ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

Reverse Stock Split

         At the 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 27, 1996,
the shareholders approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split. Unless otherwise
indicated, the information contained herein gives effect to the one-for-ten
reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock and the
reduction in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000
to 20,000,000.

Change of Name

         At a Special  Meeting of  Shareholders  held on April 2, 1996, the
shareholders of Judicate, Inc. approved the change of the Corporation's name
to Questron Technology, Inc. (the "Company" or "Questron"). The Board of
Directors of the Company believes that the change of name from Judicate, Inc.
to Questron Technology, Inc. more accurately reflects the change in focus and
strategic direction of the Company's business of supplying low technology
products to high technology industries through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Quest Electronic Hardware, Inc. ("Quest"). The Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Judicate of Philadelphia, Inc. ("Judicate"), continues
to provide alternative dispute resolution services ("ADR") to its clients.

Background

         The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1983 to provide a broad
range of ADR services, including non-binding mediations and binding
arbitrations to assist private parties in settling civil disputes. The
increasing awareness of ADR by the legal community and the resulting publicity
fostered a substantial number of competitors in the Company's marketing areas.
These competitive pressures adversely affected the profitability of the
business and Judicate, Inc. experienced substantial cash flow deficits and
operating losses. In September 1993, the Company instituted a vigorous cost
reduction program with a goal of establishing appropriate cost relationships
with revenues. This led to substantial downsizing of its activities, and by
December 31, 1994, all of Judicate, Inc.'s services and operations were
handled by Judicate of Philadelphia, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary) and the
business was operating with a substantially reduced staff of administrative
and sales personnel.

         The foregoing caused the Company to explore acquisition opportunities
in unrelated lines of business, and in November 1994, the Company announced
that it had agreed to acquire a fasteners and electronic hardware distribution
business.

         On March 31, 1995 the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Quest
Electronic Hardware, Inc. ("Quest"), a fasteners and electronic hardware
distribution business, in exchange for a 25% interest in the Company on a
fully diluted basis. The acquisition was completed pursuant to a Share
Acquisition Agreement (the "Share Agreement") dated November 29, 1994, by and
among Gulfstream Financial Group, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Gulfstream"),
Phillip D. Schwiebert, an individual ("Schwiebert"), Quest and the Company.
Pursuant to the Share Agreement, the Company issued to Gulfstream and
Schwiebert (the sole stockholders of Quest) 384,409 newly issued, fully-paid
and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, in exchange for all
of the issued and outstanding shares of common

                                        2

<PAGE>

stock of Quest owned by such stockholders. As required by the Share Agreement,
these shares represented 25% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company on
a fully diluted basis. The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Quest
using the purchase method of accounting.

         Simultaneously with the foregoing events, Quest acquired the
fasteners distribution business (the "Fasteners Business") of Arrow
Electronics, Inc., a New York corporation ("Arrow"). Such acquisition was
effected pursuant to a Purchase of Assets Agreement, dated November 29, 1994,
by and between Quest and Arrow (the "Purchase Agreement"). Under the Purchase
Agreement, Quest acquired the assets of Arrow used exclusively in connection
with Arrow's operation of the Fasteners Business. Such assets included, but
were not limited to, machinery, equipment, furniture, motor vehicles and other
personal property, inventories, rights under contracts (including accounts
receivable), agreements, leases, permits and licenses (to the extent
assignable), expensed items, price lists and other documents.

         The purchase price for the acquisition of the Fasteners Business was
a negotiated fixed price. The price consisted of a cash payment of $4,850,000
plus the assumption of certain liabilities of the Fasteners Business. As more
fully described below, the purchase price was funded through a combination of
proceeds from borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement (as defined
below), proceeds from the sale of the Company's securities under a private
placement, and available cash.

         Under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 31, 1995, by and
between Quest and Silicon Valley Bank (the "Loan Agreement"), Quest borrowed
$2.2 million to partially fund the acquisition of the Fasteners Business. In
order to secure the obligations of Quest under the Loan Agreement, the Company
entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement, dated March 31, 1995, with Silicon
Valley Bank (the "Bank") . Under the terms of said agreement, the Company
pledged to the Bank the shares of capital stock of Quest which the Company
held at such date and in which the Company may thereafter acquire an interest.
In connection with a subsequent increase in the amount which may be borrowed
by Quest under the Revolving Facility of the Loan Agreement, the Company
entered into a guarantee agreement whereby the Company guaranteed the
obligation of Quest under the Loan Agreement. In addition, Quest granted a
security interest in substantially all of its assets to the Bank. In addition,
Quest's obligations under the Loan Agreement have been guaranteed by
Gulfstream.

         Approximately $1.5 million of the funds used for the purchase of the
Fasteners Business were provided from the proceeds of the sale by the Company
of 116,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $15.00 per share to a
group of subscribers in a private placement. The balance of the cash portion
of the purchase price for the Fasteners Business was provided by available
cash.

         Pursuant to a Management Advisory and Consulting Agreement, dated
November 29, 1994, between the Company and Gulfstream, Gulfstream acts as an
advisor and consultant to the Company and Quest, and also provides certain
administrative services to the companies. In addition, pursuant to an Exchange
Agreement, dated November 8, 1996, upon the attainment of certain earnings
targets for the Company, Gulfstream will be entitled to receive options to
acquire additional shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant (See Item 11 -
"Exchange Agreement").

         Pursuant to an Employment Agreement, dated November 29, 1994, by and
between Quest and Dominic A. Polimeni ("Polimeni"), Quest agreed to employ
Polimeni, and Polimeni agreed to serve, as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer of Quest for a period of five (5) years

                                 3
<PAGE>


unless terminated pursuant to the terms of said agreement. Polimeni is also a
Director and the President of Gulfstream and is the Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

         Pursuant to an Employment Agreement, dated November 29, 1994, by and
between Quest and Schwiebert, Quest agreed to employ Schwiebert, and
Schwiebert agreed to serve, as President and Chief Operating officer of Quest
for a period of five (5) years unless terminated pursuant to the terms of said
agreement. In addition, pursuant to an Exchange Agreement, dated November 8,
1996, upon the attainment of certain earnings targets for the Company,
Schwiebert will be entitled to receive options to acquire additional shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock at the date of grant (See Item 11 - "Exchange Agreement").

