Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On March 12, 1999, the registrant completed its acquisition of Multi Trade
Company, a Polish partnership ("MTC"), located in Bialystock, a city in
northeastern Poland. The registrant established a new wholly owned Polish
limited liability company which purchased the assets used to operate MTC's
business and assumed certain of MTC's liabilities. The registrant also acquired
the trademark and tradename of MTC and on completion of the acquisition renamed
its new Polish subsidiary Multi Trade Company, a Polish partnership, MTC was
and continues to be a distributor of alcoholic beverages in Poland, as is the
registrant's other subsidiary in Poland.
The registrant issued 254,258 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01
per share to the previous owners of MTC in connection with the acquisition, and
its wholly owned Polish subsidiary Carey Agri International Poland Sp. z o.o.
