ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

            On July 18, 2000, Micromuse acquired NetOps Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("NetOps"), by the statutory merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Micromuse, Salamander Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Merger Sub"), with and into NetOps. The Merger was accomplished pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of June 21, 2000, among
Micromuse, NetOps and Merger Sub (the "Merger Agreement"), and a related
Certificate of Merger. As a result of the Merger, Micromuse became the owner of
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NetOps common stock and preferred
stock and each outstanding share of NetOps common stock was converted into
 .006705 shares of Micromuse's Common Stock, each outstanding share of NetOps
Series A Preferred Stock was converted into .023016 shares of Micromuse's Common
Stock and each outstanding share of NetOps Series B Preferred Stock was
converted into .022930 shares of Micromuse's Common Stock. A total of
approximately 143,000 shares of Micromuse's Stock will be issued to former
NetOps stockholders in exchange for the acquisition by Merger Sub of all
outstanding NetOps capital stock. The terms of the Merger Agreement were the
result of arm's-length negotiations among the parties. The transaction is
intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue code
of 1986, as amended, and will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.

            The shares issued to NetOps stockholders were issued pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In
connection with the Merger, Micromuse assumed NetOps' outstanding stock options
(other than options cancelled in connection with the Merger), which remain
outstanding as options to purchase shares of Micromuse's Common Stock.

            The acquisition by Micromuse of shares of NetOps common stock
pursuant to the Merger Agreement is deemed an indirect acquisition of the assets
of NetOps represented thereby, including NetOps' plant, equipment and other
physical property. NetOps utilizes such assets as a provider of realtime,
device-centric diagnosis software that explains why a problem occurred in a
company's network infrastructure, at the device level. NetOps' software,
marketed under the "Visionary" name, allows network operations personnel to
receive realtime information on the location of critical network faults and how
they might affect the availability of network-based business services. Micromuse
intends to continue to utilize such assets in the conduct of its business as a
leading provider of fault and service level management software.

            Immediately prior to the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of NetOps were owned by the stockholders of NetOps.
Micromuse is not aware of any pre-existing material relationship between such
stockholders and Micromuse, or between such stockholders and Micromuse's
affiliates, directors or officers, or any associate of any such affiliate,
director or officer.
