Item 2.    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     Biospherics Incorporated ("Registrant") sold substantially all of the 
assets and business constituting its environmental and laboratory services 
business to ManTech Environmental Corporation ("ManTech"), a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of ManTech International Corporation.

     The sale closed on February 29, 1996 pursuant to the terms of an Asset 
Purchase Agreement dated as of February 27, 1996 (the "Purchase Agreement").  
A portion of the purchase price (approximately $185,000) was paid at closing; 
an additional amount based upon the receivables and work-in-process in 
existence on the date of closing is payable on or before March 14, 1996 (it 
is anticipated that such an additional amount will approximate $321,000).  
Further, the Purchase Agreement provides that in the event certain 
contingencies occur within 60 days of the closing date, Registrant will sell 
to ManTech certain additional assets relating to its environmental and 
laboratory services division.  If such contingencies occur, it is anticipated 
that Registrant will be entitled to an additional purchase price of 
approximately $70,700.
