The  year  2005  was  marked  by  dramatic  and  important  change  at  Cray.  As  reÖected  in  our  stock
performance and, in particular, our Ñrst half operating results, change on behalf of our shareholders was clearly
required. Ultimately, our goal is to create shareholder value by innovating on behalf of our customers and
delivering to them value in the form of world-class supercomputers, service and support.

We took a number of steps towards achieving this goal: adding key management personnel to improve
leadership and execution capability, reÑning our product strategy to focus on leadership technology develop-
ment and initiating operational adjustments intended to reduce our cost structure and increase eÇciencies. I
Ñrmly believe that as a consequence of these actions, we have improved Cray's position in the marketplace and
have provided the framework to once again grow and achieve sustained proÑtability.

Our Progress

In 2005 we increased our revenue to $201 million, a 38% improvement over 2004. This growth came by
extending our reach internationally and increasing market share in key segments around the world. While we
continued to strengthen our customer base in the intelligence, defense and scientiÑc research communities, we
also  expanded  our  presence  in  other  high  performance  computing  sectors,  such  as  earth  sciences  and
computer-aided  engineering.  In  Europe,  we  increased  our  customer  base  signiÑcantly,  adding  inÖuential
organizations  like  the  Swiss  National  Supercomputing  Centre  and  within  the  current  year,  the  United
Kingdom's AWE plc. It was also a record year in revenue for Cray Japan where we added marquee customers,
including the Sony Corporation and Toyota Auto Body. We further solidiÑed our North American customer
base with the addition of leading scientiÑc organizations, such as the Maui High Performance Computing
Center and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.

From an operating perspective, we are seeing positive results of our cost-cutting measures in the form of
reduced operating expenses, positive cash Öow in the second half of 2005, and a greatly improved balanced
sheet, ending the year with a $46 million cash position. We delayed Ñling our 2005 Form 10-K due to the
investigation and subsequent resolution of a non-cash revenue recognition error that we discovered relative to
our 2004 Ñnancial results and have restated our 2004 Ñnancial statements to correct this error. We have
addressed all of the material weaknesses identiÑed in our 2004 Sarbanes-Oxley compliance assessment and are
pleased  to  say  that  we  and  our  external  auditors  agree  that  the  necessary  internal  controls  are  operating
eÅectively as of year-end 2005.

Today we are experiencing strong customer support of our existing systems and expect increasing success
with  our  planned  product  introductions  over  the  next  few  years.  Just  in  the  past  year,  our  customers  have
exploited the unmatched capabilities of Cray supercomputers, resulting in remarkable scientific and engineering
breakthroughs. A handful of such accomplishments achieved on Cray's current computing platforms include:

‚ Korea Meteorological Administration is using its Cray X1ETM supercomputer, the fastest operational
numerical weather prediction system in the world, to facilitate development and operational services
for weather prediction and climate study, resulting in more accurate and timely weather, seasonal
climate and ocean wave forecasts.

‚ Using a Cray XT3TM system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers looking at alternative fuel
sources like fusion have been able to run the largest ever simulation of plasma behavior in a tokamak
(a type of plasma containment system) at the core of the multinational collaborative project known as
the  International  Thermonuclear  Experimental  Reactor  (ITER).  Viable  tokamaks  are  a  critical
element in potentially harnessing this virtually unlimited source of environmentally safe electricity.

‚ Leading golf equipment designer and manufacturer, PING Inc., is using the Cray XD1TM system as a
critical part of its research and development program, reducing the time needed to conduct preliminary
structural tests of new club designs from weeks to hours.

‚ Researchers  are  using  the  Cray  X1E  supercomputer  at  the  Army  High  Performance  Computing
Research Center to develop application software to simulate Öuid Öow in and around dynamically
changing  structures.  This  technology  is  likely  to  have  a  dramatic  impact  on  expanding  the  use  of
supercomputing to address more complex multi-physics problems in applied science and engineering.
They have successfully simulated a variety of complex mechanical designs, such as an artiÑcial heart,
micro-unmanned aerial vehicles, rotocrafts, engines and turbines, as well as natural phenomena like the
Öapping of a hummingbird's wings.

‚ Researchers using ""Red Storm,'' the Cray XT3 supercomputer at Sandia National Laboratories, are
exploring our universe in new ways. The Golevka asteroid has been an object of special interest since
2003,  when  NASA  scientists  discovered  its  course  had  changed,  renewing  interest  in  predicting
asteroids' paths and learning how to deÖect any that might be headed for Earth. Although Golevka is
not currently on a collision course with our planet, the available data on this well-studied asteroid has
enabled  scientists  at  Sandia  to  simulate  the  eÅects  of  a  hypothetical,  10-megaton  explosion  at
Golevka's center, a calculation that ran for 12 hours on over 7,000 of Red Storm's processors.

Our Direction and Vision

Our focus is on regaining market leadership in capability-class supercomputing through innovation and
execution. It is through innovation that our customers hope to achieve their goals, and therefore what we strive
to  deliver.  Execution,  from  cost  containment  to  revenue  growth  as  well  as  timely,  high-quality  product
introductions, requires eÅective coordination across a strong management team and the commitment of a
talented employee base. I believe that we have built a Cray team that is focused on execution, innovation and
regaining market leadership.

Continuous innovation is an everyday theme at Cray as we push to provide capability computing for
scientists and engineers at the forefront of technology. Even as our customers break new, exciting barriers
using  Cray  systems,  their  need  for  even  higher  performance  is  unlimited.  Increasingly,  problems  and
applications  are  becoming  more  complex  with  computing  requirements  that  surpass  the  limits  of  today's
technologies.  We  see  this  as  a  tremendous  opportunity  to  create  a  paradigm  shift  in  the  industry  and
reestablish Cray's market leadership. We envision a new supercomputing platform that integrates not one but
multiple processing technologies into a single, highly-scalable system that can adapt to the unique needs of
each application, providing superior performance and enhanced user productivity. We call this vision Adaptive
Supercomputing.

We believe the Adaptive Supercomputing approach is ideally suited to address the limitations of today's
supercomputers. Ultimately, the concept of Adaptive Supercomputing will enable our customers to overcome
barriers and accomplish their mission-critical goals. Given the breadth of our core technologies, the proven
capability  of  our  supercomputing  products  and  the  talents  of  our  team,  we  believe  that  we  are  uniquely
positioned to deliver on this vision.

In closing, I would like to welcome our new Chairman, Steve Kiely. I feel privileged to work with Steve
and believe his appointment is serving the Company and our shareholders well. I would also like to recognize
and thank our original founders, Jim Rottsolk and Burton Smith, for their many years of devotion to our
company. Cray would not exist today if it were not for their dedication, leadership and innovative thinking Ì I
know that their passion for supercomputing and the Cray legacy will live on in our new management team.

With the changes we have made in management, strategy and operations, I believe we will look back on
2005  as  the  year  we  fundamentally  repositioned  Cray  for  a  return  to  leadership  in  the  supercomputing
market Ì and I am very excited to be part of it. Moreover, I believe the objectives we have established will
position Cray for achieving sustained proÑtability and creating shareholder value.

On  behalf  of  our  Board  of  Directors  and  management,  I  would  like  to  thank  all  of  our  employees,
customers,  partners  and  shareholders  for  your  continued  support  and  loyalty  to  the  most  innovative
supercomputing company in the world.

June 6, 2006

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

Q: Why did you send me this Proxy Statement?

A: We sent you this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card because our Board of Directors is soliciting
your proxy to vote your shares of common stock at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This proxy
may also be used at any adjournment of that meeting.

This Proxy Statement summarizes the information regarding the matters to be voted upon at the Annual
Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. You may vote by Internet or

We began sending this Proxy Statement out on or about April 28, 2006, to all shareholders entitled to vote.
If you owned shares of our common stock at the close of business on April 17, 2006, the record date for the
Annual Meeting, you are entitled to vote those shares. On the record date, there were 91,750,299 shares of
our common stock outstanding, our only class of stock having general voting rights.

Q: How many votes do I have?

A: You have one vote for each share of our common stock that you owned on the record date. The proxy card

indicates the number of shares you owned on the record date.

Q: How can I vote?

A: You may vote by using the Internet, by telephone, by returning the enclosed proxy card or by voting in

person at the Annual Meeting.

Q: How do I vote by Internet or by telephone?

A: For Shares Registered Directly in Your Name:

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you may vote on the Internet or by telephone through
services offered by our transfer agent, Mellon Investors Services LLC. Internet voting is available at the
following address: http://proxyvoting.com/cray. You should read this Proxy Statement and be prepared to
vote, and have available your 11-digit control number located on the right side at the bottom of your proxy
card.

To vote by telephone, please use a touch-tone phone and call 1-866-540-5760 (toll-free). You will be
asked to enter your 11-digit control number located on your proxy card.

You may vote by Internet or by telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight
Time/8:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 5, 2006, the day before the Annual Meeting.

For Shares Registered in the Name of a Brokerage Firm or Bank:

A number of brokerage firms and banks participate in a program for shares held in ""street name'' that
offers Internet and telephone voting options. This program is different from the program provided by
Mellon Investor Services LLC, for shares registered directly in the name of the shareholder. If your shares
are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank participating in this program, you may vote those shares
by using the web site or calling the telephone number referenced on your voting form and following the
instructions provided by your broker or banker.

Q: How do I vote by proxy?

A: If you properly fill in your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote, your ""proxy'' (one of the individuals
named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not
make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board as follows:

1.

2.

3.

""for'' electing the eight nominees for director, each to serve one-year terms;

""for'' approval of an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-four
reverse stock split of all outstanding and authorized shares of our common stock;

""for'' approval of an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of
authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares (on a pre-split basis); and

4.

""for'' approval of our 2006 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan.

If any other matter is presented, your proxy will vote in accordance with his best judgment. At the time we
printed this Proxy Statement, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting
other than those discussed in this Proxy Statement.

Q: May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

A: Yes. If you change your mind after you have voted by Internet or telephone or sent in your proxy card and

wish to revote, you may do so by following these procedures:

1. Vote again by Internet or by telephone;

2. Send in another signed proxy with a later date;

3. Send  a  letter  revoking  your  vote  or  proxy  to  our  Corporate  Secretary  at  our  offices  in  Seattle,

Washington; or

4. Attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

We will tabulate the latest valid vote or instruction that we receive from you.

Q: How do I vote if I hold shares in my Cray 401(k) account?

A: Shares of Cray stock held in the Cray 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust (the ""401(k) Plan'') are registered
in the name of the Trustee of the 401(k) Plan, Fidelity Management Trust Company. Nevertheless, under
the 401(k) Plan participants may instruct the Trustee how to vote the shares of Cray common stock
allocated to their accounts.

The shares allocated under the 401(k) Plan can be voted by submitting voting instructions by Internet, by
telephone or by mailing in a special proxy card with respect to the shares held in the participant's account;
this card has a blue stripe at the top. Voting of shares held in the 401(k) Plan must be completed by the
close of business on Thursday, June 1, 2006. These shares cannot be voted at the Annual Meeting and
prior voting instructions cannot be revoked at the Annual Meeting. Otherwise, participants can vote these
shares in the same manner as described above for shares held directly in the name of the shareholder.

The Trustee will cast votes for shares in the 401(k) Plan according to each participant's instructions. If the
Trustee does not receive instructions from a participant in time for the Annual Meeting, the Trustee will
vote the participant's allocated shares in the same manner and proportion as the shares with respect to
which voting instructions were received.

Q: How do I vote in person?

A: If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, we will give you a ballot when you arrive. If
your shares are held in the ""street name'' of your bank or brokerage firm, you must obtain a ""legal proxy''
from  the  bank  or  brokerage  firm  that  holds  your  shares.  You  should  contact  your  bank  or  brokerage
account executive to learn how to obtain a legal proxy.

Q: What is the quorum requirement for the meeting?

A: The quorum requirement for holding the meeting and transacting business is a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to be voted. The shares may be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence
of a quorum.

Q: What vote is required to approve each proposal?

A: Proposal 1: To Elect Eight Directors For One-Year Terms.

The eight nominees for Director who receive the most votes will be elected. Accordingly, if you do not vote
for a nominee, or you indicate ""withhold authority to vote'' for a nominee on your proxy card, your vote
will not count either ""for'' or ""against'' the nominee.

Proposal 2: To Approve an Amendment to Our Restated Articles of Incorporation to Effect a One-for-
Four Reverse Stock Split of All Outstanding and Authorized Shares of Our Common Stock.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote is
required to approve the amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-four
reverse stock split of all outstanding and authorized shares of our common stock. If you do not vote, or if
you abstain from voting on any proposal, it has the same effect as if you voted against such proposal.

Proposal  3: To  Approve  an  Amendment  to  Our  Restated  Articles  of  Incorporation  To  Increase  the
Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 Shares (on a pre-split
basis).

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote is
required to approve the amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares (on a pre-split basis). If you
do not vote, or if you abstain from voting, it has the same effect as if you voted against this proposal.

Proposal 4: To Approve Our 2006 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan.

To approve our 2006 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, the number of shares voted in favor of the
proposal must exceed the number of shares voted against. If you do not vote, or if you abstain from voting,
it has no effect on this proposal.

Q: What is the effect of broker non-votes?

A: If your broker holds your shares in its ""street name'' and does not receive voting instructions from you,

your broker nevertheless may vote your shares on Proposals 1, 2 and 3 but not on Proposal 4.

If a broker does not vote for a particular proposal, that is considered a broker non-vote. Broker non-votes
will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

A broker non-vote on Proposals 2 and 3 would have the same effect as a vote against these proposals,
because passage requires the affirmative vote by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common
stock.

A broker non-vote would have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1 or Proposal 4 as only a plurality of
votes cast is required to elect a Director and a majority of the votes cast is required to approve our 2006
Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan.

Q: Who will count the vote?

A: Representatives  of  Mellon  Investor  Services  LLC,  our  transfer  agent,  will  serve  as  the  Inspector  of

Elections and count the votes.

Q: Is voting confidential?

A: We keep all the proxies, ballots and voting tabulations private as a matter of practice. We let only our
Inspector of Elections (Mellon Investor Services LLC) examine these documents. We will not disclose
your  vote  to  our  management  unless  it  is  necessary  to  meet  legal  requirements.  We  will  forward  to
management, however, any written comments that you make on the proxy card or elsewhere.

Q: Who pays the costs of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting?

A: We will pay all the costs of soliciting these proxies. Although we are mailing these proxy materials, our
officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by fax, via the Internet or other electronic
means of communication, or in person. No additional compensation will be paid to officers or employees
for their assistance in soliciting proxies. We will reimburse banks, brokers, nominees and other fiduciaries
for the expenses they incur in forwarding the proxy materials to you. W. F. Doring & Co., Inc. may help
solicit proxies for an approximate cost of $5,000 plus reasonable expenses.

Q: I receive multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other documents

from Cray. Can I reduce the number of copies that I receive?

A: Yes, if you own shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee.

Householding, a process that reduces the number of copies of the annual meeting materials and other
correspondence you receive through us, has been implemented for shareholders who share the same last
name and address and hold shares in ""street name,'' where the shares are held through the same brokerage
firm, bank or other nominee. This has saved us sending over 7,500 additional copies this year. If you hold
your shares in street name and would like to start, or stop, householding, please call 1-800-542-1061 and
provide the name of your broker, bank or other nominee and your account number(s).

We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the annual meeting materials to a
shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of such materials had been delivered.

Q: As a registered shareholder, can I view future proxy statements, annual reports and other documents over

the Internet, and not receive any hard copies through the mail?

A: Yes. If you wish to elect to view future proxy statements, annual reports and other documents only over the
Internet, please visit the Mellon Investor Service Direct web page, www.melloninvestor.com/isd/, and
follow the instructions for establishing a personal identification number and obtaining your documents
electronically. Your election to view these documents over the Internet will remain in effect until you
revoke it. Please be aware that if you choose to access these materials over the Internet, you may incur
costs such as telephone and Internet access charges for which you will be responsible.

Q: Whom should I call if I have any questions?

A: If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting or voting, or your ownership of our common stock,
please contact Kenneth W. Johnson, our Corporate Secretary, at (206) 701-2000. Mr. Johnson's email
address is ken@cray.com.

(1) This  table  is  based  upon  information  supplied  by  the  named  executive  officers,  directors  and  5%
shareholders,  including  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  ""SEC'').  Unless
otherwise indicated in these notes and subject to community property laws where applicable, each of the
listed shareholders has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown as beneficially
owned by such shareholder. The number of shares and percentage of beneficial ownership includes shares
of common stock issuable pursuant to stock options and warrants held by the person or group in question,
which may be exercised or converted on April 17, 2006, or within 60 days thereafter.

(2) Mr.  Peizer  has  sole  voting  and  dispositive  powers  regarding  the  shares  of  common  stock  underlying
certain warrants, which are held of record by Laphroig LLC (warrants for 4,882,438 shares) and Chinaco
LLC (warrants for 256,970 shares).

(3) The information under the column ""Common Shares Owned'' is based on a Schedule 13G filed with the
SEC on February 15, 2006, regarding ownership as of December 31, 2005. In that Schedule 13G, Wells
Fargo  &  Company,  as  parent  company,  reported  sole  voting  power  over  10,078,142  shares  and  sole
dispositive power over 10,319,173 shares, with one subsidiary, Wells Capital Management Incorporated,
reporting sole voting power over 2,650,002 shares and sole dispositive power over 9,896,478 shares and
another  subsidiary,  Wells  Fargo  Funds  Management,  LLC,  reporting  sole  voting  power  over
7,428,140  shares  and  sole  dispositive  power  over  422,695  shares.  We  have  issued  a  common  stock
purchase warrant to Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., which we believe is affiliated with the foregoing entities,
covering 200,000 shares, which is not reflected on the Schedule 13G.

(4) The number of common shares shown for the indicated executive officers includes restricted shares which
vest  on  June  30,  2007,  and  are  forfeitable  in  certain  circumstances,  as  follows:  Mr.  Ungaro Ì
600,000  shares,  Mr.  Henry Ì 350,000  shares,  Ms.  Williams Ì 350,000  shares,  Mr.  Johnson Ì
100,000 shares, and other executive officers Ì 150,000 shares.

(5) Mr.  Rottsolk  disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of  5,871  shares  for  which  he  has  voting  and  dispositive

powers as custodian for his son under the Washington Uniform Gifts to Minors Act.

(6) Mr.  Johnson  disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of  2,600  shares  for  which  he  has  voting  and  dispositive
powers as a trustee of trusts for the benefit of his children, 100 shares owned by his wife and 500 shares
owned by a child.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ""Exchange Act'') requires that our directors,
executive  officers  and  greater-than-10%  shareholders  file  reports  with  the  SEC  on  their  initial  beneficial
ownership of our common stock and any subsequent changes. They must also provide us with copies of the
reports.

We are required to tell you in this Proxy Statement if we know about any failure to report as required. We
reviewed copies of all reports furnished to us and obtained written representations that no other reports were
required. Based on this, we believe that all of these reporting persons complied with their filing requirements
for 2005.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The goals of our Board of Directors are to build long-term value for our shareholders and to assure our
vitality  for  our  customers,  employees  and  others  that  depend  on  us.  Our  Board  has  adopted  and  follows
corporate governance practices that our Board and our senior management believe promote these purposes,
are  sound  and  represent  best  practices.  To  this  end  we  have  adopted  charters  for  each  of  our  Board
committees, guidelines for our corporate governance and a Code of Business Conduct that applies to all of our
directors, officers and employees. We periodically review these governance practices against requirements of
the SEC, the listing standards of the Nasdaq National Market System (""Nasdaq''), the laws of the State of
Washington and practices suggested by recognized corporate governance authorities.

The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors oversees our business and affairs and monitors the performance of management.
In accordance with corporate governance principles, the Board does not involve itself in day-to-day operations.
The  directors  keep  themselves  informed  through  discussions  with  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  other  key
executives and our principal external advisers (legal counsel and outside auditors), by reading the reports and
other materials that we send them regularly and by participating in Board and committee meetings.

Currently our Board has eight members. The Board has determined that seven directors, identified on the
Common Stock Ownership table above, meet the Nasdaq National Market System standards for indepen-
dence. Only independent directors serve on our Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees.

The Board met ten times and the Board standing committees held a total of 35 meetings during 2005.
Each director attended at least 95% of the meetings of the Board and relevant standing committees on which
such director served. The average attendance for all directors at Board and standing committee meetings was
over 98%.

The Committees of the Board

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Govern-
ance Committee as standing committees of the Board. None of the Directors who serve as members of these
committees is, or has ever been, one of our employees.

Audit Committee. The current members of the Audit Committee are: Daniel C. Regis (Chair), Sally
G. Narodick and Stephen C. Richards. The Audit Committee and the Board have determined that each
member of the Audit Committee is ""independent,'' as that term is defined in SEC and Nasdaq National
Market rules and regulations, and that Mr. Regis is an ""audit committee financial expert,'' as that term is
defined in SEC regulations. The Audit Committee had 25 meetings during 2005. The Audit Committee
assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of:

‚ the quality and integrity of our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our

financial statements,

‚ the qualifications and independence of the public auditing firm engaged to issue an audit report on our

financial statements,

‚ the  performance  of  our  systems  of  internal  controls,  disclosure  controls  and  internal  audit

functions, and

‚ our procedures for legal and regulatory compliance, risk assessment and business conduct standards.

The Audit Committee is directly and solely responsible for appointing, determining the compensation
payable to, overseeing, terminating and replacing any independent auditor engaged by us for the purpose of
preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for us.

The  Audit  Committee  charter  and  the  Code  of  Business  Conduct  are  available  on  our  web  site:
www.cray.com under ""Investors Ì Corporate Governance Ì Committee Charters'' and ""Ì Governance Doc-
uments,'' respectively. The report of the Audit Committee regarding its review of the financial statements and
other matters is set forth below on page 29.

Compensation  Committee. The  current  members  of  the  Compensation  Committee  are:  Frank  L.
Lederman (Chair), John B. Jones, Jr., Kenneth W. Kennedy, Jr., Stephen C. Kiely and Stephen C. Richards
(who joined the Committee in October 2005). The Compensation Committee and the Board have determined
that each member of the Compensation Committee is ""independent,'' as that term is defined in Nasdaq rules
and regulations. The Compensation Committee held seven meetings in 2005. The Compensation Committee
assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities for the oversight of:

‚ our compensation policies, plans and benefit programs,

‚ the compensation of the chief executive officer and other executive officers, and

‚ the administration of our equity compensation plans.

Our compensation policies, plans and programs are designed to attract and retain the best personnel to
allow us to achieve our goals and maintain our competitive posture. We seek to foster an environment that
rewards  superior  performance  and  aligns  the  interests  of  our  employees  to  the  long-term  interests  of  our
shareholders through equity incentives. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the
compensation of our executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Board (acting in executive

P

session  without  the  presence  of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer)  determines  the  compensation  of  the  Chief
Executive Officer based on the recommendation of the Committee.

The Compensation Committee adopted a charter that has been approved by the Board of Directors. The
Compensation Committee charter is available on our web site: www.cray.com under ""Investors Ì Corporate
Governance Ì Committee Charters.'' Each year, the Compensation Committee reports to you on executive
compensation. The Compensation Committee's Report on Executive Compensation for 2005 is set forth below
beginning on page 18.

Corporate Governance Committee. The current members of the Corporate Governance Committee are:
Stephen C. Kiely (Chair), Frank L. Lederman and Daniel C. Regis. The Corporate Governance Committee
and the Board have determined that each member of the Corporate Governance Committee is ""independent,''
as  that  term  is  defined  in  Nasdaq  National  Market  rules  and  regulations.  The  Corporate  Governance
Committee held three meetings in 2005. The Corporate Governance Committee has the responsibility to:

‚ develop and recommend to the Board a set of corporate governance principles,

‚ recommend qualified individuals to the Board for nomination as directors,

‚ lead the Board in its annual review of the Board's performance, and

‚ recommend directors to the Board for appointment to Board committees.

The Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a charter and Corporate Governance Guidelines,
both of which have been approved by the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance Committee charter
and the Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our web site: www.cray.com under ""Investors-
Corporate Governance Ì Committee Charters'' and ""Ì Governance Documents,'' respectively.

From time to time, the Board establishes other committees on an ad-hoc basis to assist in its oversight

responsibilities.

