NOTE C - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per
share also gives effect to the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants
(using the treasury stock method). A reconciliation of shares used in the
calculations is as follows (in thousands):

Options and warrants to purchase 323,306 and 1,991,905 shares of the Company's
common stock would have been anti-dilutive for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and were, therefore, excluded from the
diluted calculation in those periods.

NOTE D - INCOME TAXES

The Company did not recognize an income tax provision on its pre-tax income for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to the utilization of the net
operating loss carryovers. In addition, the Company will continue to evaluate
the realization of its deferred tax assets, which are currently offset by a
valuation allowance, on a quarterly basis.


NOTE E - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Total comprehensive income for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was
approximately $2.1 million. For the three month period ended March 31, 1999,
comprehensive loss approximated net loss.

NOTE F - TRANSACTIONS WITH SAGE, INC.

On July 27, 1999, the Company entered into a joint development and license
agreement with Sage, Inc. ("Sage") pursuant to which the Company licensed
certain video processing and image enhancement technologies to Sage for
incorporation into Sage chips. The Company and Sage concurrently entered into a
stock purchase agreement. In exchange for the license and a $500,000 cash
payment, Faroudja received 375,000 shares of Sage common stock. The value of the
license and technology transfer was determined to be $2.4 million and was
recognized as revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as the Company
completed all obligations under the technology transfer and joint development
agreement during the period. To the extent that Sage incorporates the Company's

<PAGE>

technology into Sage products, the Company is also entitled to receive royalties
on the sale of such products.

In February 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Sage for a
stock-for-stock merger, following which the Company would become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sage. Each share of Faroudja common stock will be converted into
0.285 shares of Sage common stock and Sage will assume all outstanding warrants
and options. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of
directors of both companies and is expected to close in the quarter ending June
30, 2000, subject to approval by each company's shareholders. The merger is
expected to be accounted for as a purchase transaction by Sage.

</TABLE>

<PAGE>

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were approximately $5.4 million, an
increase of approximately 122%, from total revenues of approximately $2.4
million for the first quarter of 1999. This increase was primarily attributable
to the recognition of $2.4 million of revenue relating to the Company's license
and joint development agreement with Sage.

Product sales for the first quarter of 2000 were $2.9 million, an increase of
20% over product sales in the first quarter of 1999. This increase was due to
higher sales of line multiplier products, first shipments of the Company's
new Digital Video Processor/Scaler, the DVP5000, and continuing sales of
Application Specific Integrated Circuit ("ASIC") products. The Company
expects sales of line multiplier products to remain at the first quarter
level or increase slightly in the second quarter of 2000.

Broadcast sales of Digital Format Translator-TM- products in the first quarter
of 2000 were consistent with first quarter 1999 sales levels and lower than
sales in the fourth quarter of 1999. This is due to seasonality in the broadcast
business and broadcasters' continued uncertainty about the Federal
Communications Commission digital TV standards and rollout deadlines. The
Company anticipates that sales of Broadcast products will increase slightly in
the second quarter of 2000 due to seasonality.

Sales of the Company's ASIC products rose in the first quarter of 2000 over the
first quarter of 1999 by approximately $190,000, primarily due to scheduled
shipments of ASIC chip sets for use by a customer in Asia. The Company continues
its efforts to develop its ASIC business, but it cannot predict when other
significant ASIC sales will occur.

In July 1999, the Company signed a license agreement whereby certain of the
Company's intellectual property was licensed to Sage, Inc. for incorporation
into Sage's ASIC products. The agreement provides that the Company will receive
royalties on the sale of any ASICs containing the Company's intellectual
property. Shipments of these ASICs are not expected to begin until the second
half of 2000.

In summary, the Company anticipates that revenues from product sales in the
second quarter of 2000 will remain at the same level or increase slightly over
revenues in the first quarter of 2000.

Sales outside the United States accounted for approximately 16% and 20% of net
product sales for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company
intends to pursue efforts to increase its export sales in the future, however,
there can be no assurance that any growth in export sales will be achieved. All
sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company's export sales are subject to
risk in the event of changes in currency exchange rates, which may result in the
Company's products being less price competitive.

