   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.

        In May 2001 the Company obtained a line of credit from Gem Management, a company owned by Gemma Hwang, the spouse of majority stockholder, in amount of $3.5 million, including $200,000 previously loaned. The Company can borrow money under this line of credit when needed, in order to assure the continuity of the operations. In consideration of Gem Management loan to the Company, the Company pleads and grants to Gem Management a secured interest in the following described property:

a)
       15,278 shares of the common stock of Xeline (Keyin Telecom);

b)    45,000 shares of the common stock of Biomax;

c)    285,714 shares of the common stock of Synertech;

d)    60% from the TeleVideo Ningbo China equity, equivalent to 60% of the outstanding shares of TeleVideo Ningbo China;

e)    any and all intellectual property of TeleVideo, including but not limited to patents, hardware and software engineering documents;

f)    any and all trademarks, trade names and intangible assets of TeleVideo. Under this line of credit, which bears interest equal with prime rate plus one percent, payable monthly, the Company received $200,000 in February, $300,000 in June, $500,000 in July, $500,000 in September, $500,000 in December 2001, $500,000 in April and $500,000 in October of 2002. In November 2001 the Company paid back approximately $500,000 from this loan by giving in exchange its interest in Alpha Technology and the proceeds from Koram investment. 

       
    In June 2002, due to the decrease recorded by the interest rate on the market, the interest rate for this note was changed from 8% to prime rate plus one percent. On March 3, 2003 the outstanding balance for this loan was approximately $2,517,000, and the interest rate was 5.25%.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2003

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, 2003 and for the three months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002 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 $0.8 million at both January 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002, respectively:

 
  January 31,
2003

  October 31,
2002

Purchased parts and subassemblies   $ 312   $ 252
Work-in-process     1,310     452
Finished goods     602     716
   
 
    $ 2,224   $ 1,420
   
 

 

        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 2003 presentation. None of such reclassifications are material to the financial statements taken as a whole.

2.    ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Equity Method

Mulix, Inc.

      On February 2000, the Company purchased for $1,000,000 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.

      Mulix was dissolved effective November 30, 2000. Thus, the entire investment of $1.0 million was written off as of October 31, 2000.

K&T Telecom, Inc.

      In July 2000, the Company purchased for $600,000 in cash an aggregate of 9,608 shares of stock of K&T Telecom, Inc. K&T Telecom, Inc. is a Korean company and its main activity is manufacturing telecommunication and electronics devices, including a hands-free accessory and collision sensors. The Company's investment in K&T Telecom, Inc. represents a 49% interest in this privately held corporation.

      If K&T Telecom, Inc. subsequently increases its capital, TeleVideo will be given the opportunity to participate in the stock issuance in order to maintain the percentage of stock currently held by TeleVideo.

      During the fiscal year 2002, due to the decrease of the fair market value of K&T Telecom investment, the Company decreased value of this investment on the financial statements from $274,230 to $209,176, proportionally with its interest in this company.

      Based upon the financial results and prospects for recovery of its investment the Company is contemplating withdrawal from the joint venture.

Alpha Technology, Inc.

      In August 2000, the Company purchased for $650,000 in cash an aggregate of 9,608 shares of stock of Alpha Technology, Inc. Alpha Technology, Inc. is a Korean company, manufacturing electronic and car accessories, including two-way car alarm systems. The Company's investment in Alpha Technology, Inc. represents a 49% interest in this privately held corporation.

      TeleVideo has the right to participate in future sales of Alpha Technology, Inc. securities to maintain its proportionate interest in this company. If Alpha Technology, Inc. increases its capital thereafter, TeleVideo will be given the opportunity to participate in the stock issuance in order to maintain the percentage of stock held currently by TeleVideo.

