**TERAYON COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**



1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements at September 30, 2000 and for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been included.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. (the
"Company") and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries.  The minority interests in net losses of its majority
owned subsidiaries were insignificant for all periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal
year or future periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
accompanying notes included in the Company's Form 10-K dated March 30, 2000, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and as amended on April 28, 2000.  The accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 1999 is derived from audited financial
statements at that date.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

The Company invests its excess cash in money market accounts and debt instruments and considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments with an original maturity
at the time of purchase of over three months are classified as short-term investments regardless of maturity date, as all such
instruments are classified as available-for-sale and can be readily liquidated to meet current operational needs.  At September 30,
2000, all of the Company's total cash equivalents and short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale and were
obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and multinational corporations, maturing within two years.

Other Current Receivables

Other current receivables consist largely of amounts due from the Company's contract manufacturers for raw materials
purchased from the Company. Other current receivables also includes amounts due from Tyco Electronics Corporation ("Tyco")
relating to cash collected from customers by Tyco on behalf of the Access Network Electronics Division ("ANE") subsequent
to the Company's acquisition of ANE.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The components of inventory are as follows (in
thousands):

|                |  | September 30, |  | December 31,
|--------------- |  | ------------- |  | ------------
|                |  | 2000          |  | 1999        
|Finished goods  |  | $14,292       |  | $3,201      
|Work-in-process |  | 1,664         |  | 583         
|Raw materials   |  | 25,895        |  | 1,207       
|Total           |  | $41,851       |  | $4,991      



Cost of Related Party Product Revenues

Cost of goods sold for related party revenue consists of only direct material cost.

Net Loss Per Share

Historical basic and diluted net losses per share were computed using weighted average number of common shares
outstanding.   Options, warrants, restricted stock, and convertible debt securities in the amounts of 13,125,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and 11,860,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, were not included in the computation of diluted
net loss per share applicable to common stockholders because the effect would be antidilutive.

Comprehensive Net Loss

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130).
FAS 130 requires that all items required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income
(comprehensive net loss) be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. Accumulated other comprehensive income presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consist of net
unrealized gains on short-term investments as of September 30, 2000. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's
comprehensive loss was approximately $26,539,000 or approximately $85,000 greater than its net loss. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, the Company's comprehensive loss was approximately $88,931,000 or approximately $281,000 less than its net loss.
The Company's comprehensive loss was the same as its net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133).  FAS 133 provides a comprehensive and consistent
standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities.  FAS 133 was effective for fiscal years beginning
after September 15, 1999.  In July 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133" (FAS 137).  FAS 137 defers for one year the effective date of FAS 133 which will now apply to all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company believes that the adoption of FAS 133 will not have a significant impact on
the Company's operating results or cash flows.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements."  SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in the financial
statements of public companies.  SAB 101B delayed the effective date of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999 (the fourth quarter of 2000 for the Company).  For companies adopting SAB 101
subsequent to the first quarter, financial information for prior quarters would be restated with cumulative effect adjustment
reflected in the first quarter in accordance with FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements." In subsequent periods, registrants should disclose the amount of revenue, if material, recognized in those periods
that were included in the cumulative effect adjustment. The Company currently cannot determine the effect, if any, that SAB 101 will
have on the Company's financial statements.  Management believes that SAB 101, to the extent it is applicable to the Company, will
not effect the underlying strength or weakness of the Company's business operations as measured by the dollar value of the Company's
shipments and cash flows.

2. Convertible Subordinated Notes

In July 2000, we issued $500 million of 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due in August 2007 (the "Convertible
Notes") resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $484.5 million. In addition, we have granted the initial purchasers,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Lehman Brothers, Inc., an option, exercisable for thirty days, to purchase up to an additional
$75.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, on the same terms and conditions as the original Convertible Notes.
This option was not exercised by either purchaser.  The Convertible Notes are our general unsecured obligation and are subordinated
in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries. The
Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $84.01 per share at any time on or after
October 24, 2000 through maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased.  We may redeem some or all of the Convertible Notes at
any time on or after October 24, 2000 and before August 7, 2003 at a redemption price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the
Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if the closing price of our stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price,
or $126.01 for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of
mailing of the redemption notice.  We will also make an additional payment of $193.55 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
Notes, less the amount of any interest actually paid on the Convertible Notes before the date of redemption. We may redeem the Notes
at any time on or after August 7, 2003 at specified prices plus accrued and unpaid interest.  Interest is payable semiannually.  Debt
issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes are estimated at $15.5 million.

3. Stockholders' Equity

Warrant

In October 1999, a customer (the "Customer") of the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement")
with Telegate Ltd. ("Telegate") whereby the Customer committed to an investment in Telegate in connection with the
acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Telegate by the Company.  The Customer committed to provide this investment in the event
that the acquisition of Telegate by the Company had not occurred. In consideration of the Customer entering into this Agreement, the
Company agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued on the date of the Telegate
closing.  In January 2000, the Company issued the Customer a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $30.75 per share; the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date the warrant was issued.  The warrant is fully
vested, non-forfeitable, and immediately exercisable and has a term of three years. The fair value of the warrant, determined as
approximately $34,600,000 using the Black Scholes model, was included in the Telegate purchase price and was associated with the
value of the customer relationship. The value of the warrant will result in a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold over the three-
year term of the warrant.  For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company incurred approximately
$2,882,000 and $8,645,000, respectively, in amortization expense related to the Agreement.

Common Stock

In February 2000, the Company's board of directors approved a two-for-one split of the Company's outstanding shares of common
stock to be effected in the form of a stock dividend, subject to stockholder approval of an increase in the Company's authorized
shares of common stock.  In April 2000, the Company's stockholders approved an increase in the Company's authorized shares to
200,000,000.  The Company's Board of Directors subsequently established the record date for the stock split as April 25, 2000 and the
stock dividend was distributed on May 5, 2000. The changes in the capital structure resulting from the split have been given
retroactive effect in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2000.

4.  Product Development Assistance Agreement

On March 18, 1999, the Company entered into a one-year Product Development Assistance Agreement ("Development
Agreement") with Rogers Communications Inc. ("Rogers Communications"). Under the terms of the Development Agreement,
Rogers Communications was obligated to provide the Company assistance with the characterization and testing of the Company's
subscriber-end and head-end voice-over-cable equipment.  In addition, Rogers Communications was obligated to provide the Company with
technology to assist the Company in connection with its efforts to develop high quality, field proven technology solutions that are
DOCSIS-compliant and packet cable-compliant. In consideration of Rogers Communications entering into the Development Agreement, the
Company issued Rogers Communications two fully vested and non-forfeitable warrants, each to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common
stock.  One warrant provided for an exercise price of $0.50 per share and one warrant provided for an exercise price of $18.50 per
share.  The fair value of the two warrants, at the time of issuance, was estimated to be approximately $44,700,000 and has resulted
in a non-cash charge included in operations over the one-year term of the Development Agreement.  For the nine months ended September
30, 2000, the Company incurred approximately $9,600,000 of product development expense related to the Development Agreement. No
charges were incurred related to the Development Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2000.  In March 2000, Rogers
Communications exercised the warrants on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 3,687,618 shares of the Company's common
stock and no proceeds to the Company.

On March 18, 1999, the Company also entered into a Supply Agreement with Rogers Cable Inc. ("Rogers Cable"), formerly
Rogers Cablesytems Limited, a subsidiary of Rogers Communications.  The Supply Agreement and the Development Agreement did not
constitute a commitment to purchase or deploy any particular volume or quantity of the Company's product.  Such commitment was only
made when a valid purchase order was issued to the Company.  Under the Supply Agreement, the Company agreed to make available to
Rogers Cable its current TeraLink Gateway, TeraLink 1000 Master Controller, TeraPro Cable Modems and specified software. The Company
also committed to certain product pricing and specifications.  Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Rogers Cable retained the
right to return to the Company all products purchased until certain conditions specified in the agreement were met by the Company.
Accordingly, the Company did not recognize revenue on shipments to Rogers Cable until the conditions specified in the Agreement were
met or Rogers Cable had waived the right to return the product.  The Company deferred recognition of revenue for shipments to Rogers
Cable until the quarter ended September 30, 1999 when the first waiver was received from Rogers Cable.  The Company subsequently
recognized revenue only to the extent that Rogers Cable had waived the rights of return for such product. As of March 31, 2000,
Rogers Cable had waived all rights of return under the Supply Agreement; accordingly, the only rights of return that remain available
to Rogers Cable are those provided under the Company's standard warranty policy. The Supply Agreement expired on April 1, 2000.

