Item  2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

The Canton Industrial  Corporation,  a Nevada  Corporation herein referred to as
"Canton",  in  continuing  its  policy  of  acquiring  real  estate  properties,
purchased a parcel of land on December 27, 1995. The land was purchased by Oasis
International  Hotel & Casino,  Inc., a Nevada  corporation,  jointly with Oasis
International Corporation, a Nevada corporation,  both wholly owned subsidiaries
of Canton from Solar Logos Foundation.  The land consists of over 1,100 acres of
mostly  vacant land located in Elko County,  Nevada,  and is  approximately  150
miles west of Salt Lake City,  Utah. The purchase also includes all improvements
to the  property  which  consist  of a service  station,  small  retail and food
service  operations,  and a mobile home park. It also purchased the water rights
of over sixteen hundred acre feet of water per year. The Companies intend future
development of the property.

The transaction was structured whereby Oasis  International Hotel & Casino, Inc.
holds fee title on approximately 51 acres of land on which the retail operations
are located. Consideration for this part of the transaction was Five Hundred and
Sixty  Thousand  Dollars  ($560,000),  financed  by a $300,000  Promissory  Note
payable to a non-related individual,  with payments of interest only at eighteen
percent  per annum and a maturity  of two years;  500,000  shares of  restricted
common stock in Canton issued to the Promissory  Note holder;  and interest free
loans from other Canton subsidiaries.

Oasis  International  Corporation  owns the  balance of the  property,  which is
subject to an underlying  Trust Deed of $900,000  provided by the seller.  Under
the terms and  conditions  of the trust  deed,  for the first  three  years,  an
interest  only payment is due  quarterly  with an interest rate of seven percent
per annum.  After the third year, the principal  reductions are required and are
based on the entire amount being paid off by the tenth  anniversary  of the date
of purchase.  There are no pre-payment penalties,  and the contract provides for
the  payoff and  reconveyance  of  specific  tracts of land  within the  parcels
covered by the deed as Canton's development plans proceed.

Canton has formed another  subsidiary,  Oasis Services  Management  Corporation,
which is  responsible  for retail  activities at this  location.  It has on-site
employees  and  managers.  Canton is presently  attempting  to locate a suitable
operator to lease the retail operations.


Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

The purchase of the property will increase the Company's assets by approximately
$1,800,000, liabilities by approximately $1,500,000, and stockholders' equity by
approximately $300,000 and will have no significant effect on the net income.

Exhibits required to be attached by Item 601 of Regulation S-K are listed in the
Index  to  Exhibits  beginning  on page 5 of this  Form  8-K,  which  is  hereby
incorporated by this reference.
