Item 2.  Acquisition of Assets

         On December 30, 1996, The Morgan Group,  Inc.  ("Morgan")  acquired the
operating assets of Transit Homes of America,  Inc. ("Transit") of Boise, Idaho.
Morgan will account for the acquisition as a purchase. Transit, with recent nine
month  revenue  and  pretax  earnings  in excess of $27  million  and  $300,000,
respectively,  and more than 400 independent contractor drivers, serves, as does
Morgan,  a number of leading  producers in the  manufactured  housing  industry,
including  Fleetwood  Enterprises,  Champion  Enterprises,  Redman  Homes,  Palm
Harbor, Schult Homes, and Cavalier Homes.

         The purchase price for the Transit assets of approximately $4.3 million
consists of  approximately  $1.6  million  paid at  closing,  a five year seller
financed note (bearing interest at 6.31%) of approximately $1.2 million, assumed
obligations  related to the assets  purchased  of  approximately  $400,000,  and
approximately $1.1 million associated with acquisition  related payables,  costs
of closing  duplicative  facilities,  and below  market  contracts.  The closing
payment of $1.6 million was funded internally with borrowing under the Company's
credit line. In addition,  $1.1 million of incentive  payments (See Note #5) can
be earned by the seller based upon the  profitability  of Morgan's  manufactured
housing  business.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  and calendar
year ended  December  31,  1995,  Transit had nine month sales of $27 million in
1996, and annual sales of $40 million, in 1995, respectively.  Pretax income for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, amounted to $307,000,  and pretax loss
for the year ended December 31, 1995, amounted to $1.4 million.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Transit Homes of America, Inc.
Cambridge Management Company, Inc.:


We have audited the combined  financial  statements of Transit Homes of America,
Inc. and affiliate as listed in the accompanying index. These combined financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   CompanyOs   management.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined  financial  statements
based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the combined  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Transit Homes of
America, Inc. and affiliate as of September 30,  1996 and December 31, 1995, and
the results of their  operations  and their cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30  1996 and the year ended  December 31,  1995,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying  combined financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company  will  continue as a going  concern.  As  discussed in note 2 to the
combined financial statements,  the Company has a net capital deficiency and its
total current liabilities exceed its total current assets. As a result, there is
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. ManagementOs
plans in regard to these  matters are also  described  in note 2.  The  combined
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

(1)      Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         (a)      Description of Business

                  Transit  Homes of  America,  Inc.  (Transit)  is a provider of
                  transportation    services   principally   to   the   domestic
                  manufactured  housing  industry and to a lesser  extent to the
                  travel  trailer  industry,   using  personnel  provided  on  a
                  contract   basis  by  Cambridge   Management   Company,   Inc.
                  (Cambridge) and independent  contractors who contract directly
                  with Transit (the  "Transit  Business").  Cambridge,  which is
                  under common ownership with Transit,  in addition to providing
                  personnel on a contract  basis to Transit,  is also engaged in
                  other,    unrelated   business   (the   "Unrelated   Cambridge
                  Businesses").  Company,  as  used  in the  combined  financial
                  statements,  refers to Transit and  Cambridge,  excluding  the
                  Unrelated   Cambridge   Businesses.   Credit  is  extended  to
                  customers in the Company's normal course of business.

         (b)      Principles of Combination

                  The combined  financial  statements  include the operations of
                  Transit and the financial position, results of operations, and
                  cash flows of  Cambridge  except for the  Unrelated  Cambridge
                  Businesses.   All   significant   intercompany   balances  and
                  transactions have been eliminated in the combination.

         (c)      Cash Equivalents

                  The Company  considers  all liquid  investments  with original
                  maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

         (d)      Revenue Recognition

                  The   Company   is    principally    involved   in   providing
                  transportation  of  mobile  homes  and  utilizes   independent
                  owner-operators   as  its  principal  source  of  drivers  and
                  transportation   equipment.   The  owner-operator   costs  are
                  contracted  before  the  shipment  is made and are  based on a
                  fixed  percentage of the total revenue to be received from the
                  shipment.   Both  the  revenue   from  the  customer  and  the
                  owner-operator transportation costs are recognized at the time
                  of delivery.

                  The Company  requires  security  deposits  from its  line-haul
                  owner-operators.  Advances  are  made  to  owner-operators  to
                  defray certain of their initial  transportation  costs and are
                  deducted  from the final  contract  payment due at the time of
                  delivery. The net of these items is recorded as deposits from
                  line-haul  operators  as the  Company has the right to offset
                  the two items.


                                                                     (Continued)

                                  AND AFFILIATE

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         (e)      Property and Equipment

                  Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Major  additions
                  and  betterments  are  capitalized  while minor  replacements,
                  maintenance and repairs, which do not increase the useful life
                  of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred.

                  Depreciation   on   equipment   is   calculated    using   the
                  straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful lives of the
                  assets   which  range  from  five  to  ten  years.   Leasehold
                  improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over
                  the shorter of the lease term or estimated  useful life of the
                  asset.

