CRAY COMPUTER CORPORATION (Debtor in Possession) Notes to Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) (1) Bankruptcy Filing and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation --------------------------------------------------------------- The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. Generally accepted accounting principles require the adjustment of assets and liabilities to estimated net realizable value under the liquidation basis. Accordingly, the statements of deficiency in net assets available in liquidation at September 30, 1995 reflect assets and liabilities on this basis. The Company announced that it would begin selling all or most of its assets for the benefit of the Company's creditors and shareholders. However, management does not believe that a liquidating distribution to shareholders is likely. (See Note 13 - Other Subsequent Events.) The Company is currently finalizing a Chapter 11 Liquidating Plan (the "Plan") Once the Plan is finalized, it will be mailed to all known creditors, shareholders, and other party in interest to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan. The Plan proposes that a Trustee will be appointed to manage and dispose of the balance of the assets of the Estate on behalf of the Company. Allowed priority claims shall be paid in full on the Effective Date. Allowed unsecured claims shall be paid in full on the Effective Date, provided sufficient cash is available. To the extent there is insufficient cash available on the Effective Date to pay all allowed unsecured claims in full, the holders of allowed unsecured claims shall be paid on a Pro Rata Basis. Subsequent distribution(s) to the holders of allowed unsecured claims will be made to the extent additional cash becomes available until such time as all allowed unsecured claims are paid in full. Equity security holders shall receive pro rate distribution of available cash remaining, if any, after full payment to the classes of Allowed Claims as provided under the Plan. The Company's management believes that any liquidating distribution to shareholders is unlikely. The Effective Date of the Plan means the first business day which is 15 days after the entry of a Bankruptcy Court order confirming the Plan which is no longer subject to appeal, review, or certiorari proceedings. On March 24, 1995 Cray Computer Corporation (the "Company") filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy 6
10-Q7th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado (the "Court") after the Company determined it would be unable to complete a planned private placement of up to $25 million of Common Stock with foreign and United States institutional investors, and the Company ceased to have liquid assets which would allow it to continue in operations. The Company is managed under the director of its Board of Directors, who have served both prior to and during the Chapter 11 case. The executive officers who have remained with the Company since the filing of the Chapter 11 case, in addition to Seymour R. Cray as the Chief Executive Officer, are Terry A. Willkom, President and Chief Operating Officer and William G. Skolout, Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Messrs,. Willkom and Skolout are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company and have undertaken primary responsibility for the investigations and negotiations pertaining to the marketing and sale of the Company's business and its assets. The terms of the Company's secured debt financing provided for certain events of default. The Filing of Bankruptcy is stated in the loan agreement to be an event of default. No additional debt financing is currently available under the secured line of credit and under the terms of the debt agreement repayment of such debt is required. The lender is subject under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to an automatic stay against any action against the Company or its assets to collect its debt without prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company does not believe that the Filing of Bankruptcy is an event of default. The Bankruptcy Code requires the Company to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval or the consent of the secured creditor to use cash and other liquid assets on which the creditor holds a lien ("Cash Collateral"). On May 5, 1995, the Company filed a Motion for Authorization to Use Cash Collateral in which Congress claimed a security interest. As a result of discussions between the Company, Congress, and the Creditors Committee, a stipulation was reached in which Congress allowed the Company, on an interim basis, to utilize the cash which the Company held (or would receive as a result of collection of outstanding receivables) to fund the Company's reorganization efforts. Seymour R. Cray, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is the designed of the CRAY-3 and CRAY-4 supercomputer systems. Mr. Cray devoted his full working time to the Company since its inception until after the petition was filed and has continued to render services since that date. Mr. Cray serves as an independent contractor to the Company under a Design and Development Agreement, which is similar to his prior agreement with CRI from 1981 to 1989, and with the Company from 1989 to 1992, and has a term expiring in June 1997. Mr. Cray has waived all 7
10-Q8th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
compensation under this Agreement since March 24, 1995. This Agreement provides for the early termination in the event that the Company discontinues development funding for the CRAY-4 or for future systems or limits or terminates agreed upon production of the CRAY-4 or for future systems. In such event, Mr. Cray retains the option to continue development and production of the project, subject, however, to the prior consent by the Company's asset based secured lender, as long as its loan agreement with the Company remains in effect. The Company believes that it has paid substantially all of the monies owed to the secured lender. In August 1994, the Company and the National Security Agency (NSA) entered into a cost sharing development contract for the Company to produce a CRAY-3/SSS. The contract provided that the Company may be paid up to $4.2 million for development costs. The Company has cumulatively invoiced NSA for approximately $2.6 million under the contract and no receivables are currently outstanding. No additional amounts will be billed under the contract. The Company is reviewing the terms and conditions of the above contracts, and all other executory contracts and unexpired leases, with their respective non-debtor parties regarding assumption or rejection decisions. In addition, the Company has received proposals for the purchase of its patent and other intellectual property assets. As of the petition date, payment of liabilities to unsecured creditors, including trade unsecured creditors and secured note holders, are stayed while the Company is a Debtor in Possession. Depending on the ultimate outcome of the Company's bankruptcy proceeding, the Company's ability to utilize its Federal income tax net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be further restricted or eliminated. See Notes 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 for matters that are or may be significantly impacted by the bankruptcy filing. Cray Research, Inc., (CRI) distributed 90 percent of the then outstanding shares of Cray Computer Corporation (the "Company") to its shareholders on November 19, 1989. By December 31, 1992, CRI had sold the remaining common shares of the Company which it had owned. The accompanying financial statements include the historical basis accounts of the Company while operating as a division of CRI and as a separate company. These accounts do not include general unallocated corporate expenses of CRI while the Company operated as a division of CRI. Advances made by CRI to the Company through November 15, 1989 were transferred to additional paid-in capital and the Company's 8
10-Q9th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
accumulated deficit from October 1983 (inception) through November 15, 1989 was offset against additional paid-in capital. The Company was a development stage enterprise, having devoted substantially all of its efforts from inception through March 24, 1995 to activities related to the design and development of the CRAY-3, CRAY3/Super Scalable System (SSS), and CRAY-4 supercomputer systems. Such activities included research and development; raising capital; acquiring and constructing property, plant and equipment; recruiting and training personnel; establishing sources of supply; and developing potential markets. The Company had no orders for or revenues from the sale of its products. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. There were no business combinations or dispositions in the first nine months of 1995. (2) Property and Equipment -------------------------- Property and equipment are stated at estimated net realizable value at September 30, 1995. (3) Common Stock and Warrants ----------------------------- On January 25, 1995, the Company completed a sale of 1,100,000 shares of its unregistered Common Stock to foreign institutional investors and 1,165,501 shares of its unregistered Common Stock to Seymour R. Cray, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (net proceeds of approximately $2,295,000). The sale of shares to the foreign institutional investors was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the "Securities Act") of 1933, as amended pursuant to Regulation S. The sale of shares to Mr. Cray was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. On February 27, 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, from 60,000,000 to 120,000,000 shares in order to have sufficient authorized unissued shares to permit substantial additional equity financing. The Company had approximately 72 million authorized shares of Common Stock remaining available for future issuance at March 31, 1995. 9
