ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On August 14, 2000, GSV, Inc. ("GSV"), formerly known as CyberShop
International, Inc., completed the sale of its retailing subsidiary, MG
Acquisition Corp., doing business as Tools for Living, to a new entity formed by
two executives of Tools for Living, Ian S. Phillips and Howard J. Kuntz III,
for consideration including (i) approximately 896,000 shares of common stock of
GSV, (ii) the purchaser's assumption of the Tools for Living liabilities, and
(iii) the release of all obligations owing to the executives under their
respective employment agreements. This sale substantially completes GSV's
divestiture of its retailing assets and the transition to its recently adopted
Internet incubator and investment strategy.

entirety by reference to the text of the Stock Purchase Agreement which is
included as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

      (a) Incorporated by reference is the Form 10-Q of GSV for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2000 filed on August 15, 2000 which reflects the sale of
Tools for Living as a discontinued operation.

      (c) The following Exhibits are provided in accordance with the provisions
of Item 601 of Regulation S-K and are filed herewith unless otherwise noted.
