ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

Florida Reincorporation

     On October 22, 1997, Dataflex Corporation, a New Jersey corporation
("Dataflex New Jersey"), completed the change in its state of incorporation from
New Jersey to Florida (the "Reincorporation") through a merger (the "Merger") of
Dataflex New Jersey with and into its wholly-owned-subsidiary, Dataflex
Reincorporation, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company").  Appropriate 
consents and approvals were obtained for the Reincorporation, including the 
approval of the shareholders of Dataflex New Jersey on September 18, 1997, at 
the annual meeting of the shareholders (the "Annual Meeting").  As the 
surviving corporation in the Merger, the Company succeeded to all the business,
properties, assets and liabilities of Dataflex New Jersey.  In connection with 
the consummation of the Merger, the Company changed its name to "Dataflex 
Corporation."  As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Dataflex 
New Jersey's common stock, no par value ("Dataflex New Jersey Common Stock"), 
was automatically converted into one share of the Company's common stock, no 
par value ("Company Common Stock").  Each stock certificate representing issued
and outstanding shares of Dataflex New Jersey Common Stock will continue to 
represent the same number of shares of Company Common Stock.  The Company 
Common Stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National 
Market without interruption under the symbol "DFLX."  A description of the 
capital stock of the Company is set forth in Dataflex New Jersey's Proxy 
Statement dated August 25, 1997, for the Annual Meeting, under the caption 
"Proposal No. 1 - Reincorporation of the Company from New Jersey to Florida," 
which description is incorporated herein by reference.
