FOREWORD     
          
  This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A of AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("AmeriQuest"), was prepared as of October 13, 1995 and
reflects information as of June 30, 1995, the end of AmeriQuest's fiscal year,
(i) except as indicated otherwise herein and (ii) except for certain
amendments to the Annual Report that have been made subsequent to October 13,
1995 primarily to correct certain numerical information contained in the
Annual Report. No representation is made that the description of the Company's
business or other information in the Annual Report is accurate as of the date
of this amendment. This Annual Report will be furnished to AmeriQuest's
stockholders pursuant to the requirements of Rule 14a-3(b) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.     
   
  The information set forth herein is based on historical information. To the
extent that this Annual Report includes forward-looking statements, such
statements involve uncertainty and risk, and actual results could differ
materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements.     
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
 
THE COMPANY
   
  AmeriQuest maintains its principal executive offices at 3 Imperial
Promenade, Santa Ana, California, and its telephone number is (714) 445-5000.
AmeriQuest conducts its business through its subsidiaries.     
 
  CDS Distribution, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CDS Distribution") and
AmeriQuest/NCD, Inc., a Florida corporation ("AmeriQuest/NCD") and Robec,
Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Robec") market and sell, as distributors,
hardware products for the personal computer market. AmeriQuest/Kenfil Inc.
("Kenfil"), markets and sells, as a distributor, software products for the
personal computer market. The domestic entertainment software business of
Kenfil was terminated in June 1995, such that its primary business currently
is derived from the sale of application software in Asia.
 
  CMS Enhancements, Inc., a California corporation ("CMS Enhancements") is a
supplier of hard disk drive subsystems for IBM compatible and other leading
personal and business computers, including Apple, Compaq and others. Hard disk
drives allow personal computers, which otherwise often lack sufficient data
storage capacity, to perform many widely used, sophisticated business
applications. CMS Enhancements also offers disk array, magneto optical, CD-
ROM, floppy disk drives and magnetic tape back-up subsystems having a variety
of data storage capacities as well as personal computers, networking,
graphics, communications and connectivity and accessory products.
 
  AmeriQuest currently markets more than 2,000 products to original equipment
manufacturers, value-added resellers and dealers throughout the United States
and in many foreign countries, including national and regional distributors
and large integrators such as Intelligent Electronics and ENTEX.
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  On August 7, 1995, AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc. ("AmeriQuest") entered into
a purchase agreement with Computer 2000 AG and its wholly-owned subsidiary
Computer 2000, Inc. (herein referred to collectively as "Computer 2000")
pursuant to which, among other things:
 
  1. On August 22, 1995, Computer 2000 exchanged an $18 million Promissory
     Note from AmeriQuest 2000, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     AmeriQuest, in exchange for (i) 810,811 shares of AmeriQuest's Series A
     Preferred Stock (convertible into 8,108,110 shares of AmeriQuest Common
     Stock upon the authorization of the underlying Common Stock) and (ii)
     warrants to purchase 657,289 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
     (convertible into 6,572,890 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock upon the
     authorization of the underlying Common Stock) exercisable at $0.50 per
     share of the Series D Preferred; and
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
  2. On August 22, 1995, Computer 2000 purchased (i) 1,785,714 shares of
     AmeriQuest's Series B Preferred Stock (convertible into 17,857,140
     shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock upon the authorization of the
     underlying Common Stock) and (ii) warrants to purchase 746,186 shares of
     Series D Preferred Stock (convertible into 7,461,860 shares of
     AmeriQuest Common Stock upon the authorization of the underlying Common
     Stock) exercisable at $.50 per share of Series D Preferred Stock in
     consideration of $31.25 million cash; and
 
  3. In consideration for the debt conversion and the additional investment,
     Computer 2000 was granted additional pari passu rights with respect to
     other warrants and options issued by AmeriQuest, as well as a warrant to
     purchase that number of shares equal to the total number of shares of
     Common Stock issued and to be issued by AmeriQuest in excess of
     2,800,000 shares in the acquisition of Robec, Inc. at an effective price
     of $0.05 per share; and
 
  4. Computer 2000 assumed control of the Board of Directors (five of nine
     directors, the Board being expanded to nine directors at that time),
     control of the management of AmeriQuest (Chief Executive Officer and
     Chief Operating Officer) and ownership of preferred stock which votes
     with AmeriQuest's Common Stock with a voting power equal to
     approximately 52.7 of all shares entitled to vote on matters presented
     to shareholders. (The voting percentage can increase to approximately
     62% of AmeriQuest voting shares upon the exercise of the warrants and
     options referenced above.)
 
                               ----------------
   
  AmeriQuest acquired 50.1% of Robec in September 1994. The Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") between
AmeriQuest, Robec and certain principal shareholders of Robec provides that
AmeriQuest must issue additional shares upon the acquisition of the minority
shares pursuant to a merger between Robec and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
AmeriQuest, i.e. RI Acquisition, Inc. The shareholders of Robec approved the
merger on September 27, 1995, and the merger was to close on or before
September 29, 1995. However, due to the adjustment in merger consideration
based on the comparative market values of Robec's common stock in relation to
AmeriQuest Common Stock, the number of shares to be issued under the strict
terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds 20% of the prior outstanding AmeriQuest
Common Stock such that it may be necessary to secure the approval of
AmeriQuest shareholders to comply with New York Stock Exchange requirements
and possibly authorize an increase in authorized shares of AmeriQuest Common
Stock before the merger can be consummated. The acquisition of Robec by
AmeriQuest closed in November 1995, as more fully described in AmeriQuest's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 13, 1995.     
 
                               ----------------
 
  In June 1995 Kenfil terminated its entertainment and educational software
business, such that Kenfil is now engaged primarily in the distribution of
business applications, utilities, graphics and communication software to the
Asian market.
 
                               ----------------
 
  At various dates during fiscal year 1995 and continuing into September 1995,
AmeriQuest was in default to its primary lender due to noncompliance with
certain financial ratio and covenant compliance. In October 1995, the Company
received waivers from its primary lender for non-compliance of the financial
covenants of the NCD credit agreement. The Company has also amended its credit
agreements covering its remaining borrowings to remove the financial covenants
which the Company was not in compliance with on June 30, 1995, pending
renegotiation of the financial covenants. The amendment also allows the lender
to cancel the credit agreement with 60 days notice. No assurance can be given
that AmeriQuest's primary lender will continue to forbear collection of the
debt owed to it. At October 13, 1995, AmeriQuest, through AmeriQuest/NCD, had
approximately $8 million available under its existing credit facilities based
upon then available collateral.
   
  The Company is in the process of negotiating the refinancing of its credit
agreements. One of these credit lines was retired and replaced and guaranteed
by Computer 2000 AG, as more fully described in AmeriQuest's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the three-months ended December 31, 1995. Management believes
that improvements in operating cash flows resulting from cost containment
activities together with available borrowings on current credit agreements and
the expected refinancing will allow the Company to meet its obligations and
capital needs as they arise through June 30, 1996.

AMERIQUEST DISTRIBUTION
 
  CDS Distribution and AmeriQuest/NCD (collectively referred to hereinafter as
"AmeriQuest Distribution") are national valued-added wholesale distributors of
microcomputers and related products to value-added resellers ("VARs"), dealers
and computer retailers. AmeriQuest Distribution markets, sells and supports a
variety of products ranging from individual components, which are typically
sold in volume, to complete systems that have been fully configured, assembled
and tested prior to delivery to its customers. Strategy has been to emphasize
the sale of these complete systems and to provide a high level of value-added
services, including consultation on component selection and system
configuration and provision of system assembly and testing and technical
support services.
 
  Vendors include leading manufacturers such as IBM, AST, NEC, Acer, Altos,
Western Digital, Telebit, and Multi-tech Systems. AmeriQuest Distribution
focuses its marketing efforts on the products of a limited number of key
vendors in order to become one of the leading distributors for each of its
principal vendors. This enables AmeriQuest Distribution to develop product-
specific technical expertise that enhances its value-added support services.
AmeriQuest Distribution attempts to minimize competition among vendors'
products while maintaining some overlap to provide protection against product
shortages or discontinuations.
 
  Price discounting by its competitors has forced AmeriQuest Distribution to
reduce its prices, resulting in deteriorating gross margins for commodity
products. The effects of such price discounting on the Company are reflected
in the periodic net sales and gross margins as reflected elsewhere herein.
AmeriQuest Distribution is pursuing a broad restructuring program which
includes, among other items cost reductions, the closing of certain offices
and warehouse locations, downsizing of the employee base, consolidation of
inventory and a change in emphasis among the methods by which sales are
obtained.
 
 Products
 
  AmeriQuest Distribution seeks to maintain products from nationally-
recognized vendors that provide all the components most VARs require to fully
configure their computer systems. All new products are extensively tested
prior to inclusion in AmeriQuest Distribution's distribution network.
 
  The following is a description of the major categories of products currently
sold by AmeriQuest Distribution and the principal current vendors of those
products.
 
  Microcomputers--AmeriQuest Distribution distributes desktop and portable
personal computers and multiuser microcomputers manufactured by Acer, Altos,
IBM, and AST.
 
  Printers--AmeriQuest Distribution distributes a broad line of dot matrix,
laser and ink-jet printers manufactured by Lexmark, Canon and Citizen.
 
  Monitors and Terminals--AmeriQuest Distribution distributes monitors and
terminals manufactured by CTX, Goldstar, AOC and Viewsonic.
 