      In the fiscal year 2001, due to the decrease of the fair market value of Alpha Technology investment, the Company adjusted the carrying value of this investment on the financial statements from $600,000 to $418,033. In November 2001, the Company decided to withdraw from this joint venture, and to sell its interest in Alpha Technology to Gem Management, a company owned by Dr. Hwang's wife, Gemma Hwang. In exchange for the 9,608 shares of Alpha Technology, the amount of approximately $418,000 (the value of transaction and the book value of Alpha Technology investment as of July 31, 2001) will be deducted from the Note Payable owed by TeleVideo to Gem Management. Before the transaction, the Company owed to Gem Management $1.5 million, bearing an annual interest of 8%.

Ningbo China

      In October 2000, the Company invested $1,000,000 in Televideo (China) Co., Ltd. (Ningbo China) for a 10% interest. The Company has agreed to invest an additional $2,000,000 in December 2000. The total investment will represent a 30% interest in this company, which will manufacture computer terminals and monitors.

  The investment agreement also provides for the use of TeleVideo's technical production skill for terminal products. For the use of this technology Ningbo China will pay the Company $2.5 million dollars over two years as follows: $1.2 million is to be received in December 2000 and the remaining $1.3 million in two installments of $650,000 in June 2001 and June 2002. This investment will give Ningbo China the right to use our technology and we will provide professional training for the use of this technology. The most important technology is related to the processor used for TeleClient.

      During December 2000, the Company invested $2,000,000 in Ningbo China for an additional 20% ownership interest. Accordingly in December 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for this investment to the equity method. No difference in the value of this investment was recorded as result of the change from the cost accounting method to the equity accounting method.

      During December 2000, the Company received approximately $1,000,000 from Ningbo China. In January 2001 and April 2001, the Company received additional $120,000 and $200,000, respectively. The difference up to $1,400,000 was expensed as government and transfer fees. The Company agreed with Ningbo to reschedule the payment for the remaining amount of $1,100,000 as follows: $150,000 to be paid in June 2002, $250,000 to be paid in September 2002, $300,000 to be paid in December 2002 and $400,000 to be paid by March 31, 2003.

      In the third quarter of fiscal 2001, because a couple of investors have withdrawn from this joint venture, the capital of Ningbo decreased to around $5.0 million, from an initial amount of 10.0 million. Due to this fact, the Chinese government asked Ningbo to change the initial agreement with TeleVideo and to record the payments made by Ningbo to TeleVideo as withdrawals of a portion of its investment, instead of payments for the technology and training. The Company agreed with this change, and, consequently, we reduced the amount showed as investment on the financial statements from $3.0 million to $1.7 million.

      Due to the decrease of the fair market value of the Ningbo investment, the Company adjusted the carrying value of this investment on the financial statements from $1.7 million to $0.7 million, proportionally with its interest in this company. Also, as result of the withdrawn of a couple of the investors from this joint venture, the Company's interest in Ningbo has increased from 30% to 60%.

Cost Method

mySimon, Inc.

      In September 1998, the Company invested $1 million in the online comparison shopping Internet company, mySimon, Inc., receiving convertible preferred stock.

      On February 29, 2000, CNET Networks, Inc. (formerly, CNET, Inc. or "CNET") completed the acquisition of mySimon, Inc. As a result of this acquisition, the Company received 375,108 shares of common stock of CNET in exchange for 100% of its interest in mySimon, Inc. During same period of time, the Company also adjusted its balance sheet to reflect the conversion to a marketable security. The cost method used to book the investment in mySimon was changed to market value method in accordance with SFAS 115 to record the investment in CNET stock.

      During the fiscal year 2000 and 2001, the Company recognized gains from the sales of CNET stocks of $10.1 million and $0.3 million respectively.

      On March 3, 2003, the Company owned approximately 32,500 shares of CNET common stock and the market value was approximately $2.04 per share.

Koram, Inc.

      In February 1998, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Koram, Inc, a Korean restaurant venture. During 2000, the Company decided to discontinue its participation in this joint venture. The Company's venture partner agreed to transfer the funds for our participation into the TeleVideo account when the exchange rate Korean Won and US Dollar will be the most advantageous. Also, the Company changed its method of accounting for this investment to cost method. No difference in the value of this investment was recorded as result of the change from the equity accounting method to the cost accounting method.

