  Item 2.   ACQUISITION OF ASSETS
  
  Effective January 1, 1994, Anuhco, Inc., ("Anuhco") through its
  subsidiary, Crouse Cartage Company ("Crouse Cartage"), exercised
  its purchase options under certain operating leases.  Crouse
  Cartage will purchase eleven (11) terminal facilities from P&R
  Realty, a sole proprietorship of Ruth Crouse, mother of Larry
  Crouse (President and Chief Executive Officer of Crouse Cartage
  Company; and Director and Vice President of Anuhco, Inc.) for
  approximately $2.6 million.  The option prices are based on the
  market value of each property, as established by an independent
  real estate appraiser, and are each equal to or less than such
  appraised values.  Crouse Cartage intends to finance these
  purchases through currently available operating funds, which will
  include borrowing  on its $2.5 million revolving credit agreement
  with Bankers Trust Company of Des Moines.  Crouse Cartage has
  utilized these facilities for its operations for numerous years and
  currently anticipates their continued use without change.
  
  As a result of this transaction, Anuhco's consolidated financial
  statements will be affected as follows:
  
  (a)  Operating Property, at cost, will increase by approximately
       $2.6 million;
  
  (b)  Cash and temporary cash investments will decrease and short-
       term borrowing will increase; the total of which will
       approximate $2.6 million;
  
  (c)  Operating Expense (Rents) is estimated to decrease an
       annualized $312,000;
  
  (d)  Operating Expense (Depreciation) is estimated to increase an
       annualized $58,000; 
  
  (e)  Operating Expense (Profit Sharing/Payroll) is estimated to
       increase an annualized $97,000; and
  
  (f)  Non-Operating Expense (Interest) is estimated to increase by
       an amount not to exceed $60,000 in 1994, and in diminishing
       amounts thereafter until any related balance on the revolver
       is fully repaid.
  
  
  Item 5.   OTHER EVENTS
  
  On February 23, 1993, a judgment in favor of Anuhco and American
  Freight System, Inc. ("AFS") was entered in the Circuit Court of
  Jackson County, Missouri, at Kansas City, Missouri ("the Court"). 
  This judgment was entered in a case filed by Anuhco and AFS against
  Westinghouse Credit Corporation ("WCC") seeking damages as a result
  of WCC's failure to provide financing pursuant to a loan commitment
  issued on June 3, 1988.  The judgment awarded $70 million in actual
  damages to be paid to Anuhco and AFS.  WCC filed motions with the
  Court to have this judgment set aside or to have a new trial
  granted.  On April 8, 1993 WCC's motions were overruled.  WCC filed
  a notice of appeal of this judgment with the Western District Court
  of Appeals  of Missouri ("the Appellate Court") and posted a $76.35
  million surety bond in support of such judgment, accrued interest
  (9% simple interest) and other costs.  Oral arguments before the
  Appellate Court were made on November 4, 1993, with an order
  expected during the first half of 1994.
  
  The Appellate Court could (i) reverse the Court's decision, thereby
  eliminating the judgment; (ii) remand the case to the Court for
  retrial; or (iii) affirm the Court's decision.  Even with the
  affirmation of the Appellate Court, WCC could request a rehearing
  before the Appellate Court and/or a transfer to the Missouri
  Supreme Court.  
  
  If the judgment is affirmed and/or is otherwise substantially
  collected and the other assets of the discontinued operations are
  liquidated, Anuhco could receive net proceeds of $29 million to $37
  million.  This represents $4 to $5 per share based on Anuhco's 7.5
  million currently outstanding shares.  Anuhco and AFS are unable to
  predict when or how this matter will ultimately be resolved.
