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

On April 30, 2001, pursuant to a Share Sale Agreement dated April 10, 2001,
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 Australia Ltd., a New South
Wales corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the "Company"),
to Dick Smith Electronics Holdings Pty Ltd (the "Purchaser"), for cash
consideration paid at closing of A$114,139,649. Post-closing, the Registrant may
be required to repay a portion of the purchase price to the Purchaser, based on
the results of an audit of the Company's balance sheet as at April 30, 2001 (the
"Completion Accounts"). The price will be adjusted upwards or downwards
depending on the relationship between the net assets of the Company as
determined in the Completion accounts and the net assets as at December 31,
2000. Based on unaudited results for the period January 1, 2001 through March 31
and preliminary results for the month of April, management estimates that the
price will be adjusted downwards by approximately A$1,300,000 (approximately
$650,000). The Company owns and operates retail stores in Australia 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.
