FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                            QUESTRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
         ENTERS INTO AGREEMENT FOR SALE OF ASSETS, FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY

BOCA RATON, FL - FEBRUARY 4, 2002 - Questron Technology, Inc. announced today
that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement with QTI Acquisition Corp.
providing for QTI's acquisition of substantially all of Questron's assets and
has, together with its subsidiaries, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware. The asset sale is subject to customary closing conditions, as well
as the completion of a bankruptcy court supervised auction process and
bankruptcy court approval. QTI is a newly formed company owned and organized by
an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc.

         "This filing protects the value of Questron's business for the benefit
of Questron's creditors and will help ensure that our customers continue to
receive uninterrupted service through the sale process and thereafter," said
Dominic A. Polimeni, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Questron. While the
bankruptcy court reviews the proposed sale to QTI and any other offers that may
emerge, Questron believes that it has sufficient cash on hand to finance its
operations, including supporting the company's post-petition trade and employee
obligations, as well as its ongoing operating needs during the process.

         M. Steven Liff, Vice President at Sun Capital, stated "We are very
enthusiastic about the prospect of acquiring Questron's business and are excited
about investing in a business that is well positioned in its industry. With our
capital infusion and operational expertise, the business should have sufficient
liquidity and ongoing support to take advantage of revenue growth and to
continue to provide excellent service to its strong customer base."

         Under the terms of the agreement, QTI has agreed to acquire
substantially all of the assets in exchange for the assumption of the debt
outstanding under Questron's senior secured debt facility (currently
approximately $81.5 million), the assumption of obligations under Questron's
leases, customer contracts and certain other agreements, the issuance of 4% of
QTI's capital stock and the funding of up to $500,000 for certain wind-down
expenses. QTI has agreed that it will employ all of Questron's employees at the
closing and provide them with comparable benefits, and has also indicated that
it will employ existing management on terms comparable to their current
arrangements. QTI will not assume any other Questron liabilities. Questron
expects that the purchase price payable by QTI will be insufficient to cover all
of Questron's liabilities and therefore, Questron's stockholders will not
receive any distribution upon completion of the bankruptcy proceedings.





         The agreement also provides that if Questron completes an alternate
transaction with another bidder, it must pay QTI a fee of $2,500,000 and
reimburse its legal and due diligence expenses, up to $500,000. Such amounts are
payable only out of the proceeds of an alternate transaction, which must exceed
QTI's purchase price by $1,000,000 in cash plus such amounts and must be
structured in a manner to provide cash sufficient to pay such fee and expenses.
