Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On November 15, 1999, Stanford Telecommunications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("STel"), sold to Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Intel"), substantially all of the assets of STel's telecom components products
(TCP) division, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of September
22, 1999 (the "Agreement"). The TCP division produces and sells wireless
broadband silicon components, including wireless Local Multipoint Distribution

silicon components. The TCP division's products are manufactured for head-end

well as customer premise equipment such as cable modems and set-top boxes.

     In consideration of the sale of assets, Intel paid to STel a purchase price
of $37.5 million in cash and assumed certain liabilities of the TCP division.
The purchase price was determined by arms' length negotiations between STel and
Intel.

     In connection with the Agreement, Intel granted to STel a license under
certain patents and patent applications for the purpose of STel making, having
made and selling wireless LMDS/MMDS and satellite broadband board and system
level products, and STel granted to Intel a license to all intellectual property
rights necessary to the conduct of the business of the TCP division.  Also in
connection with the Agreement, STel and Intel entered into an Original Equipment
Manufacturer Agreement relating to the purchase by STel of specified silicon
component products from Intel.

     The foregoing summary of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an
