Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
         ------------------------------------

         On January 25, 1999, pursuant to a Share Sale Agreement dated January
23, 1999, InterTAN, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), and
InterTAN Canada Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, each
transferred and conveyed all of their respective equity interest in InterTAN
U.K. Limited, an England/Wales corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant (the "Company"), to Beheer-En Beleggingsmaatschappij Antika B.V., a
company registered in the Netherlands (the "Purchaser"), for cash consideration
consisting of (pound)2,800,000. The consideration paid at closing consisted of
the repayment of certain inter-company debt owing by the Company to the
Registrant on the closing date. Post-closing, the Purchaser may be required to
pay the Registrant additional consideration as a result of certain tax savings
which may be realized by the Company and/or the Purchaser; any such future
payments will be deemed to be made in consideration for the further satisfaction
of certain inter-company debt which was owing from the Company to the Registrant
on the closing date. The Company owns and operates retail stores in the U.K.
through which it engages in the sale of a broad range of private label and brand
name consumer electronics products.

         The consideration received by Registrant was determined through
arms-length negotiation between the Registrant and the Purchaser.