  Local Area Networks--A local area network ("LAN") permits microcomputers to
communicate with one another and to function on an integrated basis.
AmeriQuest Distribution distributes LAN software and specialized hardware
products manufactured by C Net, Microdyne and N.D.C.
 
  Accessories and Supplies--AmeriQuest Distribution distributes hard and
floppy disk drives, board products, diskettes, stand-by power supplies, modems
and other communications products, accessories and supplies manufactured by
numerous companies including Boca Research, IBM, CMS, American Power,
Tripplite and Epson.

 Vendor Relations
 
  To maintain a strong relationship with its principal vendors, AmeriQuest
Distribution focuses on marketing the products of a limited number of key
vendors. AmeriQuest Distribution selects its product line to minimize
competition among vendors' products while maintaining some overlap to provide
protection against product shortages or discontinuations. In addition,
AmeriQuest Distribution enhances its relationship with its vendors by
providing feedback on products, assisting in new product development, working
with vendors to develop marketing programs and offering vendors the
opportunity to provide seminars to AmeriQuest Distribution's customers at
AmeriQuest Distribution facilities.
 
  AmeriQuest Distribution, like most hardware distributors, sells products
throughout the United States for vendors on a non-exclusive basis without
geographic restrictions. AmeriQuest Distribution has distribution agreements
with most of its vendors and believes they are in the form customarily used by
each vendor and generally contain provisions which allow termination by either
party upon as little as 30 days' notice. Most of AmeriQuest Distribution's
major distribution agreements provide price protection by giving AmeriQuest
Distribution a credit, subject to specified limitations, in the amount of any
price reductions by the vendor between the time of the initial sale to
AmeriQuest Distribution and the subsequent sale by AmeriQuest Distribution to
its customer. Most of the major distribution agreements also give AmeriQuest
Distribution qualified return privileges on slow-moving inventory. AmeriQuest
Distribution's distribution agreements do not restrict AmeriQuest Distribution
from selling similar products manufactured by competitors. Any minimum
purchase provisions in AmeriQuest Distribution's distribution agreements are
at levels that AmeriQuest Distribution believes do not impose significant
risk.
 
  From time to time, the demand for certain products sold by AmeriQuest
Distribution exceeds the supply available from the vendor. AmeriQuest
Distribution believes that its ability to compete has not been adversely
affected to a material extent by these periodic shortages, although sales may
be adversely affected for an interim period. In order to limit the impact of
such shortages, AmeriQuest Distribution generally attempts to include
comparable products from more than one vendor in its product line and
endeavors to provide direction to its customers in their selection of
products.
 
 Sales and Distribution
 
  AmeriQuest Distribution has divided its sales operations into five domestic
and three international regions, each covering a geographical section of the
country. Compensation is based, in part, on the gross profits generated from
sales. The regional manager is a technically-trained salesperson and is
responsible for opening new accounts and serving all established accounts in
the manager's customer base. AmeriQuest Distribution also utilizes volume
sales specialists at its offices who sell largely through telemarketing.
 
  Customer orders are generally made by a toll-free telephone call to a sales
representative in AmeriQuest Distribution's sales offices, and the order is
entered onto AmeriQuest Distribution's computer system. The sales
representative has access to available information on inventory and customer
credit status and, upon reviewing this data, can enter the order immediately.
Shipment is usually made the same day, except on orders that require assembly
and testing. Customers also may pick up their orders at the designated
warehouse. All orders are handled on a prepayment, COD or credit basis
depending on the customer's creditworthiness and previous payment history. In
addition, AmeriQuest Distribution assists some resellers in obtaining
equipment financing through third-party floor planning programs.
 
  AmeriQuest Distribution permits the return of products within certain time
limits and under certain conditions subject to a restocking charge, provided
that the products are unused. Products that are defective upon arrival are
handled on a manufacturers' warranty return basis without any restocking
charge.
 
  AmeriQuest Distribution estimates that a majority of its sales are to VARs
and value-added dealers. No customer has accounted for more than 10% of
AmeriQuest Distribution's net sales during 1995, 1994 or 1993. Sales by
AmeriQuest Distribution are not seasonal to any material extent. Because of
AmeriQuest Distribution's prompt delivery times, it maintains no substantial
backlog of orders.

KENFIL
 
  In June 1995 Kenfil terminated its entertainment and educational software
business, such that Kenfil is now engaged primarily in the distribution of
business applications, utilities, graphics and communication software to the
Asian market.
 
 International Operations and Sales
 
  AmeriQuest Distribution serves the international market place, primarily
South America, through its regional office and warehouse in Miami, Florida.
This business represents over 20% of total sales, and is a vital part of
AmeriQuest's growth strategy.
 
ROBEC
   
  AmeriQuest acquired 50.1% of Robec in September 1994. The Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") between
AmeriQuest, Robec and certain principal shareholders of Robec provides that
AmeriQuest must issue additional shares upon the acquisition of the minority
shares pursuant to a merger between Robec and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
AmeriQuest, i.e. RI Acquisition, Inc. The shareholders of Robec approved the
merger on September 27, 1995, and the merger was to close on or before
September 29, 1995. However, due to the adjustment in merger consideration
based on the comparative market values of Robec's common stock in relation to
AmeriQuest Common Stock, the number of shares to be issued under the strict
terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds 20% of the prior outstanding AmeriQuest
Common Stock such that it may be necessary to secure the approval of
AmeriQuest shareholders to comply with New York Stock Exchange requirements
and possibly authorize an increase in authorized shares of AmeriQuest Common
Stock before the merger can be consummated. The acquisition of Robec by
AmeriQuest closed in November 1995, as more fully described in AmeriQuest's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 13, 1995.     
 
  The predecessor of Robec, Inc. ("Robec") was incorporated in Nevada in 1977.
On August 16, 1989, this predecessor company was merged into a new
Pennsylvania corporation to form Robec. The authorized capital stock of Robec
consists of 10 million shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and 5
million shares of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share. In October 1989,
Robec completed the initial public offering of its Common Stock, receiving net
proceeds of approximately $12.7 million through the sale of 1,350,000 shares
of Common Stock. The net proceeds of the public offering were used to repay
bank borrowings, part of which were incurred to fund a dividend paid to
shareholders of record prior to the offering in connection with the
termination of Robec's status as a corporation subject to taxation under
Subchapter S of the Code. In February 1990, Robec acquired certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of J. Crew, Inc., doing business as Electronic
Marketing Specialists, Inc., which was engaged in the distribution of
microcomputers.
 
  Robec is primarily a national valued-added wholesale distributor of
microcomputers and related products to value-added resellers ("VARs"), dealers
and computer retailers and primarily operates in this one business segment.
Robec markets, sells and supports a variety of products ranging from
individual components, which are typically sold in volume, to complete systems
that have been fully configured, assembled and tested prior to delivery to its
customers. Robec's historic strategy has been to emphasize the sale of these
complete systems and to provide a high level of value-added services,
including consultation on component selection and system configuration and
provision of system assembly and testing and technical support services. As a
result of competitive pressures, reduced profit margins and the way in which
other, similar distributors have changed their businesses, Robec is now
placing more emphasis on telemarketing as its primary sales method. Robec also
provides a variety of training programs and educational seminars designed to
enhance its customers' technical capabilities. In March 1994, Robec began, in
respect to new customers, to discontinue its maintenance services and sales of
spare parts and supplies for microcomputers and related products. Robec
believes that the discontinuation of these services will not have a material
effect on its inventory or results of operations.
 
  Robec's vendors include leading manufacturers such as Acer, Altos, Digi-
Board, Fujitsu, IBM, Okidata, Multi-tech Systems, Samsung, Texas Instruments,
Unisys and Wyse. Robec focuses its marketing efforts on the
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
products of a limited number of key vendors in order to become one of the
leading distributors for each of its principal vendors. This enables Robec to
develop product-specific technical expertise that enhances its value-added
support services. Robec attempts to minimize competition among vendors'
products while maintaining some overlap to provide protection against product
shortages or discontinuations.
 
 Products
 
  Robec seeks to maintain products from nationally-recognized vendors that
provide all the components most VARs require to fully configure their computer
systems. All new products are extensively tested prior to inclusion in Robec's
distribution network.
 
  The following is a description of the major categories of products currently
sold by Robec and the principal current vendors of those products.
 
  Microcomputers--Robec distributes desktop and portable personal computers
and multiuser microcomputers manufactured by Acer, Altos, IBM, Trigem and
Unisys.
 
  Printers--Robec distributes a broad line of dot matrix, laser and ink-jet
printers manufactured by Citizen, Fujitsu and Okidata.
 
  Monitors and Terminals--Robec distributes monitors and terminals
manufactured by Acer, CTX, Link, Orchestra, Qume, Relisys, Samsung, Unisys and
Wyse.
 
  Local Area Networks--A LAN permits microcomputers to communicate with one
another and to function on an integrated basis. Robec distributes LAN software
and specialized hardware products manufactured by Computone, Digi-Board, D-
Link, Samsung and Unisys. Many of these products are offered with Novell,
Moses Computers or EMEX software.
 
  Accessories and Supplies--Robec distributes hard and floppy disk drives,
board products, diskettes, stand-by power supplies, modems and other
communications products, accessories and supplies manufactured by numerous
companies including Boca Research, Mountain Computer, Multi-Tech Systems, UDS
and 3M.
 
  Software--Robec sells a variety of operating system and LAN software
products generally as part of its systems sales. Robec has also commenced the
sale of certain applications software. Among the manufacturers of these
software products are SCO, Data Access and Novell.

  To maintain a strong relationship with its principal vendors, Robec focuses

provisions in Robec's distribution agreements are at levels that Robec
believes do not impose significant risk.

