(1) In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation.  These adjustments consist only of normal recurring
items. For further information, refer to the financial statement and 
footnotes included or incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual 
Report on form 10K for the year ended December 31, 1993.


(2) Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1994 are not
 necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 
 ending December 31, 1994.

(3) During the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
 Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Investments
 in Certain Debt and Equity Securities.  The adoption of this standard
 did not have a material impact on consolidated results of operations.


(4) On April 8, 1994, the Company repurchased on the open market a portion
 of its Convertible Subordinated Debenture Bonds with a face value of $23.0
 million for a purchase price of $20.4 million.  The repurchase resulted
 in a gain of $2.6 million which will be recognized in the second quarter
 of 1994.

</TABLE>
 Revenue increased 22.8% in the first quarter of 1994 from the same period in
 1993, reflecting a $49.5 million increase in sales revenue, flat lease
 revenues, and a $3.3 million decline in service fees.  At March 31, 1994,
 533 systems were installed, compared to 473 a year earlier.

 The sales revenue increase for the quarter resulted from improved revenue
 from sales of upgrades and peripherals and the higher volume of 
 installations and lease-to-purchase conversions (three lease-to-purchase
 conversions during first quarter of 1994 compared to zero during first
 quarter of 1993).  Product mix shifted to smaller systems, with more
 2-processor and 4-processor systems being installed at the high-end,
 and a substantial increase in low-end systems volume.  This mix change,
 together with continued market pricing pressures, is expected to result in
 significantly lower average selling prices in 1994 compared to 1993. 
 To meet its 1994 revenue goals, the Company must achieve a significant
 increase in the number of systems accepted, many of which will be new
 customer installations.

                                (continued)

 Service fees declined 6.7% in the quarter.  As new products replace old,
 average service revenue per installation is declining.  Smaller systems
 result in lower monthly service fees.  In addition, the new systems are
 more reliable, enabling the Company to offer, and more customers to accept,
 lower priced service options with less coverage.

 The order backlog at March 31, 1994 was $271 million, compared to $381
 million a year earlier and $409 million at December 31, 1993. The
 Company believes backlog information provides only a limited indication of
 its expected future revenue.  The backlog at the end of the first quarter
 was affected by a number of factors: historically, the first quarter has
 a relatively low order rate; higher than normal installations during the
 first quarter depleted backlog; a few large orders expected during the
 quarter were not completed before quarter-end; procurement cycles for
 high-end systems are lengthening, especially for government customers; and
 the time period between order and acceptance for low-end systems is shorter,
 resulting in lower backlogs for that part of the business.

========         ========      ============================     ==========
</TABLE>
 The total gross profit percent declined from 45.3% in the first quarter of
 1993 to 43.4% in 1994, reflecting decreased margins on sales and service
 fees.  Leased systems margins improved, but had little impact on overall
 margins because of the small lease base.

 Sales and service margins reflect the pressures referred to in the Revenue
 discussion above:  product mix shift to smaller systems which achieve lower
 margins; continued market pricing pressures; and lower priced service
 options which will not be accompanied by proportionately lower costs until
 the installed base becomes large enough to provide additional economies of
 scale.

 The Company does not expect the full year 1994 total gross profit percent
 to exceed the level achieved in the first quarter.

========         ========     ============================      =========
</TABLE>

 Total operating expenses for the first quarter increased 9.1% from 1993 
 to 1994.  Investments are being made in the development of follow-on products
 to CRAY C90 and CRAY EL systems, in applications development, and in
 increased marketing and selling efforts for low-end products.  The decline
 in general and administrative expenses reflects the timing of charitable
 contributions.

 The Company continues to employ the expense control management begun with
 the restructuring at the end of 1992.  Even with the significant investments
 described above, the Company plans to limit full-year 1994 operating expense
 growth to about 6%.

 The effective tax rate for the quarter was 30.0%, compared to 32.0% for
 the first quarter of 1993.  The 1993 rate did not include the benefit of the
 Federal Research and Development tax credit, which was reinstated in the
 third quarter of last year.


Financial Condition
- - --------------------

 The Company used $85.0 million of cash during the first quarter of 1994.
 With a $15.0 million transfer from long-term investments into cash, cash and
 equivalents declined $70.0 million during the period.  Total cash and 
 investments declined from $235.4 million at December 31, 1993 to $150.0
 million at March 31, 1994. 

 Operations used $59.3 million of cash during the first quarter, compared
 to $61.5 million of cash provided by operations during the first quarter
 of 1993.  A few large sales at the end of the quarter resulted in a large
 increase in receivables in 1994, whereas receivables declined during the
 first three months of 1993. The increase during the first quarter of 1994
 includes an increase in long-term receivables related to one CRAY C90
 transaction which will be financed in the second quarter of 1994. Overall,
 changes in receivables account for a $103.0 million decline in cash from
 operations.

 For the year, the Company expects cash from operations to be sufficient
 to fund all investing and financing activities except repurchases of common
 stock.  The Company repurchased 249,400 shares for $7.7 million during the
 quarter, and had authorization remaining to repurchase up to 1.5 million
 additional shares.

 Capital expenditures totalling $20.5 million comprised the only other major
 use of cash during the quarter.  The Company expects 1994 capital 
 expenditures to exceed the 1993 level; significant investments in
 manufacturing facilities and equipment are planned to bring new products
 to market.

 In addition to cash and investment balances, the Company has available an
 unused, unsecured $75 million line of credit.  The Company believes its
 liquidity and financial flexibility remain adequate to meet its requirements.
