Item 2.    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

           CERBCO,  Inc.  ("CERBCO")  has entered into a definitive  Investment,
Redemption and Stock  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Agreement")  pursuant to which
Capitol Office  Solutions,  Inc. ("COS") will redeem CERBCO's entire  two-thirds
stake  in COS  held  by  CERBCO's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  CERBERONICS,  Inc.
("CERBERONICS"),  for a redemption price of approximately $19,000,000. Under the
Agreement, CERBCO, through CERBERONICS,  will also receive a two-thirds share of
an approximate $5,000,000 pre-redemption dividend of excess cash to be disbursed
by COS,  for a total of  approximately  $22,000,000  in cash to be  received  by
CERBCO, subject to formula adjustment based upon audited financial statements at
the time of closing.

           COS is a provider  of copier and fax  equipment  sales,  service  and
supplies in the Washington,  DC and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas. Additional
parties to the Agreement include Armen Manoogian,  President and one-third owner
of COS, and Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Fund IV of Chicago, IL.

           The  transaction  is  conditioned,  among other  things,  upon CERBCO
receiving an opinion from an investment banker stating that the consideration to
be received is fair to CERBCO.  The  transaction  is also subject to receiving a
favorable vote of CERBCO's shareholders. The transaction is expected to close on
or before June 30, 1997.

Item 7.    Financial Statements and Exhibits

           The following  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated  balance
sheet  represents  CERBCO's  financial  position at December  31, 1996 as if the
disposition  by CERBCO of COS had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma
condensed  consolidated  statements  of  operations  represent  the  results  of
CERBCO's  operations  for the year ended June 30, 1996 and the six months  ended
December 31, 1996 as if the disposition of COS had occurred on July 1, 1995. The
unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain
assumptions  and estimates which the Company  believes are reasonable  under the
circumstances.  The  unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative
of the results that would have obtained had the COS disposition  occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented,  nor are they intended to be a projection of
future results. The unaudited pro forma financial  information should be read in
conjunction with the notes thereto.

CERBCO's  financial  position and results of  operations as of December 31, 1996
and for the  periods  ended June 30, 1996 and  December  31,  1996,  showing the

pro  forma  financial  information  has been  prepared  in  accordance  with the
instructions to Article 11, Regulation S-X.

2.   Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share data have been computed based upon the weighted  average
