PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: The following discussion
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Statements indicating that the Company or management "intends", "plans",
"expects," "estimates" or "believes" are forward-looking, as are all other
statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other
events that have not yet occurred. There are several important factors that
could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those
anticipated by the forward-looking statements contained in this discussion and
other sections of this Form 10-K. Such factors include, but are not limited
to: the Company's ability to achieve profitability; the Company's ability to
dispose of its remaining holdings in Splash on a timely and profitable basis;
the Company's ability to repay its indebtedness to IBM Credit; the Company's
ability to successfully negotiate a favorable license renewal for Apple Quick
Time 3.0 (and greater); the timely payment of royalty obligations by Umax to
the Company and Umax's success in the Mac clone business, the Company's
ability to successfully renew its lease of space for its main offices in
Sunnyvale; the Company's ability to successfully conclude or settle its patent
infringement litigation with EFI, the success of the Apple Macintosh computer
line and operating system, the success of Apple as well as the Company's
ability to compete successfully with Apple; the Company's ability to
successfully develop and introduce new products to keep pace with
technological innovation, particularly in light of its limited financial
resources; the Company's ability to successfully market its software products
and to execute its cross platform strategy; the Company's ability to compete
in its market; the ability of the Company's manufacturers and suppliers to
deliver components and manufacture the Company's products; the Company's
reliance on international sales and the effect of its partially exclusive
distributor arrangements with respect to Europe and Japan; and the Company's
ability to attract and retain its key personnel.
OVERVIEW
The Company designs, develops, assembles, markets and supports color
publishing and digital video computer products for creative professionals.
The Company's current product line includes: multimedia authoring and editing
video systems and software that can acquire and manipulate video and audio
information; high resolution color reference displays that allow users to
view text, graphics, images and video; accelerated color graphics products
that facilitate the creation of graphical images; and PCI bus adapter cards
featuring Windows compatibility to users of MacOS products ("PC on a card" or
"DOS on Mac" products).
The primary target markets for the Company's products are color
publishing and multimedia. These markets encompass creative professionals
involved in such areas as multimedia authoring, color prepress, graphic arts,
video editing, video and multimedia production and playback and corporate
training.
To date, substantially all of the Company's products have been designed
for and sold to users of Macintosh computer products (the "Macintosh")
manufactured by Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") as Apple products have been the
preferred platform in the Company's target markets. The Company's current
product development plans include adding cross platform (Windows) capabilities
to some of the Company's products in order to market these products to users
of the Windows operating system.
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
Company has incurred substantial operating and net losses. During fiscal 1996
and 1997, management implemented a number of actions to address its cash flow
and operating issues including: restructuring its outstanding indebtedness to
trade creditors and its secured creditor, as discussed below; refocusing its
efforts on providing solutions for high end digital video and graphics
customers; discontinuing sales of mass market and other low value added
products; divesting a number of businesses and product lines, including its
Color Server Group, which is now known as Splash Technology Holdings, Inc.
("Splash"); significantly reducing expenses and headcount; and reducing its
lease obligations for its current facility lease given its reduced occupancy
requirements.
During September 1996, the Company, IBM Credit Corporation ("IBM Credit")
and many of the Company's unsecured creditors consummated a restructuring of
the Company's then outstanding delinquent indebtedness pursuant to which the
Company's creditors received equity in satisfaction of their claims (the
"Plan"). The Company issued 36,294,198 shares of Common Stock in satisfaction
of approximately $45.9 million in unsecured claims and repaid approximately
$1.9 million of unsecured claims, most of which were less than $50,000, at an
average discount of approximately 75% of the amount of the claim. The Company
also issued 750,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock to IBM Credit in
satisfaction of $3.0 million indebtedness and in consideration of
restructuring its then remaining approximately $23.4 million indebtedness to
IBM Credit. All 750,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemed
by
-2-
<PAGE>
the Company in September 1997 at which time all long term debt to IBM
Credit was repaid with the proceeds from the sale of shares of Splash Common
Stock held by the Company. As of December 31, 1997 the Company's working
capital line of credit obligation to IBM Credit was $6.5 million.
The Company's executive offices are located at 215 Moffett Park Drive,
Sunnyvale, CA 94089, and its telephone number is (408) 541-6100.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
POTENTIAL NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET DELISTING
The Company's Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
pursuant to an agreement with the NASD which requires that the Company comply
with the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
Failure to meet the continued listing requirements in the future would subject
the Common Stock to delisting. Companies traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
will be required commencing in March 1998, for example, to maintain a minimum
bid price of $1.00 per share. Because the Company's Common Stock has not
traded over $1.00 per share since November 1996, the Common Stock could be
delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. As a result, the Board of
Directors has proposed, subject to shareholder approval at the February 1998
annual meeting of shareholders, a significant reverse stock split if the
trading price of the Company's Common Stock remains below $1.00 per share, but
there can be no assurance that such a proposal will be timely approved by the
shareholders, or if approved, that the stock price will perform as hoped. If
the Company's Common Stock is delisted, there can be no assurance that the
Company will meet the requirements for initial inclusion on Nasdaq in the
future, particularly in light of the fact that Nasdaq requires traded
securities to have a $4.00 minimum per share bid requirement. Moreover, the
NASD is considering the elimination of the SmallCap Market altogether.
Trading, if any, in the listed securities after delisting or the elimination
of the SmallCap Market would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in
what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets." As a result, investors
may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as
to the value of, the Company's securities
VALUE AND LIQUIDITY OF INTEREST IN SPLASH TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.
A significant portion of the Company's net worth and liquidity is
represented by the Company's remaining holdings in Splash. As of December 31,
1997, the Company owned 530,139 shares of Splash Common Stock, net of IBM
Credit's option to purchase 174,113 shares at a nominal price. As of that
date the closing price for Splash Common Stock was $22.50 per share. Although
the Company may trade its shares in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 or
privately, the market price of Splash Common Stock has been volatile with
relatively limited volume since Splash's secondary public offering in August
1997. There are other shareholders in Splash with large blocks of restricted
common stock who may try to sell their shares at the same time as the Company.
If too many shares are offered for sale at the same time, the price may be
depressed. The Company's business plan for fiscal 1998 assumes that the
proceeds from the sale of Splash Common Stock held by the Company will be
sufficient to repay the balance of the IBM Credit facility and to provide
sufficient working capital to the Company during fiscal 1998, but there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively time its sales or
that the market value of Splash Common Stock will be adequate to achieve such
goals. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."

that the products are still available for sale.
** Since the Reply transaction in March 1997, the Company has also sold
several DOS on Mac products, which are no longer being manufactured. The
Company does not expect to devote significant resources to the development or
sale of such products during fiscal 1998.
DIGITAL VIDEO SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE
Radius offers a number of products for both the multimedia authoring and
the non-linear digital video editing and production market. Non-linear
digital editing enables video editors to manipulate pictures and sound in a
faster, easier and more cost effective manner than traditional analog tape-
based systems. Editors can randomly access and digitally "cut and paste"
images, videos and sound clips avoiding the tedious process of winding and
rewinding of linear tape and the subsequent physical cutting and splicing of
film segments.
PhotoDV is an Adobe Photoshop import plug-in that includes the Radius
FireWire card and a digital interface cable. PhotoDV enables a Digital Video
("DV") camcorder to perform as a still image camera, in addition to being used
to record video. Pictures are acquired digitally over FireWire and can be used
for Web sites, picture databases, printed pages, and QuickTimed VR scenes.
MotoDV is the first product for MacOS computers to provide a digital
basis for editing DV footage. MotoDV is targeted at video designers and
other creative professionals who produce video and multimedia content for
tape, CD-ROM, and Web
-4-
<PAGE>
delivery. The MotoDV application remotely controls the DV camcorder or VTR
over FireWire and captures DV clips, in real-time or time-lapse mode. As
clips are being captured, MotoDV converts the integrated DV data stream into
QuickTime movies with separate video and audio tracks. These clips can then
be imported into any QuickTime application, including Adobe Premiere, Radius
Edit, and Adobe After Effects.
EditDV is a digital non linear editing system which operates on the
MacOs in conjunction with digital camcorders, Apple's QuickTime (an industry
standard architecture of digital media) and FireWire connections. Users can
create digital video with multiple video and effects tracks, rubber-band
audio, and traditional wipes and fades for fast interactive editing, color
modification and keying.
VideoVision, Radius' leading desktop video hardware product, was the
first QuickTime compatible video editing and production system that supported
full-screen (640 x 480 pixels), full-motion video at 60-fields per-second.
VideoVision offers JPEG video compression/decompression capabilities, 16-bit
CD stereo audio and allows users to output their finished product directly
and easily to videotape. VideoVision is compatible with QuickTime-based
software applications for editing, effects, titling, graphics, animation and
audio.
Radius also offers QuickTime-compliant digital video non linear editing,
compositing and animation software applications that facilitate the creation
and editing of digital video content. Radius Edit 2.0 is a non-linear
professional digital video editing solution that features an intuitive user
interface, FX templates, built-in titling, multiple key frames, batch
digitizing and picture-in-picture capabilities. Radius Edit 2.0 also offers
a variety of high-quality special effects for digital video editing including
pan-zoom-rotating, chroma keying and compositing.
The Company expects to continue to invest significant resources in its
software digital video products during fiscal 1998 including adding cross
platform functionality for the Windows environment and intends to introduce
various enhancements to these products.
COLOR REFERENCE AND MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS
The Company currently offers two large color reference displays designed
for desktop color publishers and graphic artists. The PressView SR series is
designed to offer the color accuracy, resolution and clarity needed for high
quality color prepress, media authoring, photography, medical imaging and
scientific image processing. These color reference displays offer consistent
and accurate color preproofing at resolutions of up to 1600 by 1200 pixels.
The PrecisionView 21 also offers resolutions of up to 1600 by 1200 pixels but
at a lower price point. The PressView SR series supports Kodak
PrecisionColor, Agfa FotoFlow, Apple ColorSync 2.0 and EFI Color management
systems to ensure color accuracy. The Company no longer offers monochrome
displays.
Color peripherals tend to vary over time from their original
specifications, thus causing significant color variances. Display
calibrators control the way peripherals produce color, making the color more
consistent and predictable. The Company's Prosense Display Calibrator works
with sensing technology and Macintosh software to measure the actual color
performance of a display and then adjusts information in the Macintosh
graphics card so that the colors will be accurate. This product also
communicates with a number of third party color management systems to provide
color information about the display so that color can be managed from one
peripheral to another.
The Company expects to focus its development efforts on the software elements
of its color business during fiscal 1998 in addition to adding cross platform
functionality.
ACCELERATED COLOR GRAPHICS PRODUCTS
The Radius graphics product families has offered a wide range of user
choices to enhance the graphics performance of Apple Macintosh computers
based on both the NuBus and PCI bus architectures. All NuBus based products
were discontinued prior to fiscal 1997. The choices range from an entry
level accelerated 8-bit color graphics card (256 colors with up to 1 million
pixels of color display information) to a variety of accelerated 24-bit color
graphics cards (up to 16.7 million colors). All of the Company's graphics
card products offer a range of high speed QuickDraw acceleration features and
support numerous Radius, Apple and other third-party displays ranging from
13-inches to 21-inches in size. The Company's graphics card products also
allow the user to switch resolutions "on-the-fly" without having to reboot
the computer.
-5-
<PAGE>
The Thunder and ThunderPower class graphics cards offer enhanced
resolutions, as well as a number of other acceleration capabilities for Adobe
Photoshop, a popular application for working with computer images. These
graphics cards also feature hardware pan and zoom capability, enabling users
to quickly change the size and the amount of the information on their color
display. The Company believes these capabilities allow users working with
large amounts of detailed information to be more productive because they can
quickly accomplish a variety of tasks using these hardware-based acceleration
features.
The Company does not expect to continue to devote significant resources
to the development or sale of graphics accelerator cards during fiscal 1998.
TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company's fiscal 1997 research and development efforts have focused
on graphics acceleration products for the MacOS. With the realignment of the
Company's business, its current development focus is on the software elements
of its digital video and color businesses with cross platform (i.e., Windows
as well as MacOS) functionality. The Company's research and development
efforts are focused on creating new products and technologies for customers
who create, review, approve and utilize high resolution color images and
moving video. Current research and development efforts include: (i)
performance improvements and cost reductions of current products; (ii)
development of application software to facilitate the creation and
manipulation of video and high resolution still and full motion images; (iii)
development of next generation technology to enable new methods of displaying
and creating digital video information with greater flexibility, speed, and
quality; iv) development of technology to permit use of the Company's color
display and digital video software products in the Windows operating
environment; and (v) development of technology to permit the use of the
Company's color calibration and matching systems with the displays of
manufacturers other than Mitsubishi.
The Company believes that the competitive nature of the computer
industry, along with the rapid pace of technological evolution, requires that
it continue to introduce innovative products on a timely basis to compete
effectively. During fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's expenditures
for research and development totaled $5.0 million, $7.5 million and $19.3
million, respectively. To date, all of the Company's research and development
expenditures have been charged to operations as incurred. Because of its
smaller size and narrowing of product focus, the Company does not anticipate
having research and development expenditures equal to earlier levels. Because
of the Company's diminished development resources, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to successfully develop new or enhanced
products. There can be no assurance that the Company's development efforts
will result in commercially successful products, or that the Company's
products will not be rendered obsolete by changing technology or new products
introduced by others. Additionally, should the Company fail to introduce new
products on a timely basis, the Company's operating results could be adversely
affected. In the past, the Company expended substantial resources towards its
MacOS product line which did not achieve profitability. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results of Operations --
Technological Change; Continuing Need to Develop New Products."
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
Domestically the Company employs a two-tiered distribution model whereby
it sells its products primarily through a limited number of distributors that
in turn distribute the Company's products to a variety of resellers including
superstores, independent dealers, educational resellers, systems integrators,
value added resellers and mail order resellers. The Company's domestic
distributors and master resellers purchase products at discounts from
suggested retail prices based on purchase volumes. The Company also makes
limited direct sales efforts in the United States and intends to pursue Web-
based sales of certain or its products during fiscal 1998.
In the United States, the Company sells its products primarily through
the following major distributors: Ingram Micro, Inc.; and MicroAge. The
Company's business and financial results are highly dependent on the success
of these distributors. To assist these domestic distributors and to provide
marketing, training and technical support, the Company provides sales
representatives in a number of locations in the United States.
Radius provides market development funds to give distributors incentives
to increase sales, improve reporting and achieve a product mix favoring higher
margin products.
Internationally, sales are made through foreign distributors, which
market, sell and service the Company's products. During fiscal 1996, the
Company entered into exclusive distributor arrangements with respect to Japan
and Europe which result in commissions to the Company, rather than gross sales
proceeds. For fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the
-6-
<PAGE>
Company's export sales accounted for approximately 15.7%, 50.7% and 40.4%,
respectively, of the Company's net sales. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. The Company's export sales are subject to certain risks
common to international operations, such as currency fluctuations
and governmental regulation. During the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the
exclusivity clause in the agreement with the Japanese distributor was
terminated. No other distribution relationship for Japan has been entered into
by the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Certain Factors That May Affect the
Company's Future Results of Operations -- International Sales."
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, one
customer accounted for approximately 66.1%, 34.3% and 34.0% of the Company's
net sales, respectively.
Many of the Company's distributors have the right to return products
purchased from the Company. While the Company provides for estimated product
returns, if in the future the Company were to experience returns from
customers significantly in excess of this estimate, such returns could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company's marketing programs support worldwide sales and distribution
of its products. The Company's principal marketing activities include frequent
participation in industry trade shows and seminars, advertising in major trade
publications worldwide, public relations activities with the trade and
business press, publication of technical articles, distribution of sales
literature and product specifications and communications with its installed
base of end users. The Company's marketing programs are designed to generate
sales leads for its distributors and master resellers as well as to enhance
the Company's brand name recognition.
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS
As a result of the Company's outsourcing of manufacturing, substantially
all of the Company's assembly, quality control testing, packaging and other
manufacturing operations are performed by the Company's suppliers, contract
manufacturers, and other subcontractors. The Company has developed a quality
assurance program with these third parties.
The Company attempts to utilize standard parts and components available
from multiple vendors. However, certain components used in the Company's
products are available only from sole or limited suppliers. The Company's
products have also incorporated components, such as video random access
memory, that are available from multiple sources but have been subject to
substantial fluctuations in availability and price. Although the Company has
been able to obtain an adequate supply of such components in the past, there
can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain an adequate supply in the
future. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's Future
Results of Operations -- Dependence on Limited Number of Manufacturers and
Suppliers."
COMPETITION
All markets in which the Company competes are expected to remain highly
competitive. The Company's principal competitors in the color reference and
management market include Apple, Barco and Mitsubishi Electronics. The
Company's principal competitors in the digital video market include Adobe,
Adaptec, ProMax, DPS, Avid Technology, Inc.. and Fast Electronics GmbH. The
Company's principal competitors in the graphics acceleration market include
ixMicro Corporation. The market for the Company's products is evolving, and
it is difficult to predict all future sources of competition. Therefore, the
Company could face significant competition in the future from newly
established companies or newly introduced or improved products of others.
Although Apple is principally a supplier of general purpose computing
platforms upon which third parties are encouraged to build more complete
solutions, the Company also faces competition from Apple. Apple markets a
number of products, including color displays, that compete directly or
indirectly with the Company. Apple also could introduce additional products,
add functionality to their computer systems that is similar to that provided
by certain of the Company's products, or alter its systems' architecture in a
manner that could adversely affect the Company's ability to compete. For
example, Apple's Power PC based products which have on-board graphic
functionality and faster processing speed, could be considered competitors of
specific product lines of the Company's. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Certain Factors
That May Affect the Company's Future Results of Operations -- Dependence on
and Competition with Apple."
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors for its
product line are product performance, breadth of distribution, brand name
recognition, price and customer support. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully with respect to these factors.
In addition, many of the Company's current and prospective competitors have
-7-
<PAGE>
significantly greater technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than
the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will
compete effectively with current or future competitors or that competitive
pressures faced by the Company will not have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results of
Operations -- Competition."
PATENTS AND LICENSES
The Company relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and
trade secret protection, nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements
to establish and protect its proprietary rights. The Company has a number of
patents and patent applications and intends to file additional patent
applications as it considers appropriate. There can be no assurance that
patents will issue from any of these pending applications or, if patents do
issue, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect the
Company's technology. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patents
that may be issued to the Company will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, or that any rights granted thereunder would provide proprietary
protection to the Company. The Company has a number of trademarks and
trademark applications. There can be no assurance that litigation with
respect to trademarks will not result from the Company's use of registered or
common law marks, or that, if litigation against the Company were successful,
any resulting loss of the right to use a trademark would not reduce sales of
the Company's products in addition to the possibility of a significant damages
award. Although, the Company intends to defend its proprietary rights,
policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology or products is difficult,
and there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful.
The laws of certain foreign countries may not protect the proprietary rights
of the Company to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
The Company has received, and may receive in the future, communications
asserting that its products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties,
and the Company is engaged and has been engaged in litigation alleging that
the Company's products infringe others' patent rights. As a result of such
claims or litigation, it may become necessary or desirable in the future for
the Company to obtain licenses relating to one or more of its products or
relating to current or future technologies, and there can be no assurance that
it would be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms. See "Legal
Proceedings" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's
Future Results of Operations -- Dependence on Proprietary Rights."
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately 61 full time
employees. 24 of which are in sales and marketing functions, 16 of which are
in research and development, and the balance are in administration (finance,
operations, and senior management).
The Company's success will depend, in large measure, on its ability to
attract, motivate and retain highly qualified technical, marketing,
engineering and management personnel, who are in great demand. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results of
Operations -- Dependence on Key Personnel."
The Company's employees are not represented by any collective bargaining
agreements, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The
Company believes that its employee relations are good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's primary facility is located in Sunnyvale, California and
consists of leased space of approximately 45,000 square feet. The Company
believes that its current facilities are in excess of its current needs. The
lease on the primary facility will expire in March 1998. The Company expects
to be able to renew its current lease for reduced space or to be able to lease
new space within the local area for a total cost that is consistent with its
current costs.
The Company has subleased to other companies approximately 145,000 square
feet of facilities which the Company is currently not using.