5.  Contingencies

In April 2000, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors (collectively the defendants),
entitled Birnbaum v. Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. The lawsuit originally was filed in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California, and subsequently the venue for the lawsuit has been moved to the Northern District of California. The
plaintiff purports to be suing on behalf of a class of stockholders who purchased or obligated themselves to purchase the Company's
securities during the period from February 2, 2000 to April 11, 2000. The complaint alleges that the Company and the other defendants
violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements and failing to disclose material
information regarding the Company's technology. Several other lawsuits similar to the Birnbaum suit have since been filed. The
lawsuits seek an unspecified amount of damages, in addition to other forms of relief. On August 24, 2000, the lawsuits against the
Company and other named individual defendants were consolidated in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California and
lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs' counsel were appointed pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. On September
21, 2000, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws.  The consolidated
complaint contains allegations nearly identical to the Birnbaum suit.  On October 30,2000, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
consolidated complaint.  The Company considers the lawsuits to be without merit and intends to defend vigorously against these
allegations. However, the litigation could prove to be costly and time consuming to defend, and there can be no guarantees about the
eventual outcome.

In the normal course of business, the Company from time to time receives inquiries with regard to various legal proceedings. In
the opinion of management, any liability resulting from these inquiries has been accrued and will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

6.  Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

During the second quarter of 2000, the Company realigned its internal organization as a result of acquisitions completed
during and subsequent to the fourth quarter of 1999.

The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) because he has final authority over
resource allocation decisions and performance assessment.  The CODM allocates resources to each segment based on their business
prospects, competitive factors, revenues and operating results.

The Company develops, markets and sells broadband access systems that enable cable operators and other providers of broadband
access services to deploy broadband access services over cable, copper wire utilizing DSL and wireless systems. The Company views its
business as having two principal operating segments:  Cable Broadband Access Systems ("Cable") and DSL Access Systems
("DSL"). The Cable segment consists primarily of the TeraComm system, the CherryPicker Digital Video Management Systems,
and the Multigate Telephony and Data Access Systems which are sold primarily to cable operators for the deployment of data, video and
voice services over the existing cable infrastructure.  The DSL segment consists primarily of the Miniplex DSL Systems, the IPTL
Converged Voice and Data Service System and the Highlink, which are sold to providers of broadband services for the deployment of
voice and data services over the existing copper wire infrastructure.  The Company's other operating segments, which are below the
quantitative threshold defined by SFAS 131, are disclosed in the "all other" category.    The Company sells directly to
providers of broadband access services and to distributors and resellers throughout the world.

Information on reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 is as follows.  For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, the Company operated in one segment, the sale of cable broadband access systems.

7.  Business Combinations

Telegate Ltd.

In October 1999, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement ("Telegate Agreement") to acquire Telegate
Ltd, an Israeli company.  Telegate produces telephony and data access platforms that are deployed by service providers to deliver
efficient carrier-class voice services over cable. Telegate also provides in-home networking capability for telephony and data, based
on the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephony (DECT) standard.   The transaction was completed on January 2, 2000.

In accordance with the Telegate Agreement, the former shareholders and vested option holders of Telegate received a total of
4,400,000 shares of the Company's common stock and a cash payment of approximately $3,400,000.  The Company issued 4,400,000 shares
of common stock and paid approximately $2,500,000 in cash on January 2, 2000. The Company made the remaining cash payment of
approximately $858,000 during the third quarter of 2000. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, valued at approximately  $34.6 million under the terms of an agreement between Telegate and a customer of
the Company. (See Note 2)  The value of the warrant was included in the purchase price and was associated with the value of the
customer relationship.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The approximate purchase price was determined to be
$138,000,000.    The consolidation of the assets and liabilities significantly affected the Company's balance sheet at September 30,
2000, as depicted in the following tables (in thousands):

Tangible assets of Telegate include principally cash, accounts receivable, inventory and property and equipment.  Liabilities of
Telegate assumed consist principally of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

With respect to the customer to which the warrant was issued, the value of the customer relationship was determined as the value
of the warrant using the Black Scholes model. The warrant is fully vested, non-forfeitable, and immediately exercisable and has a
term of three years.  The value of the customer relationship is being amortized to cost of goods sold on a straight-line basis over a
three-year period.

To determine the value of the developed technology, the expected future cash flow attributed to all existing technology was
discounted, taking into account risks related to the characteristics and application of the technology, existing and future markets
and assessments of the life cycle stage of the technology.  The analysis resulted in a valuation of approximately $21,100,000 for
developed technology, which had reached technological feasibility and therefore was capitalized. The developed technology is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a six-year period to cost of goods sold.

The value of the assembled workforce was derived by estimating the costs to replace the existing employees, including recruiting
and hiring costs and training costs for each category of employee.  The analysis yielded a valuation of approximately $4,200,000 for
the assembled workforce.  The asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a two-year period.

The projects identified as in process are those that were underway at Telegate at the time of the acquisition and will, after
January 2, 2000, require additional effort in order to establish technological feasibility.  Because of the risks involved in
developing technology, even though the Company expects successful completion it cannot assure it.  The estimate of in-process
research and development is $6,750,000 and was included in the Company's results of operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2000.

In-process technology acquired consists primarily of major additions to Telegate's core technology, which is related to Telegate's
planned development of new features.  The majority of the intended functionality of these new features is not supported by Telegate's
current technology.  Intended new features include: connection on demand functionality to extend the product's ISDN compatibility;
the ability to use cordless technology for either voice or data applications; and, a subscriber end unit that can be used in multi-
dwelling units.  Notwithstanding the Company's expectations that the technology will be successfully developed, there remain
significant technical challenges that must be resolved in order to complete the in-process technology.

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a six-year period.



Access Network Electronics Division of Tyco Electronics Corporation

In February 2000, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "ANE Agreement") to acquire certain
assets and assume certain liabilities of the Access Network Electronics Division (ANE) of Tyco Electronics Corporation, a subsidiary
of Tyco International Ltd.    ANE produces DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) systems that provide multiple phone lines over the existing
copper telephony network. The transaction was completed on April 22, 2000 (the "ANE Closing Date").

In accordance with the ANE Agreement, the Company issued 1,404,552 shares of common stock, valued at approximately $85,000,000
based on the maximum purchase price specified in the ANE Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to establish an employee
retention program for purposes of retaining certain identified employees of ANE.  The retention program provides for up to 3 annual
payments to the identified employees in a total amount of approximately $4,200,000 provided the employees remain employed by the
Company. The retention payments will be charged to expense over the employees' respective periods of service.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values.

period.

The projects identified as in process are those that were underway at ANE at the time of the acquisition and will, after April
22, 2000, require additional effort in order to establish technological feasibility.  Because of the risks involved in developing
technology, even though the Company expects successful completion it cannot assure it.  The estimate of in-process research and
development is $735,000 and was included in the Company's results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

In-process technology acquired in the transaction consists primarily of additions to ANE's core technology, which is related to
ANE's planned development of new features.  A portion of the intended functionality of these new features is not supported by ANE's
current technology.  The resultant technology is intended to allow the transmission from a 56Kbps modem without the loss of
transmission rate.  Notwithstanding the Company's expectations that the technology will be successfully developed, there remain
significant technical challenges that must be resolved in order to complete the in-process technology.

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.

Tangible assets of Ultracom acquired principally include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and property and equipment. Liabilities of Ultracom assumed principally include long-term debt, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities.

To determine the value of the developed technology, the expected future cash flow attributed to all existing technology was
discounted, taking into account risks related to the characteristics and application of the technology, existing and future markets
and assessments of the life cycle stage of the technology.  The analysis resulted in a valuation of approximately $1,050,000 for
developed technology that had reached technological feasibility and therefore was capitalized. The developed technology is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period to cost of goods sold.

The value of the assembled workforce was derived by estimating the costs to replace the existing employees, including recruiting
and hiring costs and training costs for each category of employee.  The analysis yielded a valuation of approximately $1,100,000 for
the assembled workforce.  The asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a two-year period.

The projects identified as in process are those that were underway at Ultracom at the time of the acquisition and will, after
April  19, 2000, require additional effort in order to establish technological feasibility.  Because of the risks involved in
developing technology, even though the Company expects successful completion it cannot assure it. The estimate of in-process research
and development was $1,800,000 and was included in the Company's results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

In-process technology acquired in the transaction consists primarily of additions to Ultracom's core technology, which is related
to Ultracom's planned development of new features.  A portion of the intended functionality of these new features is not supported by
Ultracom's current technology.  Intended new features include system on chip solutions for DOCSIS and DVB/DAVIC cable modems.
Notwithstanding the Company's expectations that the technology will be successfully developed, there remain significant technical
challenges that must be resolved in order to complete the in-process technology.

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.



Mainsail Networks

In August 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization to acquire Mainsail Networks, Inc.
("Mainsail"). Mainsail develops and markets next-generation broadband networks that enable telecommunications carriers to
deliver multiple services over a single network infrastructure.  The transaction was completed on September 29, 2000 (the
"Mainsail Closing Date").

