ITEM 2.      ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

        On December 29, 2000, the Registrant, Inktomi Corporation ("Inktomi"),
consummated its acquisition of certain assets of Adero, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Adero"). The transaction was closed pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of December 21, 2000 by and between Inktomi and Adero. Under
the agreement, Inktomi acquired various business assets of Adero, consisting
primarily of computer servers; commercial software; networking equipment;
desktops, equipment and furnishings; sales and promotional literature; customer
and supplier lists; advertising materials; marketing plans and surveys;
management training literature and technical product and user training manuals;
technical development notes; drawings and other development and system operation
documentation. In addition, Inktomi acquired and licensed other intellectual
property and technologies from Adero, consisting primarily of a patent
application and internally developed software, know-how, protocols, processes,
specifications, algorithms, project plans and documentation. Inktomi also
assumed various customer agreements, vendor agreements, support agreements and
purchase orders. All of the acquired assets, technologies and agreements
generally relate to the Content Bridge service offering of Adero, which is the
business of providing trusted third party clearinghouse, log information,
traffic reporting and billing services, related to content distribution, to an
alliance of network operators, including Internet service providers, network
service providers, access providers, hosting entities and other similar
organizations. In exchange for the assets, technologies and agreements, Inktomi
paid $23.5 million in cash and assumed various operational liabilities,
including personnel costs associated with hired Content Bridge employees. The
cash consideration was funded from working capital.