Lead Director; Chairman of the Board

In January 2005 the Board appointed Stephen C. Kiely as Lead Director; in August 2005 Mr. Kiely was
appointed as Chairman of the Board, a non-executive position. As Lead Director and as Chairman, Mr. Kiely
consults with Mr. Ungaro, as Chief Executive Officer, regarding agenda items for Board meetings; chairs
executive sessions of the Board's independent directors; communicates concerns of the independent directors
to the Chief Executive Officer; and performs such other duties as the Board deems appropriate.

Shareholder Communications, Director Candidate Recommendations and Nominations and Other
Shareholder Proposals

Communications. The Corporate Governance Committee has established a procedure for our share-
holders  to  communicate  with  the  Board.  Communications  should  be  in  writing,  addressed  to:  Corporate
Secretary,  Cray  Inc.,  411  First  Avenue  South,  Suite  600,  Seattle,  WA  98104-2860,  and  marked  to  the
attention  of  the  Board  or  any  of  its  individual  committees  or  the  Chairman  of  the  Board.  Copies  of  all
communications so addressed will be promptly forwarded to the chairman of the committee involved, in the
case of the communications addressed to the Board as a whole, to the Corporate Governance Committee or, if
addressed to the Chairman, to the Chairman of the Board.

Director Candidates. The criteria for Board membership as adopted by the Board include a person's
integrity, knowledge, judgment, skills, expertise, collegiality, diversity of experience and other time commit-
ments (including positions on other company boards) in the context of the then-current composition of the
Board. The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the appropriate balance of skills
brought to the Board by its members, and ensuring that an appropriate mix of specialized knowledge (e.g.,
financial, industry or technology) is represented on the Board.

Once the Corporate Governance Committee has identified a potential director nominee, the Committee
in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer evaluates the prospective nominee against the specific criteria
that the Board has established and as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. If the Corporate

8

 
P
r
o
x
y
S
t
a
t
e
m
e
n
t

Governance Committee determines to proceed with further consideration, then members of the Corporate
Governance  Committee,  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  other  members  of  the  Board,  as  appropriate,
interview the prospective nominee. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Corporate Governance
Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board, which makes the final determination whether to elect
the new director.

The Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director recommended by sharehold-
ers and will evaluate those candidates using the criteria set forth above. Shareholders should accompany their
recommendations by a sufficiently detailed description of the candidate's background and qualifications to
allow the Corporate Governance Committee to evaluate the candidate in light of the criteria described above,
a document signed by the candidate indicating his or her willingness to serve if elected and evidence of the
nominating shareholder's ownership of our common stock. Such recommendation and documents should be
submitted  in  writing  to:  Corporate  Secretary,  Cray  Inc.,  411  First  Avenue  South,  Suite  600,  Seattle,
WA 98104-2860, marked to the attention of the Corporate Governance Committee.

In addition, our Bylaws permit shareholders to nominate directors at a shareholders' meeting. In order to
nominate a director at a shareholders' meeting, you must notify us not fewer than 60 nor more than 90 days in
advance of the meeting or, if later, by the 10th business day following the first public announcement of the
meeting.  In  addition,  the  proposal  must  contain  the  information  required  in  our  Bylaws  for  director
nominations, including:

‚ your name and address,

‚ the number of shares of our common stock which you own and when you acquired them,

‚ a representation that you intend to appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy,

‚ each nominee's name, age, address and principal occupation or employment,

‚ all information concerning the nominee that must be disclosed about nominees in proxy solicitations

under the SEC proxy rules, and

‚ each nominee's executed consent to serve as a director if so elected.

The Chairman of the Board, in his discretion, may determine that a proposed nomination was not made

in accordance with the required procedures and, if so, disregard the nomination.

Shareholder Proposals.

In order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy
statement for the 2007 Annual Meeting, we must receive the written proposal no later than December 31,
2006. Such proposals also must comply with SEC regulations regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals
in company-sponsored proxy materials.

In order for a shareholder proposal to be raised from the floor during the 2006 Annual Meeting, written
notice of the proposal must be received by us not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting or, if
later, by the 10th business day following the first public announcement of the meeting. The proposal must also
contain the information required in our Bylaws for shareholder proposals, including:

‚ a brief description of the business you wish to bring before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such

business and the language of the proposal,

‚ your name and address,

‚ the number of shares of our common stock which you own and when you acquired them,

‚ a representation that you intend to appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and

‚ any material interest you have in the business to be brought before the meeting.

The Chairman of the Board, if the facts so warrant, may direct that any business was not properly brought

before the meeting in accordance with our Bylaws.

If you wish to obtain a free copy of our Bylaws, please contact Kenneth W. Johnson, Corporate Secretary,
Cray Inc., 411 First Avenue South, Suite 600, Seattle, WA 98104-2860. The Bylaws are available on our web
site: www.cray.com under ""Investors Ì Corporate Governance Ì Governance Documents.''

How We Compensate Directors

Cash. Each non-employee Director receives an annual retainer of $10,000, paid quarterly, and a fee of
$2,500  for  each  meeting  of  the  Board  attended  in  person  or  $1,000  ($1,500  beginning  April  1,  2006)  if
attended telephonically. The Chairman of the Board receives an annual fee of $4,000, paid quarterly. The
Audit Committee chair receives an annual fee of $6,000, paid quarterly. The chairs of the Compensation
Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee each receive an annual fee of $2,000, paid quarterly,
and each director receives a fee of $1,000 ($2,000 beginning April 1, 2006) for each committee meeting
attended, whether in person or telephonically. When the Board creates committees other than the standing
committees identified above, the Board determines whether to extend the same committee fee structure to the
members  of  such  committees.  We  reimburse  all  expenses  related  to  participation  in  meetings  of  the
shareholders, Board and committees.

Equity Awards. Each non-employee director, upon his or her first election to the Board, is granted an
option for 20,000 shares, vesting immediately, and with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our
common stock on the date of such first election. Prior to 2005, each non-employee director, on the date of the
Annual Meeting, was granted a non-qualified option for 20,000 shares of our common stock, vesting monthly
over the next twelve months and with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on
the date of the Annual Meeting. If a non-employee director joined the Board during a term, he or she received
a  pro-rata  portion  of  the  options  for  20,000  shares.  In  2005,  non-employee  directors  received  options  for
20,000 shares that were laddered in installments of 5,000 shares each with per share exercise prices of $2.00,
$2.50, $3.00 and $3.50 each when the per share fair market value of our common stock was $1.47; these
options vested in full on December 31, 2005.

Commencing  with  the  Annual  Meeting  in  2006,  we  plan  to  grant  to  each  continuing  non-employee
director elected by the shareholders restricted shares of common stock with a value equal to that director's
fees  earned  in  the  previous  fiscal  year,  including  annual  retainer,  fees  for  chairing  the  Board  and  Board
committees  and  for  Board  and  committee  attendance.  The  per  share  value  of  shares  granted  will  be
determined by using the fair market value of our common stock on the date of such election. One-half of the
shares will be restricted against sale or transfer for a period of one year from date of grant; the balance will be
restricted against sale or transfer for a period of two years from the date of grant. The non-employee directors
may vote and receive dividends on the restricted shares while the restrictions remain in place. If a non-
employee director resigns from the Board without the prior approval of the Corporate Governance Committee
while the restrictions are in place, the non-employee director forfeits the shares so restricted. Implementation
of this policy is subject to shareholder approval of the 2006 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan. If the
shareholders do not approve that Plan, then we will grant stock options to non-employee directors pursuant to
our current practice.

The Board has established stock ownership guidelines pursuant to which, no later than two years after
receiving restricted shares under the new plan, non-employee directors should hold shares of common stock
with at least a value, based on acquisition cost, equal to one-year's Board retainer and Board attendance fees.

We do not compensate employee directors for their service on the Board.

Under the arrangements described above, our directors earned the following amounts for 2005: Daniel J.
Evans  (prior  to  his  retirement  from  the  Board) Ì $5,000;  John  B.  Jones,  Jr. Ì $40,500;  Kenneth  W.
Kennedy, Jr. Ì $38,500; Stephen C. Kiely Ì $45,500; Frank L. Lederman Ì $44,000; Sally G. Narodick Ì
$53,000;  Daniel  C.  Regis Ì $65,500  and  Stephen  C.  Richards Ì $53,000.  Each  director,  other  than
Mr. Evans, received stock options for 20,000 shares, that were laddered in installments of 5,000 shares each
with per share exercise prices of $2.00, $2.50, $3.00 and $3.50, respectively; these options vested in full on
December 31, 2005.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

We encourage but do not require our directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Although
we usually schedule a regular Board meeting on the morning before the Annual Meeting, we were not able to
schedule a Board meeting on the date of the rescheduled 2006 Annual Meeting. All of our directors attended
the 2005 Annual Meeting.

The Executive Officers

How We Compensate Executive Officers

The tables and text on this and the following pages describe the salaries, bonuses and other compensation
paid  during  the  last  three  years,  options  granted  in  2005,  option  values  as  of  year-end  2005  and  option
repricings, as applicable, for both individuals who served as our President and Chief Executive Officer in 2005,
our next four most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of
2005 and one individual who would have been one of our four most highly compensated executive officers but

(2) We granted options, including repriced options, for an aggregate of 6,388,530 shares to employees in

2005.

(3) On the date these options were granted, the fair market value of our common stock was $1.47 per share.

(4) On the date these options were granted, the fair market value of our common stock was $2.08 per share.

(5) These options, covering an aggregate of 216,700 shares, shown as granted to Mr. Johnson with a per share
exercise  price  of  $1.49,  were  outstanding  options  that  were  repriced  to  the  current  fair  value  of  our
common stock on December 20, 2005, the date of repricing. The terms of these options, other than the
exercise price, were not changed.

(6) The amounts reported in the last two columns represent hypothetical values that the executive officers
could realize upon exercise of the options immediately before the expiration of their terms, assuming the
specified  compounded  rates  of  appreciation  of  the  price  of  our  common  stock  over  the  term  of  the
options. We have calculated these numbers based on the rules of the SEC and they do not represent our
estimate of future price growth of our common stock. Our common stock may not achieve the rates of
appreciation assumed in this table, and the executive officers may not receive the amounts reflected in
this table. This table does not take into account any appreciation in the price of our common stock from
the date of grant to the current date. Values shown are net of the option exercise price but do not include
deductions for taxes or other expenses associated with the exercise.

(7) Mr. Rottsolk was President until March 7, 2005, and Chief Executive Officer until August 8, 2005. He
remained  an  employee  until  January  1,  2006.  Mr.  Rottsolk's  options,  if  not  exercised,  expire  on
December 31, 2007.

(8) Mr. Smith resigned as an officer and employee effective December 7, 2005, and these options terminated

as of that date.

Aggregated Option Values as of Year-End 2005

The following table provides information, with respect to each of the executive officers named in the
Summary Compensation Table, regarding the value of unexercised options held by them at December 31,
2005, less the applicable option exercise price but without any deduction for applicable taxes. Actual gains, if
any, will depend on the value of our common stock on the date of any sale of the underlying common stock.
No named executive officer exercised any stock options in 2005. All options held by the named executive
officers vested in full on or before December 31, 2005.

Ten-Year Option Repricings

In connection with a broad grant of stock options and restricted stock to employees, including executive
officers, on December 20, 2005, we repriced an aggregate of 1,274,260 outstanding stock options previously
granted under plans that permitted repricings, including the options described below to individuals who are, or
who received these stock options when they were, executive officers. Other than lowering the exercise price,
we made no other change to any of the option terms. This is the only time we have repriced outstanding stock
options.

(1) The  shareholders  approved  our  1988,  1995  Independent  Director,  1995,  1999  and  2003  stock  option
plans, our 2004 long-term equity compensation plan and our 2001 employee stock purchase plan; the
1988, the 1995 Independent Director and the 1995 stock option plans have been terminated and no more
options  may  be  granted  under  those  plans.  Pursuant  to  these  stock  option  plans,  incentive  and
nonqualified  options  may  be  granted  to  employees,  officers,  directors,  agents  and  consultants  with
exercise prices at least equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the time of grant.
While the Board may grant options with varying vesting periods under these plans, most options granted
to employees vest over 4 years, with 25% of the options vesting after one year and the remaining options
vesting monthly over the next three years, and most option grants to non-employee directors vest monthly
over the twelve months after grant. On March 21, 2005, the vesting of all employee stock options with per
share exercise prices of $2.36 or higher was accelerated, and on May 11, 2005, the vesting of all employee
stock options with per share exercise prices of $1.47 or higher was accelerated; the vesting of stock
options granted to non-employee directors and contractors was not accelerated. Most options granted in
2005 vested in full on or before December 31, 2005. Under the 2004 long-term equity compensation plan,

the Board may grant restricted and performance stock grants in addition to incentive and nonqualified
stock options. Under these option and equity compensation plans approved by shareholders under which
we  may  grant  stock  options,  an  aggregate  of  113,599  shares  remained  available  for  grant  as  of
December 31, 2005; we may grant restricted stock and stock bonuses only under the 2004 long-term
equity compensation plan; as of December 31, 2005, only 9,023 shares remained available for grant under
the 2004 long-term equity compensation plan.

Under the 2001 employee stock purchase plan, all employees are eligible to participate and through
December 15, 2005, had the right to purchase shares in three-month offering periods at the lesser of
(a)  85%  of  the  fair  market  value  of  the  common  stock  at  the  beginning  of  each  offering  period  or
(b) 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the end of each offering period. Effective
December 16, 2005, the pricing formula was changed to 95% of the fair market value of our common
stock  at  the  end  of  each  offering  period.  The  2001  employee  stock  purchase  plan  covers  a  total  of
4,000,000 shares; at December 31, 2005, we had issued a total of 1,850,131 shares under the 2001 plan
and had a total of 2,149,869 shares available for future issuance. The first two columns do not include the
shares  available  under  the  2001  employee  stock  purchase  plan  for  the  offering  period  that  spans
December 31, 2005, as neither the number of shares to be issued in that offering period nor the offering
price were then determinable.

(2) The shareholders did not approve the 2000 non-executive employee stock option plan. Under the 2000
non-executive employee stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors on March 30, 2000, an
aggregate of 6,000,000 shares pursuant to non-qualified options could be issued to employees, agents and
consultants but not to officers or directors. Otherwise, the 2000 non-executive employee stock option plan
is similar to the stock option plans described in footnote (1) above. At December 31, 2005, under the
2000 non-executive employee stock plan we had options for 3,658,030 shares outstanding and 100,070
options available for grant.

On April 1, 2004, in connection with the acquisition of OctigaBay Systems Corporation, subsequently
renamed  Cray  Canada  Inc.,  we  assumed  that  company's  key  employee  stock  option  plan,  including
existing  options.  Options  could  be  granted  to  Cray  Canada  employees,  directors  and  consultants.
Otherwise the Cray Canada key employee stock option plan is similar to the stock option plans described
in footnote (1) above. Under the Cray Canada key employee stock option plan, we had 857,187 options
outstanding  as  of  December  31,  2005.  On  March  8,  2006,  the  Cray  Canada  plan  was  terminated.
Although on December 31, 2005, we had 519,750 options available for grant to individuals eligible under
that plan, we issued no options under the Cray Canada plan between that date and termination of the
Cray Canada plan, and those shares are not included in third column above.

From  time  to  time  we  have  issued  warrants  as  compensation  to  consultants  and  others  for  services
without shareholder approval. As of December 31, 2005, we had no such warrants outstanding.

Management Agreements and Policies

Management Continuation Agreements. We have entered into Management Continuation Agreements
with certain of our employees, including our current executive officers named in the Summary Compensation
Table above. Pursuant to these agreements, each such officer or employee is eligible to receive, in the event
that his or her employment is terminated within three years following a change of control, other than for just
cause, death, disability, retirement or resignation other than for good reason, as such terms are defined in the
agreement, an amount equal to two times his or her annual compensation, continuation of health benefits and
group term life insurance for twenty-four months thereafter and the acceleration of vesting for all options held.
If these severance payments were to constitute ""excess parachute payments'' for federal income tax purposes,
we have agreed to pay any excise taxes due with respect to those ""excess parachute payments,'' and any
further excise taxes and federal and state income taxes due with respect to these additional payments, so that
the employee receives the same after-tax compensation the employee would have received if no excise tax
were imposed.

Under  the  Management  Continuation  Agreements,  ""annual  compensation''  means  one  year  of  base
salary, at the highest base salary rate that was paid to the employee in the 12-month period prior to the date of
his or her termination of employment, plus 100% of the annual bonus which the employee was eligible to
receive in that 12-month period. A ""change of control'' includes a 50% or greater change in voting power
immediately following a merger or an acquisition and certain changes in the composition of the Board of
Directors during a thirty-six month period not initiated by our Board of Directors.

Executive Severance Policy.

In October 2002 the Board adopted an Executive Severance Policy that
covers our officers, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. This policy
primarily applies to terminations of employment without cause or resignations for good reason (as such terms
are defined in the policy); this policy does not apply if the Management Continuation Agreements described
above are applicable and does not apply to terminations due to death, disability or retirement. If applicable,
this policy provides for continuation of base salary, exclusive of bonus, for varying periods except as discussed
below. For the Chief Executive Officer, until March 7, 2005, the period was twelve months plus one month for
each year of service as an officer up to a maximum of fifteen months; for senior vice presidents, the period is
nine months plus one month for each year of service as an officer up to a maximum of twelve months; and for
other vice presidents, the period is six months plus one month for each year of service as an officer up to a
maximum of nine months. On March 7, 2005, the Board amended the Executive Severance Plan with respect
to the salary portion of the severance payment to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the President.
The Chief Executive Officer receives 100% of the total of the annual base salary and the executive bonus
based on the target established by the Board for each year. The payment to the President is based on his total
annual base salary, the executive bonus based on the target established by the Board for each year and an
override bonus based on gross margin and the Board-approved plan for each year, with the President receiving
200% of such compensation if his employment was terminated before the end of March 2008 and 100% of
such compensation thereafter. On August 8, 2005, in connection with Mr. Ungaro being appointed the Chief
Executive  Officer  in  addition  to  being  the  President,  the  Executive  Severance  Policy  was  amended  to
eliminate the separate severance payment to the Chief Executive Officer and to provide that the payment
previously payable to the President was for the President and the Chief Executive Officer. This policy also
provides for continued payment of our portion of medical, dental, vision and life insurance benefits, extension
of  a  period  to  exercise  stock  options  if  permitted  by  the  applicable  option  agreement  and  executive
outplacement  services.  To  receive  these  benefits  the  officer  must  provide  us  with  a  general  release  and
continue to comply with his or her confidentiality and other agreements with us. Our obligations under this
policy are unfunded and the Board has the express right to modify or terminate this policy at any time. The
arrangements with Mr. Rottsolk in connection with his resignation effective January 1, 2006, were pursuant to
the Executive Severance Policy as then in effect.

Compensation Agreements with Mr. Ungaro. On March 7, 2005, we entered into a letter agreement
with Mr. Ungaro regarding his appointment as President. Under that agreement, Mr. Ungaro's annual base
salary  was  increased  to  $350,000  effective  March  1,  2005,  he  received  a  one-time  appointment  bonus  of
$300,000 that in part was in lieu of a payment under a 2004 special incentive plan based on product revenue
and gross margin under which we had accrued $88,647 for payment of such 2004 bonus, he is eligible for an
award of 75% of base salary under our executive bonus plan, and he is eligible to receive an override bonus
based on our total gross margin, as the gross margin is reported in our public financial statements. The bonus
is .0035 of the gross margin up to the gross margin target in the plan approved by the Board for such year, and
.006 of gross margin in excess of such approved gross margin. The override bonus is to be paid quarterly, after
filing of the applicable Reports on Forms 10-Q or 10-K with the SEC, with any true-up necessary in the
payment for the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Retention Agreements. On December 20, 2005, our Board of Directors approved retention agreements
with each of three executive officers: Peter J. Ungaro, President and Chief Executive Officer; Brian C. Henry,
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Margaret A. Williams, Senior Vice President. The
agreements provide that if the officer remains employed by us on December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2007,
he or she will receive a retention bonus. The amount of the bonus is equal to, for 2006, 100% of the sum of the
officer's base pay in 2006 plus target bonus assuming 100% of target is reached, and, for 2007, 50% of the sum

17

e
m
e
t
a
t
S
y

o
r
P

of the officer's base pay in 2007 plus target bonus assuming 100% of target is reached. In the event the officer
is terminated without cause or terminates with good reason, as such terms are defined in the agreement,
Mr. Henry and Ms. Williams would receive payment under the retention agreement and, if applicable, a
payment under our Executive Severance Policy, as then in effect; in such event Mr. Ungaro would receive the
higher of the payment under the retention agreement or the Executive Severance Policy, but not payments
under  both.  An  officer  would  not  receive  a  payment  under  the  retention  agreement  if  he  or  she  were
terminated  for  cause,  died,  retired,  terminated  employment  for  other  than  for  good  reason  or  because  of
disability, as such terms are defined in the retention agreement. If there were a change of control, the Board
then would decide whether the retention agreements would be applicable in addition to the Management
Continuation Agreements described above.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The  current  members  of  the  Compensation  Committee  are  Frank  L.  Lederman  (chair),  John  B.
Jones,  Jr.,  Kenneth  W.  Kennedy,  Jr.  Stephen  C.  Kiely  and  Stephen  C.  Richards.  No  member  of  the
Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of Cray Inc. or any of our subsidiaries in 2005 or
formerly.  In  addition,  none  of  our  executive  officers  served  on  the  board  of  directors  or  compensation
committee of any entity whose executive officers included one of our directors.

Report on Executive Compensation for 2005 by the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the
compensation philosophy of Cray Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the ""Company'') and for reviewing on a
periodic basis the competitiveness of the Company's compensation plans and benefits programs to ensure that
these plans and programs serve to attract and retain highly qualified employees, including executive officers, to
motivate  all  employees  to  achieve  the  Company's  business  objectives  and  to  align  the  interests  of  all
employees with the long-term interests of the shareholders.

The Compensation Committee's membership and duties are described above under ""Corporate Govern-

ance Ì The Board of Directors Ì The Committees of the Board Ì Compensation Committee.''

Philosophy

The Company's compensation philosophy is to provide policies, plans and programs designed to attract
and retain the best personnel at all levels to allow it to achieve its goals and maintain its competitive posture.
The Company's executive officer compensation policies are founded on these same principles. Pursuant to this
overall approach:

‚ Compensation  is  based  on  the  level  of  job  responsibility,  individual  performance  and  Company
performance. As employees assume greater levels of responsibility, an increasing proportion of their
pay is linked to Company performance and shareholder return.

‚ To attract and retain a highly skilled work force, the Company must remain competitive with the pay
of other employers that compete with it for talent. In all markets the Company faces competition for its
employees from many sources, often including technology companies with far greater resources. This
competitive pressure has increased the need to improve overall compensation, even in the light of
disappointing  Company  performance  in  the  last  two  years.  To  provide  stability,  the  Company  has
provided retention incentives where appropriate.

‚ The Company seeks to align the interests of its employees to the long-term interests of the shareholders
through equity incentives, principally with stock options and on a more limited basis through restricted
stock grants.

18

 
General Compensation Program

In furtherance of this philosophy, the Company's compensation program for employees generally has the

following elements:

Salaries

The Company's approach is to have base salaries at approximately the 50% median for the job title and
responsibility, with additional compensation coming from cash bonus and long-term equity incentives. Base
salaries are reviewed annually based on Company and individual performance for the previous year, taking into
account any adjustments in job responsibility during the year. In this process, both internal and external
relative parity among employees are considered as is published compensation information, particularly the
Radford Surveys, and competitive information obtained in connection with new employee hires and, when
possible, from departing employees.

Cash Bonuses

Employees not on a commission plan participate in the Company's variable pay program. Variable pay
cash bonus goals are expressed as a percentage of base salary and are established each year, with levels of
bonuses increasing based on job responsibilities. The variable pay bonuses have been based both on Company
performance and on achievement of individual goals established each year, and generally are paid after the
year has been completed. In 2005, as in previous years, a prerequisite for payment of any variable pay cash
bonus was annual net operating income, and thus no variable pay bonuses were paid for 2005 to any employee.
The Committee is reviewing the continuation of this requirement in 2006 for employees, especially those who
do not have direct responsibility for overall Company financial performance.