In accordance with the Mainsail Agreement, the Company issued 2,813,290 shares of common stock and options to purchase 323,445
shares of common stock to the Mainsail shareholders and option holders. The purchase price was estimated to be approximately
$142,800,000.  The estimated purchase price was determined based on the fair market value of Terayon's common stock on the days
immediately preceding and following the date the acquisition was announced ($165,300,000) less the intrinsic value of the unvested
options recorded as deferred compensation  ($22,500,000).  Deferred compensation is amortized over the option holders' vesting
period.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The consolidation of the assets and liabilities significantly
affected the Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2000, as depicted in the following tables

(in thousands):



|Purchase Price                                           | $142,833

Tangible assets of Mainsail acquired principally include cash, inventory and property and
equipment. Liabilities of Mainsail assumed principally include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable.

To determine the value of the developed technology, the expected future cash flow attributed to all existing technology was
discounted, taking into account risks related to the characteristics and application of the technology, existing and future markets
and assessments of the life cycle stage of the technology.  The analysis resulted in a valuation of approximately $49,000,000 for
developed technology that had reached technological feasibility and therefore was capitalized. The developed technology is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period to cost of goods sold.

The value of the assembled workforce was derived by estimating the costs to replace the existing employees, including recruiting
and hiring costs and training costs for each category of employee.  The analysis yielded a valuation of approximately $2,800,000 for
the assembled workforce.  The asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a two-year period.

The projects identified as in process are those that were underway at Mainsail at the time of the acquisition and will, after
September 29, 2000, require additional effort in order to establish technological feasibility.  Because of the risks involved in
developing technology, even though the Company expects successful completion it cannot assure it. The estimate of in-process research
and development was $5,000,000 and was included in the Company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000.

In-process technology acquired in the transaction consists primarily of additions to Mainsail's core technology, which is related
to Mainsail's planned development of new features.  A portion of the intended functionality of these new features is not supported by
Mainsail's current technology.  The resultant technology is intended to provide a high capacity CPE (customer premise equipment) and
low cost gateway. Notwithstanding the Company's expectations that the technology will be successfully developed, there remain
significant technical challenges that must be resolved in order to complete the in-process technology.

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period.



Digitrans

On September 27, 2000, the Company acquired Digital Transmission Equipment ("Digitrans") pursuant to the terms of a
Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the former owner of Digitrans.  Digitrans develops, markets and sells digital
equipment solutions that enable broadcasters, satellite operators and cable television system operators to optimize network
services.

In accordance with the Digitrans Agreement, the Company issued 394,329 shares of common stock.  The purchase price was
approximately $17,100,000 based on the fair market value of Terayon's common stock on the days immediately preceding and following
the date the acquisition was announced.  In addition, as a result of certain conditions stipulated in the Agreement with regards with
the Company's common stock, the company will issue 363,349 additional shares of common stock to the former owner  of Digitrans.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to
goodwill at September 30, 2000, pending the completion of certain valuation analyses.  The Company anticipates that a significant
portion of the purchase price will be allocated to intangible assets, including goodwill, upon completion of the valuation
analyses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview



We develop, market and sell broadband access systems. Our objective is to be the leading provider of broadband access systems
to providers of broadband services that use existing cable, copper wire (DSL) and wireless networks to offer services to residential
and commercial end users. Since our inception in January 1993, we have focused on the development of our patented S-CDMA technology,
as well as certain other core technologies, to enable broadband transmission of data over cable networks. We began the specification
and design of our first ASIC in October 1994 and produced the first version of this ASIC in September 1996. At the same time, we
developed an end-to-end broadband access system, the TeraComm system, around the ASIC. We commenced volume shipments of our TeraComm
system in the first quarter of 1998.  In furtherance of our strategy to provide a complete portfolio of broadband products, we have
recently completed several acquisitions of complementary broadband technologies, including digital video management systems, DSL and
wireless.



We sell our products to cable operators and other providers of broadband access services through direct sales forces in North
America, South America, Europe and Asia.  We also distribute our products via distributors and system integrators. Our strategy is to
supply the leading providers of broadband access services worldwide. Consistent with this strategy, our initial target market
consisted of the ten largest cable companies in each major geographic area. In most markets, a small number of large cable operators
often provide services to a majority of the subscribers in a specific region and thus influence the purchase decisions of smaller
cable operators. In North America, three of the largest cable operators, Rogers Cable Inc. (formerly Rogers Cablesystems Limited),
Shaw and TCA Cable TV (a subsidiary of Cox Communications, Inc.), are using our TeraComm system. In Japan, through our partner
Sumitomo, we have established ourselves as a market leader. In Europe, our TeraComm system is being used by UPC, one of Europe's
largest broadband communications companies. Companies currently using our DSL products include major ILEC's (Incumbent Local Exchange
Carriers) in the United States, including SBC, Bell Atlantic, Bell South, U.S. West and GTE. As a result of the nature of the cable
industry and our strategic focus, a small number of customers have accounted for the majority of our revenues to date, and we expect
that the majority of our revenues will continue to be generated from a small number of customers for the foreseeable future. In the
three months ended September 30, 2000, three customers (two of which are related parties) accounted for approximately 50% of our
revenues. This compares to approximately 75% of our revenues from four customers (two of which are related parties) in the same
period in 1999. In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, three customers (two of which are related parties) accounted for
approximately 49% of our revenues compared to approximately 54% of our revenues from three customers (one of which is a related
party) for the same period last year. We anticipate that the timing and maturity of these customers' deployments of the TeraComm
system will result in variations in revenues generated from these customers.



The rapid evolution of broadband has resulted in cable television operators, providers of telephone service and other service
providers seeking to provide a bundle of voice, data and video services to their residential and commercial subscribers over existing
and new infrastructures. Consistent with our objective to be a leading provider of broadband access systems, through a series of
recent acquisitions, we are building a complete portfolio of broadband products to support high-speed delivery of voice, data and
video services over cable, DSL and wireless.

- In September 1999, we acquired Imedia and the CherryPicker digital video management system.

- In November 1999, we acquired Radwiz, a provider of communication access systems based on high-speed IP routing integrated with
telephony.

- In January 2000, we acquired Telegate, a developer and manufacturer of telephony and data access platforms that are deployed by
service providers to deliver efficient carrier-class voice services over cable.

- In April 2000, we acquired Combox, a manufacturer of broadband data systems and satellite communications based on international
standards, and certain assets of Internet Telecom, a supplier of PacketCable and other standards-based, voice-over IP systems and
technologies, through our Israeli subsidiary, Telegate.

- In April 2000, we acquired Ultracom, a supplier of broadband systems on silicon.

- In April 2000, we acquired ANE, a producer of DSL systems that provide multiple phone lines over existing copper telephony of a
single pair of copper wires.

- In September 2000, we acquired Mainsail Networks, Inc., a developer of broadband networks that enable telecommunication carriers
to deliver multiple services over a single network infrastructure.

- In September 2000, we acquired Digital Transmission Equipment ("Digitrans"), a provider of digital equipment solutions
that enable broadcasters, satellite operators and television system operators to optimize network services.



The intensely competitive nature of the market for broadband access systems has resulted in significant price erosion over
time. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience downward pressure on our unit ASP or average selling price. A key
component of our strategy is to decrease the cost of manufacturing our products to improve our gross margins. To date, we have
successfully introduced cost reductions that have allowed us to continue to improve gross margin performance despite ongoing ASP
declines. We intend to continue to engage in and implement cost reduction efforts, including the further integration of ASIC
components, other design changes and manufacturing efficiencies.



We sustained a net loss of $26.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000 and $24.6 million in the same period in
1999. In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we sustained a net loss of $89.2 million compared to a net loss of $45.1 million
for the same period in 1999. We had an accumulated deficit of $237.6 million as of September 30, 2000. Our operating expenses are
based in part on our expectations of future sales, and we expect that a significant portion of our expenses will be committed in
advance of sales. We expect to continue to increase our expenditures in technical development and sales and marketing as we engage in
activities related to product enhancement, cost reduction and increasing market penetration. In addition, we anticipate that our
expenses will increase as a result of the expenses associated with our recent acquisitions, including amortization. We also
anticipate that future acquisitions will result in increased expense levels. Additionally, we expect to increase our capital
expenditures and other operating expenses in order to support and expand our operations. We anticipate that we will spend
approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million on capital expenditures and approximately $95.0 million to $110.0 million on research
and development during the 12 months ending September 30, 2001. Anticipated capital expenditures consist of purchases of additional
test equipment to support higher levels of production and computer hardware, furniture and leasehold improvements for expansion of
our facilities, expanded geographical implementation of an enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system and software and equipment for
newly hired employees. As a result of these anticipated increased operating expenses, we expect to continue to incur losses for the
foreseeable future.