      In November 2001, the Company decided to pay back a portion from the Gem Management's loan with the funds deposited in Korea, which were in a total amount of approximately $64,000. Before the transaction, the Company owed Gem Management $1.5 million, bearing an annual interest of 8%.

Biomax Co, Ltd.

      On May 12, 2000, the Company purchased for a cash investment of $917,431 an aggregate of 45,000 ordinary shares of Biomax Co., Ltd. ("Biomax"). Biomax is a startup company, with its principal offices located in Seoul, Korea, engaged in developing an herbal product to help lower cholesterol levels in humans. Its existing technology was developed by and obtained from the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology. The Company's investment in Biomax represents a 15% interest in this privately held corporation.

      The agreement gives the Company the right to nominate one member to the Biomax Board of Directors. Dr. K. Philip Hwang, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, was nominated and elected to the Biomax board.

      The Company has the right to participate in future sales of Biomax securities to maintain its proportionate interest in Biomax. In the event the Company wants to sell all or a portion of its shares, it has given Biomax and Biomax's President, who is its controlling shareholder, a right of first refusal to purchase the shares. The controlling shareholder also must obtain the Company's prior written consent in order to sell over 10% of Biomax.

      Biomax also agreed to discuss with the Company certain specified kinds of events and transactions that could materially impact Biomax's business, capital structure and financial condition. The agreement further prohibits Biomax from sharing its technology with third parties or assisting with research and development efforts of third parties without the prior written consent of the Company, other than in the normal course of business, and further prohibits the controlling shareholder from engaging in businesses that could compete with Biomax. The restrictions and promises in the agreement will terminate at such time as the Company has sold at least 70% of the shares it acquired under the agreement.

      During the fiscal 2002, due to the decrease of the fair market value of Biomax investment, the Company adjusted the carrying value of this investment on the financial statements from $115,978 to $110,765, proportionally with its interest in this company.

Xeline (Keyin) Telecom Co. Ltd.

      On May 12, 2000, the Company purchased for $2,522,972 an aggregate of 15,278 ordinary shares of Xeline (Keyin) Telecom Co. Ltd. ("Xeline"). Xeline is a private company located in Seoul, Korea, which is engaged in developing power line technology for electricity transportation. The Company's investment in Xeline represents a 5.75% interest in this corporation.

      The Company has the right to participate in future sales of Xeline securities to maintain its proportionate interest in Xeline. In the event the Company wants to sell all or a portion of its shares, it has given Xeline and its controlling shareholder, who is also its President and Chief Executive Officer, a right of first refusal to purchase the shares.

      Xeline also agreed to keep the Company expressly advised regarding certain specified kinds of events and transactions that could materially impact Xeline's business, capital structure and financial condition. Xeline has agreed that it will not transfer its power line communications ("PLC") technology to a third party without the prior written consent of the Company, except in the context of a strategic technology transfer agreement approved by the Xeline Board. The restrictions and promises in the agreement will terminate at such time as the Company has sold at least 70% of the shares it acquired under the agreement.

      The investment agreement also contemplates that TeleVideo will participate in a strategic alliance with Xeline under the terms of which TeleVideo will support Xeline in its overseas marketing and sales activities related to Xeline's PLC technology. In addition, TeleVideo and Xeline will cooperate to incorporate Xeline's PLC technology into TeleVideo's computer products, including the Tele-Client series. The parties contemplate entering into a separate sale and marketing agreement to more fully document the terms and conditions of the strategic relationship.

      During the fiscal year 2002, due to the decrease of the fair market value of Xeline investment, the Company adjusted the carrying value of this investment on the financial statements from $308,755 to $199,890 proportionally with its interest in this company.

MultiMedia SOC, Inc. (formerly described as Synertek, Inc.)

