NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and related interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S—X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. All adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cray Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, which includes the additional dilution related to conversion of stock options as computed under the treasury stock method and the conversion of the preferred stock under the if-converted method.

     In the first quarter of 2001 and 2002, the Company had convertible debt outstanding with weighted average conversion prices of $1.65, representing 300,000 shares, and $2.21, representing 4.2 million shares. The dilutive effect of these notes is calculated using the “if converted” method. Under this method, the interest expense related to the convertible debt is added back to net income. All convertible debt for the first quarter of 2001 and 2002 was antidilutive.

     In the first quarter of 2001 and 2002, 24.5 million and 29.0 million shares, respectively, were not included in the calculation of fully diluted EPS as they were antidilutive.

Reclassifications

     Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current-year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations, but instead would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. We have applied SFAS No. 142 in the first quarter of 2002. In 2001 our annual amortization of goodwill was $7.2 million. We have tested goodwill for impairment using the two-step approach prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. We have determined that there is no impairment of goodwill as of January 1, 2002.

This statement establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. It retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Restructuring Charges

     As of December 31, 2001, an accrued liability associated with restructuring charges related to the termination of employees in the third and fourth quarters of 2001 was $1.7 million. A restructuring charge expense related to termination of employees in the first quarter of 2002 was $1.9 million. Substantially all of the restructuring charge incurred in 2002 represents severance expenses for terminated employees and is expected to be paid in the next eighteen months. The reserve activity for the quarter is as follows (in thousands):

Accrued Loss on Purchase Commitment

     As part of the acquisition of the Cray Research business unit from SGI on April 1, 2000, the company assumed a purchase commitment for $6.3 million for which a liability was accrued at the date of acquisition. The $6.3 million consisted of cancellation fees and commitments under contractual obligations to acquire inventory components deemed unusable. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had a remaining obligation of $4.6 million. In the first quarter of 2002 the Company satisfied a portion of the purchase commitment obligation through receipt of inventory and negotiated reductions in cancellation fees of $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The reduction in the cancellation fee was credited to other income in the amount of $1.4 million.

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

Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     The information set forth in this Item 2 includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. Factors that realistically could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are set forth under “Factors That Could Affect Future Results” beginning on page 17. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

Overview

     We design, develop, market and service high-performance computer systems, commonly known as supercomputers. We presently market four computer systems, the Cray SV1ex, Cray T3E, Cray SX-6 and cluster solutions, and we provide maintenance services to the world wide installed base of these and earlier models of Cray computers. We are developing two new computer systems, the MTA-2, a scalable uniform shared memory, latency tolerant system that utilizes a multithreaded architecture and

11


Table of Contents

high bandwidth interconnection system, and the SV2 (code-named), which incorporates in its design both vector processing capabilities from our long line of Cray Research vector systems and highly parallel capabilities analogous to those of our T3E system. We recently have commenced offering professional services to leverage our reputation and skills for services and industry technical knowledge.

     We have experienced net losses in each year of our operations. We incurred net losses of approximately $35.2 million in 2001, $25.4 million in 2000, and $34.5 million in 1999. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, we had net income of $749,000.

     We recognize revenue from sales of our computer systems upon acceptance by the customer, although in limited circumstances, depending on sales contract terms, revenue may be recognized when title passes upon shipment or may be delayed until funding is certain. We recognize service revenue from the maintenance of our computer systems ratably over the term of each maintenance agreement. Funds from maintenance contracts that are paid in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. We recognize service revenue from our professional services activities as services are rendered.

     Factors that should be considered in evaluating our business, operations and prospects and that could affect our future results and financial condition are set forth beginning on page 17.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     This discussion as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used, including those related to estimates of warranty liabilities, valuation of inventory at the lower of cost or market and impairment of goodwill. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources as well as identifying and assessing our accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

     T90 Reserve. We acquired service contracts in the Cray Research acquisition for T90 vector computers. Some of the components in the T90 vector computers, which were sold prior to the acquisition, have an unusually high failure rate. At the date of the acquisition, we recorded a warranty reserve of $47.5 million to reflect our estimate of the amount by which the cost of servicing the T90 vector computers would exceed the revenue generated from servicing them until they were no longer in use by our customers. As we incur costs to service these computers, we reduce the amount of the warranty reserve. As of March 31, 2002, our total warranty reserve balance is $12.4 million, of which $11.9 million relates to the T90 vector computers. We continually monitor the reasonableness of our estimate of the warranty reserve. This involves analysis of our assumptions with regard to the length of time the T90 vector computers will be in use by our customers, the failure rate of modules in the computers considering actual historical failure rates, and personnel and resources, including service spares, that will be required to correct failures that occur in the future. To date, our estimates of the

12


Table of Contents

costs incurred to service the T90 vector computers have approximated the actual costs we have incurred. We believe that the warranty reserve balance at March 31, 2002 is a reasonable estimate of the extent to which our costs to service these computers will exceed the revenue generated from existing service contracts. It is possible, however, that our estimates may prove to be inaccurate and that our actual costs may differ materially from our estimates.

     Inventories. We record our inventories at the lower of cost or market. We regularly evaluate the technological usefulness of various inventory components. When it is discovered that previously inventoried components do not function as intended in a fully operational system, the costs associated with these components are expensed. Due to rapid changes in technology and the increasing demands of our customers, we are continually developing new products. As a result, it is possible that older products we have developed may become obsolete or we may be required to sell these products below cost. When we determine that we will likely not recover the cost of inventory items through future sales, we write down the related inventory to our estimate of its market value. As of March 31, 2002, we had an allowance for excess and obsolete inventory of $9.0 million applied against our gross inventory balance of $31.3 million. Because the products we sell have high average sales prices and because a high number of our prospective customers receive funding from U.S. or foreign governments, it is difficult to estimate future sales of our products and the timing of such sales. It also is difficult to determine whether the cost of our inventories will ultimately be recovered through future sales. While we believe our inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and that our estimates and assumptions to determine any adjustments to the cost of our inventories are reasonable, our estimates may prove to be inaccurate. We may have future sales of inventory previously written down to zero. We may also have additional expense to write down inventory to its estimated market value. Adjustments to these estimates in the future may materially impact our operating results.

     Goodwill. Approximately 17% of our assets as of March 31, 2002, consist of goodwill resulting from our acquisition of the Cray Research business unit from Silicon Graphics in 2000. As discussed above in the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” section, we adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, and no longer amortize goodwill associated with the acquisition, but we will be required to conduct ongoing analyses of the recorded amount of goodwill in comparison to its estimated fair value. These ongoing analyses of whether the fair value of recorded goodwill is impaired will involve a substantial amount of judgment. Future charges related to impairment of goodwill could be material depending on future developments and changes in technology and our business.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2002

     Product Revenue. We had product revenue of $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $27.6 million for the respective 2001 period. Product revenue for 2002 consisted of $8.5 million for our SV1ex product line, $4.1 million for our T90 product line, $1.8 million for our T3E product line, and $652,000 for our MTA-2 product line. The first quarter 2001 results were higher due to a $21.3 million T3E sale in March 2001. We expect our product revenue to vary quarterly. See “Factors That Could Affect Our Future Results — Our Quarterly Performance May Vary Significantly and Could Cause Our Stock Price To Be Volatile.”

