Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On December 29, 2000,  Spectrian  Corporation (the "Company") completed
the sale of  substantially  all of the assets  and  liabilities  comprising  the
Company's  UltraRF  division  (the  "Business")  pursuant to the Asset  Purchase
Agreement  dated as of  November  20,  2000 among Cree,  Inc.  ("Cree"),  Zoltar
Acquisition,  Inc.  ("Zoltar") and the Company,  attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

         The Asset  Purchase  Agreement  provides for the sale by the Company of
certain assets and liabilities of the Business.  The assets sold and liabilities
assumed  include  business   inventories,   equipment  and  tangible   property,
intangible assets,  contract rights, records,  supplies,  rights associated with
prepaid  expenses,  certain rights against third parties,  certain  software and
certain trade accounts  receivable,  obligations and  liabilities  under certain
contracts,  warranty obligations and tax obligations and liabilities relating to
the Business.

         The  aggregate  purchase  price paid by Cree  under the Asset  Purchase
Agreement  consists of stock  consideration  of 2,656,917  shares of Cree common
stock.

         Cree  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,   Zoltar,  have  no  material
relationship  with the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company,  with any of
its affiliates, directors, officers or their associates.

         Attached  as an  Exhibit  is a copy of the press  release of January 2,
2001, announcing the close of the transaction.

         (a) Financial Statements of business acquired.

             Not applicable.

         (b) Pro Forma Financial information.


The following unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  balance sheet assumes
that the sale of the UltraRF division occurred on October 1, 2000. The following
unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated  statement of  operations  for the
period ended  October 1, 2000 and the following  unaudited  pro forma  condensed
consolidated  statement  of  operations  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2000
respectively, assumes that the sale occurred on April 1, 1999.

The pro forma financial  information is presented for illustrative purposes only
and does not purport to be  indicative  of the  operating  results or  financial
position  that would have  occurred  had the sale been  effected for the periods

Spectrian  Corporation
Notes to Pro Forma  Condensed  Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     On December 29, 2000, the Company completed the sale of its semiconductor
       division,  UltraRF, to Cree, Inc. ("Cree") for 1,815,000 shares of common
       stock of Cree plus common stock with a guaranteed realizable value of $30
       million. Cree common stock was valued at $35.53 at the date of sale. Cree
       purchased  the  assets of UltraRF  and  assumed  certain of its  external
       liabilities  as a result of the  disposition.  As part of the  definitive
       agreement,  the Company and Cree entered into a two-year supply agreement
       under which  Spectrian is obligated to purchase from Cree an aggregate of
       $58 million of semiconductors. In the event Spectrian fails to make these
       purchases  it is  obligated  to pay Cree  the  amount  of the  shortfall.
       Accordingly,  Spectrian  will  defer $58  million  of the gain on sale of
       UltraRF  and  recognize  it in future  periods  as the  related  purchase
       commitments to Cree are fulfilled.

2.     The pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the effects of the sale of
       UltraRF as if it had been consummated on October 1, 2000 (in thousands):

       a.     Increase in short-term investments

              Increase in short-term investments                   $  87,713
              Increase in restricted short-term investments            6,790
                                                                   ---------

                                                                   $  94,503
                                                                   ---------


       b.     Net gain on sale of UltraRF
              Total amount due from Cree                          $  94,503
              Net book value of inventory                            (6,363)
              Net book value of property and equipment               (7,302)
              Net book value of third party accounts receivables       (277)
              Net book value of other assets                           (233)
              Net book value of liabilities assumed by Cree           1,490
              Transaction expenses*                                 (12,117)
                                                                  ----------
              Gross gain on sale of UltraRF                          69,701
              Less: Amount deferred due to supply
                agreement                                           (58,000)
                                                                  ----------
                     Net gain on sale of UltraRF                  $  11,701
                                                                  ----------


              *   Transaction  expenses  consist  principally  of  fees  to  the
                  Company's  financial advisors and certain legal and accounting
                  fees.

3.     The pro forma condensed  statement of operations assumed that the sale of
       UltraRF had been consummated on April 1, 1999.

       a.     The increase in cost of revenues of $4,268,000  for the six months
              ended October 1, 2000 and $13,419,000 for the year ended March 31,
              2000, respectively, reflects the profit on intercompany sales from
              UltraRF  to  Spectrian,  which was  previously  eliminated  in the
              consolidated financial statements of the Company.

       b.     Following  the close of the sale of UltraRF,  the Company  will no
              longer have revenues  related to sales of the UltraRF  products to
              third  party  customers.  The pro  forma  condensed  statement  of
              operations  has been  adjusted to  eliminate  the net revenues and
              operating  expenses  which the Company  believes  (i) are directly
              attributable  to the UltraRF  business  and (ii) will not continue
              after the completion of the sale of UltraRF. These amounts include
              the costs  directly  incurred by UltraRF and rents for  facilities
              occupied  by  UltraRF  which are being  subleased  to  UltraRF  by
              Spectrian.

              Under agreement between Spectrian and Cree, Spectrian is obligated
              to buy certain minimum quantities of semiconductors  from Cree for
              a period  of 24  months.  Additionally,  as a result  of the sale,
              Spectrian's cost of  semiconductors  will increase by profits made
              by UltraRF on its sales to  Spectrian  as such  profits  would now
              belong to Cree.  The effect of this change has been  reflected  in
              the pro forma statements of operations.

4.     Spectrian   currently   estimates   that  it  will  pay   income  tax  of
       approximately  $5  million  as a  result  of the  sale of  UltraRF  after
       utilization  of  net  operating  losses  carryforwards  and  certain  tax
       credits.  This  payment has been  reflected in the deferred tax asset and
       income tax payable account.

5.     The pro forma  condensed  consolidated  statements of operations has been
       prepared for continuing operations and, therefore,  do not give effect to
       the gain from the sale of UltraRF.

6.     The actual  impact of the sale of UltraRF  could  differ  from that shown
       above  due to an  adjustment  to the  proceeds  from the sale for the net
       increase or decrease in net assets of UltraRF between October 1, 2000 and
       the closing date, being December 29, 2000, of the sale.