         On March 10, 1997 the Company completed an offering of 1,150,000
Units at a price of $6.00 per unit. Each Unit consisted of one share of the
Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and one redeemable Series IV
Common Stock Purchase Warrant of the Company. The net proceeds of this
offering were used in part by the Company to acquire the business of Comp
Ware, Inc., a Delaware corporation which does business as Webb Distribution
("Webb") - (See "Webb Distribution" below). The remaining amount of net
proceeds was used to pay down debt of Webb and the Company, with any
additional remaining amounts retained by the Company for working capital.


QUEST ELECTRONIC HARDWARE, INC. ("QUEST")

         Quest is a specialized distributor of fasteners and electronic
hardware sold to electronic equipment manufacturers. The business serves
customers in the high technology electronic equipment manufacturing industry,
including leading computer, telecommunications, and medical instrumentation
companies. Prior to Quest's acquisition from Arrow, the fasteners business had
operated as a distributor of fasteners and electronic hardware for more than
twenty years.

         Management believes that Quest has the opportunity to become a
significant participant in a very fragmented industry dominated by so called
"mom and pop" type operations. Management's goal is to expand the business
through a combination of continued penetration of existing markets, expansion
into new markets (including geographic expansion), and acquisitions.

     Approximately 50% of Quest's sales are of industrial fasteners, 10% are
of "spacers" and "standoffs" (products used in conjunction with fasteners),
and the remaining sales are divided among a variety of products, including
plastic components, cable ties and accessories, drawer slides, connectors, and
design/prototype components. The demand for products offered by Quest is
relatively stable, with minimal technological change.

     Quest has developed a customer base consisting of over 250 active
customers. These customers demand quality service and in many cases are
willing to pay premium prices. Over 95% of Quest's sales are recurring sales
to existing customers. Currently, the business is concentrated in California,
Texas, Colorado and Nevada; however, Quest, principally through the Company's
acquisition of Webb, is beginning to expand its business into the eastern U.S.

                                     4
<PAGE>


Markets

         Quest's sales have increased at a compound annual growth rate of 17%
over the past four years. This sales growth was achieved principally from
word-of-mouth referrals without the benefit of a comprehensive marketing
program or geographic expansion. Management believes that Quest's future
growth will be achieved by implementing a comprehensive marketing plan,
including the present strategy of adding marketing programs responsive to
customer's specific requirements (e.g., bin replenishment programs), further
penetration of existing accounts, identification of new accounts, geographic
expansion, and acquisitions.

         Management estimates that the total U.S. market for fasteners and
related products is divided into two major segments: large manufacturers of
fasteners, who supply large industrial users directly; and distributors, who
service smaller industrial users. Such distributors, however, are increasingly
supplying larger accounts that can no longer be serviced effectively by the
manufacturers. The distribution side consists of distributors who provide a
rapid response capability to service customer needs and assist in selecting
appropriate fasteners. As a distributor, Quest's business falls into this
latter category, providing such services as bin stock replenishment programs.

Competition

         Quest principally competes with a number of small distributors
located within the markets it serves and, to a lesser extent, its own
suppliers. There are a small number of larger companies serving regional
geographic markets that also compete directly with Quest. Fasteners
distribution is very fragmented in terms of customers served, as well as the
products carried. Such fragmentation allows Quest to conduct its business with
service and support being more important to its customers than product price.
This fragmented market also provides an opportunity for industry consolidation
through acquisitions where meaningful economies of scale can be achieved,
thereby increasing the profits of any consolidating survivors.

Suppliers

         Quest carries approximately 20 basic product categories and multiple
line items within each of these categories Additional and/or new products or
suppliers are added only after they have been accepted in the marketplace, are
required by new or existing customers, and have the potential for making a
contribution to profits.

         Of the approximately 100 suppliers whose products are sold by Quest,
the ten largest account for approximately 30% of Quest's purchases, with the
largest supplier accounting for approximately 5%. Management does not regard
any one supplier of products to be essential to its operations and believes
that most of the products presently sold are available from other sources at
competitive prices.

         Quest's products are not subject to significant technological
obsolescence and generally represent standard parts manufactured by multiple
suppliers.

Customers

         Most of Quest's customers require delivery of products on schedules
which are generally not available on direct purchases from the manufacturer or
involve orders of insufficient size to be placed

                                     5
<PAGE>


directly with the manufacturer. The ten largest customers account for
approximately 50% of Quest's sales, with no one customer contributing more
than 16%.

Organization, Management and Employees

         Quest has a total of 44 employees, which include sales, purchasing,
marketing, accounting, operations and warehouse personnel. Quest's employees
are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement. Management believes
that its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.

         Quest uses its computer systems for accounting, inventory management
and order processing. All of Quest's transactions, which include order
processing, invoicing, and inventory receiving and shipping, are processed
locally by employees through their local computer system. The local system
permits each of the locations to process all of the their transactions as if
each location were an independent company. All order entry and shipping is
handled from the respective locations. Periodically, the transactions from
each local system are consolidated into a central computer system where all
billing, credit and collection functions are centralized and controlled by
Quest from its headquarters location in Boca Raton, Florida. In addition,
general accounting, payable and receivable functions, and related accounting
reports are produced in Boca Raton, Florida, from data generated by Quest's
computer system which reflect the transactions processed by each of the
locations. Similarly, Quest's payroll is processed centrally through a payroll
service. Quest is covered by its own insurance policies.

WEBB DISTRIBUTION

         Webb Distribution, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Connecticut
in May 1989 as a distributor of electronic hardware fasteners and components.
In February 1995, Webb Distribution, Inc. was merged into Comp Ware, Inc., a
newly created Delaware corporation, in a migratory merger and currently
conducts business under the name Webb Distribution. The business is
concentrated in the New England area. The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 2 Lowell Avenue, Winchester, MA 08190.