10-Q10th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
On February 27, 1995, the Company completed a sale of 2,100,000 shares of its unregistered Common Stock to a foreign institutional investor (net proceeds of approximately $1,764,000). This sale of shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S. See Note 13 - "Other Subsequent Events" for information concerning the current status of the bankruptcy filing. (4) Related Party Transactions ------------------------------ Below is a table which sets forth the related party transactions included in research and development expenses for the periods indicated. [Download Table] (In thousands) Nine months ended Three months ended September 30, September 30, ------------------------- --------------------- 1995 1994 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- ---- Performance Semiconductor Corporation (a) $ - 45 - 8 Seymour R. Cray (b) 60 206 - 70 ----- --- ---- --- $ 60 251 - 78 ===== === ==== === Performance Semiconductor Corporation (PSC) supplied the Company with 4 Kilobit and 256 Kilobit Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) circuits until August 1993. The $45,000 reported above for 1994 represents the cost of SRAM circuits that were used in the research and development process and expensed in 1994. The circuits were previously classified as prepaid expenses. In November 1991, the Company entered into an agreement with PSC to design and develop a specialized one-megabit memory circuit. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company would pay development fees of approximately $1,025,000 to PSC beginning in November 1991. The Company paid $925,000 to PSC under this agreement during 1992. No payments were made under the agreement in 1994, 1993 and 1991. The Company had the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel the remaining payment(s) under the agreement if it was determined that adequate progress was not or could not be made. The Company notified PSC that the agreement was cancelled because adequate progress was not made on the part of PSC, and no additional payments will be made. PSC declared Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in January 1994. The Company received Chapter 11 Notice of Final Hearing on Debtor's Motion for Approval of Stipulation for Use of Cash Collateral dated January 5, 1994 from the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of 10
10-Q11th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
California. All outstanding purchase orders between the Company and PSC had been fulfilled or cancelled prior to January 1994. Seymour R. Cray, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is the designed of the CRAY-3 and CRAY-4 supercomputer systems. Mr. Cray devoted his full working time to the Company since its inception until after the petition was filed and has continued to render services since that date. Mr. Cray serves as an independent contractor to the Company under a Design and Development Agreement, which is similar to his prior agreement with CRI from 1981 to 1989, and with the Company from 1989 to 1992, and has a term expiring in June 1997. Mr. Cray has waived all compensation under this Agreement since March 24, 1995. This Agreement provides for the early termination in the event that the Company discontinues development funding for the CRAY-4 or for future systems or limits or terminates agreed upon production of the CRAY-4 or for future systems. In such event, Mr. Cray retains the option to continue development and production of the project, subject, however, to the prior consent by the Company's asset based secured lender, as long as its loan agreement with the Company remains in effect. The Company is reviewing the terms and conditions of the Agreement with Mr. Cray regarding the rejection of the Agreement. (5) Loss Per Common Share --------------------- Loss per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. See Note 13 - "Other Subsequent Events" for information concerning the current status of the bankruptcy filing. 11
10-Q12th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
(6) Stock Plans ----------- 1989 Employee Benefit Stock Plan: The purpose of this plan is to provide a means for the Company, by granting Company stock or options to purchase stock to eligible employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, to attract and retain persons of ability and motivate them to advance the interests of the Company and benefit its stockholders. Stock options and grants are awarded by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under the plan, 3,700,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock may be issued, of which 200,000 shares may be issued to the Company's directors. Under the terms of the plan, the option price (in the case of stock options) is equal to the fair market value on the date of grant or, if repriced, on the date of option repricing. Options may be exercised at a rate of 25 percent annually, beginning one year from the date of grant, and terminate seven years from the date of grant. In the case of stock grants, the vesting terms vary. However, in most cases the employee or director becomes vested 25 percent one year after the date of grant and then 6.25 percent every three months thereafter. The value of grants on the date awarded, net of the value related to grants subsequently cancelled, is amortized on a progressive method to the statement of operations over the four years during which the grants become vested. There was no unamortized deferred compensation expense related to stock grants or outstanding stock grants at December 31, 1994. No stock options were awarded in the first quarter of 1995. 1989 Qualified Stock Purchase Investment Plan: The purpose of this plan is to facilitate capital accumulation by eligible employees in the form of the Company's Common Stock and thereby to provide employee identification with the commitment to the goals of the Company. Under the original plan, up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock could be issued. At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 10, 1994, shareholders approved an amendment to the original plan adding 1,000,000 shares for issuance under the plan bringing the total to 1,500,000 shares. The Company has registered the 1,500,000 shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Eligible employees may designate from 2 to 15 percent of their earnings to be withheld through payroll deductions for the purchase of Common Stock at 85 percent of the lower of the market price on the first or the last day of the offering period. Directors are not eligible to participate. Participant elections resulted in the issuance of 193,686 shares at a per share price of $0.93 for the offering period ended February 28, 1995. See Note 13 - "Other Subsequent Events" for information concerning the current status of the bankruptcy filing. 12

(8) Income Taxes ------------ The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109. There was no effect on the financial statements as a result of this change in accounting for income taxes. At December 31, 1994, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $226,985,000 which it believes may be available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2009. The Company also has a research and development tax credit carryforward for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $13,773,000 which it believes will be available to offset future Federal income taxes, if any, through 2009. The use of these carryforwards would be severely limited by the terms of 13