The Company had maintained field sales facilities in a number of
locations throughout the United States as well as in Surrey, England; Paris,
France; Hamburg, Germany; and Tokyo, Japan but discontinued such activities
during fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(a) On November 16, 1995, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. ("EFI") filed a
suit in the United States District Court in the Northern District of
California alleging that the Company infringes a patent allegedly owned by
EFI. Although the complaint does not specify which of the Company's products
allegedly infringe the patent, subsequent pleading indicates that EFI alleges
that the Company's Color Server products allegedly infringe. In January 1996,
the Company completed the divestiture of the Color Server Group.
The Company has filed an answer denying all material allegations, and has
filed counterclaims against EFI alleging causes of action for interference
with prospective economic benefit, antitrust violations, and unfair business
practices. EFI's motion to dismiss or sever the Company's amended
counterclaims was granted in part and the ruling permitted the Company to file
an amended counterclaim for antitrust violations. The Company has filed an
amended antitrust claim. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to
EFI's claims and is defending them vigorously. In addition, the Company
believes it has indemnification rights with respect to EFI's claims. A motion
for summary judgment based on these indemnification rights disposing of EFI's
claims was filed, and the court granted this motion finding the Company immune
from suit under the patent after February 22, 1995. The Company expects to
vigorously defend the remaining claims of EFI and to vigorously prosecute the
claims it has asserted against EFI. In the opinion of management, based on
the facts known at this time, although the eventual outcome of this case is
unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or
financial position of the Company, the costs of defense, regardless of
outcome, may have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or
financial position of the Company. In addition, in connection with the
divestiture of its Color Server business, the Company has certain
indemnification obligations for which approximately $2.0 million remains held
in escrow at September 30, 1997 to secure such obligations in the event that
the purchaser (Splash) suffers any losses resulting from such claims.
(b) The Company is involved in a number of other judicial and
administrative proceedings incidental to its business, including a lawsuit by
Intelligent Electronics, Inc. in the Denver federal court claiming
approximately $800,000. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company intends to defend such lawsuits vigorously and
although adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur in one or more of such
cases, the final resolution of these lawsuits as well as the costs of defense
and prosecution, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. However,
depending on the amount and timing of an unfavorable resolution of these
lawsuits, it is possible that the Company's future results of operations or
cash flows could be materially adversely affected in a particular period.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's Common Stock was quoted on the Nasdaq National Market from
August 21, 1991 until July 1, 1996. The Company's Common Stock is now quoted
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "RDUS." The high and low sales
prices for the Common Stock are indicated below. See "Recent Developments -
Potential Nasdaq SmallCap Market Delisting."

First Quarter 15/32 1 13/16
Second Quarter 5/16 17/32
Third Quarter 3/16 13/32
Fourth Quarter 1/4 23/32
On December 31, 1997, there were approximately 3350 holders of record of
the Company's Common Stock.
The price of the Company's Common Stock has fluctuated widely in the
past. Management believes that such fluctuations may have been caused by
announcements of new products, quarterly fluctuations in the results of
operations and other factors, including changes in conditions of the personal
computer industry in general and of Apple Computer in particular, changes in
the Company's results of operations and financial condition and recent sales
of large numbers of shares of Common Stock by former creditors of the Company.
Stock markets, and stocks of technology companies in particular, have
experienced extreme price volatility in recent years. This volatility has had
a substantial effect on the market prices of securities issued by the Company
and other high technology companies, often for reasons unrelated to the
operating performance of the specific companies. Due to the factors referred
to herein, the dynamic nature of the Company's industry, general economic
conditions, the substantially larger number of freely tradeable shares of
Common Stock held by former creditors of the Company and other factors, the
Company's future operating results and stock prices may be subject to
significant volatility in the future. Such stock price volatility for the
Common Stock has in the past provoked securities litigation, and future
volatility could provoke litigation in the future that could divert
substantial management resources and have an adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations.
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common
Stock. In addition, the terms of the Company's restructured loan agreement
with IBM Credit prohibits the payment of any cash dividends so long as any
amounts are outstanding under the loan agreement. Accordingly, the Company
anticipates that it will retain any future earnings for use in its business or
the retirement of debt and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on
its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

indebtedness to IBM Credit; the Company's ability to successfully negotiate a
favorable license renewal for Apple Quick Time 3.0 (and greater); the timely
payment of royalty obligations by Umax to the Company and Umax's success in
the Mac clone business, the Company's ability to successfully renew its lease
of space for its main offices in Sunnyvale; the Company's ability to
successfully conclude or settle its patent infringement litigation with EFI,
the success of the Apple Macintosh computer line and operating system, the
success of Apple as well as the Company's ability to compete successfully
with Apple; the Company's ability to successfully develop and introduce new
products to keep pace with technological innovation, particularly in light of
its limited financial resources; the Company's ability to successfully market
its software products and to execute its cross platform strategy; the
Company's ability to compete in its market; the ability of the Company's
manufacturers and suppliers to deliver components and manufacture the
Company's products; the Company's reliance on international sales and the
effect of its partially exclusive distributor arrangements with respect to
Europe and Japan; and the Company's ability to attract and retain its key
personnel.

