ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On December 31, 1996, United Sales Corporation ("United"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Registrant, merged with Maxwell Dynamometer Systems, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation under common control with Registrant and in which
Registrant held nine percent (9%) of the  outstanding common stock, par value
$1.00 per share (the "Maxwell Common Stock").  As a result, the business of
Maxwell is now wholly owned by United, the surviving corporation which changed
its name to Maxwell Dynamometer Systems, Inc. ("Maxwell").  Pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Maxwell Common Stock not already
owned by Registrant was converted into 192,332 shares of Registrant's newly
issued common stock, par value $.001 per share and 500,000 shares of
Registrant's newly issued Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $10.00
per share (the "Preferred Stock").  The Agreement and Plan of Merger gives 
Registrant a first right of refusal to repurchase the Preferred  Stock, in the 
event that the original holder thereof receives a bona fide offer to purchase 
any or all of that stock.  In March 1997, Capital Idea, Inc., the holder of 
the Preferred Stock, agreed to pledge the Preferred Stock as collateral for a 
loan to the Company.  In exchange, the Company amended the terms of the 
Preferred Stock to provide that it is convertible into Common Stock at the 
rate of one share of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock and that 
the Preferred Stock will have the same voting rights as Common Stock.

         Maxwell is engaged in the business of manufacturing and installing
customized dynamometer systems, particularly large dynamometer systems used in
the testing of trucks and buses.  In addition, Maxwell is the owner of certain
technology utilized by Registrant in the dynamometer systems which Registrant
manufactures for use in automobile emissions testing.  Maxwell is located in
Exton, Pennsylvania, in a leased facility consisting of approximately 3,500
square feet of office space and approximately 7,000 square feet of
manufacturing space.

Registrant as of the date hereof are included in Registrant's Form 10-KSB filed

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is willing to make such amendments:

      NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that subject to the further Resolutions set
forth herein, the directors approve and authorize amendment to the terms of the
Preferred Stock set forth in Exhibit B to the Unanimous Written Consent in Lieu
of Special Meeting of the Board of Directors adopted by the Board on December

      1 - Section 3. a. of Exhibit B is deleted in its entirety and replaced
      with the following:

              "3. a. Right to Convert. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this paragraph 3, the holder of any of the Class A Convertible
              Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option at any time
              from time to time, to convert each share of Class A Convertible
              Preferred Stock (except that upon any liquidation of the
              Corporation, the right of conversion shall terminate at the close
              of business on the last full business day next preceding the date
              fixed for payment of the amount distributable on the Preferred
              Shares) into one fully paid and nonassessable share of the
              Corporation's common stock $.001 par value per share (a total of
              500,000 shares) (the "Common Shares"). Such rights of conversion
              shall be exercised by the holder thereof by giving written notice
              that the holder elects to convert a stated number of 
<PAGE>   3
              
              shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Shares 
              and by surrender of a certificate or certificates for the shares 
              so to be converted to the Corporation at its principal office 
              (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the 
              Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the holder or 
              holders of the Preferred Stock) as any time during its usual 
              business hours on the date set forth in such notice, together 
              with a statement of the name or names (with address) in which 
              the certificate or certificates for Common Shares shall be 
              issued." 

      2 - Section 5 of Exhibit B is deleted in its entirety and replaced with 
      the following:

              "5. Voting. The holders of the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock
              shall have one vote for each share of Class A Convertible
              Preferred Stock which they hold, and shall vote as a single class
              with the holders of the Common Shares on all matters as to which
              the Common Shares are entitled to vote."

      BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the foregoing amendments to the terms of the
Preferred Stock shall not become effective unless Capital Idea pledges the
Preferred Stock as collateral for its guarantee of repayment for borrowings from
the Bank pursuant to financing arrangements substantially the same as the
arrangements presently being sought by the Corporation; and

      BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Corporation be, and they
hereby are, authorized to do and perform all such acts and things and to execute
and deliver all such
