Non cash investing/financing activities:

In December 1998, the Company sold its main facility (land and building) for
approximately $11.0 million and concurrently leased back this facility over a
15 year lease term expiring in December 2013. The land component has been
recorded as an operating leaseback. The building element has been accounted
for as a capital lease, whereby a leased building asset and capital lease
obligation were recorded at the fair value of approximately $6.27 million. As
a result of the sale for $11.0 million (which includes a $2.75 million note
receivable) a deferred gain of approximately $8.0 million was recorded. The
deferred gain attributable to the land element, which approximates $3.44
million, is being amortized over the 15 year lease life on a straight line
method. The deferred gain attributable to the building element, which
approximates $4.56 million, is being amortized over leased building asset
life, which has been determined to be the 15 year lease term, on a straight
line method.

The $2.75 million note receivable bears interest at 7.25% per annum.
Principal and accrued interest is payable in equal monthly installments of
$21,735 each on the first day of each month commencing on January 1, 1999. If
not earlier paid in full, any unpaid principal and all accrued interest is
due and payable to TeleVideo, Inc. on December 1, 2013.

   The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

                                  TELEVIDEO, INC.

            NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JANUARY 31, 2000

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     for interim financial information. The information at January 31, 2000 and
     for the three months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 include all
     adjustments that the management of the Company believes are necessary for
     fair presentation for the results of the periods presented.

     Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results
     for any future interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying
     financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with
     the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
     report on Form 10-K.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
     Company and its majority owned subsidiaries, after elimination of inter-
     company accounts and transactions. All of the Company's unconsolidated
     affiliates are accounted for using the equity or the cost method.

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting
     period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
     maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs are computed
     on a currently adjusted standard basis (which approximates average cost)
     for both finished goods and work-in-process and includes material, labor
     and manufacturing overhead costs. The cost of purchased parts is determined
     on a first-in, first-out basis. Amounts shown are net of reserves for
     obsolescence of $1.0 million at both January 31, 2000 and October 31, 1999,
     respectively:

     LOSS PER SHARE

     Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
     common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings per
     share is computed using the weighted average number of common and
     common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  287,250
     shares outstanding under various Incentive Stock option plans have
     been excluded from the computation as their effect is antidiultive.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the 2000
     presentation. None of such reclassifications are material to the
     financial statements taken as a whole.


2.   ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

     MYSIMON, INC.

     In September 1998, the Company invested in the online comparison
     shopping Internet company, mySimon, Inc., receiving convertible
     preferred stock. This investment represented an ownership interest of
     between 3% and 4% of mySimon, Inc. as of January 31, 2000.

     KORAM, INC.

     In February 1998, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Koram, Inc, a
     Korean restaurant venture. This investment is accounted for under the
     equity method of accounting.

     APPLIED PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

     On April 16, 1997, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase
     Agreement with Applied Photonics Technology, Inc. (APT), a California
     corporation, whereby the Company purchased a 30% interest in APT for
     $3.0 million.

     Founded in October 1996, APT is a developmental stage enterprise
     specializing in the development of electronics display technology. The
     anticipated markets for APT's outdoor media display

<PAGE>

     system include the billboard and illuminated sign markets, sports
     stadiums and arenas, transportation terminals, volume retailers and
     malls, and safety/public information displays.

     The Company accounts for its investment in APT using the equity method
     of accounting. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, the
     Company wrote off its equity investment, related goodwill, and note
     receivable of approximately $4.1 million.

     In December 1998, the Company loaned APT $176,000. This note bears
     interest at the rate of 10% per annum and was due on December 1, 1999.
     In September 1999, the Company loaned APT an additional $125,000. The
     $125,000 note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and was due on
     December 1, 1999. In September 1999, the Company entered into a
     consulting agreement with APT in which APT agreed to undertake two
     engineering development projects for the Company. The Company made an
     advance payment of $125,000 under the agreement, which is the entire
     amount of the Company's obligation. The Company wrote off the $426,000
     in loans and advances to APT as of October 31, 1999. The Company has not
     guaranteed any obligations of APT and has made no commitments to provide
     additional financial support to APT.

