ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         As previously reported, on July 18, 1996, Roadmaster Industries, Inc.
(doing business under the name RDM Sports Group, Inc. since September 6, 1996
and hereinafter the "Company") and its then Roadmaster Corporation subsidiary
entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with Brunswick Corporation
("Brunswick"), pursuant to which Brunswick was to acquire all of the assets of
the Company's bicycle and snow products business (such business, which also
includes tricycles, wagons and junior ride-ons, is hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the "Bike division") for approximately $212,000,000 in cash (the
"Brunswick Transaction"). The Agreement also provides for: the assumption by
Brunswick of trade payables affiliated with the bicycle and snow products being
conveyed at the time of the closing, the grant to Brunswick of a long-term lease
of the Olney, Illinois facility (such lease being estimated to have a present
value of approximately $2.6 million), the assumption by Brunswick of certain
long-term indebtedness consisting of Industrial Revenue Bonds and UDAG loans
(the assumption of which Industrial Revenue Bonds and UDAG loans will result in
a reduction to the purchase price), and the establishment by the Company of an
escrow account in the amount of $10,000,000 to secure the costs of the
environmental remediation of the property at the Olney, Illinois facility, for
which the Corporation has indemnified Brunswick. At closing, the Company repaid
the UDAG loans; accordingly, the purchase price was not adjusted for the
assumption of such loans. The purchase price also is subject to adjustment for
changes in working capital between December 31, 1995 and the Closing Date. The
Agreement was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on July 18, 1996. The
transaction was subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the
Agreement, including, without limitation, the consent of the Company's lenders
under its Bank Credit Agreement and waivers (the "Waivers") of certain
provisions of the Indenture governing the Company's 11 3/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2002 (the "Notes") by the holders of the required majority of such
Notes.

         On August 2, 1996, the Company commenced an Offer to Purchase and
Consent Solicitation to the holders of its Notes, whereby the Company offered to
purchase all of its outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of such Notes' principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid
interest. Such Offer terminated on August 29, 1996. Consents to the required
Waivers under the Indenture were obtained from the holders of $88,433,000
principal amount of the Notes. Of such amount, $88,227,000 also were tendered
for purchase. The Waivers to the relevant Indenture provisions were effected
thereafter.

         On September 6, 1996, the Company terminated its then existing bank
credit agreement and entered into a new bank credit agreement (the "Bank Credit
Agreement"). The Bank Credit Agreement has a three year term and provides for
borrowings of up to $130,000,000, based on eligible trade receivables and
inventory. Interest under the new Bank Credit Agreement is calculated at the
Agent's Reference Rate (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) plus 1.25% and
includes a LIBOR Rate option which equals LIBOR plus 1.25%. The monthly unused
facility fee is .25% on the available unused portion of the facility provided by
the Bank Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement are
secured by security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The Bank Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of various financial and
other covenants, including minimum net worth, earnings to interest expense
coverage and prohibitions on various transactions without the consent of the
Lender.

         Following implementation of the Waivers and concurrent with the
execution of the new Bank Credit Agreement, the Brunswick Transaction was
consummated on September 6, 1996. The Company used the net proceeds to reduce
its outstanding indebtedness under its old bank credit agreement by
approximately $75,000,000 and to purchase $88,227,000 principal amounts of its
Notes for one hundred percent of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid
interest to the date of repurchase.