Acquisitions

Telegate.

In October 1999, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Telegate Ltd, an Israeli company.  Telegate produces
telephony and data access platforms that are deployed by service providers to deliver efficient carrier-class voice services over
cable. Telegate also provides in-home networking capability for telephony and data, based on the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephony
(DECT) standard.   The transaction was completed on January 2, 2000.  We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase transaction.

Access Networks Electronics Division of Tyco Electronics Corporation

In February 2000, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the
Access Network Electronics Division (ANE) of Tyco Electronics Corporation, a subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd.    ANE produces
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) systems that provide multiple phone lines over the existing copper telephony network. We issued
1,404,552 shares of common stock, valued at approximately $85.0 million based on the maximum purchase price specified in the asset
purchase agreement. We also established an employee retention program for purposes of retaining certain identified employees of ANE.
The retention program provides for up to three annual payments to the identified employees in a total amount of approximately $4.2
million provided the employees remain employed by us. The retention payments will be charged to expense over the employees'
respective periods of service. The transaction was completed on April 22, 2000. We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase
transaction.

Combox Ltd.

In February 2000, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Combox Ltd ("Combox"), an Israeli company.
Combox is a manufacturer of broadband data systems and satellite communications based on international standards.  Combox's cable
data access systems conform to the growing EuroModem international specification, based on the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)
standard.  We issued 1,547,770 shares of common stock valued at approximately $92.0 million based on the fair market value of our
common stock on the days immediately preceding and following the date the acquisition was announced. In addition, we issued options
to purchase our common stock to the vested and unvested option holders of Combox options valued at approximately $5.5 million. The
transaction was completed on April 18, 2000.  We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase transaction.

Internet Telecom

In March 2000, our subsidiary Telegate and we, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement under which Telegate agreed to purchase
certain assets of Internet Telecom Ltd. ("Internet Telecom"), an Israeli company.  Internet Telecom is a supplier of
PacketCable and other standards-based, voice-over-IP ("Internet Protocol") systems and technologies. We issued 377,380
shares of common stock valued at approximately $44.0 million based on the fair market value of our common stock on the days
immediately preceding and following the announcement of the acquisition and paid the former shareholders of Internet Telecom
approximately $2.0 million. The transaction was completed on April 18, 2000.  We accounted for the transaction as a purchase
transaction.

Ultracom

In March 2000, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Ultracom Communication Holdings (1995) Ltd.
("Ultracom"), an Israeli company. Ultracom is a supplier of broadband systems-on-silicon.  We issued 536,766 shares of
common stock valued at approximately $50.0 million based on the fair market value of the our common stock on the days immediately
preceding and following the date the acquisition was announced. We assumed the unvested Ultracom options, the value of which was
included in the purchase price and the intrinsic value of the unvested options, approximately $2.0 million,  was recorded as unearned
compensation. The transaction was completed April 19, 2000. We accounted for the transaction as a purchase transaction.

Mainsail

In August 2000, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization to acquire Mainsail Networks, Inc. Mainsail
develops and markets next-generation broadband networks that enable telecommunications carriers to deliver multiple services over a
single network infrastructure.  The transaction was completed on September 29, 2000. We issued 2,813,290 shares of common stock and
323,445 options to purchase our common stock to the vested and unvested option holders of Mainsail options.   The purchase price was
estimated to be approximately $142,800,000 based on the fair market value of our common stock on the days immediately preceding and
following the date the acquisition was announced.  The unearned compensation for the intrinsic value of the unvested options is
approximately $22,500,000.  The transaction was completed on September 29, 2000.   We accounted for the transaction as a purchase
transaction.

Digitrans

On September 27, 2000, we acquired Digital Transmission Equipment ("Digitrans").  Digitrans develops, markets and
sells digital equipment solutions that enable broadcasters, satellite operators and cable television system operators to optimize
network services. We issued 394,329 shares of our common stock.  The purchase price was estimated to be approximately $17,100,000
based on the fair market value of Terayon's common stock on the days immediately preceding and following the date the acquisition was
announced.  In addition, as a result of certain conditions stipulated in the Agreement with regards with the Company's common stock,
the company will issue 363,349 additional shares of common stock to the former owner  of Digitrans.

The above acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, this Report on Form   10-Q
presents our financial results through the entire period and combined results with Telegate, ANE, Combox, Internet Telecom,
Ultracom, Mainsail and Digitrans for the portion of the period following date of the respective closings.  Our financial results
through the entire period include the results of the acquisitions we completed in 1999. As a result, the information contained herein
may not be comparable to results in previous quarters. (See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)



Three and Nine Months Ended September  30, 2000 and 1999

Revenues.  Revenues consist primarily of sales of broadband access systems to new and existing customers providing
broadband access services over cable and copper wire infrastructures.  Our revenues increased to $125.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 from $23.4 million for the same period in 1999. Our revenues increased to $276.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 from $58.3 million for the same period last year. The increased revenues in 2000 were largely attributable
to continuing deployments of our TeraComm system by new and existing customers. In addition, sales of acquired products accounted for
approximately $27.1 million of the increased revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2000 and $54.7 million of the increased
revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

We sell our products directly to broadband access service providers, system resellers and distributors.  Revenues related to
product sales are generally recognized when the products are shipped to the customer, the point at which title passes. A provision is
made for estimated product returns as product shipments are made. Our existing agreements with our system resellers and distributors
do not contain price protection provisions and do not grant return rights beyond those provided by our standard warranty.  A
significant portion of the three months ended September 30, 2000 revenues occurred in the final month of the quarter.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold consists of direct product costs as well as the cost of our manufacturing
operations group.  The cost of the manufacturing operations group includes assembly, test and quality assurance for products,
warranty costs and associated costs of personnel and equipment. In the three months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred cost of
goods sold of $91.1 million compared to $17.0 million for same period in 1999. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 included the cost of our manufacturing operations group and approximately $9.3 million of amortization of acquired
intangibles assets. In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred cost of goods sold of approximately $201.6 million
compared to $46.2 million for the same period in 1999.  Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included the
cost of our manufacturing operations group and approximately $24.1 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets. Our cost of
goods sold increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999, primarily due to
increased product shipments and the inclusion of the amortization expense relating to acquired intangible assets.

Gross Profit.  We achieved a gross profit of $34.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
$6.4 million for the same period in 1999. In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we achieved a gross profit of $75.1 million
compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 1999. This improvement in our gross profit was largely the result of increased
product shipments and continued cost reduction efforts. We intend to continue to engage in and implement cost reduction efforts,
including the further integration of ASIC components, other design changes and manufacturing efficiencies.  We anticipate that
continued decreases in the average sales price of our products will partially, if not completely, offset the benefits obtained from
further cost reductions.

Our gross profit also is influenced by the sales mix of TeraLink Master Controllers, TeraLink Gateways and TeraPro cable modems
and the maturity of TeraComm system deployments in any quarter.  TeraPro cable modems have lower margins than the TeraLink Master
Controllers and TeraLink Gateway headend products. New deployments of TeraComm systems typically include a higher mix of headend
equipment and involve smaller quantities of product sold.  Products sold in connection with new deployments thus generally are sold
at higher margins than products associated with more mature deployments of the TeraComm system, which generally involve larger
quantities of products, primarily cable modems. We expect that the introduction of new customers and the relationship of revenues
generated from the sale of TeraPro cable modems to our overall revenues will result in fluctuations in our gross profit in future
periods.



We introduced a CableLabs certified DOSCIS 1.0 cable modem in third quarter of 1999.  In October 2000, we received CableLabs
certification for our DOCSIS 1.0 CMTS headend controller.  We believe that the widespread adoption of industry standards will result
in further price pressure.  We anticipate that the relationship of revenues generated from the sale of our proprietary TeraComm
system versus a DOCSIS compliant system will result in fluctuations in our gross profit in future periods.  The impact on our gross
profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulting from the sale of our DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems and CMTS headend
controllers was not significant.

Our gross profit also is influenced by the level of sales of products of acquired companies, which produce varying gross
profit results. We expect that our gross profit will fluctuate in future periods as a result of these and other acquisitions.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, as well as designed
prototype material expenditures, equipment and supplies required to develop and to enhance our products. Research and development
expenses increased to $19.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $4.6 million in the same period of 1999. In the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, research and development expenses increased to $46.6 million compared to $11.7 million in the
same period in 1999. The increase in research and development expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
primarily the result of increased personnel costs.  The increased personnel costs were a result of the expansion of our own employee
base and the inclusion of employees from acquired companies as we continued to focus our efforts on developing new products.   We
intend to continue to increase investment in research and development as a result of these and other activities.