     As of March 14, 2000, the Company has not yet received payment on the
     $426,000 in notes and loans written off at October 31, 1999, nor has APT
     received their expected financing.

3.   LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

     The Company has one letter of credit agreement with its bank whereby the
     bank will issue up to a total of $1.0 million of standby and sight
     letters of credits. This agreement is contingent upon the Company
     maintaining time deposits at the bank as collateral in a total amount
     no less than the outstanding borrowings. At January 31, 2000, the
     Company had no letters of credit outstanding.

4.   SALE AND LEASEBACK OF BUILDING

     In December 1998, the Company sold its main facility (land and building)
     for approximately $11.0 million and concurrently leased back this facility
     over a 15 year lease term expiring in December 2013. The land component has
     been recorded as an operating leaseback. The building element has been
     accounted for as a capital lease, whereby a leased building asset and
     capital lease obligation were recorded at the fair value of approximately
     $6.27 million. As a result of the sale for $11.0 million (which includes a
     $2.75 million note receivable) a deferred gain of approximately $8.0
     million was recorded. The deferred gain attributable to the land element,
     which approximates $3.44 million, is being amortized over the 15 year lease
     life on a straight line method. The deferred gain attributable to the
     building element, which approximates $4.56 million, is being amortized over
     leased building asset life, which has been determined to be the 15 year
     lease term, on a straight line method.

     The $2.75 million note receivable bears interest at 7.25% per annum.
     Principal and accrued interest is payable in equal monthly
     installments of $21,735 each on the first day of each month commencing
     on January 1, 1999. If not earlier paid in full, any unpaid principal
     and all accrued interest is due and payable to TeleVideo, Inc. on
     December 1, 2013.

5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     MYSIMON, INC.

<PAGE>

     In September 1998, the Company invested in the online comparison shopping
     Internet company, mySimon, Inc., receiving convertible preferred stock.
     This investment represented an ownership interest of between 3% and 4% '
     of mySimon, Inc.

     On February 29, 2000, CNET Networks, Inc. (formerly, CNET, Inc.)
     completed the acquisition of mySimon, Inc. As a result of this
     acquisition, the Company expects to receive approximately 375,000 shares
     of common stock of CNET in exchange for 100% of its interest in mySimon.
     The Company is currently restricted from selling any of its interest in
     CNET until at least three days after the release of earnings for CNET
     for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

     MULIX, INC.

     On February 28, 2000, the Company purchased for $1 million in cash an
     aggregate of 14,269,230 shares of unregistered Series A Convertible
     Preferred Stock of Mulix, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Company's
     investment in Mulix represents a 35% interest in this privately-held
     corporation. The cash investment will be accounted for on the equity
     method of accounting. The purchase price and other terms of the
     investment were arrived at by negotiation between the Company and Mulix,
     with the per share price determined by the Mulix Board of Directors in
     good faith based on financial and business information and other relevant
     factors currently known to and considered by the Mulix board members. The
     purchase price was paid for out of the Company's working capital.

     Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of
     Mulix Common Stock, at the option of the Company. The Series A Preferred
     Stock is automatically convertible into Common Stock under certain
     circumstances, including a firm commitment underwritten public offering of
     Mulix Common Stock with proceeds, net of underwriter's fees, of not less
     than $15,000,000. Prior to conversion, the Series A Preferred Stock is
     entitled to one vote per share. In connection with the investment, the
     Company entered into a Voting Agreement with the founders of Mulix
     regarding board size and membership. Dr. K. Philip Hwang, the Company's
     Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has accepted an appointment
     to the Mulix Board of Directors, in accordance with the Voting Agreement.
     The three founders of Mulix constitute the remainder of the board.

