Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On March 27, 1998, Nu Skin Asia Pacific,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation
("NSAP"), completed the previously announced acquisition of the capital stock of
Nu Skin International,  Inc., a Utah corporation  ("NSI"),  its primary supplier
and the owner of rights to the  worldwide Nu Skin  distributor  network,  the Nu
Skin product  formulas and  trademarks  and the rights to future  markets for Nu
Skin  products  worldwide.  In addition,  NSAP acquired the capital stock of NSI
affiliates  operating in Europe,  South  America,  Australia and New Zealand and
certain  other NSI  affiliates,  including  Nu Skin  Europe,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation;  Nu Skin U.K., Ltd., a United Kingdom corporation,  domesticated in
Delaware  under the name Nu Skin U.K.,  Inc.;  Nu Skin  Germany,  GmbH, a German
corporation,  domesticated in Delaware under the name Nu Skin Germany, Inc.; New
Skin France, SARL, a French corporation, domesticated in Delaware under the name
Nu Skin France,  Inc.; Nu Skin  Netherlands,  B.V., a  Netherlands  corporation,
domesticated  in  Delaware  under the name Nu Skin  Netherlands,  Inc.;  Nu Skin
Italy, (SRL.), an Italian  corporation,  domesticated in Delaware under the name
Nu Skin Italy, Inc.; Nu Skin Spain, S.L., a Spanish corporation, domesticated in
Delaware  under the name Nu Skin Spain,  Inc.; Nu Skin Belgium,  N.V., a Belgium
corporation,  domesticated in Delaware under the name Nu Skin Belgium,  Inc.; Nu
Skin Personal Care  Australia,  Inc., a Utah  corporation;  Nu Skin New Zealand,
Inc.,  a Utah  corporation;  Nu Skin  Brazil,  Ltda.,  a Brazilian  corporation,
domesticated in Delaware under the name Nu Skin Brazil, Inc.; Nu Skin Argentina,
Inc.,  a  Utah  corporation;   Nu  Skin  Chile,  S.A.,  a  Chilean  corporation,
domesticated  in  Delaware  under the name Nu Skin Chile,  Inc.;  Nu Skin Poland
Spa.,  a Polish  corporation,  domesticated  in Delaware  under the name Nu Skin
Poland,  Inc.; Nu Skin International  Management Group, Inc., a Utah corporation
("NSIMG"); and Cedar Meadows, L.C. (together with NSI, the "Acquired Entities").

         The  initial  consideration  paid by NSAP  to the  stockholders  of the
Acquired  Entities (the "NSI  Stockholders")  consisted of 2,986,663 shares of a
newly created series of preferred stock of NSAP (the "Series A Preferred Stock")
and long-term notes payable to the NSI Stockholders totaling approximately $23.7
million.  Contingent upon NSI and NSAP meeting certain  earnings growth targets,
NSAP may pay up to $100  million in cash (up to $25 million per year) to the NSI
Stockholders over the next four years. In connection with the acquisition,  NSAP
also assumed the liabilities of the Acquired Entities,  including the obligation
to repay approximately  $156.3 million principal amount of promissory notes (the
"S  Distribution  Notes")  previously  distributed to the NSI  Stockholders  for
payment of earned and  undistributed  S  corporation  earnings  in the  Acquired
Entities.  The S Distribution  Notes bear interest at 8% per annum and mature on
December 31, 2004.

         The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are automatically convertible on
a one-to-one basis,  subject to adjustment,  into shares of Class A Common Stock
of NSAP if stockholder approval for such conversion is obtained. NSAP intends to
seek approval for  conversion at its next annual  meeting,  scheduled for May 5,
1998. If stockholder  approval for conversion is not received prior to September
30,  1998,  NSAP may,  at its option,  redeem the Series A Preferred  Stock at a
redemption  price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $14.0625 (the "Preference
Value") or (ii) 60% of the  average  of the last  sales  prices per share of the
Class A Common  Stock of the Company on the New York Stock  Exchange  for the 20
consecutive  trading  days  ending on the  trading  day five  days  prior to the
redemption  date.  The  redemption  price  would be  payable  25% in cash on the
redemption  date and the remaining 75% in equal  installments on the anniversary
of the redemption  date in each of the three  succeeding  years.  If stockholder
approval for  conversion is not received prior to September 30, 1998, the Series
A Preferred  Stock will also be entitled to cumulative  dividends at the rate of
7% of the  Preference  Value per share per  annum,  payable  quarterly.  If such
dividends  become  in  arrears  in an  amount  equal to at least  six  quarterly
dividends,  holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to elect
two new directors,  provided that such right will terminate when all accrued and
unpaid  dividends are paid. The shares of Series A Preferred  Stock are entitled
to a liquidation preference equal to the Preference Value per share.

