Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 23, 2001, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of

February 5, 2001, by and among Appiant Technologies, Inc., a Delaware

corporation formerly known as NHancement Technologies, Inc. (the "Registrant"),

Great America Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Merger Sub"),

Quaartz Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Quaartz") and Tom Ku, as Stockholders'

Agent, the Registrant completed the merger of Merger Sub, a wholly-owned

subsidiary of the Registrant, with and into Quaartz, with Quaartz being the

surviving corporation of the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of

the Registrant. The transaction was closed on May 23, 2001 and is being

accounted for as a purchase transaction.

As consideration for the transaction, the Registrant issued an aggregate of

1,500,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, $0.01 par value, in exchange

for the outstanding shares of capital stock of Quaartz, subject to the

withholding of 50% of such shares in escrow in accordance with the terms of the

Agreement.

The Registrant currently intends that Quaartz's business will continue to be

operated in its current manner. Certain of the assets of Quaartz were used to

in the application and service provider business to offer its customers tools

and services to enhance customer interaction through the Internet, and the

Registrant currently intends to use such assets in substantially the same

manner.

The total value of consideration paid for the purchase transaction was

determined based on arm's length negotiations between the Registrant and

Quaartz, which took into account Quaartz's financial position, operating

history, products, intellectual property and other factors relating to

Quaartz's business and certain income tax aspects of the transaction.

Prior to the effective time of the merger, the Registrant was granted a

security interest in substantially all of Quaartz's assets in exchange

for agreeing to loan up to [$1,000,000] to Quaartz.
