This prospectus ("Prospectus") relates to the resale of (i) 9,000,000
Class D Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Class D Warrants") of
Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. (the "Company") by certain holders thereof (the

shall be collectively referred to as the "Selling Securityholders."
This prospectus also relates to the issuance by the Company of
1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, upon exercise of the Class D Warrants by the
public warrantholders thereof.
The Class D Warrants were issued in December 1996 pursuant to a
private placement of 500,000 Units of the Company's securities, each Unit
consisting of eighteen (18) Class D Warrants and one (1) share of common stock
of the Company's subsidiary, Medical Marketplace, Inc. ("Medical Marketplace")
and are exercisable over a one (1) year period commencing on March 31, 1997.
Each six (6) Class D Warrants entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of
Common Stock, at a price of $2.50 per share. The Class D Warrants are redeemable
by the Company for $.05 per Warrant, at any time after March 31, 1997, upon
thirty (30) days' prior written notice, if the average closing or bid price of
the Common Stock, as reported by the principal exchange on which the Common
Stock is traded, Nasdaq or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, as the
case may be, equals or exceeds $30.00 per share, for twenty (20) consecutive
trading days during a period of thirty (30) trading days ending within ten (10)
days prior to the date of notice of redemption, which notice shall be mailed no
later than five (5) days hereafter. See "Description of Securities" and
"Selling Securityholders."
The Class D Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Management Options may not be sold or transferred by the
Warrantholders or the Management Optionholders, as the case may be, until July
1, 1998 and June 17, 1998, respectively, without the prior written consent of
Biltmore Securities, Inc., a licensed broker-dealer and member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("Biltmore"). The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Victoria Holdings Options may be sold from time
to time after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement. Victoria
Holdings is an affiliate of Biltmore. No underwriting arrangements have been
entered into by the Selling Securityholders. The distribution of the securities
by the Selling Securityholders may be effected in one or more transactions that
may take place on the over-the-counter market including ordinary broker's
transactions, privately-negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more
dealers for resale of such shares as principals at market prices prevailing at
the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees
or commissions may be paid by the Selling Securityholders in connection with
sales of such securities.
<PAGE>
The Company anticipates applying for inclusion of the Class D Warrants
on The NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (the "Bulletin Board"). There can be
no assurance that such securities will be quoted on the Bulletin Board, and if
granted quotation, that an active trading market will develop. See "Risk
Factors - Lack of Prior Market for Class D Warrants."
The Company's Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market
("Nasdaq"). Under the rules of Nasdaq in order to qualify for continued
quotation of securities on Nasdaq, the Company, among other things, must have
either (i) $2,000,000 in assets, $1,000,000 in stockholder equity and a minimum
bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"), or alternatively,
(ii) $2,000,000 in total capital and surplus and $1,000,000 market value or
public float (the "Capital Market Value Requirement"). On January 21, 1997, the
Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company failed to satisfy the
Capital Market Value Requirement or the Minimum Bid Requirement with respect to
its shares of Common Stock. The Company was provided 90 days to comply with
either of such requirements in order to continue the listing of its Common Stock
on Nasdaq. Failure to comply would have resulted in delisting the Company's
shares of Common Stock. On March 21, 1997, the Company was informed by Nasdaq
that the Company complied with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On April 3, 1997,
the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company's shares of Common
Stock failed to meet the Capital Market Value Requirement and the Minimum Bid
Requirement. In order to continue the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq, the
Company was provided 90 days to meet the Capital Market Value Requirement or the
Minimum Bid Requirement. On May 21, 1997, the Company was informed by Nasdaq
that the Company has complied with the continued listing requirements.
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
securities by the Selling Securityholders, except for the payment of the
exercise price of the Class D Warrants, the Victoria Holdings Options and the
Management Options. All costs incurred in the registration of the securities of
the Selling Securityholders are being borne by the Company. See "Selling
Securityholders."
The Company's Common Stock, is currently listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market under the symbol "MKPL". On June 3, 1997, the closing price of the
Common Stock, as reported by Nasdaq, was $1.25.

THE COMPANY
Computer Marketplace, Inc. a California corporation, was incorporated
on July 19, 1983, as Quality Associates, Inc. and changed its name to Computer
Marketplace, Inc. in June 1987. In March 1993, Computer Marketplace changed its
name to Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. ("Computer Marketplace(R)") and its state
of incorporation from California to Delaware. Computer Marketplace(R) is
currently engaged in the national wholesale distribution of new and used
computer equipment to dealers, computer maintenance companies, leasing
companies, equipment brokers, and end-users. A majority of this equipment is
manufactured by International Business Machine Corporation ("IBM") and includes
computer peripheral equipment, upgrades and parts, particularly for AS/400, and
RISC System/6000 computer systems. Computer Marketplace(R) also sells new
computer equipment produced by IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, Compaq,
Hewlett Packard, Motorola, as well as a number of other manufacturers. Many of
the new product lines require value added services, software or hardware.
Computer Marketplace(R) has made significant investments in its employees in
order to increase their technical knowledge of the new product products, many in
the document imaging and document management areas, in order to enhance its
value added portfolio. The new product lines generally require Computer
Marketplace(R) not to remarket used equipment manufactured by the Original
Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM").
In June 1993, prior to the 2-for-1 stock split and Reverse Stock Split
mentioned above, the Company consummated its initial public offering of
2,070,000 units, each unit consisting of one (1) share of Common Stock, one (1)
Class A Warrant and one (1) Class B Warrant (the "IPO Units"). See, "Description
of Securities." The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6,594,179
from its initial public offering.

<PAGE>
In March 1994, Computer Marketplace(R) formed Medical Marketplace, Inc.
("Medical Marketplace") as a wholly owned subsidiary to engage in worldwide
distribution of used medical equipment to health care providers. In September
1994, Computer Marketplace(R) formed Marketplace Asset Recovery Services, Inc.
("MARS") as a wholly owned subsidiary to perform asset recovery assignments,
repossessions and asset verifications. The operations of MARS to date, have not
been material to the consolidated financial statements. In June 1996, management
began the process of closing down the operations of MARS. In August 1996, MARS
was renamed Marketplace Leasing, Inc., ("MLI"). Management intends to utilize
MLI for equipment leasing transactions. In January 1994, Computer Marketplace(R)
formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Superior Solutions, Inc. ("SSI") (formerly
called Computer Marketplace-SSI, Inc.), to purchase certain assets and assume
certain obligations of Synergy Solutions, Inc. and International Associated
Marketing Corporation, both located in Livonia, Michigan. These companies were
engaged principally in the development, installation and maintenance of local
and wide area networks, were Novell Platinum Authorized Resellers, and were also
selling computer hardware. On July 1, 1996, the employees of SSI began operating
as a sales and networking branch of Computer Marketplace(R). In light of the
fact that SSI had not been profitable, in June 1996, the Company discontinued
the operations of SSI. Computer Marketplace(R) and its subsidiaries are
hereinafter referred to as the "Company".
Computer Marketplace(R) purchases computer equipment from a variety of
sources and suppliers and sells or rents the equipment nationwide and in Europe
to companies ranging in size from small companies to Fortune 500 Corporations.
Computer Marketplace's operations and primary selling efforts are conducted from
its principal office in Corona, California. Computer Marketplace(R), which
maintains service and inventory storage centers at its Corona headquarters, also
has arrangements to inventory its equipment on a temporary basis at independent
service centers across the country.
Medical Marketplace buys and resells a wide variety of medical
equipment including Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI"), Computed Tomography
Scanners ("CT") and Ultrasound equipment. In addition Medical Marketplace
provides customers with consulting services related to equipment acquisition,
equipment layout and facility design. Medical Marketplace also has a small
rental program which provides new equipment and contract service with mobile MRI
and CT equipment. Medical Marketplace conducts its primary distribution
operations from its main office in Corona, California, which is shared with the
Company. It also has sales representatives in Northern California, Kansas,
Washington State and North Carolina.
In December 1996, the Company entered into a one year consulting
agreement with Victoria Holdings, Inc. ("Victoria Holdings"), an affiliate of
Biltmore Securities, Inc. ("Biltmore"). Pursuant to the consulting agreement,
Victoria Holdings agreed to assist the Company in identifying new business
partners suitable for the Company and in structuring, negotiating and
financing such transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting
agreement, the Company issued to Victoria Holdings options (the "Victoria
Holdings Options") to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock to Victoria Holdings (the "Victoria Fee Shares") upon
consummation by the
5
<PAGE>
Company of (i) an acquisition of a company (or companies) introduced to the
Company by Victoria Holdings with net assets of at least $2,500,000 or (ii) a
divestiture of the Company's assets, or a sale of a controlling interest in the
Company's capital stock, to a purchaser introduced to the Company by Victoria
Holdings resulting in net proceeds to the Company in excess of $2,000,000.
In December 1996, the Company issued to certain employees, directors
and consultants of the Company (the "Management Optionholders") options (the
"Management Options") to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock during a four (4) year period commencing on January 1,
1997 at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the "Management Options").
On December 31, 1996, the Company concluded a private placement of
500,000 Units (the "December 1996 Private Placement") which were placed by
Biltmore on a firm commitment basis. Each Unit was offered at a price of $2.00
per Unit, and consisted of one (1) share of Common Stock of Medical Marketplace,
Inc., and eighteen (18) Class D Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the
"Class D Warrants"). Each six (6) Class D Warrants are exercisable for one (1)
share of the Company's Common Stock commencing March 31, 1997 at an exercise
price of $2.50 per share for a one (1) year period.
On January 21, 1997 the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the
Company failed to satisfy the Capital Market Value Requirement and the Minimum
Bid Requirement with respect to its shares of Common Stock. The Company was
provided 90 days to comply with either of such requirements in order to continue
the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq. Failure to comply would have resulted
in delisting the Company's shares of Common Stock. On March 21, 1997, the
Company was informed by Nasdaq that the Company complied with the Minimum Bid
Requirement.
In March 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1-for-6
reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") with respect to each outstanding
share of the Company's Common Stock, such approval was contingent upon the
approval of a majority of the Company's Stockholders. The Company's Board of
Directors conducted its annual shareholder meeting on April 4, 1997 (the "Annual
Meeting") where, among other things, the Company's shareholders voted to approve
the Reverse Stock Split. At the Annual Meeting the Company's shareholders also
voted (i) to elect five (5) directors to the Board of the Company for a one (1)
year term, including, L. Wayne Kiley, Nancy Kiley, Rick C. Garian, J.R. Achten
and Thomas E. Evans, Jr. and (ii) to ratify the appointment of Moore Stephens,
P.C. as the Company's independent certified public accountant.
On April 3, 1997, the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the
Company's shares of Common Stock failed to meet the Capital Market Value
Requirement and the Minimum Bid Requirement. In order to continue the listing of
its Common Stock on Nasdaq, the Company was provided 90 days to meet the Capital
Market Value Requirement or the Minimum Bid Requirement. On May 21, 1997, the
Company was informed by Nasdaq that the Company has complied with the continued
listing requirements.

