ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On March 31, 2000, Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI" or the "Company") completed
the sale of its Cray-Registered Trademark- vector product line to Tera
Computer Company ("Tera"). SGI received approximately $15 million in cash, a
$36 million promissory note, due in three equal quarterly installments
beginning June 30, 2000, and 1 million shares of unregistered Tera common
stock, valued at approximately $6.5 million at March 31, 2000. In the event
the promissory note is not paid in full by December 31, 2000, an additional
$5 million in cash will be payable to SGI. Based upon the March 31, 2000
anticipated carrying value of the Cray vector product line and estimated
costs and expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the
transaction, the Company anticipates that it will record an overall gain of
approximately $15 million from the transaction. However, because SGI will
account for the promissory note proceeds as the cash is received under the
scheduled note payment, the Company anticipates that it will record a pre-tax
loss on the sale of the Cray vector product line of approximately $21 million
in its third quarter ended March 31, 2000. Both the anticipated overall gain
and third quarter loss are subject to adjustment (if any) based on the final
determination of the net asset value of the assets sold and the liabilities
assumed at March 31, 2000. The transferred assets primarily consist of
product inventory, spares inventory and certain property and equipment. Tera
assumed all product liability and warranty obligations and obligations for
product service and support, as well as certain employee benefit obligations.

Beginning April 1, 2000, SGI and Tera will work together in accordance with a
transition service agreement to ensure a smooth transition of the operations
to Tera. SGI will provide certain accounting services, logistics fulfillment,
and other operational and support activities until such time as Tera takes
over these activities, expected to be no later than September 30, 2000.

In addition, pursuant to a Services Contract Agreement, SGI will contract
with Tera to provide the services under the existing service contracts
pertaining to the Cray product line sold to Tera, generally until such
contracts expire or are renewed. This arrangement is expected to continue
through March 31, 2001.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(b) Pro forma financial information

On March 31, 2000, SGI completed the sale of its Cray vector product line to
Tera. SGI received approximately $15 million in cash, a $36 million
promissory note, due in three equal quarterly installments beginning June 30,
2000, and 1 million shares of unregistered Tera common stock, valued at
approximately $6.5 million at March 31, 2000. In the event the promissory
note is not paid in full by December 31, 2000, an additional $5 million in
cash will be payable to SGI. Based upon the March 31, 2000 anticipated
carrying value of the Cray vector product line and estimated costs and
expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the transaction, the
Company anticipates that it will record an overall gain of approximately $15
million from the transaction. However, because SGI will account for the
promissory note proceeds as the cash is received under the scheduled note
payment, the Company anticipates that it will record a pre-tax loss on the
sale of the Cray vector product line of approximately $21 million in its
third quarter ended March 31, 2000. Both the anticipated overall gain and
third quarter loss are subject to adjustment (if any) based on the final
determination of the net asset value of the assets sold and the liabilities
assumed at March 31, 2000. The transferred assets primarily consist of
product inventory, spares inventory and certain property and equipment. Tera
assumed all product liability and warranty obligations and obligations for
product service and support, as well as certain employee benefit obligations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1999 is presented as if the transaction had occurred as of that date. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended June 30, 1999 are presented as
if the transaction had occurred July 1, 1999 and July 1, 1998, respectively.


<PAGE>

The pro forma adjustments represent, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present the SGI's pro forma results of operations
and financial position in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X and
are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered
reasonable under the circumstances.

The Cray vector product line was not a reportable segment of SGI. The pro
forma statements of operations include only the Cray vector product line
revenue, cost of revenue and direct expenses. While SGI maintained separate
accounts to capture direct research and development and direct product
specific marketing activities of the Cray vector product line, SGI did not
allocate corporate services, information services, selling, other marketing,
or general and administrative expenses to the Cray vector product line. The
expenses charged to the Cray vector product line are not necessarily
indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred had the Cray vector
product line operated as a stand-alone business.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with SGI's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended December 31, 1999 and the audited and consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999. The pro forma information
many not necessarily be indicative of what the Company's results of operations
or financial position would have been had the transaction been in effect as of
and for the periods presented, nor is such information necessarily indicative of
the Company's results of operations or financial position for any future period
or date.

SGI COMPLETES SALE OF CRAY VECTOR BUSINESS TO TERA COMPUTER COMPANY

     Sale Allows SGI to Increase Focus on High Performance Server Market,
     Represents Key Milestone in Corporate Execution

     April 4, 2000

     MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (April 4, 2000)--SGI (NYSE: SGI) today announced that
     it has completed the sale of its Cray-Registered Trademark- vector
     business, a portion of its overall high performance server business, to
     Tera Computer Company (NASDAQ:TERA). The announcement makes good on the
     definitive agreement previously announced by the two companies on March 2,
     2000.

     "SGI strongly believes that the scalable NUMA architecture, rather than
     vectors, provides the most compelling price/performance model for the
     technical compute market of today and tomorrow," said Ken Coleman, senior
     vice president, Global Sales, Service and Marketing, SGI. "Today's
     announcement should be viewed in that context. We are positioning SGI for
     aggressive growth in the technical compute market with high performance,
     scalable servers. Our efforts are focused on systems incorporating a
     next-generation, highly scalable NUMA architecture and advanced clustering
     technology, together with a broad array of technical applications and
     solutions."

     Through a licensing agreement, SGI has retained substantial intellectual
     property, including certain patents, arising from the Cray business both
     before and after SGI's acquisition of Cray Research, Inc. in 1996. SGI
     retains exclusive rights to its modular, scalable NUMA technology,
     including current and future products, and supporting software, system and
     service engineers, as well as non-vector operations in Chippewa Falls, Wis.
     and Eagan, Minn. Also unaffected by the sale are SGI's current NUMA
     products, the SGITM OriginTM server and Silicon
     Graphics-Registered Trademark- Onyx2-Registered Trademark- visual
     workstation lines.

     Under the terms of the sale, Tera has assumed ownership of the Cray product
     line, including the Cray SV1TM, Cray T3ETM and Cray T90TM systems; existing
     service contracts; future Cray vector products, including the Cray SV2TM
     system; and three facilities in Chippewa Falls. Tera has extended
     employment offers to the approximately 800 Cray vector business employees.

     The sale price of $58 million was comprised of approximately $51 million in
     cash and notes, which will be paid in installments through December 31,
     2000, and one million shares of Tera common stock.

     The discussion in this news release of the sale of the Cray vector
     supercomputer business contains forward-looking statements that involve
     risks and uncertainties and other risks detailed from time to time in the
     company's SEC reports, including the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
     ended December 31, 1999 and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
     1999. Actual results may vary materially.

     graphics solutions that enable customers to understand and conquer their
     toughest computing problems. Headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., with
     offices worldwide, the company is located on the Web at www.sgi.com.
