Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On July 14, 1998, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with
Sweden-based  Kimon  Mediarright  KB  ("Kimon"),  pursuant  to which the Company
acquired certain intangible assets from Kimon valued at $4,500,000. In exchange,
the  Company  agreed  to  issue  to  Kimon  4,500,000  shares  of the  Company's
subordinated   convertible  Preferred  Stock,  Series  B,  having  a  value  for
conversion  purposes  of  $1.00  per  share.  The  Series B  Preferred  Stock is
subordinate  to the Company's  Series A Preferred  Stock,  consisting of 500,000
shares (plus accruals  thereunder) having a liquidation  preference of $1.00 per
share. Kimon will have the right to convert to Odyssey common stock between June
30, 2000 and December 31, 2000 on a  dollar-for-dollar  basis based on the price
of the Company's common stock at the time of conversion.  Kimon assets purchased
consist of a film library with worldwide and/or Scandinavian distribution rights
and Scandinavian  video  distribution  rights to certain Hallmark  Entertainment
products.  The contract was conditioned on the consent of Hallmark Entertainment
to the assignment of its distribution  agreement with Kimon to the Company. Such
consent was obtained in August,  1998. In connection  with the  acquisition,  an
affiliate  of Kimon  agreed to render  management  services  to the  Company  in
connection  with  the  marketing  of the  distribution  rights  acquired  by the
Company.  In  consideration  of such  management  services,  the affiliate  will
receive   certain   royalties   based  on  sales  of  the  Hallmark  films  plus
reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with such management services.