         The business of Webb is substantially similar to the business of
Quest, serving customers in the high technology equipment manufacturing
industry. Webb serves a variety of different markets on both a direct order
basis and in providing services such as bin stock replenishment. Along with
serving the original equipment manufacturers markets, Webb also serves
industrial, military, sheet metal and metal fabrication industries.

         With over 300 suppliers and many product categories and types, Webb
does not regard any one supplier of products as essential to its operations.
Webb, through its suppliers, is able to serve many market segments, as
evidenced by its more than 800 active industrial, commercial and military
customers.

         Webb's  annual sales  amounted to $7.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1996.

                                   6

<PAGE>

         Webb has a total of 28 employees, which include sales, purchasing,
marketing, accounting, operations and warehouse personnel. Webb's employees
are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement. Management believes
that its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.

         On March 10, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Comp
Ware, Inc. d/b/a Webb Distribution ("Webb"), a privately owned company. The
purchase price of Webb consisted of:

                  (i)      1,500,000 Series IV Warrants (the "Webb Warrants")
                           issued to the majority shareholder of Webb as a
                           down payment under the Stock Purchase Agreement;

                  (ii)     $3,250,000 in cash;

                  (iii)    Note A in the  amount  of  $375,000.  Principal
                           and  interest  at the  rate  of 10% are due and
                           payable 18 months from the Effective Date; and

                  (iv)     Note B in the amount $375,000. Principal and
                           interest at the rate of 10% are payable monthly
                           over five years from the Effective Date.

         The Company's obligations under the Notes may be reduced on a dollar
for dollar basis in the event and to the extent that the former majority
stockholder receives net proceeds greater than $375,000 from a sale of the
Webb Warrants. In addition, the Notes will be canceled in the event that the
Underwriter releases the lock-up in connection with a proposed transaction to
sell the Webb Warrants and the majority stockholder of Webb declines to sell
such warrants following such release.

         Such acquisition was effected pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of December 16, 1996. The Company will account for such acquisition
using the purchase method of accounting.

         The proceeds from the above Offering were used in part to finance the
cash portion of the purchase price of Webb. The remaining cash ($2,353,000)
was used to repay the outstanding balance on Quest's revolving credit facility
($750,000) and to repay the outstanding balance on Webb's revolving credit
facility ($1,000,000), with the remaining balance ($603,000) retained by the
Company for working capital.


JUDICATE OF PHILADELPHIA, INC. ("JUDICATE")

         The Company also provides alternative dispute resolution ("ADR")
services through its wholly owned subsidiary Judicate of Philadelphia, Inc.
("Judicate"). Judicate's ADR services afford an alternative to the often
overburdened public courts and to existing lay arbitration forums. Judicate's
arbitrations and mediations are heard by the judges currently on Judicate's
judicial panel ("Company Judges"). Company Judges are independent contractors
who make their services available to Judicate on a case-by-case basis.
Compensation to the Company Judges is based on the number of proceedings
conducted and the length of time of such proceedings. The Company Judges can
discontinue service on the judicial panel at any time and may provide services
to competing ADR providers. In addition, Judicate maintains a panel of
non-judicial arbitrators and mediators (almost exclusively practicing
attorneys) to hear its disputes.


                                    7
<PAGE>

         As of March 21, 1997, Judicate employed three full-time persons; one
in an executive position and two in sales, marketing, administrative, and
clerical activities. As of that date, Judicate had approximately 600 Company
Judges listed on its National Panel of Judges, enabling Judicate to offer
dispute resolution services in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. In addition, Judicate has compiled
a panel of 90 Company Neutrals (almost exclusively practicing attorneys), to
preside over its commercial mediations and arbitrations. The Company Judges
and Company Neutrals are independent contractors and are not employees of the
Company. Judicate's employees are not covered by any collective bargaining
agreement. Management believes that its relationship with its employees is
satisfactory.

         Questron Technology, Inc., in the aggregate of all its businesses,
has a total of 75 employees.

         MATTERS.

         The Company's Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market
under the symbol "QUST" following the name change which took effect on NASDAQ
effective as of April 9, 1996 (previously, the symbol was "JUDG").

         The following table sets forth the reported high and low bid
quotations (as adjusted for the one-for-ten reverse stock split) of the Common
Stock for the periods indicated. Such quotations reflect inter-dealer prices,

        1996:
        First Quarter                      $ 31.25              $ 15.00
        Second Quarter                     $ 18.75              $  7.50

         On March 21, 1997, the Company's Common Stock as reported on the
NASDAQ Small Cap Market system was $6.25 (closing bid price). On that date
there were approximately 1,000 holders of record of Common Stock (including
entities which hold stock in street name on behalf of other beneficial
owners).

         The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock to
date. The Company anticipates that for the foreseeable future it will follow a
policy of retaining earnings, if any, in order to finance the expansion and
development of its business. Payment of common stock dividends is within the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend upon the
earnings, capital requirements and operating and financial condition of the
Company, among other factors.

         The Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled, as and when declared
by the Board of Directors, to receive, in respect of the two years before the
Series B Preferred Stock is converted, an annual dividend per share payable
either in cash or shares of Common Stock, at the option of the Company, equal
to $0.115 or 2% of the $5.75 value of the Series B Preferred Stock included in
the Units.

         Other than the foregoing, the Company does not anticipate the
declaration or payment of any dividends in the foreseeable future. There can
be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the year ended December 31, 1996 compared with 1995.

         The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996
include the operating results of Quest Electronic Hardware, Inc. ("Quest"),
the Company's fasteners and electronic hardware distribution business, and the
operating results of the Company's alternative dispute resolution ("ADR")
business.