     Product revenue represented 43% and 57% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     Service Revenue. We had service revenue, which includes revenue from maintenance services and, beginning in 2002, from professional services, of $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $21.2 million for the respective 2001 period; the 2002 results include $1.6 million from professional services. Maintenance services are provided under separate maintenance contracts with our customers.

     These contracts generally provide for maintenance services for one year, although some are for multi-year periods, and are renewable upon expiration at the customer’s election. We expect maintenance service revenue to decline slowly over the next year or so as older systems are withdrawn from service and then to stabilize as our new systems are placed in service. Professional services are provided under separate contracts for a particular activity, such as deinstalling a computer system, porting a certain application to one of our platforms or use of our computer resources for a particular period, and we expect contracts to vary greatly in size. We received our first revenue from professional services in the first quarter of 2002, and expect that our professional services revenue will increase.

     Service revenue represented 57% and 43% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     Operating Expenses. We had cost of product revenue of $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $14.4 million for the respective 2001 period. Our cost of product represented 31% of product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 52% for the corresponding 2001 period. The decrease reflects unusually high margins from sales of our T90, T3E and SV1ex products during the quarter, as we were able to sell inventory that had been previously expensed or partially or wholly written off. We expect our cost of product revenue to range from 50% to 60% as a percentage of product revenue for the rest of 2002.

     We had cost of service revenue of $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, including $9.5 million for maintenance services and $1.4 million for professional services, compared to $8.1 million for the corresponding 2001 period. Our cost of service revenue represented 54% of service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 38% for the corresponding 2001 period. The increase was primarily due to high costs associated with professional services in the first quarter of 2002 and favorable cost variances in the first quarter of 2001. We expect our overall cost of service revenue to range from 50% to 55% of service revenue for the rest of the year.

     Research and development expenses reflect our costs associated with the enhancements to the SV1 and T3E systems in the 2001 period and the development of the MTA-2 and SV2 systems in both the 2001 and 2002 periods, including related software development. These costs also include personnel expenses, allocated overhead and operating expenses, software, materials and engineering expenses, including payments to third parties. These costs are offset in part by governmental development funding. Net research and development expenses were $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $13.0 million for the respective 2001 period. Government developmental funding was $2.9 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net research and development expenditures represented 30% and 27% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We expect that research and development expenses will decrease in 2002, due to reductions in third-party non-recurring engineering

14


Table of Contents

expenses as we complete development of the MTA-2 and SV2 systems, reductions in personnel and increased governmental funding. Over time, with receipt of increased revenue from products currently under development, sales of the Cray SX-6 series of computers and cluster systems and more professional services engagements, we expect research and development expenses to decrease as a percentage of overall revenue.

     Marketing and sales expenses were $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $4.7 million for the respective 2001 period. We expect quarterly marketing and sales expenses to remain relatively constant for the remaining 2002 quarters.

     General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $2.1 million for the respective 2001 period. We expect quarterly general and administrative expenses to remain relatively constant for the remaining 2002 quarters.

     Restructuring charges were $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to none for the respective 2001 period and represent severance expenses related to the termination of employees in the first quarter of 2002.

     We incurred no amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $1.8 million for the respective 2001 period. Amortization expense relates to the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of the Cray Research business unit on April 1, 2000. Following the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, we determined that there was no impairment related to goodwill and intangible assets, and we will not record any further amortization of goodwill in 2002. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” beginning on page 9 above.

     Other Income (Expense), net. Other income was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to other expense of $424,000 for the respective 2001 period. The increase in other income consisted primarily of a negotiated settlement of a accrued cancellation charge on a purchase commitment.

     Interest Income (Expense), net. Interest income was $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $15,000 for the respective 2001 period. Interest expense was $571,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $1.1 million for the respective 2001 period. The higher interest expense for 2001 was largely due to a non-cash charge of $747,000 associated with the value of the conversion feature of certain investor promissory notes, and a $225,000 non-cash charge for the value of options issued in conjunction with certain investor promissory notes, compared to a non-cash charge of $145,000 in the first quarter of 2002 associated with the financing completed in November 2001. We expect to incur additional non-cash interest charges associated with the financing completed in November 2001, related to the discount recorded on convertible debt issued.

     Taxes. We recorded a provision of $385,000 for income taxes in foreign countries and certain states for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $285,000 for the respective 2001 period. Due to continued losses from operations on an annual basis, there has been no provision for U.S. federal income taxes for any period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable totaled $38.9 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $37.1 million at December 31, 2001. Over that period, cash decreased from $12.4 million to $5.9 million, while restricted cash balances, which serve as collateral for capital equipment loans and leases, decreased from $353,000 to $245,000. These decreases were more than offset by an increase of more than $8.2 million in accounts receivable, which was largely due to a $5.4 million receivable being paid in the first week after the end of the quarter.

     Net cash used by operating activities was $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $8.0 million used in the corresponding 2001 period. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, net operating cash was used primarily by increases in accounts receivable and inventory, offset by an increase in accrued payroll and related expenses.

     Net cash used by investing activities was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $3.6 million for the corresponding 2001 period. Net cash used by investing activities for the 2002 period consisted primarily of $3.2 million spent on additional property, plant and equipment used primarily for computers and electronic test equipment, computer software and furniture and fixtures and $352,000 for service spares.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $10.2 million for the corresponding 2001 period. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, we raised $3.6 million through the sale of common stock to one institutional investor, and raised $1.8 million through the exercise of warrants. We also received $3.5 million from a draw on our line of credit during March 2002.

     Over the next twelve months our significant cash requirements will relate to operational expenses, consisting primarily of personnel costs, costs of inventory and third-party engineering expenses, and acquisition of property and equipment. These expenses include our commitments to acquire components and manufacturing and engineering services. We expect that anticipated product sales, professional services, maintenance services and government funding of research and development expenses, coupled with limitations on operating expenses and capital expenditures, over the next twelve months will generate overall positive cash flow.

     At any particular time, given the high average selling price of our products, our cash position is affected by the timing of payment of product sales, receipt of prepaid maintenance revenue and receipt of government funding of research and development activities. In addition, delays in the development of the MTA-2, or the SV2 system, may require additional capital earlier than planned. While we believe our cash resources will be adequate for the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional equity and/or debt capital if we experience lower than anticipated product sales due to delays in product development, product availability and general economic conditions. In addition, we may raise additional capital to enhance our cash position and working capital position. Financings may not be available to us when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms and may be dilutive to our shareholders.

