ITEM 2.       ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On June 19, 2001 (the "Closing Date"), First Virtual Communications,
a Delaware corporation ("First Virtual Communications"), completed the
acquisition of CUseeMe Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CUseeMe").
The acquisition was effected in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of March 22,
2001, by and among First Virtual Communications, FVC Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of First Virtual
Communications ("Merger Sub"), and CUseeMe, pursuant to which Merger Sub was
merged with and into CUseeMe, and CUseeMe became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
First Virtual Communications (the "Merger"). The Merger is intended to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will be accounted for as a
purchase. A copy of the Merger Agreement is included hereto as Exhibit 2.1
and is incorporated herein by reference.

         At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of CUseeMe
common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.254 shares of First
Virtual Communications common stock. In addition, First Virtual Communications
assumed all of the outstanding options and a warrant to purchase capital stock
of CUseeMe in connection with the Merger, and such options and warrant are now
exercisable for shares of First Virtual Communications common stock, with
appropriate adjustment to exercise price and share numbers based on the exchange
ratio.

         As a result of the Merger, First Virtual Communications issued
approximately 15,599,390 shares of its common stock and assumed options and a
warrant to purchase approximately 4,109,888 shares of its common stock.

         A further description of the completion of the Merger is set forth
in the press release issued by the Company, dated June 19, 2001, a copy of
which is included hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
