ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

     On June 15, 1999, Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware
Corporation ("Lattice") and the registrant herein, purchased all of the
outstanding capital stock, of Vantis Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
("Vantis") from Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AMD"),
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $583.1 million.

     The acquisition was made pursuant a Stock Purchase Agreement entered
into between Lattice and AMD on April 21, 1999. Following the acquisition,
Vantis is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lattice.

     The purchase price for the capital stock of Vantis was determined by
arms'-length negotiation between Lattice and AMD, and was funded in part with
cash reserves held by Lattice, and in part with the proceeds of borrowings
from ABN AMRO Bank, N.V., as administrative agent for a syndicate of banks.
The ABN AMRO credit facilities consisted of a $60 million three-year
revolving credit facility, and a $220 million three-year term loan. Aggregate
borrowings from the credit facilities for the acquisition were approximately
$253,000,000 as of June 15, 1999. On November 12, 1999, Lattice repaid the
amounts borrowed under the credit facilities and terminated these financing
arrangements.

     For a more complete description of the terms of the acquisition of
Vantis please refer to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated by
reference as Exhibit 2.1, to our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K, dated
April 21, 1999.  Please refer to our Form 8K/A filed on August 20, 1999, for
additional financial information about Vantis and for an unaudited pro-forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 3, 1999 and an unaudited
pro-forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
April 3, 1999.

(a) Pro-Forma Financial Information

    The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport
to be indicative of the results of operations for future periods or the
results that actually would have been realized had Lattice and Vantis been a
consolidated company during the specified period. The statement is based on
the respective historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto of Lattice and Vantis after giving effect to
the acquisition of Vantis using the purchase method of accounting and the
assumptions and adjustments described below. Non-recurring purchase
accounting adjustments are excluded from the pro forma adjustments in the
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.

    The pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the six months ended October 2, 1999 is presented using Lattice's
unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months
ended October 2, 1999 combined with Vantis' unaudited condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the period from March 29, 1999 through June 15,
1999 assuming the acquisition occurred on the first day of this period.

    The purchase price paid for Vantis was allocated to the estimated fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase
price allocation is based on an independent appraisal of certain assets and
management estimates of fair value and is subject to further refinement and
change. The amounts recorded are based on management's current estimate of
the costs of integrating Vantis, including elimination of duplicative
facilities and duplicative sales representatives and distributors, employee
separations resulting from changes in responsibilities, employee relocation
and other integration actions. The accruals recorded related to the
integration of Vantis operations are in accordance with Emerging Issue Task
Force No. 95-3 "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase
Business Combination."

<PAGE>

    For financial reporting purposes, Lattice and Vantis have reported on 13
or 14 week quarters with their years ending April 3, 1999 and December 27,
1998, respectively. There were no transactions between Lattice and Vantis
during these periods. There are no significant differences between
the accounting policies of Lattice and Vantis.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
including the notes thereto, is qualified in its entirety by reference to,
and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto of Lattice and Vantis that were previously
reported in Lattice's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended April
3, 1999, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended October
2, 1999 and the current report on Form 8-K/A as of June 15, 1999, which are
incorporated by reference in this current report on Form 8-K.

THIS CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN
THE MEANING OF SECTION 17A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND SECTION 21B OF
THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND OTHER RISKS DETAILED IN OUR ANNUAL

 UNAUDITED NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    On June 15, 1999, Lattice completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding capital stock of Vantis from AMD for a total purchase price of
approximately $583.1 million. The purchase was financed using a combination
of cash reserves and a new credit facility bearing interest at adjustable
rates (Note 2(B)). In addition, Lattice exchanged stock options for all of
the options outstanding under Vantis employee stock option plans with a
calculated Black-Scholes value of approximately $24.0 million.



     The components of purchase price are as follows (in millions):

Preacquisition contingencies........................................         5.4
                                                                      -----------
Total...............................................................   $   583.1

                                                                      -----------
</TABLE>

The total purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed.  The estimates of fair value of the assets
acquired is based on an independent appraisal and management estimates.  The
purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and change over
the next year.  Management is in the process of completing its integration
plans related to Vantis, and accordingly, the amounts recorded are based on
management's current estimate of those costs.  The allocation of purchase
price is discussed further in Note 2.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations is
presented using Lattice's audited condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the six months ended October 2, 1999 combined with Vantis
unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period from
March 29, 1999 through June 15, 1999, assuming the acquisition occurred on
the first day of this period.

