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) 1,642,552 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, 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.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
             WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (without giving effect
to shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of stock options after February
2, 1999), or a designee of the Reporting Person is a director of DSP, the
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

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.
