Item 2.      Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Closing of Remanufacturing Facility and Sales Offices

         On June 20, 2001, the Board of Directors approved and the Company began
the  implementation  of a  restructuring  plan that  closed its  remanufacturing
facility in Lansing,  Michigan and  consolidated  remanufacturing  operations in
Richmond,  Virginia;  closed  five under  performing  sales  offices  located in
Cincinnati,  Indianapolis,  Nashville,  Lansing and Boston;  reduced the size of
sales offices in  Philadelphia,  Atlanta and Washington,  D.C.; and restructured
back office operations at the Company's  headquarters in Richmond,  Virginia. In
connection  with the  closing  of its  remanufacturing  operations  in  Lansing,
Michigan,  the  restructuring  plan  contemplated (i) the disposal of the leased
Michigan  remanufacturing  facility and related  assets and (ii) the sale of the
new facility under construction in Michigan and the retirement of the Industrial
Revenue Bond debt issued to finance the construction of the new facility.

         In the second quarter,  the Company recorded a restructuring  charge of
approximately  $4.7 million in connection  with the  restructuring  plan,  which
included  an estimate  for the  disposal of the  existing  leased  manufacturing
facility  in Michigan  and related  assets,  as well as the new  facility  under
construction.  In implementing the  restructuring  plan, the Company  terminated
approximately 65 personnel, primarily sales personnel in offices being closed or
personnel associated with the manufacturing facility in Michigan.

Disposition of Lansing Facility Assets

         On July 5,  2001,  the  Company  sold  certain  office,  telephone  and
computer equipment and resources,  removable leasehold  improvements,  warehouse
equipment and related inventory located at the Company's leased  remanufacturing
facility  in  Lansing,  Michigan  to Smart  Office  Systems,  Inc.,  a  Michigan
corporation  ("SOS").  The  aggregate  purchase  price for the  assets  sold was
$275,000.  In addition,  the Company assigned to SOS its lease  obligations with
respect to the leased Lansing remanufacturing facility.

         The purchase price and other terms of the  transaction  were arrived at
through private arms-length negotiations.  Two of the principals of SOS, Paul A.
Covert  and Todd A.  Thomann,  are former  executive  officers  of the  Company.
Neither  the  Company  nor any of its  affiliates,  directors,  officers  or the
associates of such directors or officers have any material relationship with the
purchaser.

Sale of New Lansing Facility Under Construction

         As part of the  restructuring  plan,  the Company  sold its  unfinished
Lansing,  Michigan  remanufacturing  facility to Ena Drive,  L.L.C.,  a Michigan
limited liability company,  on October 4, 2001. The aggregate purchase price for
the unfinished  facility was $2,150,000,  of which  $1,024,000 was paid to L. D.
Clark Building Co. for work completed in connection with the construction of the
facility and other amounts owed under the  construction  contract,  $709,000 was
retained by the  purchaser to pay future  construction  costs  incurred by L. D.
Clark Building Co. in connection with the completion of the facility, $22,000.00
was used to pay certain



                                      -2-


expenses  related to the sale, and $395,000.00 was paid directly to the Company.
Upon  consummation  of the sale, the  contractor's  suit against the Company for
amounts owed under the construction contract was dismissed.

         The sale of the Lansing facility also resulted in the redemption of all
of  the  outstanding  Michigan  Strategic  Fund  Variable  Rate  Demand  Limited
Obligation Revenue Bonds issued to finance the construction of the new facility.
At the time of redemption, there were $2.4 million of such bonds outstanding.

         The purchase price and other terms of the  transaction  were arrived at
through  private  arms-length  negotiations.  Neither the Company nor any of its
affiliates,  directors, officers or the associates of such directors or officers
have any material relationship with the purchaser.

Item 5.      Other Events.

         The press  release  issued by the Company on October 5, 2001  regarding
the sale of the Company's  unfinished  remanufacturing  facility in Michigan and
attached hereto as an exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

                             Open Plan Systems, Inc.
         Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

(a)      Represents   historical   results  of  operations   and  balance  sheet
         information derived from financial statements included in the Company's
         Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and Form 10-Q for
         the quarter ended June 30, 2001, as applicable.

(b)      Represents  the net cash proceeds from the  disposition  of the Lansing
         facility  assets,  the  redemption  of the  outstanding  debt under the
         Industrial   Revenue   Bonds  and  the  sale  of  the  facility   under
         construction in Lansing, Michigan.

(c)      This   adjustment   reflects  the  effect  of  the  redemption  of  the
         outstanding  debt under the Industrial  Revenue bonds,  using, in part,
         the cash externally restricted under the bond indenture agreement.

(d)      These  adjustments  eliminate  the  value  of the  new  facility  under
         construction in Lansing  Michigan that was sold,  inventory  related to
         the Michigan  operations that was sold, and certain trucking  equipment
         that was used by the Lansing Michigan  manufacturing  facility prior to
         its closing.

(e)      This adjustment  eliminates the remaining liability that was accrued as
         of  June  30,  2001   associated   with  the   implementation   of  the
         restructuring  plan,  and primarily  consists of  severance,  legal and
         accounting fees, and rent on closed sales offices.

(f)      This  adjustment  reflects  the  loss  on  the  sale  of  the  Michigan
         operations in excess of the amount recorded as of June 30, 2001.

(g)      These  adjustments  eliminate the historical  sales revenue and related
         cost of sales  attributable  to the sales offices that were closed as a
         result of the restructuring plan.

(h)      The  adjustment  to cost of sales  also  includes  the  elimination  of
         historical expenses related to the leased  remanufacturing  facility in
         Lansing, Michigan closed as a result of the restructuring,  which would
         not have  been  incurred  if the  remanufacturing  operations  had been
         consolidated into the Richmond, Virginia remanufacturing facility as of
         January 1, 2000.

(i)      This adjustment  eliminates the amortization of goodwill related to the
         1996 purchase of the remanufacturing business in Lansing, Michigan. The
         goodwill was written off as of June 30, 2001 as a result of the closing
         of the facility.

(j)      These  adjustments  eliminate  the  selling  and  marketing  as well as
         general and administrative expenses related to closed locations,  aside
         from   severance   costs   recorded  as  part  of  the  June  30,  2001
         restructuring  charge,  that  would  not have been  incurred  had these
         locations been closed as of January 1, 2001.

         Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

(k)      This adjustment  eliminates the  restructuring  expense incurred and/or
         accrued  in the second  quarter of 2001 as a result of the  development
         and implementation of the Company's  restructuring  plan, as more fully
         described  in the  Company's  Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended June 30,
         2001.