  From time-to-time, the demand for certain products sold by Robec exceeds the
supply available from the vendor. Robec believes that its ability to compete

 Competition
 
  Competition in the distribution of microcomputer products is intense.
Principal national distributors are Ingram Micro D, Inc., Merisel, Inc. and
Tech Data Corporation. AmeriQuest Distribution and Robec also compete with
numerous manufacturers, resellers, retailers and regional distributors. Most
of AmeriQuest Distribution's and Robec's major competitors have substantially
greater financial resources than AmeriQuest Distribution or Robec, even on a
combined basis.
 
  Competition is primarily based upon availability of product, price, speed of
delivery, convenience, technical support and other support services.
AmeriQuest Distribution believes that it is generally competitive with respect
to each of these factors and that its principal, competitive advantages are
its technical support and other support services, and speed of delivery.
 
  The software distribution industry is highly competitive. Competition within
the industry is based primarily on price and product availability, and to a
lesser extent on the speed of delivery and the level of marketing and other
services provided. Certain of Kenfil's competitors have substantially greater
financial resources than Kenfil. Kenfil's principal competitors include
international distributors such as Ingram Micro Inc. and Merisel, Inc., both
of which distribute hardware products in addition to software. Because of the
intense competition within the industry, software distributors, including
Kenfil, have low gross and operating margins. Consequently, Kenfil's
profitability is highly dependent upon effective management and control of
costs.
 
  The manner in which microcomputer software products are distributed and sold
is changing, and new methods of distribution may emerge or expand. Software
publishers have sold, and may intensify their efforts to sell, their products
directly to resellers and end-users, including certain major reseller
customers of Kenfil. From time to time certain publishers have instituted
programs for the direct sale of large-order quantities of software to major
corporate accounts, and these types of programs may continue to be used by
various publishers. In addition, certain major publishers have implemented
programs for master copy distribution of software (site licensing). These
programs generally grant an organization the right to make any number of
copies of software for distribution within the organization provided that the
organization pays a fee to the publisher for each copy made. Also, publishers
may attempt to increase the volume of software products distributed
electronically to end-user's microcomputers. These factors, among others, led
the Company's decision to terminate its entertainment software business.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
 
AMERIQUEST
 
  AmeriQuest's principal offices are located in leased facilities in Santa
Ana, California. AmeriQuest, CDS Distribution and Kenfil are all housed
primarily in this facility, which consists of approximately 55,000 square feet
of office space, which occupy two floors of an eleven story office building.
The principal offices for CMS Enhancements, Inc. are located in a 62,428
square foot, single level office/warehouse facility in Anaheim, California.
 
  AmeriQuest's distribution facilities previously were located in Irvine,
California and Wilmington, Ohio. The inventory previously maintained in
Irvine, California was relocated to Anaheim, California. Inventory for CDS
Distribution previously maintained in Wilmington, Ohio was relocated to an
AmeriQuest/NCD warehouse facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Kenfil
products continue to be stored and shipped from Wilmington, Ohio. Presently,
there are a total of six warehouse distribution locations for AmeriQuest. One
of the six is located in Horsham, Pennsylvania, in a Robec facility. All
facilities are leased.
 
ROBEC
 
  Robec's executive, administrative and main sales offices are located in
Robec's facility in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This facility
consists of 36,000 square feet of office space and 69,000 square feet of
warehouse space. The current owner of this facility is a partnership
affiliated with the management of Robec.
 
  Robec's branch offices generally consist of between 900 and 10,200 square
feet of office space, depending on market size. The Atlanta branch was
relocated to a 79,587 square foot facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia in July
1995. This facility is currently leased by AmeriQuest. Robec occupies
approximately 15,000 square feet of warehouse space and 3,000 square feet of
office space. The move was made as a planned consolidation of two facilities
located in the Atlanta area. Robec's branch offices are equipped with
standardized telephone, security and computer systems which Robec installs and
programs.
 
  Robec leases all of its offices, two of which are leased from partnerships
affiliated with the management of Robec. The leases generally provide for a
base minimum rental per square foot. In addition, Robec is generally
responsible for its pro rata share of maintenance expenses for common areas,
real estate taxes and insurance. Robec is evaluating its current needs for
branch offices and expects to reduce both the number and sizes of its branch
offices during 1995. Robec's current leases generally permit the early
termination of the lease upon payment of a penalty equal to the amount of one
year's rent. If Robec should desire to extend any of the current leases, Robec
believes that extensions on satisfactory terms, or alternative locations,
generally would be available, although there can be no assurance that Robec
would be able to negotiate further extensions of any particular lease.

ITEM 3. 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 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.

  Richard M. Terrell, et al. vs. AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc., was filed
December 20, 1994 in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County
of Washington, Case No. C941228CV. The Company learned by happenstance during
the week of May 11, 1995 that default judgments in the amount of $15.9 million
were entered against it and its former Chief Executive Officer in the Circuit
Court of Washington County, Oregon on February 17, 1995 in favor of certain
shareholders of defunct Microware Corporation ("Microware"). The lawsuit
relates to the Company's decision not to proceed with the acquisition of
Microware in early 1993. The judgement has since been vacated. In the opinion
of management the suit is without merit. The Plaintiffs' claims are premised
on a Share Exchange Agreement dated January 14, 1993 by and between the
Company and the Plaintiffs, which was terminated on January 21, 1993 in light
of an ever continuing and accelerating deterioration in the operations of
Microware, which the Company believed to constitute a "material adverse
change" under the Share Exchange Agreement.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
 
  On September 12, 1994, the shareholders of Kenfil and AmeriQuest approved
the proposed merger of "AmeriQuest/Kenfil Inc.," a wholly-owned subsidiary of
AmeriQuest, with and into Kenfil Inc. (the "Merger"). The Merger has since
become effective, and AmeriQuest is now the sole shareholder of
AmeriQuest/Kenfil Inc. In connection with the Merger, AmeriQuest issued
1,046,252 shares of its Common Stock to the Kenfil minority shareholders,
1,894,360 shares to the holders of Kenfil Inc's subordinated debt and
2,788,353 shares to Kenfil Inc's vendors. The vote on this matter was
6,636,184 shares FOR, 21,000 shares AGAINST and 2,815 shares ABSTAINED.
 
  In order to accommodate the Merger, the shareholders of AmeriQuest also
approved an amendment to AmeriQuest's Certificate of Incorporation to increase
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of AmeriQuest from 10,000,000
shares to 30,000,000 shares. The vote on this matter was 6,875,775 shares FOR,
25,129 shares AGAINST and 3,997 shares ABSTAINED. A total of 11,005,625 shares
were outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date.

- ------
(1) The sales increase in 1995 was due primarily to acquisitions. The sales
    increase in 1994 compared to 1993 was largely due to the initiation of a
    broader distribution strategy. Year to year sales declines from 1991 to
    1993 were principally due to an eroding customer base and reduced emphasis
    on commodity products.
 
(2) The losses in 1995 were impacted by the Company's decision to terminate
    the entertainment software business and costs incurred to integrate prior
    acquisitions. Losses in 1994, 1992 and 1991 related principally to
    corporate restructurings in 1994 and 1992 and erosion of the customer base
    in 1991 to 1993 not offset by operating cost decreases.
 
(3) Includes the $18 million advance from Computer 2000 related to its equity
    investment (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and $5.8
    million associated with the issuance of 6.8 million shares of the
    Company's common stock required to complete the Robec merger (see Note 2
    to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  AmeriQuest is in a single line of business, namely the distribution of
personal and other computing hardware and to a lesser extent software
products. AmeriQuest has followed a business strategy of growth by
acquisition, consistent with the consolidation that is occurring in the
maturing personal computer marketplace. For this strategy to be successful,
the Company must:
 
  . Integrate the operations of Robec
 
  . Combine the business cultures of diverse operations
 
  . Obtain adequate capital resources to fund working capital required for
  continuing operations
 
  During the last half of fiscal 1994 and through fiscal 1995, the Company
completed the acquisitions of several regional distributors, Kenfil, Inc.,
NCD, Inc. and 50.1 percent of Robec, Inc. This completes the Company's
currently planned acquisitions except for the remaining 49.9 percent interest
in Robec, Inc. which management expects to complete in the first half of
fiscal 1996. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 in anticipation of the
completion of Computer 2000's equity investment and with input from Computer
2000's management, the Company made the decision to terminate its
entertainment software business which was a substantial portion of Kenfil
Inc.'s U.S. operations. (See a further discussion below.) The Company still
operates Kenfil's application software distribution business in Asia.
 
  The following reflects the net changes in each specified account as regards
to the implementation of the business strategy of the Company:

SIGNIFICANT FISCAL 1995 NET LOSS
 
  The Company incurred significant losses during fiscal 1995 related to
acquired operations. The most substantial portion of this loss, $30.1 million,
resulted from the decision to terminate Kenfil's entertainment software
business ($20.3 million related to the write-off of intangible assets and $9.8
million of reserves to write down inventory to liquidation value and customer
and vendor receivables to their recoverable value). Additional operating
losses of $8.1 million were incurred to integrate operations, systems and
business practices, as well as consolidate warehouse facilities, reduce
headcount and eliminate redundant regional distribution operations. These
costs are summarized below:

  In addition to operating losses incurred directly related to current year
acquisition activity, significant operating losses were incurred at the
Company's CDS, NCD and Robec subsidiaries. These operating losses resulted
from significant competitive pricing pressures reducing sales prices and gross
margins, pre-integration operating costs related to redundant warehouse
facilities and personnel and, inventory write-downs due to elimination of
targeted product lines, loss of certain vendors and a fourth quarter
liquidation strategy required to raise sufficient levels of operating cash
flow (see liquidity section below).
 