Equity Incentives

Stock Options. Long-term equity incentives generally have taken the form of ten-year stock options
with exercise prices set at 100% of fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant,
thus providing value to the optionee only if the value of the Company's common stock appreciates. Through
2005, our general approach was to grant stock options to new employees as of their first date of employment.
The Company also has had a broad annual grant of options to nearly all employees, with the number of options
in individual cases based on the employee's performance and job responsibility, generally measured by salary
range. While previous option grants had four-year vesting periods, with 25% of the options vesting after one
year and the balance vesting over the next 36 months, stock options granted in 2005 generally vested on or
before December 31, 2005. In addition, in 2005 the Board approved immediate vesting of all outstanding
options held by employees with an exercise price of $1.47 per share or higher. In taking this action the Board
balanced the retentive value of longer-term vesting programs against employee morale and the perception of
option values, particularly in light of the decline in market value of the Company's common stock and new
accounting rules requiring the deemed value of vesting options to be recorded as a compensation expense on
the Company's financial statements.

December  Option  Grant  and  Repricing.

In  2005,  the  general  grant  of  stock  options  to  employees
occurred in December. Given the performance of the Company, and as no variable pay cash bonuses had been
paid for 2004 or would be payable for 2005, and in recognition that the market price for the Company's
common stock was at levels substantially below the exercise price for many of the outstanding options held by
employees, which substantially negated the incentive value of those options, the Compensation Committee
concurred with management's recommendation that a larger equity grant than in recent years was appropriate
to  increase  morale  and  to  further  align  employees'  interests  with  shareholders'  interests.  The  Company,
however, did not have sufficient options available for grant under its existing stock option plans to accomplish
these goals fully. The Company's 2003 stock option plan and 2004 long-term equity compensation plan did not
permit repricing of options granted under those plans, although earlier option plans permitted option repricing.
The Board of Directors, including the Compensation Committee, while generally not favoring repricing of
outstanding stock options, concluded that repricing of certain outstanding options where permitted was the

19

 
only way of fully achieving the goals of the broad equity grant. As a result, the Board of Directors, upon the
recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved a grant of 1,237,060 new options with ten-year
terms, immediate vesting and an exercise price of $1.49 per share, the fair market value of the Company's
common stock, and it lowered the exercise price of 1,274,260 outstanding options with exercise prices above
$3.50 per share to $1.49 per share without changing other terms of these existing options. The Company used
option valuation methodology to equalize as much as possible the value of a repriced option with a shorter life
to a new grant of a ten-year option. This is the only time that the Company has repriced outstanding options.
For 2006, the Compensation Committee is reviewing with the Company the general grant of options to new
employees, the parameters of annual grants and the appropriate vesting period of new options.

Restricted Stock.

In the December 2005 grant, the Board approved the grant of 1,815,000 shares of
restricted stock, vesting on June 30, 2007. This grant was limited to certain key managers and executive
officers, as described more fully below under ""Executive Officer Compensation.'' The grant of restricted stock
was to provide both equity and retention incentives.

Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan. The  Company  also  provides  all  employees  with  the  opportunity  to
purchase shares of its common stock under an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (""ESPP'') qualified under
Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Participants may contribute from $50 per month up to 15% of
their gross pay and purchase shares in three-month offering periods. Through December 15, 2005, the ESPP
permitted participants to purchase shares at the lower of 85% of the market value of the Company's common
stock at the beginning of each offering period or 100% of the market value at the end of each offering period,
thus rewarding participants if the market price generally increased during the period. Because of the change in
the  accounting  rules  for  equity  compensation,  the  Company's  shareholders  approved  amendments  to  the
ESPP changing the purchase price formula for purchases in 2006 to 95% of the market value of the common
stock at the end of each offering period.

Retirement Plan

The Company's only retirement plan for all U.S. employees, including executive officers, is a qualified
401(k) plan under which employees may contribute a portion of their salary on a pre-tax basis. Contributions
in  2005  were  limited  to  $14,000  annually,  with  a  limit  of  up  to  $18,000  for  employees  age  50  or  over.
Employees may invest in a limited number of mutual funds, and may not use voluntary contributions to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Until 2004, the Company matched employee contributions
at a 25% rate, with half of the match paid in cash on a quarterly basis during the year and the balance payable
after the end of the year in cash and/or Company common stock. The remaining match usually has been paid
in  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock.  There  are  no  restrictions,  other  than  those  imposed  by  the
securities laws regarding insider trading, on employees transferring the value of the Company's common stock
in their accounts to other permitted investments. In 2005, the Company ceased its matching contribution for
the second half of the year. The Company intends to reinstate a form of matching contribution when overall
Company performance improves.

Benefits

The Company believes its benefits plans provide an important element to overall employee compensation.
The Company has several benefit plans available on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees in the United
States, including group medical, dental and vision plans, life insurance, long-term care, short and long-term
disability, supplemental income protection, a retiree medical plan, flexible spending accounts for health care
and dependent care, an employee assistance plan and travel assistance.

The foregoing describes generally the Company's compensation program for its employees in the United
States.  Subject  to  local  laws  and  practices,  the  Company  attempts  to  provide  the  same  or  substantially
equivalent programs and benefits for its employees located in other countries.

Executive Officer Compensation

The elements of executive officer compensation follow the general compensation elements described
above. Executive officers participate in the ESPP, 401(k) plan and benefits plans on the same basis as all
U.S.  employees.  Except  as  described  below  with  respect  to  an  executive  severance  policy,  management
continuation  agreements  and  certain  retention  agreements,  the  Company  provides  no  deferred  or  special
compensation  or  retirement  plans  and  no  perquisites  (other  than  five  reserved  parking  places  at  the
Company's Seattle, Washington, headquarters) for executive officers.

For compensation purposes, the Company considers as executive officers the Chief Executive Officer and
those officers who are responsible for a principal business unit or who perform a policy-making function and
who report to the Chief Executive Officer. The Company currently has identified, in addition to the Chief
Executive Officer, six officers as executive officers. The Compensation Committee determines an annual
compensation plan for the executive officers, other than for the Chief Executive Officer, after soliciting the
recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, and recommends the compensation of the Chief Executive
Officer to the full Board. The ""Summary Compensation Table'' above sets forth the compensation for the last
three fiscal years for the two individuals who served as Chief Executive Officer in 2005, for the next four most
highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of 2005 and for one
individual who would have been one of the four most highly compensated executive officers but for the fact he
was not serving as an executive officer at the end of 2005.

Base Salary

In making individual base salary decisions for executive officers, the Committee considers each officer's
duties, the quality of the officer's performance, the officer's potential, market compensation practices, the
contribution the officer has made to our overall performance, the Company's financial status and salary levels
in comparable high technology companies. The Committee also compares the salary of each officer with other
officers' salaries, taking into account the number of years employed by the Company, the possibility of future
promotions and the extent and frequency of prior salary adjustments. As with our employees generally, base
salaries are generally established at median levels with a higher percentage of total compensation being at risk
through the management cash bonus program and equity incentives.

In 2005, the Company's senior management team was significantly restructured, including promoting
Peter J. Ungaro first to President and later to Chief Executive Officer, and adding Margaret A. Williams,
Brian C. Henry, Steven L. Scott and Jan C. Silverman to key executive officer positions. While each hire was
negotiated separately, principal consideration was given to providing competitive compensation in order to
attract them to come and to stay with the Company while attempting to stay within the Company's general
compensation structure, including overall compensation and the role of base salary, cash bonuses and long-
term equity incentives.

Cash Bonuses

Our executive bonus plan is a material element of the annual compensation program for our executive
officers. The Company also includes other officers in this plan, except for those with sales functions who are
on a sales commission plan. The 2005 executive bonus plan provided for bonuses as a percentage of salary
based on our achieving certain specified goals regarding net operating income (as adjusted for unplanned
significant costs and adjustments) and, with respect to each participant, meeting certain individual perform-
ance goals. Target bonuses for executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, range from 40% to
50% of base salary. Depending on Company performance, an individual could earn up to 200% of target, with
the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  subject  to  Committee  concurrence,  authorized  to  recommend  final  bonuses
ranging from 0% to 125% based on individual performance. Although Company performance and individual
goals each counted for 50% of the total possible bonus in 2005, the Company had to reach a certain level of net
operating income for any bonus to be paid. For 2005, given the Company's financial results for the year, the
Compensation Committee granted no bonuses to executive officers or other participants under this plan. The
bonus to Mr. Johnson for 2005 was for his contributions in accepting the position of Chief Financial Officer on

21

 
t
n
e
m
e
t
a
t
S
y
x
o
r
P

an interim basis in the fall of 2004 and service as such during the first five months in 2005 in addition to his
other responsibilities. In attracting Mr. Henry to become our Chief Financial Officer, and as specified in his
offer letter, the Company agreed that half his 2005 bonus would be based on achieving specific key goals
without being dependent on the Company reaching a level of operating income.

 As noted earlier, the Company significantly revamped its senior management team in 2005. In order to attract
these new executives to new positions with the Company, and to keep within the Company's general salary
structure, the Company provided appointment or hiring bonuses that, except for Mr. Ungaro, vested over
negotiated periods and were repayable if the executive left the Company before vesting. The appointment and
hiring bonuses granted to the named executive officers are reflected on the ""Summary Compensation Table''
above.

Equity

In determining the amount of equity compensation to be awarded to executive officers in a fiscal year, the
Compensation Committee considers the current stock ownership of the officer, relevant industry experience,
the  impact  of  the  officer's  contribution,  the  number  of  years  each  officer  has  been  employed  by  us,  the
possibility of future promotions, the extent and frequency of prior option grants, the officer's unvested stock
option position and the range of outstanding options with exercise prices below or near the current market
price for the Company's common stock. In prior years, as with options granted to all employees described
above, options were granted to executive officers at fair market value upon grant and with four-year vesting
periods. In May 2005, stock options were granted to executive officers upon consideration of these factors. In
providing  the  May  2005  grants,  the  Committee  also  was  concerned  about  the  relatively  low  level  of  the
Company's  common  stock  market  price.  It  also  was  considering  the  impact  of  the  new  accounting  rule
requiring the expensing of vesting stock options on the financial statements as compensation expense. To
accommodate these concerns, and to provide both retention and financial incentives, the stock options granted
in  May  2005  vested  on  December  31,  2005,  but  with  exercise  prices  set  above  the  market  price  for  the
Company's common stock on the date of grant, which was $1.47 per share, with 25% of each option granted
having exercise prices of $2.00, $2.50, $3.00 and $3.50 per share, respectively. Separately, all executive officers
also had the vesting of existing options accelerated in 2005 on the same basis as all employees, as described
above under ""General Compensation Program Ì Equity Incentives Ì Stock Options.''

In the fall of 2005, the Compensation Committee worked with the senior management team for a broad
grant of stock options to all employees, which occurred in December 2005. The background of the December
2005 grant of stock options and repricing of certain outstanding options is described above under ""General
Compensation Program Ì Equity Incentives Ì December Option Grant and Repricing.'' The Compensation
Committee decided to include executive officers in this grant in addition to the May 2005 grant for several
reasons, including recognition of improvements in the Company's financial performance in the second half,
particularly reduction of operating expenses; increasing their equity participation in the Company, further
aligning their interests with the shareholders for long-term growth; and retaining parity among the executive
officers in light of equity grants to new officers hired during the year where grants were given in consideration
of competitive offers. Of the 1,237,060 options granted in December 2005, none were issued to executive
officers. Of the 1,274,260 options that were repriced, an aggregate of 423,993 repriced options were held by
individuals who are, or who received the options when they were, executive officers, as set forth on the ""Ten-
Year Option Repricing Table'' above.

As part of the December 2005 grant, the Compensation Committee also approved the grant of restricted
stock to certain executive officers and key managers, with 1,410,000 of the total of 1,815,000 restricted shares
issued  to  executive  officers;  both  these  figures  exclude  150,000  restricted  shares  previously  granted  to
Mr. Silverman in connection with his joining the Company. The restrictions on transfer lapse on June 30,
2007; if prior to that date a recipient is terminated for cause or terminates without good reason, as those terms
are defined in the restricted stock grant agreement, the officer forfeits those restricted shares. These grants of
restricted stock were to increase each recipient's ownership of the Company's common stock, thereby aligning
their interests with shareholder interests, and with the vesting schedule to provide a retention incentive. The

22

restricted stock grants to named executive officers are reflected on the ""Summary Compensation Table''
above and are described in footnote 2 to that table.

Executive Severance Policy. The Board of Directors has had an executive severance policy in effect
since October 2002 that covers specified officers, including the Company's executive officers, in order to
provide an incentive for individuals to assume key leadership positions. The policy sets forth certain payments
and benefits to be provided when applicable, but does not restrict the Company's ability to terminate the
employment of any covered officer. This policy applies if the officer's employment is terminated other than for
cause, death, disability, retirement or resignation other than for good reason (as such terms are defined in the
policy); this policy does not apply if the management continuation agreements described below are applicable.
The terms of the executive severance policy are described more fully under ""Management Agreements and
Policies''  above.  Changes  in  the  policy  in  2005  with  respect  to  Mr.  Rottsolk  and  Mr.  Ungaro,  as  Chief
Executive Officers, are described under ""Chief Executive Officers'' below. Obligations under this policy are
funded out of the Company's general assets. The Company has the authority to amend or discontinue the
executive severance policy, and the Chief Executive Officer has the authority to change the officers to whom
the policy applies at any time; prior to termination of employment, no officer has any vested rights under this
policy. Mr. Rottsolk is receiving payments and benefits pursuant to this policy, as described in footnote 5 to
the ""Summary Compensation Table'' above.

Management Continuation Agreements. We have entered into management continuation agreements
with certain of our officers, including our current executive officers named in the ""Summary Compensation
Table'' above. Pursuant to these agreements, each such officer is eligible to receive, in the event that his or her
employment is terminated within three years following a change of control, other than for just cause, death,
disability, retirement or resignation other than for good reason, as such terms are defined in the agreement, an
amount equal to two times his or her annual cash compensation, continuation of health benefits and group
term life insurance for twenty-four months thereafter and the acceleration of vesting for all options held. The
purpose of these agreements is to ensure the continuity of management and to foster objectivity in the face of
potentially distracting circumstances arising from the possibility of a change of control of the Company. We
are  not  aware  of  any  such  change  of  control  now  being  contemplated.  The  terms  of  the  Management
Continuation Agreements are described more fully under ""Management Agreements and Policies'' above.

Base Salary and Cash Bonus

The Committee recommends to the Board the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, including
base salary, bonus plan and equity incentives. In March 2005, the Board restructured the Company's senior
management, with Mr. Ungaro becoming President and responsible for all of the Company's functions except
finance,  legal  and  government  relations,  and  Mr.  Rottsolk  continuing  as  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive
Officer. In connection with this change, Mr. Ungaro's base salary was increased from $300,000 to $350,000,
he received a one-time appointment bonus of $300,000, and his target percentage in the executive bonus plan
was increased from 50% to 75% of base salary. The $300,000 appointment bonus in part was in lieu of a
payment under a 2004 special incentive plan based on product revenue and gross margin under which the
Company had accrued $88,647 for payment. Mr. Ungaro was also provided a special override bonus for 2005
based on total gross margin as reported in our public financial statements in recognition that the Company's
gross margin had been deteriorating in recent years. In recognition of the uncertainty that such a restructure
creates, the Compensation Committee also recommended, and the Board approved, amending the executive
severance plan for Mr. Rottsolk and Mr. Ungaro to provide for a payment based on total cash compensation
rather than on base salary only. For Mr. Rottsolk, the severance plan payment was set at 100% of the total of
base salary and target bonus under the management bonus plan; for Mr. Ungaro, the severance plan payment
was set at 200% of the total of base salary, target bonus under the management plan and target bonus under
the override bonus through March 2008 and 100% of the total of such elements thereafter. At the same time,
Mr. Rottsolk's annual base salary was increased from $350,000 to $375,000. The Compensation Committee
and Board believed these increases and changes were necessary and appropriate in order to attract Mr. Ungaro
to assume these expanded responsibilities and to reflect that Mr. Ungaro reported to Mr. Rottsolk.

In August 2005, Mr. Ungaro assumed the responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer while continuing to

serve as President. There were no changes to his compensation in connection with that change.

Equity

In May 2005, as recommended by the Committee and approved by the Board, Mr. Rottsolk received an
option grant for 200,000 shares, and Mr. Ungaro received an option grant for 700,000 shares, each with per
share exercise prices above the then current market price for the Company's common stock at the time and on
the  same  other  terms  for  all  executive  officers,  as  described  above.  The  size  of  the  grants  reflected  the
Compensation  Committee's  judgment  as  to  future  contributions  to  the  Company  and  was  to  provide  a
substantial level of equity incentive in alignment with shareholders' interests. As with all other employees and
executive officers, Mr. Rottsolk and Mr. Ungaro had the vesting of outstanding options accelerated, also as
described earlier. As part of the December equity grant, Mr. Ungaro received a grant of 600,000 shares of
restricted stock vesting on June 30, 2007, and on the same terms as restricted stock grants to other executives
and key managers described above. The size of the grant reflected recognition of Mr. Ungaro's leadership role
in assembling a restructured senior management team and reducing operating expenses and that Mr. Ungaro's
stock  options  have  exercise  prices  above  the  current  market  prices  for  the  Company's  common  stock,
including the options described above and options granted in 2003 for 500,000 shares at $9.00 per share. The
grant was also designed to provide a strong retention incentive.

Retention Agreements

In addition to the salary and equity compensation described above, the Board of Directors wanted to
provide a significant retention incentive for Mr. Ungaro and two other new executive officers with important
roles, Mr. Henry as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Ms. Williams as Senior Vice
President responsible for all research and development activities. In December 2005, the Board approved and
the Company entered into separate retention agreements with each of these three executive officers providing
financial  incentives  if  the  officer  remained  employed  by  the  Company  at  December  31,  2006,  and  at
December 31, 2007. These agreements reflected the awareness that each of these individuals are well known
and highly sought, that they each have contributed significantly to the Company in their new roles in the
relatively brief period they have been with the Company and that the loss of any of these individuals at this
time particularly would materially adversely affect the Company. The terms of the retention agreements are
described under ""Management Agreement and Policies'' above.

Section 162(m)

Section  162(m)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  limits  to  $1  million  per  person  the  amount  that  the
Company may deduct for compensation paid to any of its most highly compensated officers in any year. This
limitation does not apply, however, to ""performance-based'' compensation, as defined under the Federal tax
laws. Stock options and annual incentive awards generally qualify as ""performance-based'' compensation, and
are, therefore, fully deductible.

The Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to the Company and its executive officers when
reviewing executive compensation programs. The deductibility of some types of compensation payments can
depend upon the timing of an executive's vesting or exercise of previously granted rights. Interpretations of
and changes in applicable tax laws and regulations, as well as other factors beyond the Committee's control,
also can affect deductibility of compensation.

The  Committee  will  continue  to  assess  alternatives  for  preserving  the  deductibility  of  compensation
payments and benefits. However, the Committee will not necessarily seek to limit executive compensation to
amounts deductible under Section 162(m), since the Committee wishes to maintain the flexibility to structure
the Company's compensation programs in ways that best promote the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.

24

 
Conclusion

The Committee and the Board believe that the caliber and motivation of all our employees, and especially
our  executive  leadership,  are  essential  to  the  Company's  performance.  We  believe  our  management
compensation programs contribute to the Company's ability to differentiate our performance from others in
the marketplace. We will continue to evolve and administer our compensation program in a manner that we
believe will be in shareholders' interests and worthy of shareholder support.

Legal Proceedings and Indemnification

We and several of our current and former officers and directors have been named as defendants in a
securities  class  action  lawsuit  filed  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  Western  District  of  Washington.
Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of purchasers of our securities from October 23, 2002, through May 9, 2005.
The consolidated complaint alleges federal securities law violations in connection with the issuance of various
public statements. In addition, shareholder derivative lawsuits which purport to be brought on our behalf and
assert allegations substantially similar to those asserted in the class action complaint, as well as allegations of
breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  abuse  of  control,  gross  mismanagement,  waste  of  corporate  assets  and  unjust
enrichment, have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and in the
Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County against members of our Board of Directors,
including all nominees for the Directors identified below under ""Discussion Of Proposals Recommended By
The Board Ì Proposal 1: To Elect Eight Directors For One-Year Terms,'' and certain current and former
officers and former directors. Under the indemnification provisions contained in our Bylaws, we are required to
pay for our current and former directors, and the Board has determined that we will pay for our current and
former officers, all the expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by these current and former officers and
directors, in defending against these actions. Each of these individuals has provided an undertaking to repay all
amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be so indemnified.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms

On April 11, 2005, Deloitte & Touche LLP (""D&T'') informed the Chairman of our Audit Committee
that D&T would not stand for re-election as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2005. D&T had been our independent auditors since 1987. D&T continued to be
engaged to provide its attestation report on management's assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting required by Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K for filing in an amendment to our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and to review our interim financial information to be
included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our first quarter ended March 31, 2005.

D&T  completed  its  services  for  us  with  the  filing  on  May  10,  2005,  of  our  Quarterly  Report  on

Form 10-Q for our first quarter ended March 31, 2005.

We have been informed by D&T that its decision not to stand for re-election was not the result of any
disagreements between us and D&T on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or audit scope or procedures.

The audit reports of D&T on our financial statements for fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and
2003,  contained  no  adverse  opinion  or  disclaimer  of  opinion,  and  were  not  qualified  or  modified  as  to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. As set forth under Item 9A of our Form 10-K/A filed with
the SEC on May 3, 2005, D&T's report on internal control over financial reporting disclaimed an opinion on
management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting because of a
scope limitation and expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting because of material weaknesses and the effects of the scope limitation. We received an unqualified
audit  report  from  D&T  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  contained  in  our  Annual  Report  on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

During the period from January 1, 2003, through May 10, 2005, when D&T completed its services, there
were no disagreements between us and D&T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure which, if not resolved to D&T's satisfaction, would have
caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.

During the period from January 1, 2003, through May 10, 2005, there were no reportable events as

defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except as follows:

‚ In  connection  with  the  performance  of  its  audit  of  our  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2003, D&T reported to our Audit Committee that a reportable condition existed with
respect to the lack of policies and procedures relating to accounting for non-revenue related contracts
with third parties, specifically contracts entered into without the knowledge of and/or review by our
accounting department to properly assess and account for the related contract;

‚ With respect to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described under

Item 9A of our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2005; and

‚ With respect to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described under

Item 9A of our Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 3, 2005.

On  June  30,  2005,  our  Audit  Committee  engaged  the  firm  of  Peterson  Sullivan  PLLC  of  Seattle,

Washington, to act as our independent registered public accounting firm.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, and 2004 and the interim period to June 30, 2005, we
did  not  consult  with  Peterson  Sullivan  PLLC  for  any  services,  including  either:  (i)  the  application  of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement
or a reportable event.

LLP in 2004 and 2005:

‚ Consultations and consents related to SEC filings and registrations statements,

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

All audit, tax and other services to be performed for us by Peterson Sullivan PLLC from June 30, 2005,
and, prior to May 10, 2005, by Deloitte & Touche LLP, must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The
Audit Committee reviews the description of the services and an estimate of the anticipated costs of performing
those services. Services not previously approved cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Pre-
approval usually is granted at regularly scheduled meetings. If unanticipated items arise between meetings of
the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee has delegated approval authority to the Chairman of the Audit
Committee, in which case the Chairman communicates such pre-approvals to the full Committee at its next
meeting. During 2005, all services performed by Peterson Sullivan PLLC and Deloitte & Touche LLP were
pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.

Report on the 2005 Financial Statements and Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms by the
Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report:

The management of Cray Inc. (the ""Company'') has the responsibility for the financial statements and
for their integrity and objectivity. To help fulfill this responsibility, management maintains a system of internal
controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss or unauthorized use
and  that  transactions  are  executed  in  accordance  with  management's  authorizations  and  are  reflected
accurately in our records. The Audit Committee oversees the fulfillment by management of its responsibilities
over financial controls and the preparation of the financial statements. The Audit Committee has reviewed the
Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and discussed such
statements with management and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Peterson
Sullivan  PLLC,  including  discussions  concerning  the  quality  of  accounting  principles,  reasonableness  of
significant judgments and disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee also has discussed with the Company's independent auditors such matters relating
to the performance of the audit as are required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61
(Communications with Audit and Finance Committees, as amended). Additionally, the Audit Committee has
discussed with the independent auditors their independence with respect to the Company and considered
whether their potential provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining that independence. In
this consideration, the Audit Committee reviewed the fees billed by the independent auditors as disclosed
above.  The  Company  has  received  the  written  disclosures  and  the  letter  from  the  independent  auditors
required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee has recommended to
the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DISCUSSION OF PROPOSALS RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD

Proposal 1: To Elect Eight Directors For One-Year Terms

Our Bylaws fix the number of members of our Board at eight. Eight directors presently serve on our
Board of Directors for terms ending at the 2006 Annual Meeting. The Board has nominated Ms. Narodick and
Messrs. Jones, Kennedy, Kiely, Lederman, Regis, Richards and Ungaro for reelection to the Board, each to
hold office until the Annual Meeting in 2007.

