ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

(a)  As previously reported by FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc. (the "Company") in
     a Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 6, 1998, on June 19, 1998 the
     Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of
     Burgess Honda, an automobile dealership located in Daly City, California.
     Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 29, 1998 (the
     "Purchase Agreement") by and between the Company, Burgess British Cars,
     Inc., a California corporation ("BBC"), Tudor Enterprises, Inc., a
     California corporation ("Tudor"), and Keith Burgess as sole stockholder of
     BBC, the Company acquired certain assets (the "Purchased Assets"),
     consisting primarily of new motor vehicle inventory, parts, accessories,
     furniture and equipment, and certain related tangible and intangible
     assets, including goodwill, used primarily in connection with the operation
     by BBC of Burgess Honda. The purchase price of the Purchased Assets was
     $3.7 million plus the value of new vehicle inventory at the date of 
     closing totaling $1.9 million.

     The Purchase Price was paid in cash, partially from the proceeds of a $4.0
     million loan from Donald V. Strough, the Chairman of the Company's Board of
     Directors, to the Company, pursuant to the terms of a Letter Agreement
     between the Company and Mr. Strough dated July 11, 1998 (the "Letter
     Agreement"). Mr. Strough obtained the $4.0 million from a commercial bank
     in the form of a loan to Mr. Strough in his personal capacity. Pursuant to
     the terms of the Letter Agreement, Mr. Strough will be paid a 3%
     origination fee on the loan. The principal amount due on the loan will be
     repaid pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement and not later than
     June 1, 1999. The terms of the loan were based on arm's length
     negotiation between the Company and Mr. Strough. The $1.9 million new
     motor vehicle inventory portion of the Purchase Price was paid from the
     Company's existing credit facility.

(b)  BBC is a privately held company specializing in the sale of new and used
     automobiles and replacement parts and used that part of the Purchased
     Assets which consisted of equipment and other physical property in such
     capacity.  The Company intends to use these assets in the same capacity.

                           INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Burgess Honda (as defined 
in note 1) as of September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of
operations and retained earnings and cash flows for the three years ended
September 30, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of
FirstAmerica Automotive Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Burgess Honda (as defined in
note 1) as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the three year period ended
September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

        Honda vehicles as well as used vehicles, vehicle financing and
        insurance and replacement parts and service.

   (b)  BASIS OF PREPARATION

        The accompanying financial statements reflect the historical financial
        position, results of operations and cash flows for Burgess Honda,
        certain of which were subsequently sold to FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc.
        (note 8). The operations of Burgess Honda represent the revenue and
        direct expenses of the Company, do not include any allocation of costs
        from Burgess British Cars, Inc. and may not be indicative of operations
        that would be incurred on a stand-alone basis.

   (c)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
        three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents.

   (d)  INVENTORIES

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, new vehicle cost
        is determined by using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. Used
        vehicle cost is determined using the specific identification basis.
        Parts and accessories cost is determined using the first-in, first-out
        (FIFO) basis.

   (e)  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment is stated at cost. Property and equipment are
        being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
        life of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized straight-line
        over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the
        asset. The range of estimated useful lives are as follows:

            Leasehold improvements               15 years
            Equipment                            5 to 7 years
            Furniture and fixtures               5 to 7 years
            Company vehicles                     5 years

        The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred, while
        significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. When an asset is
        retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated
        depreciation are removed from the account, and any gain or loss is
        credited or charged to income.

   (f)  INCOME TAXES

        The Company elected S Corporation status for federal and state income
        tax reporting purposes. Federal income taxes on S Corporation income
        were payable by the individual stockholders rather than the corporation.
        California state income taxes for S Corporations are 1.5% of pretax
        income.

                                      F-7
<PAGE>
 
   (g)  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The carrying amount of trade receivables, trade payables, accrued
        liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because of
        the short-term nature of these instruments.

        Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
        relevant market information about the financial instrument. These
        estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters
        of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
        precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the
        estimates.

   (h)  ADVERTISING

        The Company expenses production and other costs of advertising as
        incurred. Advertising expenses were $102,000 and $217,000 for the
        unaudited six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
        and $372,000, $261,000 and $159,000 for the years ended September 30,
        1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

   (i)  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

        Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are
        limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's
        customer base.

   (j)  USE OF ESTIMATES

        These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
        accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
        This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
        the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
        contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
        statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
        reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   (k)  REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Vehicle sales revenue is recognized upon delivery, when the sales
        contract is signed and down payment has been received. Notes received
        from buyers are generally sold to finance companies. Finance fees are
        received for notes sold to finance companies and are recognized, net of
        anticipated charge backs, upon acceptance of the credit by the finance
        companies. These fees are included in service, parts, and other revenues
        in the statements of operations. Parts and service revenues are
        recognized at the time of sale or service.

        The Company recognizes fees from the sale of third party extended
        warranty service contracts at the time of sale. For extended warranty
        service contracts where the Company is the primary obligor of the
        contract, the costs directly related to sales of the contracts are
        deferred and charged to expense proportionately as the revenues are
        recognized. Warranty service contract revenues are included in service,
        parts, and other revenues in the statements of operations.

