Item 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On March 17, 1998, Rehabilicare Inc. (the "Company") completed its
acquisition of Staodyn, Inc. ("Staodyn") in accordance with the terms of an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 1, 1997. Pursuant to the terms
of such Agreement, Hippocrates Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company ("Subsidiary"), was merged (the "Merger") with and into Staodyn,
whereupon the separate existence of Subsidiary was terminated and Staodyn
continued as the surviving corporation. In the Merger, Rehabilicare issued
approximately 5,481,500 shares of its common stock, constituting .823 shares of
its common stock for each share of Staodyn outstanding immediately before the
Merger and for which holders of Staodyn common stock did not assert dissenters
rights. Holders of a total of 500 shares of common stock of Staodyn asserted
dissenters rights. As a result of the Merger Staodyn became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Rehabilicare.
