        ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS
        
        On July 24, 1996, AlphaNet Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") consummated
the acquisition of certain assets of Lior, Inc. ("Lior"), a MicroAge affiliate
located in Paramus, New Jersey.  The Company purchased the entire customer list
and outstanding purchase orders of Lior for an aggregate purchase price of up
to $1,000,000, of which $900,000 was paid at closing and $100,000 may be due in
January 1997 if certain former Lior sales persons remain employed by the
Company through such date.  The Company funded the purchase price from proceeds
raised in its initial public offering.  In determining the purchase price, the
company considered, among other factors, the past and projected revenues
generated from such customers and the value of the acquired purchase orders. 
The Company did not assume any liabilities of Lior, other than the obligations
to perform under the acquired purchase orders and certain service contracts. 
The Company acquired such assets from Stan Gang, the Company's President and
Chief Executive Officer, who had purchased such assets for the same
consideration from Lior on July 18, 1996 pending approval of the transaction by
the Company's Board of Directors.  In connection with such transaction,
effective July 1, 1996, 26 former employees of Lior, including 7 sales persons
and 8 technical personnel joined the Company.
