                                     (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which,
in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial
information included therein.  While the Company believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Financial statements
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 have been restated to reflect
the acquisition of CompCore Multimedia, Inc. ("CompCore") in December 1996 which
was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Results for the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

3.  INCOME TAXES

    The provision for income taxes reflects the estimated annualized effective
tax rate applied to earnings for the interim periods.  The effective tax rate
differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to utilization of net operating losses
and State of Israel tax benefits on foreign earnings.  The provision includes
primarily taxes on income in excess of net operating loss carryover limitations
and foreign withholding taxes.


4.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common
equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and
warrants (using the treasury stock method).


5.  FAS 128 SAB 74 REQUIREMENTS

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  This Statement
is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and redefines earnings
per share under generally accepted accounting principles.  Under the new
standard, primary earnings per share is replaced by basic earnings per share and
fully diluted earnings per share is replaced by diluted earnings per share.  If
the Company had adopted this Statement for the periods ended June 30, 1997, the
Company's earnings per share would have been as follows:

                          Three Months Ended June 30,  Six Months Ended June 30,

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


   THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITH RESPECT 
TO THE COMPANY'S FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.  ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER 
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED DEPENDING UPON A VARIETY OF 
FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW UNDER THE SUB-HEADING, "FUTURE 
PERFORMANCE AND RISK FACTORS" AND DISCUSSED MORE FULLY IN THE COMPANY'S 
ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996.

OVERVIEW

    From the Company's inception in 1981 through 1991, the Company derived 
the substantial majority of its revenue from digital filter processors 
("DFPs") and vector signal processors ("VSPs") used principally in military, 
industrial and medical applications.  In 1989, the Company repositioned its 
business to develop and market data compression products for the evolving 
multimedia markets and discontinued development of DFP and VSP products.  In 
1994, the Company discontinued production of these products which are not 
expected to contribute significant revenues in future periods.  The Company's 
current lines of multimedia compression products include JPEG-based products 
used in video editing systems and filmless digital cameras, MPEG-based 
products used in video playback and Dolby Digital-based audio products used 
in movie and home theater systems and DVD players which have been recently 
introduced by several manufacturers.

    In December 1996, the Company acquired CompCore, a provider of 
software-based compression products and a designer of cores for video and 
audio decoder integrated circuits.  The Company issued approximately 2.0 
million shares of Zoran Common Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding 
Common Stock of CompCore.  The Company also assumed all outstanding options 
to purchase CompCore Common Stock which were exchanged for options to 
purchase approximately 900,000 shares of Zoran Common Stock.  The acquisition 
was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and the financial statements of 
the Company and the information herein have been restated to include the 
results of CompCore for all periods.

    Historically, average selling prices ("ASPs") in the semiconductor 
industry in general, and for the Company's products in particular, have 
decreased over the life of a particular product.  Although ASPs have 
fluctuated substantially from period to period, these fluctuations have been 
driven principally by changes in customer mix (original equipment 
manufacturer ("OEM") sales versus sales to distributors) and the transition 
from low-volume to high-volume production sales rather than by factors 
related to product life cycles.  During 1996 and 1997, the Company reduced 
its ASPs on certain products in order to better penetrate the consumer 
market. The Company believes that, as its product lines continue to mature 
and competitive markets evolve, it is likely to experience further declines 
in the ASPs of its products, although the timing and amount of such future 
changes cannot be predicted with any certainty.  There can be no assurance 
that costs will decrease at the same rate as such declines in ASPs, or at all.

    The Company sells its products, either directly or through distributors 
or independent sales representatives, to OEMs worldwide. Sales prices to 
distributors are generally lower than prices for direct sales, as 
distributors are responsible for certain sales and marketing expenses, 
maintenance of inventories and customer support and training.  Lower gross 
margins on sales to distributors are partially offset by reduced selling and 
marketing expenses related to such sales.  Product sales in Japan are 
primarily made through Fujifilm Microdevices Co., Ltd. ("Fujifilm"), the 
Company's strategic partner and distributor in Japan.  Fujifilm provides more 
sales and marketing support than Zoran's other distributors. 