10-Q14th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code if there is an "ownership change" as defined by Section 382. Depending on the ultimate outcome of the Company's bankruptcy proceeding, the Company's ability to utilize its Federal income tax net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be further restricted or eliminated. See Note 13 - "Other Subsequent Events" for information concerning the current status of the bankruptcy filing. (9) Accounts Receivable ------------------- In August 1994, the Company and the National Security Agency (NSA) entered into a cost sharing development contract for the Company to produce a CRAY-3/SSS. Under the terms of the contract, the Company may be paid up to $4,200,000 for development costs, and the Government will provide approximately $400,000 in software consulting services. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had cumulatively invoiced the NSA approximately $2,607,000 pursuant to the terms of the joint development contract. No additional amounts will be billed under the joint development contract. The Company is reviewing the terms and conditions of the joint development contract with NSA regarding termination of the contract. The Company's asset based lender asserts a security interest in the outstanding accounts receivable. The Company requested and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado provided an order, subject to terms and conditions stated in the order, authorizing the Company the use of cash collateral. Development costs incurred by the Company are charged to research and development expense. Accounts receivable also reflect an estimated amount of net proceeds of $1,750,000 from the Company's equipment auction held on October 26, 1995. See Note 13 - "Other Subsequent Events" for information concerning the current status of the bankruptcy filing. (10) Licensing Agreement ------------------- In June 1993, the Company entered into a systems distributorship and license agreement with Advanced Visual Systems, Inc. (AVS). The agreement grants the Company a license to use AVS software and AVS documentation internally to make distributor versions of AVS software. The agreement also grants the Company a license to sublicense distributor versions of AVS software. The agreement expires after three years and can be automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis. The Company has the right to cancel the 14

agreement upon 90 days written notice to AVS. Under the terms of the license agreement a one-time, nonrefundable licensing fee of $300,000 was incurred by the Company. The Company paid $50,000 of this fee upon the execution of the agreement with the remaining amount of $250,000 due in 1996. The total license fee of $300,000 was charged to research and development expense in 1993. The Company is reviewing the terms and conditions of the license agreement with AVS to assess the ramifications of the bankruptcy filing and forthcoming Chapter 11 Plan. See Note 13 - "Other Subsequent Events" for information concerning the current status of the bankruptcy filing. (11) Bank Borrowings --------------- In June 1994, the Company obtained a $17.5 million secured line of credit commitment from an asset-based lender, comprised of a $6.5 million term loan and a revolving line of credit of up to $11.0 million. The amount advanced is secured by a senior security interest in all the assets of the Company, including the Company's plant, equipment, technology, and intellectual property rights. Additional collateral was provided by Seymour R. Cray, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, in the form of a $5.0 million standby letter of credit in June 1994 and a $1.0 million standby letter of credit in December 1994. As of September 30, 1995, approximately $6.6 million was outstanding under the line of credit. The terms of the Company's secured debt financing provided for certain events of default. The Filing of Bankruptcy is stated in the loan agreement to be an event of default. No additional debt financing is currently available under the secured line of credit and under the terms of the debt agreement repayment of such debt is required. The lender is subject under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to an automatic stay against any action against the Company or its assets to collect its debt without prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company does not believe that the Filing of Bankruptcy is an event of default. In June 1994, the Company obtained a $17.5 million secured line of credit commitment from a lender. The commitment is comprised of a $6.5 million term loan and an $11.0 million revolving line of credit. The commitment is secured by a senior security interest in all the assets of the Company. Additional collateral was provided by Seymour R. Cray, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, in the form of a $5.0 million standby letter of credit in June 1994 and a $1.0 million standby letter of credit in December 1994. The Company received the funds from the $6.5 million term loan upon closing of the transaction in June 1994. As of December 31, 1994, the Company 15
10-Q16th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
had borrowed $6.2 million of the revolving line of credit, for a total amount of $12.7 million borrowed against the available line of credit of $17.5 million. The Company could have borrowed the remaining amount of the available revolving line of credit ($4.8 million) only by providing additional collateral in the form of standby letter(s) of credit (up to $4.0 million) and/or 70 percent of eligible accounts receivable (up to $.8 million). The revolving line of credit is for a term of three years from June 10, 1994 and from year to year thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement. All loans under the revolving line of credit were subject to the lender's continuing right to establish lending reserves. These reserves, if imposed, could have reduced the amount of revolving line of credit loans which otherwise would have been available to the Company under the lending formulas. The $6.5 million term loan has a five-year term under which the Company made interest only payments from June 1994 through December 1994. Principal plus interest payments commence in January 1995. Annual maturities on the term loan are as follows: 1995 through 1998 - $1,444,440, 1999 - $722,240. The terms of the Company's secured debt financing provided for certain events of default, which include, among other things, (i) failure to perform or meet certain covenants, such as maintaining a minimum working capital and net worth, as defined by the agreement, (ii) any change in the controlling ownership of the Company, (iii) the failure of Seymour R. Cray to provide services to the Company substantially similar to those he currently provides, other than such failure by reason of death, disability, sickness, or injury, (iv) any material adverse change in the Company's business, assets, or prospects and (v) the Filing of Bankruptcy. If the Company were to default under the financing, the lender may take possession of the Company's assets, charge higher interest rates on the outstanding debt, demand immediate repayment of all obligations and/or take other actions as specified in the loan agreement. On April 24, 1995 the secured lender, as a result of the bankruptcy filing, called on the standby letters of credit (totalling $6 million) issued in their favor by Mr. Cray which reduces the amount owed by the Company on its line of credit to the secured lender. The Company now has an unsecured liability to Mr. Cray for an approximate amount of $6 million. See Note 1 - Bankruptcy Filing and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation. The term loan and the revolving line of credit bear interest at prime (as publicly announced by Philadelphia National Bank from time to time) plus 2 1/2 percent and prime plus 1 1/2 percent, respectively. The Company must 16
10-Q17th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
also pay a service fee of $50,000 for each year the loan agreement is effective and certain other fees. Per the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and Congress Financial Corporation, the Company must pay a success fee of $175,000 on June 10, 1997 or, if sooner, upon termination of the loan. The success fee owed is recorded as a current liability at March 31, 1995. (12) Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has issued a formal order for a non-public investigation relating to trading in the Common Stock of the Company during the period from September 1, 1990 through January 31, 1992, which is the approximate period during which the Company was negotiating or had in effect a purchase order for a 16-processor CRAY-3 supercomputer system from the National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The announced loss of this purchase order in December 1991 caused a major drop in the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The formal order states that the Commission staff has information tending to show that during the period under investigation certain individuals and entities may have traded stock of the Company while in possession of material non-public information and that the Company and others may have made false and misleading statements in filings with the Commission or in other public documents concerning this purchase order or the progress of development of the CRAY-3, which allegations, if true, would result in possible violation of Section 17 (a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10 (b) and 13 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The staff of the Central Regional Office of the Commission has notified the Company of its intention to recommend that the Commission seek permanent injunctions and civil penalties against the Company, Seymour R. Cray and a former officer of the Company for alleged violations of these Sections and to seek similar relief against Terry Willkom, the President of the Company, under two of them. The staff of the Central Regional Office has informed the Company and the corporate officers that they may file setting forth their positions and arguments concerning the proposed recommendation, and such a statement was filed with the Central Regional Office on February 15, 1995. The staff has also indicated its willingness to consider a proposed compromise resolution of the issues. Management of the Company is actively seeking to resolve these matters and does not believe that the investigation has uncovered violations by the Company or any of its officers and directors of any of the cited provisions of law or that the investigation will result in a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, or financial position of the Company. However, the Company cannot predict whether a prompt resolution will be reached or what the ultimate outcome of the investigation will be. 17

