Item 2.  Disposition of Assets

      Effective June 27, 1999, ThermoTrex Corporation's (the "Company")
ThermoLase subsidiary sold all of the shares of The Greenhouse Spa, Inc. to TGH,
LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company which is wholly owned by the
Stuart Michael Katzoff Trust (the "Trust"). Gerald Katzoff, the President of The
Greenhouse Spa, Inc. prior to and after the sale of the shares and the President
of ThermoLase's Spa Division until the completion of the transactions described
herein, is the sole trustee of the Trust. The Greenhouse Spa, Inc. is the owner
of a luxury destination spa in Arlington, Texas, at which spa services are
provided to women during week long stays at the Greenhouse Spa.

      The purchase price for the shares of The Greenhouse Spa, Inc. consisted of
a promissory note by TGH, LLC in the amount of $10 million, payable in full,
together with interest at the rate of 10% per year, on June 27, 2000. The $10
million promissory note may be extended for an additional six months if the
outstanding principal balance of the note is reduced to $6 million on or before
June 27, 2000, and provided that a variety of other conditions have been
satisfied. The $10 million promissory note is secured by all of the assets of
TGH, LLC and by a guaranty by The Greenhouse Spa, Inc. secured by all of the
assets of The Greenhouse Spa, Inc. including the real estate on which the
Greenhouse Spa in Arlington, Texas, is located. ThermoLase paid TGH, LLC
$300,000 to cover the cost of certain renovation work at the Greenhouse Spa in
Arlington, Texas.

      Also effective June 27, 1999, ThermoLase sold the assets of its Greenhouse
day spas to GH Day Spas, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation that is also wholly
owned by the Trust. The Greenhouse day spas provide cosmetic spa services and
laser-based hair-removal and skin-resurfacing services. GH Day Spas, Inc.
acquired the assets and will continue to operate day spas at nine facilities
previously operated by ThermoLase. GH Day Spas, Inc. also acquired certain of
ThermoLase's assets that are located at five closed day spas. The facilities
that GH Day Spas, Inc. will continue to operate are located in Beverly Hills and
Newport Beach, California; Denver, Colorado; Greenwich, Connecticut; Troy,
Michigan; Edina, Minnesota; Manhasset, New York; and Dallas and Houston, Texas.

      The purchase price for the assets of the day spas consisted of a
promissory note in the amount of $2.5 million, payable in full together with
interest at the rate of 10% per year, on June 27, 2000. The $2.5 million
promissory note may be extended for an additional six months if the outstanding
principal balance of the $10 million note by TGH, LLC is reduced to $6 million
on or before June 27, 2000, and provided that a variety of other conditions have
been satisfied. The $2.5 million promissory note is secured by all of the assets
of GH Day Spas, Inc.

      The sale prices of each of (i) the shares of The Greenhouse Spa, Inc. and
(ii) the assets of ThermoLase's day spas were determined by the parties in
arms-length negotiations based on, among other things, a third-party appraisal
of the Greenhouse Spa in Arlington, Texas.

     GH Day  Spas,  Inc.  agreed to offer  employment  to all  employees  of the
continuing day spas on substantially the same terms and conditions as their
employment with ThermoLase. GH Day Spas, Inc. also agreed to assume certain
continuing obligations of ThermoLase under contracts relating primarily to the
continuing day spas.

      In connection with the sale of the Greenhouse day spas, GH Day Spas, Inc.
agreed to assume all liability for performing services and/or providing goods in
satisfaction of all outstanding gift certificates and customer deposits, and for
customer prepayments for multiple treatment packages with respect to services
not yet performed. ThermoLase agreed to continue to pay the lease payments at
the nine day spa locations that GH Day Spas, Inc. will continue to operate until
such time as ThermoLase has paid $1.5 million of such lease payments. GH Day
Spas, Inc. will be responsible for the balance of the lease payments at these
day spas for the period through December 31, 2000, and has the right but is not
obligated to renew all of the leases for the balance of the terms thereof.
ThermoLase has also provided GH Day Spas, Inc. with working capital in the
amount of $500,000.

      ThermoLase has incurred a loss on the sale and closure of the spas of
approximately $31 million, including losses on ongoing lease obligations. This
amount will be recorded in the Company's quarter ended July 3, 1999, together
with charges for other restructuring actions.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information
         and Exhibits

(a)   Financial Statements

      Not applicable.

(b)   Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements

      The following unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations set
forth the results of operations for the fiscal year ended October 3, 1998, and
the six months ended April 3, 1999, as if the disposition by the Company's
ThermoLase Corporation subsidiary of the Greenhouse Spa in Arlington, Texas, and
all of the day spas, including those closed by ThermoLase in fiscal 1999 (the
"Spa Business"), had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1998. The unaudited pro
forma condensed balance sheet sets forth the financial position as of April 3,
1999, as if the dispositions had occurred as of that date.

      The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of
future operations or the actual results that would have occurred had the
disposition of the Spa Business been consummated at the beginning of fiscal
1998, due to other restructuring actions being undertaken unrelated to the
disposition of this business. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the accompanying notes herein and the historical consolidated financial
statements and related notes of the Company included in its Annual Report on
Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended October 3, 1998, and Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended April 3, 1999.
