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.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2001
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information. The
information at January 31, 2001 and for the three months ended January 31, 2001
and 2000 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, 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) or 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
$0.5 million at both January 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000, respectively:
January 31, October 31,
2001 2000
----------- -----------
Purchased parts and subassemblies $ 430 $ 98
Work-in-process 264 314
Finished goods 2,565 827
----------- -----------
$ 3,259 $ 1,239
=========== ===========
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives
of the assets using both straight line and accelerated methods.
Production equipment 1-10 years
Office furniture 1-10 years
Leased property 15 years
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.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the 2001
presentation. None of such reclassifications are material to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

important technology is related to the processor used for TeleCLIENT.
During December 2000, the Company invested $2,000,000 in Ningbo China for

changed its method of accounting for this investment to the equity method.
During December 2000, the Company received approximately $960,000 from
Ningbo China. During January 2001, the Company received an additional $120,000
from Ningbo China.
Because TeleVideo has 30% interest in Ningbo and the technology provided
by the Company is not yet used, the Company decided that the income resulting
from the contract with Ningbo will be deferred until the technology is used.
3. LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
At January 31, 2001, the Company had no letters of credit agreements.
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.

Inc. (the "Company") by Choi, Cho & Ahn Accounting Corporation.
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 2001 were $1.5 million, same as
in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
Cost of sales was $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, same
as in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
With all the efforts and expenses made to penetrate new markets, the
Company failed to increase sales volume, and, as result, the net sales and cost
of sales kept the same structure and level in the first quarter of financial
year 2001, compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2000.
Sales and marketing expenses were $0.6 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001, compared with $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. As
a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 40% in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with 47% in the first quarter of fiscal
2000. The decrease is due to the close of three regional offices, in Georgia,
New Jersey and Texas. The Company decided to close these offices because no
improvement in sales activity was recorded after opening them.
Research and development expenses were $0.2 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001, same as in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
General and administrative expenses were $0.3 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001, compared with $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to
20% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with 33% in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction occurred in
salary expenses, by the decrease of the number of employee used in general and
administration activities.
The Company's loss from operations was approximately $1.0 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with approximately $1.2 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000.
Other income was $510,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, compared
with $260,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, an increase of $117,000. The
increase was due primarily to the sale of C-NET stock, and to the income
resulted from the sublease of a part of the Company headquarter space, beginning
from January 2001.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $0.5 million compared
with a net loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At January 31, 2001, the Company had $0.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents, a decrease of approximately $2.9 million over the same balances at
the end of fiscal 2000 of approximately $3.3 million. Net cash used in operating
activities increased from $0.5 million used in the three months
ended January 31, 2000 to $2.3 million used for the same period in fiscal 2001.
This increase is due primarily to the investment in Ningbo China, made in
December 2000.
In December 2000, the Company subleased a part of it's headquarter space.
The leasing agreement is for a period of three years, beginning January 2001,
and this will bring a monthly income of approximately $81,000. This sublease
will not affect the company manufacturing facilities.
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, 2001, compared
with $1.6 million at October 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 19%, while
net inventories were $3.3 million at January 31, 2001, as compared with $1.2
million at October 31, 2000, an increase of $2.1 million. The decrease in
accounts receivable reflects large collections in the first quarter of fiscal
2001. The increase in inventory reflects the purchase of additional terminal and
TeleCLIENT products during the quarter, and also the purchase of the inventory
of Mobile Electronics Division products, in total amount of over $1.0 million.
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.
INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
Investments in affiliates represent approximately 37% of the Company's
total assets at January 31, 2001. As a result, the Company's success will be
adversely affected if the investees fail to execute their business plans. If
there is an impairment in the carrying value of the affiliate investments the
Company will reduce the carrying of such investments.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As of January 31, 2001, 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.