Factors That Could Affect Future Results

     The following factors should be considered in evaluating our business, operations and prospects and may affect our future results and financial condition.

OUR INABILITY TO OVERCOME THE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES OF COMPLETING THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SYSTEMS COULD CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL. We expect that our success in the remainder of 2002 and following years will depend upon completing the development of the SV2 and MTA-2 systems. These development efforts are lengthy and technically challenging processes, and require a significant investment of capital, engineering and other resources. Delays in completing the design of the hardware components or software of these systems or in integrating the full systems would make it difficult for us to develop and market these systems. We are dependent on our vendors to manufacture components for our systems, and few companies can meet our design requirements. If our vendors are unable to manufacture our components to our design specifications on a timely basis, the completion of our products will be delayed. During the development process we have had, and in the future we may have, to redesign components because of previously unforeseen design flaws. We also may find flaws in our system software, which require correction. Redesign work may be costly and cause delays in the development of these systems, and could make it more difficult for these systems to be successful as commercial products.

LACK OF CUSTOMER ORDERS FOR OUR EXISTING PRODUCTS AND OUR INABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS AT EXPECTED PRICES WOULD LIMIT OUR REVENUE AND OUR ABILITY TO BE PROFITABLE. We will depend on sales of our current products — the Cray SV1ex series, T3E systems, Cray SX-6 and cluster systems — for significant product revenue in 2002. To obtain these sales, we need to assure our customers of product performance and cost effectiveness and overcome market difficulties applicable to each system. Most of our potential customers already own or lease very high-performance computer systems. Some of our competitors may offer trade-in allowances or substantial discounts to potential customers, and we may not be able to match these sales incentives. We may be required to provide discounts to make sales or to provide lease financing for our products, which would result in a deferral of our receipt of cash for these systems. These developments would limit our revenue and resources and would reduce our ability to be profitable.

LACK OF SALES OF THE SX-6 SYSTEM COULD DECREASE OUR REVENUE AND DELAY PROFITABILITY. Cray SX-6 systems from Japan first became available for delivery in North America in the first quarter of 2002, which has delayed our sales efforts. These sales would be adversely affected if NEC does not develop a follow-on product to the SX-6. Supercomputers from Japan have not been available for sale in the United States since 1997, and there may be reluctance among traditional customers, such as governmental agencies and research organizations and industrial users, to purchase supercomputers from non-U.S. sources. In addition, we must appropriately place the SX-6 system within our own product line to avoid customer and market confusion. If we do not obtain certain volumes of sales of Cray SX-6 systems through March 2003, we may lose our North American exclusive distribution rights for this product. Competing successfully with NEC with respect to sales of the SX-6 system outside of North America is difficult.

WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN CONTRACTING TO PROVIDE OUR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, WHICH WOULD DECREASE REVENUE AND AFFECT PROFITABILITY. Our entry into the professional services market is new. We will be using our employees with subject matter expertise, led by experienced professional service leaders we have recently hired, to staff professional services projects on a project-by-project basis. We need to refine our approach and develop

17


Table of Contents

methodologies that change the way we have conducted business in the past. We compete with companies with larger staffs and more experience in the marketing and provision of professional services. For these reasons our entry into the professional services market may not be successful.

LACK OF SALES OF CLUSTER SYSTEMS WOULD REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND DELAY PROFITABILITY. We expect that sales of cluster systems will begin in the second half of 2002. There are many competitive cluster solutions, and pressure on margins is severe. We expect to compete based on increasingly differentiated software, pre-sales integration services, our reputation for excellent post-sales maintenance and support services and our professional services assisting cluster customers finding solutions for their problems. If we cannot develop commercially acceptable software solutions or our services are not sufficiently well-received, then we will have difficulty selling cluster solutions at prices that generate appropriate margins.

GENERAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS COULD DECREASE OUR REVENUE, INCREASE OUR NEED FOR CASH AND DELAY PROFITABILITY. While most of our business is related to the government sector, which is less affected by short-term economic cycles, a slow-down in the overall U.S. and global economy and resultant decreases in capital expenditures has affected sales to our industrial customers and may continue to do so. Cancellations or delays in purchases would decrease our revenue, increase our need for working capital and delay profitability.

LACK OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEMS WOULD INCREASE OUR CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DECREASE OUR ABILITY TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. We have targeted U.S. and foreign government agencies and research laboratories as important sales prospects for all of our products. A few of these agencies fund a portion of our development efforts. The U.S. government historically has facilitated the development of, and has constituted a market for, new and enhanced very high-performance computer systems. Congressional action with respect to the 2002 budget was delayed due to the events of September 11, 2001. The failure of U.S. and foreign government agencies to continue to fund these development efforts, due to lack of funding, change of priorities or for any other reason, or continued delays in funding, would cause us to increase our need for capital and reduce our research and development expenditures.

PROPOSALS AND PURCHASES BASED ON THEORETICAL PEAK PERFORMANCE REDUCE OUR ABILITY TO MARKET OUR SYSTEMS. Our high-performance systems are designed to provide high actual sustained performance on difficult computational problems. Many of our competitors offer systems with higher theoretical peak performance numbers, although their actual sustained performance frequently is a small fraction of their theoretical peak performance. Nevertheless, many requests for proposals, primarily from governmental agencies in the U.S. and elsewhere, have criteria based on theoretical peak performance. Until these criteria are changed, we are foreclosed from bidding or proposing our systems on such proposals, which will limit our revenue potential.

IF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PURCHASES FEWER SUPERCOMPUTERS, OUR REVENUE WOULD BE REDUCED. Historically, sales to the U.S. government have been a significant market for supercomputers. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, approximately 85% of our revenue was derived from sales to various agencies and departments of the U.S. government. Sales to the U.S. government may be affected by factors outside our control, such as changes in procurement

18


Table of Contents

policies and budget considerations. If the U.S. government were to stop or reduce its use and purchases of supercomputers, our revenue would be reduced.

OUR RELIANCE ON THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS POSES SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS. We subcontract the manufacture of substantially all of our hardware components for all of our products, including integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, flex circuits and power supplies, on a sole or limited source basis to third-party suppliers. We also use a contract manufacturer to assemble our SV1ex and T3E components, and plan to do so for our MTA-2 and SV2 systems also. We are exposed to substantial risks because of our reliance on these and other limited or sole source suppliers. For example:

     if a reduction or an interruption of supply of our components occurred, it could take us a considerable period of time to identify and qualify alternative suppliers to redesign our products as necessary and to begin manufacture of the redesigned components;
 
     if we were ever unable to locate a supplier for a component, we would be unable to assemble and deliver our products;
 
     one or more suppliers may make strategic changes in their product lines, which may result in the delay or suspension of manufacture of our components or systems; and
 
     some of our key suppliers are small companies with limited financial and other resources, and consequently may be more likely to experience financial difficulties than larger, well-established companies.