  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, in anticipation of the completion of
Computer 2000's equity investment and with input from Computer 2000's
management, AmeriQuest management decided to refocus the strategic direction
of the Company. The new strategic direction is focused upon the higher margin
computer hardware and value-added manufacturing segments of the Company's
business. As such, the decision was made to terminate Kenfil's entertainment
software business.
 
  Operating results from Kenfil's entertainment software business during
fiscal year 1995 are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>
 
NET SALES
 
  During the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, with emphasis upon a broader
based distribution strategy, net sales increased 373% and 20%, respectively,
as contrasted with the prior year. The majority of these sales increases were
directly associated with the operations of acquired businesses. AmeriQuest has
also emphasized value-added assembly of certain products, limited in fiscal
year 1995 and 1994 to mass storage devices.
 
  Net sales at NCD and Robec during fiscal 1995 are below their pre-
acquisition levels experienced during comparable periods in the prior year.
This is due to significant competitive pricing pressures, lost product lines
and lost volume directly related to the Company's sales force integration
efforts.
 
  An integral aspect of AmeriQuest's business is to exchange products sold to
customers which are either incompatible units or do not work for a variety of
technical and other reasons. If such products are ultimately determined to be
defective, AmeriQuest, under contract terms with its vendors, is able to
return such products to its vendors. Under such exchange arrangements
AmeriQuest's economic risk is nominal and generally limited to the costs of
freight and technical services, both current period charges to expense. An
aggregate warranty and returns reserve of approximately $2 million is
reflected in the balance sheet of AmeriQuest at June 30, 1995.
 
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
 
  The Company operates in the personal computer industry, which is affected by
significant technological change and short product life cycles. Competitors
have financial, marketing, or management resources substantially greater than
those of AmeriQuest. Product lines sold by AmeriQuest are also offered by many
other distributors, which in combination with short product life cycles, can
result in rapid declines in product gross margins. In addition, inventory is
subject to loss due to short-term technological obsolescence.
 
  Gross margin and operating results were negatively impacted during fiscal
1995 by significant costs and management efforts focused on the integration of
the acquired businesses. Gross margin has also been negatively impacted by
high levels of sales returns and very competitive pricing in its software and
certain
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
regional hardware distribution businesses along with inventory losses of $17
million related primarily to the elimination of certain product lines, loss of
certain vendors and a fourth quarter liquidation strategy to raise sufficient
levels of operating cash flow.
 
  The Company's gross margins also declined during fiscal 1994 and 1993 as
compared to prior periods due to intense price erosion on many AmeriQuest
product lines.
 
  AmeriQuest anticipates that it will continue to experience downward pressure
on gross margins due to industry price competition. Although AmeriQuest
expects that it will be able to continue to reduce selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, no assurance can be given as
to whether such reductions will, in fact, occur or as to the actual amount of
any such reductions. To the extent gross margins continue to decline and the
Company is not successful in increasing sales and, reducing selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, the Company will
experience further negative operating results.
 
  AmeriQuest manages its inventories by maintaining sufficient quantities to
achieve high order fill rates while at the same time attempting to stock only
those products in high demand with a rapid turnover rate. Inventory balances
will fluctuate as the Company adds new product lines and when appropriate,
makes large purchases from manufacturers when the terms of such purchases are
considered advantageous. The Company's contracts with certain vendors provide
price protection and stock return privileges to help reduce the risk of loss
to the Company due to manufacturer price reductions and slow moving or
obsolete inventory. In addition, the Company has the right to return a certain
percentage of purchases, subject to certain limitations.
 
  In general, vendors provide various incentive programs to the Company. The
funds received under these programs are determined based on purchases and/or
sales of the vendors' product and the performance of certain training,
advertising and other market development activities. Revenue associated with
these funds is recorded when earned either as a reduction of selling, general
and administrative expenses or product cost, according to the specific nature
of the program. Market development funds received from vendors aggregated $2.7
million in fiscal year 1995 and were immaterial in fiscal years 1994 and 1993.
 
OPERATING EXPENSES
 
  For the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, selling, general and
administrative expenses were approximately 13%, 16% and 14% of net sales, as
AmeriQuest expanded its employee base and acquired new facilities to support
additional product lines to accommodate revenue growth. During fiscal 1995,
the Company wrote off intangibles of $23.8 million associated with the
decision to terminate its entertainment software business and the elimination
of certain redundant regional distribution businesses. In addition, the
Company incurred significant costs associated with the closure of redundant
warehouse facilities and the reduction of personnel. The Company also wrote
off a significant amount of customer receivables related to the termination of
its entertainment software business and recorded bad debt reserves related to
lower volume and higher credit risk customers. In 1994 AmeriQuest restructured
its operations and related charges aggregated $5.7 million. The components of
the restructuring charge are as follows (dollars in thousands):

                                                                         ======
</TABLE>
 
  As this restructuring was initiated in the middle of the fiscal year 1994,
the efforts were largely completed by year end and the related expenditures
were largely incurred at that date. The discontinued product lines related to
the then direct manufacture of personal computers utilizing proprietary design
features.
 
OPERATING RESULTS
 
  The annual and quarterly operating results of the domestic operations of the
Company during the three years ended June 30, 1995, have varied considerably
due to the acquisition of distribution companies and a reduced emphasis on
manufacturing for all but mass storage assembly of disk drives.
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
INTEREST EXPENSE
 
  Interest expense increased during the years ended June 30, 1995, and 1994 to
1.5% and .8%, respectively, of net sales, as a result of AmeriQuest's reliance
on its bank line of credit to finance increased accounts receivable and
inventories. During the year ended June 30, 1993 interest expense was .5% of
net sales.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  In the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 no income tax expense
resulted due to losses or the availability of tax operating loss carry
forwards.
 
INFLATION
 
  To date, AmeriQuest has not been significantly affected by inflation.
Moreover, technological changes in the electronics industry have generally
resulted in price reductions, despite increases in certain costs which may be
affected by inflation. In addition, many electronic components of comparable
quality can currently be purchased outside of the United States at favorable
prices.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  During fiscal year 1995, the Company has generated cash to meet its
operating needs by sales of common stock, subordinated indebtedness and bank
borrowings. At June 30, 1995, the Company had $970,000 in cash and had
borrowed approximately $73 million against its existing lines of credit.
During fiscal year 1995, the Company used $43.6 million of cash in operating
activities, compared to the use of $8.4 million in operating activities in the
prior year. The significant amount of cash used in operating activities
resulted from operating losses, investments of approximately $6 million in
business integration activities associated with the current year acquisitions,
conversion of approximately $13.3 million of trade payables into borrowings
under the Company's line of credit facility and investment in working capital
required to support the significant increase in business volume associated
with the acquired distribution companies. At June 30, 1995, the Company
incurred a net loss of $67.6 million, had a stockholders' deficit of $25.7
million and a working capital deficit of $21.4 million.
 
  In November 1994, AmeriQuest and Computer 2000 entered into an agreement
pursuant to which Computer 2000 agreed to invest approximately $50 million in
AmeriQuest in exchange for a majority ownership interest in Ameriquest. Under
the agreement Computer 2000 initially loaned AmeriQuest $18 million. In August
1995, Computer 2000 exchanged the $18 million notes and provided the Company
with additional cash proceeds of approximately $31 million in exchange for the
issuance by AmeriQuest of certain shares of AmeriQuest's preferred stock,
convertible into common stock and warrants, all subject to adjustment for
certain defined activities (see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). Further, as consideration for Computer 2000's exchange of the
notes of $18 million and Computer 2000's additional investment of $31 million,
AmeriQuest also granted to Computer 2000 certain pari passu rights with
respect to other outstanding warrants, options and other rights to acquire
shares of AmeriQuest's common stock that AmeriQuest has previously granted, or
is obligated to grant in the future, to others. After the completion of the
Computer 2000 equity investment, Computer 2000's ownership of the Company
approximated 51 percent. Computer 2000 holds warrants allowing it to increase
its ownership in the Company to approximately 61 percent. The Company used
these proceeds to repay trade debt and borrowings under its line of credit
agreements.
 
  In addition to the additional equity capital provided by Computer 2000, the
Company has begun a program to reduce operating costs through the closure of
unprofitable field sales offices and the consolidation of distribution
warehouses and the elimination of duplicate labor and non payroll operating
costs. In addition,
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
administrative costs have been reduced through the flattening of the Company's
management structure. Management is continuing these cost reduction
activities. Further cost reductions should also result through the elimination
of duplicate administration and other operating costs once the Robec merger is
complete.
 
  The Company maintains lines of credit with financial institutions which in
the aggregate provide for revolving credit of over $80 million at June 30,
1995 including a $20 million facility extended to Robec, Inc. Current lines of
credit totaling $27.5 million expire on December 31, 1995 relate to NCD.
 
  Borrowings under these facilities are limited to a contractual percentage of
eligible inventories and receivables. At June 30, 1995, all inventories and
accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under these facilities and the
lenders hold liens on substantially all of the other assets owned by the
Company. The terms of the lending agreements include certain restrictive
covenants which require the maintenance of specified financial covenants
generally related to tangible net worth, working capital and total debt to
tangible net worth. Borrowings under these lines bear interest 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 $27.5
million) and inventories (a borrowing base of over $27.5 million). At various
dates during fiscal year 1995 and continuing at September 1995, the Company
was in default to its primary lender due to noncompliance with certain
financial ratio and other covenant compliance. In October 1995, the Company
received a waiver from its primary lenders for non-compliance of the financial
covenants of the NCD credit agreement. The Company has also amended its credit
agreements covering its remaining borrowings to remove the financial covenants
which the Company was not in compliance with at June 30, 1995, pending
renegotiation of the financial covenants. The amendment also allows the lender
to cancel the credit agreement with 60 days notice. At September 30, 1995,
AmeriQuest, through NCD, had approximately $8 million available under its
existing credit facilities based upon then available collateral.
 
