ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On June 12, 2000, the Registrant acquired from David E. Hopkins and Marie
L. Hopkins ("Sellers") all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hopkins
Appraisal Services, Inc., a Missouri corporation ("Hopkins"), pursuant to that
certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 12, 2000 (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement"). The consideration for the acquisition was negotiated between the
parties at arm's length and included: (1) cash of up to $3,000,000, of which
$2,800,000 was paid at closing and up to an additional $200,000 will be paid
after possible purchase price adjustments are determined; and (2) up to 250,000
shares of the Registrant's common stock which are to be issued in installments
of up to 50,000 shares per year over the next five years based on the net income
realized by Hopkins during each of the five calendar years beginning with the
year 2000. The Registrant financed the cash portion of the purchase price
through an advance under its current credit agreement with Bank One Oklahoma,
NA. As a result of this transaction, Hopkins became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Registrant.

     As a condition to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registrant also entered
into a Real Estate Contract with Sellers to purchase the office building used by
Hopkins as its headquarters located in Independence, Missouri, which Hopkins
leased from Sellers (the "Real Estate Contract"). The office building has a
total of 11,538 square feet and is occupied by Hopkins as its company
headquarters. The purchase consideration was negotiated between the parties at
arm's length and included 100,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock which
were issued to Sellers. The purchase of the office building closed on June 15,
2000.
