ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On June 3, 1997, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the
assets of Current Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and an indirect
subsidiary of the Company  ("CTI"), to Danaher Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and CTI Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware Corporation pursuant to
the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 14, 1997, and
amended on April 16, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement").  The purchase price
received at the closing was $25,500,000.00 in cash and the assumption by CTI
Acquisition Corporation of approximately $1,300,000.00 in certain specified
liabilities of CTI.  The purchase price is subject to a post closing adjustment
to the extent the Net Tangible Assets of CTI as of May 31, 1997, is more or less
than $2,500,000.00.  The term Net Tangible Assets is defined in the Purchase
Agreement as the amount by which the sum of the accounts receivable (net of
reserves), inventories (net of reserves), prepaid assets, fixed assets (net of
depreciation), deposits and other assets included in the Acquired Assets (as
also defined in the Purchase Agreement) excluding all intangibles other than the
Texas A & M license, exceeds the sum of accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
contract liabilities, lease liabilities and taxes included in the Assumed
Liabilities, as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement).  The Closing Date Balance Sheet is to be prepared and
submitted to CTI Acquisition Corporation within 45 days after the Closing.

     The assets sold include substantially of the assets owned by CTI and used
in connection with its business, including without limitation, all inventory,
accounts receivable, tangible personal property, intellectual property rights
and contracts.  The purchase price for the subject assets was determined through
negotiations between the Company and the Buyer.  The Company retained Southwest
Securities to render an opinion to the Board of Directors of the Company as to
the fairness to the Company, from a financial point of view, of the
consideration to be received by CTI in connection with the proposed transaction.
Southwest Securities delivered an opinion to the Board of Directors to the
effect that, as of February 17, 1997, and based upon and subject to stated
assumptions, the consideration to be received by CTI in the subject transaction
was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.  This opinion is
attached as Appendix III to the Company's Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting of
Stockholders held on May 16, 1997.

     Prior to the consummation of such transaction, no material relationship
existed between any of such persons and the Company or any of its affiliates,
directors or officers, or any associate of any such director or officer.
However, effective as of the Closing Date of the subject transaction, Walter D.
Rogers, Jr., a director of the Company, terminated his employment with CTI, and
became the president of CTI Acquisition Corporation.  Mr. Rogers continues to
serve as a member of the Board of Directors of Buffton Corporation.

     Effective upon the Closing of the subject transaction, CTI changed its name
to Story Road, Inc., and CTI Acquisition Corporation changed its name to Current
Technology, Inc.