(13) Other Subsequent Events ----------------------- On July 14, 1995 the Company's Board of Directors passed a resolution whereby the Company requested voluntary delisting from the NASDQ Market. The delisting request is directly related to the Company's forthcoming Chapter 11 plan whereby the Company will liquidate its assets with approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. was notified of this request on July 14, 1995. The Company's Board of Directors authorized and directed Officers of the Company to take all steps they deem necessary or appropriate to prepare and implement a Chapter 11 Plan pursuant to which all or most of the assets of the Company will be sold for the benefit of the Company's creditors and, to the extent feasible, the benefit of the shareholders of the Company. Management of the Company believes that a liquidating distribution to its shareholders is unlikely. Since filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado on March 24, 1995, the Officers of the Company have pursued the possibility that the Company could emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a going concern. These Officers have concluded, and the Board of Directors has agreed, that the Company will not be able to continue its business. The Company will pursue the liquidation of its assets pursuant to a Chapter 11 Plan to be prepared and presented to the Bankruptcy Court. The Company requested extensions of its exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 Plan through November 15, 1995. The motion is pending as of the date of this report. On July 24, 1995 the Company notified creditors, shareholders and parties in interest of: (1) Proposed sale and lease of assets, free and clear of liens, of the hearing on approval thereof, and of procedures for the submission of competitive bids. The Company proposed to enter a sale and lease (the "Sale and Lease") transaction with M/A-COM, Inc. (M/A-COM) and Quantum Corporation ("Quantum"), under which the Company would: (a) sell equipment and other personal property constituting the "FAB Facility," including a "clean room" for the manufacture and assembly of computer components, to M/A-COM for $5,860,000 payable as set forth in the Motion. The Company would also lease to M/A-COM the FAB Facility (approximately 40,000 square feet) for two years at $320,000 per annum, triple net, with an option for up to three more years. (b) lease to Quantum 128,000 square feet of its building, triple net, for two years at a rent of $2,248,000 payable as set forth in the Motion, with an option for up to three more years. 18
10-Q19th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
The proposed Sale and Lease is subject to competitive bids. The competitive bidding may result in a sale or lease of most or all of the Company's assets. Any assets not sold pursuant to competitive bidding will be held for subsequent sale by the Company at auction or private sale. The proposed Sale and Lease, by itself, will not result in proceeds sufficient to allow a distribution to shareholders. The Company's management believes that neither the competitive bidding nor the proposed sale and lease, together with any other sale of any remaining assets, will generate enough proceeds to allow a distribution to shareholders. (2) Request for extension of debtor's exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 Plan. The Company has requested extensions for its exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 plan through November 15, 1995. (3) Order fixing last date for filing proofs of claim as September 30, 1995. The Bankruptcy Court has entered its order fixing September 30, 1995, as the last day for filing proofs of claim. 19

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is a discussion of the historical results of operations and financial condition of Cray Computer Corporation. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the discussions and historical financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the historical financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Generally accepted accounting principles require the adjustment of assets and liabilities to estimated net realizable value under the liquidation basis. Accordingly, the statements of deficiency in net assets available in liquidation at September 30, 1995 reflect assets and liabilities on this basis. Overview On March 24, 1995 Cray Computer Corporation (the "Company") filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado (the "Court") after the Company determined it would be unable to complete a planned private placement of up to $25 million of Common Stock with foreign and United States institutional investors, and the Company ceased to have liquid assets which would allow it to continue in operations. The Company is managed under the director of its Board of Directors, who have served both prior to and during the Chapter 11 case. The executive officers who have remained with the Company since the filing of the Chapter 11 case, in addition to Seymour R. Cray as the Chief Executive Officer, are Terry A. Willkom, President and Chief Operating Officer and William G. Skolout, Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Messrs,. Willkom and Skolout are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company and have undertaken primary responsibility for the investigations and negotiations pertaining to the marketing and sale of the Company's business and its assets. The Company is currently finalizing a Liquidating Plan (the "Plan") Once the Plan is finalized, it will be mailed to all known creditors, shareholders, and other party in interest to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan. The Plan proposes that a Trustee will be appointed to manage and dispose of the balance of the assets of the Estate on behalf of the Company. Allowed priority claims shall be paid in full on the Effective Date. Allowed unsecured claims shall be paid in full on the Effective Date, provided sufficient cash is available. To the extent there is 20
10-Q21st Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
insufficient cash available on the Effective Date to pay all allowed unsecured claims in full, the holders of allowed unsecured claims shall be paid on a Pro Rata Basis. Subsequent distribution(s) to the holders of allowed unsecured claims will be made to the extent additional cash becomes available until such time as all allowed unsecured claims are paid in full. Equity security holders shall receive pro rate distribution of available cash remaining, if any, after full payment to the classes of Allowed Claims as provided under the Plan. The Company's management believes that any liquidating distribution to shareholders is unlikely. The Effective Date of the Plan means the first business day which is 15 days after the entry of a Bankruptcy Court order confirming the Plan which is no longer subject to appeal, review, or certiorari proceedings. The Company believes it is complying with the reporting requirements and operating guidelines for debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11 proceedings. Under Chapter 11 the Company may attempt to reorganize, enabling it to resume operations, or it may dispose of assets followed by distribution of the amount realized to creditors and, if any excess remains, to shareholders of the Company. If the assets of the Company are disposed of, that disposition may be accomplished by the management of the Company as Debtor-in-Possession or by an appointed trustee following conversion of the Chapter 11 proceeding to a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Also, under Chapter 11, the Company as Debtor-in-Possession, has the exclusive right to file a plan during the 120 days from the initial bankruptcy filing date. This plan may be to either reorganize or to liquidate the Company's assets. The 120 day exclusive period ended July 21, 1995. The Company requested extensions for its exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 plan through November 15, 1995. The motion is pending as of the date of this report. The development of a new generation of scientific supercomputers is a lengthy and technically challenging process. The CRAY-3, CRAY-3/SSS, and CRAY-4 were technically complex super computers. The performance specifications of these supercomputers require a unique computer design, and unique manufacturing techniques and testing processes. Because the Company pioneered the technological development in all of these areas, it experienced various developmental delays in each area and in combining all of the advanced components into a complete supercomputer system. Some of these delays were lengthy. In total, they resulted in an approximately two-year delay in the market introduction of the CRAY-3 from management's estimate at the time the Company was spun off from CRI in 1989. 21
