Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Disposition of the Company's Interest in the MiCRUS Joint Venture

During June of 1999 Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant")
signed a Restructuring Agreement with International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM") to divest the Company's interest in one of the Company's
manufacturing joint ventures, MiCRUS.

On July 19, 1999, the closing date, the Company was required to pay $135 million
in cash to IBM and to transfer to IBM shares of common stock of the Company
valued at $32 million. The Company also transferred to IBM the Company's
partnership interest and certain assets relating to the partnership's operation,
and will forgive certain debts owed to the Company by IBM and/or MiCRUS relating
to the use of certain assets prior to the closing date.

In exchange for this consideration, IBM will release the Company of its
obligations to support the partnership and to maintain certain lease payment
guarantees issued jointly and severally with IBM. IBM will be responsible for
the costs associated with winding down the partnership, including costs
associated with employee terminations and the dismantling of equipment, except
costs incurred by the partnership prior to the closing date. The Company also
committed to an amended wafer purchase agreement.

The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file an effective shelf
registration statement with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission listing
IBM as a selling shareholder such that IBM may sell the transferred Cirrus
Logic, Inc. shares in the future. Additionally, the Company guaranteed to IBM
the value of the transferred shares in the event that the Company is unable to
complete an effective registration statement or to the extent that IBM realizes
losses in the market value of the transferred shares pending closure of this
transaction. IBM will split with the Company any share appreciation in excess of
the guaranteed value up to a maximum of $48 million.

Cirrus Logic Unaudited Pro-Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following  unaudited pro forma consolidated  balance sheet at March 27, 1999
gives  effect to the  estimated  financial  impact of the MiCRUS  Joint  Venture
Restructuring  Agreement (the "Agreement") with IBM. The pro forma  consolidated
balance  sheet as of March 27, 1999,  gives pro forma effect to the Agreement as
if  such  transactions  were  consummated  on that  date.  The  Company  has not
presented a pro forma statement of operations for any period as it believes that
any recurring adjustments, which primarily arise from the revised wafer purchase
commitment, will occur subsequent to the disposition of the equity investment in
MiCRUS  and will be based on the level of  future  wafer  purchases  and are not
currently factually supportable.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed  Consolidated  Pro Forma Financial  Statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes  thereto that are included in the  Company's  Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 1999. The Unaudited  Consolidated
Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared by Cirrus Logic management and
are not  necessarily  indicative of the  presentation  of the Company's  balance
sheet or results of operations for any future period.

Notes to Unaudited Pro-Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data

(A)  The Agreement requires the Company to pay $135 million in cash to IBM and
     issue into an escrow account shares of the Company's common stock with a
     fair value (based on the average closing price of the Company's common
     stock for the 20 days prior to closing) of $32 million. Under the escrow
     arrangement, the escrow period ends on April 1, 2000, wherein some or all
     of the shares will be released to IBM. If the fair value of the shares on
     April 1, 2000 is less than $32 million, Cirrus must pay the difference to
     IBM in cash. If the fair value of the shares exceeds $32 million, shares
     equal to one-half of the excess over $32 million are returned to the
     Company and the remaining shares are released to IBM.

     During the six month period following April 1, 2000, IBM may sell on the
     open market the Cirrus stock it received. If at the end of the six month
     period on October 1, 2000, IBM has sold at least 15% of the Cirrus stock,
     it can require Cirrus to purchase the remaining shares for cash such that
     the total received by IBM, including the amounts IBM received in open
     market sales, is $32 million. If during the six month period ending on
     October 1, 2000, the Cirrus stock received by IBM appreciates to over $32
     million, IBM may keep all proceeds from the sale of stock in excess of $32
     million up to a maximum of $48 million. Amounts received by IBM in excess
     of $48 million must be returned to Cirrus.

     Because Cirrus has guaranteed IBM a minimum of $32 million in cash, either
     through open market sales of Cirrus stock or through repurchase of the
     stock directly by Cirrus, the fair value of the shares placed in escrow as
     well as the value associated with the embedded stock derivative granted to
     IBM has been reflected in the accompanying pro forma balance sheet as a
     liability. The fair value of the embedded stock derivative was estimated by
     the Company based on discussions with outside investment advisors.

     A summary of the pro forma impact on the balance sheet is as follows:


                                                            
     Cash payments to IBM                                      $135,000
     Stock issued into escrow                                    32,000
     Embedded derivative                                          4,800
     Reduction of wafer purchase commitment                     (54,869)
                                                                --------
     Total impact on Net Capital Deficiency                    $116,931


     The total loss of $116,931 has not been reflected in the unaudited pro
     forma consolidated condensed statement of operations since such amount is
     non-recurring in nature.