     We have experienced delays in obtaining circuit boards, integrated circuits and flex circuits on a timely basis from our suppliers, which have resulted in delays in the development of our products.

     OUR QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE MAY VARY SIGNIFICANTLY AND COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO BE VOLATILE. One or a few system sales may account for a substantial percentage of our quarterly and annual revenue. This is due to the high average sales price of our products, particularly the Cray T3E system, and the expected high average sales prices for our MTA-2, SX-6 and SV2 systems, and the timing of purchase orders and product acceptances. Because a number of our prospective customers receive funding from the U.S. or foreign governments, the timing of orders from such customers may be subject to the appropriation and funding schedules of the relevant government agencies. The timing of orders and shipments also could be affected by other events outside our control, such as:

     changes in levels of customer capital spending;
 
     the introduction or announcement of competitive products;
 
     the availability of components;
 
     timing of the receipt of necessary export licenses; or
 
     currency fluctuations and international conflicts or economic crises.

     Because of these factors, revenue, net income or loss and cash flow are likely to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

ADDITIONAL FINANCINGS MAY BE DILUTIVE TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS. Over the next twelve months our significant cash requirements relate to operational expenses, primarily for personnel, inventory and third-party engineering services, and acquisition of capital goods. We expect to have positive cash flow from our anticipated product sales, professional services, maintenance

19


Table of Contents

services and government funding of research and development expenses over the next twelve months. At any time, given the high average selling price of our products, our cash position is impacted by the timing of product sales, receipt of prepaid maintenance and receipt of government funding of research and development activities. Delays in the development of either the MTA-2 or SV2 systems may require additional capital earlier than planned. While we believe our cash resources will be adequate for the next twelve months, we may need to raise additional equity and/or debt capital if we experience lower than anticipated product sales due to delays in product availability, general economic conditions and/or failure to receive sufficient governmental support for our products and research activities. In addition, we may raise additional funds to enhance our working capital position. Financings may not be available to us when needed or, if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms and may be dilutive to our shareholders.

OUR UNCERTAIN PROSPECTS FOR EARNINGS COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE. While we have had a substantial increase in revenue with the acquisition of the business operations of Cray Research at the end of March 2000, and have had three profitable quarters since that acquisition, whether we will achieve earnings on a consistent basis will depend on a number of factors, including:

     our ability to market and sell the SV1ex, T3E, SX-6 and cluster systems, engage professional services clients and complete the development of the MTA-2 and SV2 systems;
 
     the level of revenue in any given period;
 
     the cost of servicing the T90 installed base;
 
     the terms and conditions of sale or lease for our products; and
 
     our expense levels, particularly for research and development and manufacturing and service costs.

FAILURE TO OBTAIN RENEWAL OF MAINTENANCE SERVICE CONTRACTS WILL REDUCE OUR REVENUE AND EARNINGS. High-performance computer systems are typically sold with maintenance service contracts. These contracts generally are for annual periods, although some are for multi-year periods. In 2000 and 2001 we performed maintenance services under existing SGI maintenance contracts as a subcontractor to SGI; we now have been successful in having almost all of these contracts assigned to us. As these contracts expire, however, we need to sell new maintenance service contracts to these customers. Revenue from maintenance service contracts has declined from approximately $125 million in 1999 to approximately $83 million in 2001 and is expected to further decline until we develop, sell and install new products. If customers do not renew their maintenance service contracts with us, our revenue and earnings will be reduced.

THE ABSENCE OF THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION SOFTWARE COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO SELL OUR SYSTEMS TO COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS. To make sales in the automotive, aerospace, chemistry and other engineering and commercial markets, we must be able to attract independent software vendors to port their software application programs so that they will run on our systems. The relatively low volume of supercomputer sales makes it difficult for us to attract these vendors. We also modify and rewrite third-party software applications to run on our systems and so facilitate the expansion of our potential markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to induce independent software vendors to rewrite their applications, or that we will successfully rewrite third-party applications for use on our systems.

FAILURE TO OBTAIN CREDIT FACILITIES MAY RESTRICT OUR OPERATIONS. While we have obtained a $15 million secured credit facility based on domestic accounts receivables and maintenance revenue, we are seeking additional credit facilities of up to approximately $4 million, such as bank lines of credit, vendor credit and capitalized equipment lease lines. The absence of a consistent

20


Table of Contents

record of revenue and earnings makes obtaining such facilities more difficult; if we obtain such facilities, they may have high interest rates, contain restrictions on our operations and require security. Failure to obtain such credit facilities may limit our planned operations and our ability to acquire needed infrastructure and other capital items would reduce or eliminate our cash reserves and increase our need for capital.

THE COST OF SERVICE OF THE T90 INSTALLED BASE WILL REDUCE OUR EARNINGS. Some of the components in the T90 vector computers sold by SGI before our acquisition of the operations of Cray Research have an unusually high failure rate. The cost of servicing the T90 computers exceeds the related service revenue. We are continuing to take action that commenced before the acquisition to address this problem, and have recorded a warranty reserve, with a balance of $11.9 million as of March 31, 2002, to provide for anticipated future losses on the T90 maintenance service contracts.

IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, OUR PRODUCTS WILL NOT BE COMPETITIVE. Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technology, accelerated product obsolescence and continuously evolving industry standards. Our success will depend upon our ability to sell our current products, to complete development of the MTA-2 and the SV2 systems and to develop successor systems in the future. We will need to introduce new products and features in a timely manner to meet evolving customer requirements. We may not succeed in these efforts. Even if we succeed, products or technologies developed by others may render our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete. If we incur delays in developing our products or if such products do not gain broad market acceptance or become obsolete, our ability to develop and market our products will be reduced.

IF WE CANNOT ATTRACT, RETAIN AND MOTIVATE KEY PERSONNEL, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVELY OUR BUSINESS PLAN. Our success also depends in large part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled management, technical and marketing and sales personnel. Competition for highly skilled management, technical, marketing and sales personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. We have no employment contracts with any of our employees.

A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF OUR SHARES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND COULD DEPRESS MARKET PRICES OF OUR STOCK AND HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING. Sale of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market or the prospect of sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of March 31, 2002, we had outstanding:

     45,127,474 shares of common stock;
 
     3,125,000 shares of Series A preferred stock convertible into 3,136,763 shares of common stock;
 
     warrants to purchase 14,111,441 shares of common stock;
 
     debentures convertible into an indeterminable number of shares of common stock (a minimum of 3,957,447 shares); and
 
     stock options to purchase an aggregate of 10,984,772 shares of common stock, of which 5,896,928 options were then exercisable.

