RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The following table shows certain information relating to the Company's results of operations for the years endedDecember 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively: Year ended December 31, 1993 1992 Total Revenues $ 339,775 $ 350,766 Operating loss $ (29,392) $ (40,732) Net loss $ (32,073) $ (50,861) Net loss per common and common equivalent share $ (.69) $ (1.13) Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding 46,410 45,142 The reduction in revenues was primarily the result of exiting the hardware business. In the past two years, the Company has been executing a plan to move to a software-only business model. Revenues have also been negatively impacted by a poor world-wide economy. The results of operations were impacted by a plan for restructuring approved by management in December 1993. The charge taken in the fourth quarter totaled $24,800 and is included in 4 the operating loss above. The costs associated with the plan consist primarily of direct costs related to the severance and relocation of employees, facilities' closures and write-offs of excess equipment and intangible software technology assets related to product development activities.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Article V of the Company's Bylaws indemnifies directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Oregon Business Corporation Act (Act). The effects of Article V are summarized as follows: (a) The Article grants a right of indemnification in respect of any action, suit, or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis of receipt of an improper personal benefit and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of an action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or plea of nolo contendere does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not meet the required standards of conduct. (b) The Article grants a right of indemnification in respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the Company against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not II-1 opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no right of indemnification will be granted if the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company. (c) Every person who has been wholly successful on the merits of a controversy described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to indemnification as a matter of right. (d) The Company is required to promptly indemnify a director or officer unless it is determined by a majority of disinterested directors or by independent counsel that the person's actions did not meet the relevant standard for indemnification. If the disinterested directors or independent counsel determine that the indemnification is not required, the person seeking indemnification may petition a court for an independent determination. In any court action, the Company will have the burden of proving that indemnification would not be proper. Neither the disinterested directors' failure to make a determination regarding indemnification for the claim nor an actual determination that the person failed to meet the applicable standard will be a defense to such action or create a presumption that the person is not entitled to indemnification. (e) The Company will advance to a director or officer the expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition if the director or officer affirms in good faith the he or she is entitled to indemnification and undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is determined by a court that the person is not entitled to indemnification. (f) The Company may obtain insurance for the protection of its directors and officers against any liability asserted against them in their official capacities. The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which the persons indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors, or otherwise. The Company has also entered into Indemnity Agreements with all directors and officers. While the Indemnity Agreements in large part incorporate the indemnification provisions of the Act as described above, they vary from the Act in several respects. The Indemnity Agreements obligate the Company to provide the maximum indemnification protection allowed under Oregon law, which is intended to provide indemnification broader than that expressly authorized by the Act. The most significant effect of the II-2 Indemnity Agreements is to add indemnification for judgments and settlements of derivative lawsuits to the fullest extent permitted by law as may be limited by public policy considerations applied by the courts.

See Page II-7. 24. Powers of Attorney. Item 17. Undertakings. (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post- II-3 effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each new post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post- effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-4 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Wilsonville, State of Oregon, on February 28, 1994.
