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" or
the "Company"), 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 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.

The Company will account for the purchase price as (i) $ 8,310,000 in Company
Common Stock, calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common
Stock issued at the effective time of the Merger (1,500,000 shares) by $5.54,
which represents the average price of the Company's stock for the period two
days preceding through two days following the Registrant's first announcement of
the Merger, which occurred on February 8, 2001, (ii) $429,000 representing the
fair value of the Registrant's common stock options granted to Quaartz employees
in exchange for cancelled Quaartz common stock options, and (iii) $242,000 in
approximate acquisition expenses. The Company will account for the total
purchase price of Quaartz Inc. as $ 8,981,000.
