ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 27,
1998 (the "Purchase  Agreement")  among Computer  Horizons  Corp.  ("CHC"),  RPM
Associates,  Inc.  ("RPM") and the Stockholders  (named  therein),  CHC acquired
substantially  all of the  assets of RPM for a  purchase  price of  $27,700,000,
consisting of (i) cash in the amount of  $22,160,000  and (ii) the number shares
of CHC  common  stock,  par value  $.01 per  share  ("Common  Stock")  having an
aggregate  market value (based on the average of the 30-day closing market value
for the 30 days immediately  preceding the Closing Date (defined below) equal to
$5,540,000. The average closing market value per share of CHC Common Stock as of
August 3, 1998 was $37.424,  resulting  in the payment of 148,033 shares of CHC
Common Stock to RPM and the Stockholders. The date of closing was August 4, 1998
(the  "Closing  Date").   The  Purchase  Agreement  provides  for  post  closing
adjustments  to the purchase price upon the  occurrence of certain  events.  The
purchase price was determined through  negotiation with RPM and the Stockholders
and was financed through CHC's cash on hand. Shares of CHC Common Stock having a
value of  $2,770,000  (10% of the  purchase  price)  are being held in an escrow
account  (the "Escrow  Account") in the event that CHC shall become  entitled to
indemnification  for breaches by RPM and/or the Stockholders of  representations
and  warranties  made in, or  obligations  of any of them  under,  the  Purchase
Agreement.  Subject to any claims for indemnification,  the Escrow Account shall
be  delivered  to the RPM and the  Stockholders  upon the  expiration  of twelve
months following the Closing Date.

          RPM provides  information  technology  staffing  services to companies
