ITEM 2: DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On September 12, 2000, Cerplex Inc.  ("Cerplex"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
The Cerplex Group, Inc. entered into a definitive  agreement to sell 100% of the
stock of its  UK-based  repair  and parts  business,  Cerplex  Ltd.,  to a joint
venture between Teleplan  Holdings Europe BV and A Novo SA. This transaction was
approved  by the US  Bankruptcy  Court for the  District  of Delaware on Friday,
October 27, 2000 and was completed on October 30, 2000.

Cerplex Ltd., based in Enfield, England, was the last of the operating companies
owned by Cerplex to be sold.  Total  considerations  from the  transaction  were
$1,200,146.50.   The  total   proceeds  are  expected  to  be  used  to  satisfy
administrative  expenses  of the  bankruptcy  and to  reduce  a  portion  of the
company's indebtedness.  None of the proceeds will be available for distribution
to shareholders.
