ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On June 29, 2000, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
dated as of June 28, 2000 (the "Plan of Reorganization"), by and among Zoran
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Zoran"), Grape Acquisition Corp., a
California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Zoran ("Sub"), and
PixelCam, Inc., a California corporation ("PixelCam"), Sub was merged with and
into PixelCam, Inc., and PixelCam became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zoran (the
"Merger"). Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, each share of common
stock of PixelCam ("PixelCam Common Stock") was converted into the right to
receive 0.044 of a share of common stock of Zoran ("Zoran Common Stock") upon
effectiveness of the Merger and up to an additional 0.044 of a share of Zoran
Common Stock based on the achievement of certain financial performance targets
during 2000 and 2001, as specified in the Plan of Reorganization. Also under the
terms of the Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding option to acquire shares
of PixelCam Common Stock (an "Option") was assumed by Zoran and converted into
an option to acquire 0.044 of a share of Zoran Common Stock for each share of
PixelCam Common Stock underlying such Option and the right to receive up to an
additional 0.044 of a share of Zoran Common Stock for each such share of
PixelCam Common Stock based on the achievement of the foregoing performance
targets.

         In the aggregate, as a result of the Merger, Zoran issued 375,000
shares of Zoran Common Stock in exchange for the shares of PixelCam Common Stock
that were outstanding on June 29, 2000, and the PixelCam Options that were
outstanding on such date were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of
4,180 shares of Zoran Common Stock (the "Zoran Options"). The Merger was
accounted for as a purchase. Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, 10%
of the shares of Zoran Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Merger
were deposited in escrow as security for indemnification claims that Zoran its
affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees and attorneys
(collectively, the "Zoran Group") may bring for breaches of any representations,
warranties or covenants of PixelCam set forth in the Reorganization Agreement.
Claims against this escrow represent the sole recourse for any claim by any
member of the Zoran Group against PixelCam in connection with the Merger except
in the event of fraud or willful misrepresentation. The indemnification period
ends, and the shares in the escrow account will be distributed to the
shareholders, 12 months following the date the Merger became effective.

         The Zoran Common Stock issued in the Merger was issued pursuant to the
exemption from registration provided by Rule 506. of Regulation D. Zoran will
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a
registration statement on Form S-3, covering the resale of the shares of Zoran
Common Stock issued in the Merger. In addition, Zoran will register with the
Commission the shares of Zoran Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Zoran
Options.

         A copy of the press release announcing the signing of the Plan of
Reorganization is attached as EXHIBIT 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