         The following summarizes the results of operations for each of the
Company's businesses and corporate for the year ended December 31, 1996:

</TABLE>

         The significant growth in the Company's revenues for year ended
December 31, 1996 over the year ended December 31, 1995 is due to the
acquisition of Quest on March 31, 1995. Revenues for Quest were $10,883,393
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $6,982,902 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, reflecting only nine months of sales for Quest. The annual
sales level of nearly $11 million in 1996 represents a record level of
revenues for the business. The growth in revenues of Quest is attributable to
its expansion into the Austin, Texas market as well as growth in the other
markets that it serves. The opening of a new branch in Austin is primarily
directed at servicing Applied Materials, which signed a three-year Master
Purchase Order and Sales Agreement with Quest on November 13, 1995. Revenues
of the ADR business declined by $123,504 and $567,772 for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, compared with the comparable periods
in the prior years. This decline reflects the effects of increased
competition, which continue to erode the Company's revenues. The Company is
continuing to evaluate its alternatives with respect to the future operation
of its ADR business, including the possible sale, disposition or
discontinuance of the business.

         The Company's operating income was $914,504 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 compared with operating income of $584,906 for the prior
year. The improvements over the year ended December 31, 1996 compare to the
prior year are primarily due to the operating income achieved by Quest of
$1,319,983 compared with operating income from Quest of $962,102 in the prior
year. Quest's


                                    14
<PAGE>


operating income of $1,319,983 for the year ended December 31,
1996 represents 12% of its revenues, a relationship which is slightly less
than the historical performance of the business primarily due to increased
operating costs associated with Quest's expansion into the Austin market
coupled with the temporary pause in the semiconductor industry experienced in
the second half of 1996.

         Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
amounted to $300,669 and $205,555, respectively. The increase in interest
expense principally reflects the full year cost of borrowings associated with
the acquisition of the fasteners and electronic hardware distribution business
(see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) compared with only
nine months' cost of borrowings for the prior year.

         The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1996
principally reflects state income tax provisions for states in which Quest
does business. The provision for income taxes also includes a minimal
provision for federal income taxes for federal alternative minimum tax. The
Company is not expected to have a regular federal income tax liability for
1996 as a result of the availability of net operating loss income tax
carryforwards of approximately $13.5 million as of December 31, 1995, expiring
in the years 1999 through 2010.

         Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 amounted to $549,452
compared with net income of $352,187 in the prior year. These improvements
reflect the increased operating income of Quest, partially reduced by
increases in interest expense, income taxes and the operating losses of the
ADR business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of December 31, 1996, the Company had $74,400 in cash and
short-term investments, compared to $39,358 as of December 31, 1995. As of
December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $3,042,762, compared
with working capital of $2,983,668 as of December 31, 1995.

         For the year ended December 31, 1996, the net cash provided by the
Company's operating activities amounted to $498,346, principally reflecting a
decrease in inventory, accounts receivable and other receivables, as well as
the profits of Quest offset in part by the increase in other assets and the
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Corporate expenses and the
operations of the Company's ADR business continued to use cash, although at a
reduced rate compared with prior years. As previously discussed, the Company
is continuing to evaluate its alternatives with respect to the future
operations of the ADR business and there can be no assurance that the Company
will continue its ADR operations.

         For the year ended December 31, 1996, the net cash used in the
Company's investing activities amounted to $55,479 for the acquisition of
fixed assets, primarily computer and warehouse equipment to support the
continued growth of Quest's fastener distribution business. The Company does
not have significant commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31,
1996 and no significant commitments are anticipated for 1997.

         For the year ended December 31, 1996, the net cash used by the
Company's financing activities amounted to $407,825, which consists of
advances drawn on its revolving credit facility of $12,500 less $412,500 of
principal repaid on the term debt and $7,825 of filing fees paid in connection
with the


                                   15
<PAGE>



offering of Units, consisting of one share of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock and one Series IV Common Stock Purchase Warrant, completed on March 10,
1997.

         At December 31, 1996 $960,000 was borrowed and outstanding under the
revolving facility. The remaining amount of the $1,500,000 revolving facility,
or $540,000, was fully available at December 31, 1996 for future working
capital needs. Amounts outstanding under the revolving facility bear interest
at a rate equal to 1.0% above the lender's prime rate. As of February 28,
1997, the interest rate on the amount outstanding under the revolving facility
was 9.25%. In order to secure the obligations of Quest under the revolving
facility and the related term loan facility under the loan and security
agreement with the lender, the Company entered into a stock pledge agreement
with the lender whereby the Company pledged to the lender the shares of
capital stock of Quest which the Company held at the date of such agreement
and any shares of Quest in which the Company may thereafter acquire an
interest. In addition, Quest granted a security interest in substantially all
of its assets to the lender and a major shareholder of the Company guaranteed
the obligations of Quest under the loan agreement.

         On March 10, 1997, the Company completed an Offering consisting of
Units comprised of: (i) newly issued shares of the Company's preferred stock
which are convertible into shares of Common Stock; and (ii) warrants to
purchase shares of Common Stock. The Offering generated net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $5.6 million. These proceeds were primarily used to
partially fund the acquisition of Comp Ware, Inc. d/b/a Webb Distribution in
New England and to repay the balance on Quest's revolving credit facility as
well as the balance on Webb's revolving credit facility.

         The Company intends to continue to identify and evaluate potential
merger and acquisition candidates engaged in lines of business complementary
to the fasteners and electronic hardware distribution business conducted by
Quest and Webb. While certain of such potential acquisition opportunities are
at various stages of consideration and evaluation, none is at any definitive
stage at this time. Management believes that its working capital, funds
available under its credit agreement, and funds generated from operations will
be sufficient to meets its obligations through 1997, exclusive of any cash
requirements which may come about as a result of other business acquisitions.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         Questron Technology, Inc. ("Questron" or the "Company"), through its
subsidiary, Quest Electronic Hardware, Inc. ("Quest"), is a specialized
distributor of fasteners and electronic hardware sold to electronic equipment
manufacturers and, through its subsidiary Judicate of Philadelphia, Inc.
("Judicate"), a supplier of alternate dispute resolution ("ADR") services.
Quest was formed on October 13, 1994. On March 31, 1995, Quest purchased the
fasteners distribution business from Arrow Electronics, Inc. ("Arrow"). Prior
to this business acquisition, Quest had no operating activities of its own,
accordingly, the consolidated results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1995 include only 9 months of operating activities for Quest.
Simultaneously with this business acquisition, the then shareholders of Quest
completed a common stock exchange with Questron, in which Quest became a 100%
owned subsidiary of Questron (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis of Presentation - At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on
December 27, 1996, the shareholders approved a one-for-ten reverse stock
split. The information in the financial statements has been restated to
reflect the reverse stock split.

         Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and all its majority owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers certain highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. At December 31, 1996, the Company did not have any cash
equivalents.

         Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

         Concentration of Credit Risk - The Company extends credit to its
customers which results in accounts receivable arising from its normal
business activities. The Company does not require collateral from its
customers, but routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and,
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, believes that
its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Such estimate of the financial
strength of such customers may be subject to change in the near term.

         During the years ended  December  31, 1996 and  December  31,  1995,
sales to one customer of Quest amounted to approximately $1,800,000 and
$1,000,000, respectively, or approximately 16% and 14% of revenue,
respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer amounted to approximately
$263,000 in 1996 and $273,000 in 1997.

         Inventories - Inventories, which consist solely of finished products,
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.

                             QUESTRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


         Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to earnings as
incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed, their costs and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the
resulting gains or losses are included in operations. Depreciation and
amortization are recorded using the straight-line method over the shorter of
the estimated lives of the related asset or the remaining lease term.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:

                  Office Equipment                        5 Years
                  Computer Equipment                      5 Years
                  Furniture and Fixtures                  7 Years
                  Leasehold Improvements                  5 Years

         Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Business Acquired - The cost in
excess of net assets of business acquired is being amortized on a straight
line basis over 40 years. The Company has concluded that the cost in excess of
net assets of business acquired has an indeterminable life based on historic,
current and projected operating results of the business acquired (see Note 2
of notes to consolidated financial statements). The Company's policy is to
record an impairment loss against the balance of the net unamortized cost in
excess of net assets of business acquired in the period when it is determined
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. This
determination is based on an evaluation of such factors as the occurrence
of a significant event, a significant change in the environment in which the
business operates, or if the expected future non-discounted cash flow of the
business would become less than the carrying value of the asset.

         Net income per common share - Net income per common share is based on
the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding. Common share equivalents amounted to 3,564 and 226,257 for 1996
and 1995, respectively. Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis
does not result in material dilution and, accordingly, is not presented.

         Advertising and Marketing - Advertising and marketing expense,
primarily comprised of printed media published in trade publications, is
expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense amounted to $17,409
and $1,677 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         Stock Options and Similar Equity Instruments - On January 1, 1996,
the Company adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," for stock options and similar equity instruments (collectively
"Options") issued to employees and Directors, however, the Company will
continue to apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for options
issued to employees prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" rather than the fair value
based method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 also
applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to
acquire goods and 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 instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

2.  ACQUISITION OF ELECTRONIC HARDWARE DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS

         As of the close of business on March 31, 1995, the Company acquired
100% of the stock of Quest, a privately owned Company, in exchange for a 25%
interest in the Company on a fully diluted basis. Such acquisition was
effected pursuant to a share acquisition agreement, under which the Company
issued 384,409 newly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common
stock of the Company, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of Quest. Simultaneously with the foregoing events, Quest
purchased the fasteners distribution business of Arrow for $4,850,000 in cash,
pursuant to a Purchase of Assets Agreement, dated as of November 29, 1994, by
and between Quest and Arrow (the "Purchase Agreement"). The purchase was
funded by a capital contribution from Questron of $2,850,000 (see Note 5 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and borrowings by Quest under a
loan and security agreement with a bank (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). Under the Purchase Agreement, Quest acquired the net
assets of Arrow used exclusively in connection with Arrow's operations of the
fasteners distribution business and assumed all stated liabilities associated
with the business. Such assets included all accounts receivable of the
business, inventories, and certain furniture and equipment. The stated
liabilities assumed were principally trade payables to suppliers of the
business. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, effective
March 31, 1995. The following summarizes the fair value of the net assets
acquired and the related cost thereof:

          Cash                                              $         4,500

          Inventories                                             1,970,756
          Property and equipment                                     57,427

                                                                  $  1,785,000
                                                                 ==============

         Pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the "Loan
Agreement"), dated March 31, 1995, with a bank, Quest borrowed $2.2 million
under a term loan facility to partially fund the acquisition of the fasteners
distribution business. The Loan Agreement also provides for Quest to be able
to borrow for working capital purposes under an annually renewable two-year
revolving facility, loans of up to $1,500,000. The Loan Agreement contains
a provision for the calculation of a borrowing base, which determines the
amount of borrowings available under the revolving facility. At December 31,
1996, Quest had unused borrowing capacity of $540,000 under the Loan Agreement.
The bank's prime rate was 8.25% for the years ended December 31, 1996.

         In order to secure the obligations of Quest under the Loan Agreement,
Questron entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of March 31, 1995,
with the bank, under which the Company pledged to the bank the shares of
capital stock of Quest which the Company held at such date and in which the
Company may thereafter acquire an interest. In addition, Quest granted a
security interest in substantially all of its assets to the bank and a major
shareholder of Questron (see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements) guaranteed the obligations of Quest under the Loan agreement. The
Loan Agreement restricts the payment of cash dividends by Quest to the Company
and certain other payments, limits long-term and short-term borrowings of
Quest, and requires that debt service coverage, net worth, tangible net worth,
the ratio of debt to net worth, and the ratio of quick assets (cash and
accounts receivable) to current liabilities be maintained at certain
designated levels by Quest. Quest is in compliance with all such requirements
of the Loan Agreement.

         The aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt under the Loan
Agreement for each of the five years in the period ending December 31, 2001
are : 1997-$550,000; 1998-$1,510,000; 1999-$275,000; 2000-$ 0; and 2001-$ 0.

         Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and
equipment for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $98,907 and
$68,729, respectively. At December 31, 1996, all property and equipment
represent assets used in the business of Quest. All property and equipment of
the ADR business have been written off in connection with the downsizing and
restructuring of that business.


5.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 27, 1996, the
shareholders approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split. The following
information reflects the effects of the reverse stock split.

         As of December 31, 1996, the Company was authorized to issue
20,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 of preferred stock. The
outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

         In March and April 1995, the Company, through a placement agent,
consummated the sale of fifty-eight units of its securities at a gross sales
price of $30,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of 2,000 shares of Company
common stock. The net proceeds to the Company, after expenses associated with
the placement of $271,098, were $1,468,902. Such net proceeds, together with
available cash, were used to make a capital contribution to Quest at March 31,
1995, in order to provide Quest with the balance of the funds necessary to
complete the acquisition of the fasteners distribution business from Arrow. In
connection with this sale of securities, the placement agent also received a
portion of its fee in the form of 11,600 options to purchase Company common
stock at an exercise price of $35.00 per share. These options expire March 31,
2000.

         In connection with a November 1994 private placement, 220,000 Series
III Warrants were issued. Each Series III Warrant entitles the registered
holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per
share. The Series III warrants expire November 14, 2004, and any warrant not
exercised by that date will be null and void. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
there were 4,000 Series III Warrants outstanding.

         In December 1995, in connection with certain obligations amounting to
$355,478 owed to the Company by two of its former officers and directors, the
Company received 11,849 shares of its common stock in full satisfaction of
such amounts owed. Such shares are reflected as treasury stock.

6.  STOCK OPTIONS

    1992 Stock Option Plan

         In June 1992, the Board unanimously approved the adoption of the

1993. Under the 1992 Plan, both incentive stock options ("ISOs") and non-

Internal Revenue Code of 1986) (the "Code"), or a Non-Qualified Option. All
non-management employees were eligible to receive ISOs under the 1992 Plan.
All non-management employees and non-employee consultants and Company Judges
were eligible to receive Non-Qualified Options under the 1992 Plan.

the adoption of the 1994 Director Non-qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"),
under which options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock may be
granted to non-executive directors of the Company. Under the Plan options are
to be granted to each eligible director at the rate of 1,500 per year. Awards

                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


         If the Company had accounted for the issuance of all options pursuant
to the fair value based method of SFAS No. 123, the Company would have recorded
compensation expense totaling $50,627 and $96,210 for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, and the Company's net
income and net income per share would have been as follows:

                                         1996         1995

	 The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the
fair value based method with the following weighted average assumptions for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995:

                                December 31, 1996       December 31, 1995

Volatility                          94.56%                      90%

         The weighted average fair value of options at date of grant using
 the fair value based method during 1996 and 1995 is estimated at $16.90 and
 $21.40, respectively.

         No compensation cost was recognized for stock-based employee awards.

7.  RETIREMENT PLAN

         Quest has a defined contribution plan for eligible employees, which
qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Quest's
contribution to the plan, which is based on a specified percentage of employee
contributions, amounted to $43,249 in 1996 and $24,820 in 1995.


8.  LEASE COMMITMENTS

         The Company leases certain office and warehouse space under
non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2000. Rental
expenses of all non-cancelable operating leases amounting to $189,252 and
$112,249 was charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Aggregate minimum rental commitments under all
non-cancelable operating leases approximate $350,495 as of December 31, 1996.
Such commitments on annual basis are as follows:

                   Years ending December 31,
                        1997                                   $   184,812

9.  INCOME TAXES

         The Company had net operating loss carryforwards for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and, therefore, no regular federal income taxes have
been provided. The provision for income taxes included in the consolidated
statement of income is principally for state income taxes to which the Company
and its subsidiaries are subject. The provision for income taxes also includes
a minimal provision for federal income taxes for the federal alternative
minimum tax.

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" requires the establishment of a deferred tax
asset for all deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards
and a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences.
Accordingly, no net deferred tax asset or liability is reflected in the
consolidated financial statements.





         As of December 31, 1996, the Company had a deferred tax asset of
approximately $175,000 related to its operating loss carryforwards.
Additionally, at the same date, the Company had a deferred tax liability of
approximately the same amount arising from the difference in the amortization
period of goodwill.

         A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the Company's
effective tax rate is as follows:

                                              Year Ended December 31,
                                              -----------------------

                                              -----------  ----------
Federal statutory rate                             34%          34%

10.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Effective December 31, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments", which requires disclosing fair value, to the extent
practicable, for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in
the balance sheet. Fair value of the financial instruments disclosed in the
balance sheet is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be
realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax
consequences of realization or settlement. The following table summarizes
financial instruments by individual balance sheet accounts as of December 31,
1996:


                                             Carrying

         For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables and payables, and short-term debt, it was
assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the near
term maturities of such obligations. The fair value of long-term debt was
determined based

on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar
remaining maturities, which amount approximates its carrying value.

11.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Company has entered into a five-year management advisory and
consulting agreement with Gulfstream Financial Group, Inc. ("Gulfstream"), a
company in which the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Questron, who is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quest, is a
50% owner. Under the terms of such agreement, Gulfstream acts as an advisor
and consultant to the Company and Quest, and also provides certain
administrative services to the companies. Such advisory and consulting
services are directed principally at the expansion of Quest's business through
the identification of new marketing opportunities and potential acquisitions,
as well as the procurement of financing as needed by the Company and Quest.
For such services Gulfstream is paid a fee of $150,000 per year. In addition,
upon the attainment of certain earnings targets for the Company, Gulfstream
will be entitled to receive options to acquire additional shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock
at the date of grant. Gulfstream presently owns 16.9% of the Company's common
stock outstanding and has guaranteed the obligations of Quest under its Loan
Agreement.