We know of no reason why any nominee may be unable to serve as a director. If any nominee becomes
unable to serve, your proxy may vote for another nominee proposed by the Board, or the Board may reduce the
number of directors to be elected. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her
term, or the Board increases the number of directors, the Board may fill the vacancy.

Each  nominee  is  a  defendant  in  certain  derivative  lawsuits  recently  filed  in  federal  and  state  courts
located  in  Seattle,  Washington,  purportedly  on  our  behalf.  See  ""Corporate  Governance Ì Litigation  and
Indemnification'' above.

Proposal 2: To Approve an Amendment to Our Restated Articles of Incorporation to Effect a One-for-
Four Reverse Stock Split of all Outstanding and Authorized Shares of Our Common Stock

Introduction

We propose to amend our Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-four reverse stock split of
all  outstanding  and  authorized  shares  of  our  common  stock.  The  Board  of  Directors  reserves  the  right,
notwithstanding shareholder approval, and without further action by the shareholders, to abandon or to delay
the reverse stock split, if at any time prior to the filing of the amendment it determines, in its sole discretion,
that the reverse stock split would not be in the best interests of our shareholders.

The text that will be included in the Articles of Amendment to effect the one-for-four reverse stock split

is as follows:

P
r
o
x
y
S
t
a
t
e
m
e
n
t

""As of the beginning of the first business day (the ""Effective Date'') after the filing of these Articles
of Amendment every four issued and outstanding and authorized shares of the Corporation's Common
Stock automatically shall be combined and reconstituted into one share of Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Corporation, thereby giving effect to a one-for-four reverse stock split without
further action of any kind (the ""Reverse Stock Split''). Each holder of a certificate or certificates that
immediately  prior  to  the  Effective  Date  represented  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock  shall  be
entitled to receive, upon surrender of such certificates to the Corporation for cancellation, a certificate or
certificates representing the number of whole shares (rounded down to the nearest whole shares) of
Common Stock held by such holder on the Effective Date after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in the Reverse Stock Split; instead, shareholders
who would otherwise be entitled to fractional shares will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fraction
based  upon  the  reported  closing  price  of  the  Corporation's  Common  Stock  on  the  trading  date
immediately  before  the  Effective  Date.  No  other  exchange,  reclassification  or  cancellation  of  issued
shares shall be effected by this Amendment.''

Upon this amendment becoming effective, and if Proposal 3 regarding an increase in the number of
authorized shares of common stock is not approved by the shareholders, the number of authorized shares of
common stock would decrease from the current 150,000,000 shares to 37,500,000 shares of common stock. If
both this amendment and Proposal 3 become effective, the number of authorized shares of common stock
would be 75,000,000 shares of common stock. If this amendment does not become effective and if Proposal 3
does,  then  we  would  have  300,000,000  shares  of  authorized  common  stock.  See  the  discussion  under
""Proposal 3: To Approve an Amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to Increase the Number of
Authorized Shares from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares, on a pre-split basis'' below.

Examples. As of the effective date of the reverse stock split, all shareholders will own a proportionally
reduced number of shares of common stock, excluding any fractional shares cancelled in exchange for cash.
For example, if a shareholder owned 1,000 shares of common stock immediately prior to the effective date,
then the shareholder would own 250 shares of common stock as of the effective date, which reflects the same
proportional ownership interest in our shares of common stock because all shareholders would have the same

33

e

reduction. As a further example, if a person held a stock option or warrant for 1,000 shares with an exercise
price of $2.50 per share immediately prior to the effective date, the person would hold an option or warrant for
250 shares with an exercise price of $10.00 per share as of the effective date; in each case, however, the holder
of the option or warrant must spend $2,500 to exercise the option or warrant in full. See ""Principal Effects of a
Reverse Stock Split Ì Common Stock'' below. As discussed below under ""Reasons For a Reverse Stock
Split,'' we expect the per share market price for our common stock to increase in approximate proportion to
the reverse split, although there can be assurance that it would do so.

Reasons For A Reverse Stock Split

As  of  April  17,  2006,  our  total  market  value  was  approximately  $139.46  million  and  we  had
91,750,299 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On such date, the closing price for our common
stock on Nasdaq was $1.52 per share. We believe that a reverse stock split may be desirable because the
increased market price of our common stock expected as a result of implementing a reverse stock split will
encourage investor interest and trading in our common stock and improve the marketability and liquidity of
our common stock. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage
houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing
in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their
customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced
stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers' commissions on low-priced stocks
generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the
current average price per share of our common stock can result in individual shareholders paying transaction
costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were
substantially higher. We recognize that the liquidity of our common stock may be adversely affected by a
reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split.
However, from January 1, 2005, through March 1, 2006, our daily trading volume, as reported by Nasdaq, has
averaged  over  1,200,000  shares,  and  we  believe  that  there  will  be  sufficient  post-split  shares  to  provide
adequate liquidity for our shareholders. The Board of Directors believes that the anticipated higher market
price may reduce, to some extent, the negative effects on the liquidity and marketability of the common stock
inherent in some of the policies and practices of institutional investors and brokerage houses described above.

Our common stock has been listed on Nasdaq since January 20, 1998. Nasdaq's rules require that we
comply with certain maintenance standards to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, including a minimum closing
bid price of $1.00 per share. Because our current stock price is above $1.00 per share, we do not believe that
we currently are at substantial risk of non-compliance with this maintenance requirement. Our common stock,
however, closed below $1.00 per share for 19 consecutive days in September and October 2005, and it is
possible that the market price for our common stock could decline again to such levels. An increased stock
price resulting from a reverse stock split would reduce the potential risk that our common stock could fall
below the Nasdaq minimum closing bid requirement.

We cannot predict, however, whether a reverse stock split would achieve the desired results. The price per
share of our common stock is also a function of our financial performance and other factors, some of which
may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the closing
bid price of our common stock after a reverse stock split would increase in an amount proportionate to the
decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares, or would increase at all, or that any increase can be
sustained for a prolonged period of time.

Principal Effects of a Reverse Stock Split

Common Stock

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and we are subject
to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed reverse stock split will not
affect the registration of the common stock under the Exchange Act. If any proposed reverse stock split is
implemented, our common stock will continue to be reported on the Nasdaq National Market under the

34

 
P
r
o
x
y
S
t
a
t
e
m
e
n
t

symbol ""CRAY,'' although Nasdaq would add the letter ""D'' to the end of our trading symbol for a period of
at least 20 trading days to indicate that the reverse stock split has occurred.

After  the  effective  date  of  a  reverse  stock  split,  each  shareholder  will  own  a  proportionally  reduced
number of shares of our common stock, as set forth in the examples above. The reverse stock split will affect
all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder's percentage ownership interests in us,
except to the extent that a reverse stock split results in any of our shareholders owning a fractional share as
described below. Proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our common
stock will not be affected by a reverse stock split other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of
fractional shares. For example, shareholders are not currently entitled to cumulative voting rights and will not
be entitled to such rights following the reverse stock split. Further, the number of shareholders of record will
not be affected by a reverse stock split except to the extent that any shareholder holds only a fractional share
interest and receives cash for such interest after a reverse stock split, as discussed below.

A reverse stock split will result in some shareholders Ì those currently owning less than 400 shares Ì
owning ""odd-lots'' of less than 100 shares of our common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of
transactions in odd-lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions on ""round-lots'' of even
multiples of 100 shares.

The proposed reverse stock split would change the number of authorized shares of common stock, as
designated by our Restated Articles of Incorporation, from 150,000,000 shares to 37,500,000 shares. However,
if Proposal 3 also is approved, then after giving effect to the reverse stock split the number of authorized shares
of common stock would be 75,000,000 shares.

The proposed reverse stock split is not a first step in a ""going-private'' transaction.

For  illustrative  purposes,  the  following  table,  which  is  based  on  91,750,299  shares  of  common  stock
outstanding and 48,227,849 shares of common stock reserved for issuance as of April  17, 2006, approximates
the effect on our common stock of the proposed one-for-four reverse stock split, assuming Proposal 4 to
approve  the  2006  Long-Term  Equity  Compensation  Plan  is  approved  by  the  shareholders,  and  whether
Proposal  3  to  increase  the  authorized  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  is  or  is  not  approved  by  the
shareholders.

Options, Warrants, Convertible Notes And Other Securities

In addition, all outstanding options, warrants, convertible notes and other securities entitling their holders
to purchase shares of our common stock would be adjusted as a result of any reverse stock split, as required by
the terms of these securities. In particular, the exchange ratio for each instrument would be reduced, and the
exercise price per share, if applicable, would be increased, in accordance with the terms of each instrument
and based on the one-for-four ratio of the reverse stock split, as set forth in the above example. Also, the
number  of  shares  reserved  for  issuance  under  the  existing  employee  stock  option  plans,  warrant  and
convertible notes would be reduced proportionally based on the one-for-four ratio of the reverse stock split.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the proposed reverse stock split.
Instead, shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number
of  shares  not  evenly  divisible  by  the  one-for-four  ratio,  upon  surrender  to  the  exchange  agent  of  such
certificates representing such fractional shares, will be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the
product  obtained  by  multiplying  (i)  the  closing  sales  price  of  our  common  stock  on  the  trading  date
immediately preceding the effective date of the reverse stock split as reported on Nasdaq by (ii) the number
of shares of our common stock held by such shareholder that would otherwise have been exchanged for such
fractional share interest.

Implementation And Exchange Of Stock Certificates

If our shareholders approve the proposal and our Board of Directors decides to effectuate a reverse stock
split, we will file an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of
Washington. The reverse stock split will become effective at the time specified in the amendment Ì  the next
business day after the filing of the amendment Ì which we refer to as the effective date.

As of the effective date of the reverse stock split, each certificate representing shares of our common
stock before the reverse stock split would be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the
reduced number of shares of our common stock resulting from the reverse stock split, except that holders of
unexchanged shares would not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions payable by us after
the effective date until they surrender their old stock certificates for exchange. All shares underlying options,
warrants, convertible notes and other securities would also be automatically adjusted on the effective date.

Our transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services LLC, would act as the exchange agent for purposes of
implementing the exchange of stock certificates. As soon as practicable after the effective date, shareholders
and  holders  of  securities  convertible  into  or  exercisable  for  our  common  stock  would  be  notified  of  the
effectiveness of the reverse stock split. Shareholders of record would receive a letter of transmittal requesting
them to surrender their old stock certificates for new stock certificates, which will bear a different CUSIP
number, reflecting the adjusted number of shares as a result of the reverse stock split. Persons who hold their
shares in brokerage accounts or ""street name'' would not be required to take any further action to effect the
exchange of their shares. No new certificates would be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has
surrendered  any  outstanding  certificates  together  with  the  properly  completed  and  executed  letter  of
transmittal to the exchange agent. Until surrender, each certificate representing shares before the reverse
stock split would continue to be valid and would represent the adjusted number of shares based on the ratio of
the  reverse  stock  split.  Shareholders  should  not  destroy  any  stock  certificate  and  should  not  submit  any
certificates until they receive a letter of transmittal.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of material United States federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock
split. It does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences. It applies to you only if
you held pre-reverse stock split common stock shares and post-reverse stock split common stock shares as
capital assets for tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders
subject to special rules, such as (i) a dealer in securities or currencies, (ii) a trader in securities that elects to
use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings, (iii) a bank, (iv) a life insurance
company, (v) a tax-exempt organization, (vi) a person that owns common stock shares that are a hedge or
that are hedged against interest rate risks, (vii) a person that owns common stock shares as part of a straddle
or conversion transaction for tax purposes, (viii) a foreign person, or (ix) a person whose functional currency
for  tax  purposes  is  not  the  U.S.  dollar.  This  section  is  based  on  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as
amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published
rulings  and  court  decisions,  all  as  currently  in  effect,  all  of  which  are  subject  to  change,  possibly  on  a
retroactive basis.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES OF
A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTER-
NAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

Tax Consequences To Common Shareholders

This  discussion  applies  only  to  United  States  holders. A  United  States  holder,  as  used  herein,  is  a
shareholder that is: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a domestic corporation, (iii) an estate
whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a United
States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States
persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

Other than with respect to any cash payments received in lieu of fractional shares discussed below, no
gain or loss should be recognized by a shareholder upon such shareholder's exchange of pre-reverse stock split
shares for post-reverse stock split shares pursuant to a reverse stock split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-
reverse stock split shares received in the reverse stock split (including any fraction of a new share deemed to
have been received) will be the same as the shareholder's aggregate tax basis in the pre-reverse stock split
shares exchanged therefor. In general, shareholders who receive cash in exchange for their fractional share
interests in the post-reverse stock split shares as a result of a reverse stock split will be deemed for federal
income tax purposes to have first received the fractional share interests and then to have had those fractional
share interests redeemed for cash. The shareholder's holding period for the post-reverse stock split shares will
include the period during which the shareholder held the pre-reverse stock split shares surrendered in the
reverse stock split.

The receipt of cash instead of a fractional share of our common stock by a United States holder of our
common stock will generally result in a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash
received and the holder's adjusted federal income tax basis in the fractional share. Gain or loss generally will
be a capital gain or loss. Capital gain of a non-corporate United States holder, upon disposition of property
held for more than one year generally is taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Deductibility of capital loss is
subject to limitations.

A non-corporate shareholder that receives cash in lieu of a fractional share may be subject to backup
withholding at 28% unless the shareholder provides its taxpayer identification number (""TIN'') and certifies
that the TIN is correct, or certifies that it is awaiting a TIN, unless an exemption applies. Backup withholding
is not an additional tax. The amount of backup withholding can be credited against the United States federal
income tax liability of the person subject to backup withholding, including for purposes of obtaining a refund,
provided that the required information is provided to the Internal Revenue Service.

Tax Consequences to the Company

We should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the proposed reverse stock split.

Accounting Consequences

The par value per share of our common stock would remain unchanged at $0.01 per share after any
reverse  stock  split.  As  a  result,  on  the  effective  date  of  a  reverse  stock  split,  the  stated  capital  on  the
Company's balance sheet attributable to the common stock will be reduced proportionally, based on the ratio
of the reverse stock split, from its present amount, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited
with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The net income or loss per share of common stock and
net book value will be increased because there will be fewer shares of the common stock outstanding. We do
not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of a reverse stock split.

Dissenters' Rights

Chapter  23B.13  of  the  Washington  Business  Corporation  Act  provides  for  dissenters'  rights  for  any
amendment to the articles of incorporation that reduces the total number of shares owned by the shareholder

37

 
t
n
e
m
e
t
a
t
S
y
x
o
r
P

to a fraction of a share, if the fractional share created by the amendment is to be acquired by us for cash. In
our case, these provisions only apply to holders of three or fewer shares of our common stock.

Any such shareholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive only a fractional share in the
reverse stock split may be entitled to a judicial appraisal of the fair value of his or her fractional share. Merely
voting against the reverse stock split is not sufficient to preserve a shareholder's dissenters' rights. In order to
be entitled to appraisal rights under Chapter 23B.13, a shareholder must:

‚ be within the class of shareholders who may be entitled to appraisal rights (i.e., those shareholders who
would have been entitled to receive only a fractional share as they own three or fewer shares of our
common stock);

‚ deliver to us, before the vote on the reverse stock split is taken, notice of the shareholder's intention to

demand appraisal of his or her fractional share if the reverse stock split is effected; and

‚ not vote in favor of the reverse stock split (a shareholder does not have to vote against the reverse stock

split to preserve dissenters' rights).

A shareholder's failure to vote in favor of the proposed reverse stock split will not be sufficient to satisfy
the notice requirements of the statute; the shareholder must also deliver the required notice before the vote
occurs.

The foregoing summary of Chapter 23B.13 of the Washington Business Corporation Act does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Chapter 23B.13, which is set forth
as Appendix A attached to this proxy statement. Shareholders who wish to exercise their statutory right of
appraisal are urged to consult legal counsel for assistance in exercising their rights. Any shareholder entitled to
appraisal rights who fails to comply completely and on a timely basis with all requirements of Chapter 23B.13
for perfecting appraisal rights will lose those rights.

Board Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends a vote for approval of Proposal 2 to
amend our Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-four reverse stock split of all outstanding and
authorized shares of our common stock.

Proposal 3: To Approve an Amendment to Our Restated Articles of Incorporation to Increase the
Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 Shares (on a pre-split
basis)

We propose to amend Article II(A) of our Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares, on a pre-split basis. As amended,
Article II(A) of our Restated Articles of Incorporation would read as set forth below:

""A. Authorized Capital. The Corporation is authorized to issue a total of three hundred five million
(305,000,000) shares, consisting of three hundred million (300,000,000) shares of $.01 par value to
be  designated  ""Common  Stock''  and  five  million  (5,000,000)  shares  of  $.01  par  value  to  be
designated ""Preferred Stock.'' Subject to any rights expressly granted to Preferred Stock issued
pursuant to Paragraph B of this Article, the Common Stock shall have all the rights ordinarily
associated with common shares, including but not limited to general voting rights, general rights to
dividends, and liquidation rights. The Preferred Stock shall have the rights and preferences described
in  Paragraph  B  of  this  article  or  in  a  resolution  of  the  Board  of  Directors  adopted  pursuant  to
Paragraph B.''

If both Proposal 2 regarding the one-for-four reverse stock split and Proposal 3 become effective, then as

amended, Article II(A) of our Restated Articles of Incorporation would read as set forth below:

""A.  Authorized  Capital.  The  Corporation  is  authorized  to  issue  a  total  of  eighty  million
(80,000,000) shares, consisting of seventy-five million (75,000,000) shares of $.01 par value to be
designated ""Common Stock'' and five million (5,000,000) shares of $.01 par value to be designated
""Preferred Stock.'' Subject to any rights expressly granted to Preferred Stock issued pursuant to

38

 
P
r
o
x
y
S
t
a
t
e
m
e
n
t

Paragraph B of this Article, the Common Stock shall have all the rights ordinarily associated with
common shares, including but not limited to general voting rights, general rights to dividends, and
liquidation  rights.  The  Preferred  Stock  shall  have  the  rights  and  preferences  described  in  Para-
graph B of this article or in a resolution of the Board of Directors adopted pursuant to Paragraph B.''

As  of  April  17,  2006,  we  had  no  shares  of  preferred  stock  issued  and  outstanding  of  an  authorized
5,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock  and  approximately  91.75  million  shares  of  common  stock  issued  and
outstanding and had reserved approximately 48.23 million shares of common stock for issuance under existing
convertibles notes, warrants, stock options and other employee benefit plans. Assuming shareholder approval
of the 2006 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, we will have an aggregate of approximately 149.98 million
shares of common stock issued and reserved for issuance at the time of the Annual Meeting.

Our authorized preferred stock of 5,000,000 shares would not be changed by this proposed amendment.
Our preferred stock is undesignated. The Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, may issue the
preferred stock with voting and conversion rights that could materially and adversely affect the voting power of
the  holders  of  common  stock,  and  could  also  decrease  the  amount  of  earnings  and  assets  available  for
distribution to the holders of common stock.

The rights of additional authorized shares of common stock would be identical to shares now authorized.

The authorization of common stock will not, in itself, have any effect on your rights as a shareholder. If
the Board were to issue additional shares of common stock for other than a stock split or dividend, however, it
could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share and on your voting power in the Company, perhaps
significantly.

We believe that the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is in the best
interests of our shareholders. It is important for the Board to have the flexibility to act promptly to meet future
business needs as they arise. Sufficient shares should be readily available to maintain our financing and capital
raising flexibility, fund acquisitions and mergers, enable employee benefit plans such as the 2006 Long-Term
Equity Compensation Plan, provide for matching contributions under our 401(k) Plan, enable stock splits and
dividends and for other proper business purposes. Having a limited number of shares available severely limits
our flexibility and hinders our ability to raise capital, move quickly with respect to acquisition opportunities
and attract employees.

By having additional shares readily available for issuance, we will be able to act expeditiously without
spending the time and incurring the expense of soliciting proxies and holding special meetings of shareholders.
We  have  no  present  plans,  agreements,  commitments  or  understandings  for  the  issuance  or  use  of  these
proposed  additional  shares  of  common  stock,  although  such  shares  could  be  used  as  future  matching
contributions under our 401(k) Plan for our U.S. employees and restricted stock grants to our non-employee
directors.

The Board may issue additional shares of common stock without action on your part only if the action is
permissible under Washington corporate law and the rules of Nasdaq, on which our common stock is listed.
For example, approval by the shareholders would be required by Nasdaq rules if the issuance of shares of
common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, such as the preferred stock, would result in a
change of control of the Company. Nasdaq also requires shareholder approval before the issuance of shares in
private  transactions  equal  to  20%  or  more  of  the  common  stock  or  voting  power  outstanding  before  the
issuance for less than the greater of the book value or market value of the common stock and before the
issuance of shares in an acquisition equal to 20% or more of the common stock or voting power outstanding
before the acquisition. Exceptions to these rules may be made upon application to Nasdaq.

The future issuance of additional shares of common stock also could be used to block an unsolicited
acquisition through the issuance of large blocks of stock to persons or entities considered by our officers and
directors to be opposed to such acquisition, which might be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect (i.e., might
impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt). Our management and Board
could  use  the  additional  shares  to  resist  or  frustrate  a  third-party  transaction  providing  an  above-market
premium that is favored by a majority of our independent shareholders. In fact, the mere existence of such a

P

block of authorized but unissued shares, and the Board's ability to issue such shares without shareholder
approval, might deter a bidder from seeking to acquire our shares on an unfriendly basis. We have other
provisions in our restated articles of incorporation, restated bylaws and credit agreements that could make it
more difficult for a third party to acquire us. For example, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide
limitations on removing a director, the ability of the Board to issue preferred stock with such voting, dividend,
liquidation  and  other  terms  as  the  Board  determines,  no  cumulative  voting  for  directors,  special  voting
requirements for certain mergers and other business combinations and special procedures for calling special
meetings of the shareholders, proposing matters for shareholder approval and nominating directors.

While  the  authorization  of  additional  shares  of  common  stock  alone  or  together  with  the  preceding
provisions  may  have  an  anti-takeover  effect,  the  Board  does  not  intend  or  view  the  proposed  increase  in
authorized common stock as an anti-takeover measure, nor are we aware of any proposed transactions of this
type. We have no present plans or proposals to adopt any other provisions or enter into any other arrangements
that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

Board  Recommendation: The  Board  of  Directors  recommends  that  you  vote  ""for'' approval  of
Proposal 3 to amend our Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
common stock to 300,000,000, on a pre-split basis.

Proposal 4: To Approve Our 2006 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan

On  March  8,  2006,  the  Board  of  Directors  approved  the  adoption  of  the  2006  Long-Term  Equity
Compensation  Plan  (the  ""2006  Plan''),  subject  to  shareholder  approval.  The  2006  Plan  authorizes  the
issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares (2,500,000 shares if the one-for-four reverse stock split is implemented) of
common stock pursuant to stock options, as stock bonus awards and grants of restricted stock.

The complete text of the 2006 Plan is set forth as Appendix B to this proxy statement. The following

summary description is qualified in its entirety to reference to the full text of the 2006 Plan.

We believe that the approval of the 2006 Plan is in the best interest of our shareholders. Stock options
remain a key factor in attracting, rewarding and retaining employees, including officers. Stock options serve to
align the interest of optionees with the long-term interests of our shareholders. Our options are granted at fair
market value on the day of grant and generally vest over four years, with no vesting for the first year. Thus an
optionee realizes an economic gain in connection with his or her stock options only if there is a long-term
appreciation in the market price for our common stock. Having insufficient options available for grant would
adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees, officers, directors, agents and consultants.

In some circumstances the use of stock bonus grants and/or restricted stock grants, either alone or in
combination with stock options, may provide an appropriate compensation structure and employee benefit.
Given the desire to have flexibility in granting incentive awards in the future, the 2006 Plan permits the
granting of stock bonuses and restricted stock grants as well as stock options.

We currently have four stock option plans with options available for grant to our employees generally.
Under these four plans, an aggregate of options covering 213,669 shares of common stock remained available
for grant as of December 31, 2005, of which no more than 113,599 options may be granted to executive
officers and directors. We may grant restricted stock and stock bonuses only under the 2004 Long-Term
Equity Plan, under which we had only 9,023 shares available for grant as of December 31, 2005. We recently
terminated a stock option plan we assumed in connection with the 2004 acquisition of OctigaBay Systems
Corporation, now known as Cray Canada Inc.