<PAGE>
In light of the fact that the Company has been unable to operate
profitably since fiscal year ended June 1994, the Company believes that
substantial measures need to be taken to address the Company's financial
difficulties. The Board of Directors, after having considered numerous
alternatives, has concluded that the Company must significantly reduce its
expenses in order to reduce the Company's net losses. Therefore, the Company has
embarked upon a cost cutting plan by reducing its workforce, closing
unprofitable locations and discontinuing under performing product lines.
Specifically, the Company (i) closed its branch offices in Livonia, Michigan,
Traverse City, Michigan and Mariposa, California and (ii) reduced the number of
employees from a high of ninety six (96) in September 1995 to twenty two (22)
full-time and six (6) part-time as of April 15, 1997. See "Business - General".
In the event that the Company determines that these measures are insufficient to
achieve profitability, the Company may reduce further its existing business or
pursue divesting the Company's computer business and/or acquiring an alternative
business. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not entered into a
definitive agreement with any third party with respect to such a transaction.
The Company's executive office is located at 1490 Railroad Street,
Corona, California. It's telephone number is (909) 735-2102.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered hereby is speculative and
involves a high degree of risk and should only be purchased by investors who can
afford to lose their entire investment. Prospective purchasers, prior to making
an investment, should carefully consider the following risks and speculative
factors, as well as others described elsewhere in this Prospectus, associated
with this offering, including the information contained in the
Financial Statements herein.
1. History of Losses; Need to Restructure. The Company incurred net losses
for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 of $1,331,431 and $1,224,709,
respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 of
$2,438,396 and $443,507, respectively. The Company's accumulated deficit as of
March 31, 1997 was $5,056,944. The Company intends to reduce its expenses
by restructuring its business which may include the sale of all or part
of the Company's business. See, "Business - General." The continuation of the
Company as a going concern is dependent on these plans. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not continue to incur net losses in the future.
The Company's cash requirements have been and will continue to be significant.
2. Availability of Funds. The Company is dependent upon the availability of
funds or sources of financing which will permit it to purchase equipment in
sufficient quantities, as it becomes available, and to do so at the lowest
possible prices. While the Company believes that it has sufficient funds to
permit the Company to acquire products in sufficient quantity during the four
(4) months following this offering, increased costs, technological advances,
availability of products, and shifting consumer demand could necessitate the
expenditure of greater sums than the Company presently anticipates. In such
event, there is no assurance that the Company will have access to such
additional funds, or that it will be able to obtain such funds in a timely
manner.
3. Dependence upon Availability of Equipment. Most of the sales by the
Company are derived from products which the Company obtains in the computer
"aftermarket." As a supplier of used equipment, the Company must constantly
identify sources for products at costs which permit the Company to resell or
lease such equipment on a competitive and profitable basis. The Company believes
that it has developed a network of product suppliers which will assure
availability of equipment. Technical advances and shifts in consumer preference
may, however, require the Company to offer additional or different products and
could render a portion of the Company's inventory unmarketable. From time to
time the Company may experience shortages in availability of some products. The
occurrence of such shortages in the future may have an adverse effect on the
business of the Company and. See "Business-Computer Products Competition" and
"Business-Medical Equipment Competition."
11
<PAGE>
4. Possible Adverse Effect on the Market of Shares Owned by Selling
Securityholders. The Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a
part covers the offering an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Victoria Holdings Options and the Management
Options. In addition, the Registration Statement includes the resale of
9,000,000 Class D Warrants and the issuance by the Company upon the exercise
thereof of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. As a result, the sale of such Class
D Warrants and Common Stock in the future may have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Company's securities in any market which may develop for
such securities.
5. Impact on Market of Warrant Exercise. In the event of the exercise of a
substantial number of the Company's Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants, Class C
Warrants or Class D Warrants, the resulting increase in the amount of Common
Stock of the Company in the trading market could substantially affect the market
price of the Common Stock. See "Description of Securities - Class A Warrants,
Class B Warrants, Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants."
6. Competition. The Company faces substantial competition in connection with
the distribution of new and used computer systems. Among its competitors are
numerous national and regional distributors of the same and equivalent products.
Many such competitors are well established, have substantially greater financial
and other resources than the Company and have established reputations for
success in the distribution and support of computer-related products. In
addition, IBM may sell directly to the Company's customers, and the Company's
continued ability to compete effectively may be affected by policies of IBM. The
Company's competitors include IBM, Comdisco, Inc., Sun Data, Inc.. and El
Camino Resources, Inc. The used medical equipment industry is relatively young
as compared to the more established computer industry. Medical Marketplace's
competitors include General Electric Corporation, Siemens and Access Medical.
There can be no assurance that the Company or Medical Marketplace will be able
to compete successfully or that they will maintain profitability. See "Business
- - Computer Products Competition and "Business - Medical Equipment Competition."
7. Attraction and Retention of Sales and Marketing Personnel. The Company's
and Medical Marketplace's ability to expand its operations will depend in
significant part on its ability to attract and retain qualified sales
representatives experienced in the purchase and sale of new and used computer
systems and parts and medical equipment. There is significant demand for such
individuals and, accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company or Medical
Marketplace will be able to hire or retain qualified representatives when
needed. All of the Company's and Medical Marketplace's existing sales personnel
are on multiple-year employment contracts with the Company or Medical
Marketplace and all new sales personnel must sign a three-year employment
contract as a condition of employment. All of the existing sales personnel have
been developed and trained within the Company. See "Business-Computer Products
Sales and Marketing" and "Business-Medical Equipment Sales and Marketing."
8. Uncertainty of Proposed Sale or Purchase of Business. In the
event that the Company determines that certain cost cutting measures are
insufficient to achieve profitability, the Company
12
<PAGE>
may pursue divesting the Company's computer business, and/or acquiring an
alternative business. The Company has identified several companies engaged in
complementary businesses, but has not reached a definitive agreement to sell to
or acquire any such companies. The Company can make no assurances that it will
be able to divest its computer business or acquire any alternative business. See
"Business - General."
9. Technological Obsolescence. The computer equipment industries have been
characterized in recent years by significant and rapid technological advances.
Changes in systems and components may require the Company to liquidate its
inventory of certain products at significant markdowns or replace such products
with new or products on a continual basis, which may result in losses.
10. Dependence Upon Key Personnel. The success of the business of the Company
is largely dependent upon the active participation of L. Wayne Kiley, its
President and Chief Executive Officer. In the event that the services of Mr.
Kiley are lost for any reason whatsoever, the business operations of the Company
and Medical Marketplace may be adversely affected. In October 1992, Mr. Kiley
entered into a five (5) year employment agreement with the Company and in
October 1996, the Company extended such Employment Agreement for two years. See
"Management," "Executive Compensation," and "Certain Relationships and
Transactions." The Company has obtained a key-man life insurance policy on its
President in the amount of $1 million, with the Company as beneficiary.
11. Dilution. Upon the exercise of 2,000,000 Options for 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, the net tangible book value per share of the Company's Common
Stock will be $4,776,677, representing an immediate dilution of approximately
$.63 per share or 31% per share and an immediate increase of $.42 per share or
42% per share to the purchasers of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
of the Options.
12. Control by Principal Stockholders. The Company's current principal
stockholders beneficially own approximately 53.2 percent of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, the current principal stockholders will
be able to elect all of the Company's directors, and generally direct the
affairs of the Company. See "Management," "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" "Principal Stockholders" and "Description of Securities - Common
Stock."
13. Rule 144 Sales; Future Sales of Common Stock. There are currently 356,001
shares of the Company's Common Stock currently outstanding which may be deemed
"restricted securities" as that term is defined by Rule 144 of the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") and, in the future, may be sold in compliance with Rule
144 of the Act. Ordinarily, under Rule 144, a person who is an affiliate of the
Company (as that term is defined in Rule 144) and has beneficially owned
restricted securities for a period of one (1) year may, every three (3) months,
sell in brokerage transactions an amount that does not exceed the greater of (i)
1% of the outstanding class of such securities or (ii) the average weekly
trading volume of trading in such securities on all national exchanges and/or
reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities
association during the four (4) weeks prior to the filing of a notice of sale by
a securities holder. A person who is not an affiliate
13
<PAGE>
of the Company who beneficially owns restricted securities is also subject to
the foregoing volume limitations but may, after the expiration of two (2) years,
sell unlimited amounts of such securities under certain circumstances. Possible
or actual sales of the Company's outstanding Common Stock by certain of the
present stockholders under Rule 144 may, in the future, have a depressive effect
on the price of the Company's Common Stock.
14. Lack of Prior Market for the Class D Warrants. Following this offering,
there may be no public trading market for the Class D Warrants. There can be
no assurance that a public trading market for the Class D Warrants will develop
or that a public trading market, if developed, will be sustained. No assurance
can be given that the Company's Class D Warrants will be quoted on The NASD
OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (the "Bulletin Board") or any other trading market
or exchange. If such securities are not listed on the Bulletin Board or a
public trading market does not develop, purchasers of such securities may have
difficulty in selling their securities should they desire to do so.
15. Possible Delisting of Securities from Nasdaq; "Penny Stock" Regulations.
The Company's Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market
("Nasdaq"). Under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("NASD"), in order to qualify for continued listing (the "Listing
Requirements") on Nasdaq, the Company, among other things, must have total
assets of at least $2,000,000, $1,000,000 of stockholders equity and a minimum
bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"), or alternatively,
$2,000,000 in total capital and surplus and $1,000,000 market value or public
float (the "Capital Market Value Requirement"). In the event the Company is
unable to satisfy any one of the Listing Requirements and, as a result, is
delisted from Nasdaq, trading in the Company's Common Stock, if any, would be
conducted in the over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the
"pink sheets" or on the NASD electronic bulletin board. As a result, an investor
may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the
price of the securities offered hereby. The Commission has adopted regulations
which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market
price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company's Class D Warrants
(because they are not listed on Nasdaq) and the Company's Common Stock, if the
shares of Common Stock are removed from Nasdaq, may become subject to rules
that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell
such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income
exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions
covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the
purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock unless exempt, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule
prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the
broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this
fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly
statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock
held
14
<PAGE>
in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers
to sell the Company's securities and may affect the ability of purchasers in the
offering to sell the Company's securities in the secondary market. On January
21, 1997 the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company failed to
satisfy the Capital Market Value Requirement and the Minimum Bid Requirement
with respect to its shares of Common Stock. The Company was provided 90 days to
comply with either of such requirements in order to continue the listing of its
Common Stock on Nasdaq. Failure to comply would have resulted in delisting the
Company's shares of Common Stock. On March 21, 1997, the Company was informed by
Nasdaq that the Company complied with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On April 3,
1997 the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company's shares of Common
Stock failed to meet the Capital Market Value Requirement and the Minimum Bid
Requirement. In order to continue the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq, the
Company, was provided 90 days to meet the Capital Market Value Requirement or
the Minimum Bid Requirement. On May 21, 1997, the Company was advised that it
was in compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements. Although the
Company believes it is in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, it should
be noted that, Nasdaq filed in early March 1997, with the SEC, proposed rule
changes to the maintenance standards required by Nasdaq. Upon SEC approval the
Company would have six (6) months to meet the new maintenance standards. Under
the proposed new standards for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market
the Company will have to have net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or net income
of $500,000 in two of the last three years or a market capitalization of at
least $35,000,000. If the proposed rule changes are approved by the SEC and
adopted by Nasdaq, it is unlikely that the Company would be able to comply with
such new standards.
16. Limited Number of Management Personnel. There are currently only three
(3) executive officers of the Company. Following this offering, there can be no
assurance that, if the Company grows, the current management team will be able
to continue to properly manage the Company's affairs. Further, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to identify additional qualified
managers on terms economically feasible to the Company.
17. Future Issuances of Stock by the Company. The Company has outstanding
1,352,424 shares of Common Stock out of a total of 50,000,000 shares of Common
Stock authorized. The remaining shares of Common Stock not issued or reserved
for specific purposes may be issued without any action or approval of the
Company's shareholders. Although there are no present plans, agreements or
undertakings involving the issuance of such shares, except as disclosed in this
Prospectus, any such issuance could be used as a method of discouraging,
delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company or could dilute the
public ownership of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will
not undertake to issue such shares if it deems it appropriate to do so. Pursuant
to a consulting agreement dated December 9, 1996 between the Company and
Victoria Holdings, Inc. (the "Consulting Agreement"), the Company has agreed to
issue 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Victoria Holdings, Inc. upon (i) the
acquisition of one or more businesses introduced to the Company by Victoria
Holdings, Inc. which in the aggregate have net assets of not less than
$2,500,000, or (ii) the divestiture of assets outside the ordinary course of
business, or the sale of a majority of the Company's capital stock outside the
ordinary course of
15
<PAGE>
business, by merger or otherwise, to a purchaser introduced to the Company by
Victoria Holdings, Inc. resulting in net proceeds to the Company of not less
than $2,000,000 in cash or stock. See "Risk Factors - Outstanding Warrants and
Options."
18. Trademark Protection. Although the Company has obtained a registered
trademark for the AcceleRAIDer(R) and a service mark for Computer Marketplace(R)
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO") and intends to
register any new trademarks developed by the Company with the PTO, there can be
no assurance as to the breadth or degree of protection which such existing or
future trademarks may afford the Company from competitors.
19. Outstanding Warrants and Options. As of June 3, 1997, the Company had
outstanding (i) 2,180,000 Class A Warrants, (ii) 2,180,000 Class B Warrants,
(iii) 220,000 Class C Warrants and (iv) an aggregate of 307,500 options held by
management and certain employees (the "Options"). Each six (6) Class A Warrants,
six (6) Class B Warrants and six (6) Class C Warrants are exercisable to acquire
two shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $28.50, $33.00, and $93.00,
respectively. The Options are exercisable at prices ranging from $1.6875 to
$6.00. In addition, the Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
for issuance upon exercise of options under the Company's 1995 Stock Plan. In
December 1996, the Company issued to certain members of management options to
purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock during a
four (4) year period commencing on January 1, 1997 at an exercise price of $1.00
per share (the "Management Options"). In exchange for the issuance of the
Management Options, certain option holders surrendered for cancellation an
aggregate of 238,833 options issued in June 1996 for 716,667 of the Management
Options. Also, in December 1996, the Company issued to Victoria Holdings, an
option pursuant to the Consulting Agreement by and between Victoria Holdings and
the Company to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price
of $1.00 per share. If the Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants, Class C Warrants,
Class D Warrants or any of the options are exercised, current stockholders will
be substantially diluted. See "Certain Transactions."
20. Current Prospectus and State Blue Sky Registration in Connection with the
Exercise of the Warrants. The Company will be able to issue shares of Common
Stock underlying the Class A, the Class B, the Class C Warrants, the Class D
Warrants and outstanding options only if (i) there is a current prospectus
relating to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants under
an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and (ii) such Common Stock is then qualified for sale or exempt
therefrom under applicable state securities laws of the jurisdictions in which
the various holders of Warrants reside. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will be successful in maintaining a current registration statement.
After a registration statement becomes effective, it may require updating by the
filing of a post-effective amendment. A post-effective amendment is required (i)
anytime after nine months subsequent to the Effective Date when any information
contained in the prospectus is over sixteen months old (e.g., the date of the
audited financial statements), (ii) when facts or events have occurred which
represent a fundamental change in the information contained in the registration
statement, or (iii) when any material change occurs in the information relating
to the plan of distribution of the
16
<PAGE>
securities registered by such registration statement. The Company anticipates
that this Registration Statement will remain effective for at least nine (9)
months following the date of this Prospectus or until March 25, 1998. The
Company intends to qualify the resale of the Class D Warrants and shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Victoria Holdings Options and
Management Options in a limited number of states, although certain exemptions
under certain state securities ("blue sky") laws may permit the Class D Warrants
to be transferred to purchasers in states other than those in which Warrants
were initially qualified. The Company will be prevented, however, from issuing
Common Stock upon exercise of the Class D Warrants in those states where
exemptions are unavailable and the Company has failed to qualify the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D Warrants. The Company may decide not
to seek, or may not be able to obtain, qualification of the issuance of such
Common Stock in all of the states in which the ultimate purchasers of the Class
D Warrants reside. In such a case, the Class D Warrants of those purchasers will
expire and have no value if such Class D Warrants cannot be exercised or sold.
Accordingly, the market for the Class D Warrants may be limited because of the
Company's obligation to fulfill both of the foregoing requirements. See
"Description of Securities."
21. No Dividends. The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common
Stock since its inception and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable future and is restricted by its revolving credit
agreement to pay cash dividends. Any earnings which the Company may realize in
the foreseeable future will be retained to finance the growth of the Company.
See "Dividend Policy."
22. Limitation on Director Liability. As permitted by Delaware Corporation
law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of
Directors to the Company or its stockholders to monetary damages for breach of a
Director's fiduciary duty except for liability in certain instances. As a result
of the Company's charter provision and Delaware law, stockholders may have a
more limited right to recover against Directors for breach of their fiduciary
duty other than as existed prior to the enactment of the law. See "Description
of Securities - Limitation on Liability of Directors."
23. Redemption of Redeemable Warrants. The Class D Warrants are subject to
redemption by the Company, at any time, commencing March 31, 1997 at a price of
$.05 per Warrant if the closing bid price for the Common Stock equals or exceeds
$30.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within a period of thirty (30)
consecutive trading days ending within ten (10) days prior to the date of the
notice of redemption. In the event that the Warrants are called for redemption
by the Company, Warrantholders will have thirty (30) days during which they may
exercise their rights to purchase shares of Common Stock. If holders of the
Warrants elect not to exercise them upon notice of redemption thereof, and the
Warrants are subsequently redeemed prior to exercise, the holders thereof would
lose the benefit of the difference between the market price of the underlying
Common Stock as of such date and the exercise price of such Warrants, as well as
any possible future price appreciation in the Common Stock. The Company does not
intend to redeem the Class D Warrants at a time when a current prospectus is not
in effect. As a result of an exercise of the Warrants, existing stockholders
would be diluted and the market price of the Common Stock may
17
<PAGE>
be adversely affected. If a Warrantholder fails to exercise his rights under the
Warrants prior to the date set for redemption, the Warrantholder will be
entitled to receive only the redemption price, or $.05 per Warrant. In addition,
the Warrants may only be exercised when a Prospectus is current and meets the
requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933. See "Description of
Securities - Class D Warrants."
24. Anti-Takeover Effect of General Corporation Law of Delaware. The
Company is governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation
Law of Delaware, an anti-takeover law enacted in 1988. As a result of Section
203, potential acquirors of the Company may be discouraged from attempting to
effect acquisition transactions with the Company, thereby possibly depriving
holders of the Company's securities of certain opportunities to sell or
otherwise dispose of such securities at above market prices pursuant to such
transactions. See "Description of Securities."
18
<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale of the securities
offered hereby. An aggregate of $5,993,000 will be received by the Company in
the event that all of the Class D Warrants, Victoria Holdings Options and
Management Options are exercised. The proceeds received by the Company from the
exercise of all or a portion of such securities will be utilized by the Company
to supplement its working capital, or in the event that the Company enters into
a transaction to acquire an alternative business, then all or a portion of such
proceeds will be utilized to acquire and/or integrate such alternative business
with the Company's business.
19
<PAGE>
DILUTION
At March 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding an aggregate of
1,352,424 shares of Common Stock having an aggregate net tangible book value of
$2,776,677 or $2.05 per share. Net tangible book value per share consists of
total assets less intangible assets and liabilities, divided by the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The shares of capital stock
described above do not include any securities subject to any outstanding
warrants or options.
After giving effect to the exercise of 2,000,000 Options for 2,000,000
shares of Common Stock, the pro forma net tangible book value of the Common
Stock at March 31, 1997 would have been $4,776,677 or approximately $1.42 per
share. This represents an immediate decrease in pro forma net tangible book
value of $.63 per share or 31% to the present shareholders and an immediate
increase of $.42 per share or 42% to the purchasers of the shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of the Options. These figures do not reflect the shares
of Common Stock underlying the Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants, the Class C
Warrants or the Class D Warrants or any other outstanding options or warrants.
"Dilution" means the difference between the exercise price paid by the certain
optionholders and the pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving
effect to the exercise of the Options included in the offering. Holders of
Common Stock may be subjected to additional dilution if (i) the Class A Warrants
are exercised, (ii) the Class B Warrants are exercised, (iii) Class C Warrants
are exercised, (iv) the Class D Warrants are exercised or (v) any additional
securities are issued as compensation or to raise additional financing. The
following table illustrates the benefit which investors purchasing shares of
Common Stock underlying options registered in this offering will incur and the
dilution to current stockholders as a result of this offering:
Exercise price per Share ......................... $1.00
Net tangible book value per share
before offering .................................. $2.05
Dilution per share attributable to
options exercised hereby ......................... $ .63