FISCAL 1997 TO FISCAL 1996
NET SALES. The Company's net sales for fiscal 1997 decreased 65.5% to
$31.2 million from $90.3 million for fiscal 1996. The decline is due to the
following factors: the Company's efforts to refocus its business on higher
margin products; the divestiture of certain business units, such as its Color
Server Copy Group which had $7.0 million in sales for fiscal 1996; entering
into distributor arrangements for Japan and Europe effective April 1, 1996
and July 1, 1996, respectively, which relationships provide for the Company
to recognize as net sales, a percentage of the sales price of each product
sold by those distributors as compared to the entire sales price of the
product which was recognized by the Company as net sales prior to the
appointment of these distributors; uncertainty regarding the viability of the
Apple Macintosh product line; and the slow development of the 3D graphics
market due to limited applications software availability. As a result of
these factors, product sales decreased 70.2% in fiscal 1997 from fiscal 1996.
Commissions and royalties increased in fiscal 1997 by 125.5% to $4.9 million
from $2.2 million in fiscal 1996 due to the distributor relationships in
Europe and Japan and due to royalties paid by Umax Computer Corporation under
its license agreement for the MacOS compatible systems signed in February
1996. Also as a result of the distributor relationships in Japan and Europe,
the Company's export sales for fiscal 1997 declined to 15.7% of net sales as
compared to 50.7% of net sales for fiscal 1996.
The Company anticipates significantly lower overall net sales in the
immediate future as a result of its decision to focus its efforts on its
color publishing and digital video software product lines while discontinuing
the development of its accelerated color graphics products and its DOS on Mac
products. As a result, the Company also anticipates that the proportion of
hardware sales will decline in the coming periods. For example, in the
Company's digital video product line, the sales of the systems products have
been declining while the sale of the software products for digital video
camcorders (PhotoDV introduced in April 1997 and MotoDV introduced in
September 1997) have increased during 1997. The Company's EditDV product,
which the Company introduced in November 1997, may add to this trend. There
can be no assurance that sales of these software products will continue to
increase or that they will increase to a sufficient extent to offset the
anticipated decline in hardware sales. Moreover, the Company anticipates
that its royalties from Umax will decline significantly during fiscal 1998
due to Apple's decision not to extend the operating system licenses and the
expiration of this obligation in March 1998.
One customer accounted for 66.1% of the Company's net sales for
fiscal 1997. For fiscal 1996 the same distributor accounted for 34.3% of the
Company's net sales.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit margin was 0.4% for fiscal
1997, as compared with 14.3% for fiscal 1996. Included in fiscal 1997 cost
of sales are one-time charges of $9.7 million consisting principally of
inventory write downs of $7.7 million reflecting current market conditions
for the Company's products and reserves for excess purchase order commitments
of $2.0 million for inventory in excess of anticipated demand. These charges
reflect decreases in demand and the Company's decision to refocus its
business. Included in fiscal 1996 cost of sales was a one-time charge of $3.5
million resulting from the Company's financial restructuring completed in
September 1996. Excluding these one time charges, gross profit margin in
fiscal 1997 was 31.5% compared to 18.3% in fiscal 1996. This increase was a
result of the Company's decision to refocus its business on higher margin
products.
The Company anticipates continued price reductions and margin pressure
within its industry; however, these trends may be offset if the Company
increases sales of higher gross margin software products that are expected to
become a focus of the Company's sales and marketing efforts in the coming
periods. Additionally, the Company is taking further steps to reduce product
costs and controlling expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company's
gross margins will improve or remain at current levels.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
decreased from $7.5 million or 8.3% of net sales for fiscal 1996 to $5.0
million or 16.1% of net sales for fiscal 1997. The Company decreased its
research and development expenses primarily by reducing expenses related to
headcount resulting from the Company's efforts to refocus its business and
business divestitures. The increase in research and development expenses
expressed as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 1997 was primarily
attributed to the decrease in net sales and the Company's refocusing on
higher-end products, rather than high-volume lower-margin products. The
Company expects to devote approximately $3 million to development in its
digital video and color product lines during fiscal 1998.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from $25.9 million or 28.7% of net sales
for fiscal 1996 to $21.4 million or 68.6% of net sales for fiscal 1997.
Included in these expenses for fiscal 1997 is a $2.6 million charge to
increase the allowance for doubtful accounts due to accounts which the
Company determined were unlikely to be collected in full. Included in these
expenses for fiscal 1996 was a reduction of $0.9 million for a reduction in
restructuring reserves to reflect the then current requirements. Adjusting
for these charges and reductions, selling, general and administrative
expenses would have been $18.8 million or 60.3% of net sales in fiscal 1997,
compared to $26.8 million or 29.7% of net sales in fiscal 1996. The Company
decreased its selling, general and administrative expenses primarily by
-14-
<PAGE>
reducing expenses related to headcount resulting from the Company's efforts
to refocus its business and business divestitures. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales
was primarily attributed to the decrease in net sales and the Company's
refocusing on higher-end products, rather than high-volume, lower-margin
products. Although the Company expects selling, general and administrative
expenses to increase gradually over time, the Company does not expect them to
approach historical levels in absolute amount.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income was $30.6 million for fiscal
1997 compared to $24.0 million for fiscal 1996. The other income for fiscal
1997 was due to the sale of 996,875 shares of Splash Common Stock in August
1997. The other income in fiscal 1996 was primarily due to approximately
$23.8 million resulting from the Company's divestitures of three business
lines, including the Color Server Group.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $2.8 million for fiscal 1997 as
compared to $3.7 million for fiscal 1996. This decrease was due to lower
average borrowings.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded a provision for income
taxes of $316,000 for fiscal 1997 as compared to $815,000 for fiscal 1996.
The provision for fiscal 1997 differs from the provision computed utilizing
the combined statutory rate in effect during the period primarily as a result
of the impact of foreign taxes offset by the impact of previously unbenefited
net operating losses and the reversal of existing deferred tax assets. The
provision for fiscal 1996 differs from the provision computed utilizing the
combined statutory rate in effect during the period primarily as a result of
the impact of foreign taxes.
FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, provides for the
recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more
likely than not. The Company's valuation allowance reduced the deferred tax
asset to the amount realizable. The Company has provided a full valuation
allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties
surrounding their realization. Due to the net losses reported in prior years
and as a result of the material changes in operations, predictability of
earnings in future periods is uncertain. The Company will evaluate the
realizability of the deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis.
As a result of the issuance of Common Stock and Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in exchange for certain liabilities of the Company in
September 1996, the Company experienced a "change in ownership" as defined
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, utilization of
substantial net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards will be subject
to an approximate $2.0 million annual limitation due to the ownership change
limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (and similar state
provisions), except under limited circumstances. This limitation will result
in the expiration of all of the tax credit carryforwards and a substantial
portion of the net operating loss carryforwards without full utilization.
See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
NET INCOME (LOSS). As a result of the above factors, the Company had
net income of $996,000 in fiscal 1997 compared to a net loss of $975,000 for
fiscal 1996. The Color Server Group had net income of approximately $0.9
million for fiscal 1996. Had this business not been included in the
calculation of the Company's net loss for fiscal 1996, the Company would have
had a net loss of approximately $1.9 million.
FISCAL 1996 TO FISCAL 1995
NET SALES. Net sales for fiscal 1996 decreased 70.7% to $90.3 million
from $308.1 million in fiscal 1995. This decline was primarily due to the
Company's efforts to refocus its business which included exiting markets for
high-volume low-margin displays, reduced sales of the Company's video and
graphics products caused by Apple's shift from NuBus to PCI Bus computers,
business divestitures and as a result of entering into distributor
arrangements for Japan and Europe effective April 1,1996 and July 1,1996,
respectively, which relationships provide for the Company to recognize as net
sales, a percentage of the sales price of each product sold by those
distributors as compared to the entire sales price of the product prior to
the appointment of the distributor.
As a result of the sale by the Company of its Color Server Group, the
Company recorded no net sales of color server products after the second
quarter of its 1996 fiscal year. The Company sold its Color Server Group in
January 1996 and sold its MacOS business in February 1996. Net sales from the
Color Server Group were approximately $7.0 million for fiscal 1996 and
approximately $29.3 million for fiscal 1995 and net sales from the MacOS
business were approximately ($1.5 million) for fiscal 1996 and $21.8 million
for fiscal 1995. Had the net sales of these businesses not been included in
the Company's net sales for fiscal 1996 or fiscal 1995, the Company's net
sales for such periods would have been approximately $84.8 million and $257.0
million for fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.
One customer accounted for 34.3% of the Company's net sales for fiscal
1996. For fiscal 1995, the same customer accounted for 34.0% of the
Company's net sales.
-15-
<PAGE>
The Company's export sales for fiscal 1996 were 50.7% of net sales as
compared to 40.4% of net sales for fiscal 1995. Net sales have been
adversely affected in the future as a result of the distributor relationships
for Japan and Europe because the Company earned royalties and commissions on
sales to such regions and therefore only recognized as net sales a portion of
the sales price of any product sold through such distributor arrangements.
Even if sales for such regions increase or remain similar to historic levels,
the Company therefore recognizes a lesser amount of net sales for such
regions as compared to historic levels. Export sales are also subject to the
normal risks associated with doing business in foreign countries such as
currency fluctuations, longer payment cycles, greater difficulties in
accounts receivable collection, export controls and other government
regulations and, in some countries, a lesser degree of intellectual property
protection as compared to that provided under the laws of the United States.
The Company hedges substantially all of its trade receivables denominated in
foreign currency through the use of foreign currency forward exchange
contracts based on third party commitments. Gains and losses associated with
currency rate changes on forward contracts are recognized in the Company's
consolidated statements of operations upon contract settlement and were not
material in fiscal 1996 or 1995.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit margin was 14.3% for fiscal
1996, as compared with 1.7% for fiscal 1995. Included in fiscal 1996 is a
one-time charge of $3.5 million resulting from the Company's financial
restructuring completed in September 1996. Excluding this one time charge and
the restructuring and other charges recorded in fiscal 1995, gross profit
margin in fiscal 1996 was 18.2% compared to 16.9% in fiscal 1995.
In addition, the Color Server Group had gross profit of approximately
$2.2 million for fiscal 1996 and the Color Server Group and MacOS business
had gross profit (loss) of approximately $9.8 million and ($19.2 million),
respectively, for fiscal 1995. Had those businesses not been included in the
calculation of the Company's gross profit for fiscal 1996 and 1995, gross
profit for such fiscal years would have been approximately $10.6 million and
$14.6 million, respectively with a gross profit margin of approximately 12.6%
and 5.7%, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
decreased from $19.3 million or 6.3% of net sales for fiscal 1995 to $7.5
million or 8.3% of net sales for fiscal 1996. The Company decreased its
research and development expenses primarily by reducing expenses related to
headcount resulting from the Company's efforts to refocus its business and
business divestitures. The increase in research and development expenses
expressed as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 1996, was primarily
attributed to the decrease in net sales and the Company's refocusing on
higher-end products, rather than high-volume lower-margin products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from $90.1 million or 29.2 % of net sales
for fiscal 1995 to $25.9 million or 28.7% of net sales for fiscal 1996. The
Company decreased its selling, general and administrative expenses primarily
by reducing expenses related to headcount resulting from the Company's
efforts to refocus its business and business divestitures. Selling general
and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995 reflected a reduction of
approximately $2.1 million of merger-related restructuring reserves to
reflect current requirements.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the building in which the
Company leases its headquarters was sold. In connection with the sale, the
Company terminated its existing lease and entered into a lease with the new
owner of the building. In connection with the final terms of this new lease,
expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 included a reduction of
approximately $913,000 of restructuring reserves to reflect current
requirements.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income was $24.0 million for fiscal
1996, as compared to other expense of $3.0 million for fiscal 1995. The
increase was due primarily to other income of approximately of $23.8 million
resulting from the Company's divestitures of three business lines, including
the Color Server Group.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $3.7 million for fiscal 1996 as
compared to $3.0 million for fiscal 1995. This increase was due to higher
average interest rates on higher average borrowings.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded a provision for income
taxes of $815,000 for fiscal 1996 as compared to a provision for income taxes
for fiscal 1995 of $9.1 million. The provision for fiscal 1996 differs from
the provision computed utilizing the combined statutory rate in effect during
the period primarily as a result of the impact of foreign taxes. The fiscal
1995 provision differs from the provision computed utilizing the combined
statutory rate in effect during the period primarily as a result of the
impact of not benefiting the 1995 operating losses and the reversal of
existing deferred tax assets.
NET INCOME (LOSS). As a result of the above factors, the Company had a
net loss of $975,000 for fiscal 1996, as compared to a net loss of $131.7
million for fiscal 1995. The Color Server Group had net income of
approximately $0.9 million and $3.5 million for fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively . Had this business not been included in the calculation of the
Company's net loss for fiscal 1996 and 1995, the Company would have had a net
loss of approximately $1.9 million and $135.2 million for fiscal 1996 and
1995, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING, MERGER AND OTHER CHARGES
During fiscal 1994 and 1995, three restructuring and other charges were
recorded. SuperMac recorded a $16.6 million restructuring charge during
December 1993 in connection with a program to realign its inventory and
facility and personnel resources. Subsequently, the two companies merged and
incurred a restructuring charge of $43.4 million. In September 1995, Radius
recorded $57.9 million restructuring charge in connection with the Company's
efforts to refocus and streamline its business. A discussion of each of
these events follows.
SUPERMAC DECEMBER 1993 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES: In December
1993, SuperMac recorded charges of $16.6 million in connection with a program
to adjust inventory levels, eliminate excess facilities, terminate certain
projects and contract arrangements and reduce the number of employees. The
charges (in thousands) are included in: cost of sales ($13,352); research
and development ($2,000); and selling, general and administrative expenses
($1,238). There have been no material changes in the restructuring plan or
in the estimates of the restructuring costs. The remaining balance of
$236,000 at September 30, 1995 in its restructuring reserve which related to
facility costs, was eliminated in fiscal 1996.
RADIUS FISCAL 1994 MERGER RELATED RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company recorded charges of $43.4
million in connection with the Merger of Radius and SuperMac Technology Inc.
These charges include the discontinuance of duplicative product lines and
related assets; elimination of duplicative facilities, property and equipment
and other assets; and personnel severance costs as well as transaction fees
and costs incidental to the merger. The charges (in thousands) are included
in: net sales ($3,095); cost of sales ($25,270); research and development
($4,331); and selling, general and administrative expenses ($10,711). The
remaining balance of $44,000 in its restructuring reserve which related to
facility costs, was eliminated in fiscal 1997.
RADIUS FISCAL 1995 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In September 1995,
Radius recorded charges of $57.9 million in connection with the Company's
efforts to restructure its operations by refocusing its business on the color
publishing and multimedia markets. The charges primarily included a
writedown of inventory and other assets. Additionally, the charges included
expenses related to the cancellation of open purchase orders, excess
facilities and employee severance. The charges (in thousands) are included in
cost of sales ($47,004), and selling, general and administrative expense
($10,861). The elements of the total charge as of September 30, 1997 are as
follows (in thousands):