Cost of Product Development Assistance Agreement.  In March 1999, we entered into a one-year Product Development Assistance
Agreement with Rogers Communications Inc. Under the terms of the Development Agreement, Rogers was obligated to assist us with the
characterization and testing of our subscriber-end and head-end voice-over-cable equipment.  In addition, Rogers  was  obligated to
provide us with technology to assist us with our efforts to develop high quality, field proven technology solutions that are DOCSIS-
compliant and packet cable-compliant.  The Development Agreement had a term of one year.  In consideration of Rogers entering into
the Development Agreement, we issued Rogers two fully vested and non-forfeitable warrants, each to purchase 2.0 million shares of
common stock on a cashless basis.  One warrant had an exercise price of $0.50 per share and one warrant had an exercise price of
$18.50 per share.  The fair value of the two warrants was approximately $45.0 million and resulted in a non-cash charge included in
operations over the one-year term of the Development Agreement.   As a result of the Development Agreement, our results for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 include a non-cash charge of  $9.6 million compared to $24.0 million for the same period in 1999. In
March 2000, Rogers purchased 3,687,618 shares of our common stock on a net exercise basis, resulting in no proceeds to us.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions for sales personnel,
marketing and support personnel, and costs related to trade shows, consulting and travel.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to
$13.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $3.2 million for the same period in 1999. In the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, sales and marketing expenses increased to $31.6 million from $9.1 million in the same period in 1999. The
increase in sales and marketing expenses was due to increased payroll costs related to additional sales and support personnel
necessary to support the expansion of our customer base, increased payroll and associated costs from the expansion in our employee
base resulting from acquired companies and increased commissions related to higher sales. We expect sales and marketing expenses to
continue to increase as we expand our customer base.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salary and benefits for
administrative officers and support personnel, travel expenses, legal, accounting and consulting fees. General and administrative
expenses increased to $8.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $2.0 million in the same period of 1999. In the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, general and administrative expenses increased to $18.0 million from $4.7 million in the same
period in 1999. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the increased infrastructure required to support our expanded
activities and increased personnel costs associated with acquired companies. We expect general and administrative expenses will
continue to increase in the near term as a result of these factors.

In-Process Research and Development.  We incurred charges of $5.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000
related to research and development projects in process at Mainsail at the time of the acquisition. In the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, we incurred charges of $24.8 million related to research and development projects in process at Telegate, ANE,
Combox, Internet Telecom, Ultracom, Mainsail and Digitrans at the time of the acquisitions.  Because of the risks involved in
developing technology, we cannot guaranty the successful completion of these development projects.

Goodwill Amortization.The Imedia acquisition was completed in September, 1999 and was accounted for as a purchase
transaction.  The total purchase price, representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition
costs, was approximately $109.0 million. The purchase price was allocated (based on an independent appraisal) between the net
tangible assets of Imedia on the date of acquisition (approximately $645,000), in-process research and development (approximately
$11.0 million) and intangible assets acquired (approximately $97.3 million).  Intangible assets consist of developed technology
(approximately $27.0 million), assembled workforce (approximately $2.5 million), trademark (approximately $4.0 million) and goodwill
(approximately $63.8 million).  The intangible assets will be amortized straight line over lives ranging from two to six years.  The
amortization of developed technology will impact cost of goods sold in future periods.  The amortization of the other intangibles
will principally impact operating expenses in future periods.

The Radwiz acquisition was completed in November, 1999 and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The total purchase price,
representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $53.6 million. The
purchase price was allocated between the net tangible assets of Radwiz on the date of acquisition (approximately $3.1 million), in-
process research and development (approximately $3.6 million) and net intangible assets acquired (approximately $46.9 million).
Intangible assets consist of developed technology (approximately $29.9 million), assembled workforce (approximately $2.8 million),
trademark (approximately $1.1 million) and goodwill (approximately $24.1 million). Goodwill has been increased and deferred tax
liabilities have been recorded in the amount of approximately $11.0 million to reflect the net tax effect of the book/tax basis
differences in the acquired intangibles, excluding goodwill and in-process research and development. Deferred tax assets have been
realized based on the projected reversal of taxable temporary differences and have been netted against deferred tax liabilities for
purposes of allocating the purchase price. The intangible assets will be amortized straight line over lives ranging from two to six
years.  The amortization of developed technology will impact cost of goods sold in future periods.  The amortization of the other
intangibles will principally impact operating expenses in future periods.

The Telegate acquisition was completed in January, 2000 and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The total purchase
price, representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $140.0
million. The purchase price was allocated between the net tangible assets of Telegate on the date of acquisition (approximately $6.8
million), in-process research and development (approximately $6.8 million) and intangible assets acquired (approximately $126.4
million).  Intangible assets consist of developed technology (approximately $21.1 million), customer relationship (approximately
$34.6 million) assembled workforce (approximately $4.2 million), and goodwill (approximately $72.5 million).  Goodwill has been
increased and deferred tax liabilities have been recorded in the amount of approximately $6.0 million to reflect the net tax effect
of the book/tax basis differences in the acquired intangibles, excluding goodwill and in-process research and development. Deferred
tax assets have been realized based on the projected reversal of taxable temporary differences and have been netted against deferred
tax liabilities for purposes of allocating the purchase price. The intangible assets will be amortized straight line over lives
ranging from two to six years.  The amortization of developed technology and customer relationship will impact cost of goods sold in
future periods.  The amortization of the other intangibles will principally impact operating expenses in future periods.

The ANE acquisition was completed in April, 2000 and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The total purchase price,
representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $85.5 million. The
purchase price was allocated between the net tangible assets acquired of ANE on the date of acquisition (approximately $14.1
million), in-process research and development (approximately $735,000) and intangible assets acquired (approximately $70.6 million).
Intangible assets consist of developed technology (approximately $12.6 million), assembled workforce (approximately $12.2 million),
customer base (approximately $2.4 million), trademark (approximately $600,000) and goodwill (approximately $42.8 million).  The
intangible assets will be amortized straight line over lives ranging from two to five years.  The amortization of developed
technology and customer base will impact cost of goods sold in future periods.  The amortization of the other intangibles will
principally impact operating expenses in future periods.

The Combox acquisition was completed in April, 2000 and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The total purchase price,
representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $98.2 million. The
purchase price was allocated between the net tangible assets of Combox on the date of acquisition (approximately $2.3 million), in-
process research and development (approximately $8.0 million) and intangible assets acquired (approximately $87.9 million).
Intangible assets consist of developed technology (approximately $12.5 million), assembled workforce (approximately $1.1 million),
and goodwill (approximately $79.2 million).  Goodwill has been increased and deferred tax liabilities have been recorded in the
amount of approximately $4.9 million to reflect the net tax effect of the book/tax basis differences in the acquired intangibles,
excluding goodwill and in-process research and development. Deferred tax assets have been realized based on the projected reversal of
taxable temporary differences and have been netted against deferred tax liabilities for purposes of allocating the purchase price.
The intangible assets will be amortized straight line over lives ranging from two to five years.  The amortization of developed
technology will impact cost of goods sold in future periods.  The amortization of the other intangibles will principally impact
operating expenses in future periods.

The Internet Telecom acquisition was completed in April, 2000 and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The total purchase
price, representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $48.4
million. The purchase price was allocated between in-process research and development (approximately $2.5 million) and intangible
assets acquired (approximately $45.9 million).  Intangible assets consist of developed technology (approximately $6.0 million),
assembled workforce (approximately $500,000), and goodwill (approximately $39.4 million).  The intangible assets will be amortized
straight line over lives ranging from two to five years.  The amortization of developed technology will impact cost of goods sold in
future periods.  The amortization of the other intangibles will principally impact operating expenses in future periods.

The Ultracom acquisition was completed in April, 2000 and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The total purchase price,
representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $52.8 million. The
purchase price was allocated between the net tangible assets of Ultracom on the date of acquisition (approximately $1.1 million), in-
process research and development (approximately $1.8 million) and intangible assets acquired (approximately $49.9 million).
Intangible assets consist of developed technology (approximately $1.1 million), assembled workforce (approximately $1.1 million), and
goodwill (approximately $48.5 million).  Goodwill has been increased and deferred tax liabilities have been recorded in the amount of
approximately $774,000 to reflect the net tax effect of the book/tax basis differences in the acquired intangibles, excluding
goodwill and in-process research and development. Deferred tax assets have been realized based on the projected reversal of taxable
temporary differences and have been netted against deferred tax liabilities for purposes of allocating the purchase price. The
intangible assets will be amortized straight line over lives ranging from two to five years.  The amortization of developed
technology will impact cost of goods sold in future periods.  The amortization of the other intangibles will principally impact
operating expenses in future periods.