      In June 2000, the Company purchased for $1,000,000 in cash an aggregate of 285,714 shares of common stock of MultiMedia SOC, Inc. (formerly described as Synertek, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, representing an 8% interest in this company.

      During the fiscal years 2001 and 2002, due to the decrease of the fair market value of the MultMedia investment, the Company adjusted the carrying value of this investment on the financial statements from $211,528 to $153,689, proportionally with its interest in this company.

3.    LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

At January 31, 2003, 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.

        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.

        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 with a monthly rent amount of approximately $81,000. This sublease will not affect the Company's manufacturing facilities.

        Under the lease agreement, the sublessee is required to open a standby letter of credit in the TeleVideo favor in amount of $500,000. The letter of credit has an initial term of one year, beginning January 2001, and this term was automatically extended until the end of the leasing contract, which is January 10, 2004.

5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       On February 14, 2003 the Company filed with SEC an amendment to the Schedule 13E3 filed on December 12, 2002, and an amendment to the Schedule 14C filed on December 12, 2002,  regarding going private transaction.

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 2003 were $1.7 million, compared with $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, an increase of $0.2 million, or 13%. The increase is due in principal to the increase in demand for the TeleClient flat panel models.

        Cost of sales was $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared with $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. As percent of total sales, cost of sales was 82% in the first quarter of 2003, compared with 73% in the first quarter of 2002. This increase is due in principal to the increase recorded in the cost of some components of our products, during the year 2002.

        Sales and marketing expenses were $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared with $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared with 27% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in marketing expenses has occurred as result of the decrease in advertising expenses.

        Research and development expenses were $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, same as in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. 

        General and administrative expenses were $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, same as in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 24% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared with 27% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease is due primarily to the increase recorded in total sales.

        The Company's loss from operations was approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, same as in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

        Other income was $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, same as in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

        Net loss for the first quarters of fiscal 2003 was $0.2 million, same as in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At January 31, 2003, the Company had $0.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $0.9 million at the end of fiscal 2002. The decrease is due in principal to the increase in inventory value of approximately $0.8 million, partially offset by the decrease in accounts receivable in amount of approximately $0.6 million. Net cash used in operating activities decreased from $0.3 million used in the three months ended January 31, 2002 to $0.1 million used for the same period in fiscal 2003.

        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.

        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 with a monthly rent amount of approximately $81,000. This sublease will not affect the Company's manufacturing facilities.

        Under the lease agreement, the sublessee is required to open a standby letter of credit in the TeleVideo favor in amount of $500,000. The letter of credit has an initial term of one year, beginning January 2001, and this term will be automatically extended until the end of the leasing contract, which is January 10, 2004.

        Net accounts receivable were $1.0 million at January 31, 2003, compared with $1.6 million at October 31, 2002, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 38%, while net inventories were $2.2 million at January 31, 2003, as compared with $1.4 million at October 31, 2002, an increase of $0.8 million, or 57%. The decrease in accounts receivable reflects large collections in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared with lower sales volume. The increase in inventory reflects the purchase of additional terminal and TeleCLIENT products during the quarter, and to the lower than expected sales volume recorded for these products.

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 11% of the Company's total assets at January 31, 2003. 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.

    The Company is subject to market risk for changes in interest rates, because its line of credit with Gem Management has a variable interest rate, equal with Wall Street prime rate published at beginning of each month, plus one percent. Anyway, the Company could renegotiate its agreement with Gem Management, regarding the interest rate, as it happened in fiscal 2002, but the success of these negotiations can not be assured. The market risk for changes in interest rate for the Company's investments is not significant because these investments are limited to highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less. At January 31, 2003, the Company has approximately $0.7 million classified as cash and cash equivalents.

      The Company is also subject to equity price risk related to its investments in marketable securities. At October 31, 2002, the Company owned approximately 32,508 shares of CNET common stock. As of October 31, 2002, the estimated fair value of these marketable securities was approximately $64,000. All of the Company's transactions with international customers and suppliers are denominated in US dollars.

     As of January 31, 2003, 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.