Total charges $ 57,865 $ 37,900 $19,945 $ 20
</TABLE>
The adjustment of inventory levels reflects the discontinuance of
several product lines. The provision for excess facility costs represents
the write-off of leasehold improvements and the costs associated with
anticipated reductions in facilities. The cancellation fees and asset
write-offs reflect the Company's decision to refocus its efforts on providing
solutions for the color publishing and multimedia markets. Employee
severance costs are related to employees or temporary employees who have been
or will be released due to the restructuring. As of December 31, 1997,
substantially all of the 240 positions planned had been eliminated in
connection with the restructuring. The Company has satisfied $19.9 million of
the originally anticipated cash outlays for this restructuring as of
September 30, 1997 of which approximately $6.0 million represented cash
expenditures and approximately $13.9 million represented cancellation of
indebtedness or claims in consideration of the issuance of equity in the
Company. The restructuring is substantially completed and remaining cash
outlays relate primarily to the restructuring of the Company's international
operations. and are immaterial
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
In September 1992, the Company and certain of its officers and directors
were named as defendants in a securities class action litigation brought in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of California that
sought unspecified damages, prejudgment and post judgment interest,
attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and costs, and equitable relief. In
July 1994, SuperMac Technology, Inc. ("SuperMac") and certain of its officers
and directors, several venture capital firms and several of the underwriters
of SuperMac's May 1992 initial public offering and its February 1993
secondary offering were named as defendants in a class action litigation
brought in the same court that sought unspecified damages, prejudgment and
post judgment interest,
-17-
<PAGE>
attorneys' fees, experts' fees and costs, and equitable relief (including the
imposition of a constructive trust on the proceeds of defendants' trading
activities).
In June 1995, the Court approved the settlement of both litigations and
entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal. Under the settlement of the
litigation brought in 1992 against the Company, the Company's insurance
carrier paid $3.7 million in cash and the Company issued a total of 128,695
shares of its Common Stock to a class action settlement fund. In the
settlement of the litigation brought in 1994 against SuperMac, the Company
paid $250,000 in cash and is to issue into a class action settlement fund a
total of 707,609 shares of its Common Stock. The number of shares to be
issued by the Company increased by 100,000 because the price of the Company's
Common Stock was below $12 per share during the 60-day period following the
initial issuance of shares. In connection with these settlements, the
financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 included a charge
to other income of $12.4 million, reflecting settlement costs not covered by
insurance as well as related legal fees, resulting in a reduction in net
income from $1.4 million to a net loss of $11.0 million or $0.78 per share
for the quarter.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had issued 836,304 shares of its
Common Stock due to the settlements and approximately 100,000 shares remained
to be issued.
BUSINESS DIVESTITURES
COLOR SERVER GROUP DIVESTITURE. In January 1996, the Company completed
the sale of its Color Server Group ("CSG") to Splash Merger Company, Inc.
(the "Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Splash Technology Holdings, Inc.
("Splash"), a corporation formed by various investment entities associated
with Summit Partners. The Company received approximately $17.2 million in
cash and 4,282 shares of Splash's 6% Series B Redeemable and Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). An additional $4.7 million
was placed in escrow to secure certain post-closing and indemnification
obligations. In April 1996, approximately $2.3 million was released from this
escrow to the Company and the Company also received approximately $1.5
million as a result of post-closing adjustments. The shares of Series B
Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Splash Common Stock in
connection with the initial public offering of Splash. Such stock has been
pledged to IBM Credit in order to secure the Company's obligations to IBM
Credit under the restructured loan agreement with IBM Credit. In connection
with the restructuring of the terms of its loan agreement with IBM Credit,
the Company granted IBM Credit an option to purchase 428 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock at a nominal amount (174,113 shares of Splash Common Stock
after conversion). The Company has certain indemnification obligations in
connection with the patent lawsuit brought by Electronics for Imaging, Inc.
(See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements). The net proceeds of the
CSG transaction were paid to Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"), in order to repay
the Company's indebtedness to SVB, and to IBM Credit, in order to reduce the
Company's outstanding indebtedness to IBM Credit.
PORTRAIT DISPLAY LABS. In January 1996, the Company entered into a
series of agreements with Portrait Display Labs, Inc. ("PDL"). The agreements
assigned the Company's pivoting technology to PDL and canceled PDL's on-going
royalty obligation to the Company under an existing license agreement in
exchange for a one-time cash payment. The Company did not receive any
material amount of payments under such license agreement. PDL also granted
the Company a limited license back to the pivoting technology. Under these
agreements, PDL also settled its outstanding receivable to the Company by
paying the Company $500,000 in cash and issuing to the Company 214,286 shares
of PDL's Common Stock. The cash proceeds were paid to IBM Credit. See Note
10 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
UMAX DATA SYSTEMS, INC. In February 1996, the Company sold its MacOS
compatible systems business to UMAX Computer Corporation ("UCC"), a company
formed by UMAX Data Systems, Inc. ("UMAX"). The Company received
approximately $2.3 million in cash and debt relief, and 1,492,500 shares of
UCC's Common Stock, representing approximately 19.9% of UCC's then
outstanding shares of UCC Common Stock. The cash proceeds were paid to IBM
Credit and the shares of UCC Common Stock were pledged to IBM Credit. See
Note 10 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES ELECTROHOME INC. In December 1995, the Company
completed the sale of its monochrome display monitor business to Display
Technologies Electrohome Inc. ("DTE"). DTE purchased Radius' monochrome
display monitor business and certain assets related thereto, for
approximately $200,000 in cash and cancellation of $2.5 million of the
Company's indebtedness to DTE. In addition, DTE and Radius canceled
outstanding contracts relating to DTE's manufacture and sale of monochrome
display monitors to Radius.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $2.2
million during fiscal 1997 to approximately $0.8 million at September 30,
1997, as compared with the fiscal 1996 ending balance of cash and cash
equivalents of $3.0 million. Approximately $0.1 million of the $0.8 million
of cash and cash equivalents available at September 30, 1997 was restricted
under
-18-
<PAGE>
a letter of credit. The decrease in the Company's cash and cash equivalents
during fiscal 1997 was primarily attributable to funding of operating losses
of the Company.
On August 25, 1997 and August 29, 1997, the Company sold an aggregate
of 875,000 and 121,875 shares, respectively, of the 1,741,127 shares of
Splash Common Stock owned by the Company. These shares were sold pursuant to
an underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of Common
Stock of Splash by Splash and certain other stockholders of Splash. The
shares of Splash Common Stock were sold to the underwriters at a price of
$30.875 per share (including underwriting discount) for aggregate net
proceeds to the Company of $30.8 million. The Company used $21.9 million of
such proceeds to repay all outstanding indebtedness of the Company under its
term loan agreement with IBM Credit Corp. ("IBM Credit"), used $3.3 million
of such proceeds to redeem all of the Company's outstanding Series A
Preferred Stock (all of which shares were held by IBM Credit) and used $5.5
million of such proceeds towards repayment of principal outstanding of $6.8
million on the working capital line of credit with IBM Credit. After the
completion of the sale of these shares of Splash Common Stock, the Company
continued to own 570,139 shares of Splash Common Stock (net of the option to
buy 174,113 shares held by IBM Credit and which is exercisable at a nominal
price).
During December 1997 the Company sold 40,000 shares of Splash Common
Stock at an average price of $29.11 for a total of $1,164,340. The Company
continues to own 530,139 shares of Splash Common Stock, net of the IBM Credit
option, which are "restricted securities" under Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act and are available for sale currently, subject to certain
volume, manner of sale, notice and availability of public information
requirements of such rule.
The Company also holds securities in Portrait Display Labs and UMAX
Computer Corporation ("UMAX"), which have been pledged to IBM Credit. Because
PDL and UMAX are private companies, there is no market for such securities
and there can be no assurance that one will develop in the future. Because
of PDL's most recent round of funding by third parties, the Company does not
expect to ever receive significant sums for its PDL holdings.
The Company's principal source(s) of liquidity currently are cash
generated by operations, if any; an up to $6.5 million amended working
capital line of credit provided by IBM Credit pursuant to the terms of the
restructured loan with IBM Credit; and cash generated from the sale of Splash
Common Stock net of repayments on the working capital line of credit. Under
the terms of the amended working capital line of credit, the amount available
to borrow will be decreased to $5.5 million on January 9, 1998 and will be
further reduced by mandatory pre-payments which arise from the sale of
additional shares of Splash Common Stock until the working capital line of
credit is fully repaid. The borrowing base under the amended working capital
line of credit is fifty percent of the value of the Splash Common Stock held
by the Company net of IBM Credit's option to purchase 174,113 shares. As the
borrowing base is dependent on the daily closing price of Splash Common
Stock, there can be no assurance that it will be sufficient to allow the
Company to borrow up to the full amount of the amended working capital line
of credit. The Company is also required to sell the shares of Splash Common
Stock subject to IBM Credit's option at prices agreed to with IBM Credit. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results of
Operations -- Need for Additional Financing; Loan Restrictions." See also
"Business -- Recent Developments -- Value and Liquidity of Interest in Splash
Technology Holdings, Inc."
The Company has granted to IBM Credit a security interest in
substantially all of its assets to secure the Company's various obligations
to IBM Credit. The Company has also granted to Mitsubishi Electronics a
security interest (securing an amount up to $4.4 million) in all of the
Company's technology and intellectual property rights related to and
incorporated into the Company's PressView products.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company was not in compliance with all of
the financial covenants under the amended loan agreement dated May 12, 1997
(specifically, minimum working capital and current assets to current
liabilities ratio). The Company obtained a waiver from IBM Credit of this
noncompliance. The loan agreement was further amended in November 1997 and as
of December 31, 1997, the Company expects not to be in compliance with the
financial covenants of the new amended loan agreement. There can be no
assurance that IBM Credit will grant a waiver in the event the Company is not
in compliance with the amended financial covenants. See Note 2 to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
As a result of IBM's control over the Company's cash flow and
restrictions on the use of the Company's excess cash flow, the Company
anticipates that it will not have significant cash available for expenditures
other than for its ordinary course of business operating expenses, which will
be significantly lower than historical amounts. In the event the Company
were unable to generate sufficient net sales or if the Company incurs
unforeseen operating expenses, it may not be able to meet its operating
expenses without additional financing or a restructuring of its loan
agreements with IBM Credit. In the event that the Company desires to acquire
any strategic technologies or businesses, it would probably be unable to do
so without obtaining additional financing or the consent of IBM Credit. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
-19-
<PAGE>
Operations -- Certain Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results of
Operations -- Need for Additional Financing; Loan Restrictions."
Capital expenditures were approximately $0.1 million during fiscal 1997,
$0.2 million in fiscal 1996 and $1.9 million in fiscal 1995 and were
primarily for leasehold improvements and upgrading the Company's management
information systems. The Company has no present plans for any significant
amount of capital expenditures in the future. See Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation -- Certain
Factors That May Affect the Company's Future Results of Operations -- Impact
Year 2000.
At September 30, 1997, the Company's principal commitments consisted of
obligations under its restructured loan agreement with IBM Credit and its
obligations under building and capital leases. See Notes 2 and 3 to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is also a party to various
litigation proceedings, the costs of defending which or the outcome of which
could adversely affect the Company's liquidity. See "Business -- Legal
Proceedings."
A significant portion of the Company's net worth and liquidity is
represented by the Company's remaining holdings in Splash. As of December
31, 1997, the Company owned 530,139 shares of Splash Common Stock, net of IBM
Credit's option to purchase 174,113 shares at a nominal price. As of that
date the closing price for Splash Common Stock was $22.50 per share.
Although the Company may trade its shares in the open market pursuant to Rule
144 or privately, the market price of Splash Common Stock has been volatile
with relatively limited volume since Splash's secondary public offering in
August 1997. There are other shareholders in Splash with large blocks of
restricted common stock who may try to sell their shares at the same time as
the Company. If too many shares are offered for sale at the same time, the
price may be depressed. The Company's business plan for fiscal 1998 assumes
that the proceeds from the sale of Splash Common Stock held by the Company
will be sufficient to repay the balance of the IBM Credit facility and to
provide sufficient working capital to the Company during fiscal 1998, but
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively time
its sales or that the market value of Splash Common Stock will be adequate to
achieve such goals. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A number of uncertainties exist that could affect the Company's future
operating results, including, without limitation, the following:
CONTINUING OPERATING LOSSES
The Company experienced operating losses in each of its prior five
fiscal years. In the future, the Company's ability to achieve and
subsequently sustain profitable operations will depend upon a number of
factors, including the Company's ability to control costs; the Company's
ability to service its outstanding indebtedness to IBM Credit; the Company's
ability to realize appreciation in minority ownership interests in Splash and
other investments; the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash from
operations or obtain additional funds to fund its operating expenses; the
Company's ability to successfully market its software products; the Company's
ability to develop innovative and cost-competitive new products and to bring
those products to market in a timely manner; the commercial acceptance of
Apple computers and the MacOS and the rate and mix of Apple computers and
related products sold; the Company's ability to successfully develop and
market products for the Microsoft Windows and NT operating systems in a
timely manner; competitive factors such as new product introductions, product
enhancements and aggressive marketing and pricing practices; general economic
conditions; the Company's ability to successfully negotiate a lease renewal
for its main offices facility, negotiate a license for Apple's Quick Time
Version 3.0 and greater, and negotiate a settlement or other favorable
conclusion of the EFI litigation; and other factors. For these and other
reasons, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve
or subsequently maintain profitability in the near term, if at all.
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
The Company has experienced substantial fluctuations in operating
results. The Company's customers generally order on an as-needed basis, and
the Company has historically operated with relatively small backlogs.
Quarterly sales and operating results depend heavily on the volume and timing
of bookings received during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. A
substantial portion of the Company's revenues are derived from sales made
late in each quarter, which increases the difficulty in forecasting sales
accurately. Since the end of the Company's 1995 fiscal year, shortages of
available cash have restricted the Company's ability to purchase inventory
and have delayed the Company's receipt of products from suppliers and
increased shipping and other costs. Furthermore, because of its financial
condition, the Company believes that many suppliers are hesitant
-20-
<PAGE>
to continue their relationships with or extend credit terms to the Company
and potential new suppliers are reluctant to provide goods to the Company.
The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of product, and allowances are
recorded for estimated uncollectable amounts, returns, credits and similar
costs, including product warranties and price protection. Due to the
inherent uncertainty of such estimates, there can be no assurance that the
Company's forecasts regarding bookings, collections, rates of return, credits
and related matters will be accurate. A significant portion of the operating
expenses of the Company are relatively fixed in nature, and planned
expenditures are based primarily on sales forecasts which, as indicated
above, are uncertain. Any inability on the part of the Company to adjust
spending quickly enough to compensate for any failure to meet sales forecasts
or to receive anticipated collections, or any unexpected increase in product
returns or other costs, could also have an adverse impact on the Company's
operating results. As a strategic response to a changing competitive
environment, the Company has elected, and, in the future, may elect from time
to time, to make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions or
acquisitions that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company also
completed a variety of business divestitures during fiscal 1996 and 1997,
restructured the terms of its indebtedness to IBM Credit and issued a
substantial amount of equity in the Company to its creditors in satisfaction
of approximately $45.9 million in claims and indebtedness during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996. In addition, the Company has begun to focus its
efforts on developing and marketing software products, an area in which it
has limited experience. As a result, the Company believes that
period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations will not
necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of
future performance. Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is likely that
in some future quarter the Company's operating results will be below the
expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the
price of the Company's Common Stock would be likely to be materially
adversely affected. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
VALUE AND LIQUIDITY OF INTEREST IN SPLASH TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.
A significant portion of the Company's net worth and liquidity resides
in the Company's remaining holdings in Splash. Although the Company may
trade its shares pursuant to Rule 144 or privately, the market price of
Splash Common Stock has been volatile with relatively limited volume since
Splash's secondary public offering in August 1997. There are other
shareholders in Splash with large blocks of restricted common stock who may
try to sell their shares when the Company is in the market. If too many
shares are offered for sale at the same time, the price may be depressed.
Ideally, proceeds from the sale of Splash Common Stock held by the Company
will be sufficient to repay the balance of the IBM Credit facility and to
provide sufficient working capital to the Company during fiscal 1998, but
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively time
its sales or that the market value of Splash Common Stock will be adequate to
achieve such goals.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING; LOAN RESTRICTIONS
The Company intends to finance its working capital needs through cash
generated by operations, sales of liquid assets and borrowings under a
restructured working line of credit with IBM Credit. Because the Company has
experienced operating losses in each of its prior five fiscal years, the
Company must significantly reduce operating expenses and/or significantly
increase net sales in order to finance its working capital needs with cash
generated by operations. Furthermore, pursuant to the restructured loan with
IBM Credit, the Company is required to deposit its revenues in accounts
subject to control by IBM Credit. At any time, regardless of whether the
Company is in default of its obligations to IBM Credit, IBM Credit is
permitted to apply these amounts towards the repayment of the Company's
obligations to IBM Credit. This loan is also subject to mandatory prepayment
as follows: (i) upon the disposition of any assets of the Company outside of
the ordinary course of business, all net proceeds to the Company must be
applied towards the Company's obligations under the loan; (ii) upon the
closing of any financing, 10% of the proceeds must be applied towards the
Company's obligations under the loan; (iii) upon the thirtieth day following
the end of each fiscal quarter, an amount of no less than 50% of operating
cash flow for such prior fiscal quarter must be applied towards the Company's
obligations under the loan; and (iv) upon the receipt of any other amounts
other than sales of inventory or used or obsolete equipment in the ordinary
course of business, and not otherwise described in the preceding clause (i)
- -(iii), all of such amounts must be applied towards the Company's obligations
under the loan. IBM Credit's control over the Company's financial resources
as well as these prepayment provisions will place a further strain on the
ability of the Company to fund its working capital needs internally.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully fund its working capital needs internally.
Although the restructured loan provides for an amended working line of
credit of up to $6.5 million, the Company will only be able to borrow amounts
up to the "borrowing base" which is defined as fifty percent of the per-share
value multiplied by the number of shares of Splash Common Stock owned by
Radius excluding any shares subject to the option granted to IBM Credit. The
amended working capital line of credit will be reduced to $5.5 million on
January 9, 1998 and will be further reduced by fifty percent of the value of
Splash Common Stock shares sold by the Company other than the shares
representing the option
-21-
<PAGE>
held by IBM Credit. Also under the terms of the amended working capital line
of credit, the Company has the obligation to sell up to 232,151 shares of
Splash Common Stock at a price approved by IBM Credit and pay seventy-five
percent of the proceeds to IBM Credit as a "cancellation fee" of the option
that IBM holds for 174,113 shares of Splash Common Stock. Once the line of
credit has been reduced to zero, the Company does not expect that it will be
a source of working capital in the future.
The restructured loan and amended working capital line of credit also
imposes certain operating and financial restrictions on the Company and
requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants such as minimum
working capital, restricts the ability of the Company to incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens, sell assets or engage in mergers
or acquisitions, or make certain capital expenditures. The failure to comply
with these covenants would constitute a default under the loan, which is
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. In the event of such a
default, IBM Credit could elect to declare all of the funds borrowed pursuant
thereto to be due and payable together with accrued and unpaid interest
proceeding and to apply all amounts on deposit in the Company's bank
accounts, which could result in the Company becoming a debtor in a
bankruptcy. The loan restrictions could limit the ability of the Company to
effect future financings or otherwise restrict corporate activities.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company was not in compliance with all of
the financial covenants under the restructured loan agreement and amended
working capital line of credit (specifically, minimum working capital and
current assets to current liabilities ratio) however, IBM Credit has waived
such defaults. See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the event that the Splash Common Stock and the working capital line
of credit are insufficient to fund the Company's working capital needs, the
Company may need to raise additional capital through public or private
financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be not
assurance that such additional funding will be available on terms attractive
to the Company, or at all. The failure of the Company to raise capital when
needed would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition. If the additional funds are
raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of
the Company of its then-current shareholders would be reduced. Furthermore,
such equity securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to
those of the Company's Common Stock.
DEPENDENCE ON AND COMPETITION WITH APPLE
Historically, substantially all of the Company's products have been
designed for and sold to users of Apple personal computers. Although the
Company has begun to market certain products for the Windows environment, it
is expected that sales of products for Apple computers will continue to
represent substantially all of the sales of the Company for fiscal 1998.
Apple has lost significant market share over the past couple of years and is
experiencing declining sales in an absolute sense. The Company's operating
results would be adversely affected if these trends should continue or if
other developments were to adversely affect Apple's business. Furthermore,
any continued difficulty that may be experienced by Apple in the development,
manufacturing, marketing or sale of its computers, or other disruptions to,
or uncertainty in the market regarding, Apple's business, resulting from
these or other factors could result in further reduced demand for Apple
computers, which in turn could materially and adversely affect sales of the
Company's products. Recently, Apple has announced large losses, management
changes, headcount reductions, and other significant events which have led to
uncertainty in the market regarding Apple's business and products. In
addition, news reports indicating that Apple may be or may have been the
target of merger, acquisition, or takeover negotiations, have led or could
lead to uncertainty in the market regarding Apple's business and products.
Also, Apple's decision not to renew the licenses to the MacOS with the Mac
clone manufacturers further limits the market available for the Company's
Macintosh products.
As software applications for the color publishing and multimedia markets
become more available on platforms other than Macintosh, it is likely that
these other platforms will continue to gain acceptance in these markets. For
example, newer versions of the Windows operating environment support high
performance graphics and video applications similar to those offered on the
Macintosh. There is a risk that this trend will reduce the support given to
Macintosh products by third party developers and could substantially reduce
demand for Macintosh products and peripherals over the long term.
A number of the Company's products compete with products marketed by
Apple. As a competitor of the Company, Apple could in the future take steps
to hinder the Company's development of compatible products and slow sales of
the Company's products. The Company's business is based in part on supplying
products that meet the needs of high-end customers that are not fully met by
Apple's products. As Apple improves its products or bundles additional
hardware or software into its computers, it reduces the market for Radius
products that provide those capabilities. For example, the Company believes
that the on-board performance capabilities included in Macintosh Power PC
products have reduced and continue to reduce overall sales for the Company's
graphics cards. In the past, the Company has developed new products as
Apple's progress has rendered existing Company products obsolete. However,
in light of the Company's current financial condition there can be no
assurance that the
-22-
<PAGE>
Company will continue to develop new products on a timely basis or that any
such products will be successful. In order to develop products for the
Macintosh on a timely basis, the Company depends upon access to advance
information concerning new Macintosh products. A decision by Apple to cease
sharing advance product information with the Company would adversely affect
the Company's business.
New products anticipated from and introduced by Apple could cause
customers to defer or alter buying decisions due to uncertainty in the
marketplace, as well as presenting additional direct competition for the
Company. For example, the Company believes that Apple's transition during
1994 to Power PC products caused delays and uncertainties in the marketplace
and had the effect of reducing demand for the Company's products. In
addition, sales of the Company's products have been adversely affected by
Apple's revamping of its entire product line from NuBus-based to PCI
Bus-based computers. In the past, transitions in Apple's products have been
accompanied by shortages in those products and in key components for them,
leading to a slowdown in sales of those products and in the development and
sale by the Company of compatible products. In addition, it is possible that
the introduction of new Apple products with improved performance capabilities
may create uncertainties in the market concerning the need for the
performance enhancements provided by the Company's products and could reduce
demand for such products.
COMPETITION
The markets for the Company's products are highly competitive, and the
Company expects competition to intensify. Many of the Company's current and
prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, technical,
manufacturing and marketing resources than the Company. The Company believes
that its ability to compete will depend on a number of factors, including the
amount of financial resources available to the Company, its ability to repay
its indebtedness to IBM Credit, success and timing of new product
developments by the Company and its competitors, product performance, price
and quality, breadth of distribution and customer support. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with respect
to these factors. In addition, the introduction of lower priced competitive
products could result in price reductions that would adversely affect the
Company's results of operations. See "Business -- Competition."
DEPENDENCE ON LIMITED NUMBER OF MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS
The Company outsources the manufacturing and assembly of its products to
third party manufacturers. Although the Company uses a number of
manufacturer/assemblers, each of its products is manufactured and assembled
by a single manufacturer. The failure of a manufacturer to ship the
quantities of a product ordered by the Company could cause a material
disruption in the Company's sales of that product. In the past, most
recently in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company has experienced
substantial delays in its ability to fill customer orders for displays and
other products, due to the inability of certain manufacturers to meet their
volume and schedule requirements and, more recently, due to the Company's
shortages in available cash. Such shortages have caused some manufacturers
to put the Company on a cash or prepay basis and/or to require the Company to
provide security for their risk in procuring components or reserving
manufacturing time, and there is a risk that manufacturers will discontinue
their relationship with the Company. The Company currently has arranged
payment terms for certain of its major manufacturers such that certain of the
Company's major customers pay these manufacturers directly for products
ordered and shipped. In the event these customers do not pay these
manufacturers, there can be no assurance that such manufacturers will not
cease supplying the Company. In addition, as a condition to continuing its
manufacturing arrangement with the Company, the Company granted Mitsubishi
Electronics, the manufacturer of the Company's PressView products, a security
interest in all of the Company's technology and intellectual property rights
related to and incorporated into the Company's PressView products. There can
be no assurance that other manufacturers will not require special terms in
order to continue their relationship with the Company.
The Company is also dependent on sole or limited source suppliers for
certain key components used in its products, including certain cables,
digital video integrated circuits, color-calibrated monitors and other
products. Certain other components and molded plastic parts are also
purchased from sole or limited source suppliers. The Company purchases these
sole or limited source components primarily pursuant to purchase orders
placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business and has no
guaranteed supply arrangements with sole or limited source suppliers.
Therefore, these suppliers are not obligated to supply products to the
Company for any specific period, in any specific quantity or at any specific
price, except as may be provided in a particular purchase order. Although
the Company expects that these suppliers will continue to meet its
requirements for the components, there can be no assurance that they will do
so, particularly in light of the Company's financial condition. The Company's
reliance on a limited number of suppliers involves a number of risks,
including the absence of adequate capacity, the unavailability or
interruption in the supply of key components and reduced control over
delivery schedules and costs. The Company expects to continue to rely on a
limited number of suppliers for the foreseeable future. If these suppliers
became unwilling or unable to continue to provide these components the
Company would have to develop alternative sources for these components which
could result in delays or reductions in product shipments which could have a
material adverse effect on the
-23-
<PAGE>
Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Certain
suppliers, due to the Company's shortages in available cash, have put the
Company on a cash or prepay basis and/or required the Company to provide
security for their risk in procuring components or reserving manufacturing
time, and there is a risk that suppliers will discontinue their relationship
with the Company.
The introduction of new products presents additional difficulties in
obtaining timely shipments from suppliers. Additional time may be needed to
identify and qualify suppliers of the new products. Also, the Company has
experienced delays in achieving volume production of new products due to the
time required for suppliers to build their manufacturing capacity. An
extended interruption in the supply of any of the components for the
Company's products, regardless of the cause, could have an adverse impact on
the Company's results of operations.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; CONTINUING NEED TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS
The personal computer industry in general, and color publishing and
video applications within the industry, are characterized by rapidly changing
technology, often resulting in short product life cycles and rapid price
declines. The Company believes that its success will be highly dependent on
its ability to develop innovative and cost-competitive new products and to
bring them to the marketplace in a timely manner. Should the Company fail to
introduce new products on a timely basis, the Company's operating results
could be adversely affected. Technological innovation is particularly
important for the Company, since its business is based on its ability to
provide functionality and features not included in Apple's products. As
Apple introduces new products with increased functionality and features, the
Company's business will be adversely affected unless it develops new products
that provide advantages over Apple's latest offerings. As a result of the
Company's financial condition, it has had to significantly reduce its
research and development expenditures. For the 1997 fiscal year, the Company
spent approximately $5.0 million on research and development as compared with
approximately $7.5 million for the 1996 fiscal year and $19.3 for the 1995
fiscal year. Furthermore, as described in "-- Need for Additional Financing;
Loan Restrictions," the terms of the restructured loan with IBM Credit will
restrict the Company's ability to fund its working capital needs and, as a
result, the ability of the Company to maintain historical levels of research
and development expenditures. Continued reduction in the available cash
resources of the Company could result in the interruption or cancellation of
research and product development efforts which would have a material adverse
effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of the
Company.
The Company anticipates that the video editing industry will follow the
pattern of the professional publishing industry in which desktop publishing
products, including those produced by Radius, replaced more expensive,
proprietary products, and the Company also anticipates that this evolution
will lead to an increase in the purchase and use of video editing products,
in particular digital video editing products for use with digital video
camcorders. As a result, the Company has devoted significant resources to
this product line. There can be no assurance that this evolution will occur
in the digital video editing industry as expected by the Company, or that
even if it does occur that it will not occur at a slower pace than
anticipated. There can also be no assurance that any digital video editing
products developed by the Company will achieve consumer acceptance or broad
commercial success. In the event that the increased use of such video
editing products does not occur or in the event that the Company is unable to
successfully develop and market such products, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely
affected, particularly in light of the fact that the Company anticipates that
it will begin to de-emphasize many of its traditional hardware products in
the future.
DEPENDENCE ON INDIRECT DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
The Company's primary means of distribution is through a limited number
of third-party distributors and master resellers that are not under the
direct control of the Company. Furthermore, the Company relies on one
exclusive or primary distributor for its sales in each of Japan and Europe.
The Company does not maintain a direct sales force. As a result, the
Company's business and financial results are highly dependent on the amount
of the Company's products that is ordered by these distributors and
resellers. Such orders are in turn dependent upon the continued viability
and financial condition of these distributors and resellers as well as on
their ability to resell such products and maintain appropriate inventory
levels. Furthermore, many of these distributors and resellers generally
carry the product lines of a number of companies, are not subject to minimum
order requirements and can discontinue marketing the Company's products at
any time. Accordingly, the Company must compete for the focus and sales
efforts of these third parties. Because certain of the Company's major
suppliers have arrangements with the Company pursuant to which certain of the
Company's major customers are responsible for payment of goods sent to the
Company, the Company is dependent on certain resellers to make payments to
its suppliers. In addition, due in part to the historical volatility of the
personal computer industry, certain of the Company's resellers have from time
to time experienced declining profit margins, cash flow shortages and other
financial difficulties. The future growth and success of the Company will
continue to depend in
-24-
<PAGE>
large part upon its indirect distribution channels, including its reseller
channels. If its resellers or other distributors were to experience
financial difficulties, the Company's results of operations could be
adversely affected.
INTERNATIONAL SALES
Prior to the second fiscal quarter of 1996, the Company's international
sales were primarily made through distributors and the Company's subsidiary
in Japan. Effective April 1, and July 1, 1996 the Company appointed an
exclusive distributor for Japan and Europe, respectively. The Company
expects that international sales, particularly sales to Japan, will represent
a significant portion of its business activity and that it will be subject to
the normal risks of international sales such as currency fluctuations, longer
payment cycles, export controls and other governmental regulations and, in
some countries, a lesser degree of intellectual property protection as
compared to that provided under the laws of the United States. Furthermore,
a reduction in sales efforts or financial viability of the distributors could
adversely affect the Company's net sales and its ability to provide service
and support to Japanese and European customers. Additionally, fluctuations
in exchange rates could affect demand for the Company's products. If for any
reason exchange or price controls or other restrictions on foreign currencies
are imposed, the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected. Net sales could also be
adversely affected in the future as a result of the exclusive distributor
relationships for Japan and Europe because the Company will only recognize as
net sales a portion of the sales price of any product sold through such
distributor arrangements. Accordingly, even if sales for such regions
increase or remain similar to historic levels, the Company would recognize a
lesser amount of net sales for such regions as compared to historic levels.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the exclusivity clause in the
agreement with the Japanese distributor was terminated. No other distribution
relationship for Japan has been entered into by the Company.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's success depends to a significant degree upon the continued
contributions of its key management, marketing, product development and
operational personnel and the Company's ability to retain and continue to
attract highly skilled personnel. The Company does not carry any key person
life insurance with respect to any of its personnel. Competition for
employees in the computer industry is intense, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to attract and retain qualified employees.
Many members of the Company's management have departed within the past year,
including its former President and Chief Executive Officer and three other
Vice Presidents, and the Company has also had substantial layoffs and other
employee departures. Because of the Company's financial difficulties and the
very tight labor market for technical personnel, it has become increasingly
difficult for it to hire new employees and retain key management and current
employees. The failure of the Company to attract and retain key personnel
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition.
DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and
trade secret protection, nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements
to establish and protect its proprietary rights. The Company has a number of
patents and patent applications and intends to file additional patent
applications as it considers appropriate. There can be no assurance that
patents will issue from any of these pending applications or, if patents do
issue, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect the
Company's technology. In addition, there can be no assurance that any
patents that may be issued to the Company will not be challenged, invalidated
or circumvented, or that any rights granted thereunder would provide
proprietary protection to the Company. The Company has a number of
trademarks and trademark applications. There can be no assurance that
litigation with respect to trademarks will not result from the Company's use
of registered or common law marks, or that, if litigation against the Company
were successful, any resulting loss of the right to use a trademark would not
reduce sales of the Company's products in addition to the possibility of a
significant damages award. Although, the Company intends to defend its
proprietary rights, policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology or
products is difficult, and there can be no assurance that the Company's
efforts will be successful. The laws of certain foreign countries may not
protect the proprietary rights of the Company to the same extent as do the
laws of the United States.
The Company has received, and may receive in the future, communications
asserting that its products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties,
and the Company is engaged and has been engaged in litgiation alleging that
the Company's products infringe others' patent rights. As a result of such
claims or litigation, it may become necessary or desirable in the future for
the Company to obtain licenses relating to one or more of its products or
relating to current or future technologies, and there
-25-
<PAGE>
can be no assurance that it would be able to do so on commercially reasonable
terms. See "Business -- Patents and Licenses" and "Litigation."
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could
result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
The Company has been studying this issue but has not yet completed the
process. As a result, the Company has no reasonable basis to conclude that
the Year 2000 Issue will not materially affect future financial results, or
cause reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating
results or future financial condition.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Company's Common Stock.
The Company estimates that approximately 10 million shares of common stock
issued to unsecured creditors under the Plan in September 1996 have not yet
been sold and are eligible for sale under Rule 144. The tradability of such
shares of Common Stock could materially and adversely affect the market price
of the Common Stock. See "-- Volatility of Stock Price."
As of September 30, 1997, there were 6,683,471 shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options by employees and
consultants. As of such date there were an additional 932,550 shares of
Common Stock available for issuance under options to be granted to employees
and consultants and 158,998 shares reserved for issuances for purchases under
the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Additionally, 152,500 shares of
Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the Company's stock option
plans for non-employee directors, 47,500 of which were subject to outstanding
options. The Company has amended its 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995
Plan") to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder by
2,700,000 shares, subject to shareholder approval at its Annual Meeting of
Shareholders in February 1998. The Company may also seek to obtain Board
and/or shareholder approval for grants of options in excess of the amounts
described above. All of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
exercise of options granted or to be granted or upon stock purchases will be
available for sale in the public market. Such availability will further
increase the number of freely tradeable shares of Common Stock outstanding
which could exert downward pressure on the trading price of the Common Stock.
POSSIBLE DELISTING OF COMMON STOCK FROM NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET
The Company's Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
pursuant to an agreement with the NASD which requires that the Company comply
with the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
Failure to meet the continued listing requirements in the future would
subject the Common Stock to delisting. Companies traded on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market will be required commencing in March 1998, for example, to
maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Because the Company's
Common Stock has not traded over $1.00 per share since November 1996, the
Common Stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. As a
result, the Board of Directors has proposed, subject to shareholder approval
at the February 1998 annual meeting of shareholders, a significant reverse
stock split if the trading price of the Company's Common Stock remains below
$1.00 per share, but there can be no assurance that such a proposal will be
timely approved by the shareholders, or if approved, that the stock price
will perform as hoped. If the Company's Common Stock is delisted, there can
be no assurance that the Company will meet the requirements for initial
inclusion on Nasdaq in the future, particularly in light of the fact that
Nasdaq requires traded securities to have a $4.00 minimum per share bid
requirement. Moreover, the NASD is considering the elimination of the
SmallCap Market altogether. Trading, if any, in the listed securities after
delisting or the elimination of the SmallCap Market would be conducted in the
over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink
sheets." As a result, investors may find it more difficult to dispose of, or
to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of, the Company's securities.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
RADIUS INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Radius Inc.
as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, convertible preferred stock and shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1997.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index
at Item 14 (a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Radius
Inc. at September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE ONE. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Radius Inc. ("Radius" or the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries after elimination of significant intercompany transactions
and balances.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the level of
allowance for potentially uncollectible receivables and sales returns;
inventory reserves for obsolete, slow-moving, or non-salable inventory;
and estimated cost for installation, warranty and other customer
support obligations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
MANAGEMENT'S BUSINESS RECOVERY PLANS
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
the Company has incurred recurring operating losses. In addition, as
of September 30, 1997, the Company was not in compliance with all of
the financial covenants under its credit agreement dated May 12, 1997
with IBM Credit. See Note 2.
The Company's relatively limited cash resources have restricted
the Company's ability to purchase inventory which in turn has limited
its ability to procure and sell products and has resulted in additional
costs for expedited deliveries. The adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations due to its limited cash resources can be expected
to continue until such time as the Company is able to return to
profitability, or generate additional cash from other sources.
During fiscal 1996 and 1997, management implemented a number of
actions to address its cash flow and operating issues, including:
restructuring its outstanding indebtedness to trade creditors and its
secured creditor; refocusing its efforts on providing solutions for
high end digital video and graphics customers; discontinuing sales of
mass market and other low value added products; divesting a number of
businesses and product lines; significantly reducing expenses and
personnel headcount; and subleasing a significant portion of its
current facility lease given its reduced occupancy requirements.
During fiscal 1998, additional funds may be needed to finance
ongoing operations and to implement the Company's development plans and
for other purposes. The Company plans to generate cash from operations
and by divesting certain liquid assets and is investigating possible
financing and strategic partnering opportunities. Regarding the
Company's Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. ("Splash") securities (the
"Splash Common Stock"), after the completion of the sale of 996,875
shares during fiscal 1997 and 40,000 shares in December 1997, the
Company continues to own 530,139 shares of Splash Common Stock (net of
the option to buy 174,113 shares held by IBM Credit exercisable at a
nominal price). These securities are "restricted securities" under
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and are currently
available for sale, subject to certain volume, manner of sale notice
and availability of public information requirements of such rule. The
closing price of Splash Common Stock at fiscal year end 1997 was $38.75
per share resulting in unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities
of approximately $22.1 million. As of December 31, 1997, the per share
price of Splash Common Stock was $22.50 resulting in an aggregate value
of the Company's investment of approximately $11.9 million. There can
be no assurance the Company will be able to realize this value in the
Splash Common Stock or that such financing or strategic partnering
opportunities will materialize. There can also be no assurance that
additional financing will be available when needed or, if available,
that the terms of such financing will not adversely affect the
Company's results of operations. See Note 2.
FISCAL YEAR
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to
September 30 and includes 52 weeks in all fiscal years presented.
During fiscal 1995, the Company changed its fiscal year end from the
Sunday closest to September
-40-
<PAGE>
30 to the Saturday closest to September 30 for operational efficiency
purposes. For consistency of presentation, all fiscal periods in this Form
10-K are reported as ending on a calendar month end.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its foreign
subsidiaries into dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end
of the period and translates revenues and expenses using rates in
effect during the period. Gains and losses from these balance sheet
translations are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses, which are
included in the results of operations, are not material.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using standard costs that approximate cost on a first-in,
first-out basis. The Company reviews the levels of its inventory in
light of current and forecasted demand to identify and provide reserves
for obsolete, slow-moving, or non-salable inventory. Inventories
consist of the following (in thousands):