         (f)      Pro Forma Income Taxes

                  Effective  April 1,  1988,  the Company  and its  stockholders
                  elected to be taxed under the  provisions of  Subchapter S  of
                  the Internal  Revenue  Code.  As such,  the taxable  income or
                  losses of the  Company  are  included  in the  individual  tax
                  returns of the stockholders in periods  subsequent to April 1,
                  1988.

                  Pro forma  income  taxes have been  recorded as of and for the
                  nine months ended  September 30,  1996 based on the  estimated
                  income  taxes that the Company  would have  provided  for on a
                  separate-company   basis  in  accordance   with  Statement  of
                  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  Accounting  for Income Taxes.
                  Under  Statement 109,  deferred tax assets and liabilities are
                  recognized  for the future tax  consequences  attributable  to
                  differences  between the financial  statement carrying amounts
                  of existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax
                  basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
                  enacted tax rates  expected to apply to taxable  income in the
                  years in which those temporary  differences are expected to be
                  recovered  or settled.  The effect on the  deferred tax assets
                  and  liabilities  of a change  in tax rates is  recognized  in
                  income in the period that includes the enactment date.

         (g)      Use of Estimates

                  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
                  generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management
                  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the reported
                  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
                  assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
                  and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during the
                  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
                  estimates.

         (h)      Advertising Costs

                  Advertising  costs are  expensed  when  incurred.  Advertising
                  expense was $28,596 in 1996 and $68,050 in 1995.





                                                                     (Continued)

                                  AND AFFILIATE

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2)      Liquidity

         The  Company  has a combined  net  stockholders'  deficit and its total
         current  liabilities  exceed its total current  assets at September 30,
         1996 and  December  31,  1995.  Additionally  as noted at  note 4,  the
         Company  was in  violation  of a  covenant  under  its  line of  credit
         agreement at September 30, 1996. 

         The Company's  ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon
         its  success  in  obtaining   additional   financing  and,  ultimately,
         achieving  profitable  operations and positive operating cash flows. As
         described in note 13,  subsequent  to September  30, 1996,  the Company
         entered into an agreement to sell  substantially  all of its assets and
         certain  liabilities.  The accompanying  combined financial  statements
         have  been  prepared  on the  basis  that the  Company  will be able to
         continue in  existence  as a going  concern.  These  statements  do not
         include  any  adjustments  that might  result  from the outcome of this
         uncertainty.

(3)      Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment consists of the following:

(4)      Line of Credit

         Through  an  agreement  which  expires  March 25,  1997  with a finance
         organization,  the  Company  has  credit  available  to the  lesser  of
         $5,000,000,  or 85% of qualifying trade accounts receivable,  or 90% of
         qualifying trade accounts  receivable for a period of no longer than 30
         consecutive   days.   Borrowings   under   the  line  of   credit   are
         collateralized  by  the  Company's  trade  accounts   receivable,   and
         personally guaranteed by the Company's stockholders.  The interest rate
         on the line of credit is prime plus 5% (13.25% at September  30, 1996).
         At  September 30,  1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain
         financial  covenants  under terms of the line of credit  agreement.  No
         action has been taken by the lender,  however,  future borrowings under
         the line of  credit  could be  restricted  or  denied  at the  lender's
         discretion.

         The Company occupies  administrative  offices and terminals leased from
         its stockholders under noncancelable operating leases expiring over the
         next four years.  During the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements






(9)      Claims Payable

         The Company is routinely  involved in a number of legal proceedings and
         claims that cover a wide range of matters, including traffic accidents.
         An  estimate  is  recorded  using  the  information  available  at  the
         respective  reporting  date for costs to be incurred  relating to these
         claims.  The total  amount  of claims  payable  that the  Company  will
         ultimately  pay  could  differ  materially  in the near  term  from the
         amounts  assumed in arriving at the  estimated  claims  payable for the
         respective  reporting dates. In the opinion of management,  the outcome
         of these matters is not expected to have any material adverse effect on
         the  combined  financial  position  or  results  of  operations  of the
         Company.

(10)     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         The Company's financial  instruments include cash and cash equivalents,
         receivables, payables and bank debt. The Company believes that the fair
         value  of  these  financial  instruments  approximates  their  carrying
         amounts based on current market  indicators,  such as prevailing market
         rates.

(11)     Significant Customers

         Two  customers  accounted  for  approximately  30% and 11% of operating
         revenues for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996.  One of these
         customers also accounted for  approximately  21% of operating  revenues
         for the year ended December 31, 1995.

(12)     Defined Contribution Plan

         Cambridge  sponsors  a  defined   contribution   401(k)  plan  covering
         substantially all personnel of Cambridge after they meet certain length
         of employment requirements. Employees may contribute up to 10% of their
         salary.  Cambridge will match 50% of the employee's  contribution up to
         2% of their salary.  Cambridge  contributed  approximately  $21,718 and
         $30,736 to the plan for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(13)     Subsequent Event

         An asset purchase agreement between Transit, Cambridge and Morgan Drive
         Away,  Inc.   (Morgan)  was  signed  on  November 18,   1996,   whereby
         substantially all of the assets and certain  liabilities of the Company
         will be acquired by Morgan in exchange for cash and a note receivable.
