     ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

     On August 9, 1996, Unidigital Inc. (the "Company"), through a wholly-
owned subsidiary, consummated the acquisition of certain assets of Cardinal
Communications Group, Inc. ("Cardinal") and C-Max Graphics, Inc. ("C-Max"; C-
Max and Cardinal are referred to collectively as the "Seller") located in New
York City.  The Seller provided prepress and digital print services to
advertising agencies, publishers and corporations in the New York City and
surrounding area.  The Company intends to continue such line of business.  The
assets purchased included the Seller's entire customer list, inventory,
equipment, trade name and 34,000 square feet of commercial real estate in New
York City.  The purchase price included cash payments of $1,450,000, issuance
of $250,000 of restricted Common Stock of the Company (39,216 shares) and the
assumption of equipment lease obligations and real estate taxes and mortgages.
The Company funded the purchase price from proceeds of a $1,400,000 line of
credit from Chase Manhattan Bank. In determining the purchase price, the
Company considered, among other factors, the past and projected revenues
generated from the customers of the Seller and the value of the acquired
inventory, equipment and real estate.
