Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On May 16, 2003, NaviSite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Registrant"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets relating to the managed infrastructure solutions
business, encompassing messaging and collaboration, managed hosting, bundled-in
managed security, and integrated and related professional services in the United
States and in Europe ("Interliant Assets"), of Interliant, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and several of its subsidiaries (the "Debtors") in the bankruptcy
proceedings of the Debtors under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
pending in the Southern District of New York (White Plains) under lead case
number 02-23150 (ASH), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
May 15, 2003 (the "Agreement"), by and between the Registrant's subsidiary and
the Debtors, approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court on May 15, 2003. Pursuant
to the Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for the Interliant Assets was
approximately $7,005,000, subject to certain adjustments based upon Debtors'
adjusted net worth, comprised of approximately $5,831,000 in cash, $624,000 in
the form of a credit of future distributions to be paid on certain debt of
Interliant, Inc. held by the Registrant's subsidiary on May 16, 2003 (the
"Interliant Debt"), $550,000 in principal amount of a non-interest bearing,
180-day promissory note, secured by the Interliant Debt. As part of the
transaction Registrant's subsidiary assumed up to $5,766,000 in liabilities of
the Debtors relating to the Interliant Assets. On May 16, 2003, Registrant's
subsidiary closed on the purchase of all of the Interliant Assets, other than
the Debtors' accounts receivable. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
Registrant's subsidiary has until June 6, 2003 to close on the purchase of the
accounts receivable in exchange for the payment of $2,000,000, subject to
adjustment, of the remaining cash portion of the purchase price. The source of
funds used for the initial closing was the Registrant's cash on hand. The
Registrant expects to finance the balance of the purchase price through pledge
of accounts receivable. The acquisition price was determined through arms-length
negotiations and competitive bidding for the Interliant Assets at an auction
conducted under the auspices of the Bankruptcy Court.