DIVIDEND POLICY
Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to dividends when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefore. The Company has not in the past and does not currently anticipate the
declaration or payment of any dividends in the foreseeable future and is
restricted by its revolving credit agreement to pay cash dividends. The Company
intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of
its business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the
Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, the
Company's financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions
and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends of
any kind will ever be paid.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
prospectus.
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996.
Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, were
$19,557,647 compared to $23,737,114 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.
This represents a decrease of $4,179,467 or 18%.
Revenues from computer product sales and rentals for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 totaled $13,954,875, and $7,170,285 or 34% decrease
compared to $21,125,160 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The sales
decrease is reflective of a general industry sales decrease which results in
part from price reductions in new computer hardware which negatively impacts
selling prices and sales of used computer hardware. The Company anticipates the
lower computer products sales trend to continue into the next fiscal year.
Medical product sales and rentals contributed $5,602,772 in revenues
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $2,611,954 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996. The current nine month's result represents a
$2,990,818 or 115% increase in revenues over the same period in 1996.
Continuing investments by Medical Marketplace, Inc. in experienced sales
representatives and technical staff, as well as a growing recognition within the
industry as an established reseller of previously owned and upgraded magnetic
resonance imaging, computed tomograph scanner and ultrasound equipment have
positively impacted the sales of this subsidiary. Continued growth and sustained
profitability for this subsidiary are expected into the next fiscal year.
Previously owned medical equipment is gaining acceptance in the health
care community as a cost effective alternative to new equipment. The Company
believes that its field representative program, financial strength and support
structure will provide Medical Marketplace, Inc. a distinct advantage over many
of the subsidiary's competitors.
Total aggregate cost of revenues for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 were $17,201,269 or 88% of revenues and $20,002,889 or
84% of revenues, respectively. The higher cost of revenues percentage in the
current nine months is reflective of the reduced operating leverage resulting
from lower product sales and the Company's focus on liquidating older inventory
which has a lower profit margin. Cost of revenue percentages are expected to
remain relatively stable during the next fiscal year with small decreases
anticipated. Factors which will favorably reduce the cost of revenues percentage
include; a Company focus toward higher margin transactions through
24
<PAGE>
a focus on the Company's end user customer base, a change in computer sales
representative compensation plans which includes a substantially higher base
salary and less of a commission component than prior periods and the positive
effect that higher margin medical equipment sales will have on the consolidated
percentage.
Cost of revenues for computer products were $12,629,457 or 91% of
revenues and $17,913,905 or 85% of revenues for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The higher cost of revenues percentage
in the current nine months is reflective of the reduced operating leverage
resulting from lower computer product sales and the Company's focus on
liquidating older inventory which has a lower profit margin.
Costs of revenues for medical products were $4,571,812 or 82% of
revenues and $2,088,984 or 80% of revenues for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Total selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were $4,505,810 or 23% of
revenues and $3,943,243 or 17% of revenues, respectively. The aggregate
increase in SG&A expenses from the prior period was $562,567 or 14%. The
increase in SG&A expenses was negatively impacted by the increase in Medical
Marketplace, Inc. personnel expense, the change in computer sales
representative compensation plans mentioned above, write-offs of certain assets
relating to the closing of the Livonia, Michigan branch office, increased
reserves against accounts receivable and inventory, as well as charges relating
to the December 1996 Private Placement. These increases were partially offset by
personnel cutbacks during the current nine months.
SG&A expenses attributed to computer products were $3,892,064 or
28% of revenues and $3,607,918 or 17% of revenues for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses as a
percentage of revenues is due primarily to the sales volume decrease previously
mentioned, write-offs of certain assets relating to the closing of the Livonia,
Michigan branch office, increased reserves against accounts receivable and
inventory, as well as charges relating to the December 1996 Private Placement.
SG&A expense attributed to medical products were $613,746 or 11% of
revenues and $335,325 or 13% of revenues for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Total operating loss was $2,149,432 and $209,018 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This $1,940,414
unfavorable change was due to a combination of factors including: a decline in
computer product revenues, the delayed impact of additional cost reductions
during the nine months, and lower margin sales associated with the Company's
inventory reduction program.
Operating loss for computer products was $2,566,646 and $396,663
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
25
<PAGE>
Operating income for medical products was $417,214 and $187,645
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, was
$301,033 compared to $277,655 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.
Management anticipates that interest expense will remain stable during the
current fiscal year over similar periods in the prior year, with small decreases
possible.
The Company's consolidated net loss was $2,438,396 or $1.80 per share
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, versus $443,507 or $0.33 per
share for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The net loss was a result
of the business conditions described herein.
Year Ended June 30, 1996 compared to Year Ended June 30, 1995
Total revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996 were $30,000,952
compared to $31,524,365 for the year ended June 30, 1995. This represents a
decrease of $1,523,413 or 5%. Revenues from product sales for the year ended
June 30, 1996 totaled $28,370,434 $1,782,030 or 6% decrease compared to
$30,152,464 for the year ended June 30, 1995. Revenues from rental, service and
other for the year ended June 30, 1996, were $1,630,518, a $258,617 or 19%
increase compared to $1,371,901 for the year ended June 30, 1995.
Superior Solutions, Inc., contributed approximately $1,592,000 in
revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996 compared with approximately $2,499,000
for the year ended June 30, 1995. Superior Solutions, Inc.'s performance was
disappointing and it appears that this below-standard performance will continue
into the next fiscal year. In late January 1996, the local manager of the
subsidiary was replaced. In addition, certain employees, including an
experienced sales representative, resigned. Computer Marketplace, Inc., has
implemented a strategy to more fully integrate Superior Solutions, Inc.'s
networking and sales operations and networking products lines into its
California based networking and sales operations. This integration has resulted,
effective July 1, 1996, in these operations becoming a branch of Computer
Marketplace rather than remaining a separate legal entity.
Medical Marketplace, Inc. contributed approximately $2,880,000 in
revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996, compared to approximately $601,000
for the year ended June 30, 1995. Continuing investments made by Medical
Marketplace, Inc. in experienced sales representatives and technical staff, as
well as a growing recognition within the industry as an established reseller of
previously owned and upgraded magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography
scanner and ultrasound equipment have positively impacted the sales of this
subsidiary. Continued revenue growth and sustained profitability for this
subsidiary are expected into the next fiscal year.
The Company believes that the rapid technological advances in computer
products enhance its market. Many companies purchase used equipment at
significant discounts from new equipment to handle most of their computing
needs, as most applications do not require the latest technology available.
26
<PAGE>
Previously owned medical equipment is just beginning to gain acceptance
in the health care community as a cost effective alternative to new equipment.
The Company believes that its field representative program, financial strength
and support structure will provide Medical Marketplace, Inc. a distinct
advantage over many of the subsidiary's competitors.
Aggregate cost of revenues for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
were $25,386,732 or 85% of revenues and $26,669,092 or 85% of revenues,
respectively. Cost of revenue percentages are expected to remain relatively
stable during the next fiscal year with small decreases anticipated. Factors
which will favorably reduce the cost of revenues percentage include; a company
focus toward higher margin transactions through a focus on our end user customer
base, a change in computer sales representative compensation plans which
includes a substantially higher base salary and less of a commission component
than prior periods and the positive effect that higher margin medical equipment
sales has on the consolidated percentage.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the years
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $5,601,670 or 19% of revenues and $5,827,722
or 18% of revenues, respectively. The aggregate decrease in SG&A expenses from
the prior period was $226,052 or 4%. The decrease in SG&A expenses is attributed
to cost reduction efforts which were partly offset by increases in costs
associated with the expanded operations of Medical Marketplace, Inc. and the
change in computer sales representative compensation plans mentioned above. SG&A
expenses attributed to Medical Marketplace, Inc. were approximately, $472,000
and $254,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Operating loss was $987,450 and $972,449 for the years ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively. This $15,001 or 2% unfavorable change was due
primarily to losses incurred in the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996.
Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1996, was $371,728
compared to $207,281 for the year ended June 30, 1995. Management anticipates
that interest expense will remain stable in the next fiscal year. Decreases in
interest expense are possible depending on the success of selling the Company's
headquarters facility and the success in raising additional money through a
private placement.
The Company's net loss was $1,331,431 or $.98 per share for the year
ended June 30, 1996, versus $1,224,709 or $.91 per share for the year ended June
30, 1995. The net loss was a result of the business conditions described herein.
Variability of Periodic Results and Seasonality
Results from any one period cannot be used to predict the results for
other fiscal periods. Revenues fluctuate from period to period; however,
management does not see any seasonality or predictability to these fluctuations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has historically financed its growth and cash needs
primarily through borrowings and cash generated from operations. The funds
received through the initial public offering in June 1993, in the amount of
approximately $6.6 million, enabled the Company to eliminate most of its
long-term debt at that time. Working capital at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$1,612,072 and $3,424,823, respectively.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the Company used the
June 30, 1996 available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $595,000, the
availability of borrowing under the Company's revolving Credit Facility, vendor
extended credit and approximately $1,111,000 of reductions in the Company's
inventory levels in order to fund the operations of the Company.
Management has continued to emphasize an inventory reduction program
encompassing both the stored inventory, as well as the inventory on short-term
rental contracts. The effects of this program are clearly reflected in this
quarter. Management believes this disciplined strategic reduction will
enhance the Company's operating effectiveness, provide additional liquidity, and
reduce the exposure to negative inventory valuation adjustments caused by
changing market conditions. Certain temporary increases in inventory amounts
are due to selected purchases made by the Company which are intended to be sold
quickly. Additional inventory increases are expected relating to Medical
Marketplace, Inc.'s growth.
In addition, management intends to investigate alternative financing
options to be utilized for our foreign customers in order to enhance the
opportunities for the Company's medical equipment subsidiary's growth. The
Company has delayed implementation of these financing options as the medical
equipment subsidiary has been focused on domestic sales. In addition, the
Company has listed for sale two properties located in Corona, California.
Management intends to use the additional funding and proceeds from the building
sales in order to pay down related long-term debt and borrowings on the
revolving credit facility in addition to significantly growing the business of
our medical equipment subsidiary.
During the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company used the June 30, 1995
available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $748,000 and the
availability of borrowing under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility in order
to fund the operations of the Company. Investments made by the Company include
improvements to its facilities of approximately $123,000, the purchase of mobile
medical equipment to be used for rental of approximately $114,000 and
investments of approximately $150,000 for other equipment.
In October 1996, the Company amended its employment agreement with L.
Wayne Kiley, the Company's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive
Officer. Pursuant to such amendment, (i) the employment agreement's expiration
date of October 16, 1997 was extended to October 16, 1999, (ii) Mr. Kiley was
granted the right to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock for a period of
four (4) years, at a price equal to seventy five percent (75%) of the closing
bid
28
<PAGE>
price of the Company's shares of Common Stock on the date of grant equal to
2.5%, 3% and 3.5% of the shares outstanding, should the Company report annual
earnings before the payment of interest and taxes of $635,000, $875,000 and
$1,000,000, respectively, (iii) Mr. Kiley will be paid a cash bonus equal to 5%
of any profit realized by the Company from the sale of assets outside the
ordinary course of business, and (iv) an insurance policy covering the life of
Mr. Kiley whereby Mr. Kiley's estate will be paid $2,000,000 in exchange for the
redemption of the shares of the Company's capital stock beneficially owned by
Mr. Kiley. The employment agreement contains other customary terms and
conditions including termination for cause, non-competition and confidentiality
provisions.
In December 1996, the Company entered into a one year consulting
agreement with Victoria Holdings, Inc. ("Victoria Holdings"), an affiliate of
Biltmore Securities, Inc. ("Biltmore"). Pursuant to the consulting agreement,
Victoria Holdings agreed to assist the Company in identifying new business
partners suitable for the Company and in structuring, negotiating and financing
such transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, the
Company issued to Victoria Holdings options (the "Victoria Holdings
Options") to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$1.00 per share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock to Victoria Holdings (the "Victoria Fee Shares") upon consummation
by the Company of (i) an acquisition of a company (or companies) introduced to
the Company by Victoria Holdings with net assets of at least $2,500,000 or (ii)
a divestiture of the Company's assets, or a sale of a controlling interest
in the Company's capital stock, to a purchaser introduced to the Company by
Victoria Holdings resulting in net proceeds to the Company in excess of
$2,000,000.
In December 1996, the Company issued to certain employees, officers and
directors options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock during a four (4) year period commencing on January 1, 1997 at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share (the "Management Options"). In exchange for
the issuance of certain of the Management Options, certain option holders
surrendered for cancellation an aggregate of 242,500 options previously issued
in June 1996 for 722,500 of the Management Options.
On December 31, 1996 the Company concluded a private placement of
500,000 Units (the "December 1996 Private Placement") which were placed by
Biltmore Securities, Inc., a broker-dealer and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("Biltmore"), on a firm commitment basis. Each
Unit was offered at a price of $2.00 per Unit, and consisted of one (1) share of
Common Stock of Medical Marketplace, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and
eighteen (18) Class D Redeemable Common Stock Warrants (the "Class D Warrants").
Each six (6) Class D Warrants are currently exercisable for one (1) share of
the Company's Common Stock commencing March 31, 1997 at an exercise price of
$2.50 per share for a one (1) year period. The Company intends to use the
proceeds from the December 1996 Private Placement to expand the business of
Medical Marketplace, repay advances made by the Company to Medical Marketplace,
and for working capital purposes. Prior to the December 1996 Private Placement,
Medical Marketplace issued options to certain key employees to purchase an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Medical Marketplace Common Stock at $.80 per
share.
29

