ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On July 26, 2001, Perot Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("PSC"), through two wholly-owned acquisition subsidiaries (the "Acquisition
Subs"), completed the acquisition of the business of Advanced Receivables
Strategy, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("ARS"), Advanced Receivables Strategy -
Government Accounts Division, Inc. ("GAD"), Meridian Healthcare Staffing, LLC, a
Tennessee limited liability company ("Meridian"), Cash-Net, LLC, a Tennessee
limited liability company ("Cash-Net") (ARS, GAD, Meridian and Cash-Net are
collectively, the "Companies"), by acquiring substantially all of the assets of
the Companies (the "Assets") in exchange for (i) $52,400,000 paid in cash at the
closing (subject to adjustment for working capital balances of the Companies),
(ii) the assumption by the Acquisition Subs of certain liabilities of the
Companies and (iii) up to four additional payments to be paid in cash, or at the
option of PSC, half in common stock of PSC, such payments being contingent on
the business of the Companies achieving certain levels of financial performance
during the three year period following the closing. Such contingent payments, if
any, may not exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate. The purchase price was
determined using a combination of discounted cash flow and net book value
analyses. The consideration for the purchase of the Assets was determined by
arm's-length negotiations between representatives of PSC and the Companies.

         The Assets include contractual rights, accounts receivable, workforce
in place, equipment, fixtures and other tangible and intangible assets. The sale
was consummated pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated June 8, 2001,
among PSC, the Acquisition Subs, the Companies and the owners of the Companies
named therein. The cash consideration paid at closing for the Assets was from
PSC's cash on hand.

         The Companies are engaged in the business of providing accounts
receivable management and related office solutions to hospitals and hospital
related clinics. PSC will use the Assets to continue operating the business as
previously operated by the Companies.