     The Company has the right of first offer on future sales of Mulix equity
     securities, subject to certain exceptions such as issuances of stock or
     options under employee option plans.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were $1.5 million,
compared with $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of
$0.3 million, or 20%. The decrease in net sales reflects a decrease in sales
of monitors of $0.5 million from the year ago quarter, offset partially by
sales of TeleCLIENT products, which the Company introduced in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Cost of sales was $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
compared with $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of
$0.2 million, or 13%. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin was 7.8% in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared with 10.9% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999. The decrease, as a percentage of sales, primarily reflects
royalty expenses incurred by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2000
under the licensing agreement for the operating system software used in the
Company's TeleCLIENT products. In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the
Company accrued $192,000 in royalty expenses. In the first quarter of fiscal
1999, the Company did not incur any charge for royalty expenses.

     Sales and marketing expenses were $0.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000, compared with $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. As
a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses increased to 47% in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with 27% in the first quarter of fiscal
1999. The increase reflects the additional costs incurred in support of the
Company's launch of its TeleCLIENT product line, which occurred in April 1999.

     Research and development expenses were $0.2 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000, compared with $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, an
increase of $0.1 million. As a percentage of net sales, research and development
expenses increased to 13% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with 6%
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase represents increased costs
associated with the continued development of the Company's TeleCLIENT product
line.

     General and administrative expenses were $0.5 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000, compared with $0.3 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative
expenses increased to 33% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with
17% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase is due primarily to
lease expenses that the Company began making in fiscal 1999 in accordance
with the sale and leaseback of the Company's headquarters facility.
Additional details about the sale and leaseback transaction are contained in
"Liquidity and Capital Resources."

     The Company's loss from operations was approximately $1.2 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared with approximately $0.7 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Interest income, net of interest expense, was $134,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000, compared with $32,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
1999, an increase of $102,000. The increase reflects interest income resulting
from the $2.75 million, 7.25% promissory note that the Company received pursuant
to the sale of its building in December 1998, as well as to additional cash that
the Company had during the quarter due to the building sale.

     Other income was $124,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared
with $7,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, an increase of $117,000. The
increase was due primarily to the amortization of the deferred gain on the sale
of the Company's building.

<PAGE>

     Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $1.0 million compared
with a net loss of $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At January 31, 2000, the Company had $4.0 million in cash and cash
equivalents, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million over the same balances
at the end of fiscal 1999 of approximately $4.5 million. Net cash used in
operating activities improved from $1.7 million used in the three months
ended January 31, 1999 to $0.5 million used for the same period in fiscal
2000. In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company generated more cash
from the conversion of working capital items as compared with the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.

     In December 1998, the Company sold its 69,360 square foot headquarters
building in San Jose, California, including land and improvements, to TVCA,
LLC, an unaffiliated Delaware limited liability company ("TVCA") for $11.0
million. The nature of the consideration was $8.25 million in cash and a
$2.75 million promissory note. The note bears interest at 7.25% per annum.
Principal and accrued interest are payable in equal monthly installments of
$21,735 on the first day of each month, commencing January 1, 1999. If not
earlier paid in full, any unpaid principal and all accrued interest shall be
due and payable to TeleVideo, Inc. on December 1, 2013.

     In December 1998, the Company leased back this facility over a 15 year
lease term expiring in December 2013. The land component has been accounted
for as a capital lease, whereby a leased building asset and capital lease
obligation were recorded at the fair value of approximately $6.27 million. As
a result of the sale for $11.0 million, a deferred gain of approximately $8.0
million was recorded. The deferred gain attributable to the land element,
which approximates $3.44 million, is being amortized over the 15 year lease
life on a straight line method. The deferred gain attributable to the
building element, which approximates $4.56 million, is being amortized on a
straight line basis over the leased building asset life, which has been
determined to be the 15 year lease term.

     Net accounts receivable were $1.3 million at January 31, 2000, compared
with $1.5 million at October 31, 1999, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 13%,
while net inventories were $1.9 million at January 31, 2000, as compared with
$1.5 million at October 31, 1999, an increase of $0.4 million. The decrease
in accounts receivable reflects large collections in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 from three of the Company's largest customers. The increase in
inventory reflects the purchase of additional terminal and TeleCLIENT
products during the quarter. Working capital at the end of the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 was approximately $4.6 million, a decrease of 16% from the
fiscal 1999 year-end level of approximately $5.5 million.

