  Item 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
  
  This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the
  meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
  21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The forward-looking
  statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
  actual results to differ materially from those referred to in the forward-
  looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, risks
  associated with acquisitions, such as potential difficulties in the assimilation
  of operations, strategies, technologies and products of the acquired company,
  the risk of loss of key personnel of the acquired company and diversion of
  management attention from other business concerns, and business risks including,
  but not limited to, quarterly fluctuations in operating results, failure to meet
  financial expectations of analysts and investors, risks related to market
  acceptance of Vitria Technology Inc.'s ("Vitria") products, deployment delays or
  errors associated with these products, hardware platform incompatibilities,
  reliance on a limited number of customers for a majority of revenue, need to
  maintain and enhance certain business relationships with system integrators and
  other parties, ability to manage growth, activities by Vitria and others
  regarding protection of proprietary information, release of competitive products
  and other actions by competitors and economic downturns in either domestic or
  foreign markets.  These and other risks related to Vitria are detailed in
  Vitria's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, filed
  with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2001.  Vitria does not
  undertake an obligation to update forward-looking statements.
  
  On March 25, 2001, Vitria entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
  Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") with XMLSolutions Corporation, a
  Virginia corporation ("XMLSolutions"), and Victorious Acquisition Sub, Inc., a
  Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Vitria ("Merger Sub").
  
  On April 11, 2001, Merger Sub was merged with and into XMLSolutions (the
  "Merger") and, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"),
  XMLSolutions became a wholly owned subsidiary of Vitria.  At the Effective Time,
  (a) each then outstanding share of common stock  of XMLSolutions ($.001 par
  value) was canceled, (b) each then outstanding share of Series A preferred stock
  of XMLSolutions ($.001 par value) was converted into the right to receive
  $.385962, and (c) each then outstanding share of Series B preferred stock of
  XMLSolutions ($.001 par value) was converted into the right to receive $1.737.
  Vitria did not assume any outstanding options, warrants or other rights to
  acquire any shares of capital stock of XMLSolutions. The aggregate consideration
  received by XMLSolutions shareholders upon the conversion of the outstanding
  shares of capital stock was approximately $7.0 million. In connection with the
  Merger, Vitria also repaid short term debt and satisfied other liabilities of
  XMLSolutions in the aggregate amount of approximately $8.0 million. Vitria used
  working capital for the cash payments to the XMLSolutions shareholders and other
  payees.
  
  The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase.  The foregoing summary of the
  principal terms of the Reorganization Agreement does not purport to be complete
  and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement, a
  copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is hereby incorporated by
  reference.
