ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On October 29, 1996, North American Resorts, Inc. ("North American" or
the "Company") entered into an agreement to sell assets with a book value of
$1,000,000 to Channel America Broadcasting, Inc. ("Channel America") for
Channel America's Series C Preferred Stock. The assets consisted of appraised
artwork used by the Company as promotional incentives in its sales programs.
Channel America issued the Company 50,000 shares of its Series C Preferred
Stock as payment. The Series C Preferred Stock converts into shares of Channel
America's restricted common stock upon redemption. The Company also received
"piggy-back" registration rights for the shares issued, as well as demand
registration rights which are effective one year after date of issuance.  Max
P. Cawal, a director of the Company, is also a director of Channel America,
however, Mr. Cawal abstained from the vote by the Company's Board of Directors
approving the transaction between the Company and Channel America.

                            ASSET EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

        This Asset Exchange Agreement is entered into as of October 29, 1996
between NORTH AMERICAN RESORTS, INC., a Colorado Corporation, ("North
American") and CHANNEL AMERICA BROADCASTING, INC., former EVRO Corporation, a
Florida Corporation, ("Channel America").

                                   WITNESSETH

        WHEREAS, North American owns certain items of artwork which are listed
on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Artwork");

        WHEREAS, North American would like to sell the Artwork and Channel
America would like to acquire the Artwork; and

        WHEREAS, North American would like to diversify its holdings by
acquiring a stock interest in Channel America.

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the sum of One Dollar
($1.00) each to the other in hand paid, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, and terms, conditions, covenants, and agreements hereinafter set
forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1.      Sale of Artwork.  North American agrees to sell, convey,
transfer, assign, and deliver to Channel America, and Channel America agrees to
purchase, acquire and accept the Artwork free and clear of all liens.

        2.      Purchase Price.  The total purchase price for the Artwork being
conveyed is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)
<PAGE>   2



subject to downward adjustment as provided below ("Purchase Price").  If the
Artwork appraises pursuant to subparagraph 11(b) below for less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000.00) then the Purchase Price shall be reduced to the
appraised value of the Artwork.

        3.      Payment of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be paid by
Channel America issuing to North American that number of shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value with a stated value of Ten Dollars
($10.00) ("Preferred Shares") of Channel America, which has an equivalent value
to the Purchase Price.  The number of Preferred Shares constituting full
purchase price will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

        Purchase Price/10 (stated value) x 50% (conversion rate to common 
        stock) = # of Preferred Shares to be issued

        For example, if the Purchase Price is $1,000,000, then 50,000 Preferred
        Shares would be issued, calculated as follows:

        1,000,000/10 x 50% = 50,000 Preferred Shares

        4.      Delivery of Preferred Shares.  At the Closing, Channel America
shall deliver to North American duly issued stock certificate(s) representing
that number of Preferred Shares calculated pursuant to Paragraph 3 above, which
certificate(s) shall be delivered free and clear of all encumbrances, liens,
security interests and restrictions (other than the restrictions imposed by this
Agreement and other than a standard Securities Act legend which will appear on
all such certificates).  The Preferred Shares of


                                      -2-

<PAGE>   3


Channel America which will be issued to North American, as well as common stock
of Channel America which will be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
in accordance with Paragraph 5 below (the "Common Shares"), as provided in this
Agreement:

                (a)     have not been, and with respect to the Common Shares may
not have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933
Act") or under any state securities laws ("Blue Sky Laws");

                (b)     will be issued by Channel America in reliance upon
exemptions from registration under the 1933 Act and applicable Blue Sky Laws;

                (c)     may not be resold by the holder thereof unless such
shares are registered under the 1933 Act and any applicable Blue Sky Law unless
exemptions from such registration requirements are available; and

                (d)     will be represented by a certificate(s) which contains
the following or a similar legend:

                The securities represented by this certificate may not be
                offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant
                to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
                of 1933 (the "Act"), or pursuant to an exemption from
                registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be
                established to the satisfaction of the Company.

        5.      Conversion of Preferred Shares.  The Preferred Shares shall be
convertible at the holder's option into Common Shares of


                                      -3-

<PAGE>   4
Channel America which will have the registration rights provided for in
Paragraph 6 below.  The Preferred Shares shall convert into Common Shares in
accordance with the terms of the "Amended Certificate of Designation,
Preferences, Rights and Limitation of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, No
Par Value of EVRO Corporation" attached hereto as Exhibit B.

        For example purposes, if the current market rate for common stock of
Channel America was $8.00 and 50,000 Preferred Shares were converted, the
holder would receive 125,000 Common Shares calculated as follows:

        # of Preferred Shares being converted/Conversion Price (which is
        one-half market value for common stock) x 10 = # of Common Shares

        50,000/4.00 x 10 = 125,000 Common Shares

The holder shall not be required to convert the Preferred Shares.

        6.      Registration Requirements.

                (a)     Commitment to Register Within One Year.  Channel
America will: (i) upon North American's request, within one year from the date
of this Agreement, at its expense, prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on form S-1 under the 1933 Act
relating to the resale to the public of the Common Shares held by North
American; (ii) use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement become
effective as promptly as possible; and (iii) furnish North American with copies
of such Registration Statement and any prospectus forming a part


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
thereof as may be necessary in connection with the resale or offering to the
public of the Common Shares covered thereby.

                (b)     "Piggyback" Registration Rights.  In addition to the
registration rights provided above, Channel America will advise North American,
at least ten days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement for shares
of Channel America of the same class as the Common Shares held by North
American, and at North American's request, will include at Channel America's
expense in such Registration Statement, North American's Common Shares;
provided, however, in the event that North American shall elect not to include
its Common Shares in such Registration Statement, Channel America will have no
further obligation with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement with
respect to the resale and offering to the public of the Common Shares held by
North American either pursuant to subparagraph (a) above or otherwise. 

        7.      Delivery of Artwork.  Channel America will take constructive
delivery of the Artwork by accepting delivery of the keys to the warehouse in
Minnesota where the Artwork is currently located.

        8.      Representations and Warranties of North American.  North
American represents and warrants to Channel America with respect to the Artwork

Artwork being conveyed hereunder, and has the right to and will convey the same
