ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On May 24, 1996, Builders Warehouse Association, Inc., (the "Company"), through
its newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary, PDP Acquisition Corp., entered into
an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") under which the Company acquired
all of the assets of Pacific Data Products, Inc. ("PDP"). The Company agreed to
a payment of $350,000 in cash and an assumption of PDP's approximately $2.4
million bank debt as total consideration for all of PDP's assets, including
cash, accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets and intangibles such as
patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as certain specified business
agreements. The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of all
terms and conditions contained in the Agreement. Reference is made to Exhibit A
attached hereto for all terms and conditions of the Agreement.

PDP is a San Diego-based designer and manufacturer of shared printer network
adapters, servers and products such as font cartridges and memory modules. All
assets acquired will be used in the normal activities of the business of PDP
Acquisition. No previous relationship existed between PDP and the Company or
their officers or directors.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

PDP Acquisition Corp. also entered into an agreement with Coast Business Credit
for a $5 million credit facility secured by all of PDP Acquisition Corp.'s
acquired assets. Builders Warehouse Association, Inc., provided for an
injection of $500,000 working capital to PDP Acquisition, as well as a limited
guarantee of $750,000 to facilitate the credit facility. After using $2.4
million for the purchase of PDP, PDP Acquisition has $2.6 million available for
growth and acquisition.
