Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On May  12,  1997,  the  Registrant  acquired  through  merger  Pro-Tec
Containers, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Pro-Tec"), a manufacturer and marketer
of a broad line of  specialized  containers  for the disposal of used  "sharps",
such as needles and scalpel  blades.  Following  the  merger,  Pro-Tec  became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.

         The  acquisition  was made  pursuant  to an  Agreement  of  Merger  and
Reorganization,  dated as of May 12, 1997,  between the  Registrant,  PTC Merger
Corp., a Florida  corporation  and  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the  Registrant,
Pro-Tec and Treesa  Spencer (the "Pro-Tec  Merger  Agreement").  Pursuant to the
Pro-Tec Merger Agreement, Ms. Spencer, the sole shareholder of Pro-Tec, received
200,000  shares of the  Registrant's  Common Stock (the "Shares") and a one-year
promissory  note of the Registrant in the principal  amount of $133,413  bearing
interest at the prime rate,  in exchange  for all of her shares in Pro-Tec.  The
Registrant also purchased from Ms. Spencer certain patents relating to Pro-Tec's
business for $250,000 in cash.

         The   Registrant  and  Ms.  Spencer  also  entered  into  a  Consulting
Agreement, dated as of May 12, 1997, between Pro-Tec and Ms. Spencer pursuant to
which she is to be paid for consulting services at the rate of $4,000 per month,
provided that until the effective date of a registration  statement on Form S- 3
to be filed to register  the Shares for resale (the  "Registration  Statement"),
Ms. Spencer is to be paid at the rate of $6,700 per month.

         Pursuant to the terms of the  Pro-Tec  Merger  Agreement,  8,346 of the
Shares are being held in escrow by the  Registrant for ninety (90) days to cover
adjustments  to the  merger  consideration  payable  and  claims in  respect  of
misrepresentations, breaches of covenants and indemnity obligations. Ms. Spencer
is entitled  to exercise  any and all voting  rights  attached to such  Withheld
Shares for the period  they are  retained  by the  Registrant  as  security,  in
accordance with the terms of the Pro-Tec Merger Agreement.

         Additionally,  pursuant to the terms of the Pro-Tec  Merger  Agreement,
upon the expiration of six (6) months from the date the  Registration  Statement
is  declared  effective  by the  Commission,  the value of the shares  issued in
connection  with the merger shall be recomputed by the  Registrant in accordance
with the Pro-Tec Merger Agreement,  and subject to compliance with the terms and
conditions  contained  therein,  the  Registrant  and Ms. Spencer each agreed to
adjust the number of shares of the Registrant  comprising the purchase price for
Pro-Tec  based on  increases  or  decreases  in the value of such  shares of the
Registrant as of the end of such six-month period.

         The  source of funds for the cash  portion  of the  purchase  price was
obtained from loans made to the  Registrant by two of its outside  directors and
its cash on hand.
