NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SGI and our wholly owned subsidiaries. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown herein are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts, due to such changes as the sale of our Alias application software business, which is reflected as a discontinued operation, a segments structure change and certain changes to current liabilities presentation, have been made on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year presentation.

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations during each of the past several fiscal years and had working capital of $57 million at September 24, 2004, down from $76 million at June 25, 2004. Our unrestricted cash and marketable investments at September 24, 2004 were $125 million, down from $157 million at June 25, 2004. While a forecast of future events is inherently uncertain, we believe that the combination of our current resources and cash expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our financial obligations through fiscal 2005.

We are committed to our goal of re-establishing profitable operations and positive cash flow. If we experience a material shortfall versus our plan for fiscal 2005, we expect to take all appropriate actions to ensure the continued operation of our business and to mitigate any negative impact on our profitability and cash reserves. We believe that we have a range of actions we can take to achieve this outcome, including but not limited to expense-related actions such as further reductions in headcount-related expenses and re-evaluation of our global distribution model. We also believe that we can take actions to generate cash by licensing intellectual property, seeking funding from marketing partners and key government customers, and seeking further equity or debt financing from strategic partners or financial sources. Beyond fiscal 2005, the adequacy of our resources will depend largely on our success in re-establishing profitable operations and positive operating cash flows. See “Risks That Affect Our Business.”

2. Stock-Based Compensation.

At September 24, 2004, we have stock based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have elected to use the intrinsic method under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), subsequently amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” to account for stock-based awards issued to employees under these plans, which, with the exception of restricted stock awards, generally results in no compensation expense. In net loss from continuing operations during the periods presented in the table below, we recorded compensation expense from restricted stock awards and from options to purchase approximately 150,000 shares issued prior to 2000 at values below the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net loss from continuing operations and net loss per share from continuing operations as if we had applied SFAS 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based awards issued to our employees:

Net loss per share from continuing operations—basic and diluted—pro forma	$	(0.11	)	$	(0.24	)

As a result of recent guidance from the Internal Revenue Service regarding certain employer tax reporting obligations, we amended our 1993 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan, 1996 Supplemental Non-Executive Equity Incentive Plan, 1985 Stock Incentive Plan and Amended and Restated 1989 Employee Benefit Stock Plan in November 2004 to allow, at the Compensation Committee’s discretion, the transfer of nonqualified stock options to, among other persons, an employee’s former spouse in connection with a divorce settlement.

3. Other Operating Expense.

As of September 24, 2004 we have substantially completed the execution of our fiscal 2000, fiscal 2001, fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003 restructuring plans, with the exception of certain severance obligations of our international subsidiaries and vacated leased facilities that have lease terms expiring through the end of fiscal 2010. Our obligations associated with these plans as of September 24, 2004 were approximately $5 million under the fiscal 2000 restructuring plan, $4 million under the fiscal 2001 restructuring plan, $0.5 million under the fiscal 2002 restructuring plan and $1 million under the fiscal 2003 restructuring plan. Facilities obligations noted above are net of aggregated estimated sublease income of approximately $3 million between the fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001 plans. Estimated sublease income associated with the fiscal 2002 and 2003 plans is negligible.

In an effort to reduce our operating expense and better align operating expenses with expected revenue levels, we announced and began to implement restructuring activities under the fiscal 2004 restructuring plan at the end of fiscal 2003 and continued these actions throughout fiscal 2004. Under the fiscal 2004 restructuring plan, we eliminated approximately 520 positions across all levels and functions and vacated approximately 100,000 square feet of sales and administrative facilities throughout the world, with lease terms expiring through fiscal 2007. As a result of the fiscal 2004 restructuring plan, we also agreed to sublease our Amphitheatre Technology Center campus in Mountain View, California and relocated our headquarters to our nearby Crittenden Technology Center campus by the end of fiscal 2004. Pursuant to SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, we are required to determine the fair value of future contractual obligations using our credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate at the point we cease to use the respective buildings. As such, we have discounted the future remaining obligations for each building, which approximate $18 million. On a quarterly basis, we are also required to accrete the discounted future obligations for the buildings up to their undiscounted value of $71 million from the respective cease-use dates to the end of the lease terms ending in fiscal 2013 using the effective interest model. Beginning in fiscal 2004, we began to record accretion expense, which will approximate $0.2 million to $10 million annually through fiscal 2013.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we recorded $3.6 million in Amphitheatre Technology Center-related expense. Our obligation associated with the fiscal 2004 restructuring plan as of September 24, 2004 included approximately $1 million in severance and related charges and approximately $45 million of vacated leased facility obligations, net of sublease income of $92 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we paid approximately $8 million in rent obligations and $0.1 million in severance and related charges for the restructuring plans of the prior years. We made an adjustment to decrease our estimate of severance and related charges associated with the fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003 restructuring by approximately $0.4 million, which reflected lower estimated costs. We also increased our severance related accruals associated with our fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003 restructuring plans by reclassifying approximately $0.3 million of a locally recorded liability related to restructuring actions that was previously included in other liabilities.

The remaining restructuring accrual balance of approximately $56 million at September 24, 2004 includes approximately $1 million in severance obligations and $55 million of facility-related liabilities, net of estimated sublease income of $95 million, the majority of which is contractual sublease income. Approximately $1 million in severance and related charges is expected to be paid by the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and approximately $55 million, net, of facility related liabilities will be paid through fiscal 2013.

The following table depicts the restructuring and impairment activity by plan during the first three months of fiscal 2005 (in thousands):

8. Financing Arrangement

We currently have an asset-based credit facility that matures in April 2005. This facility is also subject to acceleration upon various events of default. The facility is secured by U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable, U.S. inventory and equipment, the pledge of certain intellectual property and a $10 million cash deposit. Available credit under our asset-based credit facility is determined monthly based on 85% of eligible accounts receivable and an inventory collateral calculation based on the terms of the agreement. We have not used this facility for cash borrowings, but rather to support letters of credit, including letters of credit we are required to provide as security under certain lease obligations. We are currently using our full capacity under this line to secure $48 million in letters of credit. This obligation bears interest payable monthly at the prime rate plus 0.25% (5% at September 24, 2004) for cash advances and at 2.0% for letters of credit. We deposit additional cash collateral when the eligible accounts receivable and other collateral, which fluctuate within the quarter, are below the level needed to secure our letters of credit. The credit facility was secured by total cash collateral of $31 million and $16 milllion at September 24, 2004 and June 25, 2004, respectively, which is included as a component of Short-term Restricted Investments.

