                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          (UNAUDITED; IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
     accounts of SeaChange International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  The
     Company believes that the unaudited consolidated financial statements
     reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments),
     necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position,
     results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods
     indicated.  The results of operations for the three month period ended
     March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the
     full fiscal year or any other future periods.  The unaudited consolidated
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31,
     1999, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal
     year.

2.   REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Revenues from sales of systems are recognized upon shipment provided title
     and risk of loss has passed to the customer, there is evidence of an
     arrangement, fees are fixed and determinable and collection of the related
     receivable is probable. Installation and training revenue is deferred and
     recognized as these services are performed.  Revenue from technical support
     and maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized ratably over the
     period of the related agreements, generally twelve months.  Customers are
     billed for installation, training and maintenance at the time of the
     product sale. Revenue from content fees, primarily movies, is recognized in
     the period earned based on noncancelable agreements. Customer deposits
     represent advance payments from customers for systems.


3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     For the three months ended March 31, 1999, common shares of  416,000,
     issuable upon the exercise of stock options and unvested restricted common
     stock of 306,000, are antidilutive because the Company recorded a net loss
     for the period, and therefore, have been excluded from the diluted earnings
     per share computation.

     Below is a summary of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted
     earnings per share for the periods indicated:

6.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
     establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
     including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, collectively
     referred to as derivatives, and for hedging activities.  The Company will
     adopt SFAS 133 as required by SFAS 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of
     FASB Statement No. 133", in fiscal year 2001.  To date the Company has not
     utilized derivative instruments or hedging activities and, therefore, the
     adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the
     Company's financial position or results of operations.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
     Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in
     Financial Statements."  SAB 101 summarizes the SEC's view in applying
     generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition
     issues.  The application of the guidance in SAB 101 will be required in the
     Company's second quarter of its current fiscal year.  The effects of
     applying this guidance, if any, will be reported as a cumulative effect
     adjustment resulting in a change in accounting principle.  The Company's
     evaluation of SAB 101 is not yet complete.

     In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
     Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
     Compensation--an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44
     clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and is effective
     July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that
     occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The Company
     does not expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material impact on the
     Company's financial position or results of operations.

7.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The Company has four reportable segments: digital advertising insertion,
     broadcast systems, interactive television systems (ITV) and services. The
     digital advertising insertion systems segment provides products to
     digitally manage, store and distribute digital video for television
     operators and telecommunications companies. The broadcast systems segment
     provides products for the storage, archival, on-air playback of
     advertising, near video on demand, and other video programming for the
     broadcast television industry. The ITV segment comprises products to
     provide long-form video storage and delivery for television operators and
     telecommunication companies for the residential market and pay-per-view
     markets for the hospitality and commercial property markets. The service
     segment provides installation, training, product maintenance and technical
     support for all of the above systems and content which is distributed by
     the ITV product segment. The Company does not measure the assets allocated
     to the segments. The Company has changed its reportable segments from the
     prior year and has reclassed prior year amounts to conform to these current
     segments. The Company measures results of the segments based on the
     respective gross profits. There were no intersegment sales or transfers.
     Long-lived assets are principally located in the United States. The
     following summarizes the revenues and cost of revenues by reportable
     segment:

8.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     One of our customers is subject to a lawsuit whereby a third party has made
     a claim of patent infringement against our customer, which claim is
     believed to relate to such customer's use of our products. Our customer has
     requested that we indemnify it from such liability to the extent such
     liability is related to the customer's use of our products. We do not
     believe that the charge of infringement against the customer's products
     based on use of our products has any merit, and we plan to oppose the
     allegations vigorously.

9.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In April, the Company's Board of Directors voted to change the Company's
     fiscal accounting year to begin on February 1 and end on January 31. The
     Company had been operating under a fiscal year that began on January 1 and
     ended December 31.

