Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

            On December 30, 1998, Muzak Limited Partnership ("Muzak") acquired
certain of the assets and liabilities of Music Technologies, Inc. ("MTI"). MTI
is a provider of background, foreground and other forms of subscription music to
commercial and industrial subscribers, including the installation and
maintenance of business music equipment at subscriber premises, and is a
franchisee of Muzak. The aggregate consideration for the acquisition was
$11,160,000, plus the amount of certain usable inventory (in the amount of
$155,861) and certain transaction expenses (together, the "Purchase Price"). A
portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of $2,550,000 is payable pursuant to
the terms of a promissory note with a maturity date of April 30, 1999, subject
to extension by Muzak in certain circumstances. In addition, a portion of the
Purchase Price in the amount of $1,290,000 is payable 285 days after the Closing
Date, and the payment of such amount is contingent upon the execution of certain
customer contracts contemplated under the Asset Purchase Agreement between Muzak
and MTI. The Purchase Price was paid through funds available under Muzak Limited
Partnership's credit facility with Foothill Capital Corporation. A copy of the
Asset Purchase Agreement (including all amendments thereto) and a copy of the
Loan and Security Agreement with Foothill Capital Corporation are filed as
exhibits hereto.
