Item 2.  Disposition of Assets

      On November 18,  1998,  Proformix  Systems,  Inc.  ("Registrant")  and its
approximately  98%  owned  subsidiary  Proformix,  Inc.  entered  into an  Asset
Purchase  Agreement  and a Marketing  and  Development  Agreement  with  1320236
Ontario,  Inc.,  d/b/a  Office  Specialty  ("OS"),  a publicly  traded  Canadian
designer,  manufacturer  and  distributor of office  furniture.  Pursuant to the
agreements,  OS acquires  Proformix,  Inc.'s hardware  product line comprised of
ergonomic keyboard platform products and accessories,  and all related inventory
and production  tooling and warehousing  assets,  and all intellectual  property
rights  including the Proformix  name.  This sale  represents a large portion of
Proformix, Inc.'s and the Registrant's assets. In consideration for the sale and
certain ongoing support services,  the Registrant will receive (i) $1,266,000 in
cash;  (ii) a contingent  payment of 18% of the net revenue  realized by OS from
the  acquired  assets  between the closing  date and April 30,  1999;  and (iii)
subsequent to April 30, 1999, an annual contingent  payment calculated at 10% of
net annual revenue realized by OS from the acquired assets. Should OS not attain
target sales of $8.2 million from the acquired  assets for the year ending April
30, 2000, OS shall pay the Registrant 6% of net revenue for that year. Should OS
again not meet the target sales amount  ($10,660,000)  from the acquired  assets
for the year ending April 30, 2001, OS will not owe the  Registrant  any payment
and the Registrant's right to future contingent  payments shall cease.  Further,
OS  will  grant  the  Registrant  a ten  year  royalty-free  license  to use the
Proformix  name in  connection  with the sales  and  marketing  of  Registrant's
proprietary ergonomic software products.  The Registrant will continue to market
its proprietary software under the Proformix label.