The credit facility contains financial and other covenants, including a quarterly minimum EBITDA covenant, a requirement to maintain a daily unrestricted cash balance of at least $50 million and limits on annual capital expenditures. Our credit facility also includes covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all our assets to, another person, to issue capital stock, to pay dividends on and redeem or repurchase our capital stock, or to prepay or repurchase subordinated debt. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and the fourth quarter of each of fiscal 2004 and 2003, we obtained a waiver of the EBITDA covenant and during the third quarter of fiscal 2004, we obtained a waiver of the minimum daily cash requirement. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, we also obtained a waiver for an administrative reporting requirement. On September 1, 2004, we amended the credit facility to, among other things, set forth the quarterly minimum EBITDA requirement for each remaining quarter through the end of the term of the facility. In the event we are not able to comply with or obtain a waiver of the financial and other covenants of this facility in the future, or there is a material adverse change affecting our ability to repay the outstanding balance, the facility may be declared to be in default. If a default is declared and not waived it could have a significant impact on our working capital. If the facility matures and is not renewed, we may not be able to obtain alternative sources of financing on acceptable terms. See “Risks That Affect Our Business” and “Financial Condition”.

9. Discontinued Operations

On June 15, 2004 we received $58.4 million in gross proceeds for the sale of our Alias application software business (“Alias”) to Accel-KKR, a technology-focused private equity investment firm and recorded a net gain of $50.5 million. As a result of this transaction, we have presented the operating results of Alias as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

In December 2003, we exchanged $224 million of newly issued 6.50% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Senior Secured Convertible Notes”) and $2 million of 11.75% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) for 98% of our existing 5.25% Senior Convertible Notes (the “2004 Senior Notes”). The Senior Secured Convertible Notes are convertible at the holders’ option into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.25 per share. The earliest our Senior Secured Convertible Notes are redeemable at our option is the beginning of December 2005. During calendar 2006, the Senior Secured Convertible Notes may be redeemed at our option at 100% of the principal amount if the closing price of our common stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price for the 20 consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the notice of redemption. Thereafter, the Senior Secured Convertible Notes may be redeemed at our option at 100% of the principal amount. The Senior Secured Notes are not convertible and are redeemable at our option at varying prices based on the year of redemption beginning in June 2004 at 104% of the principal amount. Both the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and the Senior Secured Notes are redeemable at the option of the holder in the event of the sale of all, or substantially all, of our common stock for consideration other than common stock traded on a U.S. exchange or approved for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market. In addition, the indentures governing the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and the Senior Secured Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue capital stock, pay dividends on and redeem or repurchase our capital stock, or prepay or repurchase subordinated debt. Both the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and the Senior Secured Notes are also secured by a junior priority security interest in those assets in which the lenders under our secured credit facility currently hold a senior priority security interest. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our secured credit facility.

The debt exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of the tendered debt and resulted in a non-cash loss of approximately $31 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, primarily representing the difference between the fair value of the new debt instruments and the net carrying value of the extinguished debt. The difference is treated as a premium on the new Senior Secured Convertible Notes and is being amortized as an offset to interest expense over the term of the Notes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, no debt conversions occurred and the unamortized premium was reduced by approximately $1 million due to regular amortization.

The remaining aggregate principal amount of 2004 Senior Notes, totaling approximately $4 million, which were not tendered for exchange as noted above was paid in full on September 1, 2004.

In connection with the fiscal 1996 acquisition of Cray Research, Inc., we assumed the 6.125% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2011. These debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $39.17 per share at any time prior to maturity and may be redeemed at our option at a price of 100% of the principal amount. Prior to our acquisition of Cray, Cray repurchased a portion of the debentures with a face value of $33 million. The repurchase satisfied the first six required annual sinking fund payments of approximately $6 million originally scheduled for

fiscal years 1997 through 2002. In fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, we repurchased additional portions of the debentures with a face value of $11 million and $15 million, respectively. These repurchases satisfied the next four required annual sinking fund payments of approximately $6 million originally scheduled for fiscal years 2003 through 2006. Remaining annual sinking fund payments of approximately $5 million in fiscal 2007 and approximately $6 million each from fiscal 2008 to 2010 are scheduled, with a final maturity payment of approximately $35 million in 2011.

11. Guarantees.

SGI, as the guarantor, enters into three types of guarantees, namely financial guarantees, performance guarantees and indemnifications.

Financial guarantees include contracts that contingently require us to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee based on changes in an underlying variable (e.g. a specified interest rate, security price or other variable) that is related to an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed party. Currently, we have issued financial guarantees: to cover rent on leased facilities and equipment; in favor of government authorities and certain other parties to cover liabilities associated with the importation of goods; and to support payments in advance of future delivery on our goods and services. The majority of our guarantees within this category have terms no greater than one year.

Performance guarantees include contracts that contingently require us to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee based on another entity’s failure to perform under an obligating agreement. We had no outstanding performance guarantees at September 24, 2004 that are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”.

Indemnifications include agreements that contingently require us to make payments to an indemnified party based on changes in an underlying variable (e.g. a specified interest rate, security price or other variable) that is related to an asset, liability, or an equity security of the indemnified party. Indemnifications include agreements to indemnify the guaranteed party for an adverse judgment in a lawsuit or the imposition of additional taxes due to either a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law. Currently, we have issued indemnifications to cover potential exposure related to the payment of additional taxes. The term of an indemnification is based on the length of time required to settle the dispute. Indemnification agreements excluded from the scope of the guarantees under discussion include agreements in favor of customers with respect to potential intellectual property or other liabilities since such indemnifications are considered a component of standard product warranties.

The following table discloses our obligations under guarantees as of September 24, 2004:

(In thousands)	Maximum Potential Amount of Future Payments		Assets Held as Collateral

14. Segment Information.

Effective for fiscal 2005, SGI has two reportable segments: Products and Global Services. We combined into one reportable segment titled “Products” our High-Performance Systems and Workstations reportable segments as well as our prior generations of workstations, graphics systems and high-performance servers previously included in “Other” in the reconciliation of reported revenue and operating profit. This change to reportable segments was made after reassessment of factors such as quantitative thresholds of business components to be included into reportable segments, customer base, economic characteristics, homogeneity of products, technology, delivery channels and other factors, and it aligns reportable segments with the process by which our Chief Executive Officer makes operating decisions and evaluates performance. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Products

Our Products segment is comprised of high-performance systems including our high-performance servers and integrated storage solutions, visual systems containing our workstations and graphics systems, and other products which include our prior generations of workstations, graphics systems and high-performance servers.

High-Performance Systems include the SGI® Altix® and Origin® families of high-performance servers and the SGI® InfiniteStorage line of storage solutions. Our High-Performance Systems are high-performance supercomputing systems designed for technical computing applications. Our High-Performance Systems are also used as storage management servers for managing very large data repositories that contain critical information and media servers for broadcast television applications. These products are distributed through our direct sales force, as well as through indirect channels including resellers and distributors.