                                       7

<PAGE>

    Zoran has historically generated a significant percentage of its total 
revenues from development contracts, primarily with key customers.  These 
development contracts have provided the Company with partial funding for the 
development of certain of its products.  Payments received by the Company 
under these development contracts are recorded as development revenue.  The 
Company classifies all development costs, including costs related to these 
development contracts, as research and development expenses.  The Company 
retains ownership of the intellectual property developed by it under these 
development contracts. While the Company intends to continue to enter into 
development contracts with certain strategic partners, it expects development 
revenue to decrease as a percentage of total revenues.

    The Company conducts a substantial portion of its research and 
development and certain sales and marketing and administrative operations in 
Israel through its wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary.  As a result, certain 
expenses are incurred in Israeli shekels.  Until May 1995, substantially all 
of the Company's product sales were made from the Company's U.S. facility.  
In May 1995,  the Company restructured its manufacturing and sales 
organizations and began selling a portion of its products directly from its 
facility in Israel.  To date, substantially all of the Company's revenues 
have been denominated in U.S. dollars and most costs of product sales have 
been incurred in U.S. dollars.  The Company expects that most of its revenues 
and costs of  product sales will continue to be denominated and incurred in 
U.S. dollars for the foreseeable future.  The Company has not experienced 
material losses or gains as a result of currency exchange rate fluctuations 
and has not engaged in hedging transactions to reduce its exposure to such 
fluctuations.  The Company intends to actively monitor its foreign exchange 
exposure and to take appropriate action to reduce its foreign exchange risk, 
if such risk becomes material.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

    Total revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 were 
$9.3 million and $19.3 million, respectively, a decrease of 16% and increase 
of 4% compared to the same periods in 1996.  Product sales of $6.2 million 
and $12.5 million for the current quarter and six months, respectively, 
decreased by 29% and 17%, respectively, compared to the same periods last 
year.  The decreases in product sales resulted from unit sales and revenue 
decreases for the Company's Dolby Digital audio compression ICs sold through 
Fujifilm due to delays in the development of the DVD market and uncertainty 
regarding the timing of volume production and shipment of DVD players.  These 
decreases were partially offset by unit sales and revenue increases for the 
Company's JPEG-based products used in desktop video editing and digital 
filmless cameras.  Software, licensing and development revenue of $3.0 
million and $6.8 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, 
respectively, increased by 32% and 94% compared to the same periods last year 
due to significant new development and licensing contracts and the higher 
unit volume of software and hardware products sold by the Company's customers.

    Customers comprising a significant portion of the Company's total revenue
for the respective periods were as follows:

                   Three Months Ended June 30,      Six Months Ended June 30,
                   ---------------------------      -------------------------
                       1997         1996               1997         1996
                       ----         ----               ----         ----
    A                   23%           4%                18%           3%
    B                   13%          38%                12%          28%
    C                    9%          15%                15%          21%
    D                   --            6%                --           11%



                                       8

PRODUCT GROSS PROFIT

    Product gross margin was 60% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, 
compared to 44% for the prior quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 39% for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Product gross margin was 52% for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997, compared to 42% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  
The increases for the current quarter and six months were due to a product 
sales mix that included an increased percentage of higher margin product, an 
increased percentage of products sold directly to OEM customers and lower 
manufacturing costs during the current quarter.  The Company's product gross 
margin is dependent on product mix and on the percentage of products sold 
directly to the Company's OEM customers versus indirectly through its 
marketing partners who purchase the Company's products at lower prices but 
absorb most of the associated marketing and sales support expenses.  The 
Company expects product and customer mix to continue to fluctuate in future 
quarters, causing further fluctuations in margins.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Research and development ("R&D") expenses of $3.2 million and $6.5 
million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, 
were 86% and 97% above the comparable periods in 1996.  The increases  were a 
result of the planned enhancement of the Company's technology and development 
capabilities in conjunction with the Company's growth in general and its 
increased software, licensing and development revenue.  R&D expenses during 
the current quarter and six month periods increased as a percentage of total 
revenues compared to the same periods last year due to the above factors and 
the decrease in product sales.  The Company continues to believe that 
significant investments in R&D are required for it to remain competitive, and 
anticipates that such expenses in terms of absolute dollars will increase in 
future periods, although such expenses as a percentage of total revenues may 
fluctuate.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

    Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased 19% from 
the second quarter of 1996 to $2.6 million for the current quarter and 
decreased slightly compared to last year as a percentage of total revenues.  
SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased slightly 
compared to last year in amount and as a percentage of total revenues.  The 
decrease for the current quarter was due primarily to certain expenses at 
non-recurring levels in the prior year and lower sales related expenses in 
the current quarter.  The Company expects that future SG&A expenses will 
increase in order to support the anticipated growth of the Company.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME, NET

    Net interest and other income of $350,000 and $628,000 for the quarter 
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, represented increases of 
18% and 16% compared to the same periods last year.  The increase resulted 
primarily from decreased interest expense as a result of the repayment of the 
Company's remaining debt during 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    The Company's estimated effective tax rate increased to 25% for the 
current year from 11% last year.  The increase was primarily due to taxes on 
income in excess of the net operating loss carryover limitation and foreign 
withholding taxes. 


                                       9

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Net proceeds from the initial public offering of the Company's Common 
Stock (the "IPO") in December 1995 and the exercise of certain warrants in 
connection with the IPO totaled $17.5 million.  The Company also received net 
proceeds of $3.5 million in January 1996 upon the exercise of the 
underwriters' over-allotment option.  At June 30, 1997, the Company had $21.4 
million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

    The Company's operating activities used cash of $402,000 in the six 
months ended June 30, 1997.  Cash used in operating activities reflected 
changes in working capital, partially offset by net income and depreciation 
and amortization.  The principal change in working capital during the six 
months was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.6 
million due partially to payments of expenses related to the acquisition of 
CompCore in December 1996.  In addition, inventory decreased by $1.1 million 
due primarily to the continued high level of shipments at the end of the 
period, planned reductions of inventory levels of certain older products and 
higher than anticipated demand for certain new products.  During the six 
months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's capital expenditures were $1.9 
million.  The Company had no bank debt at December 31, 1996 or at June 30, 
1997.

    The Company believes that its current balances of cash, cash equivalents 
and short-term investments and anticipated cash flow from operations, will 
satisfy the Company's anticipated working capital and capital equipment 
requirements through at least the next twelve months.

FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND RISK FACTORS

    THE COMPANY'S FUTURE BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION 
ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED 
BELOW.

    PRODUCT CONCENTRATION; EVOLVING MARKETS.  Since the Company's markets are 
still evolving, only a limited number of commercial and consumer products 
that incorporate the Company's integrated circuits are currently in volume 
production.  Current applications for the Company's products include 
professional and consumer video editing systems, PC-based and stand-alone 
video CD and DVD players, digital audio systems, filmless digital cameras and 
video conferencing systems.  During 1994 and 1995, the Company derived a 
majority of its product revenues from the sale of integrated circuits for 
video editing applications.  While sales of audio products accounted for an 
increased percentage of product revenues in 1996, video editing applications 
continued to account for the largest percentage of the Company's product 
sales.  Delays in the development of the DVD market have resulted in 
decreased sales of the Company's audio products in 1997 compared to 1996.  
The Company expects that sales of its devices for video capture and editing 
applications and digital audio applications will continue to account for a 
significant portion of its revenues for the near future. Over the longer 
term, the Company's ability to generate increased revenues will be dependent 
on the expansion of sales of its products for use in other existing 
applications, as well as the development and acceptance of new applications 
for the Company's technologies and products.  The potential size of the 
markets for new applications and the timing of their development and 
acceptance is uncertain.  The Company's future success will depend upon 
whether manufacturers select the Company's integrated circuits and software 
for incorporation into their products, and upon the successful marketing of 
these products by the manufacturers.  There can be no assurance that demand 
for existing applications will be sustained, that new markets will develop or 
that manufacturers developing products for any of these markets will design 
the Company's integrated circuits into their products or successfully market 
them.  The failure of existing and new markets to develop or to be receptive 
to the Company's products would have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, operating results and financial condition. 


