ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

          On December 17, 1998, The Colonel's, Inc. ("Seller"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of The Colonel's International, Inc. (the "Company"),
completed the sale (the "Sale") of substantially all of Seller's assets
used in the business of manufacturing and selling plastic replacement
bumpers, facias and related parts.  The buyer ("Buyer") was AutoLign
Manufacturing Group, Inc. (formerly known as Colonel's Acquisition Corp.),
a newly formed Delaware corporation affiliated with an investor group led
by Philip B. Storm.

          The Sale was conducted pursuant to an Amended and Restated Asset
Purchase Agreement dated November 23, 1998, as amended by a First Amendment
to Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 1998
(collectively, the "Asset Purchase Agreement").  The Sale and the other
transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement were approved by
the Company's shareholders at a special meeting held on December 17, 1998
at the Company's headquarters.

          Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for
the assets was $38,000,000.  In addition, at the closing of the Sale Buyer
assumed approximately $712,000 of accounts payable and certain of Seller's
other obligations.  Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
$250,000 of the purchase price was deposited in escrow for the purpose of
satisfying certain environmental investigation and potential cleanup
obligations of Seller following the closing.  The purchase price and the
other terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement were arrived at pursuant to
negotiations between the Company and Buyer.

          In connection with the Sale, Buyer and 620 Platt Road, L.L.C.
(the "Property Seller") consummated the sale of the facility located at 620
South Platt Road, Milan, Michigan (the "Milan Property"), which was leased
by Seller from the Property Seller.  The Property Seller is a Michigan
limited liability company owned by Donald J. Williamson, the Company's
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and a major shareholder
of the Company, and his wife, Patsy L. Williamson.  The purchase price
for the Milan Property was approximately $12 million.

          Also in connection with the Sale, Gary Moore, the Secretary of
Seller and the Company and Seller's head of Customer Relations, Terry
Sheir, Seller's Sales Manager, and Ludwig Rupff, Seller's Plant Manager
became employees of Buyer.

     5.   Section 9.07 is amended to delete the words "Section 2.22" in
clause (ii) and insert the words "Section 2.23" in their place.

     6.   Section 10.06 is amended to delete the third sentence thereof and
insert the following in its place:

          In addition, to the extent that any Environmental Matter has not
been successfully remediated as of the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly
complete the successful remediation thereof after the Closing Date.  Buyer
agrees to consider any reasonable request of Seller to modify Schedule 9.09
after the Closing, based upon information provided by Seller to Buyer.  By
no later than three business days after selection of the Environmental
Consultant (as provided in Schedule 9.09), Seller and Buyer shall meet with
the Environmental Consultant to discuss the nature and scope of
environmental work to be performed by the Environmental Consultant.

          Prior to the implementation of Seller's investigation or
remediation of the real property and subject to Buyer's approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Seller shall provide Buyer
with a proposed scope of work, schedule for implementation and completion
of Seller's remediation, and estimated costs to perform Seller's
remediation.  Seller shall incorporate Buyer's reasonable requests into its
scope of work and schedule.  Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate so as to
minimize the additional costs which need to be incurred by Buyer in its
performance of a baseline environmental assessment for the property, which
shall include using their best efforts to conduct those soil and
groundwater testing and soil removal actions at such time so that Buyer may
use the results thereof in its preparation of a baseline environmental
assessment (it being understood that some of Seller's environmental work
may not be conducted until after the deadline for Buyer's conduct of its
baseline environmental assessment).  Nothing herein shall obligate Buyer to
conduct a baseline environmental assessment or impose liability on Buyer in
connection therewith.


                                     -2-

          Seller agrees to provide Buyer with copies of all correspondence,
notifications, reports, analyses and/or other information Seller sends to
or receives from any applicable agency, or as otherwise developed, in
connection with Seller's remediation, within two business days of receipt
or sending thereof by Seller or the Environmental Consultant.  Upon
reasonable notice, Seller shall have the right to enter the Property at all
reasonable times, as necessary, to complete Seller's remediation, and in a
manner which shall not unreasonably interfere with Buyer's use of and
operations at the Property.  To the extent legally permitted, Seller shall
procure and maintain in its own name any permits, licenses, or other
regulatory authorization necessary to perform Seller's remediation,
provided that Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in the procurement and
maintenance of any such required authorizations and shall, if required by
law, obtain needed permits and execute and file (if required by law) all
waste manifests in its own name.  Buyer agrees to cooperate and execute
such documents legally necessary to achieve an unrestricted industrial
closure of the property pursuant to MCL 324.20101, et. seq., and also
agrees, if reasonably necessary, to consent to the imposition of reasonable
restrictive covenants in order to assist Seller in obtaining clean closure
in accordance with applicable law.  Specifically, Buyer agrees that
restrictive covenants may include the following: (i) an agreement not to
install or use groundwater wells on the Milan Property; (ii) the
maintenance of any impermeable barriers or existing buildings on the Milan
Property, subject to Buyer's reasonable objections; (iii) the maintenance
of fences to restrict access; and (iv) any other reasonable restrictive
covenant consistent with Buyer's use and development of the Milan Property
for industrial purposes that Buyer and Seller agree to negotiate in good
faith.  The terms of a restrictive covenant shall include a mechanism to
remove the restrictions under appropriate circumstances.  Any maintenance
required under this section shall not result in expenses to Buyer that
would not be incurred in the ordinary course of Buyer's business.