Terms of the 2006 Plan

Purposes of the 2006 Plan. The purposes of the 2006 Plan are to provide a means for us to attract,
reward and retain the services and advice of our employees, officers, directors, agents and consultants, and to
provide them with added incentives by encouraging ownership of our common stock.

Maximum Number of Shares. The 2006 Plan provides that up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock
(2,500,000 shares if the one-for-four reverse stock split is approved and implemented) may be issued pursuant
to the Plan pursuant to stock options, stock bonuses and restricted stock awards. These numbers would be
adjusted for changes in our capital structure, such as a stock split or reverse stock split. If any option or award
expires or is surrendered, cancelled or terminated for any reason without having been exercised or awarded in
full, the unpurchased or unearned shares subject to such option or award shall again be available for grant
under the 2006 Plan.

Types of Options. The options granted may be either incentive stock options (""ISOs'') or nonqualified
stock options, although ISOs may be granted only to employees. The Board determines the term of each
option  and  when  options  are  exercisable.  The  Board's  general  practice  has  been  to  have  options  become
exercisable over a four-year period, with 25% becoming exercisable one year after grant and then ratably
monthly over the next 36 months, although most options granted in 2005 vested on December 31, 2005, or
immediately  upon  grant.  Options  granted  to  non-employee  directors  generally  vest  over  a  twelve-month
period, ratably per month; options granted in 2005 to non-employee directors vested on December 31, 2005.
Options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant, although the Board may grant options that expire
earlier.

Stock Awards. The Board may determine the number of shares to be awarded, the period of time for the
award,  and  the  terms,  conditions  (including  performance  conditions)  and  restrictions  applicable  to  each
award.

Eligible Participants. Eligible participants are current or future employees (including employees who
are directors), officers, independent directors, agents and consultants. The Board has the authority to select
the persons to whom awards are given. Our practice is to grant additional options to nearly all employees as
part of their annual reviews, and to grant options to key new employees upon hiring. We had approximately
770 employees as of March 1, 2006.

If  the  shareholders  approve  the  2006  Plan,  we  plan  to  grant  restricted  stock  to  our  continuing  non-
employee directors pursuant to the compensation plan described above under ""Corporate Governance Ì The
Board of Directors Ì How We Compensate Directors Ì Equity Awards.'' The number of shares granted to
each non-employee director will be determined by dividing the amounts shown corresponding to each non-
employee director by the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the 2006 Annual Meeting. If
the shareholders do not approve the 2006 Plan, we would grant stock options to each non-employee director
pursuant to our current policy. The value of the shares of restricted stock to be granted to each continuing non-
employee director is:

We have no commitments to grant any restricted stock or grant options under the 2006 Plan to any

executive officer or other employees.

Exercise  Prices. The  Board  determines  the  exercise  price  of  options.  The  exercise  price  for  both
incentive stock options (""ISOs'') and nonqualified options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value
on the date of grant. For any grant of ISOs to employees who own more than 10% of our voting stock, the
exercise price must be not less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the term of the ISO
cannot exceed five years.

Maximum Size of Grants. No one individual may receive options and awards aggregating more than
1,600,000 shares (400,000 shares if the one-for-four reverse stock split is approved and implemented) in any
one year.

Transferability. Recent changes to the Internal Revenue Code and SEC rules now permit nonqualified
options to be transferable. While generally such options remain nontransferable other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, the Board, in its discretion and
subject to such terms and conditions as it shall specify, may permit the transfer of a nonqualified option to an
optionee's family members or to one or more trusts or partnerships established for the benefit of such family
members. ISOs remain nontransferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Board also
may impose restrictions on the transferability of shares of stock received pursuant to other types of awards.

Termination of Service. Unless otherwise determined by the Board or specified in a particular option
agreement, if an optionee's employment or service with us terminates, other than for cause, death or disability,
the optionee may exercise the portion of his or her option exercisable at the time of termination for a period of
three months after termination, or, if earlier, until the option expires. If the optionee is terminated for ""cause''
or  ""resigns  in  lieu  of  dismissal''  (as  such  terms  are  defined  in  the  Plan),  the  option  is  deemed  to  have
terminated at the time of the first act which led to such termination. If an optionee dies while employed by or
providing  services  to  us,  or  an  optionee's  employment  or  other  relationship  with  us  terminates  due  to
permanent and total disability, the optionee or his or her successor has 12 months from such event to exercise
the option (including any unvested portion), or, if earlier, until the option expires. The Board has the authority
to extend those three-month and 12-month periods, but not beyond the expiration date of any option, and to
increase the portion of an option that is exercisable.

Foreign  Qualified  Grants. The  Board  may  adopt  such  supplements  to  the  2006  Plan  as  may  be
necessary  to  comply  with  the  applicable  laws  of  foreign  jurisdictions  and  to  afford  participants  favorable
treatment under such laws, provided that no award shall be granted under any such supplement with terms
that are more beneficial to the participants than the terms permitted under the 2006 Plan.

Change in Control Provisions.

In order to maintain the rights of participants in the event of a merger,
consolidation or plan of exchange, other than in which the holders of our voting securities hold at least 50% of
the voting securities of the surviving corporation or its parent corporation, or a sale of all or substantially all of
our assets, or our liquidation or dissolution, then, unless the existing options and restrictions on awards are
continued or assumed by the successor entity, with appropriate adjustments, then the 2006 Plan and existing
options and restrictions on awards shall terminate upon the effective date of the transaction. In such event,
each optionee would have the opportunity to exercise his or her options in full, including any portion not then
vested, and the restrictions and conditions to outstanding stock awards would lapse, all prior to the effective
date of the transaction.

Term  of  the  Plan  and  Amendments. Unless  sooner  terminated  by  the  Board,  the  2006  Plan  will
terminate ten years from the date of its adoption by the Board. The Board has the power to suspend or
terminate the 2006 Plan at any time. The Board is authorized to amend the 2006 Plan, except that shareholder
approval is required for any amendment that would:

‚ increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2006 Plan,

‚ permit the granting of stock options or awards to a new class of persons not presently covered by the

2006 Plan, or

‚ require shareholder approval under applicable law or regulation.

The Board, in its discretion, may include further provisions and limitations in any option agreement as it
deems equitable and in our best interests. The Board, subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan and applicable law,
may also amend outstanding options and awards, except that no amendment may be made which impairs or
diminishes the rights of an option or award holder without such holder's consent. The Board, without prior
shareholder approval, may not reduce the exercise price of outstanding options issued under the 2006 Plan or
cancel or amend such options for the purpose of repricing, replacing or regranting such options with a lower
exercise price.

U.S. Tax Consequences of the 2006 Plan

Stock Options. Under U.S. federal tax laws, the grant of a stock option will not result in taxable income
at the time of the grant for us or the optionee. The optionee will have no taxable income upon exercising an
ISO (except that the alternative minimum tax may apply), and we will receive no deduction when an ISO is
exercised. Upon exercising a nonqualified stock option, the optionee will recognize ordinary income in the
amount by which the fair market value of the common stock at the time of exercise exceeds the exercise price;
we will be entitled to a deduction for the same amount. Such income is subject to withholding tax as ""wages.''
Currently withholding and employment taxes do not apply to the exercise of an ISO or the disposition of
shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO. The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service are
considering whether to apply such taxes to such exercises and dispositions. Future changes in or clarifications
of the tax laws may cause us to conclude that such taxes are required.

The tax treatment of an optionee for a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option is
dependent upon the length of time the shares have been held and on whether such shares were acquired by
exercising an ISO or a nonqualified stock option. Generally upon the sale of shares obtained by exercising a
nonqualified option, the optionee will treat the gain realized on the sale over the market value of our common
stock on the exercise as a capital gain. If an employee exercises an ISO and holds the shares for two years
from the date of grant and one year after exercise, then the optionee will recognize long-term capital gain or
loss  equal  to  the  difference  between  the  sale  price  and  the  option  exercise  price.  Shares  obtained  by  an
exercise of an ISO that are sold without satisfying these holding periods will be treated as shares received from
the exercise of a nonqualified option.

Generally, there will be no tax consequence to us in connection with the disposition of shares acquired
under an option except that we may be entitled to a deduction in the case of a disposition of shares acquired
upon exercise of an ISO before the applicable ISO holding periods have been satisfied.

We  generally  will  be  entitled  to  a  tax  deduction  equal  to  the  amount  includable  as  income  by  the
employee at the same time or times as the employee recognizes income with respect to the shares. Such
income is subject to withholding tax as ""wages.''

Stock Bonuses and Other Grants of Stock. An employee who receives a stock bonus or a grant of stock
in connection with the performance of services generally will realize taxable income at the time of receipt. An
employee will not recognize income at the time of receipt, however, if the shares are subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture for purposes of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code, unless the employee elects under
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code within 30 days after the original transfer to recognize income at
the time of the original transfer. Restrictions on transferability, by themselves, do not constitute a substantial
risk of forfeiture for Section 83 purposes. If the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture at the time
of receipt and the employee has not made a Section 83(b) election within 30 days after the original transfer,
the employee will recognize taxable income in the year the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. We generally
will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount includable as income by the employee at the same time
or times as the employee recognizes income with respect to the shares. Such income is subject to withholding
tax as ""wages,'' and the 2006 Plan provides that awardees may pay such withholding tax by cash or return of
shares as is necessary.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits to $1 million per person the amount we may deduct
for compensation paid to certain officers and certain of our most highly compensated employees. Compensa-
tion received through the exercise of stock options is not subject to this $1 million limit if the option and plan
meet certain requirements, including options granted with an exercise price at not less than fair market value.
Our policy is to grant options meeting the requirements of Section 162(m) and applicable regulations.

Stock Price Information. The last sales price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National

Market System on April 17, 2006, was $1.52 per share.

Board Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends that you vote ""for'' approval of Proposal 4 to
approve the 2006 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan.

(1) A record shareholder may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer than all the shares registered in the
shareholder's name only if the shareholder dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by any one
person and delivers to the corporation a notice of the name and address of each person on whose behalf the
shareholder asserts dissenters' rights. The rights of a partial dissenter under this subsection are determined as
if the shares as to which the dissenter dissents and the dissenter's other shares were registered in the names of
different shareholders.

(2) A beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters' rights as to shares held on the beneficial share-

holder's behalf only if:

(a) The beneficial shareholder submits to the corporation the record shareholder's consent to the
dissent not later than the time the beneficial shareholder asserts dissenters' rights, which consent shall be
set forth either (i) in a record or (ii) if the corporation has designated an address, location, or system to
which the consent may be electronically transmitted and the consent is electronically transmitted to the
designated address, location, or system, in an electronically transmitted record; and

(b) The beneficial shareholder does so with respect to all shares of which such shareholder is the

beneficial shareholder or over which such shareholder has power to direct the vote.

RCW 23B.13.200. Notice of Dissenters' Rights

vote at a shareholders' meeting, the meeting notice must state that shareholders are or may be entitled to
assert dissenters' rights under this chapter and be accompanied by a copy of this chapter.

(2) If corporate action creating dissenters' rights under RCW 23B.13.020 is taken without a vote of
shareholders, the corporation, within ten days after the effective date of such corporate action, shall deliver a
notice to all shareholders entitled to assert dissenters' rights that the action was taken and send them the
notice described in RCW 23B.13.220.

RCW 23B.13.210. Notice of Intent to Demand Payment

(1) If proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under RCW 23B.13.020 is submitted to a
vote at a shareholders' meeting, a shareholder who wishes to assert dissenters' rights must (a) deliver to the
corporation before the vote is taken notice of the shareholder's intent to demand payment for the shareholder's
shares if the proposed action is effected, and (b) not vote such shares in favor of the proposed action.

(2) A shareholder who does not satisfy the requirements of subsection (1) of this section is not entitled

required, each by the date set in the notice, is not entitled to payment for the shareholder's shares under this
chapter.

RCW 23B.13.240. Share Restrictions

(1) The corporation may restrict the transfer of uncertificated shares from the date the demand for their

RCW 23B.13.270 and demand payment of the dissenter's estimate of the fair value of the dissenter's shares
and interest due, if:

(a) The  dissenter  believes  that  the  amount  paid  under  RCW  23B.13.250  or  offered  under
RCW 23B.13.270 is less than the fair value of the dissenter's shares or that the interest due is incorrectly
calculated;

set for demanding payment; or

RCW 23B.13.300. Court Action

(1) If  a  demand  for  payment  under  RCW  23B.13.280  remains  unsettled,  the  corporation  shall
commence  a  proceeding  within  sixty  days  after  receiving  the  payment  demand  and  petition  the  court  to
determine  the  fair  value  of  the  shares  and  accrued  interest.  If  the  corporation  does  not  commence  the
proceeding  within  the  sixty-day  period,  it  shall  pay  each  dissenter  whose  demand  remains  unsettled  the
amount demanded.

(2) The  corporation  shall  commence  the  proceeding  in  the  superior  court  of  the  county  where  a
corporation's principal office, or, if none in this state, its registered office, is located. If the corporation is a
foreign corporation without a registered office in this state, it shall commence the proceeding in the county in
this state where the registered office of the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired
by the foreign corporation was located.

(3) The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands
remain unsettled, parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares and all parties must be served
with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as
provided by law.

(4) The corporation may join as a party to the proceeding any shareholder who claims to be a dissenter
but who has not, in the opinion of the corporation, complied with the provisions of this chapter. If the court
determines that such shareholder has not complied with the provisions of this chapter, the shareholder shall be
dismissed as a party.

(5) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) of this
section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence
and recommend decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order
appointing them, or in any amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties
in other civil proceedings.

(6) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment (a) for the amount, if any, by
which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the
corporation, or (b) for the fair value, plus accrued interest, of the dissenter's after-acquired shares for which
the corporation elected to withhold payment under RCW 23B.13.270.

RCW 23B.13.310. Court Costs and Counsel Fees

(1) The court in a proceeding commenced under RCW 23B.13.300 shall determine all costs of the
proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The
court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess the costs against all or
some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters acted
arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding payment under RCW 23B.13.280.

(2) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in

amounts the court finds equitable:

(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if the court finds the corporation did

not substantially comply with the requirements of RCW 23B.13.200 through 23B.13.280; or

(b) Against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that
the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good
faith with respect to the rights provided by chapter 23B.13 RCW.

(3) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other
dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation,
the court may award to these counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenters
who were benefited.

10,000,000 shares ®2,500,000 shares if the 2006 proposed one-for-four reverse stock split is implemented©, all
as such Common Stock was constituted on the effective date of this Plan. If an option or award granted under
this Plan expires, terminates or is canceled, the unissued shares subject to that option or award shall again be
available under this Plan. If shares awarded as a bonus pursuant to Section 6 or issued pursuant to Section 7
under this Plan are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, the number of shares forfeited or repurchased
shall again be available under this Plan.

period,  accelerate  any  exercise  date,  waive  or  modify  any  restriction  applicable  to  shares  (except  those
restrictions imposed by law) and make all other determinations in the judgment of the Board necessary or
desirable for the administration of the Plan. The interpretation and construction of the provisions of the Plan
and any option or award issued under this Plan, and related agreements by the Board shall be final and
conclusive. The Board may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the
Plan or in any related agreement in the manner and to the extent it deems expedient to carry the Plan into
effect, or to be consistent with any rule or regulation promulgated in connection herewith. All actions taken by
the Board shall be conclusive and binding on all interested parties. The Board may delegate administrative
functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Company.

action or inaction of the Board, any Board committee, the Company or any another person or, except in
circumstances involving bad faith, of himself or herself. Subject only to compliance with the explicit provisions
hereof, the Board may act in its absolute discretion in all matters related to this Plan.

3.3 Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934. At  any  time  that  the  Company  has  a  class  of  securities
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ""Exchange Act''),
this Plan shall be administered by the Board in accordance with Rule 16b-3 adopted under the Exchange Act,
as such rule may be amended from time to time.

3.4 Committee. The Board by resolution may delegate to a committee of the Board (the ""Commit-
tee'') any or all authority for administration of the Plan. If a Committee is appointed, all references to the
Board in the Plan shall mean and relate to such Committee, except that only the Board may amend, modify,
suspend or terminate the Plan as provided in Section 10.

4. Awards. The Board may grant options or awards to any current or future employee, officer, director,

total of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock ®400,000 shares if the 2006 proposed one-for-four reverse stock
split is implemented© in any calendar year.

5. Option Grants.

5.1
conditions:

Incentive  Stock  Options.

Incentive  Stock  Options  shall  be  subject  to  the  following  terms  and

(a) Incentive Stock Options may be granted under this Plan only to employees of the Company or
its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 422(a)(2) of the Code, including employees who are
directors.

(b) No employee may be granted Incentive Stock Options under this Plan to the extent that the
aggregate fair market value, on the date of grant, of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by that employee during any calendar year, under this
Plan and under any other incentive stock option plan (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of
the  Company  or  any  subsidiary,  exceeds  $100,000.  To  the  extent  that  any  option  designated  as  an
Incentive Stock Option exceeds the $100,000 limit, such option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock
Option. In making this determination, options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were
granted, and the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock shall be determined as of the time that
the option with respect to such shares was granted.

(c) An Incentive Stock Option may be granted under this Plan to an employee possessing more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (as determined
pursuant to the attribution rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code) only if the exercise price is at
least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date the option is
granted, as described in Section 5.1(f) of this Plan, and only if the option by its terms is not exercisable
after the expiration of five years from the date it is granted.

(d) Except as provided in Section 5.5 of this Plan, no Incentive Stock Option granted under this
Plan may be exercised unless at the time of such exercise the optionee is employed by the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company and the optionee has been so employed continuously since the date such
option was granted.

(e) Subject to Sections 5.1(c) and 5.1(d) of this Plan, Incentive Stock Options granted under this
Plan shall continue in effect for the period fixed by the Board, except that no Incentive Stock Option
shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date it is granted.

(f) The exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Common
Stock covered by the Incentive Stock Option at the date the option is granted. The fair market value of
shares shall be the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the trading date immediately prior to
the date of grant as reported on a securities quotation system or stock exchange or other principal market
for the Common Stock. If such shares are not so reported or listed, the Board shall from time to time
determine the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock in its discretion.

(g) The provisions of clauses (b) and (c) of this Section shall not apply if either the applicable
sections  of  the  Code  or  the  regulations  thereunder  are  amended  so  as  to  change  or  eliminate  such
limitations or to permit appropriate modifications of those requirements by the Board.

(h) If within two years after an Incentive Stock Option is granted or within 12 months after an
Incentive Stock Option is exercised, the optionee sells or otherwise disposes of Common Stock acquired

(iii) the nature of the disposition (e.g., sale, gift, etc.).

5.2 Non-Qualified  Stock  Options. Non-Qualified  Stock  Options  shall  be  subject  to  the  following

terms and conditions:

(a) The exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Common
Stock covered by the Non-Qualified Stock Option on the date the option is granted. The fair market
value of shares of Common Stock covered by a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be determined by the
Board, as described in Section 5.1(f).

(b) Non-Qualified Stock Options granted under this Plan shall continue in effect for the period
fixed by the Board, except that no Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of
10 years from the date it is granted.

5.3 Vesting. To  ensure  that  the  Company  will  achieve  the  purposes  of  and  receive  the  benefits
contemplated in this Plan, the Board, at its discretion, may establish a vesting schedule, change such vesting
schedule or provide for no vesting schedule for options granted under the Plan. In establishing a vesting
schedule,  the  Board  may  set  a  ""Base  Date'',  meaning  a  reference  date  for  the  specific  option  grant  and
optionee. If no Base Date is established by the Board for a specific option grant, then the date of grant of the
option by the Board shall constitute the Base Date.

5.4 Nontransferability. Each option granted under this Plan and the rights and privileges conferred
hereby may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (whether by operation of law
or otherwise) other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or, with respect to Non-
Qualified Stock Options, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. The foregoing notwithstanding, the
Board on conditions it determines may permit the transferability of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by an
optionee solely to members of the optionee's family or to one or more trusts or partnerships for the benefit of
such family members. Any purported transfer or assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.

5.5 Termination of Options.

5.5.1 Generally. Unless  otherwise  determined  by  the  Board  or  specified  in  the  optionee's  Option
Agreement, if the optionee's employment or service with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates for any
reason other than for cause, resignation, retirement, disability or death, and unless by its terms the option
sooner terminates or expires, then the optionee may exercise, for a three-month period, that portion of the
optionee's option which was exercisable at the time of such termination of employment or service (provided
the conditions of Section 5.6.4 and any other conditions specified in the Option Agreement shall have been
met by the date of exercise of such option). For purposes of this Section 5.5, references to employment or
service with the Company, and similar references, shall include the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

5.5.2 For Cause; Resignation.

(a) If  an  optionee  is  terminated  for  cause  or  resigns  in  lieu  of  dismissal,  any  option  granted
hereunder shall be deemed to have terminated as of the time of the first act which led or would have led
to the termination for cause or resignation in lieu of dismissal, and such optionee shall thereupon have no
right to purchase any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of such option, and any such
exercise shall be null and void. Termination for ""cause'' shall include (i) the violation by the optionee of
any reasonable rule or policy of the Board or the optionee's superiors or the chief executive officer or the
President of the Company that results in damage to the Company or which, after notice to do so, the
optionee fails to correct within a reasonable time; (ii) any willful misconduct or gross negligence by the
optionee in the responsibilities assigned to him or her; (iii) any willful failure to perform his or her job as
required to meet the objectives of the Company; (iv) any wrongful conduct of an optionee which has an
adverse impact on the Company or which constitutes a misappropriation of the assets of the Company;
(v) unauthorized disclosure of confidential information; or (vi) the optionee's performing services for any
other company or person which competes with the Company while he or she is employed by or provides

P

services  to  the  Company,  without  the  prior  written  approval  of  the  Chairman  or  President  of  the
Company. ""Resignation in lieu of dismissal'' shall mean a resignation by an optionee of employment with
or service to the Company if (i) the Company has given prior notice to such optionee of its intent to
dismiss the optionee for circumstances that constitute cause, or (ii) within two months of the optionee's
resignation, the Chairman or President of the Company or the Board determines, which determination
shall  be  final  and  binding,  that  such  resignation  was  related  to  an  act  which  would  have  led  to  a
termination for cause.

(b) If an optionee resigns from the Company, the right of the optionee to exercise his or her option
shall be suspended for a period of two months from the date of resignation, unless the Chairman or the
President of the Company or the Board determines otherwise in writing. Thereafter, unless there is a
determination that the optionee resigned in lieu of dismissal, the option may be exercised at any time
prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the option, or (ii) the expiration of three months after the
date of resignation, for that portion of the optionee's option which was exercisable at the time of such
resignation (provided the conditions of Section 5.6.4 and any other conditions specified in the Option
Agreement shall have been met at the date of exercise of such option).

5.5.3 Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if an optionee's employment or service
with the Company is terminated with the Company's approval for reasons of age, the Option may be exercised
at any time prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration date of the option or (b) the expiration of three months
after the date of such termination of employment or service, for that portion of the optionee's option which
was  exercisable  at  the  time  of  such  termination  of  employment  or  service  (provided  the  conditions  of
Section 5.6.4 and any other conditions specified in the Option Agreement shall have been met at the date of
exercise of such option).

5.5.4 Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if an optionee's employment or relation-
ship  with  the  Company  terminates  because  of  a  permanent  and  total  disability  (as  defined  in  Sec-
tion 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of (a) expiration date
of the Option or (b) the expiration of 12 months after the date of such termination for up to the full number of
shares of Common Stock covered thereby, including any portion not yet vested (provided the conditions of
Section 5.6.4 and any other conditions specified in the Option Agreement shall have been met by the date of
exercise of such Option).

5.5.5 Death. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of the death of an optionee while
employed by or providing service to the Company, the Option may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier
of (a) the expiration date of the Option or (b) the expiration of 12 months after the date of death by the
person or persons to whom such optionee's rights under the option shall pass by the optionee's will or by the
applicable laws of descent and distribution for up to the full number of shares of Common Stock covered
thereby,  including  any  portion  not  yet  vested  (provided  the  conditions  of  Section  5.6.4  and  any  other
conditions specified in the Option Agreement shall have been met by the date of exercise of such Option).

5.5.6 Extension of Exercise Period. The Board, at the time of grant or at any time thereafter, may
extend the three-month and 12-month exercise periods to any length of time not longer than the original
expiration date of the option, and may increase the portion of an option that is exercisable, subject to such
terms and conditions as the Board may determine; provided, that any extension of the exercise period or other
modification of an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the written agreement and acknowledgment by
the optionee that the extension or modification disqualifies the option as an Incentive Stock Option.

