ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On October 1, 1997, Colorado MEDtech, Inc. (the "Registrant") completed the
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Erbtec Engineering, Inc., a
Colorado corporation ("Erbtec") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated
October 1, 1997 (the "Agreement").  Pursuant to the Agreement, Erbtec sold
substantially all of its assets to the Registrant for cash consideration in the
amount of $3,850,000, additional cash consideration in the amount of $1,500,000
to be held in escrow, and 88,708 shares of common stock of the Registrant.  The
cash paid by the Registrant in the acquisition came from cash on hand, and the
number of shares of common stock issued by the Registrant was determined based
upon the average closing price, as reported by the Nasdaq system, of the
Registrant's common stock over the thirty (30) days prior to July 28, 1997.

Erbtec specializes in the custom design, development and manufacture of high
power radio frequency (RF) amplifiers and systems for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
