Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

      This Schedule 13E-3 contains and incorporates by reference certain forward-looking statements concerning TeleVideo’s financial position, business and future prospects. Because these forward-looking statements are being made in connection with a going private transaction, the safe harbor created by Section 21E of the Exchange Act does not apply to these statements. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future events and TeleVideo’s plans, goals and objectives. Such statements are generally accompanied by words such as “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” or similar terms. TeleVideo’s actual results may differ materially from such statements.

      Although TeleVideo believes that the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there cannot be any assurance that the results contemplated in such forward-looking statements will be realized. The inclusion of such forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by TeleVideo or any other person that the future events, plans or expectations contemplated by TeleVideo will be achieved. Except for TeleVideo’s ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, TeleVideo undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Schedule 13E-3 or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

TELEVIDEO, INC. ANNOUNCES
TERMINATION OF GOING-PRIVATE TRANSACTION

San Jose, CA – August 29, 2003 – TeleVideo, Inc. (OTC BB:TELV.OB), a developer and manufacturer of thin client hardware and software, reported today that the Board of Directors of TeleVideo has terminated its previously announced going-private transaction and merger agreement with Homebound Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation controlled by Dr. K. Philip Hwang (TeleVideo’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and majority stockholder). Under the terms of the merger, Homebound Acquisition, Inc. was to pay approximately $280,000 for all the outstanding shares of TeleVideo’s common stock (other than those shares beneficially owned by Dr. K. Philip Hwang and treasury shares).

Dr. Hwang said, “While the transaction is not going to be consummated, the Board of Directors feels that prospects are improving somewhat over the period since the time the agreements were negotiated. With increased revenues and the Company’s signing of two non-binding memorandums of understanding for strategic relationships with Asian electronics companies, the Board feels that the transaction is no longer in the best interest of the shareholders.”

Dr. Robert Larson, a director of TeleVideo, noted that “In spite of challenges related to the economy as a whole and sometimes difficult financial performance in recent years, we remain optimistic about TeleVideo’s future. We will continue to do our utmost to seek to maximize shareholder value by improving the TeleVideo business worldwide.”

TeleVideo will incur no extraordinary fees nor will it be obligated to make any payments to Homebound as a result of the termination of the merger agreement.