         Several of the NSI Stockholders were at the time of the acquisition and
continue  to be  significant  holders  of the  Class A Common  Stock of NSAP and
collectively  the  NSI  Stockholders  held  and  continue  to  hold  all  of the
outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock of NSAP. In addition,  several of
the NSI  Stockholders  were at the time of the  acquisition  and  continue to be
directors  and/or  officers of NSAP. The  acquisition  was approved by a special
committee of NSAP's board of directors consisting solely of members of the board
who were not NSI Stockholders.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a)      Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.

         The combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December
         31, 1997 and report of independent certified public accountants for the
         Acquired Entities are included as Exhibit 99.15.

(b)      Pro Forma Financial Information.

         On March 27, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of the capital
         stock of the Acquired Entities (the "NSI  Acquisition") for $70 million
         in convertible  preferred stock that is anticipated to convert to Class
         A Common Stock upon stockholder approval and long-term notes payable to
         the NSI Stockholders totaling approximately $23.7 million. In addition,
         contingent upon NSI and NSAP meeting  certain  earnings growth targets,
         NSAP may pay up to $25  million  in cash per  year  over the next  four
         years. Also, as part of the NSI Acquisition, NSAP assumed approximately
         $156.3 million in S Distribution  Notes.  The contingent  consideration
         paid,  if any,  will be accounted  for as an adjustment to the purchase
         price and allocated to the Acquired Entities' assets and liabilities.

         The  NSI  Acquisition  was  accounted  for by the  purchase  method  of
         accounting,  except for the portion of the Acquired  Entities under the
         common control of a group of stockholders,  which portion was accounted
         for in a manner  similar to a pooling of interests.  The common control
         group  is  comprised  of the  stockholders  of NSAP  and  the  Acquired
         Entities that are immediate family members.

         COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Inasmuch as a portion of the NSI  Acquisition  was  accounted  for in a
         manner  similar to a pooling of interests,  all prior period  financial
         statements presented have been combined and restated as if NSAP and the
         Acquired Entities had been combined during all periods presented.

         The following  Combined  Balance Sheet  (Unaudited)  as of December 31,
         1997 and the Combined  Statements of Income  (Unaudited)  for the years
         ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 include the accounts of NSAP and
         its subsidiaries,  including the Acquired Entities, and all significant
         intercompany   accounts  and  transactions   have  been  eliminated  in
         consolidation. Intercompany eliminations include receivables, payables,
         profit-in-inventory, other assets, revenues, cost of sales and selling,
         general and administrative  expenses.  The minority interest represents
         the  NSI  Stockholders  who  are  not  immediate  family  members.  The
         statements of income include a pro forma  presentation for income taxes
         which would have been recorded if the Acquired  Entities had been taxed
         as  C  corporations  instead  of  as S  corporations  for  all  periods
         presented.

         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Inasmuch as a portion of the NSI  Acquisition  was accounted for by the
         purchase  method of  accounting,  the combined  and restated  financial
         statements  for the most recent year have been  adjusted to give effect
         to the events directly attributable to the NSI Acquisition.

         The  following  Pro Forma  Combined  Balance  Sheet  (Unaudited)  as of
         December  31,  1997  reflects  the  combined  and  restated   financial
         statements  of  NSAP  and  its  subsidiaries,  including  the  Acquired
         Entities,  as if the NSI Acquisition had occurred at December 31, 1997,
         and the following Pro Forma  Combined  Statement of Income  (Unaudited)
         for the year ended December 31, 1997 reflects the combined and restated
         financial  statements  of NSAP  and  its  subsidiaries,  including  the
         Acquired Entities, as if the NSI Acquisition had occurred at January 1,
         1997.

