ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On August  30,  1996,  pursuant  to an Asset  Purchase  Agreement  (the
"Purchase  Agreement")  dated as of July 22, 1996, by and among Morgan  Products
Ltd.  (the  "Company"),   Tennessee  Building  Products,  Inc.,  Titan  Building
Products, Inc. ("Titan") (collectively, "TBP"), James Fishel, James Schulman and
Tennessee Building Products, Inc., as shareholder of Titan, the Company acquired
substantially  all of the assets of TBP.  TBP used the  purchased  assets in its
business  as a  distributor  of  windows,  doors,  kitchen  cabinets,  and other
millwork  products to  residential  builders and other  customers  and also as a
distributor  of window glass,  mirrors,  and other glass  products.  The Company
intends to continue using the purchased assets for such purposes.

         The  purchased  assets  generally  include (i) leases  with  respect to
manufacturing  and/or  distribution  facilities  in Charlotte,  North  Carolina;
Chattanooga,  Tennessee;  Greenville,  South Carolina; and Huntsville,  Alabama,
(ii)  substantially  all of the machinery  and equipment  used by TBP, and (iii)
substantially all of the inventories and receivables of TBP.

         Under the  terms of the  Purchase  Agreement,  the  purchase  price was
approximately  $15.3  million,  representing  the Historical Net Asset Value (as
defined in the Purchase  Agreement) at December 31, 1995. The purchase price was
based upon the  assumption  that the Closing Date Net Asset Value (as defined in
the  Purchase  Agreement)  would  equal the  Historical  Net Asset Value for the
assets  acquired and  liabilities  assumed.  The purchase price will be adjusted
upward or downward to the extent the Closing  Date Net Asset Value  differs from
the Historical Net Asset Value. Such determination is expected to be made within
90 days of the closing date, as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase
was  entirely  in cash,  which the Company  financed  with  borrowings  under an
existing  revolving  credit facility.  The Company  maintains a credit agreement
with Fleet Capital,  which provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $65
millon through July 13, 1998.
