ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Acquisition of Tradewinds Television, Inc.

         On September 13, 1996, the Registrant and Tradewinds Television, LLC, a
California  limited  liability company  ("Tradewinds"),  entered into an Interim
Financing and Security  Agreement (the "Security  Agreement")  pursuant to which
Tradewinds  granted the Registrant,  as security for the repayment by Tradewinds
of  certain  loans  to be  made by the  Registrant,  a  first  priority  lien on
substantially  all of  Tradewinds'  assets (the  "Assets").  The Assets  include
accounts  receivable,  the name and mark "Tradewinds  Television," the rights to
the  syndicated  television  series "Bounty Hunters" and distribution  rights to
certain other television  products. Between  September 13, 1996 and November 19,
1996, the Registrant  loaned  Tradewinds an aggregate of approximately  $823,000
(the "Loans") pursuant to the Security Agreement.

         Concurrently  with  the  execution  of  the  Security  Agreement,   the
Registrant  and  Tradewinds  engaged  in  negotiations  pursuant  to  which  the
Registrant would purchase  substantially all of the Assets.  The parties entered
into an Asset  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of October 3, 1996, as amended,  to
provide for such  acquisition.  The sale of the assets was  contingent  upon the
resolution to the  satisfaction of the Registrant of various  bankruptcy  issues
concerning  other  companies  affiliated  with Royeric  Pack,  the sole owner of
Tradewinds.

         On November 14, 1996, the  Registrant  filed a complaint in Los Angeles
Superior Court  asserting that  Tradewinds had defaulted under the Loans and the
Security Agreement,  and seeking judicial foreclosure of the Assets, among other
claims. On December 6, 1996, Tradewinds, in lieu of foreclosure on the Assets by
the  Registrant,  agreed to transfer  and assign to the  Registrant  the Assets,
subject  to certain  payables  associated  therewith,  in  consideration  of the
Registrant forgiving the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans. Such indebtedness,
including  accrued  interest and related costs and expenses,  was  approximately
$1,000,000.  Also on December 6, 1996, the Registrant  entered into an Executive
Producer  Agreement with Mr. Pack, with respect to Mr. Pack providing  executive
producing  services in connection  with the Bounty Hunters  series.  Pursuant to
such agreement,  Mr. Pack received a $75,000 payment on December 6, 1996 for the
first production  season,  and is entitled in the second  production season to a
fee of $3,000 per episode, payable upon airing of each such episode.

         On December 17, 1996, the Registrant  agreed with the Trustee of Action
Media Group, Inc., a company affiliated with Mr. Pack

and which is the  subject  of a  bankruptcy  court  proceeding  ("AMG"),  to pay
$275,000 to the  Trustee of AMG,  and to secure in exchange a release of certain
claims by the Trustee and AMG against  Tradewinds and the Registrant with regard
to  indebtedness  owed by  Tradewinds  to AMG and the  assignment  of  Assets by
Tradewinds to the  Registrant in lieu of  foreclosure,  as described  above.  On
December  18,  1996,  the  Court  having  jurisdiction  over the AMG  bankruptcy
proceeding  approved the $275,000 payment and release among AMG,  Tradewinds and
the Registrant.  The Registrant anticipates that an order to this effect will be
entered shortly.

         The loans made to Tradewinds by the  Registrant  and the $275,000 to be
paid  to  the  Trustee  of  AMG  are  from  internally  generated  funds  of the
Registrant.