The Company, its officers, directors and employees and holders of 5% or
more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have agreed not to sell, pledge,
transfer or hypothecate any shares of Common Stock of the Company or any
securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of
Common Stock of the Company for a period of eighteen (18) months from December
31, 1996 without Biltmore's prior consent.
The Company cautions readers that there can be no assurance that actual
results or business conditions will not differ materially from those projected
or suggested in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's securities commenced trading on The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market system upon the effectiveness of the Company's Initial Public Offering on
June 22, 1993. The Initial Public Offering consisted of 2,070,000 Units, each
Unit consisting of one (1) share of Common Stock, one (1) Class A Redeemable
Common Stock Purchase Warrant and one (1) Class B Redeemable Common Stock
Purchase Warrant (without giving effect to the stock split or the Reverse Stock
Split mentioned above). Effective June 22, 1993, the Common Stock, the Class A
Warrants and the Class B Warrants comprising the Units were separated and began
trading under the symbols "MKPL" and "MKPLW" and "MKPLZ", respectively. The
Units began trading under the symbol "MKPLU". The Common Stock is regularly
quoted and traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market system. On the close of
business on May 10, 1994, at the request of the Company, the Units were
delisted. The Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants were delisted from The
Nasdaq SmallCap Market as of the close of business on December 18, 1996. As of
February 10, 1997, there were approximately 57 holders of record of the
Company's common stock and approximately 1,300 beneficial owners.
In March 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one
stock split (the "Stock Split") with respect to each outstanding share of the
Company's Common Stock, such approval to be contingent upon the approval of a
majority of the stockholders of an increase of the Company's Common Stock from
15,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. In March 1994, stockholders representing
a majority of the shares outstanding approved by written consent in lieu of a
special meeting of stockholders an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock. In May
1994, the Company distributed to its stockholders an Information Statement
summarizing these transactions. On June 6, 1994, each holder of an outstanding
share of the Company's common stock received an additional share of Common Stock
as a result of the Stock Split. In March 1997, the Company's Board of Directors
approved the Reverse Stock Split which was subsequently approved by the
Company's shareholders on April 4, 1997 and became effective on April 17, 1997.
All price per share references contained herein reflect the consummation of the
Stock Split, but not the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split.
The following table indicates the high and low bid prices for the
Company's, Common Stock, the Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants for each
of the quarters in the period from July 1, 1995, through March 31, 1997, based
upon information supplied by the Nasdaq system. Prices represent quotations

On May 14, 1997, the closing bid prices of the Common Stock, as
reported on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market System was $1.25 (which gives effect to
the Reverse Stock Split). As of February 10, 1997 there were approximately 1,300
beneficial owners and 57 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock.
The Company's Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market
("Nasdaq"). Under the rules of Nasdaq in order to qualify for continued
quotation of securities on Nasdaq, the Company, among other things, must have
either (i) $2,000,000 in assets, $1,000,000 in stockholder equity and a minimum
bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Requirement") or alternatively
(ii) $2,000,000 in total capital and surplus, and $1,000,000 in market value of
public float (the "Capital Market Value Requirement"). On January 21, 1997, the
Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company failed to satisfy the
Capital Market Value Requirement and the Minimum Bid Requirement with respect to
its shares of Common Stock. The Company was then
32
<PAGE>
provided 90 days to comply with either of such requirements in order to continue
the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq. Failure to do so would have resulted
in delisting the Company's shares of Common Stock. On March 21, 1997 the Company
was informed by Nasdaq that the Company complied with the Minimum Bid
Requirement. On April 3, 1997 the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the
Company's shares of Common Stock failed to meet the Capital Market Value
Requirement and the Minimum Bid Requirement. In order to continue the listing of
its Common Stock on Nasdaq, the Company, was provided 90 days to meet the
Capital Market Value Requirement or the Minimum Bid Requirement. On May 21,
1997, the Company was advised by the staff of Nasdaq that it is in compliance
with the continued listing requirements. It should be noted that, Nasdaq filed
in early March 1997, with the SEC, proposed rule changes to the maintenance
standards required by Nasdaq. Upon SEC approval the Company would have six (6)
months to meet the new maintenance standards. Under the proposed new standards
for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market the Company would have to
maintain net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or net income of $500,000 in two of
the last three years or a market capitalization of at least $35,000,000. If the
proposed rule changes are approved by the SEC and adopted by Nasdaq, it is
unlikely that the Company would be able to comply with such new standards.
Computer Marketplace has no dividend policy, is restricted by its
revolving credit agreement to pay cash dividends, and does not intend to pay any
dividends in the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS
General
Computer Marketplace, Inc. a California corporation, was incorporated
on July 19, 1983, as Quality Associates, Inc. and changed its name to Computer
Marketplace, Inc. in June 1987. In March 1993, Computer Marketplace changed its
name to Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. ("Computer Marketplace(R)") and its state
of incorporation from California to Delaware, Computer Marketplace(R) is
currently engaged in the national wholesale distribution of new and used
computer equipment to dealers, computer maintenance companies, leasing
companies, equipment brokers, and end-users. A majority of this equipment is
manufactured by International Business Machine Corporation ("IBM") and includes
computer peripheral equipment, upgrades and parts, particularly for AS/400, and
RISC System/6000 computer systems. Computer Marketplace(R) also sells new
computer equipment produced by IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, Compaq,
Hewlett Packard, Motorola, as well as a number of other manufacturers. Many of
the new product lines require value added services, software or hardware.
Computer Marketplace(R) has made significant investments in its employees in
order to increase their technical knowledge of the new product lines and
Computer Marketplace(R) has attracted various value added software products,
many in the document imaging and document management areas, in order to enhance
its value added portfolio. The new product lines generally require Computer
Marketplace(R) not to remarket used equipment manufactured by the Original
Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM").
In June 1993, prior to the 2-for-1 stock split and the Reverse Stock
Split mentioned above, the Company consummated its initial public offering of
2,070,000 units, each unit consisting of one (1) share of Common Stock, one (1)
Class A Warrant and one (1) Class B Warrant (the "IPO Units"). See "Description
of Securities." The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6,594,179
from its initial public offering.
In March of 1994, Computer Marketplace(R) formed Medical Marketplace,
Inc. ("Medical Marketplace") as a wholly owned subsidiary to engage in worldwide
distribution of used medical equipment to health care providers. In September
1994, Computer Marketplace(R) formed Marketplace Asset Recovery Services, Inc.
("MARS") as a wholly owned subsidiary to perform asset recovery assignments,
repossessions and asset verifications. The operations of MARS to date, have not
been material to the consolidated financial statements. In June 1996, management
began the process of closing down the operations of MARS. In August 1996, MARS
was renamed Marketplace Leasing, Inc., ("MLI"). Management intends to utilize
MLI for equipment leasing transactions. In January 1994, Computer Marketplace(R)
formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Superior Solutions, Inc. ("SSI") (formerly
called Computer Marketplace-SSI, Inc.), to purchase certain assets and assume
certain obligations of Synergy Solutions, Inc. and International Associated
Marketing Corporation, both located in Livonia, Michigan. These companies were
engaged principally in the development, installation and maintenance of local
and wide area networks, were Novell Platinum Authorized Resellers, and were also
selling computer hardware. On July 1, 1996,
34
<PAGE>
the employees of SSI began operating as a sales and networking branch of
Computer Marketplace(R). The distinct business operations of SSI., will be
gradually phased down as its operations are fully integrated into Computer
Marketplace(R). In June 1996, the Company discontinued the operation of SSI.
Computer Marketplace(R) and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the
"Company".
Computer Marketplace(R) purchases computer equipment from a variety of
sources and suppliers and sells or rents the equipment nationwide and in Europe
to companies ranging in size from small companies to Fortune 500 corporations.
Computer Marketplace's operations and primary selling efforts are conducted from
its principal office in Corona, California. Computer Marketplace(R), which
maintains a service and inventory storage center at its Corona headquarters,
also has arrangements to inventory its equipment on a temporary basis at
independent service centers across the country.
Medical Marketplace buys and resells a wide variety of medical
equipment including Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI"), Computed Tomography
Scanners ("CT") and Ultrasound equipment. In addition Medical Marketplace
provides customers with consulting services related to equipment acquisition,
equipment layout and facility design. Medical Marketplace also has a small
rental program which provides new equipment and contract service with mobile MRI
and CT equipment. Medical Marketplace conducts its primary distribution
operations from its main office in Corona, California, which is shared with the
Company. It also has sales representatives in Northern California, Kansas,
Washington State and North Carolina.
In December 1996, the Company entered into a one year consulting
agreement with Victoria Holdings, Inc. ("Victoria Holdings"), an affiliate of
Biltmore Securities, Inc. ("Biltmore"). Pursuant to the consulting agreement,
Victoria Holdings agreed to assist the Company in identifying new business
partners suitable for the Company and in structuring, negotiating and
financing such transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting
agreement, the Company issued to Victoria Holdings options (the "Victoria
Holdings Options") to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock to Victoria Holdings (the "Victoria Fee Shares") upon
consummation by the Company of (i) an acquisition of a company (or companies)
introduced to the Company by Victoria Holdings with net assets of at least
$2,500,000 or (ii) a divestiture of the Company's assets, or a sale of a
controlling interest in the Company's capital stock, to a purchaser introduced
to the Company by Victoria Holdings resulting in net proceeds to the Company in
excess of $2,000,000.
In December 1996, the Company issued to certain employees, directors
and consultants of the Company (the "Management Optionholders") options (the
"Management Options") to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock during a four (4) year period commencing on January 1,
1997 at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the "Management Options").
On December 31, 1996 the Company concluded a private placement of
500,000 Units (the "December 1996 Private Placement") which were placed by
Biltmore, on a firm commitment basis. Each Unit was offered at a price of $2.00
per Unit, and consisted of one (1) share of Common Stock

