                             RADIUS CREDITOR ACCORD

       SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 31, 1996 -- Radius today announced a non binding
letter of intent with representatives of its largest creditors to exchange
approximately $50 million in claims for approximately two thirds of the
outstanding equity in Radius. The debt to equity conversion is expected to be
concluded primarily through a private placement of Radius preferred and common
stock and warrants and is contingent on the restructuring of Radius' secured
lending relationship as well as a very high level of participation by all
creditors. This agreement in principle is subject to final documentation, and
the related transactions are expected to close in August 1996.

       THE SECURITIES TO BE OFFERED WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES
ABSENT REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS.
