Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

                  The  purpose of the  previous  acquisitions  by the  Reporting
Person  was to  purchase  the  shares  of  Common  Stock of DSP  ("Shares")  for
investment purposes.  Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between DSP and the
Reporting Person dated as of February 2, 1999 (the "Stock Purchase  Agreement"),
the Reporting Person  designated two persons to DSP's Board of Directors and has
the right to continue to designate two persons as long as the Reporting Person's
ownership of DSP does not fall below (i) 7% of the issued and outstanding Common
Stock of DSP  (without  giving  effect to shares of  Common  Stock  issued  upon
exercise of stock  options) and (ii)  821,276  shares of the Common Stock of DSP
(subject to appropriate  adjustment in the event of recapitalization,  spin-off,
stock split,  reverse  stock split or other similar  transaction).  In the event
Reporting  Person's  ownership  of Common  Stock of DSP falls  below the  levels
described in the preceding sentence, the Reporting Person may only designate one
director to its Board of Directors.

                  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person
may sell some of the Shares  commencing  February  2, 2000 as more  specifically
described in Item 6 herein. Furthermore,  the Reporting Person reviews from time
to time the performance of its  investments  and,  therefore,  may, from time to
time,  subsequent to February 1, 2000,  acquire  securities of DSP not to exceed
35% of the outstanding Common Stock of DSP or dispose of securities of DSP.

                  Except as may be  provided  herein  or in the  Stock  Purchase
Agreement, the Reporting Person does not have any other plans or proposals which
would result in: (i) an extraordinary  corporate transaction,  such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation of DSP or any of its subsidiaries;  (ii) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of DSP or any of its subsidiaries; (iii)
any change in the present board of directors or management of DSP, including any
plans or  proposals  to change  the number or term of  directors  or to fill any
existing  vacancies  on the  board;  (iv) any  material  change  in the  present
capitalization or dividend policy of DSP; (v) any other material change in DSP's
business or corporate structure,  (vi) any changes in DSP's charter,  by-laws or
instruments  corresponding  thereto  or  other  actions  which  may  impede  the
acquisition of control of DSP by any person; (vii) causing a class of securities
of DSP to be  delisted  from a  national  securities  exchange  or  cease  to be
authorized  to be quoted in an  inter-dealer  quotation  system of a  registered
national securities association;  (viii) causing a class of equity securities of
DSP to become  eligible  for  termination  of  registration  pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934; or (ix) any action similar to
any of those enumerated above.

Reporting Person will vote for the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of
Directors  of  DSP  for  election  as  directors  at  each  annual   meeting  of

Purchase  Agreement,  that  without the prior  written  consent of DSP (i) for a
period  commencing on February 2, 1999 and ending the day  immediately  prior to
the first anniversary of such date, the Reporting Person will not sell, transfer
or  otherwise  dispose of any of the Shares or any other  shares of Common Stock
owned by the Reporting Person and (ii) from the period commencing on February 2,
2000 and ending on August 2, 2000 the  Reporting  Person will dispose the Shares
or any shares of Common  Stock of DSP owned by it only up to the  volume  limits
set forth in Rule 144(e)(i) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided,
however,  the  Reporting  Person has agreed  that it will not dispose any of the
Shares or any other shares of Common Stock of DSP owned by the Reporting  Person
during any period in which  directors of DSP are subject to a "blackout  period"
or other  prohibitions  against the sale or disposition of Common Stock.  To the
knowledge of the Reporting  Person on the date hereof,  except to the extent set
forth herein or in the Exhibit herewith,  the Reporting Person does not have any
other  contracts,   arrangements,   understandings  or  relationship  (legal  or
otherwise) with any person with respect to securities issued by DSP,  including,
but not limited to,  transfer or voting of any such  securities,  finder's fees,
joint  ventures,  loan or  option  arrangements,  puts or calls,  guarantees  or
profits, divisions or profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