12.  LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVES

         Quest has entered into a five-year employment agreement with its
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of such employment
agreement, Quest has agreed to compensate this individual with regular salary
at the rate of $100,000 per year. There are no other bonus compensation
arrangements currently in effect for this individual.

         Quest has also entered into a five-year employment agreement with its
President and Chief Operating Officer. Under the terms of such employment
agreement, Quest has agreed to compensate this individual with regular salary
at the rate of $100,000 per year, plus bonus compensation based on the
attainment of certain operating goals at the rate of $15,000 per quarter. In
addition, upon the attainment of certain earnings targets for the Company,
this individual will be entitled to receive options to acquire additional
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
the Common Stock at the date of grant. This individual presently owns 8.8% of
the Company's common stock outstanding and has agreed with Gulfstream to
participate in its guarantee of the obligations of Quest under its Loan
Agreement, however, only to the extent of his stock holdings in the Company.


13.  NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

         The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities after December 31, 1996.
The provisions of SFAS No. 125 must be applied prospectively, retroactive
application is prohibited, and early application is not allowed. SFAS No. 125
supersedes SFAS No. 77, "Reporting by Transferors for Transfers of Receivables
with Recourse." While both SFAS No. 125 and SFAS No. 77 require a surrender of
"control" of financial assets to recognize a sale, the SFAS No. 125
requirements of sale are generally more stringent. SFAS

                FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


No. 125 is not expected to have a material  impact on the Company because they
have not been recognizing sales under SFAS No. 77 and will also not be under
SFAS No. 125. Some provisions of SFAS No. 125, which are unlikely to apply to
the Company, have been deferred by the FASB.

         The FASB has issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" and SFAS No.
129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure." Both are effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
SFAS No. 128 simplifies the computation of earnings per share by replacing the
presentation of primary earnings per share with a presentation of basic
earnings per share. The statement requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted earnings per share by entities with complex capital structures. Basic
earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar
to fully diluted earnings per share.

         While the Company has not analyzed SFAS No. 128 sufficiently to
determine its long-term impact on per share reported amounts, SFAS No. 128
should not have a significant effect on historically reported per share income
amounts.

         SFAS No. 129 does not change any previous disclosure requirements,
but rather consolidates existing disclosure requirements for ease of
retrieval.

14.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

OFFERING OF UNITS - On March 10, 1997, the Company completed an Offering of
1,150,000 Units of its securities, each Unit consisting of one share of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") and one Series IV
Common Stock Purchase Warrant ("Series IV Warrant"), at a gross sales price of
$6.00 per unit. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting
discounts and other expenses of the Offering, were $5,603,000.

ACQUISITION OF WEBB DISTRIBUTION - On March 10, 1997, the Company acquired
100% of the stock of Comp Ware, Inc. d/b/a Webb Distribution ("Webb"), a
privately owned company. The purchase price of Webb consisted of:

                  (i)      1,500,000 Series IV Warrants (the "Webb Warrants")
                           issued to the majority shareholder of Webb as a
                           down payment under the Stock Purchase Agreement;

                  (ii)     $3,250,000 in cash;

                  (iii)    Note A in the  amount  of  $375,000.  Principal  and
                           interest  at the  rate  of 10% are due and
                           payable 18 months from the Effective Date; and

                  (iv)     Note B in the amount $375,000. Principal and
                           interest at the rate of 10% are payable monthly
                           over five years from the Effective Date.

         The Company's obligations under the Notes may be reduced on a dollar
for dollar basis in the event and to the extent that the former majority
stockholder receives net proceeds greater than $375,000 from a sale of the
Webb Warrants. In addition, the Notes will be canceled in the event that the
Underwriter releases the lock-up in connection with a proposed transaction to
sell the Webb Warrants and the majority stockholder of Webb declines to sell
such warrants following such release.

         Such acquisition was effected pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of December 16, 1996. The Company will account for such acquisition
using the purchase method of accounting.

         The proceeds from the above Offering were used in part to finance the
cash portion of the purchase price of Webb. The remaining cash ($2,353,000)
was used to repay the outstanding balance on Quest's revolving credit facility
($750,000) and to repay the outstanding balance on Webb's revolving credit
facility ($1,000,000), with the remaining balance ($603,000) retained by the
Company for working capital.

         The following unaudited pro forma information presents the results of

Distribution, treating the latter as if it were a subsidiary of Questron for

completed as of January 1, 1996 or results which may occur in the future.

        equivalents outstanding                                       3,456,652


         The business of Webb is substantially similar to the business of
Quest, serving customers in the high technology equipment manufacturing
industry. Webb serves a variety of different markets on both a direct order
basis and in providing services such as bin stock replenishment. Along with
serving the original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") markets, Webb also
serves industrial, military, sheet metal and metal fabrication industries.

         With over 300 suppliers and many product categories and types, Webb
does not regard any one supplier of products as essential to its operations.
Webb, through its suppliers, is able to serve many market segments, as
evidenced by its more than 800 active industrial, commercial and military
customers.

         Webb's annual sales amounted to $7.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Other than the 1994 Director Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
described below, the Company does not have a standard policy regarding
compensation of members of the Board of Directors. Other than as reported
below, the members of the Board of Directors did not receive compensation for
their services as such during the year ended December 31, 1996.

THE 1994 DIRECTOR NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN

         On January 26, 1994, the Board of Directors (the "Board") adopted,
subject to stockholder approval, the above captioned plan and in February 1996
amended the plan so as to change the annual date of the grant to the first
Wednesday of February. On April 2, 1996, The 1994 Director Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan was approved by shareholders at a special meeting. The plan, as
amended and approved, is hereinafter referred to as the "1994 Plan." Pursuant
to the terms of the 1994 Plan, options for an aggregate of 3,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock may be granted.

         All non-employee directors shall receive an option to purchase 1,500
shares of the Common Stock of the Company on the first Wednesday of February
in each calendar year at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per
share of the Common Stock on that date. Such options shall be exercisable
immediately for a period of 10 years from date of grant unless terminated
earlier pursuant to the terms of the plan. Under the 1994 Plan, 12,000 options
have been granted to date at exercise prices of $11.25 per share and $24.06
per share.

