ITEM 2.       ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     Westell Technologies,  Inc. ("Westell") acquired Teltrend Inc. ("Teltrend")
     on March 17,  2000,  pursuant  to an  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger  dated
     December 13, 1999, among Westell,  Teltrend and Theta Acquisition  Corp., a
     wholly owned subsidiary of Westell.  The acquisition was effected through a
     merger of Theta  Acquisition Corp. into Teltrend,  with Teltrend  surviving
     the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Westell.

     Prior to the merger,  Teltrend's  common stock was publicly traded.  In the
     merger,  each outstanding share of Teltrend common stock was converted into
     the right to receive 3.3 shares of  Westell's  Class A Common  Stock.  As a
     result,  Westell issued an aggregate of 22,621,747 shares of Class A Common
     Stock to the Teltrend  stockholders.  The 3.3 exchange ratio was determined
     by an arms-length  negotiation between Westell and Teltrend.  The shares of
     Westell  Class A Common  Stock  issued to the  Teltrend  stockholders  were
     issued pursuant to Westell's Registration Statement on Form S-4.

     Prior  to  the  merger,   Teltrend's  business  consisted  of  the  design,
     manufacture  and  marketing  a broad range of  telecommunications  and data
     communications  products  used by  businesses  and  telephone  companies to
     provide voice and data services.  Westell intends to integrate the business
     conducted by Teltrend with its own operations.