Almost all of our outstanding shares of common stock may be sold without substantial restrictions. All of the shares purchased under the warrants and exercisable options are available for sale in the public market, subject in some cases to volume and other limitations. The shares of common stock underlying

21


Table of Contents

the Series A preferred stock are not available for public sale until May 2003. Sales in the public market of substantial amounts of our common stock, including sales of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, debentures and options, could depress prevailing market prices for the common stock. Even the perception that sales could occur may impact market prices. The existence of outstanding warrants and options may prove to be a hindrance to our future equity financings. Further, the holders of the warrants and options may exercise them at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable to us. Such factors could impair our ability to meet our capital needs.

THE CONVERSION OF THE DEBENTURES AND THE EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS MAY SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTE OUR COMMON SHAREHOLDERS. In November 2001, we issued 5% convertible subordinated debentures in the aggregate original principal amount of $9,300,000, convertible into shares of our common stock as described below, and common stock purchase warrants for an aggregate of 367,590 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $4.4275 per share, exercisable until November 6, 2004. The holders of the debentures can choose to convert all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding into shares of our common stock at any time before the maturity date of November 6, 2004. The debentures are convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.35 per share from the date of issuance until maturity. In addition, during each three-month period beginning on February 6, 2002, each holder may convert on a cumulative basis up to 25% of the original principal amount of each holder’s debenture at a floating conversion price. The floating conversion price is equal to 94% of the average of the 7 lowest daily volume weighted average prices during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date upon which the debenture is converted.

     The following table outlines the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon conversion in full of the debentures at several hypothetical conversion prices. The table also sets forth the total number of shares the investors would beneficially own at such hypothetical adjustment prices, and assuming exercise in full of the warrants, and the percentage that such shares would constitute of our resulting outstanding common stock, assuming the investors had not purchased or sold any of our securities.

     During calendar year 2001, the closing price of our common stock has ranged from a low of $1.53 to a high of $3.45 per share, and in the first quarter of 2002, the closing prices ranged from a low of $1.82 to a high of $2.66 per share.

(1)   Assumes conversion in full of all debentures at the hypothetical conversion price set forth above. Assumes interest is paid in cash and not in shares of common stock.
(2)   Based on 45,127,474 shares of common stock outstanding on March 31, 2002, plus the shares issuable to the investors under the debentures and the warrants shown above.
(3)   At floating conversion prices above $2.35 per share, the investors would convert at the fixed conversion price of $2.35 per share.

     The conversion prices of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants could be lower than the trading price of our common stock from time to time. The debentures are convertible into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.35 per share from the date of issuance until maturity, and a floating conversion price as described earlier. The floating conversion price generally ensures that the debentures can be converted at a discount from the market price of our common stock at the time of conversion. For that reason, we expect the investors ultimately to convert the entire principal amount of the debentures and to resell the common stock issued to them. The potential or actual issuance of shares under the debentures and upon exercise of the warrants could have a substantial dilutive impact on the holders of our common stock.

THE SALES OF MATERIAL AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF THE DEBENTURES, OR THE PROSPECT OF SUCH SALES, COULD REDUCE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND ENCOURAGE SHORT SALES. Our common stock price may decrease if the holders of the debentures elect to convert and resell their shares of common stock. In particular, as the price of our common stock decreases, if the holders of the debentures elect to convert, we will be required to issue more shares of our common stock, based on the floating conversion price, for any given dollar amount invested by the holders of the debentures. See the table above under “The Conversion of the Debentures and the Exercise of the Warrants May Substantially Dilute Our Common Shareholders.” Any future issuance of a significant number of common shares, or any future sales by the investors of a significant number of common shares, or the prospect of such issuances or sales, could reduce the market price of our common stock. This may encourage short sales by third parties, which could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING MAY BE HINDERED BY THE UNCERTAIN AND POTENTIALLY SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE UNDER THE DEBENTURES. The shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures are linked to a percentage discount to the market price of our common stock at the time of the conversion. We cannot predict the number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion. The lower the price of our common stock at the time of conversion, the more shares of common stock that we will be required to issue upon conversion, which will further dilute holders of our other securities. See the table above under “The Conversion of the Debentures and the Exercise of the Warrants May Substantially Dilute Our Common Shareholders.” This uncertain and potentially substantial number of shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures may hinder our ability to obtain additional financing.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE. The trading price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to:

     changes in analysts’ estimates;
 
     our future capital raising activities;
 
     announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors; and
 
     general conditions in our industry.

     The stock market has been and is subject to price and volume fluctuations that particularly affect the market prices for small capitalization, high technology companies like ourselves.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY IN THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTER MARKET, OUR REVENUE WILL DECLINE. The performance of our products may not be competitive with the computer systems offered by our competitors, and we may not compete successfully over time against new entrants or innovative competitors at the lower end of the market. Periodic announcements by our competitors of new high-performance computer systems and price adjustments may reduce customer demand for our products. Our competitors are established companies that are well known in the high-performance computer market, including IBM, Sun Microsystems, Compaq Computer, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, NEC Corporation (outside of North America), Fujitsu and Hitachi. Each of these competitors has broader product lines and substantially greater research, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and financial resources than we do. We also compete with new entrants capitalizing on developments in parallel processing and increased computer performance through networking and clustering systems. Currently, these products are limited in applicability and scalability and can be difficult to program. A breakthrough in architecture or software technology could make parallel systems more attractive to potential customers. Such a breakthrough would impair our ability to sell our products and reduce our revenue.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND RIGHTS ADEQUATELY. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to establish, protect and enforce our proprietary information and rights. We have a number of patents and have additional applications pending. There can be no assurance, however, that patents will be issued from the pending applications or that any issued patents will protect adequately those aspects of our technology to which such patents will relate. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we cannot be certain that we will succeed in doing so or that our competitors will not independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. Third parties may assert intellectual property claims against us and claims, if proved, could require us to pay substantial damages or redesign our existing products. Even meritless claims would require management attention and would cause us to incur significant expense to defend. The laws of some countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as do the laws of the United States. Although we continue to implement protective measures and intend to defend our proprietary rights vigorously, these efforts may not be successful.

OUR ABILITY TO BUILD SOME PRODUCTS IS LIMITED BY OUR AGREEMENT WITH SILICON GRAPHICS, WHICH MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE WITH SILICON GRAPHICS AND OTHER COMPANIES. The technology agreement through which we acquired and licensed patent, know-how and other intellectual property rights from Silicon Graphics contains restrictions on our ability to develop some products, including specified successors to the T3E system, and restrictions on the use of other technology, such as SGI’s IRIX operating system to the SV2.

