Item 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On January 30, 1999, The IXATA Group, Inc., formerly SecurFone America,
Inc. (the "Company"), executed an agreement with Teledata World Services, Inc.
("Teledata") (OTC/BB:TWOS), to sell certain prepaid cellular assets to Teledata
for cash and Teledata common stock. The transaction was closed on April 22,
1999. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company sold its wholly-owned
subsidiary, SecurFone, Inc., to Teledata for $498,000 in cash, 600,000 shares of
Teledata common stock, and the option to sell the stock back to Teledata at a
price of $2.50 per share effective one year from the date of the transaction if
the market price of the Teledata stock is less than $2.50 per share. SecurFone,
Inc. assets include certain cellular service resale agreements, the Company's
Miami customer service center, rights to the Buy-The-Minute-TM- product and
selected distribution channels. The asset sale improved the Company's balance
sheet and was consistent with the Company's new business objective pursuing
opportunities in the Internet and electronic commerce markets.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Pro forma adjustments for the balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 and the
statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and the year
ended December 31, 1998 are as follows:

               (1)  Reflects the sale of certain assets held in the Company's
                    wholly-owned subsidiary, SecurFone, Inc., to Teledata, World
                    Services, Inc. (an unrelated entity). Fixed assets used in
                    the prepaid cellular phone efforts were sold for $498,000 in
                    cash and $300,000 of fair value restricted common shares.
                    Teledata advanced cash proceeds of $364,732 to the Company
                    prior to the closing of the agreement (April 22, 1999). Upon
                    the close, the remaining proceeds of $133,268 were paid and
                    the advances reduced the related debt on the Company's
                    balance sheet. The sale of the subsidiary's assets resulted
                    in realized gain of approximately $709,000.

               (2)  Subsequent to the sale of SecurFone, Inc. to Teledata, the
                    Company's management elected not to pursue prepaid cellular
                    operations further. Therefore, all revenue and expenses
                    related to the cellular operations was reclassified to be
                    shown as a restructuring charge in the operating expense
                    section of the statement of operations.