CARRYING VALUE OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE
DISPOSED OF
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets
when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by
those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Based
on the Company's estimate of future undiscounted cash flows, the
Company expects to recover the carrying amounts of its long-lived
assets. Nonetheless, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of
undiscounted cash flows may change in the near term resulting in the
need to write-down those assets to fair value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. Sales to certain
resellers are subject to agreements allowing certain rights of return
and price protection on unsold merchandise held by these resellers.
The Company provides for
-41-
<PAGE>
estimated returns at the time of shipment and for price protection following
price declines. Revenue earned under royalty or commission agreements is
recognized in the period in which it is earned.
WARRANTY EXPENSE
The Company provides at the time of sale for the estimated cost to
repair or replace products under warranty. The warranty period
commences on the end user date of purchase and is normally one year for
displays and digital video products and for the life of the product for
graphics cards.
ADVERTISING EXPENSES
The Company expenses advertising expenses as incurred.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding.
Assuming the conversion of accounts payable and other creditor debt
into common stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 had occurred at
the beginning of fiscal 1996, the supplemental loss per share for
fiscal 1996 would have been $0.02 per share.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128), which is required to
be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per
share and to restate all prior periods. The application of the FAS 128
new "basic earnings per share" calculation results in basic earnings
(loss) per share that is not materially different from net income
(loss) per common share as reported as of September 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995. The Company does not expect the new diluted calculation to be
materially different from fully diluted earnings per share.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity from date of purchase of three months or less to be cash
equivalents; investments with maturities between three and twelve
months are considered to be short-term investments. Cash equivalents
are carried at cost which approximates market. There were no short-
term investments as of September 30, 1997 or 1996. Approximately $0.1
million of the $0.8 million of cash at September 30, 1997 was
restricted under various letters of credit.
OFF BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company sells its products to direct computer resellers in the
United States and to distributors in various foreign countries. The
Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and
generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves
for potential credit losses.
RELATED PARTIES
IBM Credit was a related party through August 1997 as a result of
its ownership interests in the Company. See Notes 2, 10 and 11. Also,
during the calendar year 1995, IBM Credit's parent corporation,
International Business Machines Corporation, manufactured systems
products (specifically Mac clones) for the Company for which it was
paid approximately $20 million through the IBM credit facility.
SCI Technology, Inc. ("SCI") and Mitsubishi Electronics America,
Inc. ("Mitsubishi") were related parties due to board membership and/or
stock ownership with respect to the Company. As of December 24, 1997,
SCI and Mitsubishi no longer own significant interests in the Company,
nor participate through board membership. SCI and Mitsubishi are
suppliers to the Company. During fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 purchases
from SCI were approximately $10.0 million, $25.2 million and $10.0,
respectively, and purchases from Mitsubishi were approximately $13.1
million, $14.1 million and $30.0 million, respectively. As of
September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had
-42-
<PAGE>
accounts payable amounting to approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million
to SCI, respectively, and approximately $0.5 million and $1.5 million to
Mitsubishi, respectively.
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The carrying values and fair values of various financial
instruments are summarized as follows as of September 30, 1997 (in