          To assure performance of Seller's obligation to complete Seller's
remediation subsequent to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer agree to the
creation of an Environmental Escrow Fund as provided in section 9.11.

          For purposes of this Agreement, each Environmental Matter shall
be considered "successfully remediated" when, unless waived by Buyer in
writing as to each Environmental Matter, (a) the Environmental Consultant
certifies to Buyer that the real property, method of operation or other
property or activity affected by such Environmental Matter is in full
compliance with all applicable Environmental Requirements (as that term is
defined in SECTION 2.23), and (b) as to the condition of the real property
affected by the Environmental Matter which causes some or all of the real
property to be considered a "facility" pursuant to MCL 324.20101, et. seq.,
and unless waived by Buyer in writing as to each Environmental Matter, the
investigation, remediation or other response activity has been completed to


                                     -3-
<PAGE>
the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer and the written satisfaction of the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ("MDEQ").  Seller's
investigation and remediation of the Milan Property to be performed by
Seller shall be the most economically reasonable response action required
under applicable law, subject to the limitations contained herein.  Seller
shall not be responsible to remediate any environmental contamination below
applicable cleanup criteria.  Seller shall have no obligation or liability
with respect to any environmental liabilities arising out of (i) any
environmental contamination which results from any event which arises after
the Closing Date or (ii) any environmental contamination that Seller is
unable to address as a result of any unreasonable interference by Buyer or
any unreasonable refusal by Buyer to provide access requested by Seller. 
Any such response activity shall be deemed completed when the MDEQ provides
Seller with a letter confirming that (i) all remedial activities necessary
to satisfy "unlimited industrial" criteria established pursuant to MCL
324.20201, et. seq. (or "limited industrial" criteria applied consistently
with this section), have been satisfied for the Milan Property and all
agreements or notices required in connection with such approval have been
completed (subject only to execution by Buyer, if required), and (ii) all
wells have been decommissioned and removed in accordance with law."

     8.   Section 9.11 is hereby inserted as follows:

          9.11 ENVIRONMENTAL ESCROW.

          (a)  An Environmental Escrow Fund in the amount of Two Hundred
     Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) shall be established at Closing
     and fully funded by Seller to secure performance of Seller's
     obligations under Section 9.09 above.  Seller and Buyer shall execute
     the Environmental Escrow Fund Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
     9.11 at the Closing.

          (b)  The funds in the Environmental Escrow Fund shall be released
     periodically and paid directly to the Environmental Consultant upon
     approval by Buyer and Seller or approval is deemed provided pursuant
     to the Environmental Escrow Fund Agreement.  Buyer shall be reasonable
     and cooperative with respect to exercising its approval of the
     Environmental Consultant's request for payment of invoices.  After the
     Closing, all reasonable costs of the Environmental Consultant shall be
     paid from the Environmental Escrow Fund.  Seller shall be permitted to
     replace the Environmental Consultant with another environmental
     consultant, provided that Buyer first approves of any successor
     Environmental Consultant, which approval shall not be unreasonably
     withheld or delayed.

          (c)  If Seller fails, refuses or delays to engage an acceptable
     environmental consultant or direct the payment of funds necessary to


                                     -4-
<PAGE>
     complete the remediation or satisfaction of Environmental Matters
     required by this Agreement to the satisfaction of Buyer, then Buyer
     may engage its environmental consultant to perform any or all of the
     required environmental activities and make claims for such costs
     against the Environmental Escrow Fund in the same manner as Seller, as
     provided in the Environmental Escrow Fund Agreement.  In such case,
     Seller shall receive notice of Buyer's filed claim against the Fund,
     in the same manner as Buyer would receive for claims made by Seller.

     9.   Section 9.08 is amended to delete the words "SECTION 9.09" and
insert in their place the words "SECTIONS 9.09 AND 9.12."

     10.  The following is added as a new 9.12 of the Agreement:

          9.12.  OSHA MATTERS.  Buyer shall be entitled to full
     indemnification from Seller, and Seller shall fully and completely
     indemnify Buyer for any demands, claims, actions, or causes of action,
     assessments, losses, settlements, fines, penalties, forfeitures,
     expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), damages and
     liabilities, including the cost of any corrective measures required in
     connection therewith, arising from the inspection prior to the Closing
     by State or Federal authorities pursuant to the Michigan Industrial,
     Occupational, Safety and Health Act ("MIOSHA") and/or the Federal
     Occupational, Safety and Health Act ("OSHA").