1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

         At the annual meeting of stockholders held on December 27, 1996, the
stockholders approved a 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"). Under the
1996 Plan, either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options may
be granted; however, the former may be granted only to employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Plan, a total
of 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (as adjusted to reflect the
one-for-ten reverse split) will be reserved and available for distribution as
awards under the 1996 Plan.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

         The Board of Directors intends to establish an employee stock
ownership plan during fiscal 1997.

         As of the close of business on March 31, 1995, the Company acquired
from Gulfstream Financial Group, Inc. ("Gulfstream"), a Florida corporation
owned by Dominic A. Polimeni and Joan R. Gubitosi, and from Phillip D.
Schwiebert all of the outstanding capital stock of Quest Electronic Hardware,
Inc. ("Quest"). Quest, in turn, simultaneously acquired the fasteners
distribution business of Arrow Electronics, Inc. These events resulted in
changes in ownership of the capital stock of the Company which may have
affected the control of the Company. These changes included the following:

         a.       Gulfstream  became the  direct  beneficial  owner of 22.10%
                  of common  stock,  par value  $.001 per share
                  ("Common Stock"), of the Company outstanding at March 31,
                  1995;

         b.       Dominic A. Polimeni ("Polimeni"), a Director, Executive
                  Officer and principal stockholder of Gulfstream, and
                  Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
                  Officer of Quest, which became a subsidiary of the Company,
                  was named President and


                                       43

<PAGE>


                  Chief Operating Officer of the Company and was subsequently
                  named to his current position of Chairman, President and
                  Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and

        c.        Phillip D. Schwiebert ("Schwiebert"), the President and
                  Chief Operating Officer of Quest, became the beneficial
                  owner of 11.60% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company
                  outstanding at March 31, 1995.

         Subsequent to the foregoing events, certain principal stockholders of
the Company (Jordan R. Belfort, Richard Bronson, Elliot Lowenstern and Daniel
Porush), who, in the aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 45.00% of the
Company's outstanding stock, disposed of the bulk of these shares. In
addition, the Board of Directors of the Company has undergone a substantial
restructuring by reason of the resignation of four (4) former directors and
the election of Messrs. Adler, Gubitosi and McSherry to the Board.

EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

         In connection with the Webb acquisition and the related Offering of
Units, Gulfstream and Philip Schwiebert, shareholders of the Company, entered
into an Exchange Agreement dated as of November 8, 1996 (the "Exchange
Agreement") pursuant to which Gulfstream and Schwiebert have agreed to
exchange their rights to receive warrants to purchase up to 10% and 5%,
respectively, of the Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 1995. Based upon
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (after giving
effect to the exercise of all the outstanding options and warrants), the
foregoing represented the right of Gulfstream and Schwiebert to acquire up to
264,172 and 132,086 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at $1.00 per share
(after giving effect to the one-for-ten reverse split).

         The Board of Directors deemed it desirable to enter into the Exchange
Agreement by reason of the fact that the rights previously granted to
Gulfstream and Schwiebert would have resulted in substantial charges to the
Company's earnings by reason of accounting rules now in effect and would have
resulted in substantial dilution to the other stockholders. Under the options,
warrants and rights granted under the Exchange Agreement, no charge to
earnings should result as a result of their being exercisable at the fair
market value at the date of grant in lieu of $1.00 per share. In addition,
pursuant to the Exchange Agreement the Company has substantially increased the
pre-tax income targets needed to earn certain of the awards from $1.4 million,
$1.8 million, $2.2 million and $2.6 million to $2.5 million, $3.5 million and
$4.5 million. Under the prior arrangements, one half of the awards would have
been earned upon completion of the acquisition of Webb, thereby resulting in a
substantial charge to earnings and substantial dilution to stockholders. Under
the Exchange Agreement, no awards which are conditioned on meeting the pre-tax
income targets set forth below will be earned until the $2.5 million pre-tax
income target is met or exceeded. Finally, although Gulfstream and Schwiebert
have the opportunity to earn a substantially greater number of shares, the
amount of consideration which will have to be paid for such shares has
substantially increased as well. Based upon current market prices, the price
to be paid per share acquired will have increased under the Exchange Agreement
from $1.00 to at least $3.75.

         Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Gulfstream and Schwiebert
received the following in exchange for the rights previously granted under
their agreements.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         As of the close of business on March 31, 1995, the Company acquired
from Gulfstream Financial Group, Inc. (a Florida corporation owned by Dominic
A. Polimeni and Joan R. Gubitosi) and Phillip D. Schwiebert all of the
outstanding capital stock of Quest Electronic Hardware, Inc. This transaction
and related transactions are described more fully under "Item 1. Business",
"Item 7. Financial Statements", "Item 10. Executive Compensation", and "Item
11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management", included
elsewhere herein. Pursuant to a Management and Advisory Consulting Agreement,
the Company has agreed to compensate Gulfstream for advisory and consulting
services at the rate of $150,000 per year. This agreement expires on March 31,
2000 and can be terminated by either party on 90 days notice.

         In April 1995, the Company loaned Stephen J. Drescher, then Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, $156,250 in connection with the
exercise by Mr. Drescher of options to purchase Common Stock of the Company.
The obligation to repay this loan was satisfied by Gulfstream and Schwiebert
by the contribution of shares of Common Stock to the Company in connection
with Mr. Drescher's resignation in January 1996 as an officer and director of
the Company.

         In April 1995, the Company loaned Paul L. Burton, then Executive Vice
President and a Director of the Company, $125,000 in connection with the
exercise by Mr. Burton of options to purchase Common Stock of the Company. The
obligation to repay this loan and to repay $69,228 of expenses paid by the
Company on Mr. Burton's behalf was satisfied by Gulfstream and Schwiebert by
the contribution of shares of Common Stock to the Company in connection with
Mr. Burton's resignation in January 1996 as an officer and director of the
Company.