10-Q22nd Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
The Company believes that this delay was one of the principal causes of its inability to secure orders for the purchase of the CRAY-3 when it became available for sale in 1993. Also, as a result of this delay in market introduction and associated sales, the Company was repeatedly required to raise additional capital to continue the funding of design, development and marketing activities for the CRAY-4, development of the CRAY-3/SSS, and the manufacture and marketing of the CRAY-3 systems. Through the development of the CRAY-3, CRAY-3/SSS and CRAY-4 computers, the Company sought to address the high performance, large scale scientific computing segment of the supercomputer market. The number of potential customers in this market is and always has been limited. In addition, the market for supercomputers has always been characterized by continuing advancement of technology and the development of increasingly sophisticated and powerful systems which render existing systems obsolete within a few years. The Company, Debtor in Possession, had a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $15.8 million. The Company had accumulated losses of approximately $379 million from its inception through September 30, 1995. Approximately $123 million of its cumulative deficit was incurred while the Company was a division or wholly owned subsidiary of Cray Research, Inc. (CRI). Substantially all of the Company's funding since its incorporation in 1989 has come from CRI ($98,640,000) between October 1989 and October 1991, the sale of a CRAY-2 supercomputer ($12,760,000) in December 1990, a public stock offering (net proceeds of approximately $61,088,000) in July 1991, ongoing maintenance revenues ($1,846,000) on the CRAY-2 supercomputer, a sale of shares of Common Stock to institutional and private investors (net proceeds of approximately $27,805,000) in June 1993, loan proceeds ($6,613,000), letter of credit provided by Seymour R. Cray, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ($6,000,000), contract revenue ($2,607,000) on the cost sharing development contract with the National Security Agency (NSA) entered into in August 1994, sales of shares of Common Stock to private and foreign institutional investors (net proceeds of approximately $3,822,000) in the fourth quarter of 1994, and sales of shares of Common Stock to Seymour R. Cray (1,165,501 shares and to foreign institutional investors (3,200,000 shares) in the first quarter of 1995 (aggregate net proceeds of approximately $3,909,000). In early 1995, the Company determined it would be unable to complete a planned private placement financing of up to $25 million of Common Stock with foreign and United States institutional investors. In March 1995, the Company ceased to have sufficient liquid assets which would allow it to continue operations. The Company terminated most of its 350 employees and stopped work on its supercomputer systems. The Board of Directors 22
10-Q23rd Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 23rd
authorized the Company to file a petition for protection under Chapter 11. The Company filed its Chapter 11 petition on March 24, 1995 in order to preserve its assets and to equitably provide for all creditors and parties in interest. The commencement of a case under Chapter 11 subjected the Company and all of its property wherever located to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for administration in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Since filing its petition, the Company has continued to operate as a debtor in possession. It has filed all statements, schedules and lists required by the Bankruptcy Code and Rules, and all interim monthly financial reports required by the Office of the United States Trustee. Bankruptcy Status The commencement of a case under Chapter 11 subjected the Company and all of its property wherever located to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for administration in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Since filing its petition, the Company has continued to operate as a debtor in possession. It has filed all statements, schedules and listed required by the Bankruptcy Code and Rules, and all interim monthly financial reports required by the Office of the United States Trustee. Retention of Bankruptcy Counsel and Accountants by Company On March 24, 1995, the Company filed a Motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 327 and Rule 2014, seeking to retain Holland & Hart ("H&H"), 555 Seventeenth Street, Suite 3200, Denver, Colorado 80202 as bankruptcy counsel to represent the Company in the bankruptcy proceedings and to continue its representation on other general matters. Prior to the filing, the Company paid H&H a retainer of $100,800 for costs and professional services rendered or to be rendered in connection with this bankruptcy case. After deducting payment for pre-petition services rendered in preparation for the bankruptcy filing in the amount of $16,099.96 and payment of the $800 Chapter 11 filing fee, H&H deposited the amount of $83,900.04 in its trust account pending application to court approved fees and costs. On March 28, 1995, the Court entered its Order authorizing the Company to retain H&H. On April 7, 1995, the Company filed an Application seeking to employ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG") as the Company's independent certified public accountants and consultants. On April 12, 1995, the Court entered its Order authorizing the employment of KPMG. 23
10-Q24th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 24th
Suspension of Operations As of the Petition Date, the Company suspended its business operations and laid off approximately 350 employees. These employees were paid their accrued salary to the Petition Date, but were not paid for accrued vacation time. In the Plan, the Company anticipates paying these unpaid employee claims for amounts representing: (1) accrued vacation time; (2) certain 401(k) plan administration and asset management fees which have been charged to participating employees on an individual account basis; and (3) amounts owed to certain employees for reimbursement of expenses. Once Court approval is obtained, payments will be made as priority claims up to the amount of $4,000 for each employee, with any excess or non-priority portion being treated as an unsecured claim. Appointment of Creditors' Committee and Its Counsel On April 13, 1995, the United States Trustee's Office appointed the following creditors to serve on the Official Creditors' Unsecured Committee (the "Committee") in this Chapter 11 case: Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. Omnetics Connector Corporation Colorado Springs Utilities Air Liquide Visual Numerics, Inc. On or about April 21, 1995, the Creditors' committee filed a Motion seeking to retain the law firm of Faegre & Benson, P.L.L.P., 370 Seventeenth Street, Suite 2500, Denver, Colorado 80202 as general bankruptcy counsel to represent the Committee in the bankruptcy proceedings. On May 17, 1995, the Court entered its Order authorizing the Committee to retain Faegre & Benson. Cash Collateral Agreement As a result of the shutdown of active operations, the Company's operating expenses were greatly reduced, involving the maintenance and preservation of assets and the search for investment partners or purchasers. Nevertheless, the Company required the use of funds to pay the ongoing costs of its limited operations and reorganization efforts. The Bankruptcy Code requires the Company to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval or the consent of the secured creditor to use cash and other liquid assets on which the creditor holds a lien ("Cash Collateral"). On June 10, 1994, the Company entered into a secured loan transaction with Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress"). In that transaction, the Company obtained a term loan from Congress in the amount of $6,500,000, a 24
10-Q25th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 25th
