Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 5, 1998, Jason Incorporated (the "Company") completed the sale of its
Power Generation Products business segment ("Power Generation Products") to a
management led group backed by Saw Mill Capital L.L.C., a closely held merchant
banking group headquartered in Hawthorne, New York for approximately $46 million
in cash. No significant after tax gain or loss is expected on the transaction. A
new entity, Global Energy Equipment Group, L.L.C., was formed by the group to
execute the purchase. The Power Generation Products segment includes Deltak, a
Minneapolis-based manufacturer of waste heat recovery boilers; Braden
Manufacturing, a Tulsa manufacturer of exhaust systems and other ancillary items
for gas turbine power plants; Braden-Europe in Herleen, the Netherlands; a sales
and engineering office in Singapore; and Braden Shielding Systems, a
manufacturer of radio frequency and magnetic shielding systems.

No material relationship existed prior to the sale between Global Energy
Equipment Group, L.L.C. and the registrant or any of its affiliates, any
director or officer of the registrant or any associate of any such director or
officer. After the sale, Larry D. Edwards, former Senior Vice President of Jason
Incorporated will become Chief Executive Officer of Global Energy Equipment
Group, L.L.C. Gary D. Obermiller, former President of Deltak, a Unit of Jason
Incorporated, and Gene F. Schockemoehl, former President of Braden Manufacturing
will have equity interests in Global Energy Equipment Group, L.L.C.

Filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K is pro forma financial information
relative to the divestiture of Power Generation Products required pursuant to

                               Jason Incorporated
                          Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
                              Financial Statements

The following unaudited condensed financial statements present, on a pro forma
basis, the effect of the June 5, 1998 sale by Jason Incorporated (the "Company")
of its Power Generation businesses ("Power Generation Products") to a management
led group backed by Saw Mill Capital L.L.C., a closely held merchant banking
group headquartered in Hawthorne, New York. The unaudited pro forma condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical
financial statements.

The pro forma data is presented for informational purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position which
would have occurred had the divestiture of Power Generation Products been
consummated at the beginning of the periods shown, nor is such data necessarily
indicative of future operating results or financial position. There is no
assurance that similar results will be achieved in the future. Allocations and
adjustments have been based on the best information currently available. The
accompanying pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the use of certain
proceeds from the sale to pay down debt.

The historical statements of income for the fiscal years ended December 26,
1997, December 27, 1996 and December 29, 1995, and for the first fiscal quarters
ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997 have been reclassified to reflect Power
Generation Products as a discontinued operation. The results of discontinued
operations reflect interest expense allocated by the Company. The pro forma
condensed balance sheet has been prepared assuming that the divestiture of Power
Generation Products occurred as of March 27, 1998.
