Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On July 24, 2002, FTI Consulting, Inc. ("FTI") entered into an Agreement
for the Purchase and Sale of Assets (the "Purchase Agreement") by and between
FTI and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), pursuant to which FTI agreed to
acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of PwC's U.S. Business
Recovery Services Division (BRS). BRS is one of the leading providers of
bankruptcy, turnaround and financial restructuring services to businesses in the
United States. On August 30, 2002, FTI completed the acquisition of BRS. The
purchase price plus other acquisition costs included approximately $143.0
million of cash and 3.0 million shares of FTI common stock valued at $101.9
million. The 3.0 million shares of common stock issued for BRS were valued using
the average stock price of FTI for the five day period beginning two days before
and ending two days after July 24, 2002. FTI financed the cash portion of the
purchase price from its existing cash and a new credit facility that it entered
into with Bank of America, N.A. on August 30, 2002.

        On September 13, 2002, FTI filed a report on Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating that FTI had completed the
acquisition and that the required financial statements and pro forma financial
information would be filed within 60 days after the initial filing. This Form
