ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


On  December  28,  2001 Daniel  Green  Company  (the  "Company")  completed  its
previously announced sale to Elan-Polo,  Inc.  ("Elan-Polo") of its Daniel Green
and  L.B.  Evans  slipper  brands  including  inventory,  related  tangible  and
intangible  assets  and a  certain  liability.  A  copy  of  the  press  release
announcing the transaction is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

The sale price was approximately $4,700,000,  including minimum royalty payments
of  approximately  $1,800,000 to be received  over the next three years.  Of the
balance of  approximately  $2,900,000  representing  the book value of inventory
sold,  $1,400,000 was paid in cash at closing and $1,500,000 will be paid in six
months.


The terms of the  disposition to Elan-Polo are more fully described in the Asset
Purchase Agreement filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.


Because  the sale  included  the name  "Daniel  Green",  the  Company  will seek
shareholder approval of a new corporate name which is under consideration.