  The Company is in the process of negotiating the refinancing of its credit
agreements. Management expects that the Company will complete this refinancing
by December 31, 1995. Management believes that improvements in operating cash
flows resulting from the cost containment activities discussed above, together
with available borrowings on current credit agreements and the expected
refinancing will allow the Company to meet its obligations and capital needs
as they arise through June 30, 1996.
 
  Cash utilized in operations was approximately $8.4 million in fiscal 1994
and $1.2 million in fiscal 1993. In 1994 and 1993 property purchases were
limited to approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Bank
borrowings increased by approximately $23 million in 1994, principally
utilized to fund acquired assets. Borrowings in 1993 were highly variable and
did not exceed $3.6 million during the year.
 
  In 1995 and 1994 proceeds from stock issuances supplemented borrowed
resources and were largely required to complete the business acquisitions of
AmeriQuest and fund operations.
 
  In August 1995 the Company sold its Singapore subsidiary ("CMS Singapore")
to a former officer and director of the Company. The Company exchanged all of
the stock of CMS Singapore for 350,000 shares of the Company's previously
issued common stock. The consideration received for CMS Singapore is
approximately equal to its net book value.

(1) In fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, no executive officer received
    perquisites or other personal benefits, securities or property which
    exceeded the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of such executive officer's salary
    and bonus.
   
(2) Stock awards were made during fiscal 1995 to Messrs. Clark and Holmes at

    represented by non-interest bearing Promissory Notes in the amounts of
    $498,000 and $124,500, respectively. The dollar value of the compensation
    appearing in the table is based on the difference of the closing sales
    price of AmeriQuest Common Stock on October 14, 1994 ($3 3/8) and the
    $2.50 purchase price per share. Stock options awarded in fiscal 1995 and

    share, respectively, and are subject to the approval of shareholders.

    the amounts of $59,861 and $18,000, respectively.
   
(4) Irwin Bransky left AmeriQuest in March, 1995.

    $498,000 and $124,500, respectively. The Notes are due September 30, 1996.
   
(2) The option granted is a non-qualified stock option which vests in 25%
    increments every 14 months, with the first 25% scheduled to vest on
    September 14, 1995. Mr. Crystal's employment terminated in September 1995,
    and he received a severance payment equal to ten months salary in the
    amount of $125,000. Additionally, the option earlier granted was deemed to
    be fully vested, exercisable at $3.15 per share, but must be exercised
    within 90 days after the execution of the severance agreement.     
          
(3) The potential realizable values shown in these columns illustrate the
    results of hypothetical annual rates of appreciation compounded annually
    from the date of grant until the end of the option term, assuming an
    initial investment equal to the aggregate exercisable price shown for the
    option grant. These amounts are reported net of the option exercise price
    (which may be paid by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock),
    but before any taxes associated with the exercise or subsequent sale of
    the underlying shares.     
   
(4) The dollar amounts in these columns are based on the hypothetical annual
    rates of appreciation noted and are therefore not intended to forecast
    possible future appreciation, if any, of the price of AmeriQuest's Common
    Stock. Alternative formulas for determining potential realizable value
    have not been utilized because AmeriQuest is not aware of any formula
    which will determine with reasonable accuracy a present value based on
    future unknown or volatile factors. There can be no assurance that the
    dollar amounts reflected in these columns will be achieved. Actual gains,
    if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance
    of the Common Stock and overall market conditions, as well as the
    executive officer's continued employment through the vesting period.

  In May 1995, Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company of America paid

to acquire an additional 1,360,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock,

collateralized on its obligation to IBM Credit Corporation.     
 
  Messrs. Marc L. Werner, Terren S. Peizer and William N. Silvis serve on the
Compensation Committee. While there are no "interlocks" between such
individuals and other companies with which they are affiliated or associated,
AmeriQuest granted options during fiscal 1994 to Mr. Terren S. Peizer and
Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company of America, a company affiliated
with Mr. Werner, to secure the services of Messrs. Peizer and Werner in
connection with the projected efforts they were to expend in assisting
AmeriQuest in its acquisition of other companies.
   
  In October 1994, AmeriQuest granted to William N. Silvis a stock option
exercisable for 15,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock at $3.375 per share
and vesting over a three-year period. In July 1995, AmeriQuest canceled this
stock option and, in lieu thereof, granted to Mr. Silvis 15,000 fully-paid
shares of Common Stock in consideration of prior services rendered by Mr.
Silvis to AmeriQuest. At the time AmeriQuest granted this stock option and
issued these shares of Common Stock, Mr. Silvis was a Director of AmeriQuest
and a member of the Compensation Committee.

 (1) On August 22, 1995, Computer 2000 acquired 810,811 shares of AmeriQuest
     Series A Preferred Stock and 1,785,714 shares of AmeriQuest Series B
     Preferred Stock. Each such share of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
     is convertible into ten (10) shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock once
     shareholders increase the number of shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock
     authorized for issuance. The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are
     entitled to one vote for each share of underlying Common Stock and vote
     as a single class with the AmeriQuest Common Stock, such that Computer
     2000 presently holds approximately 52.7% of the outstanding voting power
     attributable to all classes voting as a single class of Common Stock
     (which includes 532,000 of AmeriQuest Common Stock also held by Computer
     2000). Additionally, as outlined under "Item 1. Business--Recent
     Developments," Computer 2000 has options and warrants to acquire
     additional shares which could ultimately increase its voting power to
     approximately 62% of all classes voting as a single class of Common
     Stock. Messrs. Harry Krischik and Klaus J.M. Laufen each have shared
     voting power over the shares held by Computer 2000 as each is also a
     Director of Computer 2000, and collectively could control any vote where
     there is only a total of three directors for Computer 2000. Messrs.
     Krischik and Laufen each disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of
     AmeriQuest held by Computer 2000 Inc. Additionally, it should be noted
     that Messrs. Steve DeWindt, Mark Mulford and Holger Heims are nominees of
     Computer 2000.

 (2) The Board of Directors of Manufacturing Indemnity and Insurance Company
     of America is vested with the voting and investment powers relating to
     the shares of AmeriQuest's Common Stock held by Manufacturers Indemnity
     and Insurance Company of America. Mr. Marc L. Werner, as a Director of
     Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company of America, may be deemed
     to have shared voting and investment powers over the 1,605,273 shares of
     AmeriQuest Common Stock held by Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance
     Company of America. In addition, Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance
     Company of America holds a four-year warrant to purchase 190,000 shares
     of Common Stock at $3.50 per share from May 14, 1995 to November 14,
     1998. The exercise price of the warrant was adjusted downward to $1.75
     per share because of the right of such purchasers to adjust the warrant
     exercise price to the same price as other investors acquire shares
     between November 14, 1994 and May 14, 1995 and another subsequent
     adjustment by the Board of Directors in August, 1995. The conversion
     price to Computer 2000 of its $18 million loan is deemed by AmeriQuest to
     constitute such a "sale." In addition, Manufacturers Indemnity and
     Insurance Company of America holds a three-year warrant to purchase
     1,360,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.05 per share thru June 30, 1998
     and a five-year option to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at
     $4.50 thru March 3, 1999.     
 (3) Includes 150,000 shares subject to stock options currently exercisable at
     $1.50 per share.
 (4) Includes 200,000 shares issued to Mr. Clark on October 14, 1994 for which
     Mr. Clark paid $2,000 in cash and tendered to AmeriQuest a one-year
     Promissory Note in the amount of $498,000. The balance of the shares are
     subject to currently exercisable stock options, exercisable at $1.00 per
     share.
 (5) Includes 50,000 shares issued to Mr. Holmes on October 14, 1994 for which
     Mr. Holmes paid $500 in cash and tendered to AmeriQuest a one-year
     Promissory Note in the amount of $124,500. The balance of the shares are
     subject to currently exercisable stock options, exercisable at $1.00 per
     share.
   
 (6) The number of shares listed for Mr. Grubstein includes 191,731 shares of
     AmeriQuest Common Stock issuable in consequence of the assumption by
     AmeriQuest of Kenfil's obligation under a Warrant originally issued to
     Corporate Efficiency Consulting, L.P., a New Jersey limited partnership
     ("CEC") for 315,000 shares of Kenfil Common Stock.     
 (7) Includes 100,000 shares subject to stock options currently exercisable at
     $3.15 per share.
 (8) Includes 40,000 shares subject to stock options currently exercisable at
     $2.00 per share.
 (9) Includes 100,000 shares subject to stock options currently exercisable at
     $2.00 per share.
   
(10) Includes 2,641,731 shares subject to stock options and warrants currently
     vested and issuable upon exercise of such options and warrants.     
(11) The address for the executive officers and directors and proposed
     directors is: 3 Imperial Promenade, Ste. 300, Santa Ana, California
     92707.
(12) Each executive officer and director has sole voting and investment power
     with respect to the shares listed, unless otherwise indicated.
   