revolving line of credit, and certain letter of credit accommodations. The terms of the loan are set forth in a Loan and Security Agreement dated June 10, 1994. The Company's loan from Congress is secured by collateral including the Company's real estate, equipment, intellectual property and accounts receivable. Standby letters of credit in the amount of $6 million were also posted by Seymour R. Cray in favor of Congress to provide additional security for the loan. As of the Petition Date, the Company owed Congress approximately $12.4 million. Since that time, Congress has drawn on the standby letter of credit, reducing the amount of Congress' secured loan by $6 million and creating instead an unsecured debt to Seymour Cray in that amount. During the pendency of this case, the Company has paid Congress an additional $6.7 million. It is the Company's position that Congress has been paid substantially, if not all, of its secured claim in this case. On May 5, 1995, the Company filed a Motion for Authorization to Use Cash Collateral in which Congress claimed a security interest. As a result of discussions between the Company, Congress, and the Creditors Committee, a stipulation was reached in which Congress allowed the Company, on an interim basis, to utilize the cash which the Company held (or would receive as a result of collection of outstanding receivables) to fund the Company's reorganization efforts. Delisting of Company's Stock The Company's common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "CRAY". Because of the Company's bankruptcy filing, the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD"), suspended the listing of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Effective April 11, 1995, the Company's NASDAQ symbol was change to "CRAYQ". Sale and Lease of Assets Prior to and since the commencement of this Chapter 11 case, the Company engaged in extensive efforts to lay the groundwork for a confirmable plan of reorganization. These efforts sought to (1) find investment capital or an investment partner, which would permit the Company to satisfy its creditors and resume operations; or, (2) find potential purchasers or lessees of all or a substantial portion of its assets on terms which would permit the Company to satisfy its secured debt, and make the maximum possible distributions to unsecured creditors, if possible thereafter to equity holders. The Company contacted numerous companies that manufacture computers and related products as part of an extensive search for purchasers or investment partners. To assist in the marketing process, and with Bankruptcy Court authorization, the Company hired certain appraisers, consultants, and auctioneers to provide valuations of the Company's real and 25
10-Q26th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 26th
personal property assets. The Committee also employed its own consultant for the valuation and marketing of the Company's business and assets. As of the Petition Date, the Company's assets include: (1) its headquarters and operations building located at 1110 Bayfield Drive in Colorado Springs, Colorado; (2) the equipment located at the headquarters facility consisting of a "clean room" and associated equipment used in the manufacture and assembly of computer components, commonly referred to as the "FAB Facility"; (3) other technical, manufacturing, and assembly equipment not related to the FAB Facility; (4) general office furniture and equipment; (5) a leased facility at a different location in Colorado Springs which is equipped to operate as a printed circuit board manufacturing facility; and (6) certain intellectual property associated with its operations and the products it was developing. Despite its efforts, the Company has been unable to find the investment capital or an investment partner that would permit the Company to resume its business operations. The Company contacted and had discussions with numerous prospective purchasers of its assets and after conferring with Congress and the Committee, the Company entered into a transaction for the sale and lease of certain of its assets as offering the best prospect to commence the process of maximizing the sale value of its assets for the benefit of the Estate and all parties in interest. On July 6, 1995, the Company executed a Letter of Interest, providing for the sale of certain personal property and for the lease of the Company's real property, with M/A-COM, Inc. ("M/A-COM") and Quantum Corporation ("Quantum"). The key terms of this proposed transaction with M/A-COM and Quantum (the "Sale and Lease") provided for the Company's sale to M/A-COM of all the equipment and fixtures, including the "clean room" and its support equipment, located in the FAB Facility as well as any other equipment or intellectual property necessary for such operation. In addition, the Company proposed to lease to M/A-COM the portion of its building occupied by the FAB Facility, which consists of approximately 40,000 square feet. Finally, the Company proposed to lease to Quantum the portion of its building known as the "Western Manufacturing Wing", which contains approximately 128,000 square feet. These leases permit M/A-COM and/or Quantum to occupy the Company's office building for an initial two year lease term on a triple net basis with an option for up to an additional three years. On July 13, 1995, the Company filed a Motion, which primarily sought court authority to approve the Sale and Lease and to establish procedures for a competitive bidding process for the sale and/or lease of all or a portion of the Company's remaining assets outside the ordinary course of business, free and 26
10-Q27th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 27th
clear of liens. A Court-approved notice of these proposed actions was mailed to all creditors, equity holders and other parties in interest. On August 29, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Sale and Lease as subsequently modified by negotiations during the competitive bidding process. Thereafter the Company, M/A-COM and Quantum closed the Sale and Lease as more definitively described in the transactional agreements between the parties filed with the Court. At closing, the Company received a total of $7,275,000 from M/A-COM and $2,573,000 from Quantum for a total consideration of $9,848,000. Congress was paid the amount of $6,734,343.83 on account of its secured claim and liens covering the Company's assets. Also, a tax reserve for payment of the Company's pre-petition real and personal property taxes in the amount of $1 million was established, pending final resolution of these claims. Finally, after payment of closing expenses and personal property taxes arising from the Sale and Lease, the Company received the net amount of $2,724,096.37 for eventual payment to creditors under the Plan. Assets Remaining To Be Sold As a result of the Sale and Lease, the Company was required to vacate its corporate office complex at 1110 Bayfield Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Company has moved to smaller offices located at 202 East Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard, Suite C, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906 (P.O. Box 61003, 80960). The Company has continued to seek purchasers for its remaining personal property and equipment assets and the Bayfield complex (approximately 60 acres), subject to the M/A-COM and Quantum leases. The Company removed all of its equipment and other personal property not covered in the Sale and Lease from the Bayfield Complex. To commence an orderly Chapter 11 liquidation of assets, the Company solicited numerous proposals from auctioneers and equipment purchasers. After the Company's discussions with third party plan investors and purchasers of all remaining assets did not result in offers for adequate value, the Company determined that the value of its remaining equipment would be maximized by an auction process. Thereafter, the Company sought and received Bankruptcy Court approval to hire Koll-Dove Global Disposition Services, LLC ("Koll-Dove") to conduct the auction. Koll-Dove is a full service auctioneer located in Foster City, California, specializing in the sale of high technology capital assets and having over 50 years of experience with the auction, appraisal and liquidation of equipment and other capital assets. The Company leased a warehouse to conduct the auction, consisting of approximately 40,000 square feet of space for up to 90 days. The auction was held on October 26, 1995. The property sold included printed circuit boards, data processing equipment, furniture, industrial machinery and other 27
10-Q28th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
miscellaneous capital assets. The assets were sold piece by piece or by lot as determined by Koll-Dove so as to best maximize the return to the Estate. The total gross amount realized by the auction is estimated to have been approximately $1.8 million. In addition, the Company continues to seek purchasers for the Bayfield Office Complex subject to the M/A-Com and Quantum leases. The Complex totals approximately 60 acres of real estate, consisting of the office building and other improvements. Also, at December 31, 1994, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for Federal Income Tax purposes of approximately $227 million which it believes may be available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2009. The Company also has a research and development tax credit carryforward for Federal Income Tax purposes of approximately $14 million which it believes will be available to offset future Federal Income taxes, if any, through 2009. The use of these carryforwards would be severely limited by the terms of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code if there is an "ownership change" as defined by Section 382. Such an ownership change may occur should a prospective investor seek to acquire the Company to continue its supercomputer business. Accordingly, depending on the outcome of the Company's bankruptcy case, the Company's ability to utilize its Federal Income tax net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be severely restricted or eliminated. To date, the Company has been unable to finalize a satisfactory arrangement which would allow utilization of its net operating losses for the benefit of the Estate, and such an arrangement appears to be unlikely. Bar Date for Filing Claims The Bankruptcy Court set September 30, 1995 as the last date to file proofs of claim and proofs of interest against the Estate. Notice of the claims bar date was given to all creditors, shareholders, and other parties in interest. This requirement for filing claims applies to all pre-petition claims or claims which arose prior to March 24, 1995 which were not scheduled, or were scheduled as disputed, contingent or unliquidated in the schedules of liabilities filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the Company, or were scheduled and such creditor disagreed with the amount of the scheduled claim. Claims arising on account of the rejection of an executory contract must be filed within 30 days of the order allowing rejection. Since September 30, 1995 was a Saturday, any creditor required to file a proof of claims and who failed to do so by 4:30 p.m. Denver time, October 2, 1995, will not be treated as a creditor for the purposes of voting on or distribution under the Plan, and any claim by such creditor shall be forever barred. Extension of the Exclusive Period To File a Plan 28
