Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                  On November 23, 1998, Menley & James, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Company"), and Menley & James Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Subsidiary"),
consummated the sale of substantially all of the Subsidiary's assets and certain
assets of the Company (collectively referred to as "Assets") to Numark
Laboratories, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Numark"). The sale was effected
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 21, 1998, as amended
by Amendment No. 1 dated October 13, 1998, and Amendment No. 2 dated November
11, 1998 (as amended, the "Agreement"), between the parties. The Agreement was
approved by the Company's stockholders at a special meeting held on November 23,
1998.

         The only assets which the Company and the Subsidiary retained were its
office lease for the property known as Commonwealth Corporate Center, 100
Tournament Drive, Horsham, Pennsylvania (the "Office Lease"), its officers and
directors liability insurance policies, its product liability insurance
policies, certain automobile leases and an office equipment lease, the corporate
names "Menley & James, Inc." and "Menley & James Laboratories, Inc." and
approximately $2.0 million in cash which the Company will use to pay its costs 
and expenses associated with the sale, including employee severance obligations.

         As consideration for the Assets, Numark paid $13.43 million in cash and
assumed substantially all of the Subsidiary's and the Company's liabilities.

         As a result of this transaction, after the transaction costs are paid,
Menley & James will have the following: approximately $13.4 million in cash; no
debt; an estimated $6 million net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax
purposes; $24.5 million of capital loss carry-forwards; and 6,163,520 
outstanding shares of common stock. Menley & James remains a public company and
does not expect to liquidate or make a distribution to stockholders as a result
of this transaction.

         The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety
by the full text of the Agreement which is incorporated by reference into this
Form 8-K as set forth under it in Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.


Item 5. Other Events.

         On November 24, 1998, the Company moved its executive offices to 125
Strafford Avenue, Suite 300, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087.

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

(b)      Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
reflects the sale of substantially all of the assets and the assignment of
substantially all of the liabilities of the Company in exchange for $13,430,000
of cash as if the transaction had been consummated on September 30, 1998. This
pro forma balance sheet does not purport to be indicative of the Company's
financial position in future periods. A pro forma income statement for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1998 or year ended December 31, 1997 would
reflect no income from operations as all of the Company's operations were sold
in the transaction.