For financial reporting purposes, Lattice and Vantis have reported on 13 or
14 week quarters with their years ending April 3, 1999 and December 27, 1998,
respectively.  There were no transactions between Lattice and Vantis during
the period presented and there are no significant differences between the
accounting policies of Lattice and Vantis.

This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Lattice,
which were previously reported in Lattice's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the year ended April 3, 1999, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three
months and six months ended October 2, 1999, and the current report on Form
8-K/A as of June 15, 1999, which are incorporated by reference in this
current report Form 8-K.

<PAGE>

NOTE 2.  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The pro forma adjustments are based on a preliminary allocation of the
purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  This
allocation is subject to refinement and change over the next year.  The
allocation of the purchase price is based on an independent appraisal of
certain assets as well as management estimates of fair value.  It also
reflects the results of an integration plan, which includes elimination of
duplicative facilities, elimination of duplicative sales representatives and
distributors, employee separations resulting from changes in responsibilities,
employee relocation and other integration actions.  The accruals recorded
related to the integration of Vantis operations are in accordance with Emerging
Issue Task Force No. 95-3 "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a
Purchase Business Combination."

(A)  To reflect the allocation of purchase price to net assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.

The purchase price and the related allocation are subject to further refinement
and change.  The total purchase price was allocated as follows (in millions):

                                                                      ---------
</TABLE>

    We have taken certain actions to integrate the Vantis operations and, in
certain instances, to consolidate duplicative operations. Accrued exit costs
related to Vantis were recorded as an adjustment to the fair value of net
assets in the purchase price allocation. Accrued exit costs include $4.2
million related to Vantis office closures, $2.5 million related to
integration costs for Vantis employees and $1.6 million in other exit costs
primarily relating to the termination of Vantis foreign distributors. These
accruals are based upon our current estimates and are in accordance with
Emerging Issue Task Force No. 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in
Connection with a Purchase Business Combination." There was no significant
activity against these exit costs for the period June 16, 1999 to October 2,
1999.

IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    The value assigned to IPR&D was determined by identifying individual
research projects for which technological feasibility had not been
established. These include semiconductor projects with a value after
application of the SEC's IPR&D valuation methodology of $77.2
million and a process technology project with a value of $11.8 million.



<PAGE>


USEFUL LIVES OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    The estimated weighted average useful life of the intangible assets for
current technology, assembled workforce, customer lists, trademarks, patents
and residual goodwill, created as a result of the acquisition, is
approximately five years.

(B) Adjustment to record the interest related to the $220 million term loan and
    the $33 million revolving line of credit entered into on June 15, 1999 by
    Lattice to partially finance the Vantis acquisition on the unaudited pro
    forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months
    ended October 2, 1999. The loans bore interest at adjustable rates and an
    increase or decrease in the interest rate by 1/4% would have an
    insignificant effect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
    statements of operations presented. Interest expense for the period
    presented is calculated using an assumed rate of 7.2%. Amortization of
    capitalized debt issuance costs are $870,000, for the period presented.
    Costs and expenses related to the issuance of this debt totalled
    approximately $3 million and are capitalized and amortized over the life of
    the loan using the interest method.

(C) Adjustment to reflect the reversal of interest income on the cash used for
    the acquisition. The assumed rate of return on this cash balance was
    approximately 3.5% which is based upon the estimated rate of return on
    short-term investments for Lattice.

(D) Adjustment to reflect the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at the
    combined rate of Lattice and Vantis during the period presented.


NOTE 3.  PRO FORMA EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income and pro forma basic loss per share were calculated based on
the weighted average number of Lattice shares of common stock outstanding for
the period ended October 2, 1999. Diluted net income per share was calculated
based on Lattice's weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and potentially diluted common shares assumed to be outstanding
during the period using the treasury stock method. Pro forma diluted loss per
share is the same as pro forma basic loss per share because including common
stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Shares outstanding reflect the two-for-one stock split effected in the form
of a stock dividend that was paid on September 16, 1999.
