Item 2.           Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Pursuant to the  Subscription  Agreement  dated March 27, 1997, the Company sold
2,502 shares of Series A-3  Convertible  Preferred  Stock at $1,000.00 per share
for aggregate consideration of $2,502,000 to The Pangaea Fund Limited, a British
Virgin Islands Corporation.

Each share of Series A-3 Convertible  Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") is
convertible  into such number of shares of Common Stock  determined  by dividing
(x)  $1,000.00  by (y) the lower of (1) the product of (A)  eighty-five  percent
times (B) the arithmetic average of the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the
five consecutive  trading days immediately  preceding the Conversion Date or (2)
$3.44  (subject to equitable  adjustments  for stock  splits,  stock  dividends,
combinations,  recapitalizations,  reclassifications  and similar  events).  The
Preferred  Stock was issued in three separate stock  certificates  of 834 shares
each. The three stock certificates may be converted on the ninetieth (90th), one
hundred  twentieth  (120th) and one hundred  fiftieth  (150th) day following the
Closing  Date,  respectively.  In no event  shall the number of shares of Common
Stock into which the Preferred Stock are convertible exceed twenty percent (20%)
of the shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of the Closing Date.
On the date which is 730 days after the  Issuance  Date all of the shares of the
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be converted into shares of Common Stock.
The Pangaea Fund Limited also  received  warrants to purchase  85,568  shares of
Common  Stock of the Company  exercisable  at any time after the Closing Date at
$4.30 per share.

In  connection  with  this  transaction,  Tanner  Unman  Securities,  Inc.,  the
Placement Agent for the transaction, received warrants to purchase 25,020 shares
of Common Stock of the Company exercisable at any time after the Closing Date at
$3.44 per share.  The  Company  has also  agreed to issue  warrants  to purchase
20,000  shares of  Common  Stock at $4.30  per  share to  Prudential  Securities
Incorporated in exchange for Prudential's agreement that Prudential would not be
entitled to any cash  compensation in connection with the sale by the Company of
the Preferred Stock.
 



The Company has agreed,  at its sole cost and  expense,  to file a  registration
statement  within  thirty (30) days of the Closing Date on an  appropriate  form
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission covering all shares of
Common Stock  underlying  the  Preferred  Stock,  Warrants and  Placement  Agent
Warrants  and to use its  best  efforts  to  have  such  registration  statement
declared effective as soon as possible thereafter.

The transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
