ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On June 15, 1999, SY  Acquisition,  Inc., a wholly owned  subsidiary of
the Registrant  (the  "Purchaser")  completed its cash tender offer (the "Tender
Offer") for all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Shelby Williams
Industries, Inc. ("Shelby Williams") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of May 5, 1999 (the "Acquisition  Agreement")  providing for the Tender
Offer and the "Merger" (defined below) whereupon Shelby Williams became a wholly
owned   subsidiary  of  Falcon.   Shelby  Williams  is  the  leading   designer,
manufacturer  and  distributor  of  seating  products  used  in the  hospitality
(including  lodging,  gaming,  interval  vacation and country club) and the food
service industries. Shelby Williams will continue its operations as a subsidiary
of the Registrant.

         The  Purchaser  accepted for payment the  8,613,271  shares  (including
27,700 shares  subject to guaranteed  delivery)  tendered in the Tender Offer at
$16.50 per share for a total purchase price of $142,118,971.50.  The purchase of
the  shares  resulted  in  the  Purchaser  acquiring  approximately  98%  of the
outstanding common stock of Shelby Williams.  The completion of Purchaser's cash
Tender  Offer was  followed  by the  merger of  Purchaser  with and into  Shelby
Williams  on June 18,  1999 (the  "Merger"),  pursuant  to which  the  remaining
148,146 shares of Shelby  Williams common stock were converted into the right to
receive $16.50 in cash. The purchase  price for the Shelby  Williams  shares was
determined  pursuant  to  arms-length  negotiations  between  the  parties.  The
Registrant's source of funds for its acquisition of Shelby Williams consisted of
(i) the net  proceeds  of a term loan of  $70,000,000  provided  by DLJ  Capital
Funding,  Inc.,  (ii) the net  proceeds  of the  Registrant's  ten  year  senior
subordinated  notes in the aggregate  principal  amount of  $100,000,000,  which
notes were privately placed with certain institutional investors, and (iii) cash
on hand of  Registrant.  Other than in connection  with the Tender Offer and the
Merger  contemplated  by  the  Acquisition  Agreement,  there  was  no  material
relationship between Shelby Williams, on the one hand, and the Registrant or any
of its affiliates,  or any director or officer of Registrant or any associate of
any such director of officer, on the other hand.
