ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On April 21,2000, the Registrant,  through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Reliable - West Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RWT"),  closed the purchase
of certain assets of Southwestern  Services,  Inc. t/a S.P.M.  Corp.  ("SPM"), a
Virginia corporation,  pursuant to an agreement dated March 31, 2000 (the "Asset
Purchase  Agreement") pursuant to which RWT agreed to purchase and SPM agreed to
sell those assets  (excluding  cash)of SPM which relate to SPM's business in the
manufacture,  processing and sale of silver anodes, silver cyanide and potassium
silver  cyanide  (the  "Purchased  Assets").  SPM is a  manufacturer  of  silver
semi-fabricated products for the industrial plating industries. RWT will use the
purchased assets to continue the business  operations of SPM with respect to the
manufacture,  processing and sale of silver anodes, silver cyanide and potassium
silver cyanide.

         At the Closing,  RWT purchased  the  Purchased  Assets for an aggregate
purchase price of $2,651,878.92 (which included the sum of $1,351,878.92 for the
purchase of those of SPM's accounts  receivable which were approved for purchase
by RWT's  lender,  Sovereign  Bank of New England)  ("Sovereign").  The purchase
price was paid as follows):  Sixty Five Thousand  Dollars($65,000)  was released
from the escrow account maintained by SPM's attorney ; Two Million Three Hundred
Sixty  One  Thousand  Eight  Hundred   Seventy  Eight  Dollars  and  Ninety  Two
Cents($2,361,878.92)  was paid at Closing by wire  transfer.  The balance of Two
Hundred  Twenty Five Thousand  Dollars  ($225,000) was paid by the execution and
delivery of an eight year, eight percent promissory note in the principal amount
of $225,000,  providing for monthly  installments of interest only for the first
two years and then  semi-annual  payments  of  principal  and  interest to fully
amortize  the  principal  balance  of the note over the six year  balance of the
term.  SPM shall also  receive a future  payment  based upon sales to certain of
SPM's customers in an amount described in the Asset Purchase  Agreement.  At the
Closing the parties  amended the Asset  Purchase  Agreement to  eliminate  RWT's
obligation to purchase SPM's metals inventory at the Closing.


         At the Closing, RWT entered into a three year employment agreement (the
"Employment  Agreement") with Allen O. Woody,  III, the President and one of the
principal shareholders of

amount of the commissions is described in the Employment
Agreement.