(13) For purposes of determining the percentage of outstanding Common Stock
     held by each person or group set forth in the table, the number of shares
     held by a person or group is divided by the sum of the number of shares
     of AmeriQuest's securities outstanding on September 15, 1995 (810,811
     shares of Series A Preferred Stock; 1,785,714 shares of Series B
     Preferred Stock; and 24,303,572 shares of Common Stock) plus the number
     of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding stock options and
     warrants exercisable currently or within 60 days of September 15, 1995 by
     such person or group, in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Percentages of less than 1%
     are represented by an asterisk.     
 
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
   
  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993 AmeriQuest granted options to
each of Messrs. Walker and Silvis to purchase 5,000 shares of AmeriQuest's
Common Stock at $1.50 per share. Such options were originally due to vest over
a three-year period; however, on December 3, 1993 the Board resolved that such
options should immediately vest, and be increased to 20,000 shares, resulting
in an average exercise price of $1.875 per share. Mr. Silvis exercised his
option in full, but Mr. Walker did not exercise his option. On October 14,
1994, the Board resolved to grant Messrs. Walker and Silvis additional three-
year options relating to 15,000 shares each, exercisable at $3.375 per share.
The proposal to adjust the stock options arrangements in favor of Messrs.
Walker and Silvis and the grant of new options was proposed by new directors
without regard to any compensation that     
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
might be paid to others pursuant to recommendation of the Compensation
Committee. Additionally, on July 28, 1995, the Board resolved to cancel the
options outstanding in favor of Messrs. Walker and Silvis in the respective
amounts of 35,000 and 15,000 shares, respectively, and granted to such
individuals fully-paid shares in such amounts in recognition of their long-
standing service to AmeriQuest.
   
  On October 14, 1994, AmeriQuest sold to Harold L. Clark and Stephen G.
Holmes 200,000 shares and 50,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively at $2.50
per share. The purchase price at which AmeriQuest sold these shares was $0.10
per share greater than the purchase price at which AmeriQuest sold promissory
notes convertible into shares in a private placement completed in October
1994. Dr. Clark paid $2,000 and tendered a non-interest bearing promissory
note for the balance of $498,000. Mr. Holmes paid $500 and tendered a non-
interest bearing promissory note for the balance of $124,500. The promissory
notes are secured by the shares purchased. The promissory notes were
originally due in October 1995, but, in July 1995, AmeriQuest extended the due
date until September 1996. At the time, Dr. Clark was the Chief Executive
Officer of AmeriQuest and Mr. Holmes was the Chief Financial Officer of
AmeriQuest.     
          
  On October 14, 1994, Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company of
America paid $456,000 for (i) 190,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock and
(ii) a warrant to acquire an additional 190,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common
Stock, initially exercisable at $3.50 per share and subsequently adjusted to
$1.75 per share. Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company of America's
purchase was part of a private placement in October, 1994 to a larger group of
investors that provided funds necessary for AmeriQuest to acquire NCD. Also,
on October 14, 1994, Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company of America
acquired 200,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock in consideration of a
promise to pay $2.50 per share.     
   
  On October 14, 1994, Wendover Financial Company ("Wendover") paid $240,000
for (i) 100,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock and (ii) a warrant to
acquire an additional 100,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock, initially
exercisable at $3.50 per share and subsequently adjusted to $1.75 per share.
Wendover's purchase was part of a private placement in October, 1994 to a
larger group of investors that provided funds necessary for AmeriQuest to
acquire NCD.     
   
  In May 1995, Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company of America paid
$1,190,000 for (i) 680,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock and (ii) warrants
to acquire an additional 1,360,000 shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock,
exercisable at $1.05 per share. Manufacturers Indemnity and Insurance Company
of America's purchase was part of a private placement in June, 1995 to a
larger group of investors that provided funds necessary for AmeriQuest to meet
working capital requirements occasioned by AmeriQuest being under
collateralized on its obligation to IBM Credit Corporation.     
   
  For a description of the transaction pursuant to which Computer 2000 AG
became a greater than 5% stockholder, see "Item 1. Business--Recent
Developments" above.     
 
SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS WITH PRECEDING MANAGEMENT
   
  On July 28, 1995, the Board of Directors resolved to accede to the demands
of Mr. Gregory A. White in connection with his severance of service from
AmeriQuest. The Separation Agreement between AmeriQuest and Mr. White provides
for (i) a lump-sum payment of $500,000 within three (3) business days
following the closing of the Purchase Agreement (together with normal salary
until so paid), (ii) to continue health insurance coverage for Mr. White and
his dependents for a period of up to two years through July 11, 1997, (iii)
his option for 375,000 shares was deemed vested and exercisable for a period
of twenty-four months from the effective date of the Separation Agreement, and
(iv) AmeriQuest will allow Mr. White to retain $155,000 he took as an
interest-free loan, which shall be due and payable as soon as the market price
for AmeriQuest's Common Stock reaches $3.50 for a 20-day (consecutive) period,
provided there is then an effective registration statement available which
would allow Mr. White to sell the shares underlying his options upon exercise
thereof. AmeriQuest also forgave the outstanding loan it made to Mr. White to
assist him in relocating his family from Florida to California, in the amount
of $75,000.     
       
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
   
  On July 28, 1995, the Board of Directors, in recognition of indications that
Computer 2000 intended to replace Messrs. Clark and Holmes, resolved that
AmeriQuest should honor the terms of their severance pay concurrent with the
closing of the Computer 2000 Purchase Agreement, without compromise. However,
those provisions were mutually agreed to be compromised, based upon certain
oral understandings, and are protested. The final terms were more favorable to
AmeriQuest than those strictly provided for in the agreements, in that a
substantial portion of the cash obligation was handled by repricing
outstanding options, and certain other concessions.     
   
  The severance arrangement with Mr. Clark provided for the payment of
$270,000 cash as a consulting retainer and $20,000 for accrued vacation.
Additionally, the exercise price of Mr. Clark's 250,000 stock options was
repriced from $2.00 per share to $1.00 per share.     
   
  The severance arrangement with Mr. Holmes provided for cash payments
totaling $171,539, comprised of $160,000 severance (of which $60,000 remains
to be paid on January 1, 1996) and $11,539 for accrued vacation. AmeriQuest
also agreed to pay Mr. Holmes $12,500 per month for loan consulting services.
Additionally, the exercise price of Mr. Holmes' 100,000 stock options was
repriced from $2.00 per share to $1.00 per share.     
   
  Peter Lytle's employment by AmeriQuest terminated in September 1995. Prior
to such termination, Mr. Lytle had been Senior Vice President-Operations of
AmeriQuest. Additionally, prior to such termination, in December 1993,
AmeriQuest had granted to Mr. Lytle a non-qualified stock option exercisable
for 40,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share, expiring six years from
the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon termination of
employment. This option vested in 25% increments every 14 months. Pursuant to
the Employment Agreement, dated as of December 3, 1993, between Mr. Lytle and
AmeriQuest, Mr. Lytle was entitled in the event of the termination of his
employment other than for "cause" to severance pay in an amount equal to one
year of his base salary and, in such event, his stock options would be deemed
fully vested. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, dated September 19, 1995,
between Mr. Lytle and AmeriQuest, (i) AmeriQuest paid Mr. Lytle approximately
$110,500 and (ii) Mr. Lytle's stock option described above was deemed fully
vested and exercisable only during the 90 day period following the date of his
termination of employment.     
   
  Howard Crystal's employment by AmeriQuest terminated in September 1995.
Prior to such termination, Mr. Crystal had been Senior Vice President-
Marketing and Purchasing of AmeriQuest. Additionally, prior to such
termination, in July 1994, AmeriQuest had granted to Mr. Crystal a non-
qualified stock option exercisable for 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.15
per share, expiring six years from the date of grant, subject to earlier
termination upon termination of employment. This option vested in 25%
increments every 14 months. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, dated as of
July 14, 1994, between Mr. Crystal and AmeriQuest, Mr. Crystal was entitled in
the event of the termination of his employment other than for "cause" to
severance pay in an amount equal to one year of his base salary and, in such
event, his stock options would be deemed fully vested. Pursuant to the
Severance Agreement, dated September 19, 1995, between Mr. Crystal and
AmeriQuest, (i) AmeriQuest paid Mr. Crystal $125,000 and (ii) Mr. Crystal's
option described above was deemed fully vested and exercisable only during the
90 day period following the date of his termination of employment.     
   
  Carol Miltner's employment by AmeriQuest terminated in March 1995. Prior to
such termination, Ms. Miltner had been Executive Vice President-Sales and
Marketing of AmeriQuest. Additionally, prior to such termination, in December
1993, AmeriQuest had granted to Ms. Miltner a non-qualified stock option
exercisable for 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share, expiring
six years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon
termination of employment. This option vested in 25% increments every
14 months. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, dated as of December 3, 1993,
between Ms. Miltner and AmeriQuest, Ms. Miltner was entitled in the event of
the termination of her employment other than for "cause" to severance pay in
an amount equal to two years of her base salary and, in such event, her stock
options would be deemed fully vested. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement,
dated March 21, 1995, between Ms. Miltner and AmeriQuest, (i) AmeriQuest paid
Ms. Miltner $10, (ii) AmeriQuest paid The Consulting Group, which is wholly-
owned by Ms. Miltner, $75,000 for services rendered in 1995 and (iii) Ms.
Miltner's stock option described above was deemed fully vested and exercisable
only during the one year period following the date of her termination of
employment.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc.:
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmeriQuest
Technologies, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (AmeriQuest) as
of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1995. These financial statements and
the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of AmeriQuest's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of AmeriQuest as of June 30,
1995 and 1994 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index on
page 30 is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Description of Business. AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries
("Company" or "AmeriQuest") is a national value-added wholesale distributor of
computer hardware and related products to value-added resellers, system
integrators and computer retailers through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CDS
Distribution, Inc., AmeriQuest/NCD, Inc. and its 50.1 percent owned
subsidiary, Robec, Inc. AmeriQuest is also a supplier of hard disk drive
subsystems compatible with leading business computers, through its wholly-
owned subsidiary, CMS Enhancements, Inc. ("CMS"). CMS also offers disk array,
magneto optical, CD-ROM, floppy disk drives and magnetic tape back-up
subsystems. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kenfil, Inc., AmeriQuest
distributes business applications, utilities, graphics and communication
software to the Asian market.
 