The Mainsail acquisition was completed on September 29, 2000 and was accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The total purchase
price, representing the fair value of our shares issued and transaction and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $147.2
million. The purchase price was allocated between the net tangible assets of Mainsail on the date of acquisition (approximately
($15,000)), in-process research and development (approximately $5.0 million) and intangible assets acquired (approximately $142.2
million).  Intangible assets consist of developed technology (approximately $49.0 million), assembled workforce (approximately $2.8
million), and goodwill (approximately $90.4 million). The intangible assets will be amortized straight line over lives ranging from
two to five years.  The amortization of developed technology will impact cost of goods sold in future periods.  The amortization of
the other intangibles will principally impact operating expenses in future periods.  Deferred compensation (approximately $22,5
million) will be amortized over the option-vesting period.

The Digital Transmission Equipment ("Digitrans") acquisition was completed on September 27, 2000 and was accounted for
as a purchase transaction.  The purchase price was estimated to be approximately $17.0 million based on the fair market value of
Terayon's common stock on the days immediately preceding and following the date the acquisition was announced. The purchase price was
preliminarily allocated to goodwill at September 30, 2000, pending the completion of certain valuation analyses.  The Company
anticipates that a significant portion of the purchase price will be allocated to intangible assets, including goodwill, upon
completion of the valuation analyses.

We expect amortization of goodwill and other intangibles related to acquisitions to increase in future periods.

Interest Income and Expense.

Income Taxes.  We have not generated net income to date and therefore we have not incurred or accrued any income taxes
since our inception.

Operating Segment Information

During the second quarter of 2000, we realigned our internal organization as a result of acquisitions completed during and
subsequent to the fourth quarter of 1999. We view our business as having two principal operating segments:  Cable Broadband Access
Systems ("Cable") and DSL Access Systems ("DSL"). The Cable segment consists primarily of the TeraComm system,
the CherryPicker Digital Video Management Systems, and the Multigate Telephony and Data Access Systems which are sold primarily to
cable operators for the deployment of data, video and voice services over the existing cable infrastructure.  The DSL segment
consists primarily of the Miniplex DSL Systems, the IPTL Converged Voice and Data Service System and the Highlink, which are sold to
providers of broadband services for the deployment of voice and data services over the existing copper wire infrastructure. Our other
operating segments are below the quantitative threshold defined by SFAS 131. We sell directly to providers of broadband access
services and to distributors and resellers throughout the world.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, we operated
in one segment, the sale of cable broadband access systems.

Cable.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the increased revenues for the cable segment were largely
attributable to continuing deployments of our TeraComm system by new and existing customers.  In addition, sales of acquired products
contributed to the increase revenues.  Operating income also increased as a result of these factors as well as continuing product
cost reduction efforts.

DSL.    Revenues and operating losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 were attributable to the
operations of Radwiz, acquired in November 1999, and ANE, acquired in April 2000.

Litigation

In April 2000, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors (collectively the
defendants), entitled Birnbaum v. Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. The lawsuit originally was filed in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California, and subsequently the venue for the lawsuit has been moved to the Northern District of
California. The plaintiff purports to be suing on behalf of a class of stockholders who purchased or obligated themselves to purchase
the Company's securities during the period from February 2, 2000 to April 11, 2000. The complaint alleges that the Company and the
other defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements and failing to disclose
material information regarding the Company's technology. Several other lawsuits similar to the Birnbaum suit have since been filed.
The lawsuits seek an unspecified amount of damages, in addition to other forms of relief. On August 24, 2000, the lawsuits against
the Company and other named individual defendants were consolidated in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California
and lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs' counsel were appointed pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. On
September 21, 2000, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws.  The
consolidated complaint contains allegations nearly identical to the Birnbaum suit.  On October 30,2000, the Company filed a motion to
dismiss the consolidated complaint.  The Company considers the lawsuits to be without merit and intends to defend vigorously against
these allegations. However, the litigation could prove to be costly and time consuming to defend, and there can be no guarantees
about the eventual outcome.

In September 1999, Imedia Corporation, now our subsidiary, was named as a defendant in a case entitled  Evergreen Canada Israel
Management, Ltd. v. Imedia Corporation., alleging that Imedia breached its term sheet agreement with the plaintiffs by negotiating
with us while a no shop provision was in place and refusing to allowing the plaintiffs to invest in Imedia.  The plaintiffs are
seeking damages in excess of $12.0 million.  As part of the terms of the Imedia Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization,
shares of our common stock to be issued to the former shareholders of Imedia were placed in escrow to indemnify us for any damages
that are directly or indirectly suffered as a result any claim brought by any person who was a prospective investor in Imedia and was
not a security holder of Imedia on the closing date of the Imedia acquisition.  The value of the escrowed shares was approximately
$10.0 million based on the market value of our common stock on the closing date.

In October 2000, the Company received an amended complaint ("Complaint") in this matter.  The Complaint alleges
"Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage" against the Company, claiming that the Company "formed
and operated a conspiracy to deprive plaintiffs of the opportunity to invest in Imedia".  Plaintiffs argue that, prior to the
Company's purchase of the Imedia shares, the Company knew of an alleged, pre-existing financing agreement between plaintiffs and
Imedia that contained a "no shop" clause, prohibiting Imedia from seeking or obtaining financing from any other sources,
including (apparently, in plaintiffs' view) a prohibition against Imedia selling it own stock.  The case is in its initial stages.
We have reviewed the allegations made by the plaintiffs and we do not believe that the outcome will have a negative impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  However, the litigation could prove to be costly and time consuming to
defend, and there can be no assurances about the eventual outcome.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2000, we had approximately $229.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $357.7 million in short-term
investments and a $2.5 million revolving line of credit. There were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit and
approximately $2.5 million was available.

In July 2000, we issued $500 million of 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes  due in August 2007 (the "Convertible Notes")
resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $484.5 million. In addition, we have granted the initial purchasers, Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. and Lehman Brothers, Inc., an option, exercisable for thirty days, to purchase up to an additional $75.0 million
aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, on the same terms and conditions as the original Convertible Notes.  This option was
not exercised by either purchaser.  The Convertible Notes are our general unsecured obligation and are subordinated in right of
payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries. The Convertible
Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $84.01 per share at any time on or after October 24,
2000 through maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased.  We may redeem some or all of the Convertible Notes at any time on
or after October 24, 2000 and before August 7, 2003 at a redemption price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible
Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if the closing price of our stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price, or $126.01
for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of mailing of
the redemption notice.  We will also make an additional payment of $193.55 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, less the
amount of any interest actually paid on the Convertible Notes before the date of redemption. We may redeem the Notes at any time on
or after August 7, 2003 at specified prices plus accrued and unpaid interest.  Interest is payable semiannually.  Debt issuance costs
related to the Convertible Notes are estimated at $15.5 million.

Cash used by operating activities in the first nine months of 2000 was $5.8 million compared to $4.9 million in the first nine
months of 1999.  Cash used by investing activities was $294.1 million in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $73.0 million in
the first nine months of 1999.  Investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase and sale of short-term investments in 2000
and 1999.  Cash provided by financing activities was $497.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $87.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  In 2000, financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the
issuance of our convertible subordinated notes as well as proceeds from the exercise of options and the issuance of common stock . In
1999, financing activities consisted primarily of the sale and issuance of common stock in a public offering.

As of September 30, 2000, we had approximately $300.1 million of unconditional purchase obligations. We anticipate that we
will pay approximately $175.5million of these obligations by December 31,
2000. We intend to make these payments out of available working capital.

We believe that our current cash balances will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Recent Financial Accounting Pronouncements

In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 provides a comprehensive and consistent standard
for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. FAS 133 was effective for fiscal years beginning after
September 15, 1999. In July 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133" (FAS 137).  FAS 137 defers for one year the effective date of FAS 133 which will now apply to all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We believe that the adoption of  FAS 133 will not have a significant impact on our
operating results or cash flows.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101").  SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of
revenue in the financial statements of public companies.  SAB 101B delayed the effective date of SAB 101 until no later than the
fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999, (the fourth quarter of 2000 for us).  For companies adopting
SAB 101 subsequent to the first quarter, financial information for prior quarters would be restated with cumulative effect adjustment
reflected in the first quarter in accordance with FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements." In subsequent periods, registrants should disclose the amount of revenue, if material, recognized in those periods
that were included in the cumulative effect adjustment. We currently cannot determine the effect, if any, that SAB 101 will have on
our financial statements.

In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.44 ("FIN 44"), "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25".  FIN 44 is intended to clarify the application of APB Opinion No.
25 by providing guidance regarding among other issues: the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the
criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting consequence of various modifications to
the terms of the previously fixed stock options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a
business combination.  FIN 44 was effective July 1, 2000.  The adoption of FIN 44 did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.



RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We Have a Limited Operating History and a History of Losses.

We have a limited operating history, and it is difficult to predict our future operating results. We began shipping products
commercially in June 1997, and we only have been shipping products in volume since the first quarter of 1998. As of September 30,
2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $237.6 million. We believe that we will continue to experience net losses for the foreseeable
future. Most of our expenses are fixed in advance, and we generally are unable to reduce our expenses significantly in the short term
to compensate for any unexpected delay or decrease in anticipated revenues. We expect to continue to increase expenses for the
foreseeable future to support increased sales and marketing and technical support costs. Any significant delay in our anticipated
revenues or commercialization of new products would harm our business. The revenue and profit potential of our business and our
industry are unproven. We had negative gross margins from our inception until the fourth quarter of 1998, and any future revenue
growth may not result in positive gross margins or operating profits in future periods.

Our Operating Results May Fluctuate.

Our quarterly revenues are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a number of factors, many of which are outside
our control. Factors that could affect our revenues include the following:

- variations in the timing of orders and shipments of our products;

- variations in the size of the orders by our customers;

- new product introductions by competitors;

- delays in our introduction of new products;

- delays in our receipt of orders forecasted by our customers;

- delays by our customers in the completion of upgrades to their cable infrastructure;

- variations in capital spending budgets of broadband access service providers;

- adoption of industry standards and the inclusion in or compatibility of our technology with any such standards; and

- delays in obtaining regulatory approval for commercial deployment of cable modem systems.



Our expenses generally will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the level of actual and anticipated business activities.
Research and development expenses will vary as we begin development of new products and as our development programs move to wafer
fabrication and prototype development, which results in higher engineering expenses.



A variety of factors affect our gross margin, including the following:

- the sales mix of our products;

- the volume of products manufactured;

- the type of distribution channel through which we sell our products;

- the average selling prices or "ASPs" of our products; and

- the effectiveness of our cost reduction measures.



We anticipate that unit ASPs of our products will decline in the future. This could cause a decrease in the gross margins for
these products. In addition, the maturity of TeraComm system deployments affects our gross margin. New deployments of the  TeraComm
system involve the sale of headend equipment (which has higher margins) and generally involve smaller quantities  of product. New
deployments typically are sold at higher margins than the larger volume sales of product associated with more mature deployments of
the TeraComm system. The sales mix of TeraLink 1000 Master Controllers, TeraLink Gateways and TeraPro cable modems also affects our
gross margin. The TeraPro cable modems have significantly lower margins than the TeraLink 1000 Master Controller and TeraLink Gateway
headend products. We expect to achieve significantly lower margins on the TeraPro cable modems for the foreseeable future. Further,
we expect that sales of TeraPro cable modems will continue to constitute a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable
future.



We also anticipate that our operating results will be impacted by sales, gross profit and operating expenses of acquired
companies. The impact of these factors on our operating results will vary as we acquire additional companies.

We Are Dependent on a Small Number of Customers.

Three customers (two of which are related parties) accounted for approximately 50% of our revenues for the quarter ended September
30, 2000 and four customers (two of which are related parties) accounted for approximately 75% of our revenues for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. We believe that a substantial majority of our revenues will continue to be derived from sales to a relatively
small number of customers for the foreseeable future. In addition, we believe that sales to these customers will be focused on a
limited number of projects.







Acquisitions Could Result In Dilution, Operating Difficulties and Other Harmful Consequences.

We have acquired nine businesses since September 1999: Imedia Corporation in September 1999; Radwiz in November 1999; Telegate in
January 2000; ANE in April 2000; ComBox in April 2000; some assets of Internet Telecom in April 2000; Ultracom in April 2000;
Mainsail in September 2000; and Digitrans in September 2000.  If appropriate opportunities present themselves, we intend to acquire
additional businesses, technologies, services or products that we believe are strategic. The process of integrating any acquired
business into our business and operations is risky and may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas in
which we may face difficulties include:

- diversion of management time (both ours and that of the acquired companies) during the period of negotiation through closing and
after closing from the ongoing development of our businesses, issues of integration and future products;

- decline in employee morale and retention issues resulting from changes in compensation, reporting relationships, future prospects
or the direction of the business;



- the need to integrate each company's accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems to
permit effective management, and the lack of control if this integration is delayed or not implemented; and

- the need to implement controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a larger public group of companies that prior to
acquisition had been smaller, private companies.



We have very limited experience in managing this integration process. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any or all of these
completed or pending acquisitions may not be realized.

Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of additional debt,
contingent liabilities or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could harm our
business. Future acquisitions also could require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on
favorable terms or at all. Even if available, this financing may be dilutive.

The Sales Cycle for Our Products Is Lengthy.

The sales cycle associated with our products typically is lengthy, often lasting six months to a year. Our customers typically
conduct significant technical evaluations of competing technologies prior to the commitment of capital and other resources. In
addition, purchasing decisions may be delayed because of our customers' internal budget approval procedures. Sales also generally are
subject to customer trials, which typically last three months. Because of the lengthy sales cycle and the large size of customers'
orders, if orders forecasted for a specific customer for a particular quarter do not occur in that quarter, our operating results for
that quarter could suffer.

There are Many Risks Associated with Our Participation in the Establishment of Advanced Physical Layer specifications to be
added to DOCSIS.

In November 1998, CableLabs selected us to co-author DOCSIS 1.2 (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications), an
enhanced version of the DOCSIS cable modem specification based in part on our S-CDMA technology. In September 1999, CableLabs
indicated that it intended to proceed with the advanced physical layer, or PHY, work on two parallel tracks: one for the development
of a prototype based on our S-CDMA technology and one for the inclusion of Advanced TDMA technology (Time Division Multiple Access),
as proposed by other companies. In February 2000, CableLabs further clarified the status of the advanced PHY project regarding a
separate release that will include TDMA technologies. In addition, CableLabs reiterated that it is continuing to work with us on the
development of a DOCSIS specification that could include our S-CDMA technology. To that end, CableLabs has requested that we submit a
prototype of a DOCSIS system that incorporates an S-CDMA advanced PHY capability for testing. CableLabs has stated that if the
testing of this prototype reveals that the S-CDMA advanced PHY works as claimed (including proper backwards compatibility and
coexistence with the other aspects of DOCSIS), and if the costs for adding S-CDMA to DOCSIS products are in line with estimates, then
it is likely, but not certain, that S-CDMA advanced PHY capabilities will be included in a future version of the DOCSIS
specification. The prototype we submit to CableLabs may fail to demonstrate the level of performance that CableLabs seeks.  Even if
it does meet performance expectations there can be no guarantee that CableLabs will incorporate the technology into a future version
of DOCSIS specifications. In addition, if CableLabs does proceed to include S-CDMA in a future DOCSIS specification, we cannot
guarantee that the DOCSIS S-CDMA specification will be the same as the specification we incorporated in the prototype submitted for
tests.  This may require us to further develop our prototype.





We have already given CableLabs assurances that we will contribute some aspects of our proprietary S-CDMA technology to a royalty-
free intellectual property pool, if S-CDMA is included in a future version of DOCSIS specifications. This royalty-free pool has been
established by CableLabs to facilitate the participation of as many vendors as possible in providing equipment that is compatible
with the DOCSIS specifications. As a result, any of our competitors who join the DOCSIS intellectual property pool would have access
to some aspects of our technology and would not be required to pay us any royalties or other compensation. If a competitor is able to
duplicate the functionality and capabilities of our technology, we could lose some or all of the time-to-market advantage we might
otherwise have, which could harm our future revenues and operating results.









We Need to Develop New Products in Order to Remain Competitive.

Our future success will depend in part on our ability to develop, introduce and market new products in a timely manner. We also
must respond to competitive pressures, evolving industry standards and technological advances. Our current S-CDMA products are not
DOCSIS-compliant. We are currently developing a prototype of a DOCSIS system that incorporates an S-CDMA advanced PHY capability for
testing and eventual inclusion in the DOCSIS standard. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in developing the prototype
or that the prototype, if successfully developed, will be introduced in a timely manner or will be included in a future release of
the DOCSIS standard. We anticipate that during 2000, existing or potential customers may delay purchases of our TeraComm system in
order to purchase systems that comply with the DOCSIS standard. In addition, potential new customers could decide to purchase DOCSIS-
compliant products from one or more of our competitors rather than from us. As a result, our product sales in the second half of 2000
may be lower than we anticipate. In order to promote sales of our currents products we may be required to reduce our prices for sales
to existing customers. This would harm our operating results and gross margin.



As a result of the inclusion of TDMA technology in the new DOCSIS version announced by CableLabs in February 2000, we will have to
incorporate advanced TDMA technology into our DOCSIS-compliant products. If we are unable to do this effectively, or in a timely
manner, we will lose some or all of the time-to- market advantage we might otherwise have had.



