ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 8, 1995 the registrant acquired all of the worldwide 3-In-One
brand trademarks and other intangible assets relating to the sale of 3-In-One
brand lubricating oil products from Reckitt & Colman Inc., a Delaware
corporation, Reckitt & Colman (Overseas) Limited, an English corporation, and
other affiliates of Reckitt & Colman P.L.C., an English corporation, hereafter
referred to as the "Sellers".
The 3-In-One brand is also used by the Sellers in connection with the sale
of furniture maintenance and metal polish products in Mexico and certain South
and Central American countries. The Sellers have retained an exclusive, royalty-
free perpetual general license for use of the 3-In-One brand on the furniture
maintenance and metal polish products sold in existing markets.
The acquisition of assets includes inventory on hand together with
additional inventory to be produced by the Sellers over a period of sixty days.
No other physical property, plant or equipment was acquired.
The registrant paid cash in the amount of $15,000,000.00 for the trademarks
and other intangible assets and an estimated $950,000.00 for inventory. None of
the funds required for the acquisition were borrowed. The purchase price was
based primarily upon the historical sales of 3-In-One Oil products and the
expected return on equity to be provided by such sales.
