  and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (&#147;Olin&#148;), completed Olin&#146;s acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Vari-L (the &#147;Asset Sale&#148;) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 2, 2003,
  by and among the Company, Olin and Vari-L (the &#147;Asset Purchase Agreement&#148;). Prior to the Asset Sale, Vari-L designed and manufactured a wide variety of radio frequency and microwave signal processing components and devices used in the

  defined below). The final consideration received in the Asset Sale is subject to a post-closing net asset adjustment based upon finalization of Vari-L&#146;s balance sheet as of the closing date. The Asset Purchase Agreement further requires Vari-L
  to set aside $1.510 million in cash and 1.281 million shares of the Company&#146;s common stock to satisfy any indemnification claims from the Company or Olin that may arise prior to March 31, 2004. </FONT></P><P

  Item
  2.    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
  Effective May 5, 2003, Sirenza Microdevices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Vari-L Company, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Vari-L"), and Olin Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation
  and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Olin"), completed Olin's acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Vari-L (the "Asset Sale") pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 2, 2003,
  by and among the Company, Olin and Vari-L (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). Prior to the Asset Sale, Vari-L designed and manufactured a wide variety of radio frequency and microwave signal processing components and devices used in the
  wireless communications industry. The Company is a leading designer of high performance radio frequency, or RF, components for communications equipment manufacturers.
  The aggregate consideration paid by the Company at the closing was comprised of $3.972 million in cash on
  hand, 3.371 million shares of the Company's common stock with a market value of $5.326 million as of May 5, 2003 and the assumption of $5.948 million in secured loans and accrued interest payable to the Company under the Loan Facility (as
  defined below). The final consideration received in the Asset Sale is subject to a post-closing net asset adjustment based upon finalization of Vari-L's balance sheet as of the closing date. The Asset Purchase Agreement further requires Vari-L
  to set aside $1.510 million in cash and 1.281 million shares of the Company's common stock to satisfy any indemnification claims from the Company or Olin that may arise prior to March 31, 2004.
  The issuance of the Company' common stock under the Asset
  Purchase Agreement as described above was registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-102099) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective on
  March 28, 2003, and the Company's prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on March 31, 2003.
  Following the closing of the Asset Sale, certain former employees of Vari-L became officers of the Company, including Charles R. Bland,
  the Company's new Chief Operating Officer, Richard P. Dutkiewicz, the Company's new Vice President, Information Technology, and Timothy Schamberger, the Company's new Vice President and General Manager, Signal Source Division.
  On October 7, 2002, Vari-L entered into a loan
  agreement with the Company that provided for a $5.3 million senior secured loan facility (the "Loan Facility"). As a condition to the Loan Facility, Vari-L entered into an Exclusivity and Right of First Refusal Agreement (the
  "Exclusivity Agreement") with the Company to evaluate a potential acquisition of all of substantially all of Vari-L's assets.