Visual Systems include the Silicon Graphics® Tezro®, the Silicon Graphics Fuel® workstations and the SGI® Onyx® family of graphics systems. Our workstations are used in a variety of applications including computer-aided design, medical imaging, 2D and 3D animation, broadcast, modeling and simulation. Our graphics systems integrate high-performance computing, data management and high-performance visualization into a single system. These products are distributed through our direct sales force, as well as through indirect channels including resellers, distributors and system integraters.

Other Products represent prior generations and remarketed versions of workstations, graphics systems and high-performance servers that are remarketed through our remarketed products group.

Global Services

The Global Services segment supports our computer hardware and software products and provides professional services to help customers realize the full value of their information technology investments. Our Professional Services organization provides technology consulting, education and managed services and third-party products.

We evaluate each of these segments based on profit or loss from operations before interest and taxes.

Expenses for the research and development, sales and marketing, manufacturing, finance and administration are allocated to the reportable segments and are included in the results reported. Certain corporate-level revenue and expenses are not allocated and are included in “Other” in the reconciliation of reported revenue and operating profit. Such revenue is primarily comprised of revenue generated from our revenue hedge program, the purpose of which is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on revenue transactions recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, from software license revenue and from engineering service revenue.

We do not identify or allocate assets or depreciation by operating segment, nor do we evaluate segments on these criteria. Operating segments do not sell product to each other, and accordingly, there is no inter-segment revenue to be reported.

15. Legal Proceedings.

In June 2002, we reached an agreement to resolve the claims asserted in a lawsuit originally filed as Collette Sweeney v. Silicon Graphics, Inc. and Does 1-50, inclusive, CV 790199, on June 5, 2000 in the Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara, State of California, and later dismissed by the plaintiffs but refiled as a representative action under California Business and Professions Code section 17200 by the plaintiffs’ original counsel. The lawsuit asserts claims for violations of provisions of the California Labor Code and California Wage Orders. The settlement agreement outlined a process for identifying and resolving claims from members of the represented class. This process was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 and we expect the complaint will be dismissed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

In October 2002, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of our U.S. income tax returns for fiscal years ended 1996 through 1999 and proposed certain adjustments. In February 2004, we reached agreement regarding these adjustments and the final assessments were issued in September 2004. Our U.S. tax returns for fiscal years 2001 to 2004 are open and no adjustments have been proposed. In addition, we have open income tax, VAT and sales tax audits for years 1989 through 2003 in various foreign jurisdictions. We believe adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that have resulted or may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be

predicted with certainty. Should any issues addressed in our tax audits be resolved in a manner not consistent with our expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs.

SCO Group, the successor to AT&T as the owner of certain UNIX® system V intellectual property and as our licensor has publicly claimed that certain elements of the Linux® operating system infringe SCO Group’s intellectual property rights. In August 2003, we received a letter from SCO Group alleging that, as a result of our activities related to the Linux operating system, we are in breach of the fully paid license under which we distribute our IRIX® operating system. The letter purported to terminate our UNIX System V license effective October 14, 2003. We believe that the SCO Group’s allegations are without merit and that our fully paid license is non-terminable. There can be no assurance that this dispute with SCO Group will not escalate into litigation, which could have a material adverse effect upon SGI, or that SCO Group’s intellectual property claims, which include a widely-publicized litigation against IBM Corporation, will not impair the market acceptance of the Linux operating system.

In May 2001, a Brazilian court entered a judgment against our Brazilian subsidiary, Silicon Graphics Comercio e Serviços Limitada, with regard to a claim by Cargil Prolease against a third party for breach of an April 1997 lease agreement to which SGI’s subsidiary was a guarantor. We have appealed the judgment and expect the appeal to be heard in 2006.

We are currently involved in a dispute with a systems integrator regarding whether acceptance criteria were met with regard to an SGI system delivered in the spring of 2003. We are currently in discussions with the other party regarding the possible arbitration of the dispute. We cannot currently predict the outcome of this dispute; however, we do not expect it to have a material adverse impact on the Company.

We also routinely receive communications from third parties asserting patent or other rights covering our products and technologies. Based upon our evaluation, we may take no action or we may seek to obtain a license. We are in discussions with several parties that have asserted intellectual property infringement claims. There can be no assurance in any given case that a license will be available on terms we consider reasonable, or that litigation will not ensue.

We are not aware of any pending disputes, including those disputes and settlements described above, that would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include the payment of monetary damages, a cash or other settlement or an injunction prohibiting us from selling one or more products. If an unfavorable resolution were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations of the period in which the resolution occurs, or future periods.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

We are a leading provider of products and services for high-performance computing, storage and visualization. We sell highly scalable servers, advanced visualization systems, desktop workstations, storage solutions and a range of software products that enable our customers in the scientific, technical and creative communities to solve their most challenging problems and provide them with strategic and competitive advantage in their markets. We also offer a range of services and solutions, including professional services, customer support and education. These products and services target primarily five market segments: Defense and Security, Science and Research, Manufacturing, Energy, and Media.

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the past several years. The following overview describes key elements of our business strategy and our results achieved during fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005:

Leadership in high performance standards-based computer systems. We have over the past several years transitioned from a focus on systems based on our MIPS^® processors and IRIX operating system to a focus on systems based on industry-standard Intel^® Itanium^® processors and the Linux operating system. In fiscal 2004, for the first time, sales of our Itanium/Linux Altix server family exceeded those of our MIPS/IRIX Origin family. This trend accelerated in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, with Altix representing approximately 80% of total server revenue, and we expect the transition to continue, especially in light of the introduction in October 2004 of our first Itanium/Linux-based graphics systems. Our revenue growth prospects, and our ability to return to profitability, depend on our ability to grow the Itanium/Linux product families at a rate that will more than offset the expected continued decline of the MIPS/IRIX families.

Maintain gross margins to support R&D and other investments. Our strategy is to develop products that are differentiated, not just compatible, which requires continued substantial investments in research and development and permits us to achieve above-average gross margins for our industry. Our gross margin declined to 35.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 40.1% in the comparable prior year period, in significant part due to competitive pricing for shipments to a single customer that represented more than 10% of our total first quarter revenue. These large, high-visibility wins are important to our market position but can have material short-term effects on our gross margins. Maintaining acceptable gross margins will require achieving an overall revenue level adequate to absorb our fixed costs, striking the appropriate balance between these large lower-margin transactions and our more normal sales transactions, and working with suppliers to continue to structure favorable component pricing.

Building systems integrator and reseller channels. With our direct sales force focused on large transactions in our target markets, we are increasingly looking to resellers, systems integrators and OEM partners to add to our sales volumes and serve markets that we do not serve directly. Enhancing our reseller channels and systems integrator relationships are key strategies for us in fiscal 2005.

Managing expenses and cash. We continue to reduce our total operating expenses, with expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 declining 15% from the comparable prior year period, resulting principally from a 5% year-over-year headcount reduction and our corporate headquarters consolidation. Our unrestricted cash and equivalent balance was $125 million at the end of the first quarter, down from $157 million at fiscal year end in June. Our ability to maintain adequate cash levels will also be determined by our success in reducing our net losses and returning to profitability.