   (l)  MAJOR SUPPLIER AND DEALER AGREEMENT

        The Company purchases substantially all of its new vehicles and
        inventory from one manufacturer at the prevailing prices charged by the
        manufacturer. The Company's overall sales could be impacted by the
        manufacturer's inability or unwillingness to supply the dealership with
        an adequate supply of popular models.

        The Company enters into dealer sales and service agreements (Dealer
        Agreements) with the manufacturer. The Dealer Agreements generally limit
        the location of the dealership and mandates the manufacturer's approval
        rights over changes in dealership management and

                                      F-8
<PAGE>
 
        ownership. The manufacturer is also entitled to terminate the agreement
        if the dealership is in material breach of the terms.

     Contracts in transit receivables are due from financial institutions and
     regional banks for funding of customer vehicle purchases and are normally
     collected within 30 days. Trade receivables primarily consist of commercial
     receivables for parts sales and finance receivables from financial
     institutions for financing commissions. Manufacturer and other receivables
     consist of amounts due from manufacturers for rebates on vehicle purchases
     (holdbacks), manufacturer incentives and reimbursable warranty coverage
     expenses.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data of
FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc. (the Company) and Burgess Honda have been
prepared to present the effect of the acquisition of Burgess Honda by the
Company as if such acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the respective
periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 was
prepared by combining only those assets of Burgess Honda that were purchased by
the Company. Unaudited pro forma adjustments to the historical balance sheets of
the Company and Burgess Honda at March 31, 1998 primarily consist of adjustments
required to eliminate those assets and liabilities in the historical Burgess
Honda financial statements which were not acquired by the Company, as well as
increases in debt and goodwill resulting from the transaction. The unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
consists of the Company's audited consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1997 plus the Burgess Honda audited statement of
operations for the year ended September 30, 1997, together with unaudited pro
forma adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma
consolidated results of operations of both entities. Such unaudited pro forma
adjustments are based on the terms and structure of the transaction, and include
operating adjustments such as incremental floor plan notes payable and other
notes payable interest expense, goodwill amortization and the related net income
tax effect. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 consists of the Company's unaudited
consolidated statement of operations and the Burgess Honda unaudited statement
of operations, each for the three months ended March 31, 1998, together with
unaudited pro forma adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the
unaudited pro forma results of operations of both entities.

The following unaudited pro forma financial data may not be indicative of the
results of operations that would have actually occurred had the transaction been
in effect as of the beginning of the respective periods, nor do they purport to
indicate the Company's future results of operation.  This information and
accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May
14, 1998, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 1998 and the
Burgess Honda financial statements included elsewhere in this report on Form 8-
K/A.

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

(a)  This adjustment records a reduction for cash not acquired net of amounts
     received on amounts borrowed.

(b)  Net assets not acquired by the Company are eliminated from the unaudited
     pro forma consolidated financial statements.

(c)  The purchase price of $3,762,000 was allocated to the assets acquired net
     of liabilities assumed based on the relative fair value which resulted in
     an allocation to goodwill of $3.4 million.

(d)  The Company borrowed $4 million from the Chairman of the Company's Board of
     Directors for the acquisition of Burgess Honda.  The loan is due June 1,
     1999 and has an 8.75% interest rate.

(e)  Amortization expense on $3,417,000 in goodwill using a 40-year estimated
     useful life is $85,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $21,000 for
     the three month period ended March 31, 1998. 

(f)  Represents the incremental decrease in floor plan interest expense due to
     the Company's replacing the Burgess Honda floor plan arrangement with the
     Company's corporate contractual master floor plan agreement with General
     Electric California Corporation. The average interest rate under the
     Company's master agreement is the prime interest rate plus .75%, compared
     to the prime interest rate plus 2.0% for Burgess Honda.

(g)  Reflects the incremental interest expense incurred on borrowings used to
     acquire Burgess Honda. The Company borrowed $4 million from the Company's
     Chairman of the Board pursuant to the terms of a Letter Agreement between
     the Company and the Chairman. Amortization expense on $120,000 in loan
     origination fees using a one year life is $120,000 for the year ended
     December 31, 1997 and $30,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
     1998.

(h)  Reflects the change in accounting for inventories from Burgess Honda's
     last-in, first-out method to the Company's first-in, first-out method.  The
     increase in the reserve for the year ended September 30, 1997 totaled
     $19,000.

(i)  The increase in income tax results from the application of FirstAmerica
     Automotive, Inc.'s historical effective rate for the periods presented to
     the pretax income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
     Income taxes increased on a pro forma basis for both periods presented due
     to an increase in federal and state income taxes applicable to Burgess
     Honda income, net of pro forma adjustments. The increase is attributable
     to Burgess Honda's S Corporation tax status for the periods presented which
     had resulted in no federal income taxes and a state income tax rate of
     1.5%.