     In May, the Company and Microsoft Corporation entered into a binding letter
     of intent to collaborate on extending Microsoft Windows Media Technologies
     from broadband Internet delivery to cable and broadcast television systems.
     As part of the agreement, Microsoft Corporation will make a minority
     investment in the Company.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     Any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that do not describe historical
facts, including without limitation statements concerning expected revenues,
earnings, product introductions and general market conditions, may constitute
forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Any such forward-looking statements contained
herein are based on current expectations, but are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from
expectations.  The factors that could cause actual future results to differ
materially from current expectations include the following: the Company's
ability to integrate the operations of acquired subsidiaries; fluctuations in
demand for the Company's products and services; the Company's ability to manage
its growth; the Company's ability to develop, market and introduce new and
enhanced products and services on a timely basis; the rapid technological change
which characterizes the Company's markets; the Company's significant
concentration of customers; the Company's dependence on certain sole source
suppliers and third-party manufacturers; the risks associated with international
sales as the Company expands its markets; and the ability of the Company to
compete successfully in the future.  Further information on factors that could
cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is detailed in various
filings made by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including but not limited to, those appearing under the caption
"Certain Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.  Any forward-looking statements should be considered in
light of those factors.

OVERVIEW

The Company develops, markets, licenses and sells digital advertising insertion,
broadcast and interactive television systems and related services and movie
content to television operators, telecommunications companies, the hospitality
and commercial property markets and broadcast television companies.  Revenues
from systems sales are recognized upon shipment provided title and risk of loss
has passed to the customer, there is evidence of an arrangement, fees are fixed
and determinable and collection of the related receivables is probable.
Installation and training revenue is deferred and recognized as these services
are performed.  Revenue from technical support and maintenance contracts is
deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the related agreements,
generally twelve months.  Customers are billed for installation, training and
maintenance at the time of the product sale. Revenue from content fees,
primarily movies, is recognized in the period earned based on noncancelable
agreements.

The Company has experienced fluctuations in the number of orders being placed
from quarter to quarter. The Company believes this is principally attributable
to the buying patterns and budgeting cycles of television operators and
broadcast companies, the primary buyers of digital advertising insertion systems
and broadcast systems, respectively. The Company expects that there will
continue to be fluctuations in the number and value of orders received and that
at least in the near future, the Company's revenue and results of operations
will reflect these fluctuations.

The Company's results are significantly influenced by a number of factors,
including the Company's pricing, the costs of materials used in the Company's
products and the expansion of the Company's operations.  The Company prices its
products and services based upon its costs as well as in consideration of the
prices of competitive products and services in the marketplace. The costs of the
Company's products primarily consist of the costs of components and
subassemblies that have generally declined over time. As a result of the growth
of the Company's business, operating expenses of the Company have increased in
the areas of research and development, selling and marketing, customer service
and support and administration.

In April, the Company's Board of Directors voted to change the Company's fiscal
accounting year to begin on February 1 and end on January 31. The Company had
been operating under a fiscal year that began on January 1 and ended December
31.

In May, the Company and Microsoft Corporation entered into a binding letter
of intent to collaborate on extending Microsoft Windows Media Technologies from
broadband Internet delivery to cable and broadcast television systems. As part
of the agreement, Microsoft Corporation will make a minority investment in the
Company.

   Revenues

   Systems.  The Company's systems revenues consist of sales of its digital
   video insertion, broadcast and interactive television system products.
   Systems revenues decreased 1% from $16.9 million in the three months ended
   March 31, 1999 to $16.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000.
   The decreased systems revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2000
   compared to the same period in 1999 resulted from a decrease of $1.7 million
   and $800,000 in digital advertising insertion and broadcast systems revenues,
   respectively, offset by a $2.2 million increase in interactive television
   systems revenues.  The Company expects future systems revenue growth, if any,
   to come principally from its broadcast and interactive television products.

   For the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, certain customers
   accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenues.  Single
   customers accounted for 17% and 15% of total revenues in three months ended
   March 31, 2000 and 17%, 16% and 14% of total revenues in the three months
   ended March 31, 1999.  The Company believes that revenues from current and
   future large customers will continue to represent a significant proportion of
   total revenues.

   International sales accounted for approximately 16% of total revenues in the
   three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  The Company expects that
   international sales will remain a significant portion of the Company's
   business in the future. As of March 31, 2000, substantially all sales of the
   Company's products were made in United States dollars. The Company does not
   expect to change this practice in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the
   Company has not experienced, nor does it expect to experience in the near
   term, any material impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
   rates on its results of operations or liquidity. If this practice changes in
   the future, the Company will reevaluate its foreign currency exchange rate
   risk.

   Services.  The Company's services revenues consist of fees for installation,
   training, product maintenance, technical support services and movie content
   fees.  The Company's services revenues increased 36% to $5.3 million in three
   months ended March 31, 2000 from $3.9 million in the three months ended March
   31, 1999.  This increase in services revenues primarily resulted from the
   renewals of maintenance and support contracts, price increases on certain
   annual maintenance contracts and the impact of a growing installed base of
   systems.