Results of Operations

The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The following tables and discussion present certain financial information on a comparative basis. Our Alias application software business was sold in June 2004 (see Note 9) and its operating results are excluded from continuing operations and are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this Form 10-Q.

Revenue

The following discussion of revenue is based on the results of our reportable segments as described in Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Total revenue is principally derived from two reportable segments: Products and Global Services. Effective for fiscal 2005, we combined into one reportable segment titled “Products” our High-Performance Systems and Workstations reportable segments as well as our prior generations of workstations, graphics systems and high-performance servers previously included in “Other” in the reconciliation of reported revenue and operating profit. This change was made to align reportable segments with the process by which management makes operating decisions and evaluates performance. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $27 million or 13% compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to declines in sales of our proprietary MIPS/IRIX-based products that more than offset growth in sales of our Intel/Linux-based Altix servers. See “Risks That Affect Our Business.”

The following table presents total revenue by reportable segment:

(Numbers may not add due to rounding)	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	September 24, 2004			September 26, 2003

High-Performance Systems	$	63		$	75
Visual Systems	20			29
Other Products	14			13
Total Products	$	97		$	117
% of total revenue	55		%	58		%

Global Services	$	78		$	85
% of total revenue	45		%	42		%

Products

Revenue from our Products segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 declined $20 million or 17% compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Our Products segment is comprised of high-performance systems including our high-performance servers and integrated storage solutions, visual systems containing our workstations and graphics systems, and other products which include our prior generations of workstations, graphics systems and high-performance servers. In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, shipments to a single customer represented more than 10% of total revenue.

Revenue from High-Performance Systems declined $12 million or 16% compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Year-over-year growth in sales of our Intel/Linux-based Altix servers was outpaced by the decline in sales of our proprietary MIPS/IRIX-based Origin servers. In addition, a shift in mix to lower-end configurations in each of the Altix, Origin and storage products resulted in lower average selling prices year-over-year which also contributed to the decrease in High-Performance Systems revenue.

Visual Systems revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $9 million, or 31% compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004, with declines in both workstations and graphics systems. The decrease in workstation revenue was primarily attributable to the continuing long-term decline in the overall UNIX workstation market, an industry-wide trend that we expect will continue as lower-cost personal computers continue to gain market share. Revenue from our workstations has declined steadily over the past few years as we discontinued several product families based upon both the MIPS and Pentium® III microprocessors and as our medical OEM business deteriorated. Reduced volumes of our Silicon Graphics® Octane® family of visual workstations, as we completed its end of life, and both reduced volumes and relatively unchanged average selling prices of the Fuel visual workstation were the primary contributors to the decline in workstation revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. These declines were offset in part by increased volumes and higher average selling prices associated with our Tezro visual workstation. The decline in our MIPS/IRIX-based graphics systems revenue was principally due to overall reduced volumes and a shift in mix from the high-end visualization systems to the lower-end visualization systems with a lower average selling price, despite an increase in the overall average selling prices of our graphics systems.

Revenue from Other Products increased $1 million or 8% compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004, primarily due to an increase in sales of remarketed Altix systems and prior generation graphics systems, offset in part by a decline in sales of remarketed prior generation workstations and Origin servers.

Global Services

Revenue from our Global Services segment is comprised of hardware and software support, maintenance and professional services. Global Services revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased $7 million, or 8% compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. This decline was primarily attributable to a reduction in our traditional customer support revenue that is being affected by lower selling prices for new contracts compared with existing contracts, coupled with a decline in the overall installed base reflecting both a decline in our existing install base as older systems are removed from the base as well as the impact to the install base from lower system sales volumes in recent periods. The decline in our traditional customer support revenue was partially offset by a slight increase in our Professional Services revenue, which includes revenue generated from the sale of SGI and third party product and SGI consulting and managed services.

Other Revenue

Other revenue is primarily comprised of revenue generated from our revenue hedge program, the purpose of which is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on revenue transactions recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, from software license revenue and from engineering service revenue. Other revenue for the first quarter of both fiscal 2005 and 2004 was negligible and is therefore not reflected in the table above.

Total revenue by geographic area was as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
Area	September 24, 2004				September 26, 2003

Americas	$	114	65	%	$	135	67	%
Europe	40		23	%	45		22	%
Rest of World	21		12	%	22		11	%
Total revenue	$	175			$	202

Our consolidated backlog at September 24, 2004 was $120 million, up slightly from $118 million at September 26, 2003. Backlog is comprised of committed purchase orders for products and professional services deliverable within three to nine months, depending on the product family. Backlog improved in both Rest of World and the Americas, specifically resulting from one large order in each region, offset in part by a decline in Europe. From a segment standpoint, backlog increased primarily within the Products segment, specifically the Altix product line (partially offset by a decline in Origin backlog), offset in part by a decline in backlog associated with our professional services business included in our Global Services segment.

Gross Profit Margin

Cost of product and other revenue includes costs related to product shipments, including materials, labor, overhead and other direct or allocated costs involved in their manufacture or delivery. Costs associated with engineering service revenue are included in cost of sales, unless the engineering service effort meets the criteria for government funded research, as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs”. If the contract meets the criteria for a government funded research arrangement, the costs to deliver the contract are included in research and development expense. Cost of service revenue includes all costs incurred in the support and maintenance of our products, as well as costs to deliver professional services including the costs associated with third-party products.

Overall gross profit margin declined from 40.1% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to 35.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Product and other gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased 7.7 percentage points compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Approximately half of the gross margin decline from the prior year resulted from shipments relating to a large configuration system to a single customer, representing more than 10% of our total first quarter revenue for fiscal 2005. As is typical with this type of sale, deeper discounting resulted in lower than average gross margins, offset to some extent by favorable component pricing applicable to this transaction. We expect to continue to generate significant revenue from high visibility customer accounts, which tend to carry lower than average gross margins and sales cycles that are difficult to forecast. We expect to continue to work with our suppliers to structure favorable component pricing to support these sales. The balance of the gross margin decline from the prior year was principally attributable to lower sales volumes, offset slightly by favorable manufacturing variances resulting from manufacturing efficiencies and procurement cost controls. Service gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 remained unchanged compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 despite declining revenue levels primarily due to overall cost control measures.

Operating Expenses

	Three Months Ended
(Dollars in millions)	September 24, 2004			September 26, 2003

% of total revenue	36		%	34		%
Other	$	3		$	24

Operating Expenses (excluding Other Operating Expense). Operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 declined 15% in absolute dollars, and as a percentage of total revenue from 50% to 49%, compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The decline in absolute dollars in all categories of operating expenses is primarily due to lower headcount as a result of restructuring activities and attrition and the impact of our overall expense control measures aimed at bringing operating expenses more in line with revenues. As a result of restructuring actions, total headcount at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005 declined by 142 or 5% compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.