The Company's gross margin on product sales was $1.6 million, or 56% for the
first quarter of 2000, compared to $0.9 million, or 35%, for the first quarter
of 1999. The improvement resulted from increased sales of the line multiplier
products introduced in the second quarter of 1999, which had higher gross
margins than the products they replaced, and from increased sales of ASIC
products with attractive margins.

<PAGE>

Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2000 increased by
approximately $0.2 million, or 14%, as compared to the same quarter of 1999. The
increase is mostly due to mask charges incurred by the Company for the
development of ASICs. The Company expects that research and development expenses
will increase in absolute dollars during the remaining quarters of fiscal 2000.

Sales and marketing expenses remained constant at $0.8 million for the first
quarter of 2000 and 1999. The Company expects that sales and marketing expenses
overall will remain constant or increase slightly during the remaining quarters
of fiscal 2000.

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2000 increased by
approximately $0.5 million or 70%, as compared to the same quarter of 1999.
Expenses for the first quarter increased primarily due to bonuses awarded to a
senior executive. The Company believes that general and administrative expenses
will decrease in absolute dollars during the remaining quarters of fiscal 2000.

Net interest and other income was $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2000 and
1999. The interest income is derived from investments in short-term, interest
bearing investment grade securities.


FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The Company designs and develops products that dramatically improve video image
quality, producing cinema quality images on a wide variety of displays. The
Company is recognized as a world leader in innovative high performance video
processing technologies for markets requiring superior image quality solutions.
These markets currently include HDTV broadcast and large screen home theater,
and are starting to expand into markets being created by new video display
devices such as digital televisions and flat panel displays, and markets
resulting from new applications such as PC/TV convergence. Due to the relative
size of the customers in some of these markets, particularly the broadcast and
PC/TV convergence markets, sales in any one market could fluctuate dramatically
on a quarter to quarter basis.

The Company's operating results have varied in the past and are likely to vary
significantly in the future from period to period as a result of a number of
factors, including the volume and timing of orders received during the period,
the amount and timing of license and royalty revenues, competitive products and
technologies, the timing of new product introductions by the Company and its
competitors, demand for, and market acceptance of, the Company's products,
product line maturation, the impact of price competition on the Company's
average selling prices, delays encountered by the Company's strategic partners,
the availability and pricing of components for the Company's products, changes
in product or distribution channel mix and product returns or price protection
charges from customers. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's control.
In addition, due to the short product life cycles that characterize the markets
for the Company's products, the Company's failure to introduce new, competitive
products consistently and in a timely manner, could materially adversely affect
operating results for one or more product cycles.


<PAGE>

The Company introduced its new family of Digital Format Translators in April
1998. There is no assurance as to the eventual demand for this product, the size
of the digital broadcast market, or that the digital broadcast market will
develop in the timeframe currently mandated by the Federal Communications
Commission.

The Company expects that a significant portion of its annual revenues and
profits in the future will depend on strategic relationships. The Company
depends on companies like Vidikron of America, Inc. ("Vidikron") to sell, and
Mitsubishi to manufacture, products that incorporate the Company's technology,
and a failure by these companies to do so will adversely affect the Company's
total revenues in the future.

The Company's success depends in part on its ability to enhance existing
products and introduce new high technology products. The Company must also bring
its products to market at competitive price levels. Unexpected changes in
technical standards, customer demand, pricing of competitive products and
bundling of competitive products as a part of a larger system sale (which is
increasingly common in the home theater and broadcast businesses) could
adversely affect the Company's operating results if the Company is unable to
effectively and timely respond to such changes. The industry is also dependent
to a large extent on proprietary intellectual property rights. From time to time
the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of
business, including claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks and
other intellectual property rights. Consequently, from time to time, the Company
will be required to prosecute or defend against alleged infringements of such
rights.

The Company intends to increase both engineering and sales and marketing efforts
in the design, development and sale of board and chip level products while
continuing the sale of stand-alone products for the high-end home theater,
industrial and broadcast markets. Consequently, without a corresponding increase
in revenues, net income will be adversely impacted.

