Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On July 5, 2000,  pursuant to the "Asset Purchase  Agreement" dated July
5,  2000,  Gentner  Communications   Corporation  (the  "Registrant")  purchased
substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  ClearOne,   Inc.  (Woburn,   Mass.),  a
privately-held  developer and  manufacturer of multimedia  group  communications
products.

        The  Registrant  will account for the  acquisition of these assets under
the purchase method of accounting. The assets were acquired with $1.7 million in
cash and 129,872 shares of the Registrant's  restricted stock. The cash purchase
price was paid from the Registrant's general working capital. The total value of
consideration  paid  for  the  assets  was  determined  based  on  arm's  length
negotiations  between  the  Registrant  and  ClearOne,  which took into  account
ClearOne's  financial  position,   operating  history,  products,   intellectual
property  and  other  factors  relating  to  ClearOne's  business.  There are no
material  relationships  between ClearOne and the Registrant prior to completion
of this transaction.

        The  assets  purchased  were  used in the  development  and  support  of
ClearOne's   component   technology   products   for  both   audio   and   video
teleconferencing  applications.  The  Registrant  currently  intends to use such
assets in substantially  the same manner.  The Registrant will retain ClearOne's
facilities in Woburn, MA.


Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

(a)     Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired
        -------------------------------------------

        It  is  impractical  for  Registrant  to  file  the  required  financial
        statements at this time.  Registrant intends to file with the Securities
        and Exchange Commission such financial  statements within 60 days of the
        filing date of this report.