  The Company operates in the personal computer industry, which is affected by
significant technological change and short product life cycles. Competitors
have financial, marketing, or management resources substantially greater than
those of AmeriQuest. Product lines sold by AmeriQuest are also offered by many
other distributors, which in combination with short product life cycles, can
result in rapid declines in product gross margins. In addition, inventory is
subject to loss due to short-term technological obsolescence. No one customer
represents more than 10 percent of consolidated revenues. The Company's
largest vendor accounted for approximately 11% and 20% of the Company's
purchases during fiscal years 1995 and 1994, respectively. No other vendor
represented 10% or more of the Company's purchases in either fiscal year 1995
and 1994.
 
  Basis of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of AmeriQuest and its majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
  Accounting period. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to
June 30, however, in 1994, Friday was used as the last day of the fiscal
period. The year ending dates for the past three fiscal years were July 1,
1995 and June 30, 1994 and 1993. For presentation purposes, all of the
aforementioned fiscal year ends are referred to as June 30.
 
  Inventories. Inventories consist principally of computer hardware and
software held for resale and are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out
cost or market. Reserves for inventory obsolescence and slow moving product
are provided based upon specified criteria, such as recent sales activity and
date of purchase.
 
  Property and equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight line method over
estimated useful lives as follows:
 
<TABLE>
      <S>                                                           <C>
      Equipment.................................................... 5 years
      Furniture and fixtures....................................... 5 years
      Leasehold improvements....................................... Lease term
      Vehicles..................................................... 3 to 5 years
</TABLE>
 
  Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as
incurred. Additions and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized.
When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
thereon are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
included in operations.
 
  Intangible assets. Intangible assets relate primarily to acquired
distribution channels and related vendor relationships and market positions.
Intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method from the date of
 
                                      F-7

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
acquisition over the expected period to be benefitted, currently estimated at
10 years. In determining the appropriate amortization period the Company
considered the historical length of the acquiree's vendor relationships and
the overall size and quality of the vendors and their product offerings. On a
quarterly basis, the Company assesses the recoverability of intangible assets
based upon consideration of past performance and future expectations of
undiscounted cash flow on an acquisition by acquisition basis to the extent
separately identifiable, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and For
Long Lives Assets to be Disposed of". To the extent separate assessment of
such acquired intangibles is no longer feasible (i.e. as a result of
integrating multiple acquisitions into a single business unit) such assessment
is performed on a combined basis as appropriate.
 
  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 in anticipation of the completion
of Computer 2000 A.G.'s (Computer 2000) equity investment, the Company, with
input from Computer 2000 management, made the decision to terminate its
entertainment software business and to focus its management efforts and
capital in the higher margin, value-added products, application software and
computer hardware distribution businesses. Management determined that future
operating cash flow from certain regional acquisitions will not be sufficient
to recover the related intangible assets. As a result of these assessments,
the Company wrote-off approximately $23.8 million of intangibles related to
the termination of its entertainment software business and the impairment of
intangibles related to acquired regional distributors.
 
  Market development funds. In general, vendors provide various incentive
programs to the Company. The funds received under these programs are
determined based on purchases and/or sales of the vendors' product and the
performance of certain training, advertising and other market development
activities. Revenue associated with these funds is recorded when earned either
as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses or product
cost, according to the specific nature of the program.
 
  Sales recognition. Sales are recorded as of the date shipments are made to
customers. Sales returns and allowances are reflected as a reduction in sales
and recorded in inventory at expected net realizable value. The Company
permits the return of products within certain time limits and will exchange
returned products. Products that are defective upon arrival are handled on a
warranty return basis with the Company's vendors. The Company provides for
product warranty and return obligations at the point of sale based on
estimates of expected future costs.
 
  Income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing taxes from the
liability method required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 "Accounting for Income Taxes."
 
  Net income (loss) per common share and common share equivalent. Net income
(loss) per common share and common share equivalent is computed by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents that increase
earnings per share or decrease loss per share are excluded from the
computation.
 
  Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

2. ACQUISITIONS
 
  The Company has pursued a strategy of growth through acquisition by
acquiring regional distributors with the 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 cultures and obtain adequate financing to complete acquisitions and
fund working capital requirements. All of the Company's acquisitions completed
during fiscal years 1993 through 1995 have been accounted for in accordance
with the purchase method of accounting. The Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements include acquiree's results of operations from the effective
acquisition dates.
 
  The per share valuation of the Company's common stock issued in connection
with the following acquisitions represents a discount from the quoted market
price, based upon the weighted average discounts received on recently
completed private equity cash transactions. Management believes this method of
valuation is the best indication of fair value due to the Company's thin stock
trading value and small public float.
 
  Regional distributors. During fiscal year 1994 and 1993, CDS Distribution,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of
several smaller regional distributors ("regional distributors"). Total
consideration given to complete these acquisitions was 1,730,330 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $3 million. In fiscal 1995, as a result of
the acquisitions of Robec and NCD discussed below, these distributors were
considered to be redundant, resulting in their closure and the write off of
their intangibles of approximately $3.4 million.
 
  Kenfil Inc. ("Kenfil"). As of June 1994, the Company acquired 51% of the
outstanding common stock of Kenfil for common stock of the Company. Kenfil
distributed microcomputer software in both the U.S. and Asia. As of September
1994, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding 49% of the common stock
of Kenfil and converted certain trade and subordinated debt of Kenfil for
common and preferred stock, subsequently converted to common stock of the
Company. During fiscal year 1995, the former U.S. operations of Kenfil,
including principally educational and entertainment software distribution,
were terminated by the Company. Total consideration given for the Kenfil
acquisition was 5,846,162 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
approximately $14 million, plus transaction costs of $785,000.
 
  Robec, Inc. ("Robec"). As of September 1994, the Company acquired 50.1% of
the outstanding common stock of Robec for common stock of the Company. Robec
is a distributor of computer products and services, specializing in systems
and UNIX applications, and is based in Horsham, Pennsylvania. The Company
proposes to acquire the remaining 49.9% of outstanding common stock of Robec
during fiscal year 1996. In September 1995, Robec's shareholders approved the
acquisition by AmeriQuest of the remaining 49.9% of Robec common stock not
owned by the Company.
 
  The Robec merger agreement requires the Company to issue additional common
shares to provide former and current Robec shareholders participating in the
merger with a minimum value associated with the Company's common stock issued
or to be issued to complete the merger transaction. Based upon the exchange
ratio included in the Robec merger agreement, 1,402,805 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $2.7 million was issued in exchange for 50.1
percent of Robec's common stock in September 1994. Due to the minimum value
provisions and adjustments to the exchange ratio included in the amended Robec
merger agreement, an additional 6.8 million shares of the Company's common
stock is expected to be issued to complete the Robec merger. The additional
shares to be issued are valued at $5.8 million and is recorded as a long term
liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Total consideration
is expected to be 8.2 million shares of the Company's common stock valued at
$8.5 million, plus transaction costs of $265,000. Intangible assets recorded
at June 30, 1995 related to Robec are approximately $164,000.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  The completion of the Robec merger is pending AmeriQuest shareholder
approval and an increase in the authorized number of AmeriQuest common stock
shares.
 
  National Computer Distributors ("NCD"). In November 1994, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding common stock of NCD for cash and common stock
of the Company. NCD is a distributor of computer products and services,
specializing in systems and connectivity applications. Total consideration
given in the NCD acquisition was 1,864,767 shares of the Company's common
stock valued at $4.1 million and cash of $3.4 million. Intangible assets
recorded at June 30, 1995 related to NCD are approximately $9.7 million.
 
  In connection with the issuance of the Company's common stock associated
with the NCD acquisition, the Company entered into a stock repurchase
agreement with holders of 661,586 shares of the Company's common stock. The
holders of the Company's common stock covered by this agreement have required
the Company to repurchase the stock at $3.50 per share which is recorded as a
current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
  Management believes that distribution channel access represents the most
significant intangible acquired in connection with the acquisitions discussed
above. Management initially 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 acquiree's vendors and their product offerings. See
Note 1 for a discussion of the Company's policy for evaluating the realization
of intangible assets, the termination of the entertainment software business
and the related fiscal 1995 write-off of intangibles.
 
  The following unaudited pro forma combined information shows the results of
the Company's operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 as
though the acquisitions and the Computer 2000 equity investment (see Note 8)
all had occurred as of the beginning of each respective fiscal year (in
thousands except per share data):

</TABLE>
 
  Inventories are reflected net of reserves of approximately $13.8 million and
$2.6 million at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Inventories do not
contain any labor or overhead.
 
  The Company manages its inventories by maintaining sufficient quantities to
achieve high order fill rates while at the same time attempting to stock only
those products in high demand with a rapid turnover rate. Inventory balances
will fluctuate as the Company adds new product lines and when appropriate,
makes large purchases from manufacturers when the terms of such purchases are
considered advantageous. Short product life years and rapid technological
obsolescence significantly increases the risk of declines in inventory value
and the lack of recovery of inventory balances at recorded values. The
Company's contracts with most of its vendors provide price protection and
stock return privileges to reduce to some degree the risk of loss to the
Company due to manufacturer price reductions and slow moving or obsolete
inventory.