The Company's success also depends to a significant extent upon the
contributions of key executive, sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing,
and administrative employees, and on the Company's ability to attract and retain
highly qualified personnel, who are in great demand. Unless personnel vacancies
are promptly filled, the loss of current key employees or the Company's
inability to attract and retain other qualified employees in the future could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.

Disclosures in this Form 10-Q regarding the Company's business are based on the
Company continuing as an independent entity. On February 18, 2000, the Company
and Sage, Inc. ("Sage") entered into a definitive agreement to merge the Company
into a wholly owned subsidiary of Sage. The agreement provides for each share of
Company common stock, $0.001 par value, to be converted into 0.285 shares of
Sage common stock. Sage will assume all outstanding options and warrants.
Completion of the merger requires the approval of the stockholders of Sage and
the stockholders of the Company and satisfaction of other conditions. Under the
merger agreement the Company is obligated to carry on its business in
substantially the same way it is currently being conducted. The agreement
contains customary provisions that significantly limit a variety of possible
company activities, such as


<PAGE>

entering into joint ventures or strategic partnerships or licensing any
technology, without Sage's consent. Among the risks that should be considered
are:

- -    There can be no assurance that the merger will be consummated.

- -    If the merger is not consummated there can be no assurance that the costs
     associated with the transaction and the management attention diverted to
     the transaction will not have a material adverse affect on the Company.

- -    If the merger is consummated there can be no assurance that the business
     and strategy of the combined entity will not differ materially from the
     current business of the Company or that the integration of the businesses
     of Sage and the Company will not have a material adverse effect on the
     combined entity.

- -    Because the exchange ratio is fixed, the market value of Company common
     stock may vary with the market value of Sage and be unrelated to the
     business, operations or prospects of the Company.

Successfully addressing the factors discussed which are subject to various risks
discussed in this report, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999, Sage's Registration Statement on Form S-4, Registration
No. 333-34812, and other Company SEC filings, as well as other factors which
generally affect the market for stocks of high technology companies, will affect
the price of the Company's stock and could cause such stock price to fluctuate
over relatively short periods of time.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $20.7 million of cash and cash
equivalents, and working capital of approximately $22.1 million.

The cash and cash equivalents are predominantly held in three types of cash
investments. These investments are obligations issued by U.S. federal agencies,
money market funds which subject the Company to limited interest rate or credit
risk, and commercial paper of U.S. corporations with A1/P1 credit ratings.

Cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2000
increased by $0.7 million from the balances at December 31, 1999. The
increase is mainly due to cash provided by operating activities of $0.6
million, from decrease in trade accounts receivable of $0.9 million, decrease
in inventories of $0.5 million, decrease in deferred revenue of $2.4 million
and an increase in other accrued liabilities of $0.8 million, offset by an
increase of prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.4 million and a
decrease of accrued compensation and benefits of $0.2 million.

The Company believes that current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to
fund its operations and meet anticipated capital requirements for at least the
next twelve months.

PART II.          OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In January 1997 the Company filed an action against DWIN Electronics, Inc.
("DWIN") seeking injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages for the
infringement of US Patent Number 4,876,596, referred to as the "596 Patent". The
action is Civil Action No. C-97 20010 SW (PVT) in the United States District
Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division. The 596 Patent was
issued on October 24, 1989, is owned by Yves Faroudja and is licensed to the
Company. DWIN raised defenses and counterclaims that the 596 Patent is invalid
and not infringed. They also sought to recover attorneys' fees and costs. The
Company amended its complaint to add claims of infringement of U.S. Patent
Number 4,998,287, referred to as the "287 Patent", on August 17, 1998. The 287
patent, which was issued on March 5, 1991, is owned by General Instrument
Corporation and licensed to the Company. On February 24, 1999, the court in the
DWIN action granted DWIN's motion for summary judgment as to the 596 Patent on
the basis of non-infringement. On March 13, 2000, the parties entered into an
agreement settling the action, subject to the court granting the Company's
unopposed motion to vacate the court's summary judgment order as to the 596
Patent. On March 24, 2000 the court granted the Company's motion to vacate the
summary judgment order and the case was dismissed.
