Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

   Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and
executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered
class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports
of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other
equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten
percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

   To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Company, during the Company's fiscal year ended April
2, 2000, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers,
directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with,
except for the following:

  .  In November 1999, Gary Bloom, Bandel Carano, Marco De Benedetti, Dr.
     Hermann Hauser, Professor Andrew Hopper, Peter Morris, Patrick Sayer and
     Giuseppe Zocco each received options to purchase 80,000 shares of our
     common stock. These transactions were filed on Form 4 in January 2000.

  .  In February 2000, Mr. Zocco exercised a warrant and purchased 175,486
     shares of the Company's common stock and surrendered 6,500 shares
     relating to the purchase. This transaction was filed on Form 5 in April
     2000.

  .  In July 2000, it was discovered that the Form 3 filed by Dr. Hauser in
     November 1999 was inaccurate. An amended report on Form 3 will be filed
     in July 2000.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

   Virata's compensation committee was established in November 1999. Prior to
that date, all compensation decisions were made by our full board of
directors. The compensation committee reviews, approves and/or makes
recommendations to the board regarding all forms of compensation provided to
our executive officers, including stock compensation and loans. In addition,
the compensation committee reviews, approves and/or makes recommendations on
stock compensation arrangements for all of our other employees. As part of the
foregoing, the compensation committee administers our stock incentive and
other employee benefit plans. The members of the compensation committee are
Messrs. Hauser, Carano and Zocco.

   We are not aware of any interlocking relationship existing between our
board of directors or compensation committee and the board of directors or
compensation committee of any other company, nor are we aware of any such
interlocking relationship existing in the past.

ITEM 11. DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Director Compensation

   Directors who are our full-time employees receive no additional
compensation for serving on our board of directors or its committees; however,
each director will be reimbursed for his or her out-of-pocket expenses in
attending board meetings. Directors who are not our employees or employees of
our affiliates will receive compensation in the form of stock options granted
under our 1999 Non-Employee Director Plan for serving on our board of
directors. No additional compensation is paid with respect to service on or
attending meetings of either the compensation or the audit committees.

   The purposes of the 1999 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan is to
enable us to attract, retain and motivate our non-employee directors and the
members of our technology advisory board, which will advise the company on
technology matters, by providing for or increasing the proprietary interests
of such non-employee directors in our stock. The non-employee compensation
plan provides for automatic grants of stock options to purchase shares of our
common to eligible non-employee directors, made up of an initial grant of an
option to purchase 80,000 shares that vests over four years upon election to
the board of directors and then successive

                                       3
<PAGE>

20,000 share grants which will vest over one year. In addition, members of our
technology advisory board may be granted options to purchase shares of our
common stock in an amount to be determined at the discretion of the director
compensation committee, subject to board approval. The maximum number of
shares of our common stock that may be issued under the non-employee director
compensation plan is 2,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment in the event of
recapitalizations or changes in our common stock. All option grants will have
a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our
common stock on the date of grant of the option.

   The stock options under the non-employee director compensation plan will be
effected by way of individual option agreements with each recipient. An option
may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time and lapses on the tenth
anniversary from the date of its grant. In the event of a change in control of
the company, all unvested options then outstanding shall immediately become
vested. All options are non-transferable, but form part of the option holder's
estate in the event of death. In the event an option holder ceases to be
eligible to participate in the non-employee director compensation plan, all
unvested options shall immediately terminate. Such option holder will then
have a period of 12 months in which to exercise the vested portion of the
option, subject to a shorter or longer period in certain circumstances. Upon
the expiration of the exercise period, any options that remain unexercised
will lapse.

   The non-employee director compensation plan is administered by our director
compensation committee, consisting of Messrs. Cotton and Jackson. The director
compensation committee may amend or terminate the non-employee director
compensation plan at any time and in any matter, subject to the rights of
recipients of awards under the plan and required board or stockholder
approvals. Unless terminated earlier by the director compensation committee or
the board of directors, the plan will terminate in November 2009 or upon a
change of control of the company.

   As of July 21, 2000 there were options outstanding to purchase 640,000
shares of our common stock issued to our non-employee directors. The
outstanding options are exercisable at a price per share of $7.00. On
April 13, 2000, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to
the shares or our common stock issuable under the 1999 non-employee director
compensation plan. As a result, shares of common stock issued under such plan
after the date the registration statement was filed will be freely tradable,
except for shares held by our affiliates.

(1) Based on options to purchase a total of 4,701,738 shares of our common
    stock granted during the fiscal year ended April 2, 2000.

(2) The exercise price was equal to the fair market value of our common stock
    on the date of grant, as determined by our board of directors through
    November 16, 1999, or as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market after
    November 16, 1999.

(3) The potential realizable value is calculated based on the seven year term
    of the options at the time of grant. Stock price appreciation of 5% and
    10% is assumed pursuant to the rules promulgated by the Securities and
    Exchange Commission and does not represent our prediction of our stock
    price performance. The potential realizable value at 5% and 10%
    appreciation is calculated by assuming that the exercise price in the date
    of grant appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire term of the
    option and that the option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on
    the last day of its term at the appreciated price.

of the fact that such person is or was one of our directors or officers or

venture, trust, or other enterprise at our request. We have also entered into
agreements to indemnify directors and our Named Executive Officers and