Short-term borrowings (4,638) (4,638)
The fair value of short-term borrowings are estimated to
approximate their carrying value as the borrowings are subject to
variable interest rates.
Estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company
using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current
market exchange.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the September 30, 1996 and 1995 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
NOTE TWO. BORROWINGS
LINE OF CREDIT ARRANGEMENT
In February 1995, the Company and IBM Credit Corp. ("IBM Credit")
entered into a $30.0 million Inventory and Working Capital Financing
Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement permitted advances
for inventory and working capital up to the lesser of $30.0 million or
85% of eligible receivables ("Inventory and Working Capital Advances").
In September 1995, IBM Credit advanced an additional $20.0 million
under the Loan Agreement to finance the manufacturing of the Company's
MacOS compatible products (the "MacOS Advances").
Immediately prior to the consummation of the restructuring of its
unsecured and secured debt in September 1996 (the "Plan"), amounts
outstanding to IBM Credit were approximately $26.4 million (See Note 11).
In connection with the Plan, IBM Credit received 750,000 shares of
the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock in consideration of the
cancellation of $3.0 million of indebtedness to IBM Credit and for an
additional advance of approximately $470,000. In addition, IBM Credit
restructured the terms of the remaining approximately $23.4 million
indebtedness into a working line of credit and a term loan. The term
loan was repaid and the Convertible Preferred Stock was redeemed in
August 1997 with the proceeds from the sale of Splash Common Stock.
The agreement with IBM Credit was amended on November 10, 1997 to
increase the working capital line of credit from $5.0 million to $6.5
million. Under the terms of the amended working capital line of credit,
the maximum amount available for borrowing will decrease to $5.5 million
on January 9, 1998 and will be further reduced by mandatory pre-
payments which arise from the sale of additional shares of Splash Common
Stock until the working capital line of credit is fully repaid. The
borrowing base under the amended working capital line of credit is fifty
percent of the value of the Splash Common Stock held by the Company net
of IBM Credit's option to purchase 174,113 shares at a nominal price.
Amounts outstanding under the amended working line of credit bear
interest at the prime rate plus 1.75% (10.25% as of September 30, 1997).
The restructured loan with IBM Credit is subject to mandatory
prepayment as follows: (i) upon the disposition of any assets of the
Company outside of the ordinary course of business, all net proceeds to
the Company
-43-
<PAGE>
must be applied towards the Company's obligations under the
loan; (ii) upon the closing of any financing, 10% of the proceeds must
be applied towards the Company's obligations under the loan; (iii) upon
the thirtieth day following the end of each fiscal quarter, an amount
of no less than 50% of operating cash flow for such prior fiscal
quarter must be applied towards the Company's obligations under the
loan; and (iv) upon the receipt of any other amounts from other than
sales of inventory or used or obsolete equipment in the ordinary course
of business, and not otherwise described in the preceding clauses (i) -
(iii), all of such amounts must be applied towards the Company's
obligations under the loan. In addition, the Company is required to
deposit its revenues in accounts controlled by IBM Credit. At any
time, regardless of whether the Company is in default of its
obligations to IBM Credit, IBM Credit is permitted to apply these
amounts towards the repayment of the Company's obligations to IBM
Credit. As a result of IBM Credit's control over the Company's cash
flow, and these prepayment and redemption provisions, together with the
other terms and covenants of the restructured loan agreement, the
Company's ability to generate working capital or to undertake a variety
of other merger, disposition or financing activities is substantially
restricted.
As of September 30, 1997, approximately $4.6 million in working
capital line of credit was outstanding under the Loan Agreement and is
included as short-term borrowings in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
On August 25, 1997 and August 29, 1997, the Company sold an
aggregate of 875,000 and 121,875 shares, respectively, of the
1,741,127 shares of Splash Common Stock owned by the Company. These
shares were sold pursuant to an underwritten public offering of an
aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of Common Stock of Splash by Splash and
certain other stockholders of Splash. The shares of Splash Common Stock
were sold to the underwriters at a price of $30.875 per share (net of
underwriting discount) for aggregate net proceeds to the Company of
$30.8 million. The Company used such proceeds as follows: (i) $21.9
million to repay all outstanding indebtedness of the Company under its
term loan agreement with IBM Credit; (ii) $3.3 million to redeem all of
the Company's outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (all of
which shares were held by IBM Credit) and pay accrued dividends; and
(iii) $5.5 million towards the repayment of principal outstanding of
$6.8 million on the working capital line of credit with IBM Credit.
After the completion of these transactions, the Company continued to
own 570,139 shares of Splash Common Stock (net of the option to buy
174,113 shares held by IBM Credit exercisable at a nominal price. See
Note 10).
During December 1997 the Company sold 40,000 shares of Splash
Common Stock at an average price of $29.11 for a total of $1,164,340.
The Company continues to own 704,252 shares of Splash Common Stock
which are "restricted securities" under Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act and are available for sale currently, subject to certain
volume, manner of sale, notice and availability of public information
requirements of such rule. IBM Credit retains an option to 174,113 of
these shares.
The Company has granted to IBM Credit a security interest in
substantially all of its assets to secure the Company's various
obligations to IBM Credit. The Company has also granted to Mitsubishi
Electronics a security interest (securing an amount up to $4.4 million)
in all of the Company's technology and intellectual property rights
related to and incorporated into the Company's PressView products.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company was not in compliance with
all of the financial covenants under the amended loan agreement dated
May 12, 1997 (specifically, current assets to current liabilities ratio
and minimum working capital); however, IBM Credit has waived such
defaults. The loan agreement was further amended in November 1997 and
as of December 31, 1997, the Company expects not to be in compliance
with the financial covenants of the new amended loan agreement.
In addition, the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement on
March 20, 1995 with Silicon Valley Bank. The agreement, which expired
on March 19, 1996, allowed the Company to issue letters of credit as a
sub-facility under a $5.0 million foreign accounts receivable revolving
line of credit subject to an interest rate of up to the prime rate plus
1.25%. The amounts outstanding under this agreement were repaid in
January 1996. The weighted average interest rates in fiscal 1996 and
1995 were 9.9% and 13.0%, respectively.
One of the Company's subsidiaries had a revolving line of credit
with a bank in Japan, the outstanding balance having been paid in full
during the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The weighted average interest
rates in fiscal 1996 and 1995 were 2.1% and 4.9%, respectively.