         The  following  pro  forma  financial   information  is  presented  for
         informational  purposes only and is not  necessarily  indicative of the
         actual  results of  operations  which might have  occurred  had the NSI
         Acquisition  been  consummated as of those earlier dates,  nor are they
         indicative of the results of operations which may occur in the future.

                           Nu Skin Asia Pacific, Inc.
           Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

(a)  The following table sets forth the calculation of NSAP's  acquisition costs
     and  its  preliminary  allocation  to the  Acquired  Entities'  assets  and
     liabilities using the estimated purchase accounting adjustments,  which are
     subject to post-closing adjustments.  Final purchase accounting adjustments
     may differ from the amounts shown below.

     Calculation of acquisition costs:
         Preferred stock (2,986,663 shares at $23.44 per share)  $  70,000,000
         Long-term notes payable to stockholders                    23,735,000
         Assumed S Distribution Notes                              156,265,000
         Estimated acquisition expenses                              3,000,000
                                                                   -----------
                                                                   253,000,000

         Net book value of net assets acquired                     114,720,000
                                                                   -----------

         Excess of cost over net book value                        138,280,000

         Less:  portion under common control                       (89,882,000)

         Portion not under common control                        $  48,398,000 *
                                                                 =============

     *   The portion of the excess of cost over net book value not under  common
         control was allocated as follows: (1) inventory step-up of $21,600,000;
         (2)  marketing  rights  --intangible  of  $7,000,000;  (3)  distributor
         network  --intangible  of  $7,350,000;   and  (4)   tradename/trademark
         --intangible of $12,448,000.

(b)  Reflects  the issuance of 1,045,332  shares of preferred  stock,  $.001 par
     value, at $23.44 per share.  The 1,941,331 shares of preferred stock issued
     to the common  control  group are already  reflected  in the  combined  and
     restated  financial  statements  for all periods  presented.  Also reflects
     $20,065,000 of the total $156,265,000 assumed S Distribution Notes, as only
     $136,200,000  of the notes were  actually  issued as of December  31, 1997.
     Also  reflects  the  issuance  of  long-term   notes  payable  to  the  NSI
     Stockholders totaling  $23,735,000,  estimated accrued acquisition expenses
     totaling  $3,000,000,  termination of the Acquired  Entities' S corporation
     status and the effect of recording  long-term  deferred tax assets totaling
     $12,800,000  upon  conversion  of  the  Acquired   Entities  from  S  to  C
     corporations.

(c)  The  unaudited  pro forma  statement of income does not reflect  additional
     cost  of  sales  related  to  the  one-time   inventory   step-up  totaling
     $21,600,000.

(d)  Reflects  increased   amortization   expense  totaling  $1,707,000  on  the
     intangible assets. The marketing rights and the tradename/trademark  assets
     will  be  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over  20  years,  and  the
     distributor  network asset will be amortized on a straight-line  basis over
     10 years.

(e)  Reflects  increased  interest  expense  totaling  $14,400,000  on the notes
     payable to the NSI Stockholders.  The assumed S Distribution Notes totaling
     $156,265,000 are due in equal monthly installments over seven years and the
     long-term  notes  totaling  $23,735,000  are due in 2005.  The  notes  bear
     interest at 8% per annum.

(f)  Reflects  adjustments  of U.S.  Federal  and state  income  taxes as if the
     Acquired  Entities  had  been  taxed  as C  corporations  rather  than as S
     corporations  during the year using the combined  Company's  effective  tax
     rate of  37.98%.  Also  reflects  the tax  effect  of the  above  pro forma
     adjustments.  The statement of income does not reflect the one-time  effect
     of recording  deferred tax assets totaling  approximately  $12,800,000 upon
     conversion of the Acquired Entities from S to C corporations.

(g)  Reflects the purchase of the  minority  interest in the Acquired  Entities.
     The minority interest represents the NSI Stockholders who are not immediate
     family members.

(h)  Diluted weighted  average common shares  outstanding are computed as if the
     2,986,663 preferred shares had been converted to Class A Common Stock as of
     the beginning of the year.