5.5.7 Failure to Exercise Option. To the extent that the option of any deceased optionee or of any
optionee whose employment or service terminates is not exercised within the applicable period, all rights to
purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to such options shall cease and terminate.

5.5.8 Leaves. For purposes of this Section 5.5, employment shall be deemed to continue while the
optionee is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (as determined by the Board) in
accordance with the policies of the Company.

5.6 Exercise.

5.6.1 Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 above, each Option may be exercised in
whole or in part; provided, however, that no fewer than 100 shares (or the remaining shares then purchasable
under  the  Option,  if  less  than  100  shares)  may  be  purchased  upon  any  exercise  of  any  Option  granted
hereunder and that only whole shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option (the number of
100  shares  shall  not  be  changed  by  any  transaction  or  action  described  in  Section  8  unless  the  Board
determines that such a change is appropriate). Options shall be exercised by delivery to the Secretary of the
Company or his or her designated agent of written notice of the number of shares with respect to which the
Option is exercised, together with payment in full of the exercise price.

5.6.2 Payment. Payment of the option exercise price shall be made in full at the time the written
notice of exercise of the option is delivered to the Secretary of the Company or his or her designated agent and
shall be in cash or check or pursuant to irrevocable instructions to a stock broker to deliver the amount of sales
proceeds necessary to pay the appropriate exercise price and withholding tax obligations, all in accordance
with applicable governmental regulations, for the shares of Common Stock being purchased. The Board may
determine at the time the option is granted for Incentive Stock Options, or at any time before exercise for
Non-Qualified  Stock  Options,  that  additional  forms  of  payment  will  be  permitted.  Unless  otherwise
determined by the Board, any Common Stock provided in payment of the purchase price must have been
previously acquired and held by the optionee for at least six months.

5.6.3 Withholding. Prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option,
the  optionee  shall  pay  to  the  Company  the  amount  of  any  applicable  federal,  state,  local  and  other  tax
withholding obligations. In addition, the optionee shall pay to the Company promptly any required federal,
state  and  local  withholding  obligations  arising  out  of  a  disqualifying  disposition  of  shares  acquired  upon
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. The Company may withhold any distribution in whole or in part until
the Company is so paid. The Company shall have the right to withhold such amount from any other amounts
due or to become due from the Company, as the case may be, to the optionee, including salary (subject to
applicable law) or to retain and withhold a number of shares having a market value not less than the amount
of such taxes required to be withheld by the Company to reimburse it for any such taxes and cancel (in whole
or in part) any such shares so withheld.

5.6.4 Conditions Precedent to Exercise. The Board may establish conditions precedent to the exercise

of any option, which shall be described in the relevant Option Agreement.

5.7 Foreign Qualified Grants. Options under this Plan may be granted to officers and employees of
the  Company  or  any  of  its  subsidiaries  and  other  persons  described  in  Section  4  who  reside  in  foreign
jurisdictions as the Board may determine from time to time. The Board may adopt such supplements to the
Plan as are necessary to comply with the applicable laws of such foreign jurisdictions and to afford optionees
favorable  treatment  under  such  laws;  provided,  however,  that  no  award  shall  be  granted  under  any  such
supplement on terms which are more beneficial to such optionees than the terms permitted by this Plan.

5.8 Corporate Mergers, Acquisitions, Etc. The Board may also grant options under this Plan having
terms, conditions and provisions that vary from those specified in this Plan provided that such options are
granted in substitution for, or in connection with the assumption of, existing options granted, awarded or issued
by another corporation and assumed or otherwise agreed to be provided for by the Company pursuant to or by
reason  of  a  transaction  involving  a  corporate  merger,  consolidation,  acquisition  of  property  or  stock,
reorganization or liquidation to which the Company is a party.

5.9 Holding Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if a person subject to Section 16 of
the Exchange Act exercises an option within six months of the date of grant of the option, the shares of
Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the option may not be sold until six months after the date of grant of
the option.

5.10 Option Agreements. Options granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by written stock option
agreements (""Option Agreements'') which shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as

B-5

 
t
n
e
m
e
t
a
t
S
y
x
o
r
P

the Board shall deem advisable and which are consistent with this Plan. All Option Agreements shall include
or incorporate by reference the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Plan.

6. Stock Bonuses. The Board may award shares under this Plan as stock bonuses. Shares awarded as a
bonus shall be subject to the terms, conditions (including performance standards) and restrictions determined
by the Board. The restrictions may include restrictions concerning transferability and forfeiture of the shares
awarded, together with any other restrictions determined by the Board. The Board may require the recipient to
sign  an  agreement  as  a  condition  of  the  award,  but  may  not  require  the  recipient  to  pay  any  monetary
consideration  other  than  amounts  necessary  to  satisfy  all  federal,  state,  local  and  other  tax  withholding
requirements. The agreement may contain any terms, conditions, restrictions, representations and warranties
required by the Board. The certificates representing the shares awarded shall bear any legends required by the
Board. The Company may require any recipient of a stock bonus to pay to the Company in cash or by check
upon  demand  amounts  necessary  to  satisfy  any  applicable  federal,  state,  local  and  other  tax  withholding
requirements. If the recipient fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company or the Employer may withhold
that amount from other amounts payable to the recipient, including salary, subject to applicable law. With the
consent of the Board, a recipient may satisfy this obligation, in whole or in part, by instructing the Company to
withhold from any shares to be issued or by delivering to the Company other shares of Common Stock;
provided, however, that the number of shares so withheld or delivered shall not exceed the minimum amount
necessary to satisfy the required withholding obligation. Upon the issuance of a stock bonus, the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares issued, less the number
of shares withheld or delivered to satisfy withholding obligations.

7. Restricted Stock. The Board may issue shares under this Plan for any consideration (including
services and promissory notes) determined by the Board. Shares issued under this Plan shall be subject to the
terms, conditions (including performance standards) and restrictions determined by the Board. The restric-
tions may include restrictions concerning transferability, repurchase by the Company and forfeiture of the
shares  issued,  together  with  any  other  restrictions  determined  by  the  Board.  All  Common  Stock  issued
pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject to an agreement, which shall be executed by the Company and the
prospective recipient of the shares before the delivery of certificates representing the shares to the recipient.
The  purchase  agreement  may  contain  any  terms,  conditions,  restrictions,  representations  and  warranties
required by the Board. The certificates representing the shares shall bear any legends required by the Board.
The Company may require any recipient of restricted stock to pay to the Company in cash or by check upon
demand amounts necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state, local and other tax withholding require-
ments. If the recipient fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company or the Employer may withhold that
amount from other amounts payable to the recipient, including salary, subject to applicable law. With the
consent of the Board, a recipient may satisfy this obligation, in whole or in part, by instructing the Company to
withhold from any shares to be issued or by delivering to the Company other shares of Common Stock;
provided, however, that the number of shares so withheld or delivered shall not exceed the minimum amount
necessary to satisfy the required withholding obligation. Upon the issuance of restricted stock, the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares issued, less the number
of shares withheld or delivered to satisfy withholding obligations.

8. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

8.1 Stock Splits, Capital Stock Adjustments. The aggregate number and class of shares for which
options  and  awards  may  be  granted  under  this  Plan,  the  number  and  class  of  shares  covered  by  each
outstanding option and award and the exercise or purchase price per share thereof (but not the total price),
and each such option and award, shall all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a stock split, stock dividend or
consolidation of shares or any like capital stock adjustment.

8.2 Effect of Merger, Sale of Assets, Liquidation or Dissolution.

8.2.1 Termination Unless Assumption or Substitution. Upon the effective date of a merger, consolida-
tion or plan of exchange (other than a merger, consolidation or plan of exchange involving the Company in
which the holders of voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own at least 50%

of the voting power of the outstanding securities of the surviving corporation or a parent of the surviving
corporation  after  such  transaction),  or  a  sale  of  all  or  substantially  all  the  assets  of  the  Company,  or  a
liquidation  or  dissolution  of  the  Company,  the  Plan  and  any  option  theretofore  granted  hereunder  shall
terminate, and all restrictions and conditions (other than payment) of awards granted pursuant to Section 6 or
Section 7 shall terminate, unless provisions be made in writing in connection with such transaction for the
continuance of the Plan and for the assumption of options and awards theretofore granted, or the substitution
for such options or awards, with new options and awards covering the shares of a successor corporation, or a
parent, affiliate or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to number and kind of shares and prices
thereof, in which event the Plan and the options and awards granted under it, or the new options or awards
substituted therefor, shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided.

8.2.2 Exercise  and  Vesting.

If  provision  is  not  made  pursuant  to  the  preceding  Section  8.2.1  in
connection with such a transaction for the continuance of the Plan and for the assumption of options and
awards, or the substitution for such options and awards of new options and awards covering the shares of a
successor employer corporation or a parent, affiliate or subsidiary thereof, then each optionee under the Plan
shall be entitled, prior to the effective date of any such transaction, to exercise the option for the full number
of shares covered thereby, including any portion not yet vested (provided that the conditions of Section 5.6.4
and any other conditions specified in the Option Agreement shall have been met at the date of exercise of such
option) and all restrictions and conditions (other than payment) of awards shall lapse.

8.3 Fractional Shares.

In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any option
or award, any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be disregarded and each such option and
award shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment.

8.4 Determination of Board to Be Final. All adjustments under this Section 8 shall be made by the
Board, and its determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final,
binding and conclusive. Unless an optionee agrees otherwise, any change or adjustment to an Incentive Stock
Option shall be made, if possible, in such a manner so as not to constitute a ""modification,'' as defined in
Section 424(h) of the Code, and so as not to cause the optionee's Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.

9. Securities Regulations.

9.1 Compliance with Law. Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued with respect to an option or
award granted under this Plan unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares
pursuant to such option or award complies with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation,
any applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and
regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  applicable  laws  of  foreign  countries  and  other  jurisdictions  and  the
requirements of any quotation service or stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall
be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance, including the
availability of an exemption from registration for the issuance and sale of any shares hereunder. The inability
of  the  Company  to  obtain,  from  any  regulatory  body  having  jurisdiction,  the  authority  deemed  by  the
Company's  counsel  to  be  necessary  for  the  lawful  issuance  and  sale  of  any  shares  hereunder  or  the
unavailability of an exemption from registration for the issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve
the Company of any liability with respect of the nonissuance or sale of such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

9.2

Investment Purpose. As a condition to the exercise of an option or receipt of stock pursuant to an
award, the Company may require the optionee or awardee to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise or receipt that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired only for investment and without any
present  intention  to  sell  or  distribute  such  shares  if,  in  the  opinion  of  counsel  for  the  Company,  such  a
representation is required by any relevant provision of the aforementioned laws. The Company may place a
stop-transfer  order  against  any  shares  of  Common  Stock  on  the  official  stock  books  and  records  of  the
Company, and a legend may be stamped on stock certificates to the effect that the shares of Common Stock
may not be pledged, sold or otherwise transferred unless an opinion of counsel is provided (concurred in by
counsel for the Company) stating that such transfer is not in violation of any applicable law or regulation. The

B-7

 
t
n
e
m
e
t
a
t
S
y
x
o
r
P

Board  may  also  require  such  other  action  or  agreement  by  the  optionees  as  may  from  time  to  time  be
necessary  to  comply  with  the  federal  and  state  securities  laws.  THIS  PROVISION  SHALL  NOT
OBLIGATE THE COMPANY TO UNDERTAKE REGISTRATION OF THE OPTIONS OR STOCK
THEREUNDER OR ANY AWARDS UNDER THIS PLAN.

10. Amendment and Termination.

10.1 Plan. The Board may at any time suspend, amend or terminate this Plan, provided that, except as
set forth in Section 8, the approval of the Company's shareholders is necessary within 12 months before or
after the adoption by the Board of any amendment that will:

(a) increase the number of shares of Common Stock that are to be reserved for the issuance under

this Plan;

(b) permit the granting of stock options or awards to a class of persons other than those presently

permitted to receive stock options or awards under this Plan; or

(c) require shareholder approval under applicable law, including Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, or the regulations of any securities market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed
for trading or quotation.

10.2 Options. Subject to the requirements of Section 422 of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock
Options and to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, the Board may modify or
amend outstanding options and awards granted under this Plan, provided that, without the prior approval of
the Company's shareholders, no such modification or amendment, except for adjustments made pursuant to
Section 8.1 or as described in Section 8.2.1, shall reduce the exercise price of outstanding options issued under
this Plan, or cancel or amend outstanding options issued under this Plan for the purpose of repricing, replacing
or regranting such options with an exercise price that is less than the original exercise price (as adjusted
pursuant to Section 8.1 or as described in Section 8.2.1) of such options. The modification or amendment of
an outstanding option shall not, without the consent of the optionee or awardee, impair or diminish any of his
or her rights or any of the obligations of the Company under such option or award. Except as otherwise
provided in this Plan, no outstanding option or award shall be terminated without the consent of the optionee
or awardee. Unless the optionee agrees otherwise, any changes or adjustments made to outstanding Incentive
Stock  Options  granted  under  this  Plan  shall  be  made  in  such  a  manner  so  as  not  to  constitute  a
""modification,'' as defined in Section 424(h) of the Code, and so as not to cause any Incentive Stock Option
issued hereunder to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422(b) of
the Code.

10.3 Automatic Termination. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate ten
years from the date on which this Plan is adopted by the Board. No option or award may be granted after such
termination or during any suspension of this Plan. The amendment or termination of this Plan shall not,
without the consent of the optionee or awardee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any option and
award theretofore granted under this Plan.

11. Miscellaneous.

11.1 Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an option shall, for all purposes, be the date on
which the Company completes the required corporate action relating to the grant of an option; the execution
of an Option Agreement and the conditions to the exercise of an option shall not defer the date of grant.

11.2 No Status as Shareholder. The recipient of any award under the Plan shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock until the date the recipient becomes the holder of
record of those shares. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, no adjustment shall be made for
dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs before the date the recipient becomes the holder of
record.

11.3 Status as an Employee. Nothing in the Plan or any award pursuant to the Plan shall (i) confer
upon any employee any right to be continued in the employment of an Employer or interfere in any way with

B-8

 
the Employer's right to terminate the employee's employment at will at any time, for any reason, with or
without cause, or to decrease the employee's compensation or benefits, or (ii) confer upon any person engaged
by an Employer any right to be retained or employed by the Employer or to the continuation, extension,
renewal or modification of any compensation, contract or arrangement with or by the Employer.

11.4 Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, at all times will reserve and
keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of
this Plan.

12. Effectiveness of This Plan. This Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board so long as
it is duly approved by the Company's shareholders any time within 12 months after the adoption of this Plan.
No  option  granted  under  this  Plan  to  any  officer  or  director  of  the  Company  shall  become  exercisable,
however, until the Plan is approved by the shareholders, and any options and awards granted prior to such
approval shall be conditioned upon and are subject to such approval.

Adopted by the Board of Directors as of March 8, 2006, and approved by the Shareholders on June

Item 1. Business

General

PART I

We design, develop, manufacture, market and service high performance computer systems, commonly
known  as  supercomputers.  These  systems  provide  capability  and  capacity  far  beyond  typical  server-based
computer systems and address challenging scientiÑc and engineering computing problems for government,
industry and academia.

We are dedicated solely to the supercomputing market. We have concentrated our product roadmap on
building balanced systems combining highly capable processors (whether developed by ourselves or others)
along  with  highly  scalable  software  with  very  high  speed  interconnect  and  communications  capabilities
throughout the entire computing system, not solely from processor-to-processor. We believe we are very well
positioned  to  meet  the  high  performance  computing  market's  demanding  needs  by  providing  superior
supercomputer systems with performance and cost advantages over low-bandwidth and cluster systems when
sustained performance on challenging applications and workloads and total cost of ownership are taken into
account.

Our 2005 product revenue primarily came from sales of our three principal products, the Cray X1E, Cray
XT3 and Cray XD1 systems, and government funding for our Red Storm and Cascade development projects.
We also derive revenue from providing maintenance and support services to the worldwide installed base of
Cray computers and professional services that leverage our technical knowledge. See ""Product OÅerings,
Projects and Services'' below.

Our revenue, net income or loss and cash balances are likely to Öuctuate signiÑcantly from quarter to
quarter and within a quarter due to the high average sales prices and limited number of sales of our larger
products, the timing of purchase orders and product deliveries, our general policy of not recognizing product
revenue for our larger systems until customer acceptance and other contractual provisions have been fulÑlled,
and  the  uncertain  timing  of  payments  for  product  sales,  maintenance  services,  government  research  and
development funding, and inventory.

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington in December 1987. Our corporate
headquarter oÇces are located at 411 First Avenue South, Suite 600, Seattle, Washington, 98104-2860, our
telephone number is (206) 701-2000 and our website address is: www.cray.com. The contents of our website
are not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or our other SEC reports and Ñlings.

Our History

In  many  ways  our  current  history  began  on  April  1,  2000,  when  we,  as  Tera  Computer  Company,
acquired  the  operating  assets  of  the  Cray  Research  division  from  Silicon  Graphics,  Inc.  (""SGI''),  and
renamed ourselves Cray Inc. Tera Computer Company was founded in 1987 with the purpose of developing a
new  supercomputer  system  based  on  multithreaded  architecture.  In  early  2000  we  were  still  in  the
development stage with limited revenue and approximately 125 employees, almost all of whom were located in
our Seattle oÇce.

Cray Research, Inc., founded in 1972 by Seymour Cray, pioneered the use of vector systems in a variety
of market sectors and dominated the supercomputer market in the late 1970's and 1980's. Cray Research
introduced a series of vector-based systems, including the Cray 1, Y-MP, C90, J90, T90 and SV1 systems.
Cray  Research  also  developed  leading  high-bandwidth  massively  parallel  systems,  notably  the  Cray  T3E
system, using Alpha microprocessors from Digital Equipment and later Compaq Computer. In 1996 SGI
acquired Cray Research and cancelled the development of the successors to the only two U.S. produced
capability-class supercomputers at the time, the Cray T90 and T3E systems. In 1997 the U.S. government
imposed extensive anti-dumping duties on Japanese vector supercomputers, eÅectively preventing them from
entering  the  U.S.  market.  These  developments  combined  to  eliminate  the  availability  of  high-bandwidth
computer  systems  in  the  United  States  high  performance  computing  market,  greatly  diminishing  the
U.S. market's access to these systems. In 1998 SGI and the Department of Defense (""DOD'') entered into a
cost-sharing contract for the development of the Cray X1 system (then code-named the Cray SV2). In 1999
SGI announced that it would consider oÅers to purchase the Cray Research division.

Cray Research Acquisition

On April 1, 2000, we acquired the operating assets of the Cray Research business unit from SGI and
changed our corporate name to Cray Inc. In that transaction, we acquired the Cray product lines, the Cray X1
development  project  and  related  cost-sharing  contract,  a  worldwide  service  organization  supporting  Cray
supercomputers installed at customer sites, integration and Ñnal assembly operations, software products and
related experience and expertise, approximately 775 employees, product and service inventory, real property
located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and the Cray brand name. Pursuant to a technology agreement, SGI
assigned to us various patents and other intellectual property and licensed to us the rights to other patents and
intellectual  property.  As  part  of  the  acquisition,  we  assumed  responsibility  for  the  cost  of  servicing  the
Cray T90 vector computers. We agreed with SGI that we would not utilize speciÑed technology to develop
speciÑc successor products to the Cray T3E product line, and we agreed to limit our use of SGI's IRIX
operating system to the Cray X1 product family.

Post-Acquisition

Following the acquisition, we integrated our approximately 900 employees into one company, either had
service, sales and other contracts assigned to us or entered into new contracts with customers and vendors,
continued the development of the Cray X1 system and continued to sell the then-existing Cray products,
principally the Cray T3E and SV1 systems.

In May 2001 the U.S. anti-dumping order against Japanese vector supercomputers was lifted, NEC
Corporation invested $25 million in us and we became a distributor of the NEC SX series of supercomputers,
with exclusive rights in North America and non-exclusive rights outside of North America. In 2003 NEC sold
its investment in us, cancelled our exclusive rights and we became a non-exclusive distributor worldwide.

In 2001 and 2002 we focused our development eÅorts on the Cray X1 system; initial deliveries of the
Cray X1 system began in late 2002. The Cray X1 system, designed for the high end of the supercomputer
market, was the only new product we were selling in 2003 and the Ñrst three quarters of 2004. In 2004 we
developed the Cray X1E system that signiÑcantly increased the system's processor speed and capability; the
Ñrst Cray X1E system customer shipment occurred at the end of 2004.

In mid-2002 we began our Red Storm development project with Sandia National Laboratories to design
and  deliver  a  new  high-bandwidth,  massively  parallel  processing  supercomputer  system.  The  Red  Storm
hardware system was shipped in installments to Sandia, with the Ñnal hardware shipment in the Ñrst quarter of
2005, with further installation of component upgrades as they become available. Working with Sandia, we
developed and installed system software designed to run applications programs across the entire system of over
10,000 processors. Recently the Red Storm system became the Ñrst computer system to surpass the one
terabyte-per-second performance mark on the PTRANS interconnect bandwidth test, a key indicator of the
network's  total  communications  capability.  The  Red  Storm  project  provided  the  development  basis  for  a
commercial  product,  our  Cray  XT3  system,  targeting  the  need  for  highly  scalable,  high-bandwidth,
microprocessor-based supercomputers. The Cray XT3 system initial customer shipment occurred in the fourth
quarter of 2004, with full production ramp in the Ñrst half of 2005, and we expect that the Cray XT3 and
planned upgrade and successor systems will provide a majority of our product revenue in 2006 and be an
important revenue contributor in succeeding years.

In mid-2002 we also began work under a contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (""DARPA'') pursuant to its High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) program to develop a
system capable of sustained performance in excess of one petaÖops (1,000 trillion Öoating point operations per
second), which we call our Cascade program. We are currently completing phase 2 (the research phase) of
this project, which ends in mid-2006, and we intend to bid on phase 3 (the prototype phase) later this spring;
phase 3 awards are expected to be announced in July 2006.

On April 1, 2004, we acquired OctigaBay Systems Corporation, a privately-held company located in
Burnaby, B.C., Canada. OctigaBay was developing a balanced, high-bandwidth system, designed to be highly
reliable and easy-to-use, targeted for the midrange market. We renamed OctigaBay Systems Corporation as
Cray Canada Inc. and renamed the OctigaBay product as the Cray XD1 system. Initial commercial shipments
of the Cray XD1 system began late in the third quarter of 2004, with full production ramp in the Ñrst half of
2005. We plan to combine the capabilities of the Cray XD1 system with our Cray XT3 system into a single
product in 2007.

Discussions  that  relate  to  periods  prior  to  April  1,  2000,  refer  to  our  operations  as  Tera  Computer
Company, and discussions that relate to periods after April 1, 2000, refer to our combined operations as
Cray Inc.

The High Performance Computing Industry

Since the pioneering Cray-1 system arrived in 1976, supercomputers Ì often deÑned simply as the most
powerful class of computers at any time Ì have contributed substantially to the advancement of knowledge
and the quality of human life. Problems of major economic, scientiÑc and strategic importance typically are
addressed by supercomputers, which usually sell for several millions of dollars each, years before becoming
tractable with less capable systems. For scientiÑc applications, the increased need for computing power has
been driven by highly challenging problems that can be solved only through numerically intensive computation
and large data set manipulation. For engineering applications, high performance computers boost productivity
and decrease risk and the time to market for companies and products in a broad range of industries. The
U.S. government has recognized that the continued development of high performance computer systems is of

3

 
critical  importance  to  national  defense  and  the  economic,  scientiÑc  and  strategic  competitiveness  of  the
United States.

Increasing Demand for Supercomputer Power

Many applications promising future competitive and scientiÑc advantage demand 10 to 1,000 times more
supercomputer power than anything available today. We believe there are three principal factors driving the
demand  in  the  high  performance  computing  market:  the  continuing  demand  for  advanced  design  and
simulation capability, continuing concerns about national security issues and the recognized need to advance
scientiÑc research for domestic competitiveness of many countries around the world.

The  demand  for  design  capabilities  grows  seemingly  without  limit.  Weather  forecasting  and  climate
modeling centers need increasing computer speeds to handle larger volumes of data to produce more accurate
and localized short-term and longer-term forecasts and climate change models. Aerospace Ñrms envision more
eÇcient planes and space vehicles. Automotive companies are targeting increased passenger cabin comfort,
better fuel mileage and improved safety and handling. Using genomic and proteomic technologies for drug
development are areas of intensive research and substantial spending by research centers and biotechnology
and pharmaceutical companies.