Other Operating Expense. Other operating expense for the first three months of fiscal 2005 represents a $3 million charge and includes an accretion expense of approximately $4 million associated with our Mountain View, California headquarters relocation, partially offset by a $0.4 million adjustment to our severance and related charges obligation associated with one of our international subsidiaries. Other operating expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 represented a $24 million charge for estimated restructuring and asset impairments. Specifically, we recorded $15 million in severance and related costs and $9 million in costs associated with our headquarters relocation noted above. This relocation charge was comprised of $7 million in charges for vacated facilities and related charges and $2 million associated with the impairment of assets. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Other Operating Expense,” for further information regarding these activities.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest and other income (expense), net includes interest on our cash investments, interest expense, gains and losses on other investments, and other non-operating items. Interest and other income (expense), net improved from net expense of $7.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to net expense of $5.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Interest expense declined primarily due to a $1 million credit to interest expense related to the non-cash premium amortization on our 6.50% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (see Note 9). Interest expense for the first three months of fiscal 2004 also included $1.5 million of VAT related interest in one of our international subsidiaries. Miscellaneous (expense) income improved from net expense of $2.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to net expense of $1.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily due to a reduction in minority interest loss related to our equity interest in SGI Japan.

Taxes. Our net benefit for income taxes of $3.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 arose principally from a refund of U.S. income taxes paid in prior years, partially offset by net income taxes payable in foreign jurisdictions. Our net benefit for income taxes of $3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 arose principally from a reduction in foreign tax exposures and the refund of certain U.S. and state income taxes paid in prior years, partially offset by net income taxes payable in foreign jurisdictions.

Financial Condition

At September 24, 2004, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments totaled $125 million compared with $157 million at June 25, 2004. Also included in the balance sheet at September 24, 2004 and June 25, 2004 are approximately $38 million and $25 million, respectively, of restricted investments. Restricted investments consist of short- and long-term investments held under a security agreement or pledged as collateral against letters of credit.

Primarily as a result of net losses, operating activities from continuing operations used $8 million during the first three months of fiscal 2005 compared with using $36 million during the first three months of fiscal 2004. Net loss for each of the presented periods was adjusted for income or loss from discontinued operations in order to present cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations. We further adjusted net loss from continuing operations for the first three months of fiscal 2005 for $14 million in depreciation and amortization. Net loss from continuing operations for the first three months of fiscal 2004 was adjusted to remove the impact of $21 million in depreciation and amortization and $2 million in asset impairments associated with restructuring activities.

The negative operating cash flows from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were primarily a result of restructuring actions and declining revenue levels. Cash payments for severance and facilities obligations related to restructuring actions of the prior years totaled approximately $8 million. These restructuring actions are expected to result in additional future cash outlays of approximately $100 million, of which approximately $22 million are projected to occur in the last three quarters of fiscal 2005. In addition to the impact of restructuring actions, negative operating cash flows in the first three months of fiscal 2005 were primarily due to declining revenue levels which had a corresponding negative impact on our deferred revenue and an overall decline in our accounts receivable balances. Decreased accounts receivable balances were also attributable to increased focus on customer cash collections, customer lease funding and improved cash management programs that helped to improve our days sales outstanding from an average of 47 days in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to 39 days in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Investing activities, other than changes in available-for-sale and restricted investments, used $5 million in cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared with providing $4 million in cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Principal investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 consisted of a $2 million increase in residual value of products sold under certain sales-type lease arrangements and capital expenditures of $3 million. The principal source of cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was $11 million net cash proceeds received from the sale of our facility in Cortaillod, Switzerland.

The principal use of cash for financing activities during the first quarters of fiscal 2005 and 2004 included $8 and $4 million in debt payments, respectively. We repaid approximately $4 million of our Japanese yen fixed rate loan in first quarters of both fiscal 2005 and 2004, together with the remaining $4 million outstanding principal amount of our 5.25% Senior Convertible Notes on September 1, 2004.

At September 24, 2004, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents and unrestricted marketable investments of $125 million. Based on our revenue outlook for the second quarter ending December 24, 2004 and the timing of various future payments, we expect to continue to consume cash during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. We also experience significant intra-quarter fluctuations in our cash levels due to timing differences between our payments to vendors and our collections from customers, with the result that our cash balances are generally at their highest point at the end of each quarter and significantly lower at other times. As a result, we continue to focus on expense controls and working capital efficiencies to maintain adequate levels of unrestricted cash within each quarter.

The terms of our existing indebtedness may affect our operating flexibility, including our ability to raise additional capital if needed. We have an asset-based credit facility that matures in April 2005 that we use for the purpose of issuing letters of credit supporting certain lease obligations. The facility is secured by our U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable, U.S. inventory and equipment, certain intellectual property and $10 million cash collateral. We also deposit additional cash whenever eligible accounts receivable and other collateral fluctuate below the level needed to secure our letters of credit. At September 24, 2004, this facility was secured by a total of $31 million cash collateral. At September 24, 2004 we also have outstanding $191 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes and senior secured notes, both due in 2009 and $57 million aggregate principal amount of our convertible subordinated debentures due in 2011.

Covenants in the credit facility require us to maintain minimum levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, minimum cash and cash equivalents levels, and set maximum capital expenditure levels. The credit facility and the indentures governing the secured notes also contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue or pay dividends on capital stock, repurchase capital stock or prepay or repurchase subordinated debt. A failure to comply with these covenants could entitle the lender to accelerate the underlying obligations. On several occasions during fiscal 2004 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 we were in violation of financial and administrative covenants in the credit facility. In each case we received a waiver of compliance from the lender.

We are committed to our goal of re-establishing profitable operations and positive cash flow. While a forecast of future events is inherently uncertain, we believe that the combination of our current resources and cash expected to be generated from our fiscal 2005 financial plan will be sufficient to meet our financial obligations through fiscal 2005. If we experience a material shortfall versus our plan for fiscal 2005, we expect to take all appropriate actions to ensure the continuing operation of our business and to mitigate any negative impact on our profitability and cash reserves. We believe that we have a range of actions we can take to achieve this outcome, including but not limited to expense-related actions such as further reductions in headcount-related expenses, additional consolidation of administrative functions and re-evaluation of our global distribution model. We also believe that we can take actions to generate cash by licensing intellectual property, seeking funding from marketing partners and key government customers, and seeking further equity or debt financing from strategic partners or financial sources. Beyond fiscal 2005, the adequacy of our resources will depend largely on our success in re-establishing profitable operations and positive operating cash flows. See “Risks That Affect Our Business.”

