Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

	On April 18, 2000, Com21, Inc. ("Com21"), entered into a definitive
agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of a stock-for-stock
share acquisition of GADline, Ltd. ("GADline"), by Com21 (the
"Purchase").  Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of April
18, 2000, as amended (the "Share Purchase Agreement"), by and among
Com21, GADline, the sellers party thereto and Ofir Zemer, as Sellers'
Representative, Com21 purchased all of the issued and outstanding
ordinary shares of GADline (the "Purchase").  The Purchase was completed
on July 3, 2000.

	The aggregate purchase price for all issued and outstanding ordinary
shares of GADline consisted of 2,281,177 shares of Com21's common stock
(the "Com21 Shares"), including shares which are being held in escrow to
indemnify Com21 against certain damages that it may incur arising out of
the Share Purchase Agreement.  An additional 231,751 shares of Com21's
common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding
GADline stock options that were assumed in the Purchase, and an
additional 359,636 shares of Com21's common stock may be issued to the
former shareholders and optionholders of GADline upon the achievement of
certain milestones.

	All of the Com21 Shares issued in the Purchase were sold in reliance
on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and constitute "restricted securities"
under the Securities Act.  The Com21 Shares are also subject to
additional restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Share Purchase
Agreement.