Governments have a wide range of unmet security needs, heightened by an emphasis on anti-terrorism.
These  needs  primarily  relate  to  burgeoning  cryptanalysis  requirements  arising  from  a  more  diverse  and
growing number of sources and requirements for rapid and accurate analysis and integration of information
from many disparate sources. In addition, governments need better simulation and modeling of a wide range of
weapons and the computational ability to address various classiÑed applications.

In 2002 the Japanese government announced the completion of the Japanese Earth Simulator project.
This  high-bandwidth,  vector-based  system  remains  acknowledged  as  one  of  the  world's  most  powerful
installed computer systems with high sustained operating performance on real applications. The Japanese
Earth Simulator validated our proposition that high-bandwidth and sustained performance are critical, and has
provided  Japan  with  the  opportunity  to  lead  in  scientiÑc  research  in  Ñelds  such  as  weather  and  climate,
geophysics, nanotechnology and metallurgy.

The Advantages of Bandwidth

When we speak of ""bandwidth,'' we mean the rate at which processors can communicate with other

processors, with the system's internal memory subsystem and with input/output (""I/O'') connections.

Today's  high  performance  computer  market  is  replete  with  low-bandwidth  systems  and  oÅ-the-shelf
commodity-based cluster systems that loosely link together multiple commodity servers or personal computers
by  means  of  commercially  available  interconnect  products.  In  recent  years,  the  speed  and  capabilities  of
oÅ-the-shelf  interconnect  systems  and  processors  have  continued  to  improve,  and  independent  software
vendors have adapted their application codes to exploit the capabilities and partially mask the weaknesses of
these systems. These systems oÅer competitive price/performance on small problems and larger problems
lacking communications complexity.

We are dedicated solely to the supercomputing market. Although we are a comparatively small company,
we have invested signiÑcantly to develop advanced supercomputing systems. We diÅerentiate ourselves from
our competitors primarily by emphasizing the processing and communication capabilities of our systems. We
have concentrated our product roadmap on building balanced systems combining highly capable processors
(whether developed by ourselves or others) along with scalable software with very high speed interconnect and
communication  capabilities  throughout  the  entire  computing  system.  Our  supercomputer  systems  are
""balanced'' in that our systems are fast not only between processors but also between processors and memory
and I/O subsystems, allowing the entire system to scale to deliver the highest levels of capability so that users
may  run  their  largest  and  most  challenging  problems  signiÑcantly  faster.  Competitive  systems  may  use
processors  with  higher  rated  or  theoretical  speeds  than  some  of  our  systems Ì although  at  18  gigaÖops
(billions of Öoating point operations per second) our Cray X1E processor is currently one of the world's

4

fastest Ì but  even  in  those  cases  our  systems  typically  outperform  competing  products  on  the  most
challenging applications by using their high-bandwidth communications and scaling software capabilities to
deliver more data to the Cray processors and keep them busier and more eÇcient, especially at large scale.

As we design our supercomputer systems for the needs of the high performance computing market, we
say they are ""purpose-built'' for this market. Vendors of low-bandwidth systems, such as Dell and several
other companies building clusters with commercially available commodity technology, design and build their
processors and systems to meet the requirements of their larger commercial computer markets Ì for servers
and personal computers Ì and then attempt to leverage these commercial server-based products into the
supercomputer market.

Low-bandwidth and cluster systems may oÅer higher theoretical peak performance, for equivalent cost,
than  do  our  systems.  Theoretical  peak  performance  is  the  highest  theoretical  possible  speed  at  which  a
computer system could, but never does, operate (obtained simply by multiplying the number of processors by
the  designed  rated  peak  speed  of  each  processor,  assuming  no  bottlenecks  or  ineÇciences).  Sustained
performance, always lower than peak, is the actual speed at which a supercomputer system runs an application
program. The sustained performance of low-bandwidth and cluster systems on complex applications frequently
is a small fraction, often less than 5-10%, of their theoretical peak performance, and as these systems become
larger, their eÇciency declines even further, sometimes below 1% for the most challenging applications. Our
systems,  designed  for  balanced  total  system  communications  capability,  provide  high  actual  sustained
performance  on  diÇcult  computational  problems,  even  though  in  some  cases  they  may  have  a  lower
theoretical peak performance than competitors' systems. While sustained performance may vary widely on
diÅerent  applications,  our  systems  generally  operate  on  a  sustained  basis  from  1.5  to  10  times  that  of
competitors' systems. We expect our systems to provide price/performance advantages over low-bandwidth
and cluster systems when actual performance on real applications is taken into account.

The advent of the Cray X1 system in late 2002 provided the Ñrst new high-bandwidth alternative for the
U.S. high-end high performance computer customers since the mid-1990's. Our introduction in late 2004 of
the Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems extended the availability of high-bandwidth systems to systems that use
commodity processors.

The High Performance Computing Market

Industry analyst Ñrm, International Data Corporation (""IDC''), provides information regarding the high
performance computing systems market, including historical data and projections. IDC preliminarily esti-
mates that the revenue for the entire high performance technical computing market totaled approximately
$9.1 billion in 2005. IDC segments the high performance computing systems market based on prices and, at
the higher end, intended use. IDC descriptions and estimates of revenue in recent years for each of these
segments (preliminary estimates for 2005) follow:

‚ Capability. Systems conÑgured and purchased to solve the largest, most demanding problems, and
generally priced at $1 million or more. The size of the capability segment has ranged in recent years
from about $800 million to $1.2 billion, with 2005 estimated revenue of $870 million.

‚ Enterprise. Systems purchased to support technical applications in throughput environments and sold

for $1.0 million or more, with 2005 estimated revenue of $1.2 billion.

‚ Divisional. Systems purchased to support technical applications in throughput environments and sold

for $250,000 to $999,999, with 2005 estimated revenue of $1.9 billion.

‚ Departmental. Systems purchased to support technical applications in throughput environments and

sold for $50,000 to $250,000, with 2005 estimated revenue of $2.9 billion.

‚ Workgroup. Systems purchased to support technical applications in throughput environments and

sold for less than $50,000, with 2005 estimated revenue of $2.2 billion.

We focus on the capability segment of the high performance computing market where the features we are
known  for Ì high  speed  processors  coupled  with  very  fast  communications Ì are  widely  recognized  as

5

 
necessary to solve the world's most diÇcult computing problems. With the Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems,
our addressable market expanded into parts of the enterprise segment.

Our Target Market and Customers

Our target markets for 2006 and beyond principally include the government/classiÑed, scientiÑc research,
weather/environmental, and automotive, aerospace and manufacturing markets. In certain of our targeted
markets,  such  as  the  government/classiÑed  and  scientiÑc  research  markets,  customers  have  their  own
application programs and are accustomed to using new, less proven systems. Other target customers, such as
automotive and aerospace Ñrms and some governmental agencies, require third-party application programs in
production environments.

Government/ClassiÑed

Government agencies have represented a signiÑcant segment for Cray Research and ourselves for many
years. Certain governmental departments continue to provide funding support for our research and develop-
ment  eÅorts  to  meet  their  objectives.  We  expect  long-term  spending  on  national  security  and  defense  to
increase. Current and target customers for our products include DOD classiÑed customers and parts of the
Department of Energy, which funds the Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory and
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and certain foreign counterparts.

ScientiÑc Research

The scientiÑc research segment includes both unclassiÑed governmental and academic research laborato-
ries and centers. The DOD, through its Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program, funds
a number of research organizations. Network Computing Services, Inc., the system integrator for the Army
High  Performance  Computing  Research  Center  in  Minneapolis,  the  U.S.  Army  Corps  of  Engineers'
Engineering, Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the Corp's Major Shared
Resource  Center,  and  the  Arctic  Region  Supercomputing  Center  in  Fairbanks,  for  example,  were  early
purchasers of our Cray X1 system, and the Army Center upgraded its Cray X1 system to a Cray X1E system.
The  OÇce  of  Science  in  the  Department  of  Energy,  which  funds  the  Oak  Ridge  National  Laboratory,
Argonne National Laboratory and National Energy Research ScientiÑc Computing Center, is a key target
customer as is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a
signiÑcant customer for Cray X1, X1E and XT3 systems and related services. The Pittsburgh Supercomputing
Center,  funded  by  the  National  Science  Foundation,  has  acquired  a  Cray  XT3  system  with  10  teraÖops
(trillions of calculations per second) peak performance, and ERDC recently accepted a Cray XT3 system
with  20  teraÖops  peak  performance.  The  Maui  High  Performance  Computing  Center,  a  U.S.  Air  Force
Research  Laboratory's  Directed  Energy  Directorate  facility  funded  by  the  Defense  High  Performance
Computing  Modernization  Program,  acquired  a  Cray  XD1  system  with  a  peak  performance  of  about
1.4  teraÖops  to  increase  the  Center's  capabilities  in  space  surveillance  and  image  processing.  Cray  XD1
systems  have  been  acquired  by  governmental  and  academic  research  laboratories  and  centers  in  Italy,
Germany, India, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Weather/Environmental

Weather forecasting and climate modeling applications require increasing speed and larger volumes of
data and thus are targets for our high-bandwidth systems. Cray supercomputers are used in weather centers
worldwide, from the United Kingdom to Korea. We have installed Cray X1 and Cray X1E systems at the
Spanish  National  Institute  of  Meteorology  and  the  Korea  Meteorological  Administration,  where  the
Cray X1E system is the most powerful operational weather forecasting system in the world.

Automotive, Aerospace and Manufacturing

These industries use supercomputers to design lighter, safer and more durable vehicles as well as to study
wind noise and airÖow around the vehicle and in many other computer-aided engineering applications. Several

of  the  major  automobile  companies  and  aerospace  companies  are  Cray  customers.  We  have  installed  a
Cray X1 system at The Boeing Company, which uses the system primarily to run structural analysis and
computational Öuid dynamics codes. The Cray XD1 system, especially in larger conÑgurations, has demon-
strated early impressive results on certain automotive crash, computational Öuid dynamics and other important
manufacturing applications, with both Toyota Auto Body and Sony Corporation in Japan as recent customers.

Product OÅerings, Projects and Services

Our supercomputing products provide high-bandwidth and other capabilities needed for exploiting new
and existing market opportunities. Among supercomputer vendors, our intent is to oÅer the most scalable and
highest (sustained) performing systems in the high performance computing market. Our goal is to bring major
enhancements and/or new products to market every 12 to 24 months using both custom and commodity
processor-based supercomputers.

Current Products

Cray XT3 System

The  Cray  XT3  system  uses  Advanced  Micro  Devices  Inc.  (""AMD'')  single-core  and  dual-core
OpteronTM processors connected via our high-bandwidth interconnect network. It incorporates a massively
parallel optimized operating system and a standards-based programming environment designed to deliver very
high sustained application performance in conÑgurations from 200 to 30,000 processors. The Cray XT3 system
features a tightly integrated management system to provide high reliability and to run full-system applications
to completion. The Cray XT3 system is based on the Red Storm architecture we co-developed with Sandia
National Laboratories. We began shipments of early versions of the Cray XT3 system in the fourth quarter of
2004, with full production ramp in the Ñrst half of 2005. Our selling focus for the Cray XT3 systems covers a
range of peak performance from one to over 100 teraÖops. List selling prices for a one cabinet system start at
under $2 million. We expect the Cray XT3 system, including planned upgrade and successor systems, to
provide a majority of our product revenue in 2006 and to be an important revenue contributor in succeeding
years.

Cray X1E System

In late 2002 we completed hardware development of the new Cray X1 system, which incorporates in its
design both vector-processing capabilities from the long line of Cray Research vector systems and massively
parallel capabilities analogous to those of our prior generation Cray T3E system. Designed to provide eÇcient
scalability and high-bandwidth to run complex applications at high sustained speeds, the Cray X1 system is an
""extreme performance'' supercomputer aimed at the high end of the vector processing and massively parallel
systems markets. We commenced delivering production systems late in the fourth quarter of 2002. In 2003 we
enhanced the Cray X1 system hardware and software, ported application programs to provide the features and
stability required in a production environment by governmental and industrial users, and delivered ever-larger
integrated  systems.  The  Cray  X1E  system,  Ñrst  shipped  in  December  2004,  nearly  triples  the  peak
performance of the Cray X1 system and features one of the world's most powerful processors, at 18 gigaÖops.
Our selling focus for the Cray X1E system covers a range of performance from 500 gigaÖops to 20 teraÖops.
Many of our Cray X1 customers upgraded to Cray X1E systems. The last Cray X1E system will ship in 2006
as we Ñnish development of a successor system, code-named ""BlackWidow,'' designed to improve system
performance and scalability for delivery in 2007.

Cray XD1 System

The Cray XD1 system, like the Cray XT3 system, is a purpose-built, balanced high-bandwidth system
that  employs  standard  microprocessors  but  is  designed  for  the  mid-range  market.  It  provides  superior
sustained application performance employing the direct connected processor architecture to link processors
directly to each other and memory, eliminating interconnect bottlenecks and providing greater bandwidth and
lower latency than typical cluster systems currently available. The Cray XD1 system leverages high volume

7

 
technologies such as AMD's HyperTransport and Opteron technologies. It also uses a Linux-based operating
system  in  connection  with  our  automated  management  infrastructure  and  provides  the  opportunity  to
accelerate application performance through the use of Ñeld programmable gate arrays. Our selling focus for
the Cray XD1 system ranges from 58 gigaÖops to over 2.5 teraÖops with processor counts from 12 to more
than 512. List prices for one unit (chassis) systems start at under $100,000, with multiple units providing
enhanced application scaling performance. We plan to combine the capabilities of the Cray XD1 system with
our Cray XT3 system into a single product in 2007.

Resale of Products of Other Companies

We  oÅer  the  NEC  SX  series  of  vector  supercomputers  on  a  non-exclusive  basis,  and  sell  to  our
supercomputer customers storage systems from DataDirect Networks, Inc., Engenio Storage Group of LSI
Logic Corporation, and Advanced Digital Information Corporation. We do not expect to record signiÑcant
revenue in 2006 from this activity.

Current Projects

Cascade Project

In mid-2002 DARPA selected Cray and four other companies for phase 1 of its HPCS program leading
to  the  development  of  a  commercially  available  high  productivity  system  capable  of  running  real-world
applications  with  sustained  performance  in  excess  of  one  petaÖops  by  2010.  In  addition  to  having  high
sustained performance, the resulting system is to be designed to be much easier to program, more broadly
applicable and more robust than current designs. In mid-2003 we signed a phase 2 research agreement with
DARPA that provided us and our research partners, Stanford University, California Institute of Technology/
Jet Propulsion Laboratories and the University of Notre Dame, with just under $50 million over three years to
investigate advanced design concepts for the petaÖops system. IBM and Sun Microsystems received similar
awards. We expect to complete phase 2 in July 2006 and we are preparing our bid for phase 3, the prototype
phase. In July 2006 DARPA is expected to select one or two vendors for phase 3 with initial prototype
deliveries  scheduled  for  late  2010.  Phase  3  awards  are  expected  to  be  in  the  range  of  $200  million  to
$250 million each, payable over about Ñve years, with awardees contributing a signiÑcant portion of the total
costs.

Red Storm

In mid-2002 we contracted with Sandia National Laboratories to design and deliver a new massively
parallel 40-teraÖop processing system, called Red Storm, that uses over 10,000 Opteron processors from AMD
connected via our low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnect network based on HyperTransport technology.
The Red Storm project involves critical network and operating system development. We completed delivery
and installation of the Red Storm hardware at Sandia in the Ñrst quarter of 2005, with subsequent installation
of certain component upgrades as they become available. Together with Sandia, we developed and installed
system  software  designed  to  run  applications  programs  across  the  entire  system.  In  November  2005  we
announced that we will expand the Red Storm system to more than 14,000 Opteron processors with a peak
performance  of  more  than  50  teraÖops  (trillions  of  calculations  per  second)  from  its  current  40-teraÖop
capacity.

Other Research and Development Activities

We are involved in several substantial research projects to develop vector, multithreaded and commodity
processor-based oÅerings that will continue to advance performance and scalability. These activities include
successors to the Cray XT3 system, with an upgrade system scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of
2006;  a  successor  to  the  Cray  X1/X1E  line,  code-named  BlackWidow,  with  initial  product  deliveries
scheduled  for  2007;  and  continued  development  of  our  multithreaded  system,  code-named  our  Eldorado
project, with initial product deliveries scheduled for 2007. We have established a long-term vision, which we
refer  to  as  ""Adaptive  Supercomputing,''  to  support  the  anticipated  future  needs  of  high  performance

computing customers. With Adaptive Supercomputing, the concept of heterogeneous computing Ì access to
multiple  processor  technologies Ì is  expanded  to  a  fully  integrated  view  of  both  hardware  and  software
supporting  multiple  processing  technologies  within  a  single  system.  We  believe  we  have  a  signiÑcant
foundation in making this vision a reality because of our unique background in custom processor architectures,
including vector and multithreaded technologies, as well as commodity and new co-processor technologies
such as Ñeld programmable gate arrays. Our plan is to increasingly integrate these processing technologies
over the next few years into a single Linux-based platform. We expect to include powerful compilers and
related software that will analyze and match application code to the most appropriate processing elements,
which  is  expected  to  allow  programmers  to  write  code  in  a  more  natural  way  and  users  to  beneÑt  from
substantially better performance.

These projects are expensive undertakings in terms of dollars, people and time. We seek government
funding, such as funding provided for the Red Storm, Cascade, Cray X1/X1E, BlackWidow and Eldorado
projects, to help defray the costs of this advanced research and development.

Services

Our extensive worldwide maintenance and support organization provides us with a competitive advantage
and  a  predictable  Öow  of  revenue  and  cash.  Support  services  are  provided  under  separate  maintenance
contracts  with  our  customers.  These  contracts  generally  provide  for  support  services  on  an  annual  basis,
although some cover multiple years. While most customers pay for support monthly, others pay on a quarterly
or annual basis.

Our  professional  services  organization  supports  our  emphasis  on  providing  solutions  rather  than  just
computer  systems  to  our  customers.  This  organization  provides  consulting,  integration  of  Cray  products,
custom  hardware  and  software  engineering,  advanced  computer  training,  site  engineering,  data  center
operation and project management services. These services leverage our reputation and skills for services and
industry technical leadership.

Technology

Our  leadership  in  the  high  performance  computer  industry  depends  on  successful  development  and
introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products. Our research and development activities
are focused on system architecture, hardware and software necessary to implement our product roadmap.

Architecture

We believe we are the only company in the world with signiÑcant demonstrated expertise in four primary
processor technologies: vector processing, massively parallel processing, multithreading and co-processing with
Ñeld programmable gate arrays.

Cray Research pioneered the use of vector systems, from the Cray-1 to the Cray T90 systems. These
systems traditionally have used a moderate number (one to 32) of very fast custom processors in connection
with a shared memory. Vector processing has proven to be highly eÅective for many scientiÑc and engineering
application programs that have been written to maximize the number of long vectors. The system stemming
from our BlackWidow project will have the same basic attributes as our current Cray X1E system but will
provide increased performance and scalability.

Massively parallel processing architectures typically link hundreds or thousands of standard or commod-
ity  processors  to  work  either  on  multiple  tasks  at  the  same  time  or  together  in  concert  on  a  single
computationally-intensive  task.  We  focus  on  building  massive  parallel  processing  systems  with  scalable
architectures using high-bandwidth interconnect networks. These systems are best suited for large computing
problems that can be segmented into many parts and distributed across a large number of processors. Both the
Cray XT3 and the Cray XD1 systems are based on this concept.

Multithreading technology was the core concept behind the original supercomputers designed by Tera
Computer. We are currently developing a new generation of multithreading systems as part of our Eldorado

project which is being designed to deliver high sustained speed on challenging applications requiring sparse
access to very large data sets, provide scalability as systems increase in size and have balanced I/O capability.
The multithreading processors make the system latency tolerant and, with shared memory, are able to address
data anywhere in the system.

The Cray XD1 system introduced the concept of reconÑgurable computing with Ñeld programmable gate
arrays to our product portfolio. The Ñeld programmable gate arrays can be reconÑgured or reprogrammed to
implement speciÑc functionality more suitable and more eÇciently than on a general-purpose processor.

Hardware

We  have  extensive  experience  in  designing  all  of  the  components  of  high  performance  computer
systems Ì the processors, the interconnect system and controls, the I/O system and the supporting cooling
infrastructure Ì to operate together. Our hardware research and development experience includes:

‚ Integrated  circuit  design Ì we  have  experience  in  designing  custom  and  standard  cell  integrated
circuits. Our processors and other integrated circuits have special features that let them use the high
available memory bandwidth eÇciently.

‚ High speed interconnect systems Ì we design high speed interconnect systems using a combination of
custom I/O circuits, high density connectors and carefully chosen transmission media together with
complex memory and cache controls to operate with our network protocols and highly optimized logic
design. We are investigating the use of optical interconnects for future systems.

‚ Printed circuit board design Ì our printed circuit boards are some of the most sophisticated in the

world, some with more than 40 layers packed with wires and inter-layer connections.

‚ System I/O Ì we design high performance I/O interfaces that deliver high-bandwidth transfer rates

and large capacity storage capabilities using low cost devices in highly reliable conÑgurations.

‚ Packaging and cooling Ì we use very dense packaging in order to produce systems with the necessary
bandwidth at reasonable costs. This generates more heat per unit volume. We use specialized cooling
techniques  to  address  this  issue,  including  immersion,  conductive  and  spray  cooling  using  various
liquids and high volume air cooling.

Our hardware engineers are located primarily in our Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and Seattle, Washing-

ton, oÇces.

Software

We  have  extensive  experience  in  designing  and  developing  software  for  high  performance  computer
systems.  This  includes  the  operating  system,  the  hardware  supervisory  system  and  the  programming
environment. Our software research and development experience includes:

‚ Operating Systems Ì For our Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems, we exploit and enhance commer-
cially available versions of the Linux operating system. Additionally, on our Cray XT3 systems, we
develop and support a micro-kernel for the compute resources. On the Cray X1E, multithreading and
NEC SX systems, we currently provide and support separate UNIX-based operating systems. In the
future, we anticipate that all of our systems will exploit commercial versions of Linux for all nodes.

‚ Hardware  Supervisory  Systems  (HSS) Ì For  all  of  our  systems,  we  provide  a  scalable  hardware
control infrastructure for managing hardware, including power control, monitoring of environmental
data and hardware diagnostics. In the future, we anticipate providing a common HSS infrastructure for
all of our systems.

‚ Programming Environment Ì For our Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems, we exploit commercially
available compilers and tools. We also provide Cray developed tools that make our systems easier to
optimize. For our Cray X1E and multithreading systems, we develop our own compilers and tools.

support to our customers, while focusing our own resources where we believe we add the highest value.

Our  software  personnel  are  located  principally  in  our  Mendota  Heights,  Minnesota,  and  Seattle,

Washington, oÇces.

Sales and Marketing

We primarily sell our products through a direct sales force that operates throughout the United States
and in Europe, Canada, Japan and Asia-PaciÑc. We serve smaller foreign markets through sales representa-
tives. About half of our sales force is located in the United States and Canada, with the rest overseas. Our
marketing  staÅ  has  a  strategic  focus  on  our  target  markets  and  those  solutions  that  will  facilitate  our
customers'  success  in  solving  their  most  challenging  scientiÑc  and  engineering  problems.  Our  marketing
personnel are located in the United States and Canada.

