Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On January 17, 1997, William Greenberg Deserts and Cafes Inc. (the
"Company") entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement") with Philip Grabow ("Grabow"), pursuant to which, on January 23,
1997, the Company consummated the purchase from Grabow of all the outstanding
shares of J.M. Specialties, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("JMS"), in exchange
for (i) $900,000 in cash, (ii) 500,000 shares (the "Shares") of the common stock
of the Company and (iii) 350,000 warrants (the "Warrants") exercisable for
shares of common stock of the Company (the "Transaction"). Each Warrant entitles
Grabow to purchase one share of Company common stock at the exercise price of
$2.50 per share until December 31, 2000. In connection with the Stock Purchase
Agreement, Grabow and the Company also entered (i) a registration rights
agreement, dated as of January 23, 1997, regarding the terms of the registration
of the shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, and (ii) an employment agreement dated as of January 23, 1997.
Pursuant to the employment agreement, Grabow will serve as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company at an annual salary level of $250,000 for the
first year, and a minimum of $150,000 thereafter. Also in connection with the
Transaction, effective January 23, 1997, Grabow was elected to serve as a
director of the Company. As a result of the Transaction, Grabow beneficially
owns 850,000 shares (or 24.48%) of the common stock of the Company.

     JMS offers a line of batter and frozen finished cakes, brownies and
muffins.

     In connection with the Transaction, the Company transferred all of the
business assets owned by the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary in exchange
for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of such entity (the
"Subsidiary"). As a result, the Company currently acts as holding company with
two wholly-owned subsidiaries, JMS and the Subsidiary. Subject to obtaining
consent of the Company's stockholders, the Company intends to change its name to
a name more descriptive of its operations.

     As part of the Transaction, the Company agreed to provide $600,000 to JMS
for working capital purposes. The payment of the cash portion of the purchase
price for JMS and such working capital, aggregating $1,500,000, was funded
through the net proceeds received from the sale by the Company of 1,500,000
common stock purchase warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") at a price of
$1.10 per Private Placement Warrant to a limited number of purchasers that
qualify as "accredited investors" under the Securities Act of 1933. The terms of
the Private Placement Warrants are substantially similar to the Warrants.
