ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On June 26, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), Entrust Technologies Inc. (the
"Company" or "Entrust") completed its acquisition of enCommerce, Inc., a
California corporation ("enCommerce"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated April 18, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Company,
Enable Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company ("Sub"), and enCommerce.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sub merged with and into enCommerce on
the Effective Date, whereupon enCommerce became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company (the "Merger").  In connection with the Merger, Entrust issued an
aggregate of 8,548,177 shares of its Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share
(the "Merger Shares"), in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of
enCommerce capital stock.  In addition, the outstanding options and warrants of
enCommerce as of the Effective Date were converted into options and warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 1,701,823 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  A
total of 854,823 Merger Shares (the "Escrow Shares") have been placed in escrow
in accordance with the terms of a related escrow agreement for the purpose of
satisfying any indemnification obligations of the enCommerce shareholders.  Any
Escrow Shares remaining in escrow on June 26, 2001 will be released to the
former shareholders of enCommerce in accordance with the escrow agreement.  Upon
completion of the Merger, the Company elected J. Alberto Yepez, the former
chairman of the board of directors, president and chief executive officer of
enCommerce, to its board of directors.

     In connection with the Merger, Entrust entered into employment letters with
the following former key officers of enCommerce, and the Board of Directors of
Entrust elected such individuals to the following offices:  J. Alberto Yepez
(President, Entrust Ventures Group), Hector Saldana (Senior Vice President,
Sales for Asia/Pacific), Teresa Win (Vice President, Product Development), Paul
Doscher (Executive Vice President, Marketing and Business Development) and
Thomas L. Cronan, III (Vice President, General Counsel for U.S. Operations and
Assistant Secretary).

     In connection with the Merger, the Company applied for and obtained from
the California Department of Corporations a Permit dated June 14, 2000 to issue
the Merger Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section
3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The
Company used authorized but previously unissued shares of its Common Stock as
consideration in the Merger, which the Company expects to treat as a purchase
for accounting purposes.  The terms of the Merger Agreement and the Merger were
determined on the basis of "arm's-length" negotiations.  The board of directors
of the Company and the board of directors and the shareholders of enCommerce
approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger.  Prior to the execution of the
Merger Agreement, none of the Company, its affiliates, officers or directors or
any associate of any such officer or director, had any material relationship
with enCommerce or any of the shareholders of enCommerce.
<PAGE>

     Prior to the Merger, enCommerce was a global portal infrastructure company
and a provider of software and services designed to manage electronic business
relationships.  The Company currently intends to continue enCommerce's business
substantially in the manner conducted by enCommerce immediately prior to the
Merger.

     The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement,
which was filed as Exhibit 2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 1,
2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A filed May 9, 2000, and is
incorporated herein by reference.  The Company's press release dated June 27,
2000 which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, is also
incorporated herein by reference.
