ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On September 16, 1997, Vistana, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Vistana"),
completed its previously announced acquisitions of entities comprising The
Success Companies, Success Developments, L.L.C. and Points of Colorado, Inc.
(collectively, the "Acquired Companies"), from Donald J. Dubin, Larry D. Doll,
Ronald R. Sharp, David E. Bruce and David H. Friedman (collectively, the
"Sellers"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of
August 15, 1997, (the "Agreement and Plan of Reorganization"), by and among
Vistana, V Sub-1, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vistana, and all of the
Sellers, Vistana acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Acquired Companies
for a purchase price consisting of approximately $24 million in cash and
approximately 640,000 shares of common stock of Vistana (the "Shares"). Vistana
used its working capital to pay the cash portion of the purchase price. Payout
of approximately 430,000 (or 67%) of the Shares is contingent upon the Acquired
Companies achieving certain operating criteria for calendar years 1998 through
2000. The consideration was determined as a result of arm's length negotiations
between Vistana and the Sellers.

     In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Vistana also granted certain registration
rights to the Sellers. In addition, subsidiaries of Vistana entered into
employment agreements with the Sellers pursuant to which each of the Sellers
will serve as an officer of one of such subsidiaries.

     Prior to their acquisition by Vistana, the Acquired Companies were a
closely-held group of companies which developed, marketed, financed and operated
three vacation ownership resorts: the Villas of Cave Creek, near Scottsdale,
Arizona; Eagle Point Resort in Vail, Colorado; and Falcon Point Resort in Vail,
Colorado. Vistana currently intends to continue to market, finance and operate
these resorts. In addition, the Acquired Companies served, and Vistana currently
intends to continue serving, as the exclusive marketing and sales agent for the
largest vacation ownership resort in Colorado, The Christie Lodge, located in
Avon. The Acquired Companies also had additional property in Colorado and
Arizona under contract for future development, which property Vistana currently
intends to develop at some future time.
