  Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
  
       On December 1, 1998 Ault Incorporated (the "Registrant")
  purchased certain operating assets of the power supply division of
  LZR Electronics, Inc., a closely held firm based in Gaithersburg,
  Maryland ("LZR").  LZR has no affiliation to the Registrant or
  any of its affiliates.  The assets purchased included inventory,
  fixed assets, contract and intellectual property rights and other
  operating assets.  Registrant paid an aggregate purchase price of
  $3,660,879 consisting of a cash payment of $2,580,879, delivery
  of a one year 8.0% convertible promissory note for $500,000 and an
  assumption of approximately $580,000 of certain liabilities.  The
  convertible promissory note may be converted at the option of the
  holder into 78,865 shares of Registrant's common stock.  Cash
  paid by Ault in the transaction was derived solely from available
  cash.  LZR's revenues relating to its power supply division for
  its calendar year 1997  were approximately $6,400,000 and the
  estimated revenues for its calendar year 1998 are $6,500,000.
  Registrant presently expects sales derived from the operating
  assets purchased will contribute to an increased level of
  profitability for the Registrant for its fiscal year ended May
  31, 1999.
  
  The assets purchased were used by LZR  in connection with its 
  power supply business, and it is the Registrant's intention to
  continue their utilization for similar purposes.