   Gross Profit

   Systems.  Costs of systems revenues consist primarily of the cost of
   purchased components and subassemblies, labor and overhead relating to the
   final assembly and testing of complete systems and related expenses. Costs of
   systems revenues decreased 7% from $9.9 million in the three months ended
   March 31, 1999 to $9.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. In
   the three months ended March 31, 2000, the decrease in costs of systems
   revenues reflects lower systems revenue and a higher margin product mix.

   Systems gross profit as a percentage of systems revenues was 45% and 42% in
   the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in
   systems gross profit in the three month ended March 31, 2000 was primarily
   due to lower material and labor costs as a percentage of systems revenue.
   The gross profits in the three months ended March 31, 1999 were impacted by
   an increase of approximately $288,000 in the Company's inventory valuation
   allowance. The Company evaluates inventory levels and expected usage on a
   periodic basis and provides a valuation allowance for estimated inactive,
   obsolete and surplus inventory.

   Services. Costs of services revenues consist primarily of labor, materials
   and overhead relating to the installation, training, product maintenance and
   technical support services provided by the Company and costs associated with
   providing movie content. Costs of services revenues increased 21% from $3.4
   million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $4.2 million in the three
   months ended March 31, 2000, primarily as a result of the costs associated
   with the Company hiring and training additional service personnel to provide
   worldwide support for the growing installed base of digital advertising
   insertion, broadcast and interactive television systems and costs associated
   with providing movie content. Services gross profit as a percentage of
   services revenue was 22% in the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 11% in
   the three months ended March 31, 1999. Improvements in the services gross
   profit in the three months ended March 31, 2000 reflects the increase in the
   installed base of systems under service contracts, the impact of price
   increases on certain annual maintenance contracts and the completion of
   certain high margin support contracts. The Company expects that it will
   continue to experience fluctuations in gross profit as a percentage of
   services revenue as a result of the timing of revenues from product and
   maintenance support and other services to support the growing installed base
   of systems and the timing of costs associated with the Company's ongoing
   investment required to build a service organization to support the installed
   base of systems and new products.

                                       10
<PAGE>

   Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily
   of compensation of development personnel, depreciation of equipment and an
   allocation of related facilities expenses. Research and development expenses
   increased 9% from $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to
   $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in the
   dollar amount in the three months ended March 31, 2000 was primarily
   attributable to the hiring and contracting of additional development
   personnel which reflects the Company's continuing investment in new products.
   All internal software development costs to date have been expensed by the
   Company. The Company expects that research and development expenses will
   continue to increase in dollar amount as the Company continues its
   development and support of new and existing products.

   Selling and Marketing.  Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of
   compensation expenses, including sales commissions, travel expenses and
   certain promotional expenses.  Selling and marketing expenses increased 11%
   to $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $2.0 million in
   the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The increase was  primarily due to
   the hiring of additional sales personnel for the Company's broadcast and
   interactive television products.

   General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses consist
   primarily of compensation of executive, finance, human resource and
   administrative personnel, legal and accounting services and an allocation of
   related facilities expenses.  General and administrative expenses remained
   relatively flat at $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
   1999.

   Interest Income, net.  Interest income, net was approximately $26,000 and
   $11,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
   increase in interest income, net in the three months ended March 31, 2000
   primarily resulted from higher average invested cash balances offset by
   interest expense on borrowings.

   Provision for Income Taxes.  The Company's effective tax provision rate was
   32% in the three months ended March 31, 2000.

   The Company had net deferred tax assets of $2.9 million at March 31, 2000.
   The Company has made the determination it is more likely than not
   that it will realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures primarily
   with the proceeds of the Company's common stock, borrowings and cash flows
   generated from operations.  Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
   decreased $3.9 million from $11.3 million at December 31, 1999 to $7.4
   million at March 31, 2000. Working capital increased from approximately $23.4
   million at December 31, 1999 to approximately $24.7 million at March 31,
   2000.

   Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.3 million for the
   three months ended March 31, 2000.  Net cash provided by operating activities
   was approximately $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31,1999.  The
   net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31,
   2000 was the result of the net income adjusted for non-cash expenses
   including depreciation and amortization and the changes in certain assets and
   liabilities. The significant net changes in assets and liabilities that used
   cash in operations included an increase in accounts receivable of $3.0
   million and an increase in inventories of $3.1 million. These items that used
   cash from operations were offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $2.7
   million.

   Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.0 million and
   $300,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
   Investment activity consisted primarily of capital expenditures related to
   the acquisition of computer equipment, office furniture, and other capital
   equipment required to support the expansion and growth of the business.

   Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.4 million for
   the three months ended March 31, 2000. Net cash used in financing activities
   was approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. In
   the three months ended March 31, 2000, the cash provided by financing
   included $2.0 million of borrowings under the equipment line of credit and
   $700,000 received in connection with the issuance of common stock pursuant to
   the exercise of stock options.  During the same period, cash used in
   financing activities included approximately $300,000 in principal payments
   under the Company's equipment line of credit and capital lease obligations.

                                       11
<PAGE>

   The Company had a $6.0 million revolving line of credit and a $5.0 million
   equipment line of credit with a bank. The revolving line of credit expired in
   March 2000 and the ability of the Company to make purchases applied to the
   equipment line of credit expired in March 2000. The Company is currently in
   the process of renewing both lines of credit. Borrowings under the lines of
   credit are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. Loans made
   under the revolving line of credit would generally bear interest at a rate
   per annum equal to the bank's base rate plus .5%. Loans made under the
   equipment line of credit bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
   bank's base rate plus 1.0% (9.5% at March 31, 2000). The loan agreement
   relating to the lines of credit requires that the Company provide the bank
   with certain periodic financial reports and comply with certain financial
   ratios including the maintenance of total liabilities, excluding deferred
   revenue, to net worth of at least .80 to 1.0. At March 31, 2000 the Company
   was in compliance with all covenants. As of March 31, 2000, there were no
   borrowings against the line of credit and borrowings outstanding under the
   equipment line of credit were $3.5 million.

   The Company believes that existing funds together with proceeds to be
   received from the Company's sale of its Common Stock to Microsoft Corporation
   pursuant to a binding letter of intent are adequate to satisfy its working
   capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

   The Company had no material capital expenditure commitments as of March 31,
   2000.

   Effects of Inflation

   Management believes that financial results have not been significantly
   impacted by inflation and price changes.

   Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
   No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
   which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
   instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
   collectively referred to as derivatives, and for hedging activities. The
   Company will adopt SFAS 133 as required by SFAS 137, "Deferral of the
   Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133", in fiscal year 2001. To date the
   Company has not utilized derivative instruments or hedging activities and,
   therefore, the adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact
   on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

   In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
   Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
   Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the SEC's view in applying generally accepted
   accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The application
   of the guidance in SAB 101 will be required in the Company's second quarter
   of its current fiscal year. The effects of applying this guidance, if any,
   will be reported as a cumulative effect adjustment resulting in a change in
   accounting principle. The Company's evaluation of SAB 101 is not yet
   complete.

   In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
   Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
   Compensation--an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44
   clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and is effective July 1,
   2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occurred
   after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The Company does not
   expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material impact on the Company's
   financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company faces exposure to financial market risks, including adverse
movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.
These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have
a material adverse impact on the Company's financial results.  The Company's
primary exposure has been related to local currency revenue and operating
expenses in Europe and Asia.  Historically, the Company has not hedged specific
currency exposures as gains and losses on foreign currency transactions have not
been material to date.  At March 31, 2000, the Company had $3,475,000
outstanding related to variable rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. The carrying
value of these short-term borrowings approximates fair value due to the short
maturities of these instruments.  Assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in
the interest rate, interest expense on these short-term borrowings would
increase by $33,000.

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximates fair value
at March 31, 2000 due to the short maturities of these instruments.

The Company maintains investment portfolio holdings of various issuers, types,
and maturities. The Company's cash and marketable securities include cash
equivalents, which the Company considers investments to be purchased with
original maturities of three months or less given the short maturities and
investment grade quality of the portfolio holdings at March 31, 2000, a sharp
rise in interest rates should not have a material adverse impact on the fair
value of the Company's investment portfolio. As a result, the Company does not
currently hedge these interest rate exposures.


                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

One of our customers is subject to a lawsuit whereby a third party has made a
claim of patent infringement against our customer, which claim is believed to
relate to such customer's use of our products. Our customer has requested that
we indemnify it from such liability to the extent such liability is related to
the customer's use of our products. We do not believe that the charge of
infringement against the customer's products based on use of our products has
any merit, and we plan to oppose the allegations vigorously.
