Item 2.    Acquisition and Disposition of Assets.
           -------------------------------------

           (a) On May 23, 2000, Dynatech Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Dynatech"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary DWW Acquisition Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("MergerCo"), completed their merger (the "Merger") with
Wavetek Wandel Goltermann, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("WWG"), pursuant to
which WWG became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynatech.

     The Merger was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of February 14, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Dynatech, MergerCo
and WWG, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Report and is
incorporated by reference herein. In the Merger, Dynatech paid to the former WWG
stockholders approximately $250 million in cash and issued approximately 15
million newly-issued shares of Dynatech common stock. In addition, Dynatech paid
approximately $8 million to cash out existing WWG options.

     Dynatech financed the Merger with new equity and debt. Dynatech sold
43.125 million newly-issued shares of common stock to investment funds managed
by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. for $4.00 per share and an aggregate purchase
price of $172.5 million. Dynatech also entered a new credit facility with a
syndicate of lenders that provides for borrowings of up to $860 million. In
addition, Dynatech intends to sell 4.983 million newly-issued shares of common
stock at the same price per share that was paid by the Clayton, Dubilier & Rice
funds in a rights offering to its stockholders of record on April 20, 2000. The
rights offering will provide such stockholders the opportunity to reverse the
diminution of their percentage equity ownership interest in Dynatech that
resulted from our sale of common stock to the Clayton, Dubilier & Rice funds.

     A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Merger is
included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

     As a result of the Merger, Dynatech will focus on its Communications Test
Solutions and Visual Communications businesses. As such, Dynatech has decided to
divest the Industrial Computing and Communication business conducted by its
ICS-Advent and Itronix Corporation subsidiaries. For the nine months ended
December 31, 1999, the Industrial Computing and Communication business accounted
for approximately 34% of Dynatech's sales. Dynatech remains committed to
maximizing its investment in ICS-Advent and Itronix. The planned divestiture is
expected to occur no later than the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The
planned disposition of the Industrial Computing and Communications business will
be treated as discontinued operations for accounting purposes.

Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits.
          ---------------------------------

          (a)    Financial statements of business acquired are included in this
Report as the following exhibits and are incorporated herein by reference.

          99.2   Audited financial statements of WWG as of September 30, 1999
     and September 30, 1998 and for the three years ended September 30, 1999.

          99.3   Unaudited financial statements of WWG as of March 31, 2000 and
     for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999.

          (b)    Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.

        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements give
effect to the following:

  .  The merger with WWG (after giving effect to the divestitures of the
     Precision Measurement and Test Tools divisions, which occurred in
     January 2000);

  .  The sale, in connection with the WWG merger, of 43,125,000 newly-issued
     but unregistered shares of our common stock to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice
     Fund V Limited Partnership and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VI Limited
     Partnership, and the concurrent establishment of our new credit
     facility;

  .  Dynatech's rights offering to holders of its common stock on the close of
     business on April 20, 2000, which is expected to be completed on or about
     June 21, 2000;

  .  The inclusion of the results of operations for the full periods presented
     relating to our acquisitions of Pacific Systems Corporation, Sierra Design
     Labs, Applied Digital Access, Inc. and to reflect within the balance sheet
     our acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of WPI, Inc. (WPI's
     results of operations have been excluded from the pro forma statements
     because this business is reported within discontinued operations);

  .  The exclusion of the results of operations for the full periods presented
     relating to our divestitures of ComCoTec, Inc. and Parallax, Inc., and our
     probable divestiture of DataViews Corporation, and the exclusion from the
     balance sheet of certain assets and liabilities of DataViews Corporation;
     and

  .  The plan to discontinue Dynatech's Industrial Computing and Communications
     business segment.

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December
31, 1999 set forth herein was prepared assuming that the above-listed
transactions took place on that date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended December 31,
1999 and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 set forth herein were prepared assuming
that the above-listed transactions occurred as of the first day of each of the
periods presented.

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should
be read in conjunction with the Dynatech and WWG historical Consolidated
Financial Statements, which are incorporated by reference in this Report,
as well as Dynatech's "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations", included in Dynatech's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, filed with SEC on June 14,
1999.

   The pro forma adjustments, as described in the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Statements herein, are based on currently available information and certain
adjustments that management believes are reasonable. This pro forma financial
information is presented for informational purposes only and does not
necessarily represent what Dynatech's financial position or results of
operations would have been if these transactions had in fact occurred on the
dates indicated and is not necessarily indicative of Dynatech's financial
position or results of operations for any future period.

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS--CONTINUED

   The final allocation of the purchase price is dependent upon certain
valuations and other studies that are still in progress. The estimated purchase
price allocations are therefore preliminary, and have been presented solely for
the purpose of developing these pro forma statements. The final allocation of
the purchase price to be ultimately recorded in Dynatech's historical
financial statements may or may not be materially different than what has been
presented in these pro forma statements.

   The estimated in-process research and development charge of $100,000 has
been included as an adjustment within the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet, but has not been included as an adjustment within
the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations, as this charge
is non-recurring in nature.

   For purposes of these pro forma statements, the estimated life of the WWG
related pro forma intangible assets is a blended life of six years. WWG
historical and pro forma intangible assets (adjusted as a result of the
acquisition) at December 31, 1999 are as follows:

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS--CONTINUED

   Upon the consummation of the merger, Dynatech borrowed approximately
$685,000 of the facility, leaving $175,000 available to be drawn under a 6 year
revolving credit facility, with an assumed interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%
(8.7%).

   In accordance with the terms of the WWG subordinated debt agreement, Dynatech
will be obligated to pay a penalty of approximately $9,000 due to the early
termination of the WWG debt. Such amount has been excluded from the pro forma
statements of operations as it is non-recurring in nature. For historical
financial statement purposes, this $9,000 ($5,400 on an after tax basis) penalty
will be presented as an extraordinary item on Dynatech's statement of operations
(see Note (h) for impact to cash).

   For historical financial statement purposes, the $10,800 ($6,480 on an after
tax basis) of debt issuance costs of Dynatech at December 31, 1999 will be
written off and presented as extraordinary item on Dynatech's statement of
operations. For pro forma purposes, this charge has been excluded from the pro
forma statement of operations, as it is non-recurring in nature.