5. NOTES PAYABLE
 
  The Company maintains lines of credit with financial institutions which in
the aggregate provide for revolving credit of over $80 million at June 30,
1995 including a $20 million facility extended to Robec, Inc. Current lines of
credit totaling $27.5 million expire on December 31, 1995 related to NCD.
Management is currently negotiating a refinancing arrangement to replace the
expiring line of credit.
 
  Borrowings under these facilities are limited to a contractual percentage of
eligible inventories and receivables. At June 30, 1995, all inventories and
accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under these facilities and the
lenders hold liens on substantially all of the other assets owned by the
Company. The terms of the lending agreements include certain restrictive
covenants which require the maintenance of specified financial covenants
generally related to tangible net worth, working capital and total debt to
tangible net worth. Borrowings under these lines bear interest 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 $27.5
million) and inventories (a borrowing base of over $27.5 million). The
weighted average interest rate for borrowings under these credit facilities at
June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, were 11.2%, 8% and 10%, respectively.
 
  At various dates during fiscal year 1995 and continuing at September 1995,
the Company was in default to its primary lender due to noncompliance with
certain financial ratio and covenant compliance. In October 1995, the Company
received a waiver from its primary lenders for non-compliance with the
financial covenants of NCD's credit agreement. The Company has also amended
its credit agreements covering its remaining borrowings to remove the
financial covenants which the Company was not in compliance with at June 30,
1995, pending renegotiation of those covenants. The amendment also allows the
lender to cancel the credit agreements with 60 days notice. At September 30,
1995, AmeriQuest, through NCD, had approximately $8 million available under
its existing credit facilities based upon available collateral.
 
  The Company is in the process of negotiating the refinancing of its credit
agreements. Management expects that the Company will complete this refinancing
by December 31, 1995. Management believes that improvements in operating cash
flows resulting from the cost containment activities discussed above, together
with available borrowings on current credit agreements and the expected
refinancing will allow the Company to meet its obligations and capital needs
as they are required, through June 30, 1996.

  At June 30, 1995, the Company had an income tax operating loss carryforward
of approximately $52 million, which is available to offset earnings in future

consolidated net operating loss, $5 million relates to the Company's Robec
subsidiary which is not included in the Company's consolidated federal income
tax return. The Company experienced "ownership changes" in 1994 and 1995 for
income tax purposes, which will result in future annual limitations on the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to approximately $4 million
per year.

  Total rental expense under non-cancellable agreements for the years ended
June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was approximately $4,291,000, $1,083,000 and
$694,000, respectively.
 
  In June 1995, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Microware
Corporation ("Microware") regarding a default judgment in the amount of $15.9
million which had been entered against the Company in favor of certain
shareholders of the defunct Microware. The underlying lawsuit relates to the
Company's decision not to proceed with the acquisition of Microware in early
1993. Under the terms of the settlement the Company issued 125,000 shares of
its common stock to the plaintiffs and paid $50,000 in cash in exchange for
vacation of the default judgement, without prejudice. The plaintiffs refiled
their claim in July 1995 seeking $8 million of compensatory damages and $50
million of punitive damages. Management, after discussion with counsel,
believes that the plaintiff's claim is without merit. The Company is also a
party to various other legal matters. Based upon discussions with counsel,
management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's future financial position or its
results of operations.
 
  The Company is contingently liable at June 30, 1995 under the terms of
repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory
financing for dealers of the Company's products. The contingent liability
under those agreements approximates the amount financed, reduced by the resale
value of any products

which may be repurchased, and the risk of loss is spread over numerous dealers
and financial institutions. Losses under these agreements have been immaterial
in the past. Sales under these agreements during the years ended June 30,
1995, 1994 and 1993 were approximately $17 million, $7 million, and $6
million, respectively.
 
8. COMMON STOCK
 
  In November 1994, AmeriQuest and Computer 2000 entered into an agreement
pursuant to which Computer 2000 agreed to invest approximately $50 million in
AmeriQuest in exchange for a majority ownership interest in AmeriQuest. Under
the agreement Computer 2000 initially loaned AmeriQuest $18 million.
 
  In August 1995 Computer 2000 exchanged these notes for 810,811 shares of
AmeriQuest's Series A preferred stock (convertible into 8,108,110 shares of
common stock, subject to adjustment) and warrants to purchase 657,289 shares
of Series D preferred stock (convertible up to 6,572,890 shares of common
stock, subject to adjustment) exercisable at $0.53 per share of Series D
preferred stock ($0.05 per share of common stock on an as-if-converted to
common stock basis). The $18 million loan is reflected as a non-current
liability at June 30, 1995 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In
addition, Computer 2000 purchased from AmeriQuest, for $31.2 million,
1,785,714 shares of Series B preferred stock (convertible into 17,857,140
shares of common stock) and warrants to purchase 746,186 shares of Series D
preferred stock (convertible up to 7,461,860 shares of common stock, subject
to adjustment) exercisable at $.53 per share of Series D preferred stock
($0.05 per share of common stock on an as-if-converted to common stock basis).
Assuming the exercise of warrants referred to above the conversion of the
preferred stock issuable upon such exercise and the conversion of the
preferred stock AmeriQuest will have issued 40 million shares of common stock
at an average purchase price of $1.25 per share and Computer 2000 will hold
approximately 62% of AmeriQuest's outstanding voting stock.
 
  Further, in consideration for Computer 2000's exchange of the notes of $18
million and Computer 2000's additional investment of $31.2 million, AmeriQuest
also granted to Computer 2000 pari passu rights with respect to other
outstanding warrants, options and other rights to acquire shares of
AmeriQuest's Common Stock that AmeriQuest has previously granted, or is
obligated to grant in the future, to others:
 
    (i) If AmeriQuest issues in connection with its acquisition of Robec any
  shares in excess of 2,800,000 shares of common stock, including all shares
  already issued and all shares issued in the future, including shares issued
  upon the exercise of options or warrants granted, assumed or exchanged in
  connection with the Robec acquisition, then Computer 2000 will have the
  right, pursuant to certain warrants to be granted by AmeriQuest to purchase
  a number of shares of Series E preferred stock as will be convertible into
  a number of shares of common stock that will be equal to the number of
  incremental shares that are issued in connection with the Robec
  acquisition. The exercise price of the acquisition maintenance warrants
  will be $1.25 per share of Series E preferred stock ($0.05 per share of
  common stock on an as-if-converted to common stock basis).
 
    (ii) In connection with a private placement in June 1995 AmeriQuest
  issued common stock and warrants to investors, which included warrants to
  purchase up to 5,148,574 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
  $1.05 per share. If and to the extent that any of the unit warrants are
  exercised, then Computer 2000 will have the right, pursuant to certain
  warrants to be issued by AmeriQuest, to purchase a number of Series F
  preferred stock that will be convertible into a number of shares of common
  stock equal to the shares issued upon the exercise of the unit warrants.
  The exercise price of these warrants will be $5.25 per share of Series F
  preferred stock ($.525 per share of common stock on an as-if-converted to
  common stock).
 
    (iii) AmeriQuest granted to Computer 2000 an option to purchase a number
  of shares of common stock that will be equal to the number of shares of
  common stock that AmeriQuest issues upon exercise or conversion of all
  currently outstanding options, warrants or other rights (other than shares
  subject to the unit maintenance warrants and acquisitions maintenance) to
  acquire (upon conversion or otherwise) any

  shares of common stock or other equity securities of AmeriQuest. This
  option will be exercisable for the same consideration and on the same terms
  as the consideration for which and terms under which such additional shares
  are issued.
 
  On August 31, 1995, after completion of the Computer 2000 equity investment
and assuming conversion of all the preferred stock to common stock, the
Company would have 48,931,961 shares of common stock outstanding. Assuming the
completion of the Robec merger and exercise of outstanding warrants and
Computer 2000's maintenance warrant arrangements, the Company would have
approximately 96 million shares of common stock outstanding.
 
  In August 1994, the shareholders approved an increase in the authorized
common stock of the Company from 10 to 30 million shares, the effect of which
is reflected herein, however, in order to complete the Robec transaction (see
Note 2) and allow for the conversion of preferred stock held by Computer 2000,
additional common stock will be required to be authorized.
 
  The Company has instituted various stock option plans which authorize the
granting of options to key employees, directors, officers, vendors and
customers to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. All grants of
options during the years presented have been to employees or directors and
were granted at the then quoted market price. A summary of shares available
for grant and the options outstanding under the plans are as follows:

  The 56,901 options outstanding are currently exercisable.
 
  In fiscal 1995 and 1994, warrants to acquire common stock of the Company
were issued to unrelated parties aggregating in connection with private equity
and other transactions, 7,490,574 shares, are exercisable at prices ranging
from $1.05 to $5 per share (the then quoted market price) and expire through
1999. In addition,non-qualified options to acquire an additional 1,422,291
shares of common stock are outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $1 to
$4.50 per share. Of this amount, options to acquire 782,291 shares have been
issued subject to the Company obtaining appropriate shareholder approval.
 
  During 1995, the Company issued 457,692 shares of stock to various
employees, including 450,000 shares which were sold to members of management
at $2.50 per share in exchange for one-year promissory notes totaling
$1,125,000. As a result of Computer 2000's equity investment and the related
changes in management, the ultimate realizability of these notes is uncertain,
consequentially they have been reserved for in the accompanying financial
statements.
