You should rely only on information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See "Information Incorporated by Reference" on page 6. Neither we nor the selling shareholder has authorized any other person to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. The shares of common stock are not being offered in any jurisdiction where the offering is not permitted. -2- OUR BUSINESS We design, build, sell and service high-performance computer systems, sometimes referred to as "supercomputers." Our executive offices are located at Merrill Place, Suite 600, 411 First Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98104-2860, and our telephone number is (206) 701-2000. SELLING SHAREHOLDER On March 28, 2001, Foothill Capital Corporation, the selling shareholder, acquired a stock purchase warrant exercisable for an aggregate of 100,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.76 per share in connection with a credit agreement with us. The warrant is exercisable until March 28, 2005. The number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, a split, subdivision or combination of our common stock or similar event. The warrant may also be exercised by means of a cashless exercise feature in which case we would not receive any proceeds upon exercise of the warrant. As of November 20, 2001, Foothill did not hold any shares of our common stock. All of the shares covered by this prospectus are being sold for the account of Foothill. The shares covered by this prospectus include only the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant.
Ownership After Shares Offering if All Shares Owned Prior Shares Being Offered Hereby Are Selling Shareholder to Offering Offered Sold ------------------- ----------- ------------ ---------------------- Shares Percent ------ ------- Foothill Capital 100,000 (1) 100,000 (1) 0 0 Corporation
-------------------- (1) Consists of 100,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant. Foothill has not had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years. In recognition of the fact that Foothill may wish to be legally permitted to sell its shares when it deems appropriate, we have agreed with Foothill to file with the SEC, under the Securities Act of 1933, a registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, with respect to the resale of the shares, and we have agreed to prepare and file such amendments and supplements to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) a period of 120 days or (ii) Foothill has completed the distribution described in this prospectus. -3- PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are registering the shares covered by this prospectus for Foothill. Foothill or its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may sell the shares in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. In addition, the shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods: - a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction; - purchases by a broker or dealer, as principal, in a market maker capacity or otherwise and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to their prospectus; - ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchases; - privately negotiated transactions; - any combination of these methods of sale; or - any other legal method. We will pay the costs and fees of registering the shares, but Foothill will pay any brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the shares. We and Foothill each have agreed to indemnify the other against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, that relate to statements or omissions in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides that during the period that any person is engaged in the distribution, as so defined in Regulation M, of our common stock, such person generally may not purchase shares of our common stock. Foothill is subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by Foothill. The foregoing may affect the marketability of our common stock. Foothill may negotiate and pay brokers or dealers commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by Foothill may allow other brokers or dealers to participate. However, Foothill and any brokers or dealers involved in the sale or resale of the shares may qualify as "underwriters" within the meaning of the Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the brokers' or dealers' commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters' compensation under the Securities Act. If Foothill qualifies as an "underwriter," it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act. In addition to selling its shares under this prospectus, Foothill may: -4- - agree to indemnify any broker or dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the selling of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act; - transfer its shares in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer; or - sell its shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act rather than under this prospectus, if the transaction meets the requirements of Rule 144. Upon notification by Foothill that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker or dealer for the sale of the shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing the material terms of the transaction. LEGAL MATTERS For purposes of this offering, Kenneth W. Johnson, our General Counsel, is giving an opinion on the validity of the common shares. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Johnson held 40,914 shares of our common stock, options to purchase 270,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 21,637 shares of our common stock. EXPERTS The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by reference. The statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Cray Research business unit of Silicon Graphics, Inc. as of March 31, 2000, and the related statements of revenue and direct operating expenses for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 and the nine month period ended March 31, 2000 incorporated in this prospectus by reference from Form 8-K/A of Cray Inc. filed on June 16, 2000 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph referring to note 1 which describes the expense allocations by Silicon Graphics, Inc), which is incorporated herein by reference. These financial statements have been so incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION Our Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act, our directors will not be liable for monetary damages to us or our shareholders, excluding, however, liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, illegal distributions or transactions from which the director receives benefits to which the director is not legally entitled. Our Restated Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and, by action of the Board of Directors, may indemnify our officers, employees and other agents to the fullest -5- extent permitted by applicable law, except for any legal proceeding that is initiated by such directors, officers, employees or agents without authorization of the Board of Directors. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Article XII of our Restated Articles of Incorporation and Section 11 of our Restated Bylaws require indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act (the "Act"). Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Act authorize a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Section 23B.08.320 of the Act authorizes a corporation to limit a director's liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for acts or omissions as a director, except in certain circumstances involving intentional misconduct, self-dealing or illegal corporate loans or distributions, or any transaction from which the director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled. Article XI of our Restated Articles of Incorporation contains provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington law, such limitations on a director's liability to us and our shareholders.

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 this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and (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-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each 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; and (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that 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. II-2 (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Seattle, State of Washington, on November 21, 2001.
