     ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On October 24, 1996, Tanknology Environmental, Inc. ("the Company"), a
Texas corporation, disposed of certain assets and liabilities, ("the Tank
Testing Group"), which consisted of the stock of the following wholly owned
subsidiaries, Tanknology Corporation International, including its cathodic
protection division d/b/a Tanknology Cathodic Protection, USTMAN Industries,
Inc., and Tanknology Canada (1988), Inc. to NDE Environmental Corporation
("NDE"), a Delaware corporation, an unrelated third party.

     The disposition of the Tank Testing Group was made pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Company and NDE dated October
7, 1996. The terms of the Agreement were determined by arm's length negotiation
between the Company and NDE.

     The Company disposed of the Tank Testing Group in consideration of the
receipt of $12,000,100 in cash. The agreement calls for adjustments to the
purchase price of up to $1,000,000 for working capital deficiencies and of up to
$1,250,00 for liabilities relating to services performed by the Tank Testing
Group prior to October 24, 1996. Such consideration was determined following
negotiation between the parties as to the value of the assets. The Company will
report a gain on this sale during the fourth quarter of 1996.