10-Q29th Page of 38TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
The Bankruptcy Code provides that only the Company may file a Plan within the first 120 days after the entry of the Order For Relief. This is known as the exclusive period. If the Company files a plan within this time frame, then the exclusive period is extended an additional 60 days to permit the Company to gain acceptance of the Plan. The exclusive period may be extended by the Court for cause. On July 20, 1995, the Company filed a Motion seeking an order of the Court extending the exclusive period for the Company to file the Plan from July 24, 1995 to September 30, 1995. On September 13, 1995 the Court entered its Order granting the requested extension. Since the Company and the Committee were continuing to negotiate with third parties on a potential plan of reorganization and additional asset sales, on September 29, 1995 the Company filed its Second Motion to extend the exclusive period for an additional month from September 30 to October 31, 1995. On October 31, 1995 the Company filed its Third Motion seeking an extension until November 15, 1995. Actions on Executory Contracts The Company is a party to several executory contracts, unexpired leases, and licenses. To date, the Company has entered into an agreement with CRI regarding the rejection of an executory contract for the maintenance of a CRAY-2 computer utilized at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in Los Angeles, California. The Company continues to have discussions with various interested purchasers of its unexpired leases, executory contracts, licenses, intellectual property and other patent assets. The Company intends to make its final decision regarding the assumption or rejection of these unexpired leases, executory contracts and licenses as part of the confirmation of its plan. The Bankruptcy Code provides that the Company must assume or reject unexpired leases of nonresidential real property wherein the Company is the lessee ("Lease") within sixty days after the entry of the Order for Relief. If a Lease is not assumed or rejected within the sixty day period, the Lease is deemed automatically rejected. The Bankruptcy Code provides that the sixty day period may be extended by the Court. The Company has received from the Court two previous extensions of time to assume or reject the real property lease covering the printed circuit board plant located in Colorado Springs, Colorado until October 31, 1995. On October 20, 1995, the Company filed its third motion for an extension, requesting an additional month or until December 15, 1995 within which to make its decision on this lease. The reason for these requested delays was that the Company hoped it could realize more value for its creditors if it can locate a successor to this lease, rather than terminating the lease and selling the contents of the premises separately. On 29

October 26, 1995, the Court entered its Third Order, pursuant to the Company's motion, extending the time to assume or reject this lease until December 15, 1995 . Seymour R. Cray, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is the designed of the CRAY-3 and CRAY-4 supercomputer systems. Mr. Cray devoted his full working time to the Company since its inception until after the petition was filed and has continued to render services since that date. Mr. Cray serves as an independent contractor to the Company under a Design and Development Agreement, which is similar to his prior agreement with CRI from 1981 to 1989, and with the Company from 1989 to 1992, and has a term expiring in June 1997. Mr. Cray has waived all compensation under this Agreement since March 24, 1995. This Agreement provides for the early termination in the event that the Company discontinues development funding for the CRAY-4 or for future systems or limits or terminates agreed upon production of the CRAY-4 or for future systems. In such event, Mr. Cray retains the option to continue development and production of the project, subject, however, to the prior consent by the Company's asset based secured lender, as long as its loan agreement with the Company remains in effect. In August 1994, the Company and the National Security Agency (NSA) entered into a cost sharing development contract for the Company to produce a CRAY-3/SSS. The contract provided that the Company may be paid up to $4.2 million for development costs. The Company has cumulatively invoiced NSA for approximately $2.6 million under the contract and no receivables are currently outstanding. No additional amounts will be billed under the contract. The Company is reviewing the terms and conditions of the above contracts, and all other executory contracts and unexpired leases, with their respective non-debtor parties regarding assumption or rejection decisions. In addition, the Company has received proposals for the purchase of its patent and other intellectual property assets. Status of Pending Litigation As of the date of this report, the Company was involved in two litigation matters in this bankruptcy case. To the Company's knowledge, no other legal actions are outstanding except the bankruptcy case. On September 28, 1995, Congress filed a Complaint asking the Bankruptcy Court to declare its loan agreement with the Company terminated, to determine the extent and validity of its claims, and for other relief. By this action, Congress seeks payment of a Loan Termination Fee in the amount of $875,000 plus additional interest and fees. The Company disputes Congress' 30

claim for a termination fee and anticipates that the Committee will seek to intervene to support the Company's position in this adversary. To date, this matter has not been set for trial and no pretrial scheduling order is in place. The second matter involves an appeal to the United States District Court for the district of Colorado by William Kuntz, III, an equity security holder of the Company. The appeal concerns the Company requested orders be entered by the Bankruptcy Court (1) granting the Company an extension until October 31, 1995 in which to assume or reject the printed circuit board facility lease; and (2) granting the Company an extension of its exclusive period to file a plan until September 30, 1995. When the Bankruptcy Court denied Mr. Kuntz' objections and granted these extension requests, Mr. Kuntz filed the appeal. The parties have filed their respective designations of record and upon transmittal of the record by the Bankruptcy Court to the District Court, the appellate briefing schedule will begin. The Company believes that this appeal is interlocutory in nature and should be mooted by subsequent events and decisions in the Chapter 11 case. The Company believes it is complying with the reporting requirements and operating guidelines for Debtors-in-Possession under Chapter 11 proceedings. 31

Results of Operations Revenue and cost of revenue: Service fees revenue and cost of services relate to the maintenance of the CRAY-2 supercomputer installed at the National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC) in April 1990. Service fees revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 totaled $82,000 compared with $90,000 for the third quarter of 1994. The $8,000 decrease in service fees revenue results from the terms of a new NERSC maintenance agreement which was signed in March 1994 and renewed through March 31, 1995. The maintenance agreement was extended through August 28, 1995. The Company has entered into an agreement with CRI regarding the rejection of an executory contract for the maintenance of a CRAY-2 computer utilized at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in Los Angeles, California. Services under the maintenance agreement were performed by CRI as a subcontractor and were not interrupted by the bankruptcy filing. The service fee revenues described herein are net of payments to the subcontractor. Service fees revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $253,000 compared with $261,000 for the first nine months of 1994. Development contract revenue relates to the joint development contract entered into between the Company and the NSA in August 1994. The contract provided that the Company would be paid up to $4,200,000 for development costs, and the Government would provide approximately $400,000 in software consulting services. Development contract revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 totaled ($20,000), which reflects a correction to an invoice accrued in second quarter of 1995. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had cumulatively invoiced the NSA approximately $2,607,000 pursuant to the terms of the joint development contract and had no related outstanding accounts receivable. No additional amounts will be billed under the joint development contract. In August 1994, the Company and the National Security Agency (NSA) entered into a cost sharing development contract for the Company to produce a CRAY-3/SSS. The contract provided that the Company may be paid up to $4.2 million for development costs. The Company has cumulatively invoiced NSA for approximately $2.6 million under the contract and no receivables are currently outstanding. No additional amounts will be billed under the contract. The Company is reviewing the terms and conditions of the joint development contract with NSA regarding termination of the contract. The Company's asset based lender asserts a security interest in the outstanding accounts receivable. The Company requested and the 32

