Item 2.        Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

               On January 19, 2000, Imperial Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, (the "Company"), through a wholly owned subsidiary Just-Rite
Supply, Inc. ("Just-Rite") purchased certain of the assets and business of A & R
Supply, Inc., a Florida corporation, A & R of Foley, Inc., a Florida corporation
and A & R of Destin, Inc., a Florida corporation ("A & R"), effective January 1,
2000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 1999 (the
"Agreement"). A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and
incorporated hereby by this reference. The summary of the terms of the Agreement
contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information contained in the Agreement.

               The assets purchased by the Company from A & R consist primarily
of real estate, inventory, equipment, vehicles, machinery, furniture, fixtures,
leasehold improvements and intangible assets used in connection with the
distribution of building materials in North Florida and Alabama (the
"Business").

               The purchase price for the Business amounted to $798,000 in cash,
notes payable to A & R in the aggregate amount of $250,000.00, assumed
liabilities of $372,000 and 225,000 shares of Company common stock, $.01 par
value. In connection with the purchase price, Just-Rite executed $100,000 and
$150,000 notes dated January 19, 2000 in favor of A & R. The $150,000 Note is
payable without interest on April 19, 2000. The $100,000 note is payable
principal and accrued interest at eight (8%) per annum on January 19, 2001.

               The consideration paid by the Company for A & R's assets and
Business was determined in arms-length negotiations between representatives of
the Company and A & R. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid from the
cash on hand and available borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility with a financial institution.

               Following the closing, Ronald A. Johnson entered into an
employment agreement with Just-Rite, whereby Mr. Johnson serves as a Just-Rite
Vice President and General Manager.

               Prior to the transaction, there was no material relationship
between A & R, Mr. Johnson, their affiliates and the Company or affiliates
thereof, except that A & R was a customer of the Company and its subsidiaries
and a distributor of their products.

               The Company intends to operate the assets acquired in a similar
manner as A & R utilized such assets prior to the transaction described herein.