Our future success will also depend on our ability to develop and market products for broadband applications
over DSL and wireless networks. The markets for these broadband applications are also subject to evolving standards, such as NEBS
compliance in the North American DSL market, and technological advances in these arenas. There is no guarantee that we will be
successful in developing products that are compliant with these standards or that we will be successful in keeping pace with future
technological advances in this arena.

Average Selling Prices of Broadband Access Equipment Typically Decrease.

The broadband access systems market has been characterized by erosion of average selling prices. We expect this to continue. This
erosion is due to a number of factors, including competition, rapid technological change and price performance enhancements. The ASPs
for our products may be lower than expected as a result of competitive pricing pressures, our promotional programs and customers who
negotiate price reductions in exchange for longer-term purchase commitments. We anticipate that ASPs and gross margins for our
products will decrease over product life cycles. In addition, we believe that the widespread adoption of industry standards is likely
to further erode ASPs, particularly for cable modems and other similar consumer premise equipment. It is likely that the widespread
adoption of industry standards will result in increased retail distribution of cable modems and other similar consumer premise
equipment, which could put further price pressure on our products. Decreasing ASPs could result in decreased revenue even if the
number of units sold increases. As a result, we may experience substantial period-to- period fluctuations in future operating results
due to ASP erosion. Therefore, we must continue to develop and introduce on a timely basis next-generation products with enhanced
functionalities that can be sold at higher gross margins. Our failure to do this could cause our revenues and gross margin to
decline.

We Must Achieve Cost Reductions.

Certain of our competitors currently offer products at prices lower than ours. Market acceptance of our products will depend
in part on reductions in the unit cost of our products. We expect that as headend equipment becomes more widely deployed, the price
of cable modems and other similar consumer premise equipment will decline. In particular, we believe that the widespread adoption of
industry standards such as DOCSIS will cause increased price competition for consumer premise equipment. However, we may be unable to
reduce the cost of our products sufficiently to enable us to compete with other suppliers. Our cost reduction efforts may not allow
us to keep pace with competitive pricing pressures or lead to gross margin improvement.



Some of our competitors are larger and manufacture products in significantly greater quantities than we intend
to for the foreseeable future. Consequently, these competitors have more leverage in obtaining favorable pricing from suppliers and
manufacturers. In order to remain competitive, we must significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing our cable modems through design
and engineering changes. We may not be successful in redesigning our products. Even if we are successful, our redesign may be delayed
or may contain significant errors and product defects. In addition, any redesign may not result in sufficient cost reductions to
allow us to significantly reduce the list price of our products or improve our gross margin. Reductions in our manufacturing costs
will require us to use more highly integrated components in future products and may require us to enter into high volume or long-term
purchase or manufacturing agreements. Volume purchase or manufacturing agreements may not be available on acceptable terms. We could
incur expenses without related revenues if we enter into a high volume or long-term purchase or manufacturing agreement and then
decide that we cannot use the products or services offered by such agreement.

Shortages in Supplies of Components May Impair Our Ability to Meet Customer Demands.

Due to increasing demand for electronic and communications equipment, the worldwide market for component parts is currently
constrained. Delays in key component or product deliveries may occur due to shortages resulting from a limited number of suppliers,
financial or other difficulties of such suppliers or limitations in component product availability. Due to these current market
conditions, we face the risk of possible shortages of certain key components that could result in product performance shortfalls and
reduced control over or delay in delivery schedules, manufacturing capability, quality and costs, all of which could impair our
ability to produce enough products to meet our customer demand. In addition, in order to fulfill demand for our products, we may have
to purchase these components on the spot market at a price that may be higher than we have experienced in the past.

Although we work closely with our suppliers to avoid these types of shortages, there can be no assurance that we will not
encounter these problems in the future. While our suppliers have performed effectively and been relatively flexible to date, we
believe that we will be faced with the following challenges going forward:

- New markets in which we participate may grow quickly and consume component capacity; and

- As we continue to acquire companies and new technologies, we are dependent, at least initially, on unfamiliar supply chains or
relatively small supply partners.

Manufacturing capacity and component supply constraints could be significant issues for us. If we were unable to obtain
adequate quantities of component materials on a timely basis, our business and our customer relationships would be adversely
affected. If we are unable to satisfy our customers' demand, our customers could decide to purchase products from our competitors.
Inability to meet demand, or a decision by one or more of our customers to purchase from our competitors, could harm our operating
results.

We Face Many Other Risks.



Also inherent in our business are additional risks, which include but are not limited to the following:

- rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in end-user requirements and frequent new product introductions
and enhancements;

- acceptance of broadband access services by service providers and end users of broadband access services;

- our ability to develop additional distribution channels;

- our ability to convince providers of broadband access services to accept our technologies, purchase our products and effectively
market our product to end users;

- the magnitude and timing of capital spending by cable operators for implementation of access systems for data transmission over
cable networks;

- our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products;

- our dependence on key suppliers;

- our dependence on the manufacturing capabilities of our contract manufacturers to assemble and test our products;

- our ability to develop products that utilize new semiconductor process technologies;

- the risks associated with our international business activities, which account for a substantial portion of our total revenues;

- our ability to provide adequate customer support;

- the highly competitive nature of the market for broadband access systems and the existence of many established competitors;

- our dependence on the Internet and the development of the Internet infrastructure;

- our ability to manage growth;

- the sufficiency of cash resources and our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, if required;

- our dependence on key personnel;

- the risks of product returns, product liability and product defects;

- our ability to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights;

- communications industry and other regulatory approvals; and,

- our vulnerability to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risk disclosures set forth in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 have not
changed significantly.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In September 1999, Imedia Corporation, now our subsidiary, was named as a defendant in a case entitled  Evergreen Canada Israel
Management, Ltd. v. Imedia Corporation., alleging that Imedia breached its term sheet agreement with the plaintiffs by negotiating
with us while a no shop provision was in place and refusing to allowing the plaintiffs to invest in Imedia.  The plaintiffs are
seeking damages in excess of $12.0 million.  As part of the terms of the Imedia Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization,
shares of our common stock to be issued to the former shareholders of Imedia were placed in escrow to indemnify us for any damages
that are directly or indirectly suffered as a result any claim brought by any person who was a prospective investor in Imedia and was
not a security holder of Imedia on the closing date of the Imedia acquisition.  The value of the escrowed shares was approximately
$10.0 million based on the market value of our common stock on the closing date.

In October 2000, the Company received an amended complaint ("Complaint") in this matter.  The Complaint alleges
"Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage" against the Company, claiming that the Company "formed
and operated a conspiracy to deprive plaintiffs of the opportunity to invest in Imedia".  Plaintiffs argue that, prior to the
Company's purchase of the Imedia shares, the Company knew of an alleged, pre-existing financing agreement between plaintiffs and
Imedia that contained a "no shop" clause, prohibiting Imedia from seeking or obtaining financing from any other sources,
including (apparently, in plaintiffs' view) a prohibition against Imedia selling it own stock.  The case is in its initial stages.
We have reviewed the allegations made by the plaintiffs and we do not believe that the outcome will have a negative impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  However, the litigation could prove to be costly and time consuming to
defend, and there can be no assurances about the eventual outcome.

In April 2000, a lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our officers and directors (collectively the defendants),
entitled Birnbaum v. Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. The lawsuit originally was filed in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California, and subsequently the venue for the lawsuit has been moved to the Northern District of California. The
plaintiff purports to be suing on behalf of a class of stockholders who purchased or obligated themselves to purchase our securities
during the period from February 2, 2000 to April 11, 2000. The complaint alleges that we and the other the defendants violated the
federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements and failing to disclose material information regarding
our technology. Several other lawsuits similar to the Birnbaum suit have since been filed. The lawsuits seek an unspecified amount of
damages, in addition to other forms of relief. On August 24, 2000, the lawsuits against us and other named individual defendants were
consolidated in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California and lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs' counsel was
appointed pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  On September 21, 2000, plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class
Action Complaint for violation of federal securities laws.  The consolidated complaint contains allegations nearly identical to the
Birnbaum suit.  We consider the lawsuits to be without merit and intend to defend vigorously against these allegations. However, the
litigation could prove to be costly and time consuming to defend, and there can be no assurances about the eventual outcome.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS



(c)  The Securities issued in connection with the acquisitions of Mainsail and Digitrans were  issued pursuant to Rule 506 of
Regulation D under the Securities Act.

The Convertible Notes were sold by the initial purchasers, Deutche Bank Securities, Inc. and Lehman Brothers, Inc., to a group of
"qualified institutional buyers" (as such term is used by Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance on the exemptions
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The
sale and issuance of these securities to the initial purchasers was exempt from the registration of the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
