Item 2.     ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      On July 11, 1996, HEICO Corporation, a Florida corporation (the
"Registrant"), consummated the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of
its wholly-owned subsidiary MediTek Health Corporation, a Florida corporation
("MediTek"), to U.S. Diagnostic Labs Inc., a Delaware corporation ("USDL"),
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 20, 1996 (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"), among the Registrant, MediTek and USDL. In consideration of the
sale of such MediTek capital stock, USDL paid the Registrant $13,828,179 in cash
and issued the Registrant a five-year, 6-1/2% promissory note (the "Convertible
Note") in the principal amount of $10,000,000, which is convertible into
1,081,081 shares of USDL common stock (by virtue of a negotiated $9.25 per share
conversion price). The closing price per share of USDL common stock as reported
by NASDAQ on July 10, 1996 and July 19, 1996 was $11.25 and $10.625,
respectively.

      In order to assure the Registrant liquidity with respect to the
Convertible Note and the USDL common stock into which it is convertible, USDL
(i) granted the Registrant demand and piggy-back registration rights with
respect to such shares of USDL common stock, and (ii) agreed to prepay the
Convertible Note at the Registrant's request at any time until such registration
is completed. The terms of such demand registration rights require USDL to use
its best efforts to cause a registration statement covering all of the USDL
common stock into which the Convertible Note is convertible to be declared
effective by the SEC by January 1, 1997. The terms of such piggy-back
registration rights give the Registrant rights to include such USDL common stock
in certain registration statements filed by USDL from January 1, 1997 until
January 1, 2000. Upon 15 days' prior written notice to the Registrant, USDL may
require the Registrant to convert the Convertible Note into USDL common stock at
any time beginning on the later of June 30, 1997 or the date that such shares of
USDL common stock have been registered, if the closing price of the USDL common
stock has averaged at least $9.25 per share for the immediately preceding ten
trading days. Also, beginning on June 30, 1997, USDL may prepay the Convertible
Note at any time upon 60 days' prior written notice.

      The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides for Laurans A. Mendelson, the
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Registrant,
to become a member of USDL's Board of Directors. Joseph A. Paul, the Executive
Vice President of MediTek, was appointed President of USDL, effective as of the
consummation of this transaction.
