Item 2.           Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                  On December 10, 1998, Accom, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"),  acquired  substantially  all of the assets of Scitex Digital Video,
Inc.,  a   Massachusetts   corporation   ("SDV").   The  Company  also  acquired
substantially  all of the assets of Scitex  Digital Video  (Europe)  Limited,  a
private limited company  incorporated in England and Wales ("SDVE"),  and Scitex
Digital  Video (Asia  Pacific),  Inc., a California  corporation  ("SDVAP").  In
addition,  the Company acquired certain  intangible  personal property of Scitex
Corporation Ltd., an Israel corporation ("Scitex Corporation"), related to SDV's
business.  These  acquisitions  were  consummated  pursuant to an Asset Purchase
Agreement (the "Asset  Purchase  Agreement"),  dated as of December 10, 1998, by
and  among  the  Company,   SDV,  SDVE,  SDVAP,   Scitex  Development  Corp.,  a
Massachusetts corporation ("Scitex Development"), and Scitex Corporation.

                  The  Company  acquired  these  assets  in  exchange  for:  (i)
$7,893,400 in cash,  (ii) a warrant for 250,000  shares of the Company's  common
stock,  (iii) a warrant for 750,000  shares of the Company's  common stock,  and
(iv)  non-negotiable  subordinated  promissory  notes  of  the  Company  in  the
aggregate amount of $2,065,000.  As further  consideration,  the Company assumed
certain  liabilities of SDV. The warrants,  promissory  notes,  additional  cash
payments and  liabilities  assumed are further  described in the Asset  Purchase
Agreement, which is attached hereto as an exhibit.

                  There were three  sources for the cash  consideration  paid to
SDV. First,  the Company  entered into a Loan and Security  Agreement (the "Loan
Agreement"),  dated as of December 10, 1998, with LaSalle Business Credit,  Inc.
The Company  borrowed  approximately  $3,340,000  under the Loan Agreement which
constituted a portion of the cash consideration.  The obligations of the Company
under the Loan  Agreement  are  secured by  substantially  all the assets of the
Company.  The  second  source  for  the  cash  consideration  paid  to  SDV  was
approximately  $3,050,000  from the  Company's  current cash  assets.  The third
source for the cash  consideration  was $1,500,000 which the Company raised from
the private  placement of its common  stock,  on December 10, 1998, in which the
Company sold 2,500,000  unregistered  shares of common stock at a price of $0.60
per share.

                  The assets  acquired by the Company were used by SDV, SDVE and
SDVAP in connection with SDV's business of developing, manufacturing,  marketing
and  selling  digital  video   manipulation   equipment  and  non-linear   video
workstations for the video industry.  The Company  currently intends to continue
this use of such assets.

                  The  warrants  issued  to SDV and  the  shares  issued  in the
private  placement were issued pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.  The Company entered into an investor rights agreement with
each of SDV  and  the  investor,  which,  among  other  things,  grants  certain
registration  rights with  respect to the common  stock of the Company  issuable
upon exercise of the warrants and the common stock held by the investor.

                  A  copy  of  the  Company's  press  release   announcing  this
acquisition is attached hereto as an exhibit.

Item 8.           Change in Fiscal Year.

                  On December 10,  1998,  the Company  determined  to change its
fiscal year, which previously began on October 1 and ended on September 30, to a
calendar  fiscal  year,  which  begins  on  January 1 and ends on  December  31.
Accordingly,  the current fiscal year,  which began on October 1, 1998, will end
on December 31, 1998.  The Company will report a transition  period on Form 10-K
comprised  of the three  months  ended  December  31,  1998 which  will  include
approximately three weeks of results from SDV.
