ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On August 1, 1997 (the "Closing Date"), Speizman Industries, Inc., a
Delaware Corp., ("Buyer") purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Wink
Davis Equipment Co., Inc. ("Wink Davis"), a Georgia corporation, from the eight
individual shareholders of Wink Davis (the "Sellers"), pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement dated July 31, 1997 by and among Buyer and Sellers. Wink
Davis distributes laundry equipment and parts, principally in the southeastern
United States, as well as in the Chicago, Illinois area. In accordance with the
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Buyer paid $ 9,500,000 (the "Purchase Price") to
the Sellers in cash. There is a possible additional conditional payment of up to
$ 1.5 million in cash over a five-year period based on certain pre-tax earnings
calculations.

         Assets acquired included cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes
receivable, inventories, cash surrender value of life insurance, automobiles and
trucks, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements
and certain exclusive dealer distribution rights. All of such assets were used
in the operations of Wink Davis. The Buyer intends to continue the operations of
Wink Davis and the same use of such assets.

         On the Closing Date, the Sellers entered in to various agreements with
the Buyer pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, including (a) a
noncompetition agreement prohibiting a former shareholder from competing with
the Buyer; and (b) subleases of certain properties to Buyer.

         The consideration for the acquisition was determined by arms-length
negotiations between the Buyer and the Sellers. Speizman Industries, Inc.'s
source of funds was borrowings under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement
(the "Loan Agreement") with NationsBank, N.A. entered into on August 1, 1997.
This Loan Agreement provides up to $ 37.0 million comprised of (a) a $ 7.0
million term loan with quarterly principal payments of $ 250,000 beginning
December 31, 1997, the balance due July 31, 2000; and (b) up to $ 30.0 million
including a maximum of $ 8.5 million for direct borrowings with the balance
available for the issuance of documentary letters of credit. This line of credit
expires July 31, 2000.

(1) Estimated intangible asset and equity adjustment based on preliminary
appraisal results.

NOTE:    There is no material difference between the fair market value and the
         historical carrying costs of the assets and liabilities of Wink Davis
         Equipment Company. Accordingly, the excess of the purchase price has
         been fully allocated to intangible assets.
