ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On July 12, 1999,  Isolyser Company,  Inc.  ("Isolyser") and its wholly
owned  subsidiary,  MedSurg  Industries,  Inc.  ("MedSurg"),  sold to Allegiance
Healthcare  Corporation  ("Allegiance")  substantially  all of their assets used
primarily in the business (the "Business") of assembling,  packaging,  marketing
and selling  procedure  kits and trays,  and  Isolyser  granted to  Allegiance a
worldwide   exclusive   license  (the   "License")  to  Isolyser's   proprietary
technologies to make, use and sell products made from material (the  "Material")
which can be  dissolved  and  disposed  of through  sanitary  sewer  systems for
healthcare applications. Allegiance is not an "affiliate" of Isolyser within the
meanings of the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended.  The purchase price payable
for such assets and license  consisted of  approximately  $31.3 million in cash,
the  assumption  by Allegiance  of certain  liabilities  of Isolyser and MedSurg
relating to the Business,  and Allegiance's agreement that Isolyser would be the
sole  supplier  during the term of the License of Material to  Allegiance  which
would at least include a certain  minimum  quantity of fabric to be purchased by
Allegiance from Isolyser. The purchase price was negotiated at arms' length.

         Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  balance sheet of
the Company as of June 30, 1999 gives effect to the  disposition  by the Company
of all of the capital stock of White Knight Healthcare,  Inc. (the "White Knight
Divestiture"),  formerly a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company,  as if the
White Knight Divestiture had occurred on June 30, 1999. The following  unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the
year ended  December  31, 1998,  and the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  give
effect to the White Knight  Divestiture and the divestiture of substantially all
of  the  assets  of  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,   MedSurg
Industries,  Inc., used primarily in the business of  manufacturing  and selling
custom  procedure  trays   (collectively,   the   "Divestitures")   as  if  such
Divestitures  had occurred on January 1, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated  statement  of  operations  for the year ended  December  31, 1998,
includes  the  operating  results  of the  Company's  White  Knight  Industrial,
SafeWaste,  Arden, Abbeville,  Charlotte and Struble & Moffit businesses only to
their  respective dates of divestiture by the Company during 1998. The pro forma
financial  information  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  historical
consolidated  financial  statements of the Company and the related notes thereto
appearing  in the  Company's  Annual  Report  on Form  10-K for the  year  ended
December  31, 1998 and  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June
30, 1999 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain
prior period amounts set forth in the pro forma combined  financial  information
has been adjusted for comparative purposes.  The pro forma financial information
is not  necessarily  indicative of the results that would have been reported had
such  divestitures  occurred  at the  dates  specified,  nor  is it  necessarily
indicative of future results.
