Item 2.  Acquisition and Disposition of Assets
         -------------------------------------

         On May 20, 1997, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
dated as of May 1, 1997 (the "Reorganization Agreement") among Splash Technology
Holdings, Inc. (the "Registrant" or "Splash"), SP Acquisition Corporation, a
California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merger
Sub"), Quintar Holdings Corporation, and the related Agreement of Merger dated
as of May 20, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement"), Merger Sub was merged with and into
Quintar (the "Merger"), and Quintar, as the surviving corporation, became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. As part of the Merger, Quintar
changed its name to SP-Quintar Corporation. The Merger was effected by the
filing of the Merger Agreement with the California Secretary of State on May 30,
1997.

         Splash develops, produces and markets color servers that provide an
integrated link between desktop computers and digital color laser copiers and
enable such copiers to provide high quality, high speed, networked color
printing. These hybrid systems, consisting of color servers and digital color
laser copiers (referred to as connected or multifunction copiers), support
multiple uses including image scanning, image manipulation, printing and
photocopying. Splash's products feature advanced color correction, color
calibration and separations support, ease of use, time-saving workflow
functionality, simulation of many color monitors and printing presses and
automatic correction for certain printing workflow problems.

         Quintar designs, manufactures and markets embedded controllers for
desktop color printers, as well as proprietary servers for high-speed,
multifunction monochrome and color printers and copiers.

         The consideration paid by the Registrant in the Merger consisted of
aggregate cash payments of approximately $11.5 million paid at closing to
Quintar's stock and warrant holders and contingent earn-out payments of up to
$3.2 million. The cash consideration paid at closing was paid out of Splash's
cash on hand.
