ITEM 2.      ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

             On July 12, 2001, Steiner Leisure Limited (Nasdaq: STNR)
("Steiner"), through a wholly owned subsidiary, purchased substantially all of
the assets (the "Greenhouse Assets") of each of Birmingham Day Spa, LLC, 57th
Street Day Spa, LLC, GH Day Spas, Inc. and GH Day Spa Second Street, LLC, and
substantially all of the intellectual property owned by The Greenhouse Spa,
Inc., which assets, collectively, constitute a chain of eleven luxury day spas
located at various locations within the United States, including New York City,
Beverly Hills, Greenwich, Connecticut and Troy, Michigan (the "Acquisition").
The Acquisition was consummated pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase
Agreement dated April 30, 2001 (the "Agreement"), as amended by that certain
Amendment No. 1 on June 1, 2001 (the "Amendment"). The Agreement and the
Amendment are included as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto, respectively, and are
incorporated herein by reference.

             Steiner paid $24.8 million in cash and $3.0 million in Steiner
common shares for the Greenhouse Assets. In addition, $3.0 million of, and
200,000 options in, Steiner common shares can be earned by the sellers if
certain EBITDA thresholds are obtained. Steiner financed the acquisition through
a credit facility entered into with ABN AMRO Bank, N.A. and working capital. The
purchase price for the Greenhouse Assets was determined through arms' length
negotiation between the parties. Prior to the execution of the Agreement,
Steiner had no material relationship with any of the parties thereto.

             Gerald Katzoff, the senior executive of the entities which sold
the Greenhouse Assets to Steiner, continues to be involved in the operations of
the Greenhouse Day Spas. In addition, Steiner has licensed the right to use the
"Greenhouse" name to The Greenhouse Spa, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr.
Katzoff's family, which will continue to operate the Greenhouse luxury
destination spa in Arlington, Texas, which was excluded from this transaction.