United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado provided an order, subject to terms and conditions stated in the order, authorizing the Company the use of cash collateral. Development contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $482,000 . Other revenue reported for the third quarter of 1995 relates primarily to recognition of deferred lease obligations. Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses related primarily to the design and development of the CRAY3/SSS and CRAY-4 high-performance computer systems, including costs associated with the manufacture of prototype systems, and depreciation expenses on facilities and equipment used in research and development activities. No research and development expenses were incurred by the Company in the third quarter of 1995 because research and development activities were discontinued on March 24, 1995 when the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company terminated most of its employees and stopped work on its supercomputer systems. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $7,631,000 compared with $28,180,000 for the first nine months of 1994. Research and development expenses include certain related party transactions. Related party research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $60,000 compared with $251,000 for the first nine months of 1994. Marketing: No marketing expenses were incurred by the Company in the third quarter of 1995 because marketing activities were discontinued on March 24, 1995 when the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company terminated most of its employees and stopped work on its supercomputer systems. Marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $362,000 compared with $803,000 for the first nine months of 1994. General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 totaled $1,729,000 compared with $588,000 for the third quarter of 1994. The $1,141,000 increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to depreciation and maintenance for the Company's assets and utilities. Prior to the bankruptcy filing, these expenses were allocated principally to research and development expenses. General and administrative 33

expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $4,376,000 compared with $1,944,000 for the first nine months of 1994. Other income (deductions), net: Other income (deductions), net for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 totaled ($3,806,000) compared with ($141,000) for the third quarter of 1994. The $3,665,000 increase in other (deductions), net is a result of the write down of assets and prepaid production supplies to estimated net realizable value ($8,342,000). The write down was partially offset by a gain on the sale of assets to M/ACom and Quantum ($4,536,000). Other income (deductions), net for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled ($4,337,000) compared with ($633,000) for the first nine months of 1994. Litigation settlement: On June 17, 1993, the Company reached a final settlement with the consolidated plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Company. The Company paid $1,000,000 in April 1993 towards the settlement and the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurer paid an additional $4,000,000. The Company accrued its share of the tentative settlement, $1,000,000, in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1992. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's Independent Auditors in their report for the year ended December 31, 1994, stated that because of the Company's recurring losses, continued utilization of cash flows, working capital deficit at December 31, 1994, and the bankruptcy filing on March 24, 1995 by the Company, substantial doubt is raised about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and that the Company's historical Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Auditors' Report for the year ended December 31, 1993, and 1992 also stated there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. On March 24, 1995 Cray Computer Corporation (the "Company") filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado (the "Court") after the Company determined it would be unable to complete a planned private placement of up to $25 million of Common Stock with foreign and United States institutional investors, and the Company ceased to have liquid assets which would allow it to continue in operations. The Company is managed under the director of its Board of Directors, who have served both prior to and during the Chapter 11 case. The executive officers who have remained with the Company since the filing of the Chapter 11 case, in addition to Seymour R. Cray as the Chief Executive Officer, are Terry A. Willkom, President and Chief 34

Operating Officer and William G. Skolout, Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Messrs,. Willkom and Skolout are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company and have undertaken primary responsibility for the investigations and negotiations pertaining to the marketing and sale of the Company's business and its assets. The Company had a deficit deficiency in net assets available in liquidation at September 30, 1995 of $2,478,000. Generally accepted accounting principles require the adjustment of assets and liabilities to estimated net realizable value under the liquidation basis. Accordingly, the statements of deficiency in net assets available in liquidation at September 30, 1995 reflect assets and liabilities on this basis. The Company announced that it would begin selling all or most of its assets for the benefit of the Company's creditors and shareholders. However, management does not believe that a liquidating distribution to shareholders is likely. In June 1994, the Company obtained a $17.5 million secured line of credit commitment from an asset-based lender, comprised of a $6.5 million term loan and a revolving line of credit of up to $11.0 million. The amount advanced is secured by a senior security interest in all the assets of the Company, including the Company's plant, equipment, technology, and intellectual property rights. Additional collateral was provided by Seymour R. Cray, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, in the form of a $5.0 million standby letter of credit in June 1994 and a $1.0 million standby letter of credit in December 1994. As of September 30, 1995, approximately $6.6 million was outstanding under the line of credit. The terms of the Company's secured debt financing provided for certain events of default. The Filing of Bankruptcy is stated in the loan agreement to be an event of default. No additional debt financing is currently available under the secured line of credit and under the terms of the debt agreement repayment of such debt is required. The lender is subject under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to an automatic stay against any action against the Company or its assets to collect its debt without prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company does not believe that the Filing of Bankruptcy is an event of default. On April 27, 1995 the secured lender drew down the standby letters of credit totaling $6 million issued in its favor by Mr. Cray. This drawing reduced the amount owed by the Company on its line of credit to the secured lender and creates an unsecured liability to Mr. Cray for an approximately amount of $6 million. The Company terminated most of its employees concurrent with the Filing on March 24, 1995. The Company currently has two full time and three part 35

time employees. In the event the Company were to resume operations, the extent of operations and related costs have not been determined. There can be no assurance that the Company will resume operations, even on a limited basis, and that it will not be required to liquidate its assets to satisfy its liabilities. In the event of liquidation, management has not determined if sufficient amounts will be realized to satisfy the Company's liabilities. Furthermore, it is not possible for management to determine whether there will be any distributions to shareholders of any residual values available in the event of liquidation. 36