IT MAY BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL OUR STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKET. Our common stock is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market. To keep our listing on this market, Cray must meet Nasdaq’s listing maintenance standards. If the bid price of our common stock falls below $1.00 for an extended period, or we are unable to continue to meet Nasdaq’s listing maintenance standards for any other reason, our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. If our common stock were delisted, we likely would seek to list the common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the American Stock Exchange or on a regional stock exchange. Listing on such other market or exchange could reduce the liquidity for our common stock. If our common stock were not listed on the SmallCap Market or an exchange, trading of our common stock would be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities or directly through market makers in our common stock. If our common stock were to trade in the over-the-counter market, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of, the common stock. A delisting from the Nasdaq National Market and failure to obtain listing on such other market or exchange would subject our securities to so-called penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice and market-making requirements on broker-dealers who sell or make a market in such securities. Consequently, removal from the Nasdaq National Market and failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange could affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell or make a market in our common stock and the ability of purchasers of our common stock to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, when the market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, we become subject to penny stock rules even if our common stock is still listed on the Nasdaq National Market. While the penny stock rules should not affect the quotation of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, these rules may further limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of investors to sell our common stock in the secondary market.

U.S. EXPORT CONTROLS COULD HINDER OUR ABILITY TO MAKE SALES TO FOREIGN CUSTOMERS AND OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS. The U.S. government regulates the export of high-performance computer systems such as our products. Occasionally we have experienced delays in receiving appropriate approvals necessary for certain sales, which has delayed the shipment of our products. Delay or denial in the granting of any required licenses could make it more difficult to make sales to foreign customers, eliminating an important source of potential revenue.

PROVISIONS IN OUR AGREEMENT WITH SILICON GRAPHICS MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR SPECIFIED COMPANIES TO ACQUIRE US. The terms of our purchase of the assets of Cray Research contain provisions restricting our ability to transfer the assets of Cray Research. Sales of these assets to Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, IBM, Compaq Computer, NEC or Gores Technology Group, or their affiliates, are prohibited until the earlier of March 31, 2003, or if Silicon Graphics were sold.

PROVISIONS OF OUR ARTICLES AND BYLAWS COULD MAKE A PROPOSED ACQUISITION THAT IS NOT APPROVED BY OUR MANAGEMENT MORE DIFFICULT. Provisions of our restated articles of incorporation and restated bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock. For example, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for:

     a staggered board of directors, so that only two or three of eight directors are elected each year;
 
     removal of a director only in limited circumstances and only upon the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote to elect directors;

25


Table of Contents

     the issuance of preferred stock, without shareholder approval, with rights senior to those of the common stock;
 
     no cumulative voting of shares;
 
     calling a special meeting of the shareholders only upon demand by the holders of not less than 30% of the shares entitled to vote at such a meeting;
 
     amendments to our restated articles of incorporation require the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, unless the amendment was approved by a majority of our continuing directors, who are defined as directors who have either served as a director since August 31, 1995 or were nominated to be a director by the continuing directors;
 
     special voting requirements for mergers and other business combinations, unless the proposed transaction was approved by a majority of continuing directors;
 
     special procedures must be followed to bring matters before our shareholders at our annual shareholders’ meeting; and
 
     special procedures must be followed in order for nominating members for election to our board of directors.

WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE DECLARING ANY DIVIDENDS. We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and we intend to continue our policy of retaining any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, substantially all of our cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in money market funds or commercial paper of less than 90 days that is held to maturity. Accordingly, we believe that the market risk arising from our holdings of these financial instruments is minimal. We sell our products primarily in North America, Asia and Europe. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Our products are generally priced in U.S. dollars, and a strengthening of the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets. While we commonly sell products with payments in U.S. dollars, our product sales contracts occasionally call for payment in foreign currencies and to the extent we do so, we are subject to foreign currency exchange risks. We plan on using forward currency contracts to minimize these risks. Our foreign maintenance contracts are paid in local currencies and provide a natural hedge against local expenses. To the extent that we wish to repatriate any of these funds to the United States, however, we are subject to foreign exchange risks. We do not hold any derivative instruments and have not engaged in hedging transactions. At March 30, 2002, we had fixed rate convertible debentures of $9.3 million and a variable rate term loan of $5.5 million that are both due in 2004. Our minimum payment commitment on the term loan is fixed during the term. Interest payments on our term loan fluctuate with movements of interest rates, increasing in periods of rising rates of interest and declining in periods of decreasing rates of interest.

Part II. Other Information

Item 2. Changes in Securities

     On February 15, 2002, we sold 1,950,000 shares of common stock to Riverview Group, LLC for cash consideration of $3,900,000, in a privately-negotiated transaction in which no party acted as an underwriter. The offer and sale to Riverview Group, LLC was under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3.

     On February 15, 2002, we sold 2,919,548 shares of common stock to Banca del Gottardo for cash consideration of $5,839,000 in a private placement. These shares were issued pursuant to an exercise of warrants issued on June 21, 1999, which had had their exercise price reduced to $2.00 per share. In addition, we extended the exercise period of outstanding June 21, 1999, warrants for 1,454,321 shares from June 21, 2002 to June 21, 2004 and changed the exercise price to $3.00 per share. No party acted as an underwriter in this transaction. The issuance of the shares and warrants were exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder because of the nature of the investor and the manner in which the offering was conducted.