of Medical Marketplace, Inc., and eighteen (18) Class D Redeemable Common Stock
Purchase Warrants (the "Class D Warrants"). Each six (6) Class D Warrants are
exercisable for one (1) share of the Company's Common Stock commencing March 31,
1997 at an exercise price of $2.50 per share for a one (1) year period.
On January 21, 1997 the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the
Company failed to satisfy the Capital Market Value Requirement and the Minimum
Bid Requirement with respect to its shares of Common Stock. The Company was
provided 90 days to comply with either of such requirements in order to continue
the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq. Failure to comply would have resulted
in delisting the Company's shares of Common Stock. On March 21, 1997, the
Company was informed by Nasdaq that the Company complied with the Minimum Bid
Requirement.
In March 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1-for-6
reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") with respect to each outstanding
share of the Company's Common Stock, such approval to be contingent upon the
approval of a majority of the Company's Stockholders. The Company's Board of
Directors conducted its annual meeting of shareholders on April 4, 1997 (the
"Annual Meeting") where, among other things, the Company's shareholders voted to
approve the Reverse Stock Split. At the Annual Meeting the Company's
shareholders also voted (i) to elect five (5) directors to the Board of the
Company for a one (1) year term, including, L. Wayne Kiley, Nancy Kiley, Rick C.
Garian, J.R. Achten and Thomas E. Evans, Jr. and (ii) to ratify the appointment
of Moore Stephens, P.C. as the Company's independent certified public
accountant.
On April 3, 1997 the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the
Company's shares of Common Stock failed to meet the Capital Market Value
Requirement and the Minimum Bid Requirement. In order to continue the listing of
its Common Stock on Nasdaq, the Company, was provided 90 days to meet the
Capital Market Value Requirement or the Minimum Bid Requirement. On May 21,
1997, the Company was advised by the Staff of Nasdaq that it is in compliance
with the continued listing requirements.
In light of the fact that the Company has been unable to operate
profitably since fiscal year ended June 1994, the Company believes that
substantial measures need to be taken to address the Company's financial
difficulties. The Board of Directors, after having considered numerous
alternatives, has concluded that the Company must significantly reduce its
expenses in order to reduce the Company's net losses. Therefore, the Company has
embarked upon a cost cutting plan by reducing its workforce, closing
unprofitable locations and discontinuing under performing product lines.
Specifically, the Company (i) closed its branch offices in Livonia, Michigan,
Traverse City, Michigan and Mariposa, California and (ii) reduced the number of
employees from a high of ninety six (96) in September 1995 to twenty two (22)
full-time and six (6) part-time as of April 15, 1997. See "The Company." In the
event that the Company determines that these measures are insufficient
to achieve profitability, the Company may reduce further its existing business
or pursue divesting the Company's computer business and/or acquiring an
alternative business. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not
entered into a definitive agreement with any third party with respect to such a
transaction.

The Company's executive office is located at 1490 Railroad Street,
Corona, California. It's telephone number is (909) 735-2102.
The Computer Industry
The computer industry has been characterized by rapid and continuous
technological advances permitting cost reductions, increases in computer
processing capacity and broadened user applications. Users frequently upgrade or
replace their equipment in order to take advantage of technological advances or
to increase data processing capacity. As a result, the equipment which is
replaced by different or newer models becomes available to the secondary market,
total sales revenue for the secondary computer market, both leasing and
"buy-sells" combined, exceeds $25 billion annually. The Company is a member in
good standing of the Computer Dealers and Lessor's Association ("CDLA"), a trade
association headquartered in Washington, DC, as well as the Association of
Service and Computer Dealers International ("ASCDI") and the Computer Broker
Exchange ("CBE"), a European computer dealer network.
The large number and diversity of computer resellers renders it more
cost efficient for many manufacturers to rely on wholesale distributors to
assume responsibility for at least some portion of their distribution, marketing
and support requirements. Similarly, due to the large number of computer product
manufacturers, computer resellers often choose not to or cannot efficiently
establish direct purchasing relationships with manufacturers and instead look to
wholesale distributors to satisfy a significant portion of their product,
marketing and technical support needs.
Computer Products
The Company buys and resells computers, features, parts, peripherals,
which include hard disk drives, memory, plug-in boards, modems, monitors and
printers, and other related computer equipment. Sales of computer equipment
constitutes a significant source of revenue for the Company, accounting for
approximately ninety-four percent (94%) and ninety-six (96%) of computer related
revenues in fiscal years 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company is constantly
adjusting its inventory to respond to shifts in product development, new
technology, and shifting consumer demands.
Modems/Communications
The Company has a distributor agreement with Motorola, which is a
leading manufacturer of modems, protocol converters and multiplexes, and is one
of the world's largest OEM modem suppliers, which results in the ability of the
Company to offer a broad range of communication products (UDS and Codex). The
Company has entered into franchise agreements for related communication products
with other vendors in order to significantly increase the breath of product
offerings to its customers.
37
<PAGE>
RISC System/6000 Rental Program
The Company has a rental program which provides software developers,
hardware developers and other customers with equipment necessary to meet their
short-term requirements in this rapidly expanding market. The Company's rental
program is primarily related to the RISC System/6000 market. Rental periods
typically range from one (1) month to over a year with the average rental period
being approximately two (2) months. The Company does not generally rent
equipment with an option to purchase; however, will respond to customer requests
to convert rentals into purchases. Rental rates are based upon the product's
original list price as well as market conditions. The Company provides rental
customers with manufacturers' warranties relating to the rented equipment or
repair or replacement at the Company's option. The Company may, from time to
time, perform repair work when requested to do so; however, IBM, as well as
other manufacturers, often provide technical support, including the repair and
replacement of defective or non-functioning parts.
Computer Products Sales and Marketing
The Company had a total of five (5) computer sales representatives and
four (4) sales support and marketing personnel as of April 15, 1997. These
representatives are located at the Company's headquarters in Corona, California.
In addition to making calls to existing and potential customers, the sales team
solicits new business by personal visits and advertising in trade magazines. The
Company currently advertises in approximately thirteen (13) specialized national
and international trade publications. The Company's customers consist of
companies of all sizes, ranging from small companies to Fortune 50 corporations.
A substantial portion of the Company's transactions are with repeat customers,
such as computer maintenance companies, as well as computer parts suppliers. The
loss of one of these companies as a customer could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business.
Computer Products Distribution Operations
The Company conducts its primary distribution operations from its main
office located in Corona, California. It has also developed relationships with
stocking distributors and numerous independent refurbishing and warehouse
facilities throughout the United States and other parts of the world to handle
distribution, engineering and warehousing. By using stocking distributors, the
Company has directly benefited by minimizing the costs of freight, engineering
and distribution.
Computer Equipment Warranty Policy
The Company, like other competing distributors, does not grant any
warranties on the used products it sells. However, most of the new and used
computer equipment which the Company sells is covered under either the
manufacturer's warranty or the manufacturer's maintenance programs. Some of the
new and used computer equipment which the Company sells is still under
manufacturer's warranty. Before any returned merchandise is accepted by the
Company for processing under the original manufacturer's warranty, the customer
must call the Company and obtain a return merchandise authorization number. This
procedure allows the Company to verify the availability of manufacturer's
warranties on a case-by-case basis.
38
<PAGE>
Computer Products Suppliers
The Company has established distributor arrangements with a number of
manufacturers of computer equipment which provide generally that the Company may
sell certain products within a designated territory and with a targeted amount
of value-added service. In addition, the Company has an established network of
dealers and retail customers that provide products. The Company is not dependent
upon any supplier or dealer an although the Company currently purchases a
significant amount of products from certain suppliers, management believes the
Company would be able to obtain similar products and pricing from other
suppliers.
Computer Products Competition
The Company competes directly with hundreds of other companies which
buy, sell or lease new and used IBM, SUN, Hewlett Packard, Digital Equipment and
Motorola equipment as well as equipment produced by other computer
manufacturers. In addition, the Company also competes with hundreds of
competitors in the area of providing value added services to its customers.
Certain of the Company's competitors have substantially greater financial
resources and larger staffs than the Company. The Company's principal
competitors include IBM, Comdisco, Inc., Sun Data, Inc. and El Camino
Resources, Inc. The Company does not believe that a significant amount of used
equipment is sold independently by owner-users of the equipment. While the
aforementioned companies are listed as competitors, they also are customers of
the Company. The majority of the competing companies subscribe to either of two
national databases: "CDLANET" and/or "ATC Network" nationally and the "CBE
Network" internationally. These databases provide the Company with access to
inventory listings from competing companies, similar to the multiple-listing
services to which most real estate companies subscribe.
The Company's continued ability to compete effectively may be affected
by the policies of the large equipment manufacturers. The Company attempts to
provide customers with an unmatched selection of products, a high level of
customer service, the knowledge and competence of its employees, and competitive
pricing.
Used Medical Equipment Industry
The used medical equipment industry is relatively young as compared to
the more established computer industry. Sales of used medical equipment have
been slowed due to a lack of acceptance of used equipment by health care
providers stemming in part from the uncertainty of the equipment's operating
condition and more generous cost reimbursement formulas given to providers by
governmental agencies and insurance companies. Medical Marketplace believes that
recent growth in the domestic market stems from the uncertainty caused by
various proposals on the domestic health care reform program, and as a result,
health care providers are attempting to minimize their capital expenditures by
purchasing lower-cost used equipment. In addition, foreign-based health care
providers are undergoing significant expansion and have found used equipment a
cost-effective alternative to new equipment.
39
<PAGE>
Medical Marketplace believes that there are no dominant providers of
used equipment in the industry. In addition, Medical Marketplace believes that
many of the equipment suppliers operate on a cash basis and only a few companies
can deal in larger transaction sizes of greater than $100,000. The association
which provides a forum for used equipment is relatively new, unlike the
association established for the computer business.
Medical Equipment and Services
Medical Marketplace buys and resells a wide variety of equipment
including Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI"), Computed Tomography Scanner ("CT")
and Ultrasound equipment. In addition, Medical Marketplace provides customers
with consulting services related to equipment acquisition, equipment layout and
facility design.
Medical Equipment Rental Program
Medical Marketplace has a small rental program which provides new
equipment providers and contract service providers with mobile MRI and CT
equipment. This service allows these customers to meet their short-term
equipment needs. Rentals are for approximately one month, however, weekly
rentals can also occur. This program needs additional capital in order to become
a significant revenue source to Medical Marketplace.
Medical Equipment Warranty Policy
Medical Marketplace, like other competing resellers, does not grant any
warranties on the used products it sells. However, most of the used medical
equipment which Medical Marketplace sells is covered under either the
manufacturer's warranty or the manufacturer's or third party maintenance
programs.
Medical Equipment Suppliers
Medical Marketplace has established relationships with a small but
growing number of equipment brokers and leasing companies across the United
States. In addition, Medical Marketplace by expanding its sales force is able to
procure equipment directly from the end-user. Generally, Medical Marketplace
physically inspects all major equipment before committing to purchase the item.
Medical Equipment Distribution Operations
Medical Marketplace conducts its primary distribution operations from
its main office in Corona, California. This facility is shared with the
Company's computer business. Physically large pieces of medical equipment such
as MRI's and CT's are often transported by Medical Marketplace from their last
installed location directly to our customer's site. This allows Medical
Marketplace to minimize storage and transportation costs in the transaction.
40
<PAGE>
Medical Equipment Sales and Marketing
Medical Marketplace had a total sales force at March 25, 1997 of six (6)
people. Three (3) inside sales representatives who are located in Corona,
California, an outside direct sales representative located in Northern
California, Kansas and Washington State. In addition, Medical Marketplace
attends various industry trade shows and advertises on the Internet and in
selected national and international trade publications. Medical Marketplace has
prospected for sales to Latin American countries however, sales have been
constrained by the difficulty of foreign purchasers obtaining the necessary
financing. As U.S. based financing companies develop foreign based lending
operations in these countries, Medical Marketplace intends to become the
financing company's used equipment vendor of choice.
Medical Marketplace intends to significantly grow the number of
domestically based outside sales representatives. This expansion will enable
Medical Marketplace to call on a far greater number of end-users which will
increase the number of opportunities to provide equipment and to purchase
equipment at the most favorable prices. Medical Marketplace has generally
focused on larger transaction sizes (i.e. greater than $50,000). Due to the
complex technical nature of the equipment, the potential need for the customer
to prepare the equipment site, including obtaining government permits and the
significant sale prices involved in a transaction, a transaction can take up to
a year to complete, although most transactions are completed in four months or
less. Consequently, Medical Marketplace's revenue and operating results can vary
materially from month to month.
Medical Equipment Competition
Medical Marketplace competes directly with the new medical equipment OEM's
like GE Medical Systems, Picker, Toshiba, Philip's and Siemens. Many of these
new equipment OEM's have used equipment divisions. In addition, Medical
Marketplace competes with a growing number of equipment brokers and leasing
companies such as Comdisco, Finova, Access Medical and Remed Par. Certain of
Medical Marketplace's competitors have substantially greater financial resources
and larger staffs than Medical Marketplace. Medical Marketplace believes that
only the largest of our competitors can match the technical ability of our
employees in the Imaging, X-ray and Ultrasound technologies and only our largest
competitors have the financial strength to inventory expensive MRI, CT or
Ultrasound equipment. Consequently, Medical Marketplace feels that it can
effectively compete against the large OEM's in used equipment transactions and
will have competitive advantages over specialized equipment brokers on end-user
transactions.
Government Regulation
Neither the Company nor Medical Marketplace has been materially affected by
government regulations applicable to either its computer products or its medical
equipment business, respectively.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses and Franchises
The Company has been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (i) a trademark for the AcceleRAIDer(R), on October 6, 1992, (ii) a
servicemark for Computer Marketplace(R), on November 3, 1992, and (iii) a
servicemark for Medical Marketplace, Inc. on August 20, 1996.
The Company does not own any other patents, trademarks, licenses, or
franchises which would be considered significant to the Company's business.
Credit Facilities
In September 1995, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility
agreement ("Credit Facility") with a financing company. This Credit Facility
replaced the then outstanding $2,000,000 revolving credit line with a bank. The
Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $2,500,000 and bears interest
at a rate of 2.25% above the lender's "reference rate" (as defined). The
borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is dependent upon "eligible" (as
defined) accounts receivable and inventory, and fluctuates daily. The Credit
Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets, except
for real property. The Credit Facility expires in September 1997.
Additionally, as of December 31, 1996, the Company had long-term debt
financing collateralized by its Corona headquarters and Mariposa locations, in
the amounts of $1,275,000 and $150,000, respectively.
Employees
As a result of management's focus to reduce costs and capitalize on the
efficiencies gained by administrative improvements, as of March 31, 1997, the
Company employed twenty two (22) full-time persons and six (6) part-time
persons, including eleven (11) persons in sales, marketing and related
activities, seven (7) persons in technical operations and maintenance, and nine
(9) persons in general administration and finance. The Company has experienced
no work stoppages and considers its employee relations to be satisfactory. The
Company's employees are not represented by a labor union.
PROPERTIES
On April 23, 1987, L. Wayne Kiley and Nancy Kiley, the Company's President
and Secretary, respectively, purchased a fifty percent (50%) undivided interest
in the land and 5,000 square-foot building at 205 East Fifth Street, Corona,
California, which had, until February 1994, served as the Company's
headquarters, and subsequently was used as an interim sales office and temporary
headquarters for Medical Marketplace until October, 1995. On June 30, 1987, the
Kiley's deeded their fifty percent (50%) interest in the land and building to
the Company in exchange for 952,623 shares of common stock of the Company. The
other fifty percent (50%) interest in the land and building is owned by Jack
Mooney, an unrelated third party. In 1996, the Company listed this property for
sale.
42
<PAGE>
On October 27, 1993, the Company purchased, at a trustee sale, a 68,457
square-foot building in Corona, California, for approximately $1,757,000. The
building, which currently has over 12,000 square feet of office space, is used
as the Company's headquarters. Due to favorable local real estate market
conditions, in August 1996, the Company listed this facility for sale.
On January 21, 1994, the Company purchased a two-story, 6,300 square-foot
office building located in Mariposa, California, for $215,000. The Company
intends to sell this facility in the near future. The Company has renovated
this facility and has leased fifty percent of the unused space.
On May 12, 1997, the Company entered into a Standard Offer Agreement and
Escrow Instructions for Purchase of Real Estate whereby the Company agreed to
sell its headquarters facility in Corona, California for the purchase price of
two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000). This transaction is
expected to close in June 1997. The Company has also recently closed certain
satellite locations in Michigan and Mariposa, California.
Management believes that the above properties are adequately covered by
insurance.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company commenced an unfair trade name infringement action entitled
Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. v. RK Productions/Case No. 260667 in Riverside
County, California Superior Court on January 20, 1995. The defendant failed to
respond to the Company's complaint, and is therefore, in default. Subsequently,
the defendant (under the name National Productions, Inc.) filed a Federal
lawsuit in the Central District of California entitled National Productions,
Inc. v. Computer Marketplace(R), Inc./Case No. 95-3225 on May 19, 1995. Computer
Marketplace(R) has counterclaimed in the Federal action which supersedes the
earlier state court action. Discovery in the case is substantially complete and
currently the case is in the negotiation phase. The outcome of this lawsuit
cannot be predicted, but the Company intends to vigorously defend the action and
is of the opinion that the lawsuit will not have a material effect on the
results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the Company.