As of September 24, 2004, future payments due under debt and lease obligations, including facilities vacated as part of our restructuring activities and excluding the benefit of sublease income on our vacated facilities, are as follows (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

SGI’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including: those related to customer programs and incentives; bad debts; inventory; lease residual values; warranty obligations; restructuring; incomes taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Management has discussed the development and selection of the following critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors and the audit committee has reviewed our disclosures relating to them.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For all of these policies, we caution that future events often do not develop exactly as forecasted, and that even the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Revenue Recognition. A majority of our revenue is derived from sales that are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Certain revenue is generated from contracts where we are obligated to deliver multiple products and/or services. In these instances, we must assess the arrangement to determine whether the elements of the arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes and if so, how the total contract price should be allocated among the elements and when revenue should be recognized for each element. We recognize revenue for delivered elements only when there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items and customer acceptance, if applicable, has been obtained. Allocation of the total contract price between each element of the arrangement may impact the timing of revenue recognition, but will not change the total revenue recognized on the contract.

Certain contracts involving multiple elements may be delivered over a longer duration of time. In these instances, we typically recognize revenue using the proportional performance method. In applying the proportional performance method, we recognize revenue as work progresses, based on the percentage that incurred costs to date bear to estimated total costs. We apply this method when we can obtain reasonably reliable estimates of contract costs. As work progresses on these contracts we adjust our cost estimates as the facts warrant. The profit on the contracts is subject to revision over the life of the contract. The impact of these revisions is recorded to revenue and cost of goods sold in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

Product Warranties. We provide for the estimated cost to warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship at the time revenue is recognized. We estimate our warranty obligation based on factors such as product lifecycle analysis and historical experience, and our estimate is affected by data such as product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. On a quarterly basis, these estimates are reviewed and adjusted as considered necessary based on the factors noted above. Over the past three years, changes in product warranties estimates have decreased the reserve by approximately $1 million in both fiscal 2002 and 2004 while increasing the reserve by approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 2003.

Manufacturing Inventory and Spare Parts. We write down our manufacturing inventory for estimated excess, obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value. At the end of each quarter, we perform an in depth excess and obsolete analysis of all manufacturing inventory parts on order and on hand based upon assumptions about future demand and current market conditions. For all spare parts on hand, our analysis is based on assumptions about product life cycles, historical usage, current production status and installed base. Additional adjustments to manufacturing inventory and parts may be required if actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by us during the analyses.

Lease Residual Values Effective beginning in the second half of fiscal 2004, we now retain a residual interest in the products sold under certain lease arrangements, representing the estimated fair market value of the equipment at the end of the lease term. The residual value is derived for each significant product family based upon the following factors: historical data regarding recovery of residual values; current assessment of market conditions for used equipment; and any forward-looking projections deemed significant, particularly those relating to upcoming technology or changing market conditions. Residual values are evaluated periodically to determine if other-than-temporary declines in estimated residual values are indicated. Any anticipated increase in future residual values is not recognized until the used equipment is remarketed. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates include: severe changes in the used equipment market and unforeseen changes in technology.

Bad Debts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. When we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to pay their outstanding obligation for reasons such as deterioration in their operating results or financial position or bankruptcy proceedings, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce their receivable to an amount we reasonably believe is collectible. If the financial condition of specific customers were to change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. We also record allowances for doubtful accounts for all other customers based on a variety of factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical experience. On a quarterly basis, these estimates are reviewed and adjusted as considered necessary based on the criteria noted above.

Restructuring. In recent fiscal years, we have recorded significant accruals in connection with our restructuring programs. These accruals include estimates of employee separation costs and the settlements of contractual obligations, including lease terminations resulting from our actions. Accruals associated with vacated facilities and related asset impairments are estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, respectively. Estimates may be adjusted upward or downward upon occurrence of a future triggering event. Triggering events may include, but are not limited to, changes in estimated time to sublease, sublease terms and sublease rates. Due to the extended contractual obligations of certain of these leases and the inherent volatility of commercial real estate markets, we expect to make future adjustments to these vacated facilities accruals. Over the past three years, various triggering events have caused our estimates to decrease by $4 million, $2 million and $13 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Income Taxes. Estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences and carryforwards. We regularly assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be

realized from recoverable income taxes or recovered from future taxable income based on the realization criteria set forth under SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and we record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe to be more likely than not realizable. In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

Loss Contingencies. We record an obligation for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods and there is a reasonable probability that the ultimate loss will differ from and perhaps exceed the recorded provision. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors that often depend on judgments about the outcome of pending lawsuits and potential actions by third parties including government agencies. Over the past two years, we have resolved lawsuits whereby the ultimate outcome caused us to partially reverse previously recorded contingent liabilities in the amount of $5 million and $9 million in fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Other Significant Accounting Policies. Other significant accounting policies not involving the same level of measurement uncertainties as those discussed above, are nevertheless important to an understanding of the financial statements. Policies regarding financial instruments, stock-based compensation and consolidation require difficult judgments on complex matters that are often subject to multiple sources of authoritative guidance. Certain of these matters are among topics currently under reexamination by accounting standards setters and regulators. Although no specific conclusions reached by these standards setters appear likely to cause a material change in our accounting policies, outcomes cannot be predicted with confidence.

Risks That Affect Our Business

SGI operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control.

Our success will require continued revenue growth from newer product families, including the SGI Altix product family. The SGI Altix family of servers and superclusters based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor and the Linux operating system was introduced in January 2003 and additional products in this line were added during fiscal 2004. In October 2004, we expanded our advanced graphics product line with the introduction of Silicon Graphics Prism™, visualization systems based on Linux, Itanium 2, and SGI’s scalable graphics technology. Risks associated with these new product lines include dependence on Intel in terms of price, supply, performance, product roadmaps and timely access to design specifications; the availability of Linux applications optimized for the 64-bit Itanium platform or our scalable systems architecture; acceptance of the Linux operating system in demanding environments; and competition from other suppliers of Intel-based servers, including clusters of low-end servers.

Our High-Performance Systems reported a 16% year over year decline in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, despite a doubling of our Altix revenue for the same period. Future revenue growth from our newer product families is especially important because revenues from our traditional MIPS and IRIX products and maintenance business have been declining at a faster rate than we have been able to increase sales of newer products. Our ability to achieve future revenue growth will depend significantly on the market success of these newer product families in servers, storage and visualization. If one or more of the product lines were to fail in the market, it could have an adverse effect on our business.

We are concentrating our R&D and marketing investments. As an increasing percentage of our R&D and marketing budget is devoted to potential growth areas, including the SGI Altix family, visualization and storage, a declining amount both in percentage and absolute terms is being devoted to the traditional MIPS and IRIX products, which continue to supply a significant portion of our revenue. Managing this transition without unduly compromising the competitiveness of the MIPS and IRIX family and the quality of support received by customers will be key to our success. There can be no assurance that this transition will not impair our customer relationships and our competitive position.

