Item 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On March 28, 1997, Keystone Automotive Industries, Inc. (the
"Registrant") consummated the acquisition of North Star Plating Company ("North
Star") through the merger (the "Merger") of North Star Merger, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Registrant, into North Star. The former shareholders of
North Star received 362.3088 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant for
each share of the Common Stock of North Star owned on the effective date of the
Merger. An aggregate of 2,450,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant
were issued in connection with the Merger (or approximately 25.1% of the shares
of the Common Stock of the Registrant issued and outstanding immediately after
the Merger). North Star is a distributor of aftermarket collision replacement
parts produced by independent manufacturers for automobiles and light trucks and
a recycler and producer of chrome plated and plastic bumpers. The Merger was
accounted for as a "pooling of interests."