The Company adopted a profit sharing plan in January 1991. The plan
provided for voluntary employee contributions and discretionary contributions by
the Company. The plan was intended to qualify as a defined contribution plan
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The amounts earned under the plan by
the named individuals in the Executive Compensation table are reflected under
the column headed "All Other Compensation". Due to the differences between the
plan year and the Company's fiscal year, the 1994 amount represents fifty
percent (50%) of the 1993 plan year contribution for L. Wayne Kiley and David L.
Roekle.
In January 1995, the Company adopted a new combined 401(k) and profit
sharing plan (the "Plan") which replaced the prior plans. The new Plan covers
substantially all of the Company's eligible employees. The new Plan is available
to all employees with more than one (1) year of service or, to employees
employed by the Company on February 1, 1995. Company contributions to the profit
sharing component of the Plan will be at the discretion of management. Company
contributions to the 401(K) component of the Plan will be based on a percentage
of employee contributions as determined by management. The charge to operations
related to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, was $18,421 and
$23,398, respectively.
In February 1995, the stockholders approved the Company's 1994 Stock
Plan which allows for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, deferred
stock, bonus shares performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, limited
stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards, or any combination
thereof. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
awards may be granted is initially 166,667 shares.
The Board of Directors may, in the future, adopt such other employee
benefit and executive compensation programs as it deems advisable and consistent
with the best interest of the stockholders and the financial condition of the
Company.
In May 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
issuance of up to 300,000 options to certain employees and consultants of the
Company (the "Options"). The Options vested immediately upon the grant thereof
and are exercisable at $14.40 per share (or 80% of the fair market value on the
date of grant) at any time prior to May 10, 1997. The Company granted 133,333 of
the available Options during fiscal year 1994. The remaining 166,667 Options
were granted in July 1994 to L. Wayne Kiley, the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. In June 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved the issuance of new non-qualified stock options to those employees and
consultants who currently held the Options. These replacement options required
the cancellation of the prior options, vested immediately and were exercisable
at $6.00 per share at any time prior to June 11, 2000. A total of 280,500
options were issued at $6.00 per share. In December 1996, the Company's
Compensation Committee approved the issuance to certain employees, officers and
directors options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
(the "December Options"). In exchange for the issuance of these options, certain
option holders surrendered for cancellation an aggregate of 242,500 options
issued in June 1996 for 722,500 of the December Options. These options vest
immediately and are exercisable over a four (4) year period at $1.00 per share.

On January 3, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
issuance of 158,083 non-qualified stock options to substantially all employees
of the Company, its subsidiaries, and the non-employee directors, to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to 100% of the

days prior to the date of the notice of redemption, which Notice shall be mailed
no later than five (5) days thereafter. Upon thirty (30) days' written notice to
all holders of Class D Warrants, the Company shall have the right, subject to
compliance with Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
filing of Schedule 13e-4, to reduce the exercise price and/or extend the term of
the Class D Warrants.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
The Company is governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, an anti-takeover law enacted in 1988. In general,
the law prohibits a Delaware public corporation from engaging in a "business
combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three (3) years
after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless it is approved in a prescribed manner. As a result of
Section 203, potential acquirors of the Company may be discouraged from
attempting to effect acquisition transactions with the Company, thereby possibly
depriving holders of the Company's securities of certain opportunities to sell
or otherwise dispose of such securities at above-market prices pursuant to such
transactions.
Limitation on Liability of Directors
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a
corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase insurance
with respect to liability arising out of the performance of their duties as
directors and officers provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) arising under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides further that the
indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which the directors and officers may be entitled under the
corporation's by-laws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.
Article Ninth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates
the personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section
102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The effect of the foregoing is to require the Company to the extent
permitted by law to indemnify the officers and directors of the Company for any
claim arising against such persons in their official capacities if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that
in the opinion of the "Commission), such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Securities and Exchange Commission Policy
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and other agents of the Company, the Company
has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent for the Company's shares of Common Stock, Class A
Warrants, Class B Warrants and Class D Warrants is American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, located at 40 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005.

Sales of securities by the Selling Securityholder or even the potential
of such sales would likely have an adverse effect on the market prices of the
securities offered hereby.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Class D Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Victoria Holdings Option and the Management Options offered
hereby may be sold from time to time directly by the Selling Securityholders.
Alternatively, the Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer such
securities through underwriters, dealers or agents. The distribution of
securities by the Selling Securityholders may be effected in one or more
transactions that may take place on the over-the-counter market, including
ordinary broker's transactions, privately-negotiated transactions or through
sales to one or more broker-dealers for resale of such shares as principals, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Usual and customary or
specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling
Securityholders in connection with such sales of securities. The securities
offered by the Selling Securityholders may be sold by one or more of the
following methods, without limitations: (a) a block trade in which a broker or
dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b)
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer
for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers, and (d) face-to-face
transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker-dealer. In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. The Selling Securityholders
and intermediaries through whom such securities are sold may be deemed
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Act with respect to the securities
offered, and any profits realized or commissions received may be deemed
underwriting compensation.
The Class D Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Management Options may not be sold or transferred by the
Warrantholders or the Management Optionholders, as the case may be, until July
1, 1998 and June 17, 1998, respectively, without the prior written consent of
Biltmore Securities, Inc., a licensed broker-dealer and member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers ("Biltmore"). The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Victoria Holdings Options may be sold from time to
time after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement. Victoria Holdings
is an affiliate of Biltmore. No underwriting arrangements have been entered into
by the Selling Securityholders. The distribution of the securities by the
Selling Securityholders may be effected in one or more transactions that may
take place on the over-the-counter market including ordinary broker's
transactions, privately-negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more
dealers for resale of such shares as principals at market prices prevailing at
the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees
or commissions may be paid by the Selling Securityholders in connection with
sales of such securities.
62
<PAGE>
At the time a particular offer of securities is made by or on behalf of
the Selling Securityholders, to the extent required, a Prospectus will be
distributed which will set forth the number of shares being offered and the
terms of the Offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers
or agents, if any, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for sales
purchased from the Selling Securityholders and any discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and the proposed selling
price to the public.
Sales of securities by the Selling Securityholders or even the
potential of such sales would likely have an adverse effect on the market prices
of the securities offered hereby.
Since the average closing bid price for the shares of Common Stock does
not satisfy the requirements necessary to enable the Company to call the Class A
Warrants, Class B Warrants, Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants for
redemption, the Company does not currently anticipate calling the Warrants for
redemption in the near future. However, in the event that the average closing
bid price of the Common Stock does satisfy the requirements necessary to enable
the Company to call the Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants, Class C Warrants and
Class D Warrants, the Company may, in accordance with the terms of the Warrants,
call such securities for redemption.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Rule 144
At the time of this Offering there are 1,352,424 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding, and, upon the exercise of the Class D
Warrants, the Victoria Holdings Options and the Management Options there will be
an additional 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. All of
these shares will be freely tradeable without restrictions under the Act. None
of the shares of Common Stock are "restricted securities" within the meaning of
Rule 144 and are eligible for sale in public markets subject to the resale
limitations of Rule 144. In the event that any of the other warrants or options
issued by the Company are exercised, such shares of capital stock underlying
such securities will be deemed to be "restricted securities," except for any
securities registered under any stock option plan, or pursuant to other
registration rights granted by the Company, if any. In general, under Rule 144,
a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) including persons who may be
deemed to be "affiliates" of the Company, as that term is defined under the Act,
is entitled to sell within any three (3) month period, the amount of shares
beneficially owned for at least one (1) year that does not exceed the greater of
(i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) the average
weekly trading volume in the Common Stock in the four (4) calendar weeks
preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain
requirements as to the manner of sale, notice and availability of certain public
information about the Company. A person who has not been an affiliate of the
Company for the three months prior to any proposed sale, and has beneficially
owned such shares for at least two (2) years is entitled to sell all such shares
without regard to the volume, manner of sale, notice requirements or any
restrictions.
63
<PAGE>
No predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of
shares under Rule 144 or the availability of shares for sale will have on the
market, if any, prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of
the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 may adversely affect the market price of
the Common Stock or the Class D Warrants offered hereby.

The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for
the Company by Bernstein & Wasserman, LLP, 950 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10022.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Computer Marketplace(R), Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Computer
Marketplace(R), Inc., and its subsidiaries, as of June 30, 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the two fiscal years in the period ended June 30, 1996. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. and its subsidiaries, as of June 30, 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
two fiscal years in the period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
the consolidated financial position of Computer Marketplace, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 1997, the consolidated
results of its operations for the three and nine month periods ending
March 31, 1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the nine month periods
ending March 31, 1997 and 1996. Although the Company believes that the
disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote
information normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of operations for the
period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1996.
Certain amounts in the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
1997 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current presentation.