We have been incurring losses and consuming cash in our operations. We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations during each of the past several fiscal years. At September 24, 2004, our principal source of liquidity was unrestricted cash and marketable investments of $125 million, up from $111 million at September 26, 2003. We expect to continue to consume cash from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Due to the significant intra-quarter fluctuations in our cash levels that result from timing differences between our payments to vendors and our collections from customers, our cash levels tend to be at their highest at the end of the quarter. As a result, we continue to focus on expense controls and working capital efficiencies to maintain adequate cash levels. See “Financial Condition.”

The terms of our debt obligations may limit our ability to raise additional capital and may adversely affect our business. We have an asset-based credit facility and two series of outstanding secured notes that may be declared to be in default and accelerated if we fail to meet certain financial and other covenants. See “Financial Condition.” During the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and on several occasions during fiscal 2003 and 2004, we were in violation of financial or administrative covenants under the credit facility. Although in each case we received a waiver from the lender, there can be no assurance that such a waiver will be available on acceptable terms in the event of a future default. If a default is declared

and not waived or if the facility is not renewed when it matures in April 2005, we may not be able to obtain alternative sources of financing on acceptable terms. The need to comply with the terms of our debt obligations may also limit our ability to obtain additional financing and our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the industry.

In the future, we may need to obtain additional financing to fund our business or repay our debt, and we cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us. In addition, if funds are raised by incurring further debt, our operations and finances may become subject to further restrictions and we may be required to limit our service or product development activities or other operations, or otherwise modify our business strategy. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or if we issue equity derivative securities in connection with obtaining debt financing, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the common stock.

Our disclosure controls and procedures need improvement. Our independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, advised us in connection with the completion of their audit for fiscal 2004 that they had identified certain matters involving the operation of our internal controls that they consider to be a material weakness. See “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We are in the process of implementing changes to respond to these matters, as well as evaluating, documenting and testing our internal controls in anticipation of our required compliance at June 24, 2005 with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Until we effectively correct the identified material weakness, there could be a risk of accounting errors, which could have an adverse affect on our operations or financial results. There is no guarantee that the changes we implement will be effective.

We may become involved in intellectual property disputes. We routinely receive communications from third parties asserting patent or other rights covering our products and technologies. Based upon our evaluation, we may take no action or may seek to obtain a license. We are in discussions with several parties that have asserted intellectual property infringement claims. In any given case there is a risk that a license will not be available on terms that we consider reasonable, or that litigation will ensue. We expect that, as the number of hardware and software patents issued continues to increase, and as competition in the markets we address intensifies, the volume of these intellectual property claims will also increase.

In addition, our growing visibility as a supplier of Linux-based systems and as a participant in the open source software community increases our risk of becoming embroiled in the intellectual property disputes concerning these subjects, such as the current widely reported litigations between SCO Group on the one hand and IBM and Red Hat on the other. We received a notice from SCO Group purporting to terminate as of October 14, 2003 our fully paid license to certain UNIX operating system-related code, under which we distribute our IRIX operating system, on the basis that we have breached the terms of such license. We believe that the SCO Group’s allegations are without merit and that our fully paid license is non-terminable. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that this dispute with SCO Group will not escalate into litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on SGI, or that SCO Group’s intellectual property claims will not impair the market acceptance of the Linux operating system.

We are increasingly dependent on the technical cooperation of our partners. Our strategy of developing system products based on industry-standard technologies has increased our dependence on Intel and other partners. It is important that we receive appropriate technical cooperation from Intel and other partners, and that the products from these partners continue to evolve in ways that support the differentiation that we seek to bring to our products.

The competitiveness of our system products, particularly our servers, is also significantly affected by the availability on our platform of third-party software applications that are important to customers in our target markets. Over the last few years, SGI has made a strategic shift towards open standards and away from proprietary technology. Our ability to achieve success with our Linux-based products and services is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to: the growth of the Linux market, the acceptance of Linux solutions by customers in demanding environments, the availability of Linux applications optimized for the 64-bit Itanium platform or our scalable systems architecture and our dependence on acceptance of SGI-developed code by the Open Source Community and by Linux distributors with whom we partner.

Our dependence on third party partners and suppliers, including sole source suppliers, may prevent us from delivering an acceptable product on a timely basis. We rely on both single source and sole source suppliers for many of the components we use in our products. Our business is dependent on our ability to anticipate our needs for components and products and our suppliers’ ability to deliver such components and products in time to meet critical manufacturing and distribution schedules. In addition, we have benefited from favorable discounts on certain components from key suppliers for selected transactions. Our business could be adversely affected, for example, if Intel fails to meet product release schedules, if we experience supply constraints, if we fail to negotiate favorable pricing or if we experience any other interruption or delay in the supply chain which interferes with our ability to manufacture our products or manage our inventory levels. Risks also include limited bargaining flexibility and the possibility of charges for excess and obsolete inventory. We are currently focused on maximizing our working capital by working closely with our suppliers and tightly managing our overall supply chain.

We are dependent on sales to the U.S. government. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from sales to the U.S. government, either directly by us or through system integrators and other resellers. Sales to the government present risks in addition to those involved in sales to

commercial customers, including potential disruptions due to changes in appropriation and spending patterns. The U.S. government can typically terminate or modify its contracts with us at any time for its convenience. Any disruption or limitation in our ability to do business with the U.S. government could have an adverse impact on SGI.

A portion of our business requires security clearances from the U.S. government. We have implemented measures to maintain our clearances in light of the fact that our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert Bishop, is an Australian citizen. These arrangements are subject to periodic review by customer agencies and the Defense Security Service of the Department of Defense.

We expect our operating results to fluctuate for a variety of reasons. Our revenue and operating results may fluctuate for a number of reasons from period to period. Decreases in revenue can arise from any number of factors, including decreased demand, supply constraints, delays in the availability of new products, transit interruptions, overall economic conditions, competitive factors, military or terrorist actions, or natural disasters. Demand can also be adversely affected by concerns specifically associated with our financial health and by product and technology transition announcements by us or our competitors. The timing of customer acceptance of certain large-scale server products may also have a significant effect on periodic operating results. Margins are heavily influenced by revenue levels, mix considerations, including geographic concentrations, the mix of product and service revenue, industry price trends, competitive pricing pressures (particularly for high visibility accounts) and the mix of server and desktop product revenue as well as the mix of configurations within these product categories. As a result of the concentration of sales in the third month of each quarter, developments late in a quarter can have a significant impact on that period’s results.

Our typical concentration of sales at the end of our fiscal quarters makes period-to-period financial results less predictable. Over half of each quarter’s product revenue results from orders booked and shipped during the third month, and disproportionately in the latter half of that month. This makes the forecasting of revenue inherently uncertain and can produce pressure on the Company’s internal infrastructure during the third month of a quarter. Because we plan our operating expenses, many of which are relatively fixed in the short term, on expected revenue, even a relatively small revenue shortfall may cause a period’s results to be substantially below expectations.

