ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

                  CHS Electronics (the "Company") conducts operations in Spain
         through a number of subsidiaries, one of which is Memory Set S.A.
         ("Memory Set"), which it agreed to purchase in July 1998. The Company
         is in default under the purchase agreement because the Company has not
         paid the balance of the purchase price of approximately $74.4 million.
         The Company believes the unpaid balance of the purchase price
         represents approximately 91.5% of Memory Set and the amounts already
         paid represent approximately 8.5%. The Company agreed to submit to
         arbitration the issue of the portion of Memory Set which the Company
         will retain as a result of the cancellation of its purchase agreement
         for Memory Set. The Company may cure its default under the purchase
         agreement by paying the balance of the purchase price at any point
         prior to completion of the arbitration. During the first six months of
         1999, revenues attributable to Memory Set were $122.8 million. The
         Company will record an estimated loss of $20.0 million on the transfer
         and will treat its ongoing interest in Memory Set under the cost method
         of accounting.

                  In addition, on October 4, 1999, the Company conveyed 80% of
         the shares of Arena Bilgisayar Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. and Armada
         Bilgisayar A.S., the Company's subsidiaries operating in Turkey, to the
         original owners in exchange for a release of the Company's obligation
         to pay the balance of the purchase price of approximately $42.7
         million. The sellers granted the Company an option to reacquire those
         interests at any time prior to October 4, 2000 or a 60-day period after
         the Company receives new cash investments of at least $200 million. The
         Company also conveyed all of its interest in ARC Espana Cartera, S.A.,
         another subsidiary operating in Spain, to the original owners in
         exchange for a release of the Company's obligation to pay the balance
         of the purchase price of approximately $29.3 million. During the first
         six months of 1999, the revenues attributable to these three
         subsidiaries totaled approximately $141.6 million. The Company will
         realize an aggregate loss on the sale of these three subsidiaries of
         approximately $27.6 million.