28 EX-3.1 3 v81482ex3-1.txt EXHIBIT 3.1 Exhibit 3.1 AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF CRAY INC. SECTION 1 SHAREHOLDERS AND SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS 1.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders of this corporation (the "Corporation") for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held each year at the principal office of the Corporation, or at some other place either within or without the State of Washington as designated by the Board of Directors, on the day and at the time specified in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, or on such other day and time as may be set by the Board of Directors. If the specified day is a Sunday or a legal holiday, then the meeting will take place on the next business day at the same time or on such other day and time as may be set by the Board of Directors. 1.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President or a majority of the Board of Directors. Further, for so long as the Corporation is a "public company" under Title 23B RCW, a special meeting of the shareholders shall be held if the holders of not less than 30% of all the votes entitled to be cast on the issue proposed to be considered at such special meeting have dated, signed and delivered to the Secretary one or more written demands for such meeting, describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held; provided, however, that if the Corporation is not a "public company" under Title 23B RCW, the percentage of votes required to call a special meeting shall be 25%. The meetings shall be held at such time and place as the Board of Directors may prescribe, or, if not held upon the request of the Board of Directors, at such time and place as may be established by the Chairman of the Board or the President, as applicable, or by the Secretary in the absence of the Chairman and President. 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the place, date and time of the annual shareholders' meeting and written notice of the place, date, time and purpose or purposes of special shareholders' meetings shall be delivered not less than 10 (or, if required by Washington law, 20) or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either personally, by facsimile, or by mail, or in any other manner approved by law, by or at the direction of the Chairman, the President or the Secretary, to each shareholder of record entitled to notice of such meeting. Mailed notices shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail, first-class postage prepaid, correctly addressed to the shareholder's address shown in the Corporation's current record of shareholders. Notice given in any other manner -1- shall be deemed effective when dispatched to the shareholder's address, telephone number or other number appearing on the records of the Corporation. 1.4 Waiver of Notice. Except where expressly prohibited by law or the Restated Articles of Incorporation, notice of the place, date, time and purpose or purposes of any shareholders' meeting may be waived in a signed writing delivered to the Corporation by any shareholder at any time, either before or after the meeting. Attendance at the meeting in person or by proxy waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting. A shareholder waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at a meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. 1.5 Shareholders' Action Without a Meeting. The shareholders may take any action without a meeting that they could properly take at a meeting, if one or more written consents setting forth the action so taken are signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter and are delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. If required by Washington law, all nonvoting shareholders must be given written notice of the proposed action at least 10 days before the action is taken, unless such notice is waived in a manner consistent with these Bylaws. Actions taken under this section are effective when all consents are in the possession of the Corporation, unless otherwise specified in the consent. A shareholder may withdraw consent only by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Corporation prior to the time that all consents are in the possession of the Corporation. 1.6 Telephone Meetings. Shareholders may participate in a meeting of shareholders by means of a conference telephone or any similar communications equipment that enables all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other during the meeting. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting. 1.7 List of Shareholders. At least 10 days before any shareholders' meeting, the Secretary of the Corporation or the agent having charge of the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall have prepared an alphabetical list of the names of the shareholders on the record date who are entitled to notice of a shareholders' meeting, arranged by voting group, and within each voting group, by class or series of shares, and showing the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. 1.8 Quorum and Voting. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter at a meeting shall constitute a quorum of shareholders for that matter. If a quorum exists, action on a matter shall be approved by a voting group if the votes cast within a voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast within the voting group opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by the Restated -2- Articles of Incorporation or by Washington law. If the Restated Articles of Incorporation or Washington law provide for voting by two or more voting groups on a matter, action on a matter is taken only when voted upon by each of those voting groups counted separately. Action may be taken by one voting group on a matter even though no action is taken by another voting group. 1.9 Adjourned Meetings. If a shareholders' meeting is adjourned to a different place, date or time, whether for failure to achieve a quorum or otherwise, notice need not be given of the new place, date or time if the new place, date or time is announced at the meeting before adjournment. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in these Bylaws, that determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless Washington law requires fixing a new record date. If Washington law requires that a new record date be set for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to shareholders as of the new record date. Any business may be transacted at an adjourned meeting that could have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. 1.10 Proxies. A shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by signing an appointment form, either personally or by an agent. No appointment shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless the appointment form expressly so provides. An appointment of a proxy is revocable unless the appointment is coupled with an interest. No revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has actually been received by the Secretary of the Corporation or any other person authorized to tabulate votes. 1.11 Business for Shareholders' Meetings. 1.11.1 Business at Annual Meetings.

To be properly brought before an annual meeting business must be (i) brought by or at the direction of the Board or (ii) brought before the meeting by a shareholder by inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to the provisions of Rule 14a-8 under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor provision, when and if such Rule is applicable thereto, or if such business is not so included in the Corporation's proxy statement, only pursuant to written notice thereof in accordance with subsection 1.12 hereof, and received by the Secretary not fewer than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the date of such annual meeting (or, if less than 60 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made to the shareholders, not later than the close of business on the tenth business day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs). (b) Any such shareholder notice shall set forth (i) the -3- name and address of the shareholder proposing such business; (ii) a representation that the shareholder is entitled to vote at such meeting; (iii) a statement of the number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the shareholder and the date upon which such shares were acquired; (iv) a representation that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business; and (v) as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, the language of the proposal (if appropriate), and any material interest of the shareholder in such business. (c) No business shall be conducted at any annual meeting of shareholders except in accordance with this subsection 1.11.1. If the facts warrant, the Board, or the chairman of an annual meeting of shareholders, may determine and declare that (i) a proposal does not constitute proper business to be transacted at the meeting or (ii) the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 1.11.1 and if, in either case, it is so determined, any such business shall not be transacted. 1.11.2 Business at Special Meetings. At any special meeting of the shareholders, only business within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice required by Section 1.3 may be conducted. 1.12 Notice to Corporation.

