ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     (a)  On June 21, 1996, Registrant through a newly organized, wholly-owned 
subsidiary, purchased from unaffiliated persons, namely, Messrs. Allen W. Duhr, 
Joseph F. Bennett, Alan J. Kastelic, Robert E. Klemm and Jay R. Hanamann, 
(herein the "Shareholders") all of the issued and outstanding stock (the 
"Conforms Stock") of Construction Forms, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation 
("ConForms") and its affiliate C F Gilco, Inc. ("Gilco") and all of the issued 
and outstanding units of another affiliate, JABCO, LLC, a Wisconsin limited 
liability company ("JABCO") for an aggregate cash consideration of $20,599,487, 
of which $567,087 were Registrant's acquisition costs and of which $1,500,000 is
held in escrow pending certain environmental remediation on property held by 
ConForms. In connection with the acquisition of ConForms, Registrant also 
acquired all of the outstanding stock of CF Ultra Tech, Inc., a wholly-owned 
Wisconsin subsidiary of ConForms ("Ultra Tech").

     ConForms is a leading manufacturer and distributor of systems of pipes, 
couplings and hoses and other equipment used for the pumping of concrete. It 
manufactures a wide variety of finished products with which it creates 
appropriate configurations of systems for various concrete pumps. UltraTech 
processes steel pipe into abrasion resistant hardened pipe for use in such 
industries as mining, pulp and paper, power and waste treatment. Gilco produces 
a line of concrete and plaster/mortar mixers.

     The transaction was negotiated at arm's length and was based upon
Management's analysis of ConForms' assets and properties, historical
profitability and growth, industry position, business prospects and market
valuations of companies considered to be in related industries and businesses.
Funds utilized in the acquisition included approximately $4,800,000 of
Registrant's operating capital, approximately $9,740,000 available under a
Master Credit Agreement between LaSalle National Bank of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
("LaSalle"), ConForms, Gilco and UltraTech (collectively the "Borrowers") and
$6,800,000 under a Loan Agreement between Bank Audi USA of New York, New York
("Bank Audi") and the Borrowers. JABCO provided a guarantee in connection with
the LaSalle and Bank Audi loans.

     The LaSalle facility includes an $8,000,000 working capital line, of which
$5,440,000 was drawn upon at closing, a $4,300,000 term/overadvance funding line
and a $3,000,000 letter of credit to support an Industrial Revenue Bond issued
on the JABCO property. All such facilities are cross-collateralized by the
corporate assets of ConForms, Ultra Tech and Gilco, including accounts
receivable, inventory and property and equipment as well as certain marketable
securities of Registrant. The Credit Agreement contains covenants customary in
such arrangements, including maintenance of certain financial ratios and minimum
tangible net worth and limitations on capital expenditures. For details,
reference is made to the Master Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10(vi) to
this Report.

     The Bank Audi long-term facility is subordinated to LaSalle. For details, 
reference is made to the Loan Agreement filed as Exhibit 10 (vii) to this 
Report. In connection therewith, William Finneran, Chairman of the Board and a 
principal shareholder of the Registrant, provided collateral to the Bank to 
support a guaranty of repayment by Borrowers of the principal and interest on 
the loan. The guaranty is limited to the collateral value. The foregoing 
arrangement was made by Mr. Finneran to reduce Registrant's cost of borrowed 
funds from that which would have been otherwise obtainable from unaffiliated 
"mezzanine" lenders. In consideration of his providing such collateral, 
Registrant issued to Mr. Finneran a ten (10) year Warrant to purchase 500,000 
shares of Registrant's Common Stock exercisable at a price of $1.60 per share. 
At the time the transaction was negotiated, Registrant's Common Stock was quoted
at approximately $4 per share and, on

                                      -1-
<PAGE>
 
the date the ConForms acquisition was consummated, the closing sale price for 
Registrant's Common Stock in the over-the-counter market was $7 1/2 per share. 
In approving the transaction, the Board of Directors of the Company received the
opinion of Commonwealth Associates, a New York based investment banking firm, 
that the warrants issued to Mr. Finneran in return for the guarantee was fair, 
from a financial point of view, to common stockholders of the Company.

     (b) As indicated in (a) above, the ConForms purchase entailed the 
acquisition of certain property, plant and equipment used in the ConForms
business. Registrant intends to continue to continue the use of such assets as
previously utilized.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
  of Construction Forms, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Construction Forms,
Inc. and subsidiaries and JABCO, LLC (the "Company") as of January 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related combined statements of earnings, equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all 
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 1996 
and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the 
three years in the period ended January 31, 1996 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

           CONSTRUCTION FORMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND JABCO, LLC


NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Principles of Combination - The combined financial statements include the
    accounts of Construction Forms, Inc., its 80%-owned subsidiary, CF Gilco,
    Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary CF Ultra Tech, Inc. and JABCO, LLC
    (collectively the Company). All material intercompany accounts and
    transactions have been eliminated. The Company has a January 31, fiscal year
    end whereas JABCO, LLC has a December 31, fiscal year end.

    Nature of Operations - The Company primarily engages in the design,
    manufacture, and sale of concrete pumping accessories, concrete and
    mortar/plaster mixers, and abrasion resistant steel piping. The Company's
    principal market is in North America with limited sales activity in Europe.

    Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all temporary investments with 
    maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

    Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally
    last-in, first-out method) or market. It is not practical to segregate the
    components of raw material, work-in-process and finished goods at the
    balance sheet date.

    Depreciation - The cost of plant and equipment is depreciated over the
    estimated useful lives of the various assets: buildings and improvements 
    15-40 years, machinery and equipment 3-8 years. Depreciation expense is
    computed by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by
    accelerated methods for tax purposes.

    Intangibles - Goodwill is amortized over a ten year period, organizational 
    costs are amoritzed over a five year period.  Financing costs are being 
    amortized over a twenty year period.

    Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
    generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and
    expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
    estimates.

    Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Management believes the carrying
    amount of financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of the fair value
    of these instruments.

    Translation of Foreign Currencies - Assets and liabilities of foreign
    operations are translated into United States dollars at current exchange
    rates. Income and expense accounts are translated into United States dollars
    at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Adjustments
    resulting from the translation of financial statements of the foreign
    operations are included as foreign currency translation adjustments in the
    equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

    Research and Development - Amounts expended for research and development for
    the years 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled $220,000, $205,000 and $190,000 
    respectively, and are expensed as incurred.

    The interest carrying costs of construction of a new facility were
    capitalized at the effective interest rate on the borrowing. The costs
    approximated $63,469 and $6,329 as of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

2.  CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP

    On June 21, 1996 an unaffiliated party purchased all of the issued and
    outstanding stock of the Company for an aggregate cash consideration of
    approximately $20,600,000.

3.  INVENTORIES

    The excess of replacement cost over stated LIFO amounts of inventories
    aggregated approximately $2,157,000 at January 31, 1996 and $2,121,000 at
    January 31, 1995.

4.  INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATE

    The investment in affiliate (50% owned) is accounted for by the equity
    method. The Company had sales of approximately $708,000,$674,000 and
    $585,000 to the affiliate during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
    Investment in and advances to affiliate includes $150,723 and $210,723 of
    advances at January 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

5.  INCOME TAXES

    Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences relating to
    reporting expenses in different periods for financial statement and income
    tax purposes and differences in bases of assets and liabilities. Such
    differences relate primarily to depreciation expense, inventory costs, bad
    debts, warranty, insurance and pension expense.