We are subject to the risks of international operations. We generate a large portion of our revenue outside the United States, and as a result, our business is subject to the risks associated with doing business internationally. War, terrorism or public health issues in the regions of the world in which we do business have caused and may continue to cause damage or disruption to commerce by creating economic and political uncertainties. Such events could adversely affect our business in any number of ways, such as decreasing demand for our products, increasing our costs of operations, making it difficult to deliver products to customers, and causing delays and other problems in our supply chain. Our future revenue, gross margin, expenses and financial condition could also suffer due to other international factors, including but not limited to: changes in a country’s economic and labor conditions; currency fluctuations; changes in tax laws; changes in the regulatory or legal environment; difficulties associated with repatriating cash generated abroad; fluctuations in transportation costs; natural and medical disasters; and trade protection measures.

Many of our international sales require export licenses. Our sales to customers outside the United States are subject to U.S. export regulations. Sales of many of our high-end products require clearance and export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce under these regulations. Our international sales would be adversely affected if such regulations were tightened, or if they are not modified over time to reflect the increasing performance of our products.

The Swiss authorities have completed an initial investigation relating to compliance with Swiss export regulations in connection with exports from our Swiss manufacturing facility that was closed during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 resulting in no material adverse effect on the Company.

We may not be able to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis. Meeting our objectives for the future will require that our recently introduced products achieve success in the marketplace and that we succeed in the timely development and introduction of more successful new products. Product transitions are a recurring part of our business. A number of risks are inherent in this process.

The development of new technology and products is increasingly complex and uncertain, which increases the risk of delays. The introduction of new computer systems requires close collaboration and continued technological advancement involving multiple hardware and software design teams, internal manufacturing teams, outside suppliers of key components such as semiconductors and outsource manufacturing partners. The failure of any one of these elements could cause our products under development to fail to meet specifications or to miss the aggressive timetables that we establish. There is no assurance that development or acceptance of our new systems will not be affected by delays in this process.

Short product life cycles place a premium on our ability to manage the transition to new products. We often announce new products in the early part of a quarter while the product is in the final stages of development and testing, and seek to manufacture and ship the product in volume during the same quarter. Our results could be adversely affected by such factors as development delays, the release of products to manufacturing late in any quarter, quality or yield problems experienced by suppliers, variations in product costs and excess inventories of older products and components. In addition, some customers may delay purchasing existing products in anticipation of new product introductions.

Most products are upgraded during their product life cycle. The ability to upgrade products in a timely fashion is necessary to compete in the computer industry. Delay in introducing updates and upgrades can adversely affect acceptance and demand for product.

Downward fluctuations in the price of our common stock may cause our common stock to be delisted. During fiscal 2003 we were notified by the New York Stock Exchange that we were not in compliance with its requirement that listed securities trade at a minimum per share price of $1.00 averaged over a thirty day trading period. Our stock price subsequently increased to more than $1.00, but if it were to decline again and not recover, the NYSE could terminate the listing of our common stock. Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. As of October 22, 2004, the 52-week range for our stock price was $1.00 to $3.80. Declines in the price of our common stock may be caused by our failure to meet the investment community’s expectations for quarterly revenue or earnings or by broader market trends unrelated to our performance. Delisting would adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our common stock.

We operate in a highly competitive industry. The computer industry is highly competitive, with rapid technological advances and constantly improving price/performance. Most of our competitors have substantially greater technical, marketing and financial resources. They also generally have a larger installed base of customers and a wider range of available applications software. Competition may result in significant discounting and lower gross margins. In addition, as our Linux-based systems business grows, the number of our competitors may grow commensurate with the increased market opportunity. Specifically, certain PC vendors market products that can be clustered together to produce systems that compete with our mid-range products. These clustered systems may not be subject to U.S. export regulations, which may make them more attractive to certain international customers. See “Many of our international sales require export licenses.”

We may not be able to retain and attract qualified employees. Our success depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical, sales and marketing and management personnel. The uncertainties surrounding our business prospects and our continuing restructuring actions have increased the challenges of retaining world-class talent. We implemented further restructuring actions during fiscal 2003 and the first quarter of fiscal 2004. As we continue to work through the turnaround process, there is no guarantee that we will not lose highly qualified employees or that we will be able to hire highly qualified candidates as new skills are needed.

We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our net operating loss and credit carryforwards. We have generated a significant amount of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards due to prior period losses. U.S. and State income tax laws limit the amount of these carryforwards a company can utilize upon a greater than 50% cumulative shift of stock ownership over a three year period. The issuance of additional common stock, in financing transactions or on conversion of our outstanding convertible bonds such as the 2009 Senior Convertible Notes issued in December 2003, will count towards this cumulative ownership shift. There is a risk that our ability to use our existing carryforwards in the future could be limited and not available to offset income tax liabilities from future profits. This would have an effect on our cash balances and liquidity and would reduce our income after taxes. This would not affect our future effective tax rate since any affected loss and credit carryforwards have been subjected to a valuation allowance in prior periods.

Our business is subject to market risk. In the normal course of business, our financial position is routinely subjected to a variety of risks, including market risk associated with interest rate movements and currency rate movements on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities, as well as collectibility of accounts receivable. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures. As a result, we do not anticipate material losses in these areas.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The information required under this Item 3 is included in the section above entitled “Our Business is Subject to Market Risk” and should be read in connection with the information on market risk related to changes in interest rates and non-U.S. currency exchange rates in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 25, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Company management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, except as discussed below, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, the possibility of human error, judgments and assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, advised us in connection with the completion of their audit for fiscal 2004 that they had identified certain matters involving the operation of our internal controls that they consider to be a material weakness. A “material weakness” is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

SCO Group, the successor to AT&T as the owner of certain UNIX system V intellectual property and as our licensor, has publicly claimed that certain elements of the Linux operating system infringe SCO Group’s intellectual property rights. In August 2003, we received a letter from SCO Group alleging that, as a result of our activities related to the Linux operating system, we are in breach of the fully paid license under which we distribute our IRIX operating system. The letter purported to terminate our UNIX System V license effective October 14, 2003. We believe that the SCO Group’s allegations are without merit and that our fully paid license is non-terminable. There can be no assurance that this dispute with SCO Group will not escalate into litigation, which could have a material adverse effect upon SGI, or that SCO Group’s intellectual property claims, which include a widely-publicized litigation against IBM Corporation, will not impair the market acceptance of the Linux operating system.

We are not aware of any pending disputes, including those disputes and settlements described above, that would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainities, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include the payment of monetary damages, a cash or other settlement or an injunction prohibiting us from selling one or more products. If an unfavorable resolution were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations of the period in which the resolution occurs, or future periods.