SECTION 2 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2.1 Number and Qualification. The business affairs and property of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of a Board of Directors, the number of members of which is hereby set at eight (8) A member of the Board of Directors does not need to be a shareholder of the Corporation or a Washington resident. 2.2 Election--Term of Office. 2.2.1 The directors shall be elected by the shareholders at each annual shareholders' meeting or at a special shareholders' meeting called for such purpose. 2.2.2 The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes of directors, with said classes to be as equal in number as may be possible. Initially, two directors shall be assigned to Class 1, two directors shall be assigned to Class 2, -4- and two directors shall be assigned to Class 3. Any director or directors in excess of the number divisible by three shall be first assigned to Class 1 and any additional director shall be assigned to Class 2, as the case may be. (For example, if there are eight directors, the seventh director shall be in Class 1 and the eighth director in Class 2.) At the first election of directors to such classified Board of Directors, each Class 1 Director shall be elected to serve until the next ensuing annual meeting of shareholders, each Class 2 Director shall be elected to serve until the second ensuing annual meeting of shareholders and each Class 3 Director shall be elected to serve until the third ensuing annual meeting of shareholders. At each annual meeting of shareholders following the meeting at which the Board of Directors is initially classified, the number of directors equal to the number of directors in the class whose term expires at the time of such meeting shall be elected to serve until the third ensuing annual meeting of shareholders. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, directors shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal from office, or until there is a decrease in the number of directors; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. 2.2.3 The term of office of a director shall commence effective immediately upon election, unless otherwise specified in a resolution approved by the shareholders in connection with the election of such director. Directors shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal from office, or until there is a decrease in the authorized number of directors; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. 2.3 Nominations. 2.3.1 Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors by the shareholders. Nominations for the election of directors may be made (a) by or at the direction of the Board or (b) by any shareholder of record entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting; provided, however, that a shareholder may nominate persons for election as directors only if written notice (in accordance with section 1.12 hereof) of such shareholder's intention to make such nominations is received by the Secretary not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of the shareholders, not fewer than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the date of such annual meeting (or, if less than 60 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made to the shareholders, not later than the close of business on the tenth business day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs) and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the tenth business day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first mailed to shareholders. -5- 2.3.2 Any such shareholder's notice shall set forth (a) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make a nomination; (b) a representation that the shareholder is entitled to vote at such meeting; (c) a statement of the number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the shareholder and the dates upon which such shares were acquired; (d) a representation that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (e) as to each person the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, the name and address of such person and such other information regarding such nominee as would be required in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission had such nominee been nominated by the Board, and a description of any arrangements or understandings, between the shareholder and such nominee and any other persons (including their names), pursuant to which the nomination is to be made; and (f) the consent of each such nominee to serve as a director if elected. 2.3.3 If the facts warrant, the Board, or the chairman of a shareholders' meeting at which directors are to be elected, shall determine and declare that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure and, if it is so determined, the defective nomination shall be disregarded. The right of shareholders to make nominations pursuant to the foregoing procedure is subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation. The procedures set forth in this section 2.3 for nomination for the election of directors by shareholders are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any procedures now in effect or hereafter adopted by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof. 2.4 Removal. 2.4.1 Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed only for cause and only by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the shares entitled to elect the director or directors whose removal is sought. Such action may only be taken at a special meeting of the shareholders called expressly for that purpose, provided that notice of the proposed removal, which shall include a statement of the charges alleged against the director, shall have been duly given to the shareholders together with or as a part of the notice of the meeting. 2.4.2 The vacancy created by the removal of a director under this section 2.4 shall be filled only by a vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares then entitled to elect the director removed. Such vote may be taken at the same meeting at which the removal of such director was accomplished, or at such later meeting, annual or special, as the shareholders may decide. 2.5 Vacancies. Subject to the provisions of section 2.4 hereof and unless the Restated Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, vacancies in the Board of Directors, whether caused by resignation, death, retirement, disqualification, increase in the number of directors, or otherwise, may be filled for -6- the remainder of the term by the Board of Directors, by the shareholders, or, if the directors in office constitute less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors. The term of a director elected to fill a vacancy expires upon the election and qualification of his or her successor. A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs. 2.6 Quorum and Voting. At any meeting of the Board of Directors, the presence in person (including presence by electronic means such as a telephone conference call) of a majority of the number of directors presently in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall a quorum be less than one-third of the authorized number of directors. If a quorum is present at the time of a vote, the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at the time of the vote shall be the act of the Board of Directors and of the Corporation except as may be otherwise specifically provided by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, by these Bylaws, or by law. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors when action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (a) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his or her arrival, to holding it or to transacting business at the meeting; (b) the director's dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (c) the director delivers written notice of his or her dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Corporation within a reasonable time after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken. 2.7 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place, date and time as shall from time to time be fixed by resolution of the Board. 2.8 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any place and at any time and may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer, or any two or more directors. 2.9 Notice of Meetings. 2.9.1 Unless the Restated Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, any regular meeting of the Board of Directors may be held without notice of the date, time, place, or purpose of the meeting. Any special meeting of the Board of Directors must be preceded by at least two days' notice of the date, time, and place of the meeting, but not of its purpose, unless the Restated Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws require otherwise. Each director shall have a mailing address, telephone number and facsimile number on record with the Corporation for purposes of receiving notice. 2.9.2 Notice may be given personally, by facsimile, by mail, or -7- in any other manner allowed by law. Oral notice shall be sufficient only if a written record of such notice is included in the Corporation's minute book. Notice shall be deemed effective at the earliest of: (a) receipt; (b) delivery to the proper address or telephone number of the director as shown in the Corporation's records; or (c) three days after its deposit in the United States mail, as evidenced by the postmark, if correctly addressed and mailed with first-class postage prepaid. 2.9.3 Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors may be waived by any director at any time, by a signed writing, delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes, either before or after the meeting. Attendance or participation by a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of any required notice of the meeting unless the director promptly objects to holding the meeting or to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting was not lawfully convened and the director does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. 2.10 Directors' Action Without A Meeting. The Board of Directors or a committee thereof may take any action without a meeting that it could properly take at a meeting if one or more written consents setting forth the action are signed by all of the directors, or all of the members of the committee, as the case may be, either before or after the action is taken, and if the consents are delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Such action shall be effective upon the signing of a consent by the last director to sign, unless the consent specifies a later effective date. 2.11 Committees of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, by resolutions adopted by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors in office, may create from among its members one or more committees and shall appoint the members thereof. Each such committee must have two or more members, who shall be directors and who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Each committee of the Board of Directors may exercise the authority of the Board of Directors to the extent provided in its enabling resolution and any pertinent subsequent resolutions adopted in like manner, provided that the authority of each such committee shall be subject to applicable law. Each committee of the Board of Directors shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and shall report to the Board of Directors when requested to do so. 2.12 Telephone Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors or of any committee appointed by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment that enables all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other during the meeting. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting. 2.13 Compensation of Directors. The Board of Directors may fix the compensation of directors as such and may authorize the reimbursement of their expenses. -8- SECTION 3 OFFICERS 3.1 Officers Enumerated--Election.

"Continuing Directors" means any member of the Board of Directors (i) who was a member of the Board of Directors on August 31, 1995, or (ii) who is elected to the Board of Directors after August 31, 1995 after being nominated by a majority of the Continuing Directors voting separately and as a subclass of directors on such nomination. -14- SECTION 10 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OTHERS 10.1 Grant of Indemnification. Subject to section 10.2, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether formal or informal, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of the Corporation or who, while a director of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of this or another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. 10.2 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding section 10.1, no indemnification shall be provided hereunder to any such person to the extent that such indemnification would be prohibited by the Washington Business Corporation Act or other applicable law as then in effect, nor, except as provided in section 10.4 with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, shall the Corporation indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person except where such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 10.3 Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in this section shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, except where the Board of Directors shall have adopted a resolution expressly disapproving such advancement of expenses. 10.4 Right to Enforce Indemnification. If a claim under section 10.1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, or if a claim for expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition authorized under section 10.3 is not paid within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, to the extent successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. The claimant shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification hereunder upon submission of a written claim (and, in an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance -15- of its final disposition, where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation), and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption that the claimant is so entitled. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action with respect to expenses authorized under section 10.3) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible hereunder or under the Washington Business Corporation Act for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. 10.5 Alternate Procedures. Pursuant to RCW 23B.08.560(2) or any successor provision of the Washington Business Corporation Act, the procedures for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this section are in lieu of the procedures required by RCW 23B.08.550 or any successor provision of the Washington Business Corporation Act. 10.6 Nonexclusivity. The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Restated Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, general or specific action of the Board, contract or otherwise. 10.7 Indemnification of Officers, Employees and Agents. The Corporation, by action of its Board of Directors from time to time, may provide indemnification and pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding to officers, employees and agents of the Corporation on the same terms and with the same scope and effect as the provisions of this section with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors of the Corporation or pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by, the Washington Business Corporation Act or on such other terms as the Board may deem proper. 10.8 Insurance and Other Security. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity or arising from his or her status as an officer, director, agent, or employee, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the same liability under the Washington Business Corporation Act. The Corporation may enter into contracts with any director or officer of the Corporation in furtherance of the provisions of this section and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this section. 10.9 Amendment or Modification. This section may be altered or amended at any time as provided in these Bylaws, but no such amendment shall have the effect of diminishing the rights of any person who is or was an officer or director as to any acts or omissions taken or omitted to be taken prior to the effective date of such amendment. -16- 10.10 Effect of Section. The rights conferred by this section shall be deemed to be contract rights between the Corporation and each person who is or was a director or officer. The Corporation expressly intends each such person to rely on the rights conferred hereby in performing his or her respective duties on behalf of the Corporation.