                                      10

<PAGE>

    The emergence of markets for the Company's integrated circuits will be 
affected by a variety of factors beyond the Company's control.  In 
particular, the Company's products are designed to conform with certain 
current industry standards.  There can be no assurance that manufacturers 
will continue to follow these standards or that competing standards will not 
emerge which will be preferred by manufacturers.  The emergence of markets 
for the Company's products is also dependent in part upon third-party content 
providers developing and marketing content for end-user systems, such as 
video and audio playback systems, in a format compatible with the Company's 
products.  There can be no assurance that these or other factors beyond the 
Company's control will not adversely affect the development of markets for 
the Company's products.

    RELIANCE ON INDEPENDENT FOUNDRIES AND CONTRACTORS.  The Company does not 
operate any manufacturing facilities, and from time to time shortages of 
foundry capacity develop for certain process technologies in the 
semiconductor industry. The Company currently relies on independent foundries 
to manufacture substantially all of its products.  The Company's independent 
foundries fabricate products for other companies and may also produce 
products of their own design.  The Company does not have a long-term supply 
contract with two of its principal foundries and, therefore, neither of these 
suppliers is obligated to supply products to the Company for any specific 
period, in any specific quantity or at any specified price, except as may be 
provided in a particular purchase order.

    The Company's reliance on independent foundries involves a number of 
risks, including the inability to obtain adequate capacity, the 
unavailability of or interruption in access to certain process technologies, 
reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing 
yields and cost, and potential misappropriation of the Company's intellectual 
property.  The loss of any of the Company's foundries as a supplier, the 
inability of the Company in a period of increased demand for its products to 
expand supply or the Company's inability to obtain timely and adequate 
deliveries from its current or future suppliers could reduce or delay 
shipments of the Company's products.  Any of these developments could damage 
relationships with the Company's current and prospective customers and have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results or 
financial condition.

    All of the Company's semiconductor products are currently being assembled 
by one of two independent contractors and tested by those contractors or 
other independent contractors. The Company's reliance on independent assembly 
and testing houses limits its control over delivery schedules, quality 
assurance and product cost. Disruptions in the provision of services by the 
Company's assembly or testing houses or other circumstances that would 
require the Company to seek alternative sources of assembly or testing could 
lead to supply constraints or delays in the delivery of the Company's 
products.  These constraints or delays could damage relationships with 
current and prospective customers and have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, operating results or financial condition.

    RECENTLY COMPLETED ACQUISITION.  On December 27, 1996, the Company 
acquired CompCore.  The managements of the Company and CompCore have 
completed the merger with the expectation that the merger will result in 
beneficial synergies for the companies.  Achieving the anticipated benefits 
of the merger will depend in part upon whether the integration of the two 
companies' businesses is accomplished in an efficient and effective manner, 
and there can be no assurance that this will occur.  The combination of the 
two companies will require, among other things, integration of the companies' 
respective product offerings and technology and coordination of their 
research and development, sales and marketing, and financial reporting 
efforts.  There can be no assurance that such integration will be 
accomplished smoothly or successfully.  If significant difficulties are 
encountered in the integration of the existing product lines and technology, 
resources could be diverted from new product development, resulting in delays 
in new product introductions.  The difficulties of such integration may be 
increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically separated 
organizations with distinct cultures.  The integration of certain operations 
following the merger will require the dedication of management and other 
personnel resources which may temporarily distract from the day-to-day 
business of the combined company.  In addition, certain former key employees 
of CompCore are no longer with the Company or are working a reduced amount of 
time.  There is no assurance that this will not continue to occur.  Failure 
to successfully accomplish the integration of the two companies' operations 
could have a material adverse effect on the combined company's business, 
financial condition or results of operations.


