ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

       On June 30, 2000, 8x8, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as
Netergy Networks, Inc. ("Netergy") completed its acquisition of UForce Inc., a
Canadian corporation ("U|Force") pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange
Agreement ("Exchange Agreement") by and among Netergy, U|Force, all of the
shareholders of U|Force and all indirect owners of shares of U|Force. In
connection with the acquisition Netergy issued or will issue up to a total of
4,579,201 shares of common stock as follows: (1) 1,447,523 shares were issued at
closing of the acquisition to U|Force shareholders that elected to receive
Netergy common stock at closing in exchange for their U|Force shares or rights
to acquire U|Force shares; (2) 2,107,780 shares will be issued upon the exchange
or redemption of the exchangeable shares (the "Exchangeable Shares") of Canadian
entities held by former shareholders or indirect owners of U|Force stock; and
(3) 1,023,898 shares will be issued upon exercise of options formerly for the
purchase of U|Force stock that Netergy assumed. In addition, Netergy created a
Special Voting Share that provides holders of Exchangeable Shares with voting
rights that are equivalent to the shares of common stock into which their shares
convert.

       Based on the closing price of Netergy common stock for a period
surrounding the date of the Exchange Agreement and the value of U|Force employee
stock options assumed, the transaction is valued at approximately $44.6 million.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase transaction and will result
in a charge for purchased in-process R&D expense in the second quarter of fiscal
2001.

       All shares issued or to be issued pursuant to the acquisition, other than
the shares to be issued upon exercise of the assumed options, were or will
be issued in reliance on exemptions from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and as such will be subject to restrictions on transfer. In addition, the
acquisition documents provide additional contractual restrictions on resales on
a portion of the Netergy shares issued or to be issued. Netergy is obligated to
file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the shares issuable upon
exercise of assumed options and is obligated to issue a Registration Statement
on Form S-3 to register the other shares issued or issuable in the transaction.

       Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, a total of 209,078
Exchangeable Shares will be held in escrow for a period of one year and during
that time may be used to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the
former U|Force shareholders.

       The terms of the Exchange Agreement and the other agreements, instruments
and documents contemplated by the Exchange Agreement were the result of
arm's-length negotiations among the parties.

       The summary of the provisions of the Exchange Agreement and the
acquisition set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Exchange Agreement which is incorporated herein by reference to the Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Netergy
on May 23, 2000 and the other transaction documents filed as exhibits to this
report.
