ITEM 2. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On January 10,  2001,  MicroAge,  Inc.  ("MicroAge")  and its  wholly-owned
subsidiary,  MicroAge Technology Services,  L.L.C. ("MTS") completed the sale to
CompuCom  Systems,  Inc.  ("CompuCom")  of  substantially  all of the assets and
business of MTS. The  transaction  was approved by the United States  Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Arizona pursuant to an order dated December 22, 2000.

     The assets of MTS  purchased by CompuCom  include field  equipment,  office
leases, accounts receivable, inventory and customer service contracts.

     Proceeds to the MicroAge  estate  arising from the sale, in terms of direct
cash consideration payable and assumption of liabilities,  are anticipated to be
approximately  $85,000,000.  Based on these proceeds and remaining assets in the
estate and a review of  outstanding  unsecured  creditors'  claims  against  the
estate,  MicroAge believes that current asset and debt structures  indicate that
holders of  MicroAge  common  stock  will not  receive  distributions  under any
ultimate plan of reorganization or liquidation process.