                                      11

<PAGE>

    NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND TIMELY INTRODUCTION OF NEW AND ENHANCED 
PRODUCTS.  The markets for the Company's products are characterized by 
rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new 
product introductions and short product life cycles.  The Company expects to 
increase its expenses relating to product development, and its future success 
will depend to a substantial degree upon its ability to develop and 
introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new and enhanced products 
that meet changing customer requirements and industry standards.  There can 
be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop, introduce or 
manage the transition to new products. Future delays in the introduction or 
shipment of new or enhanced products, the inability of such products to gain 
market acceptance or problems associated with new product transitions could 
adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial 
condition.

    COMPETITION; PRICING PRESSURES.  The Company's existing and potential 
competitors include large domestic and international companies that have 
substantially greater financial, manufacturing, technical, marketing, 
distribution and other resources, broader product lines and longer standing 
relationships with customers than the Company.  The markets in which the 
Company competes are intensely competitive and are characterized by rapid 
technological change, declining ASPs and rapid product obsolescence.

    CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION; CHANGE IN CUSTOMER MIX.  The Company's largest 
customers have accounted for a substantial percentage of its revenues, and 
sales to these large customers have varied materially from year to year. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its key 
customers or that such customers will not cancel purchase orders or 
reschedule or decrease their level of purchases.  In addition, sales to these 
key customers may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.  Any 
development that would result in a substantial decrease or delay in sales to 
one or more key customers, including actions by competitors or technological 
changes, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
operating results or financial condition.  In addition, any development that 
would affect the collectibility of account balances from one or more key 
customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
operating results or financial condition.

    POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS.  The Company's quarterly
operating results have varied significantly due to a number of factors,
including the timing of new product introductions by the Company and its
competitors, market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's
products and products of its customers, the timing of large customer orders, the
availability of development funding and the timing of licensing and development
revenue, changes in the mix of products sold and the mix of distribution
channels employed and competitive pricing pressures.  The Company expects that
its operating results will fluctuate in the future as a result of these factors
and a variety of other factors, including the availability of adequate foundry
capacity, fluctuations in manufacturing yields, the emergence of new industry
standards, product obsolescence, changes in pricing policies by the Company, its
competitors or its suppliers, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry,
the evolving and unpredictable nature of the markets for products incorporating
the Company's integrated circuits and software and the amount of research and
development expenses associated with new product introductions.  The Company's
operating results could also be adversely affected by economic conditions
generally or in various geographic areas where the Company or its customers do
business, other conditions affecting the timing of customer orders, a downturn
in the markets for its customers' products, particularly the consumer
electronics market, or order cancellations or reschedulings. These factors are
difficult or impossible to forecast, and these or other factors could materially
affect the Company's quarterly or annual operating results. The Company places
orders to purchase its products from independent foundries several months in
advance of the scheduled delivery date, often in advance of receiving
non-cancelable orders from its customers.  If anticipated shipments or licensing
or development revenue in any quarter are canceled or do not occur as quickly as
expected, expense and inventory levels could be disproportionately high.  A
significant portion of the Company's expenses is relatively fixed, and the
timing of increases in expenses is based in large part on the Company's forecast
of future revenues.  As a result, if revenues do not meet the Company's
expectations it may be unable to quickly adjust expenses to levels appropriate
to actual revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results or financial condition.  To date, the Company's
operating results have not been materially affected by seasonal factors.
However, as markets for consumer products incorporating the Company's integrated
circuits mature, the Company expects that sales will tend to be stronger during
the last several months of the calendar year than at other times due to
increased demand for consumer products during the holiday season.  As a result
of the foregoing, the 


                                      12

Company's operating results and stock price may be subject to significant 
volatility, particularly on a quarterly basis.  Any shortfall in revenues or 
net income from levels expected by securities analysts could have an 
immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of the 
Company's Common Stock.

    MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH.  The Company has recently experienced rapid growth 
and expansion which has placed, and will continue to place, a significant 
strain on its administrative, operational and financial resources and has 
resulted, and will continue to result, in a continuing increase in the level 
of responsibility for both existing and new management personnel.  The 
Company anticipates that future growth, if any, will require it to recruit 
and hire a substantial number of new engineering, managerial, sales and 
marketing personnel.  The Company's ability to manage its growth successfully 
will also require the Company to continue to expand and improve its  
administrative, operational, management and financial systems and controls.  
Many of the Company's key operations, including the major portion of its 
research and development and a significant portion of its sales and 
administrative operations, are located in Israel, while a majority of its 
sales and marketing and certain of its research and development and 
administrative personnel, including its President and Chief Executive Officer 
and other officers, are based in the United States.  The geographic 
separation of these operations is likely to place additional strain on the 
Company's resources and its ability to effectively manage its growth.  If the 
Company's management is unable to manage growth effectively, the Company's 
business, operating results or financial condition could be materially and 
adversely affected.

    DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  The Company's success depends to a 
significant degree upon the continuing contributions of its senior 
management. The loss of key management personnel could delay product 
development cycles or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, operating results or financial condition.  There can be 
no assurance that the Company will be able to retain the services of any of 
its key employees.  The Company believes that its future success will also 
depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain highly-skilled 
engineering, managerial, sales and marketing personnel, both in the United 
States and in Israel.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and there 
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting, 
integrating and retaining such personnel.  Failure to attract and retain key 
personnel could have a material  adverse effect on the Company's business, 
operating results or financial condition.

    RELIANCE ON INTERNATIONAL SALES AND OPERATIONS; RELIANCE ON OPERATIONS IN 
ISRAEL.  The Company anticipates that international sales will continue to 
represent a significant portion of total revenues.  In addition, 
substantially all of the Company's products are manufactured, assembled and 
tested outside of the United States by independent foundries and 
subcontractors.  The Company is subject to the risks of doing business 
internationally, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, 
fluctuations in exchange rates, imposition of tariffs and other barriers and 
restrictions and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws. The 
Company is also subject to general geopolitical risks, such as political and 
economic instability and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, in 
connection with its international operations.

    A substantial portion of the Company's research and development and sales 
operations are located in the State of Israel.  Therefore, the Company is 
directly affected by the political, economic and military conditions to which 
that country is subject.  In addition, many of the Company's expenses in 
Israel are paid in Israeli shekels, thereby subjecting the Company to the 
risk of foreign currency fluctuations and to economic pressures resulting 
from Israel's generally high rate of inflation.  There can be no assurance 
that such factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business, operating results or financial condition.

    VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.  The market price of the Company's Common 
Stock has fluctuated significantly since the IPO and is subject to material 
fluctuations in the future in response to announcements concerning the 
Company or its competitors or customers, quarterly variations in operating 
results, announcements of technological innovations, the introduction of new 
products or changes in product pricing policies by the Company or its 
competitors, proprietary rights or other litigation, changes in analysts' 
earnings estimates, general conditions in the semiconductor industry, 
developments in the financial markets and other factors.  In addition, the 
stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume 
fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for technology 
companies and which have been unrelated to the operating performance of the 
affected companies.  Broad market fluctuations of this type may adversely 
affect the future market price of the Common Stock.
