ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

        On April 12, 2001, pursuant to an "Asset Purchase Agreement" dated April
12,  2001,   Gentner   Communications   Corporation  (the   "Registrant")   sold
substantially  all of the assets (the  "Transaction")  of its Remote  Facilities
Management  division (the "RFM  division") to Burk  Technology of Littleton,  MA
("Burk").  Burk is a  privately-held  developer  and  manufacturer  of broadcast
facility control systems  products (the  "Business").  In the  Transaction,  the
Registrant retained all of the liabilities of the RFM division,  other than with
respect to (i)  unfilled  customer  orders,  and (ii)  warranty  obligations  of
Registrant  to its existing  customers,  and for  inventory  sold to Burk in the
Transaction.  Burk will  perform  warranty  service  on a burdened  cost  basis,
payable by  Registrant.  As part of the  Transaction,  Registrant  agreed not to
compete with Burk in the Business for a period of five (5) years.

        The  Registrant  will  account  for the sale of these  assets  under the
purchase  method of  accounting.  The assets were sold to Burk for $3.2 million,
including $750,000 at closing, and $1.75 million in the form of a seven (7) year
promissory  note,  with  interest  at the rate of nine  percent  (9%) per annum,
secured by a subordinate security interest in the personal property of Burk.

        In addition,  up to $700,000 is payable as a commission over a period of
up to seven years.  The  commission  is based on a percentage of the increase in
net sales experienced by Burk after the closing of the Transaction. The increase
will be measured  from a base amount  derived from historic net sales figures of
both Registrant and Burk.

        The  total  value  of the  consideration  received  for the  assets  was
determined based on arm's length  negotiations  between the Registrant and Burk,
that took into  account a number of factors of the business  including  historic
revenues, operating history, products,  intellectual property and other factors.
There were no material  relationships  between the  Registrant and Burk prior to
completion of this transaction.

        The  assets  sold  were  used  in the  development  and  support  of the
Registrant's  component  technology  products  for  broadcast  facility  control
systems.
