  Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
  
       On October 31, 2000, Interwoven, Inc. ("Interwoven") completed its
  acquisition of Ajuba Solutions, Inc., a privately-held California corporation
  ("Ajuba") through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Interwoven with
  and into Ajuba, with Ajuba continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Ajuba
  Merger"). The Ajuba Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization
  and will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
  
       In connection with the Ajuba Merger, Interwoven will issue shares of
  Interwoven common stock to Ajuba shareholders and assume and convert options
  to purchase Ajuba stock into options to purchase Interwoven common stock. The
  aggregate value of the Interwoven shares to be issued and options assumed in
  the Ajuba Merger is approximately $31 million. Cash will be paid in lieu of
  any fractional shares of Interwoven common stock to be issued in the Ajuba
  Merger. Ten percent of the Interwoven shares being issued to Ajuba
  shareholders are being held in escrow to secure certain indemnification
  obligations.
  
       In a separate transaction, on November 1, 2000, Interwoven completed its
  acquisition of Metacode Technologies, Inc., a privately-held California
  corporation ("Metacode") through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of
  Interwoven with and into Metacode, with Metacode continuing as the surviving
  corporation (the "Metacode Merger"). The Metacode Merger is intended to
  qualify as a tax-free reorganization and will be accounted for under the
  purchase method of accounting.
  
       In connection with the Metacode Merger, Interwoven will issue shares of
  Interwoven common stock to Metacode shareholders and assume and convert
  options to purchase Metacode stock into options to purchase Interwoven common
  stock. The aggregate value of the Interwoven shares to be issued and options
  assumed in the Metacode Merger is approximately $150 million. Cash will be
  paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Interwoven common stock to be issued
  in the Metacode Merger. Ten percent of the Interwoven shares being issued in
  the Metacode Merger are being held in escrow to secure certain indemnification
  obligations.
  
       Interwoven is obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-3 with
  the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of Interwoven
  common stock issued in the Ajuba Merger and the Metacode Merger. A
  registration statement on Form S-8 will be filed registering the shares of
  Interwoven common stock issuable upon exercise of assumed and converted Ajuba
  and Metacode options.
  
  
       A press release announcing the respective transactions is attached as an
  exhibit to this report.
  
  Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.
  
       (a)  Financial statements of business acquired.
