ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


<PAGE>   2

Effective July 5, 2000, U.S. Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Registrant"), through its wholly owned subsidiary, E2Enet, Inc. ("E2Enet"),
completed its acquisition of 8225 membership units of WebMilestones.com, LLC, a
limited liability company organized under the laws of the District of Columbia
("WebMilestones"), pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement, dated as of
July 5, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among E2Enet, Charles D. Weir
and WebMilestones. As a result of this acquisition, E2Enet owns 41.125% of the
outstanding membership units of WebMilestones.

WebMilestones is a Washington-based Internet startup that publishes, via the
Internet, information on life milestones. WebMilestones has launched its first
site, WebObits.com, The National Obituary ServiceSM, which is designed to
complement local newspaper death notices and obituary services. The site also
publishes news of the most prominent deaths of the day. WebMilestones plans to
launch additional sites that feature other life milestones including birth and
marriage notices.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, E2Enet purchased 8225 membership units of
WebMilestones for $100,000 in cash and Charles Weir purchased 2050 membership
units of WebMilestones for $25,000 in cash. Charles Weir's membership units
represent 10.25% of the outstanding membership interests in WebMilestones.

In connection with the acquisition of the WebMilestones membership units, E2E
also loaned WebMilestones $300,000 and Charles Weir loaned WebMilestones $75,000
pursuant to promissory notes that bear interest at a rate equal to the prime
rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. The entire principal amount under
such promissory notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, are
payable upon demand by the holders at any time after May 31, 2002.

A portion of the net proceeds from the Registrant's recently completed private
placement of $5,184,000 of its voting Series C mandatorily convertible preferred
shares were used to fund E2E's purchase of its WebMilestones membership
interests and its loan to WebMilestones.

In connection with the acquisition of the WebMilestones membership units, E2Enet
also entered into a registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the registration
rights agreement, E2Enet and the other parties thereto are entitled to have
their respective WebMilestones securities registered, at the expense of
WebMilestones, under certain circumstances.

The foregoing summaries do not comport to be complete. The relevant agreements
are attached as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference. See Item
7(c).
