ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On July 15, 1998, Tultex Corporation (the "Company") completed the sale of
substantially all the assets and business of LogoAthletic, Inc. and
LogoAthletic/Headwear, Inc., its licensed apparel subsidiaries, to TKS
Acquisition Inc. ("TKS"), a new company headed by Thomas K. Shine, President and
CEO of LogoAthletic. Mr. Shine will continue in his position as CEO of the new
company. The new company's investors include Puma AG, Simon Investors, McDonald
& Company Securities, The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and other private
investors.

Consideration to the Company is approximately $96.0 million in cash and $12.5
million in subordinated notes of TKS due five years after the closing.
Additional cash payments may be received by the Company if TKS reaches certain
sales targets during the next two years. As part of the transaction, the Company
repurchased $6.0 million of its outstanding preferred stock owned by investors
in TKS.

A cash payment of $83.0 million was received by the Company at closing. This
payment, net of the repurchase of the $6.0 million of preferred stock, was
applied against the Company's revolving credit facility as required by the
borrowing agreement. The approximately $13.0 million of estimated cash proceeds,
which represents adjustments for working capital prior to the closing, are
expected to be received within 60 days of closing and will also be applied
against this credit facility.


                                                                               2

As part of the agreement between the Company and TKS, the Company will
manufacture and deliver to TKS, fleece and T-shirt products at predetermined
prices through April 30, 1999. Any products manufactured by the Company and
delivered to TKS after April 30, 1999 will be at mutually agreed upon prices.