========== ========== ==========
Inventory on short-term rental consists of new and previously owned
computer-related equipment which is typically rented to customers for a
few months to fulfill their temporary computing needs. The Company,
based on the satisfactory economics of the transaction, will allocate
existing inventory to the transaction if the product is available
in-house, or purchase the equipment to meet the customer's needs. At
the expiration of the rental period, upon the return of the equipment
to the Company, the equipment is re-marketed for sale along with
similar equipment in the Company's inventory. The Company charges
operations for an estimate of the inventory's valuation decrease while
it is on temporary rental. Net increases to the inventory valuation
allowance were $127,391 and $94,905 for each of the nine month periods
ending March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

owned facility at 205 East Fifth Street in Corona, California and the
Company's main facility located at 1490 Railroad Street in Corona.
Accumulated depreciation associated with the two facilities at March
31, 1997 was $23,459 and $132,252, respectively. The decision to
classify this property as held for sale was made at June 30, 1996.
4. NOTES PAYABLE
-------------
In September 1995, the Company entered into a new revolving credit
facility agreement ("Credit Facility") with a financing company. This
Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $2,500,000 and bears
interest at a rate of 2.25% above the lender's "reference rate" (as
defined). The borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is dependent
upon "eligible (as defined) accounts receivable and inventory, and
fluctuates daily. At December 31, 1996, borrowings under the Credit
Facility and additional amounts available for borrowing under the
Credit Facility were $2,363,840 and $26,562, respectively. The Credit
Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets, except for real property. The Credit Facility expires on
September 30, 1997, but is automatically renewed for an additional one
(1) year term unless either party provides written notice to the other
party of the desire to cancel the Credit Facility.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
In October 1996, the Company amended its employment agreement with L.
Wayne Kiley, the Company's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
Executive Officer. Pursuant to such amendment, (i) the employment
agreement's expiration date of October 16, 1997 was extended to October
16, 1999, (ii) Mr. Kiley was granted the right to purchase a number of
shares of Common Stock for a period of four (4) years, at a price equal
to seventy five percent (75%) of the closing bid price of the Company's
shares of Common Stock on the date of grant equal to 2.5%, 3% and 3.5%
of the shares outstanding, should the Company report annual earnings
before the payment of interest and taxes of $635,000, $875,000 and
$1,000,000, respectively, (iii) Mr. Kiley will be paid a cash bonus
equal to 5% of any profit realized by the Company from the sale of
assets outside the ordinary course of business, and (iv) an insurance
policy covering the life of Mr. Kiley whereby Mr. Kiley's estate will
be paid $2,000,000 in exchange for the redemption of the shares of the
Company's
F-11

(Unaudited)
capital stock beneficially owned by Mr. Kiley. The employment agreement
contains other customary terms and conditions including termination for
cause, non-competition and confidentiality provisions.
In December 1996 the Company entered into a one (1) year consulting
agreement with Victoria Holdings, Inc. an affiliate of Biltmore
Securities, Inc. (Victoria Holdings and Biltmore, respectively).
Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Victoria Holdings agreed to act
as a consultant to the Company in connection with, among other things,
corporate finance and evaluations of possible business partners and
will seek to find business partners suitable for the Company. In
addition, Victoria Holdings has agreed to assist the Company in the
structuring, negotiating and financing of such transactions. The
consulting agreement provides for the issuance to Victoria Holdings of
options (the Victoria Holdings Options) exercisable to purchase
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share and for the additional issuance to Victoria Holdings of 166,667
shares (the "Victoria Fee Shares) of Common Stock upon consummation by
the Company of (i) an acquisition of a company (or companies)
introduced to the Company by Victoria Holdings with net assets of at
least $2,500,000 or (ii) a divestiture of the Company's assets, or the
sale of a controlling interest in the Company's capital stock, to a
purchaser introduced to the Company by Victoria Holdings resulting in
net proceeds to the Company in excess of $2,000,000.
In December 1996, the Company issued to certain employees, officers and
directors options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock during a four (4) year period commencing on
January 1, 1997 at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the Management
Options). In exchange for the issuance of certain of the Management
Options, certain option holders surrendered for cancellation an
aggregate of 242,500 options previously issued in June 1996 for 722,500
of the Management Options.
On December 31, 1996 the Company concluded a private placement of
500,000 Units (the December 1996 Private Placement) which were placed
by Biltmore Securities, Inc., a broker-dealer and a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers ("Biltmore"), on a firm
commitment basis. Each Unit was offered at a price of $2.00 per Unit,
and consisted of one (1) share of Common Stock of Medical Marketplace,
Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and eighteen (18) Class D Redeemable
Common Stock Warrants (the "Class D Warrants"). Six (6) the Class D
Warrants are currently exercisable for one (1) share of the Company's
Common Stock commencing March 31, 1997 at an exercise price of $2.50
per share for a one (1) year period. The Company intends to use the
proceeds from the December 1996 Private Placement to expand the
business of Medical Marketplace, repay advances made by the Company to
Medical Marketplace, and for working capital purposes. Prior to the
December 1996 Private Placement, Medical Marketplace issued options to
certain key employees to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of
Medical Marketplace Common Stock at $.80 per share.
The Company, its officers, directors and employees and holders of 5% or
more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have agreed not to sell,
pledge, transfer or hypothecate any shares of Common Stock of the
Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock of the Company for a period of
eighteen (18) months from December 31, 1996 without Biltmore's prior
consent.
The Company's Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market
("Nasdaq"). Under the rules of Nasdaq in order to qualify for continued
quotation of securities on Nasdaq, the Company, among other things,
must have either (i) $2,000,000 in assets, $1,000,000 in stockholder
equity and a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid
Requirement") or alternatively (ii) $2,000,000 in total capital and
surplus, and $1,000,000 in market value of public float (the
"Capital/Market Value Requirement"). On May 12, 1997, the Company's
Common Stock had a closing price of $1.25. On January 21, 1997, the
Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company failed to satisfy
the Capital/Market Value Requirement and the Minimum Bid Requirement
with respect to its shares of Common Stock. The Company was then
provided 90 days to comply with either of such requirements in order to
continue the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq. Failure to do so
would result in delisting the Company's shares of Common Stock. On
March 21, 1997, the Company was informed by Nasdaq that the Company
complied with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On April 3, 1997 the Staff
of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company's shares of Common stock
failed to meet the Capital Market Value Requirement and the Minimum Bid
Requirement. In order to continue the listing of its Common Stock on
Nasdaq, the Company was provided 90 days to meet the Capital Market
Value Requirement or the Minimum Bid Requirement. Following the Reverse
Stock split, the Company's shares were trading at $1.25 and therefore
the Company believes that it meets such requirements. Although the
Company beleives it is in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement,
it should be noted that, Nasdaq filed in early March 1997, with the
SEC, proposed rule changes to the maintenance standards required by
Nasdaq. Upon SEC approval the Company would have six (6) months to meet
the new maintenance standards. Under the proposed new standards for
continued inclusion on the Small Cap Market the Comapny will have to
have net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or net income of $500,000 in two
of the last three years or a market capitalization of at least
$35,000,000. If the
F-12
<PAGE>
Computer Marketplace, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
proposed rule changes are approved by the SEC and adopted by Nasdaq, it
is unlikely that the Company would be able to comply with such new
standards.
In March 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1-for-6
reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") with respect to its
shares of Common Stock, such approval to be contingent upon the
approval of a majority of the Company's shareholders. The Company
conducted its annual meeting of shareholders on April 4, 1997 (the
"Annual Meeting") where, among other things, the Company's shareholders
voted to approve the Reverse Stock Split. All per share references
contained herein reflect the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split.
At the Annual Meeting the Company's shreholders also voted (i) to elect
five (5) directors to the Board of the Comapny for a one (1) year term,
including; L. Wayne Kiley, Nancy Kiley, Rick C. Garian, J.R. Achten and
Thomas E. Evans, Jr. and (ii) to ratify the appointment of Moore
Stephens, P.C. as the Comapny's independent certified public
accountant.
In light of the fact that the Company has been unable to operate
profitably since the fiscal year ended June 1994, the Company believes
that substantial measures need to be taken to address the Comapny's
financial difficulties. The Board of Directors, after having considered
numerous alternatives, has concluded that the Company must
significantly reduce its expenses in order to reduce the Company's net
losses. Therefore, the Company has embarked upon a cost cutting plan by
reducing its workforce, closing unprofitable locations and
discontinuing under-performing product lines. Specifically, the Company
(it closed its branch offices in Livonia, Michigan, Traverse City,
Michigan and Mariposa, California (ii) reduced the number of employees
form a high of ninety-six (96) in September 1995 to twenty-two (22)
full-time and six (6) part-time as of April 15, 1997 and (iii) intends
to lease or sell its underutilized headquarters facility in Corona,
California. In the event that the Company determines that these
measures are insufficient to achieve profitability, the Company may
pursue divesting the Company's computer business and/or acquiring an
alternative business.
6. Subsequent Events
-----------------
On April 25, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the
net amount of its inventory on short-term rental. The Company does not
expect to incur any losses in connection with the sale of its inventory
on short-term rental.
7. Stock Split
-----------
In April, 1997, the Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company by changing the
8,114,542 then outstanding shares of Common Stock par value $.0001 per
share, into 1,352,424 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value
$.0001 per share. All share data has been adjusted to reflect this
change.

Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Business
-------------------------
Computer Marketplace, a California corporation, was incorporated on
July 19, 1983, as Quality Associates, Inc. and changed its name to
Computer Marketplace in June 1987. In March 1993, Computer Marketplace
changed its name to Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. ("Computer
Marketplace") and its state of incorporation from California to
Delaware. Computer Marketplace is currently engaged in the national
wholesale distribution of new and used computer equipment to dealers,
computer maintenance companies, leasing companies, equipment brokers,
and end-users. Computer Marketplace purchases computer equipment from a
variety of sources and suppliers and sells or rents the equipment
nationwide and in Europe to companies ranging in size from small
companies to Fortune 50 corporations. The computer industry is highly
competitive and may be affected by rapid changes in technology and
customer spending habits. Management believes the Company's ability to
provide customers with an unmatched selection of products, a high level
of customer service and competitive pricing allows it to compete
effectively against other companies in the industry. In March 1994, a
wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Marketplace, Inc. ("Medical
Marketplace"), was formed to engage in distribution of used medical
equipment to health care providers. In September 1994, a wholly owned
subsidiary, Marketplace Asset Recovery Services, Inc. ("MARS") was
formed to perform asset recovery assignments, repossessions and asset
verifications. In June 1996, management began the process of closing
down the operations of MARS. In August 1996, the subsidiary was renamed
Marketplace Leasing, Inc., ("MLI"). Management intends to utilize MLI
as the Company's future equipment leasing subsidiary. The operation of
MARS to date, has not been material to the consolidated financial
statements. In January 1994, Computer Marketplace formed a wholly owned
subsidiary, Superior Solutions, Inc. ("SSI") (formerly called Computer
Marketplace-SSI, Inc.), located in Livonia, Michigan, to purchase
certain assets and assume certain obligations of Synergy Solutions,
Inc., and International Associated Marketing Corporation. These
companies were engaged principally in the development, installation and
maintenance of local and wide area networks, were Novell Platinum
Authorized Resellers, and were also selling computer hardware. On July
1, 1996, the employees of SSI began operating as a sales and networking
branch of Computer Marketplace. The distinct business operations of SSI
will be gradually phased down as the operations are better integrated
into Computer Marketplace. Computer Marketplace and its subsidiaries
are hereinafter referred to as the "Company".
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Basis of Consolidation
-----------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Computer Marketplace, Medical Marketplace, SSI and MARS. All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
F-14
<PAGE>
Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
The Company records product sales revenue when goods have been shipped
and rental revenue ratably over the term of the rental.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of
three (3) months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventory
---------
Inventory, which consists primarily of previously owned finished goods,
is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is
generally determined by specific identification.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Improvements to rented office space are amortized over
the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement.
Impairment
----------
The Company's intangible assets, including software development costs,
and customer lists, are reviewed at least annually as to whether their
carrying value has become impaired. Management considers these assets
to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the discounted future
projected cash flows from related operations. If impairment is deemed
to exist, these assets will be written down to the lower of projected
discounted cash flow or management's estimate of fair value. Management
also evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether later
events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of the useful life
of these assets. In June 1996, the Company charged operations $174,218
related to the write-off of goodwill. In June 1995, the Company charged
operations $162,050 related to impaired software development costs and
deferred offering costs. As of June 30, 1996, management expects the
remaining intangible assets to be fully recoverable.
Other Liabilities
-----------------
Other liabilities represents the long-term portion of a balance owed to
a vendor under negotiated extended payment terms. The final payment
under this arrangement is expected to be made in March, 1998.
F-15
<PAGE>
Computer Marketplace(R), Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
----------------------------------
Net loss per share of common stock is computed on the basis of the
weighted average share of common stock outstanding plus equivalent
shares arising from the effect of dilutive stock options and warrants
using the treasury stock method. For fiscal years 1996 and 1995, the
per share results were computed without consideration for contingently
issuable shares underlying stock options and warrants as the effect on
the per share results would be anti-dilutive. Fully diluted and primary
loss per share are the same of all periods presented.
Estimates
---------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Reclassification
----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated
financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current
year.
3. Inventory
---------
Inventory $2,182,448
Inventory on short-term rental 1,190,605
----------
3,373,053
Less inventory valuation allowance 221,216

Inventory on short-term rental consists of new and previously owned
computer-related equipment which is typically rented to customers for a
few months to fulfill their temporary computing needs. The Company,
based on the satisfactory economics of the transaction, will allocate
existing inventory to the transaction if the product is available

the expiration of the rental period, upon the return of the equipment
to the Company, the equipment is remarketed for sale along with similar
equipment in the Company's inventory. The Company charges operations
for an estimate of the inventory's valuation decrease while it is on
temporary rental. Net (decreases) increases to the inventory valuation
allowance associated with the Company's inventory were $(289,823) and
$351,372 for the years ending June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
4. Property and Equipment

5. Notes Payable
-------------
In September 1995, the Company entered into a new revolving credit
facility agreement ("Credit Facility") with a financing company. This
Credit Facility replaced the then outstanding $2,000,000 revolving
credit line with a bank. The Credit Facility allows the Company to
borrow up to $2,500,000 and bears interest at rate of 2.25% above the
lender's "reference rate" (as defined). The borrowing capacity under
the Credit Facility is dependent upon "eligible" (as defined) accounts
receivable and inventory, and fluctuates daily. At June 30, 1996,
borrowings under the Credit Facility and additional amounts available
for borrowing under the Credit Facility were $2,174,841 and $195,758,
respectively. The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially
all of the Company's assets, except for real property. The Credit
Facility expires in September 1997.