     The Company believes that, with respect to its current operations, the
Company's cash balance of approximately $4.0 million at January 31, 2000, which
includes its $1.0 million certificate of deposit, plus revenues from operations
and other non-operating cash receipts, will be sufficient to meet the Company's
working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months.




<PAGE>

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

COMPETITIVE MARKETS

         The terminal market is intensely competitive. The principal elements of
competition are pricing, product quality and reliability, price/performance
characteristics, compatibility, marketing and distribution capability, service
and support, and reputation of the manufacturer. TeleVideo competes with a large
number of manufacturers, most of which have significantly greater financial,
marketing and technological resources than TeleVideo. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to continue to compete effectively.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

         The computer market is characterized by rapid technological change and
product obsolescence, often resulting in short product life cycles and rapid
price declines. The Company's success will continue to depend primarily on its
ability to continue to reduce costs through manufacturing efficiencies and price
negotiation with suppliers, the continued market acceptance of its existing
products and its ability to develop and introduce new products. There can be no
assurance that TeleVideo will successfully develop new products or that the new
products it develops will be introduced in a timely manner and receive
substantial market acceptance. There can also be no assurance that product
transitions will be managed in such a way to minimize inventory levels and
product obsolescence of discontinued products. The Company's operating results
could be adversely affected if TeleVideo is unable to manage all aspects of
product transitions successfully.

SINGLE SOURCED PRODUCTS

         The Company generally utilizes standard parts and components available
from multiple suppliers. However, certain parts and components used in the
Company's products are available from a single source. If, contrary to its
expectations, the Company is unable to obtain sufficient quantities of any
single-sourced components, the Company will experience delays in product
shipments.

RELIANCE ON FORECASTS

         The Company offers its products through various channels of
distribution. Changes in the financial condition of, or in the Company's
relationship with, its distributors could cause actual operating results to vary
from those expected. Also, the Company's customers generally order products on
an as-needed basis. Therefore, virtually all product shipments in a given fiscal
quarter result from orders received in that quarter. The Company anticipates
that the rate of new orders will vary significantly from month to month. The
Company's manufacturing plans and expenditure levels are based primarily on
sales forecasts. Consequently, if anticipated sales and shipments in any quarter
do not occur when expected, expenditure and inventory levels could be
disproportionately high and the Company's operating results for that quarter,
and potentially future quarters, would be adversely affected.

FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT STOCK PRICE

         The market price of TeleVideo's common stock could be subject to
fluctuations in response to quarter to quarter variations in operating results,
changes in analysts' earnings estimates, market conditions in the computer
technology industry, as well as general economic conditions and other factors
external to the Company.

FOREIGN CURRENCY AND POLITICAL RISK

         The Company markets its products worldwide. In addition, a large
portion of the Company's part and component manufacturing, along with key
suppliers, are located outside the United States. Accordingly, the Company's
future results could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including
without limitation, fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in a
specific country's or region's political or economic conditions, trade
protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, unexpected changes
in regulatory requirements and natural disasters.


ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

         As of January 31, 2000, the Company had a long-term note receivable
(the "Note") of $2.7 million. The Company received the Note, which bears
interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum, as partial consideration for the
sale of the Company's headquarters facility in December 1998. The interest rate
on the Note is fixed over the life of the Note, with principal and interest
payable in equal monthly installments of $21,735 each on the first day of each
month commencing on January 1, 1999. If not earlier paid in full, any unpaid
principal and all accrued interest shall be due and payable to TeleVideo, Inc.
on December 1, 2013.

         Because the interest rate on the Note is fixed for the term of the
Note, any change in interest rates would not affect the Company's earnings or
cash flows if it chose to hold onto the note, although a change in interest
rates could affect the market value of the Note if the Company chose to sell the
note prior to maturity.