September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The rent expense
amounts for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 exclude a provision for
remaining lease obligations on excess facilities.
Sublease income for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately
$1.3 million, $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
CONTINGENCIES
(a) On November 16, 1995, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. ("EFI")
filed a suit in the United States District Court in the Northern
District of California alleging that the Company infringes a patent
allegedly owned by EFI. Although the complaint does not specify which
of the Company's products allegedly infringe the patent, subsequent
pleading indicates that EFI alleges that the Company's Color Server
products allegedly infringe. In January 1996, the Company completed
the divestiture of the Color Server Group.
The Company has filed an answer denying all material allegations,
and has filed counterclaims against EFI alleging causes of action for
interference with prospective economic benefit, antitrust violations,
and unfair business practices. EFI's motion to dismiss or sever the
Company's amended counterclaims was granted in part and the ruling
permitted the Company to file an amended counterclaim for antitrust
violations. The Company has filed an amended antitrust claim. The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses to EFI's claims and is
defending them vigorously. In addition, the Company believes it has
indemnification rights with respect to EFI's claims. A motion for
summary judgment based on these indemnification rights disposing of
EFI's claims was filed, and the court granted this motion finding the
Company immune from suit under the patent after February 22, 1995. The
Company expects to vigorously defend the remaining claims of EFI and to
vigorously prosecute the claims it has asserted against EFI. In the
opinion of management, based on the facts known at this time, although
the eventual outcome of this case is unlikely to have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of
the Company, the costs of defense, regardless of outcome, may have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
position of the Company. In addition, in connection with the
divestiture of its Color Server business, the Company has certain
-45-
<PAGE>
indemnification obligations for which approximately $2.0 million
remains held in escrow at September 30, 1997 to secure such obligations
in the event that the purchaser suffers any losses resulting from this
litigation.
(b) The Company was named as one of approximately 42 defendants
in Shapiro et al. v. ADI Systems, Inc. et al., Superior Court of
California, Santa Clara County, case no. CV751685, filed August 14,
1995. Radius was named as one of approximately 32 defendants in Maizes
& Maizes et al. v. Apple Computer et al., Superior Court of New Jersey,
Essex County, case no. L-13780-95, filed December 15, 1995. Plaintiffs
in each case purport to represent alleged classes of similarly situated
persons and/or the general public, and allege that the defendants
falsely advertised that the viewing areas of their computer monitors
are larger than in fact they are. The Company was served with the
Shapiro complaint on August 22, 1995 and was served with the Maizes
complaint on January 5, 1996. Defendants' petition to the California
State Judicial Council to coordinate the Shapiro case with similar
cases brought in other California jurisdictions was granted in part and
the coordinated proceedings are being held in Superior Court of
California, San Francisco County. An amended consolidated complaint
was filed on March 26, 1996.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the
plaintiffs' claims, due to the costs of defense, on March 11, 1997, the
Company along with all but two of the other named defendants agreed to
settle the suits, subject to final court approval, which the court
tentatively approved on June 30, 1997. The settlement provides that
class members are eligible for a $13 rebate per monitor purchased
during the class period on applicable new purchases over a three year
period, subject to specific limitations. Class members who are
consumers and do not elect to use the rebate fully can thereafter elect
to receive a $6 refund per monitor (up to a maximum of $30 per consumer
class member) during the following six months. The Company is
responsible only to class members who purchased Radius branded monitors
during the class period of May 1, 1991 to May 1, 1995. Additionally,
the Company will pay its share of publication and administration costs
associated with the implementation of the settlement, pay its share of
plaintiffs' stipulated attorneys' fees and will agree to abide by
certain limitations in the description of its monitors. This
settlement remains subject to final court approval.
(c) On July 18, 1997, Intelligent Electronics, Inc. and its
affiliates filed a suit in the United States District Court for the
District of Colorado alleging a breach of contract and related claims
in the approximate amount of $800,000, maintaining that the Company
failed to comply with various return, price protection, inventory
balancing and marketing development funding undertakings. In 1997, the
Company filed an answer to the complaint and cross claimed against the
plaintiffs and in October 1997 additionally cross claimed against
Deutsche Financial, Inc., a factor in the account relationship between
the Company and the plaintiffs, seeking the recovery of approximately
$2 million. The Company continues to investigate these claims as well
as cross claims and expects to vigorously defend and prosecute them as
applicable.
(d) The Company is involved in a number of other judicial and
administrative proceedings incidental to its business. The Company
intends to defend such lawsuits vigorously and although adverse
decisions (or settlements) may occur in one or more of such cases, the
final resolution of these lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate,
is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the Company. However, depending on the amount and timing
of an unfavorable resolution of these lawsuits, it is possible that the
Company's future results of operations or cash flows could be
materially adversely affected in a particular period. In addition, the
costs of defense, regardless of the outcome, could have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of
the Company.
(e) In September 1992, the Company and certain of its officers and
directors were named as defendants in a securities class action
litigation brought in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California that sought unspecified damages,
prejudgment and postjudgment interest, attorneys' fees, expert witness
fees and costs, and equitable relief. In July 1994, SuperMac and
certain of its officers and directors, several venture capital firms
and several of the underwriters of SuperMac's May 1992 initial public
offering and its February 1993 secondary offering were named as
defendants in a class action litigation brought in the same court that
sought unspecified damages, prejudgment and postjudgment interest,
attorneys' fees, experts' fees and costs, and equitable relief
(including the imposition of a constructive trust on the proceeds of
defendants' trading activities).
In June 1995, the Court approved the settlement of both
litigations and entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal. Under
the settlement of the litigation brought in 1992 against the Company,
the Company's insurance carrier paid $3.7 million in cash and the
Company is required to issue 128,695 shares of its Common Stock to a
class action settlement fund. In the settlement of the litigation
brought in 1994 against SuperMac, the Company paid $250,000 in cash and
is required to issue into a class action settlement fund 707,609 shares
of its Common Stock. The number of shares required to be issued by the
Company increased by 100,000 since the price of the Common Stock
-46-
<PAGE>
was below $12 per share during the 60-day period following the initial
issuance of shares. In connection with these settlements, the Company
recorded a charge of $12.4 million in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations in 1995 reflecting settlement costs not covered by insurance
as well as related legal fees.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had issued 836,304 of its
Common Stock due to the settlement and approximately 100,000 shares
remained to be issued.
NOTE FOUR. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
All 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were
redeemed by the Company in September 1997.
COMMON STOCK
In June 1995, the Company sold approximately 2.5 million shares of
its Common Stock in a series of private placements to a small number of
investors unaffiliated with the Company. Proceeds from the offerings,
net of commission and other related expenses were $21.4 million. The
net proceeds were used for working capital. See also Note Eleven -
Stock Issued to Creditors.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "1986
Plan"), authorized the issuance of up to 2,975,000 shares of common
stock upon the exercise of incentive stock options or nonqualified
stock options that may be granted to officers, employees, directors,
consultants and independent contractors. Under the 1986 Plan, options
are exercisable for a term of up to ten years after the date of grant.
The 1986 Plan expired in October 1996 and provided for options to be
granted at prices ranging from 50% to 100% of the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of
Directors. Vesting of shares is also determined by the Board of
Directors at the date of grant. Outstanding grants of options to
purchase 448,730 shares of Common Stock continue to be exercisable
according to the terms of the grants, and all unused shares under the
1986 Plan are reserved for issuance under the 1995 Stock Option Plan.
The Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") authorizes
the issuance of up to 4,786,283 shares of common stock upon the
exercise of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options that
may be granted to officers, employees (including directors who are also
employees), consultants and independent contractors. Shares available
for grant under the 1995 Plan include 1,219,663 shares which were not
issued under the 1986 Plan. Under the 1995 Plan, options are
exercisable for a term of up to ten years after the grant date.
Options may be granted at prices ranging from 85% to 100% of the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant, as determined by
the Board of Directors. Vesting of shares is also determined by the
Board of Directors at the date of grant. As of September 30, 1997,
3,369,130 options were outstanding under the 1995 Plan. The 1995 Plan
will expire in December 2005.
Pursuant to the 1994 merger with SuperMac Technologies, Inc.,
Radius assumed 975,239 outstanding options originally issued under the
SuperMac 1988 Stock Option Plan (the "SuperMac Plan"). These options
will be administered in accordance with the SuperMac Plan until all
options are exercised or expired. As of September 30, 1997, 15,761
options remain outstanding under the SuperMac Plan and are exercisable
for a term of up to ten years after the date of grant.
The Company has also reserved 190,000 shares of common stock for
issuance to non-employee directors pursuant to options granted under
the 1994 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"), including
90,000 shares which were not issued under the Company's 1990 Directors'
Stock Option Plan. Such options may only be nonqualified stock
options, must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant, and
must be granted in accordance with a non-discretionary formula. Under
this formula, each new director receives an option to purchase 10,000
shares when that director is first appointed to the Board and an option
to purchase 2,500 shares on each anniversary of such director's
appointment. As of September 30, 1997, 37,500 options were outstanding
under this
-47-
<PAGE>
plan at exercise prices ranging from $0.3438 to $10.875 per share. Of the
options granted under the 1994 Plan, 1,875 are exercisable at September 30,
1997.
Prior to the approval of the 1994 Plan, the 1990 Directors' Stock
Option Plan (the "Prior Plan") was in effect. As of September 30, 1997, the
Prior Plan had 10,000 options outstanding at $9.75. Such options are
nonqualified stock options, must be exercised within five years from the date
of grant, and were granted in accordance with a non-discretionary formula.
Options unissued under the Prior Plan become available for grant under the
1994 Plan.
In March 1993, the Company granted a nonqualified stock option to one
officer to purchase a total of 250,000 shares of common stock outside the
Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $7.75 per share.
This stock option was subsequently repriced to $0.4688. This option is
exercisable for a term of ten years and vests over a fifty month period
commencing on the date of grant. During fiscal 1994, 150 of these shares
were exercised by the officer, and as of September 30, 1997, the remaining
249,850 shares were exercisable.
In June 1995, the Company repriced approximately 232,000 of then
outstanding options to an exercise price of $12.00 per share, the fair market
value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the repricing.
In December 1995, the Company repriced approximately 930,000 of then
outstanding options for an exercise price of $2.375 per share, the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of repricing.
In January 1997, the Company repriced approximately 1,005,183 of then
outstanding options for an exercise price of $ 0.4688 per share, the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the repricing.
During fiscal 1997, the Company granted, outside of the Company's Stock
Option Plans, 1,000,000, 500,000, 500,000, and 275,000 nonqualified stock
options to Messers. Housley, Morgan, Petracca and Capece, respectively (all
are officers of the Company) for exercise prices of $0.4063, $0.4063,
$0.3125, and $0.2813, respectively, the fair market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the relevant dates. These options are exercisable for a term
of ten years and vest over a two year period commencing on the date of grant.

the Company's plans:

In October 1996, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation ("FAS 123"). Under FAS 123, the Company may
continue following existing accounting rules or adopt a new fair value method
of valuing stock-based awards. The Company has elected to continue to follow
APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock options plans and the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan and not adopt the alternative fair value method
of accounting provided under FAS 123. Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by FAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined
as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted
subsequent to September 30, 1995 under the fair value method of that
Statement. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted in
fiscal 1997 was $0.30. The fair value of options was estimated at the date
of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for fiscal years 1996 and 1997: risk free
interest rate of approximately 6%; a dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors
of the expected market price of the Company's Common Stock of 1.077; and a
weighted-average expected life of the option of four years.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair values of the
options are amortized to expense over the related vesting periods. The
Company's pro forma net income (loss) for 1997 and 1996 was not materially
different from reported amounts.
Since FAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to
September 30, 1995, its pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until
fiscal year 2001.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan under which
substantially all employees may purchase common stock through payroll
deductions at a price equal to 85% of its fair market value as of certain
specified dates. Stock purchases under this plan are limited to 10% of an
employee's compensation, and in no event may exceed $21,250 per year. The
Company suspended the operation of its employee stock purchase plan in fiscal
1997. At September 30, 1997, 158,998 shares remain available for issuance
under the plan.

NOTE FIVE. FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES
The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
are as follows:

FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, provides for the
recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more
likely than not. The Company's valuation allowance reduced the deferred tax
asset to the amount realizable. The Company has provided a full valuation
allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties
surrounding their realization. Due to the net losses reported in prior years
and as a result of the material changes in operations, predictability of
earnings in future periods is uncertain. The Company will evaluate the
realizability of the deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by
applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before taxes. The
sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

As of September 30, 1997, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately
$41,000,000 and $56,000,000, respectively. The federal loss carryforwards
will expire beginning in 2011, if not utilized and the state loss
carryforwards will expire beginning in 1998, if not utilized.
As a result of the issuance of Common Stock and Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in exchange for certain liabilities of the Company in
September 1996, the Company experienced a "change in ownership" as defined
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, utilization of
net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will be subject to an annual
limitation of approximately $2.0 million due to the ownership change
limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state
provisions, except under limited circumstances.

NOTE SEVEN. EXPORT SALES AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company currently operates in one principal industry segment: the
design, assembling and marketing of color publishing and digital video
computer products. The Company is highly dependent on the success of Apple
products as the Company's products are designed to provide additional
functionality to Apple products.
-51-
<PAGE>
The Company's export sales were approximately $4.9 million, $45.8
million and $124.5 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively, and included export sales to Europe of approximately
$1.8 million, $21.2 million and $57.3 million, respectively. The Pacific,
Asia, and Latin America region sales were approximately $3.1 million, $24.6
million and $67.2 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. During fiscal 1996, the Company entered into exclusive
distributor arrangements with respect to Japan and Europe and earns royalties
and commissions under such arrangements. For the fiscal year ended September
30, 1997, the Company earned approximately $1.3 million and $1.4 million in
royalties and commissions from Europe and Japan, respectively, which are
included in the above amounts.
One customer accounted for approximately 66.1%, 34.3% and 34.0% of the
Company's net sales during the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
NOTE EIGHT. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
RADIUS FISCAL 1995 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In September 1995, Radius recorded charges of $57.9 million in
connection with the Company's efforts to refocus its business on the color
publishing and multimedia markets. The charges primarily included a
writedown of inventory and other assets. Additionally, it included expenses
related to the cancellation of open purchase orders, excess facilities and
severance. The charges (in thousands) are included in cost of sales
($47,004), and selling, general and administrative expense ($10,861). The
elements of the total charge as of September 30, 1997 are as follows (in
thousands):
<TABLE>

Total charges $ 57,865 $ 37,900 $ 19,945 $ 20
--------- --------- --------- ------

</TABLE>
The adjustment of inventory levels reflects the discontinuance of
several product lines. Revenues and product margins for significant
product lines discontinued were as follows: MacOS-compatible systems
were $21.8 million and $(19.2 million), respectively; and low-margin
displays were $82.9 million and $19.6 million, respectively. The
provision for excess facility costs represents the write-off of
leasehold improvements and the costs associated with anticipated
reductions in facilities. The cancellation fees and asset write-offs
reflect the Company's decision to refocus its efforts on providing
solutions for the color publishing and multimedia markets. Employee
severance costs are related to employees or temporary employees who
have been or will be released due to the revised business model. As of
December 31, 1997, substantially all of the 240 positions planned had
been eliminated in connection with the new business model. The Company
has satisfied $19.9 million of the originally anticipated cash outlays
for this restructuring as of September 30, 1997, of which approximately
$6.0 million represented cash expenditures and approximately $13.9
million represented cancellation of indebtedness or claims in
consideration of the issuance of equity in the Company. See
"Management's Business Recovery Plans" at Note 1. During the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, approximately $913,000 of restructuring charges
were reversed and recorded as an expense reduction due to changes in
estimated requirements. The restructuring is substantially completed
and remaining cash outlays relate primarily to the restructuring of the
Company's international operations.
NOTE NINE. TECHNOLOGY LICENSING FROM REPLY CORPORATION
On March 31, 1997, the Company licensed certain technology from
Reply Corporation ("Reply") that allowed the Company to develop and
market PCI bus adapter cards featuring Windows compatibility to users
of Macintosh products. First customer shipments of these products were
made during the third fiscal quarter of 1997. Effective in the third
fiscal quarter, the Company purchased such technology along with
certain assets and inventory. The purchase price of such assets and
inventory was approximately $401,000, although, the Company is
required to pay a royalty fee based upon the number of products sold
which incorporate such technology. Radius products
-52-
<PAGE>
containing the acquired technology earn a royalty of 5% of net revenue
until cumulative royalties exceed $1.5 million, when the rate is reduced
to 3%, until cumulative royalties of $2.5 million are paid, after which no
royalty is due. As of September 30, 1997, Radius has paid or accrued
approximately $115,000 in royalties. Additionally, the Company issued
a warrant to Reply to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at a price of $1.25 per share exercisable over a forty-two month
period. The value of the warrants has been deemed to be immaterial.
NOTE TEN. BUSINESS DIVESTITURES
COLOR SERVER GROUP. In January 1996, the Company completed the
sale of its Color Server Group ("CSG") to Splash Merger Company, Inc.
(the "Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Splash Technology Holdings,
Inc. ("Splash"), a corporation formed by various investment entities
associated with Summit Partners. In fiscal 1996, the Company received
approximately $21.0 million in cash and, as of September 30, 1997, an
additional $2.0 million is being maintained in escrow to secure certain
indemnification obligations. The Company also received 4,282 shares of
Splash's 6% Series B Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Preferred Stock"). The shares of Series B Preferred Stock
were converted into shares of Splash's Common Stock outstanding in
connection with the initial public offering of Splash. In June 1996,
the Company granted IBM Credit, its secured lender, an option to
purchase 428 shares of Series B Preferred (now 174,113 shares of Splash
Common Stock) in connection with the restructuring of the terms of its
loan agreement with IBM Credit (also, see Note 11, regarding the
conversion of accounts payable and other creditor debt to equity in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.). These shares of Splash Common Stock
have been pledged to IBM Credit. IBM Credit has not exercised its
option.
On October 8, 1996, Splash completed its initial public offering
of common stock which reduced the Company's ownership position to
approximately 14.6 percent. The investment, which is available for
sale, subject to certain market trading restrictions, is accounted for
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 115. The unrealized gain of $22.1
million relating to the remaining 570,139 shares held, based upon the
closing price of $38.75 per share at fiscal year end 1997 is recorded
as a component of shareholders' equity at September 30, 1997.
PORTRAIT DISPLAY LABS. In January 1996, the Company entered into
a series of agreements with Portrait Display Labs, Inc. ("PDL"). The
agreements assigned the Company's pivoting technology to PDL and
canceled PDL's on-going royalty obligation to the Company under an
existing license agreement in exchange for a one-time cash payment.
The Company did not receive any material amount of payments under such
license agreement. PDL also granted the Company a limited license back
to the pivoting technology. Under these agreements, PDL also settled
its outstanding receivable to the Company by paying the Company
$500,000 in cash and issuing to the Company 214,286 shares of PDL's
Common Stock. The cash proceeds were paid to IBM Credit. The shares
of PDL Common Stock are pledged to IBM Credit. Due to an expected
recapitalization of PDL, the Company's interests will become deeply
subordinated to expected new investors in PDL. Therefore, the Company
does not anticipate that it will realize any future material benefit
from its investment in PDL. These shares are not valued for financial
purposes.
UMAX DATA SYSTEMS, INC. In February 1996, the Company sold its MacOS
compatible systems business to UMAX Computer Corporation ("UCC"), a company
formed by UMAX Data Systems, Inc. ("UMAX"). The Company received
approximately $2.3 million in cash and debt relief and 1,492,500 shares of
UCC's Common Stock, representing approximately 19.9% of UCC's then
outstanding shares of UCC Common Stock. The cash proceeds were paid to IBM
Credit and the shares of UCC Common Stock are pledged to IBM Credit. Due to
Apple's recent reversal in MacOS licensing policy, the value of the Company's
investment in UCC is uncertain. These shares are not valued for financial
purposes.
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES ELECTROHOME INC. In December 1995, the
Company completed the sale of its monochrome display monitor business
to Display Technologies Electrohome Inc. ("DTE"). DTE purchased
Radius' monochrome display monitor business and certain assets related
thereto, for approximately $200,000 in cash and cancellation of $2.5
million of the Company's indebtedness to DTE. In addition, DTE and
Radius canceled outstanding contracts relating to DTE's manufacture and
sale of monochrome display monitors to Radius.
NOTE ELEVEN. STOCK ISSUED TO CREDITORS
In September 1996, the Company, IBM Credit and its unsecured
creditors consummated a restructuring of the Company's outstanding
indebtedness pursuant to which the Company's creditors received equity
in satisfaction of
-53-
<PAGE>
their claims (the "Plan"). The Company issued 36,294,198 shares of Common
Stock in satisfaction of approximately $45.9 million in unsecured claims
(including a $1.0 million reserve for unknown or unresolved claims) and
repaid approximately $1.9 million of unsecured claims, most of which were
less than $50,000, at an average discount of approximately 75% of the amount
of the claim. Of these shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan,
791,280 were issued to the Radius Creditors Trust for the purpose of
satisfying unresolved or unknown claims. As of September 30, 1997, all
shares of Common Stock held by the Radius Creditors Trust had been
disbursed to various claimants. The Company also issued 750,000 shares of
its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into an aggregate of
5,523,030 shares of Common Stock, or 6,075,333 shares in certain
circumstances) and warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock to
IBM Credit in satisfaction of $3.0 million indebtedness and in consideration
of restructuring its remaining approximately $23.4 million indebtedness to
IBM Credit. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares
of Common Stock to Mitsubishi in consideration of the extension of open
credit terms to the Company. The warrants expire October 13, 2000.
The Company also issued to its unsecured creditors, who received Common
Stock, Rights ("Rights") to receive up to an additional 11,046,060
shares of Common Stock in the event that the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock (including 240,824
Rights issued to the Radius Creditors Trust). All outstanding shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemed in September 1997.
Because such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was redeemed prior to
conversion of any shares of such Preferred Stock into Common Stock, no
shares of Common Stock will be issuable pursuant to the Rights. All
such Rights have expired.
Considering the value of the Common and Preferred Stock issued or
issuable to the creditors, the percentage of the Company's ownership issued
to the creditors, the large blocks of stock issued to a certain few
creditors, Common Stock warrants issued and other costs, such as cash
settlements, legal and accounting expenses and the option to IBM Credit to
purchase 10% of the Company's investment in Splash, and considering
appropriate discounts on the stock issued, the Company concluded that the
value of consideration given up was equal to the indebtedness forgiven. As
a result, the accompanying financial statements do not include any
extraordinary gain or loss resulting from the execution of the Plan.
NOTE TWELVE. FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 1997 CHARGES
In September 1997, the Company recorded charges of $8.1 million as a
result of its decision to focus its efforts on its color publishing and
digital video software product lines while discontinuing the development of
its accelerated color graphics products and its DOS on Mac products. These
charges included a writedown of inventory of $4.1 million, the establishment
of reserves for purchase order commitments by its contract manufacturers of
$2.0 million, the establishment of reserves for returns and price protection
of $1.9 million, and severance for employees that were released in October
1997 of $0.1 million. Additional charges of $2.5 million were recorded due
to changes in estimates to increase the reserve for doubtful accounts by $1.5
million and to provide for sales tax and other exposures totaling $1.0
million. The expected cash outlays in 1998 represented by these charges is
approximately $3.0 million.