7. Employment Contracts
--------------------
The Company has employment contracts with most of its sales
representatives for terms ranging from one (1) to three (3) years.
Commissions are paid monthly based on a Company formula. As part of the
contracts, the sales representatives agree to a restrictive covenant
not-to-compete upon termination.
In October 1992, the Company entered into 5-year employment agreements
with two (2) officers for an aggregate annual salary of $293,000. These
agreements provide for an aggregate increase of approximately ten
percent (10%) each year, if the Company is profitable. One of the
agreements provides for stock purchase rights (aggregating up to 18% of
the Company's outstanding common stock) priced at $1.60 per share if
certain earnings before the payment of interest and taxes are met.
In January 1994, the Company, in connection with an asset purchase
agreement (note 16), entered into 5-year employment agreements with two
(2) individuals for an initial annual salary of $40,000 each, then
increasing to $45,000 for the second year. The agreements provide for
annual ten percent (10%) increases, if the Company is profitable, and
for sales and performance bonuses. In addition, in January 1995, each
of the four (4) individuals associated with Synergy Solutions, Inc. and
International Associated Marketing Corporation received 6,060 shares of
common stock of the Company.

8. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
At June 30, 1996, amounts due to or from related individuals have been
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as
follows:
Notes Receivable - Related Parties
----------------------------------
On June 30, 1990, the Company sold an investment in residential
property to a business associate of the principal stockholder. The
Company received an all-inclusive note and deed of trust for $250,000.
The note was originally due on December 31, 1993, and interest-only
payments are due monthly at twelve percent (12%). This note is
currently in default; however, management has decided not to call the
note as interest payments continue to be made. The Company is obligated
to pay the underlying mortgages on the property (note 6). Additional
advances are made to cover repairs and other related expenses on the
above property. The balance owed on these advances amounted to $63,209
as of June 30, 1996. The original amount of the note is personally
guaranteed by the Company's President and a reserve has been
established for amounts in excess of the guaranteed amount.
Short-term loans were made to several employees during the years ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995. These loans, which bear interest at rates
between ten percent (10%) and twelve percent (12%), amounted to $18,999
and $32,235 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company's subsidiary, Superior Solutions, Inc., has two (2)
agreements outstanding with the former owners of Synergy Solutions,
Inc. and International Associated Marketing Corporation, totaling, with
interest $26,745, as of June 30, 1996. The agreements bear interest at
five percent (5%) and are due by November 1, 1997.
Other Transactions
------------------
The Company owns an undivided fifty percent (50%) interest in its
former Corona headquarters building. The other fifty percent (50%)
interest is owned by a business associate of the principal stockholder.
Accordingly, the Company recorded fifty percent (50%) of the total cost
of land and building on its financial statement, as well as fifty
percent (50%) of the mortgage balance (note 6).
Effective August 1, 1995, the Company entered into a lease with the
Company's President for office space at the Traverse City, Michigan
location. The rent for this approximately 2,700 square foot location is
$2,700 per month. Rent Expense for the year ended June 30, 1996 was
$29,700. The three-year lease, which contains an option for the Company
or the landlord to cancel with six (6) months notice after each full
year, expires on July 31, 1998.
The Company paid consulting fees to a company owned by an officer in
the amount of $8,000 for fiscal year 1995. The consulting arrangement
with the company was terminated in August 1994.

9. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments" ("Statement 107"). The estimated fair value
amounts have been determined using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is
necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates
of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated
fair value assumptions.
Estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments (all of
which are held for nontrading purposes) are as follows:
June 30, 1996
-----------------------
Carrying Fair
Amount Value
-----------------------
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 594,921 $ 594,921
Notes receivable - related parties 295,744 295,744
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable 2,174,841 2,174,841
Long-term debt 1,589,758 1,584,432
Cash and Cash Equivalents
--------------------------
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying
amount reported in the balance sheet.
Notes Receivable - Related Parties
-----------------------------------
The fair value of notes receivable - related parties is based on
current rates at which the Company would lend funds with similar
characteristics and maturities. At June 30, 1996, the fair value of
these notes approximates the carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheets.
Notes Payable
-------------
The fair value of notes payable is based on current rates at which the
Company could borrow funds with similar characteristics. At June 30,
1996, the fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying amount
reported in the balance sheet.

Long-term Debt
--------------
The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the
Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------
Litigation
----------
The Company commenced an unfair trade name infringement action entitled
Computer Marketplace, Inc. v. RK Productions/Case No. 260667 in
Riverside County, California Superior Court on January 20, 1995. The
defendant failed to respond to the Company's complaint, and was
therefore, in default. Subsequently, the defendant (under the name
National Productions, Inc.) filed a Federal lawsuit in the Central
District of California entitled National Productions, Inc. v. Computer
Marketplace, Inc./Case No. 95-3225 on May 19, 1995. Computer
Marketplace has counter claimed in the Federal action which supersedes
the earlier state court action. Discovery in the case is substantially
complete and currently the case is in the negotiation phase. The
outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted, but the Company intends to
vigorously defend the action and is of the opinion that the lawsuit
will not have a material effect on the results of operations, cash
flows and financial position of the Company.
Lease Commitments
-----------------
The Company leases various office facilities and equipment under
operating leases expiring through 1999. Rent expense related to these
leases for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, was $114,629 and
$102,314, respectively.
As of June 30, 1996, aggregate future minimum rental payments on
noncancelable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one (1)
year, which are all for office space, are as follows:
June 30,
----------
1997 $56,400
1998 32,400
1999 2,700
-------
$91,500

11. Profit Sharing Plan and 401(k) Plan
-----------------------------------
In January 1995, the Company adopted a new combined 401(k) and profit
sharing plan (the "Plan") which replaced the prior plans. The new Plan
will cover substantially all of the Company's eligible employees. The
new Plan is available to all employees with more than one (1) year of
service or, to employees employed by the Company on February 1, 1995.
Company contributions to the profit sharing component of the Plan will
be at the discretion of management. Company contributions to the 401(k)
component of the Plan is based on a percentage of employee
contributions, but is at the discretion of management. The charge to
operations related to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, was $18,421 and $23,398, respectively.
12. Income Taxes
------------
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences
between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and tax purposes. Temporary differences are caused primarily
by depreciation, inventory valuation allowances and accounts receivable
allowance for doubtful accounts.
Generally accepted accounting principles require the establishment of a
deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences and
operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax asset attributable to
operating loss carryforwards amounted to approximately $1,000,000 at
June 30, 1996. Because the Company does not as yet have a history of
continuing profitability, any deferred tax asset established for the
operating loss carryforward would correspondingly require a valuation
of allowance of the same amount. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset is
reflected in these consolidated financial statements.
No provision for Federal income taxes has been made during the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, because of the Company's net loss
position and utilization of net operating losses. The 1995 provision
for income taxes reflects current and prior year provisions for minimum
state taxes, as well as adjustments for prior year state tax refunds
not realized in 1995.
The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$2,600,000 which begin to expire in 2005.

13. Stockholders' Equity
--------------------
Initial Public Offering
-----------------------
On June 22, 1993, the Company completed the initial public offering of
2,070,00 units (including the 270,000 underwriters over-allotment
units) at $4.00 per unit resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$6,594,179. Each unit consists of one (1) share of common stock and one
(1) Class A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant and one (1) Class
B Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant. Each six (6) Class A and B
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase two (2) shares of common stock for $28.50 and $33.00,
respectively, commencing one (1) year from the effective date of the
offering. In connection with the offering, the Company sold to the
Underwriter, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 360,000 units ("Underwriters Unit Purchase Options"). The
Underwriters Unit Purchase Option is exercisable for a four (4) year
period commencing two (2) years after the effective date of the
offering at an exercise price of $3.30 per Unit.
Stock Split
-----------
In June 1994, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by changing the
4,045,151 then outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per
share, into 8,090,302 shares of common stock of the Company, par value
$.0001 per share. All share data has been adjusted to reflect this
change.
Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards
------------------------------------------
In May 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
issuance of up to 300,000 options to certain employees and consultants
of the Company (the "Options"). The Options vest immediately upon the
grant thereof and are exercisable at $14.40 per share (or 80% of the
fair market value on the date of grant) at any time prior to May 10,
1997. The Company granted 166,667 options in July 1994 to the President
of the Company. In June 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company
approved the issuance of new non-qualified stock options to those
employees and consultants who currently held any of the options
exercisable at $14.40 per share. These replacement options required the
cancellation of the prior options are immediately vested and are
exercisable at $6.00 per share at any time prior to June 11, 2000. A
total of 280,500 options were issued at $6.00 per share.

On January 3, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
issuance of 158,083 non-qualified stock options to substantially all
employees of the Company, its subsidiaries, and the non-employee
directors, to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price equal to 100% of the market value of the Company's
common stock on the date of grant. The stock options require future
employment or services to the Company and vest one third each on

The stock options must be exercised by January 3, 2006. On January 3,
1996, 157,083 stock options were granted at an exercise price of
$1.6875 per share.
On June 11, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
issuance of 10,833 non-qualified stock options to seven employees of
the Company. These stock options require future employment to the
Company and vest one third each on June 11, 1997, June 11, 1998 and
June 11, 1999, respectfully. The stock options must be exercised by
June 11, 2006. On June 11, 1996, 10,833 stock options were granted at
an exercise price of $3.375 per share.
The following is a summary of transactions under the plan:

14. Concentrations of Credit Risk
-----------------------------
The Company currently maintains cash accounts with financial
institutions which exceed the maximum amounts insured by the Federal
Depository Insurance Corporation. At June 30, 1996, these uninsured
amounts totaled approximately $555,000.
Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to
support customer receivables, however the Company routinely assesses
the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes
that its trade receivable credit risk exposure is limited.
15. New Authoritative Pronouncements
--------------------------------
Effective July 1, 1996, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". Under
SFAS 121, management will consider its long-lived assets to be impaired
if the carrying value exceeds the sum of net cash flows generated by
the asset (and from it disposition). These cash flows are not
discounted for this purpose. Currently, management evaluates impairment
utilizing a discounted cash flow approach. Adoption of this SFAS is not
expected to have a material effect on these consolidated financial
statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," in October 1995. SFAS No.
123 uses a fair value based method of accounting for stock options and
similar equity instruments as contrasted to the intrinsic value based
method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board [APB]
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company
has not decided if it will adopt SFAS No. 123 or continue to apply APB
Option No. 25 for financial reporting purposes. SFAS No. 123 will have
to be adopted for financial note disclosure purposes in any event. The
accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective
for transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December
15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 also applies to transactions on which an entity
issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from
non-employees. Those transactions must be accounted for based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. This
requirement is effective for transactions entered into after December
15, 1995. This provision of SFAS No. 123 did not have a material effect
on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
June 30, 1996.

16. Asset Purchase Agreement
------------------------
In January 1994, the Company signed an asset purchase agreement to
acquire certain assets and assume certain obligations of Synergy
Solutions, Inc. and International Associated Marketing Corporation
(note 1) in exchange for $20,000 and 24,242 shares of common stock of
the Company, which had a fair market value of $100,000. In January
1995, the Company issued an additional 4040 shares of common stock,
which had a fair market value of approximately $15,907.
The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the operating results of Synergy Solutions, Inc. and
International Associated Marketing Corporation have been included in
the consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition. The
total purchase price of $120,000 was allocated to assets acquired based
on their estimated fair values. Acquisition related expenses totaling
$52,759 were included in goodwill.
At June 30, 1996, the Company expensed the unamortized goodwill of
$174,218 due to the substantial uncertainty that the future cash flows
from operations will adequately support the previously recorded
goodwill amount.

Operating profit (loss) is total operating revenue less operating
expenses, and excludes interest expense and other nonoperating revenues
and expenses. Intersegment sales during 1996 and 1995 were immaterial
to the consolidated financial statements. Shared operating expenses
were allocated to the Medical Products segment at a rate of $5,000 per
month for a total of $60,000 in 1996. For 1996, depreciation and
amortization expense for the Computer Products and Medical Products
industry segments was $264,197 and $11,767, respectively. For 1995,
deprecation and amortization expense for the Computer Products and
Medical Products industry segments was $217,343 and $3,103,
respectively. Capital expenditures for the two segments in 1996 were
$224,475 and $146,156, respectively. Capital expenditures for the two
segments in 1995 were $548,014 and $24,935, respectively.

Identifiable assets are those used by each segment of the Company's
operations and do not include advances from the Computer Products
segment to the Medical Products segment totaling $1,219,628 and
$787,223 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
18. Fourth Quarter Adjustments
--------------------------
There were certain adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1996, and 1995, and the aggregate effect of such adjustments was
material to the results of that quarter.
The Company beginning in January 1995, moved to more aggressively
reduce the quantity of inventory on hand in a concerted effort to
enhance operating efficiency and improve cash flow. During the fourth
quarter 1995, the Company charged operations approximately $225,000 for
increases to the inventory valuation allowance in excess of normal
quarterly charges.
In addition, the Company, after an extended focus on accounts
receivable collections, took charges in the fourth quarter of 1995, of
approximately $240,000 related to valuation of the remaining accounts
receivable. Approximately $130,000 of this charge related to a single
customer. Management continues to actively pursue timely collection on
all of the Company's customer accounts.
Equally significant, in June 1996, the Company charged operations
$174,218 related to the write off of goodwill. In June 1995, the
Company charged operations $162,050 related to impaired software
development costs and deferred offering costs (note 2).
19. Management's Plans
------------------
The Company has experienced significant losses during each of the past
two years aggregating $2,556,140. These losses have caused a
corresponding reduction in the Company's working capital. While
Management believes that the Company has sufficient working capital,
Management has nevertheless, developed plans to improve the working
capital position of the Company. During the first quarter of the next
fiscal year, Management anticipates a further reduction of operating
expenses through additional personnel cutbacks and additional operating
expense consolidation. Management's plans also include the sale of the
Company's two Corona, California facilities which are expected to
reduce substantially all of the Company's long-term debt and are
expected to provide an additional $1,000,000 in working capital. In
addition, Management intends to seek either a private placement of
funds involving either Medical Marketplace or Computer Marketplace or
initiate a secondary stock offering. The Company intends to expand the
sales forces of both Medical Marketplace and Computer Marketplace as a
means to increase sales production and obtain better operating
leverage.
