     4. The Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on August 14, 2002.

     All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that all securities offered have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Additional Disclosure For Adoption of FASB Statement No. 142 and Early Adoption of FASB Statement No. 145

     The following disclosure should be read in conjunction with the Registrant’s financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets,” and states that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The provisions under SFAS No. 142 relating to the discontinuance of amortization of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets is effective for assets acquired after June 30, 2001, and upon adoption of the statement to assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001. In addition, the provisions of SFAS No. 142 relating to impairment apply to assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. Terayon Communications Systems, Inc. elected to adopt this statement beginning January 1, 2002 and discontinued amortization of goodwill acquired prior to July 1, 2001. Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. is reviewing goodwill and intangibles for impairment on a periodic basis.

     In April 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (SFAS No. 145). SFAS No. 145 allows only those gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt that meet the criteria of extraordinary items to be treated as such in the financial statements. SFAS No. 145 also requires sales-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to lease-back transactions. As permitted, the Company early adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 in the second quarter of 2002. The Company determined that the extinguishment of its debt did not meet the criteria of an extraordinary item as set forth in SFAS No. 145. Accordingly, the Company now reports its gain from retirement of its Convertible Subordinated Notes in operations instead of as an extraordinary item.

     The following table shows what net income (loss) would have been had SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 145 been applied at the beginning of fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999:
