more fully  described  in Item 4 below,  pursuant to a plan of the Company  (the
"Plan"),  in satisfaction of claims of $12,282,885  (the "Claims").  The Plan is

Corporation  ("IBM  Credit"),   and  The  Unofficial  Creditors  Committee  (the
"Committee") of Radius, Inc. (the "Term Sheet");  (ii) a letter,  dated July 11,

the past.


Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

The Company  has  informed  the  Holders  that,  as of June 30,  1996,  it had a
negative net worth,  was  delinquent in its accounts  payable,  and that several
vendors had initiated legal action to collect allegedly  delinquent accounts and
at least two  vendors  had orally  threatened  the  Company  with init iation of
insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. The Company has informed the Holders that,
as a result, the Company established the Committee,  which is comprised of eight
of the  Company's  larger  unsecured  creditors,  in an  effort to  resolve  its
delinquent accounts payable, capital deficiency, and c reditor litigation issues
outside  of  insolvency  or  bankruptcy  proceedings.  SCI  is a  member  of the
Committee.  The Company has informed the Holders that the Company, the Committee
and IBM Credit agreed to the Plan,  pursuant to which,  among other things,  (i)
IBM Credit  received the Series A Preferre d Stock in satisfaction of $3 million
of the Company's  approximately $26.4 million secured indebtedness to IBM Credit
and in  consideration of the  restructuring  of its loan with the Company,  plus
warrants to purchase  600,000  shares of Common  Stock,  and (ii) the  Company's
unsecured  creditors  received  either shares of Common Stock or, in the case of
certain creditors, a discounted cash payment, in satisfaction of certain claims.
The  Company has  informed  the Holders  that,  pursuant to the Plan,  unsecured
creditors received  36,294,198 shares of Common Stock, or 60% of the outstanding
Common  Stock after  consummation  of the Plan.  The Company  has  informed  the
Holders that an increase in the authorized  number of shares of Common Stock was
necessary  to  implement  the Plan,  and that the Company  obtained  shareholder
approval for such increase at a special  meeting of  shareholders  on August 27,
199 6. SCI received the Shares upon  consummation  of the Plan on September  12,
1996 pursuant to a Subscription  Agreement,  dated August 27, 1996,  between SCI
Systems,  Inc. and the Company  (the  "Subscription  Agreement").  A copy of the
Subscription  Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4 hereto, and the descr iption of
the Subscription  Agreement set forth herein is hereby qualified in its entirety
by reference thereto.

The Company has  informed  the Holders  that a portion of the Series A Preferred
Stock is automatically convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time which
is 90 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in
Item 6 herein),  if (i) the Registration  Statement is in effect and the use of
the prospectus  contained  therein has not then been suspended,  and (ii) if the
trading  price of the  Common  Stock  exceeds,  for a period  of 15  consecutive
trading  days,  a price per share equal to $0.815 and a  registration  statement
with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of such securities is
in effect. The Company has informed the Holders that the Registration  Statement
covers the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and was declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 1996.

The Company has  informed  the Holders  that the  unsecured  creditors  received
rights to receive an aggregate  of  11,046,060  additional  shares of the Common
Stock in the event that the Series A Preferred  Stock is  converted  into Common
Stock so that the number of shares of Common Stock  received by such  unsecured
creditors  continues to represent 60% of the outstanding Common Stock after such
conversion.  SCI received the Rights upon  consummation of the Plan on September
12, 1996.

Each of the  Holders so holds its direct or indirect  interest,  as the case may
be, in the Shares and the Rights for investment purposes. Ledbetter has attended
and  participated  in meetings of the Company's Board of Directors as an invited
guest of the Company's  Board of Directors and, since October 1996, as a member
of the  Company's  Board of  Directors.  Ledbetter  was active on the  Company's
Unofficial  Creditors  Committee on behalf of SCI and SCI Technology.  Ledbetter
resigned  from the  Company's  Board of  Directors  on November  19,  1996,  and
disclaims  membership in the Group or beneficial  ownership of any of the Shares
or the Rights on and after such date.

As more fully discussed in Item 6 herein,  the Holders disposed of (i) 1,500,000
of the Shares on November 19,  1996,  (ii) 700,000 of the Shares on November 20,
1996,  (iii) 200,000 of the Shares on November 21, 1996, and (iv) 100,000 of the
Shares on  November  22,  1996,  in each case to a market maker for the  Common
Stock on the NASDAQ  Small Cap Market and in response to market  conditions  and
prices for the Common Stock.  The Holders  intend to dispose of the remainder of
the Shares,  and may  consider  disposing of the Rights,  and when  issued,  the
Rights  Shares,  when lawful at any time and from time to time,  depending upon
market  conditions and prevailing  prices for the Common Stock. The Holders have
no plan or  proposal,  other than as  described  herein,  which may relate to or
would result in: (a) the  acquisition by any person of additional  securities of
the  Company,  or  the  disposition  of  securities  of  the  Company;   (b)  an
extraordinary  corporate  transaction,  such  as  a  merger,  reorganization  or
liquidation,  involving  the Company or any of its  subsidiaries;  (c) a sale or
transfer  of a  material  amount  of  assets  of  the  Company  or of any of its
subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of
the  Company,  including  any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors  or to fill any  existing  vacancies  on the board;  (e) any  material
change in the present  capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any
other  material  change  in the  Company's  business  or  corporate  structure,
including  but  not  limited  to,  if the  Company  is a  registered  closed-end
investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment
policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment  Company Act
of  1940;  (g)  changes  in  the  Company's   charter,   bylaws  or  instruments
corresponding  thereto or other  actions  which may impede  the  acquisition  of
control of the Company by any person;  (h) causing a class of  securities of the
Company to be  delisted  from a national  securities  exchange or to cease to be
authorized  to be quoted in an  inter-dealer  quotation  system of a registered
national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company
becoming  eligible for termination of registration  pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934;  or (j) any action  similar to any of
those  enumerated  above.  The Holder reserves the right to adopt other plans or
proposals in the future.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of Issuer

As more fully  discussed in Item 4 herein,  at the close of business on November
19, 1996, each of the Holders other than Ledbetter  beneficially  owned the same
7,219,200 shares of the Common Stock, which represents  approximately  13.25% of
the shares of the Common Stock outstanding on such date, and beneficially  owned
the same rights to receive an additional  2,958,017  shares of Common Stock upon
the  conversion of the Series A Preferred  Stock into Common Stock as more fully
described in Item 4 above. As more fully discussed in Item 4 herein, the Holders
other  than  Ledbetter  share  power to vote,  and to direct  the voting of, and
shares power to dispose of, and to direct the disposition of, the Shares and the
