Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     Pursuant to a stock  purchase  agreement  dated as of January 13, 1999 (the
"Agreement")  among Evan Lam Hok Ling,  Timothy Tung Hok Ki  (collectively,  the
"Sellers"),  Cunningham Graphics  International,  Inc., a New Jersey corporation
(the "Company"),  and Cunningham Graphics International,  S.A., a British Virgin
Island corporation ("CGISA"),  the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
CGISA,  acquired  all of the issued and  outstanding  capital  stock of Workable
Company Limited, a Hong Kong corporation ("Workable").  In addition, the Company
acquired from the Sellers the 60% of the outstanding  capital stock of Plainduty
Limited,  a Hong Kong  corporation,  which  was not  already  held by  Workable.
Workable also has a subsidiary in Singapore.

     The purchase price of the acquisition was $12.3 million,  which was paid as
follows:  (i) the issuance of 398,216 shares of the Company's  common stock,  no
par value per share ("Common Stock"),  at a price of $15.52 per share and (ii) a
cash payment in the amount of $6.2  million.  In addition,  the Company  assumed
$0.7 million of  indebtedness.  The Company  utilized  proceeds from its initial
public  offering of Common Stock to fund the cash portion of the purchase price.
Pursuant to the Agreement,  the Company may be required to pay to the Sellers up
to an additional  $3.8 million,  depending upon the earnings of Workable  during
the years 1999, 2000 and 2001.

     Prior to the acquisition,  Workable, a commercial printer of time sensitive
research  reports in Hong Kong and Singapore,  had been the Company's  strategic
partner in Asia for more than two years.  The Company  intends to have  Workable
continue its operations in the manner conducted prior to the acquisition.

     In connection with the Agreement, Workable entered into Services Agreements
dated as of January 13, 1999 with each of its principals,  Evan Lam Hok Ling and
Timothy Tung Hok Ki.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.

This press release may contain forward-looking  statements,  which involve known
and unknown  risks,  uncertainties  or other  factors  that could  cause  actual

conditions  and other risk factors  detailed in the  Company's  filings with the
