Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On February 5, 1996 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated August 3, 1994 (the "Agreement") and that certain Order
Confirming Sale of Personal Property entered on December 21, 1994 by The
District Court in and for Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, Kinark Corporation
("Kinark") acquired 600 shares (the "Shares") of the common stock of Rogers
Galvanizing Company, a Delaware corporation ("Rogers") representing
approximately 51.2% of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Rogers.  The Shares were acquired from The C.L. Simpson Inter Vivos Revocable
Trust and The Alta Rogers Simpson Inter Vivos Revocable Trust (the "Trusts"),
acting through their Interim Trustee, The Trust Company of Oklahoma (the
"Trustee").  The purchase price of the Shares was $7,100.00 per share for a
total price of $4,260,000, which was paid $50,000 in cash on August 3, 1994 and
$4,210,000 (the "Closing Date Payment") in cash on the Closing Date.

     On February 16, 1996 (the "Option Date"), pursuant to five separate Option
Agreements each dated October 10, 1995 (each, an "Option Agreement" and
collectively, the "Option Agreements"), Kinark acquired an additional 188
shares of Rogers common stock (the "Option Shares"), representing approximately
16% of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Rogers.  After
acquisition of the Option Shares, Kinark became the record owner of
approximately 67.2% of all the issued and outstanding Rogers stock.  Kinark
acquired the Option Shares from Ben C. and Javade L. Bishop, Charles E. Story,
John W. Carpenter, Thelma Lee Morris (as administratrix of the estate of H.R.
Morris), and Deania L. Rodgers and Paula Patterson, as trustee for the Deania L
Rodgers Marital Trust (collectively, the "Optionees").  The purchase price of
the Option Shares was also $7,100.00 per share and the total consideration for
all the Option Shares was $1,334,800 (the "Option Share Payments") paid in cash
on February 16, 1996.

     Kinark funded the Closing Date Payment and the Option Share Payments from
the proceeds of a private placement in which it raised approximately $5,700,000
by selling approximately 2.28 million shares of its common stock at a price of
$2.50 per share.  

     As of the Closing Date and as of the Option Date, there was no material
relationship between either the Trusts or the Optionees, and Kinark or any of
its affiliates, any director or officer of Kinark, or any associate of any such
director or officer.

     Rogers, with corporate headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the fourth
largest hot dip galvanizer in the country with four (4) galvanizing locations
in Tulsa and one (1) in Kansas City, Missouri.  Rogers will continue to operate
as a non-wholly owned subsidiary of Kinark and will continue operating its
galvanizing plants in five (5) locations.  Kinark intends to file an amendment
to this Form 8-K supplementing the financial information about Rogers when it
is available, but not later than sixty days after the date on which this Form
8-K must be filed.  

ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     On February 6, 1996, the Board of Directors of Kinark met and approved
changes in Kinark's executive officers.  Michael T. Crimmins, currently
Chairman of the Board, was appointed Chief Executive Officer.  Ronald J. Evans,
currently a director, was appointed President.  Paul R. Chastain, currently an
officer and a director, was appointed Vice-President and Chief Financial
Officer.

     At the end of January, Kinark raised approximately $5,700,000.00 in new
capital by selling approximately 2.28 million shares of its common stock in a
private placement at a price of $2.50 per share.

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.

     (A)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED.

Hundred Seventy-two (572) outstanding shares of the Rogers Common Stock owned
by the minority stockholders of Rogers (the "Offer").

shall be exercisable by the minority stockholders beginning on the date of any
expiration of the appeal period to the Court's Approval and continuing for
thirty (30) days thereafter (the "Offer Period").  The Offer shall be closed
ninety (90) days from the date that the Court has entered an order approving
the purchase and sale of the Stock as contemplated herein and such order is no
longer subject to appeal (the "Offer Closing").

10.3 Purchase the Minority Stock.  Upon the subscription election of each
minority stockholder of Rogers, Kinark shall pay to the minority stockholders
of Rogers who exercise the offer during the Offer Period either: 

     (i)  Cash to be paid at the Offer Closing of Seven Thousand One Hundred
          and No/100 Dollars ($7,100.00) per share of Rogers Common Stock
          (subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 10.5 below); or

     (ii) One share of Kinark convertible cumulative preferred stock (the
          "Preferred Stock") for each share of Rogers common Stock tendered to
          Kinark during the Offer Period.  The Preferred Stock may be a tax-
          free exchange (see below) for Rogers Common Stock and will pay annual
          dividends that will be 150% of the average annual per share dividend
          paid by Rogers on its Common Stock for each of the past two (2)
          years, The Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Kinark Common
          Stock at specified prices, will be callable at specified times for
          specified prices and will be subject to other terms and conditions as
          set forth in a subsequent offer that will be made to the Rogers
          stockholders (the "Preferred Stock Offering").

to the terms of the Preferred Stock Offering and should be delivered upon the

Kinark stockholder and governmental (including Securities and Exchange
Commission and State Blue Sky) approvals.  All the terms of the Offer discussed
in this Section 10 are subject to change and the exact terms of the offer shall
be set forth in the Preferred Stock Offering documents to be delivered to the
Rogers minority stockholders at a later date.  Nothing herein should be
construed as an offer to purchase the Rogers Common Stock from the Rogers
minority stockholders; an offer to purchase said Common Stock may only be made
by and pursuant to the Preferred Stock Offering documents.

10.5 Adjustment to the Offer Price.  If an auction is conducted pursuant to
Section 4.4(f) and the consideration paid for the Stock is increased, then the
per share cash price of the offer shall be increased to the Rogers minority
stockholders to an amount equal to the per share price paid for the Stock.  A
negative adjustment will be made to the per share cash price paid to the
minority stockholders in the Offer equal to 48.81% of all payments made by
Trustee to Kinark pursuant to Section 8.2 (ii) and (iii) hereof.  Such negative
adjustment shall be withheld from the amounts paid to the Rogers minority
stockholders and thereafter paid to Trustee by the highest Competing Bidder.

10.6 Fairness and Support of the Rogers Minority Stockholders. The Trusts and
the Trustee agree that the Offer is a fair offer to the Rogers minority
stockholders and the Offer is equal to or the equivalent of Kinark's Purchase
Price for the Stock on a per share basis.  If the Rogers minority stockholders
subscribe in the offer for forty (40%) percent or more of the outstanding
Rogers Common Stock to be purchased in exchange for the Preferred Stock, then
the Trustee, on behalf of the Trusts, agrees to take all reasonable steps
necessary to cause the Rogers minority stockholders to be able to exchange
their Rogers Common Stock for the Preferred Stock on a tax-free basis,
including but not limited to agreeing to vote the Stock for a merger between
Rogers and Kinark.

     You may exercise the Option by giving written notice to me.  Upon exercise
of the Option, (i) I agree to transfer to you good and marketable title to the
Shares, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, claims, charges,
assessments, and restrictions and to deliver to you the certificates
representing the Shares properly endorsed for transfer to you, and (ii) you
agree to deliver to me by cashier's or certified check, wire transfer or other
immediately available funds the aggregate purchase price payable by you to me
for the Shares.

     You and I hereby agree to execute such further documents and take such
further actions as may be necessary to legally consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.  This option agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of each of us and our respective successors,
representatives, administrators or heirs, and any subsequent transferee of the
Shares.  The validity and effectiveness of this option agreement shall be