In 2005, one customer, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (""ORNL''), accounted for approximately 18% of
our total revenue. In 2004, one customer, Sandia National Laboratories, through our Red Storm project,
accounted  for  27%  of  our  total  revenue.  In  2003,  one  customer,  ORNL,  accounted  for  11%  of  our  total
revenue. Agencies of the United States government, both directly and indirectly through system integrators
and other resellers, accounted for approximately 55% of our 2005 revenue, 72% of our 2004 revenue and 74%
of our 2003 revenue. Information with respect to our international operations and export sales is set forth in
Note 17 Ì Segment Information of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Manufacturing and Procurement

While  we  design  many  of  the  hardware  components  for  all  of  our  products,  we  subcontract  the
manufacture of, or buy common-oÅ-the-shelf technology for, all major assemblies of our systems, including
integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, Öex circuits, memory modules, machined enclosures and support
structures, cooling systems, high performance cables and other items to third-party suppliers. Our manufactur-
ing strategy is on build-to-order systems, focusing on obtaining competitive assembly and component costs and
concentrating on the Ñnal assembly, test and quality assurance stages. This strategy allows us to avoid the large
capital  commitment  and  overhead  associated  with  establishing  full-scale  manufacturing  facilities  and  to
maintain the Öexibility to adopt new technologies as they become available without the risk of equipment
obsolescence, provide near real-time conÑguration changes to exploit faster and/or less expensive technolo-
gies, and provide a higher level of large scale system quality. We perform Ñnal system integration, testing and
check out of our hardware systems. Our manufacturing personnel are located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

Our  systems  incorporate  some  components  that  are  available  from  one  or  limited  sources,  often
containing Cray proprietary designs. Such components include integrated circuits, interconnect systems and
certain memory devices. Prior to development of a particular product, proprietary components are competi-
tively bid to a shortlist of technology partners. The technology partner that provides the best solution for the
component  is  generally  awarded  the  contract  for  the  life  of  the  component.  Once  we  have  engaged  a
technology partner, changing our product designs to utilize another supplier's integrated circuits would be a
costly and time-consuming process. We also have sole or limited sources for less critical components, such as
peripherals, power supplies, cooling and chassis hardware. We obtain key integrated circuits from IBM for our
Cray X1E and Cray XT3 systems, from Texas Instruments Incorporated (""TI'') for our BlackWidow project
and  from  Taiwan  Semiconductor  Manufacturing  Company  for  our  Eldorado  project  and  commodity
processors from AMD for our Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems. Our procurements from these vendors are
primarily through purchase orders. We have chosen to deal with sole sources in speciÑc cases due to the
availability of speciÑc technologies, economic advantages and other factors. Reliance on single or limited
source vendors involves several risks, including the possibility of shortages of key components, long lead times,
reduced control over delivery schedules and changes in direction by vendors. See ""Item 1A. Risk Factors Ì
Our reliance on third-party supplies poses signiÑcant risks to our business and prospects'' below.

Competition

The high performance computing market is very competitive. Many of our competitors are established
companies that are well known in the high performance computing market, including IBM, NEC, Hewlett-
Packard, SGI, Dell, Bull S.A. and Sun Microsystems. Most of these competitors have substantially greater
research, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and Ñnancial resources than we do.

We also compete with systems builders and resellers of systems that are constructed from commodity
components using microprocessors manufactured by Intel, AMD, IBM and others. These competitors include
the previously named companies as well as smaller Ñrms, such as Linux Networx and Verari Systems, that
beneÑt from the low research and development costs needed to assemble systems from commercially available
commodity products. These companies have capitalized on developments in parallel processing and increased
computer performance in commodity-based networking and cluster systems. While these companies' products
are more limited in applicability and scalability, they have achieved growing market acceptance. They oÅer
signiÑcant performance and price/peak performance on smaller problems and on larger problems lacking
complexity, which is a part of the growing capacity computing marketplace (as opposed to the capability
marketplace that is our focus). Such companies, because they can oÅer high peak performance per dollar,
often put pricing pressure on us in competitive procurements.

Internationally we compete primarily with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, SGI and NEC.
While the Ñrst four companies oÅer large systems based on commodity processors, NEC also oÅers vector-
based systems with a large suite of ported application programs. We have non-exclusive rights to market NEC
vector processing supercomputers throughout the world. As in the United States, high performance computing
suppliers like Dell, Linux Networx and Bull oÅer systems with signiÑcantly better price/peak performance.

We  compete  primarily  on  the  basis  of  product  performance,  breadth  of  features,  price/performance,
scalability, quality, reliability, service and support, corporate reputation, brand image and account relation-
ships. Our market approach is more focused than our competitors, as we concentrate solely on supercomput-
ing,  with  products  designed  for  the  needs  of  this  speciÑc  market.  We  oÅer  systems  that  provide  greater
performance on the largest, most diÇcult computational problems and superior price/performance on many
important applications in the capability market. Our systems often oÅer total cost of ownership advantages as
they typically use less electric power and cooling for operations and cooling and occupy less space than low-
bandwidth and cluster systems.

Intellectual Property

We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary rights through formal agreements with our
employees, customers, suppliers and consultants, and through patent protection. Although we intend to protect
our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that our contractual and other security arrangements will be
successful. There can be no assurance that such arrangements will not be terminated or that we will be able to
enter into similar arrangements on favorable terms if required in the future. In addition, if such agreements
were breached, there can be no assurance that we would have adequate remedies for any breach.

We have a number of patents and pending patent applications relating to our hardware and software
systems. We license certain patents and other intellectual property from SGI as part of our acquisition of the
Cray  Research  operations.  These  licenses  contain  restrictions  on  our  use  of  the  underlying  technology,
generally limiting the use to historic Cray products, vector processor computers and the Cray X1/X1E system.
Our general policy is to seek patent protection for those inventions and improvements likely to be incorporated
into  our  products  and  services  or  to  give  us  a  competitive  advantage.  While  we  believe  our  patents  and
applications have value, no single patent or group of patents is in itself essential to us as a whole or to any of
our key products. Any of our proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and may not
provide signiÑcant competitive advantage.

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  steps  we  take  will  be  adequate  to  protect  or  prevent  the
misappropriation of our intellectual property. We may infringe or be subject to claims that we infringe the
intellectual property rights of others. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce patents we obtain,

and to protect copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and know-how we own, or to defend infringement claims
from others. Such litigation could result in substantial expense to us and a diversion of our eÅorts.

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, we employed 787 employees. We have no collective bargaining agreement with
our employees. We have not experienced a work stoppage and believe that our employee relations are very
good.

Available Information

Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and
amendments to those reports Ñled or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act are available free of charge at our website at www.cray.com as soon as reasonably practicable after we Ñle
such  reports  with  the  SEC  electronically.  In  addition,  we  have  set  forth  our  Code  of  Business  Conduct,
Corporate Governance Guidelines, the charters of our Board committees and other governance documents on
our website, www.cray.com, under ""Investors Ì Corporate Governance.''

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following factors should be considered in evaluating our business, operations and prospects; they may
aÅect our future results and Ñnancial condition and they may aÅect an investment in our securities. Factors
speciÑc to our 3.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the ""Notes'') and our common stock
are set forth under the subheading ""Risk Factors Pertaining to Our Notes and Our Common Stock'' below.

Risk Factors Pertaining to Our Business and Operations

Our  operating  results  may  Öuctuate  signiÑcantly. Our  operating  results  are  subject  to  signiÑcant
Öuctuations due to the factors listed below, which make planning revenue and earnings for any speciÑc period
very diÇcult. We experienced net losses in each full year of our development-stage operations prior to 2002.
For 2002 we had net income of $5.4 million and for 2003 we had net income of $63.2 million (including an
income tax beneÑt of $42.2 million, much of which came from the reversal of a valuation allowance against
deferred  tax  assets).  For  2004  we  had  a  net  loss  of  $207.4  million  (including  an  expense  for  in-process
research and development of $43.4 million and an income tax expense of $59.1 million, of which $58.9 million
related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets) and for 2005 we had a net
loss of $64.3 million.

Whether we will achieve anticipated revenue and net income on a quarterly and annual basis in 2006 and

subsequent years depends on a number of factors, including:

‚ successfully selling the Cray XT3, Cray X1E and Cray XD1 systems, including upgrades and successor
systems, new products, and the timing and funding of government purchases, especially in the United
States;

‚ the level of product margin contribution in any given period;

‚ maintaining our other product development projects on schedule and within budgetary limitations;

‚ the level of revenue recognized in any given period, particularly for the high average sales prices and
limited  number  of  sales  of  our  larger  systems  in  any  quarter,  including  the  timing  of  product
acceptances by customers and contractual provisions aÅecting revenue recognition;

‚ revenue  delays  or  losses  due  to  customers  postponing  purchases  to  await  future  upgraded  or  new
systems, delays in delivery of upgraded or new systems and longer than expected customer acceptance
cycles;

‚ our expense levels, including research and development net of government funding, which may be

aÅected by the timing of such funding;

13

F
o
r
m

K

 
‚ the terms and conditions of sale or lease for our products;

‚ whether we conclude that all or some part of our recorded goodwill has been impaired, which may be
due to changes in our business plans and strategy and/or a decrease in our fair value (i.e., the market
value of our outstanding shares of common stock); and

‚ the  impact  of  expensing  our  stock-based  compensation  under  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting

Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (""SFAS No. 123(R)'').

The timing of orders and shipments and quarterly and annual results also could be aÅected by additional

events outside our control, such as:

‚ the timely availability of acceptable components in suÇcient quantities to meet customer delivery

schedules;

‚ timing of government funding for products and research and development contracts;

‚ changes in levels of customer capital spending;

‚ the introduction or announcement of competitive products;

‚ the receipt and timing of necessary export licenses; and

‚ currency Öuctuations, international conÖicts or economic crises.

Because of the numerous factors aÅecting our revenue and results of operations, we cannot assure our
investors that we will have net income on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We currently anticipate that
our quarterly results in 2006 will vary signiÑcantly, with a major portion of our revenue to be recognized in the
second half of the year. Delays in product development, receipt of orders or product acceptances could have a
substantial adverse eÅect on our 2006 results.

Failure to sell Cray XT3 and upgrade systems in planned quantities and margins would adversely aÅect
2006 revenue and earnings. We expect that a majority of our product revenue in 2006 will come from a
limited number of sales of the Cray XT3 system and an upgraded system to governmental purchasers in the
United States and overseas. We have not yet signed contracts for a majority of these system sales, and if we
fail  to  receive  such  contracts,  our  2006  performance  would  be  adversely  aÅected.  We  do  not  expect  to
complete development of the upgrade system until the fourth quarter of 2006, and thus completion of delivery,
installation and customer acceptance in the fourth quarter is at signiÑcant risk. The availability of an upgrade
system may also adversely aÅect sales of Cray XT3 systems in 2006 if customers decide to wait until 2007 to
receive the upgrade system. We also face signiÑcant margin pressure for our Cray XT3 system and other
commodity processor-based products from competitors.

Improved future performance is highly dependent on increased product revenue and margins.

In 2005,
we had lower revenue and margins than anticipated for our principal products. Product revenue was adversely
aÅected by delays in product shipments due to development delays, including system software development for
large systems, and at times by the availability of key components from third party vendors. Product margins
have  been  adversely  impacted  by  competitive  pressures,  lower  volumes  than  planned  and  higher  than
anticipated  manufacturing  variances,  including  scrap,  rework  and  excess  and  obsolete  inventory.  We
sometimes do not meet all of the contract requirements for customer acceptance of our systems, which has
resulted in contract penalties. Most often these penalties adversely aÅect the gross margin on a sale through
the  provision  of  additional  equipment  and  services  to  satisfy  delivery  delays  and  performance  shortfalls,
although there is the risk of contract defaults and product return. The risk of contract penalties is increased
when we bid for new business prior to completion of product development.

To improve our Ñnancial performance, we need to receive higher margin orders, particularly for the Cray
XT3 and its upgrade system; deliver shipments of new products on time, particularly the upgrade to the Cray
XT3 system in the fourth quarter of 2006; limit negative manufacturing variances, contract penalties and other
charges that adversely aÅect product margin; and complete the Red Storm project without additional losses.

Our inability to overcome the technical challenges of completing the development of our supercomputer
systems would adversely aÅect our revenue and earnings in 2006 and beyond. Our success in 2006 and in the
following years depends on completing development of hardware and software enhancements to the Cray XT3
systems, including the timely and successful introduction of dual-core processor technology and successfully
completing, shipping and recognizing revenue for an upgrade to the Cray XT3 system by the fourth quarter of
2006. We also must successfully and timely complete several key projects on our product roadmap, including
the products based on our BlackWidow and Eldorado projects for 2007 revenue and successor systems to the
Cray  XT3.  These  hardware  and  software  development  eÅorts  are  lengthy  and  technically  challenging
processes, and require a signiÑcant investment of capital, engineering and other resources. Our engineering
and  technical  personnel  resources  are  limited,  have  suÅered  from  increased  turnover,  and  our  employee
restructurings have strained our engineering resources further. Unanticipated performance and/or develop-
ment issues may require more engineers or time or testing resources than are available currently. Given the
breadth  of  our  engineering  challenges  and  our  limited  resources,  we  periodically  review  the  anticipated
contributions and expense of our product programs to determine their long-term viability. We may not be
successful in meeting our development schedules for technical reasons and/or because of insuÇcient hardware
and software engineering resources. Delays in completing the design of the hardware components, including
several  custom  integrated  circuits,  and  developing  requisite  system  software,  operating  system  software
stability, needed software features and integrating the full systems, would make it diÇcult for us to develop
and market these systems timely and successfully and could cause a lack of conÑdence in our capabilities
among our key customers. We have suÅered signiÑcantly from product delays in the past, especially in 2004
and 2005, that adversely aÅected our Ñnancial performance, and may incur similar delays in the future, which
would adversely aÅect our revenue and earnings.

If  we  lose  government  support  for  development  of  our  supercomputer  systems,  our  research  and
development  expenses  and  capital  requirements  would  increase  and  our  ability  to  conduct  research  and
development would decrease. A few government agencies and research laboratories fund a signiÑcant portion
of our development eÅorts, including our vector and multithreaded products, which signiÑcantly reduces our
reported level of net research and development expenses. To date, our 2006 development contracts for our
BlackWidow and Eldorado projects are not funded fully or have not yet been completed. Agencies of the
U.S. government historically have facilitated the development of, and have constituted a market for, new and
enhanced very high performance computer systems. U.S. government agencies may delay or decrease funding
of our future product development eÅorts due to a change of priorities, international political developments,
overall  budgetary  considerations  or  for  any  other  reason.  Any  delay  in  completing  the  currently  planned
contracts for these projects or a delay or decrease in other governmental support would cause an increased
need for capital, increase signiÑcantly our research and development expenditures and adversely impact our
proÑtability and our ability to implement our product roadmap.

We will be adversely aÅected if we are not awarded a contract for phase 3 of the DARPA HPCS
Program. Proposals for phase 3 of the DARPA HPCS program are due in late April 2006 and awards for
phase  3  are  to  be  announced  in  mid-2006.  In  addition  to  ourselves,  we  expect  that  IBM  and  Sun
Microsystems, the other participants in phase 2, will submit proposals. Phase 3 awards are for the delivery of
prototype systems by late 2010 and are expected to be in the range of $200 million to $250 million payable
over about Ñve years, with awardees to contribute a signiÑcant portion of the cost. We anticipate that there will
be one or two awardees. Our 2006 plan is based on a successful phase 3 proposal. Winning a phase 3 award
likely will result in increased research and development expenditures by us for the cost-sharing portion of the
program. If we do not receive a phase 3 award, we would look for alternative funding for all or some portion of
our proposal, which may not be available. We would need to revise our long-term development plans and
possibly redeploy and/or reduce our engineering staÅ. We also may experience decreased conÑdence in us and
our long-term viability from our customers, particularly U.S. governmental agencies. If we do not receive a
phase 3 award, our expenses in 2006 likely will increase and our longer-term revenue and earnings probably
would be adversely aÅected.

We face last-time buy decisions aÅecting all of our products, which may adversely aÅect our revenue
and  earnings. We  face  a  last-time-buy  deadline  for  a  key  component  for  our  Cray  XT3  and  successor

15

systems and our Eldorado project. We expect to no longer produce the Cray XD1 past 2006, and must plan
our inventory purchases accordingly. We may have to place such last-time-buy orders and inventory purchases
before we know all possible sales prospects. In determining last-time-by orders and inventory purchases, we
may either estimate low, in which case we limit the number of possible sales of products and reduce potential
revenue, or we may estimate too high, and incur inventory obsolescence write-downs. Either way, our earnings
would be adversely aÅected.

To be successful we need to establish the value of our high-bandwidth sustained performance systems,
increase diÅerentiation of our massively parallel commodity processor-products and reduce doubts about our
long-term viability. We are a comparatively small company dedicated solely to the supercomputing market.
We  have  concentrated  our  product  roadmap  on  building  balanced  systems  combining  highly  capable
processors with very high speed interconnect and communications capabilities throughout the entire comput-
ing system. We achieve performance diÅerentiation from our competitors through our custom processors in
our vector-based and multithreading products, although the markets for those products may be limited in size.
We need to establish greater performance diÅerentiation from our competitors in our Cray XT3 and successor
massively parallel products in order to command higher margins. The market for such products is much larger
but currently replete with low-bandwidth systems and oÅ-the-shelf commodity-based cluster systems oÅered
by larger competitors with signiÑcant resources and smaller companies with minimal research and develop-
ment expenditures. Many customers are able to meet their computing needs through the use of such systems,
and are willing to accept lower capability and less accurate modeling in return for lower acquisition costs.
Vendors of such systems, because they can oÅer high peak performance per dollar, often put pricing pressure
on us in competitive procurements. In addition, even when we have the best technical solution, our Ñnancial
losses in 2004 and 2005 may raise questions with our customers and potential customers about our long-term
viability. Our long-term success may be adversely aÅected if we are not successful in establishing the value of
our balanced high-bandwidth systems with the capability of solving challenging problems quickly to a market
beyond our core of customers, largely certain agencies of the U.S. and other governments, that require systems
with the performance and features we oÅer.

Our  reliance  on  third-party  suppliers  poses  signiÑcant  risks  to  our  business  and  prospects. We
subcontract the manufacture of substantially all of our hardware components for all of our products, including
integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, connectors, cables, power supplies, and certain memory parts, on a
sole  or  limited  source  basis  to  third-party  suppliers.  We  use  contract  manufacturers  to  assemble  our
components for all of our systems. We also rely on third parties to supply key software capabilities, such as Ñle
systems and storage subsystems. We are subject to substantial risks because of our reliance on these and other
limited or sole source suppliers. For example:

‚ if  a  supplier  did  not  provide  components  that  met  our  speciÑcations  in  suÇcient  quantities,  then

production and sale of our systems would be delayed;

‚ if a reduction or an interruption of supply of our components occurred, either because of a signiÑcant
problem with a supplier not providing parts on time or providing parts that later prove to be defective or
a  single-source  supplier  deciding  to  no  longer  provide  those  components  to  us,  it  could  take  us  a
considerable period of time to identify and qualify alternative suppliers to redesign our products as
necessary and to begin manufacture of the redesigned components or we may not be able to so redesign
such components; see also ""We face last-time buy decisions aÅecting all of our products, which may
adversely aÅect our earnings and prospects,'' above;

‚ if we were unable to locate a supplier for a key component, we would be unable to complete and deliver

our products;

‚ one or more suppliers could make strategic changes in their product oÅerings, which might delay,

suspend manufacture or increase the cost of our components or systems; and

‚ some  of  our  key  suppliers  are  small  companies  with  limited  Ñnancial  and  other  resources,  and
consequently may be more likely to experience Ñnancial and operational diÇculties than larger, well-
established companies.

Our products must meet demanding speciÑcations, such as integrated circuits that perform reliably at
high frequencies in order to meet acceptance criteria. From time to time in 2004 and 2005 we incurred delays
in the receipt of key components for the Cray X1E, Red Storm, Cray XT3 and the Cray XD1 systems, which
delayed  product  shipments  and  acceptances.  The  delays  in  product  shipments  and  acceptances  adversely
aÅected 2004 and 2005 revenue and margins, and may continue to so. We have also received parts that later
proved defective, particularly for the Cray XD1 system, which adversely aÅects our margins and customer
conÑdence.

We have used IBM as a key foundry supplier of our integrated circuits for many years. In 2004 IBM
informed us that it would no longer act as our foundry supplier on a long-term basis, although it will continue
production of components for our current products for a limited time. We have negotiated a termination of the
relationship  with  IBM  and  completed  a  general  contract  with  TI  to  act  as  our  foundry  for  certain  key
integrated circuits for our BlackWidow project in 2006 and successor products in subsequent years. We need
to  develop  a  mutually  beneÑcial  relationship  with  TI  on  a  long-term  basis,  including  negotiating  and
completing  agreements  for  the  design  and  delivery  of  speciÑc  components.  If  we  do  not  conclude  such
agreements or if TI is not able to meet our schedules successfully, we will be adversely aÅected.

Our Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems utilize AMD Opteron processors, as do our planned successor
products. Our Eldorado project is based on processors from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
If any of these suppliers suÅers delays or cancels the development of enhancements to its processors, our
product  revenue  would  be  adversely  aÅected.  Changing  our  product  designs  to  utilize  another  supplier's
integrated circuits would be a costly and time-consuming process.

Lower than anticipated sales of new supercomputers and the termination of maintenance contracts on
older and/or decommissioned systems would further reduce our service revenue and margins from mainte-
nance service contracts. High performance computer systems are typically sold with maintenance service
contracts. These contracts generally are for annual periods, although some are for multi-year periods, and
provide  a  predictable  revenue  base.  Our  revenue  from  maintenance  service  contracts  has  declined  from
approximately $95 million in 2000 to approximately $42 million in 2005. While we expect our maintenance
service revenue to stabilize over the next year, we may have periodic revenue and margin declines as our older,
higher margin service contracts are ended and newer, lower margin contracts are established, based on the
timing of system withdrawals from service. Adding service personnel to new locations when we win contracts
where  we  have  previously  had  no  presence  and  servicing  installed  products  when  we  discover  defective
components in the Ñeld create additional pressure on service margins.

We face increased liquidity risk if we do not receive cash Öow from operating activities as planned.
During 2005, we incurred a net loss of $64.3 million and used $36.7 million of cash in operating activities.
Although we generated cash from operations in the second half of 2005 of approximately $40.5 million, we
used  signiÑcant  working  capital  in  the  Ñrst  half  of  2005  to  fund  our  operating  loss,  increased  inventory
purchases, increased accounts receivable and additional equipment purchases associated with the introduction
of three new products. Our plans project that our current cash resources, including our credit facility, and cash
to be generated from operating activities should be adequate for at least the next 12 months, although we may
face short-term dislocations between receipts and expenditures. Our plans assume customer acceptances and
subsequent  collections  from  several  large  customers,  as  well  as  cash  receipts  on  new  bookings.  Should
acceptances and payments be delayed signiÑcantly, we could face a signiÑcant liquidity challenge which may
require us to pursue additional initiatives to reduce costs further, including reductions in inventory purchases
and commitments and/or seek additional Ñnancing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
our eÅorts to achieve future proÑtable operations or generate suÇcient cash from operations, or that we would
be  able  to  obtain  additional  funding  through  a  Ñnancing  in  the  event  our  Ñnancial  resources  became
insuÇcient. Financing, even if available, may not be available on satisfactory terms, may contain restrictions
on our operations, and if involving equity or debt securities could reduce the percentage ownership of our
shareholders, may cause additional dilution to our shareholders and the securities may have rights, preferences
and privileges senior to the Notes and our common stock.

We may not meet the covenants imposed by our current credit agreement. We are subject to various
Ñnancial and other covenants related to our line of credit with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. If we were to fail to
satisfy any of the covenants, we could be subject to fees and/or the possible termination of the credit facility.
We failed to meet a covenant with regard to minimum EBITDA for 2005, which was waived by Wells Fargo
Foothill, Inc. Termination of our credit facility would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.

We were not successful in completing the Red Storm project on time and on budget, which adversely
aÅected our 2004 and 2005 earnings and could adversely aÅect our future earnings and Ñnancial condition.
Falling behind schedule and incurring cost overruns on the Red Storm project adversely aÅected our cash Öow
and earnings in 2004 and 2005, and we recognized an estimated loss of $7.6 million in 2004 and recognized
additional losses of $7.7 million in 2005 on that project. It is possible that we may have additional losses on the
Red  Storm  contract  in  2006.  Although  we  have  made  considerable  progress  on  the  Red  Storm  project,
achieved a series of critical milestones, and clariÑed the path to system acceptance, failure to complete the
Red Storm system or to receive full payment for the Red Storm system would result in the recognition of
additional losses, and if severe enough, could result in a contract default or termination. Such delays, default
declaration  and/or  termination  could  materially  adversely  aÅect  other  transactions  with  other
U.S. government agencies, our 2006 results and our Ñnancial condition.

If the U.S. government purchases fewer supercomputers, our revenue would be reduced and our earnings
would be adversely aÅected. Historically, sales to the U.S. government and customers primarily serving the
U.S. government have represented a signiÑcant market for supercomputers, including our products. From
January 1, 2001, through December 31, 2002, approximately $101 million of our product revenue was derived
from sales to various agencies of the U.S. government; in 2003 and 2004, approximately $145 million and
$78  million,  respectively,  of  our  product  revenue  was  derived  from  such  sales.  In  2005,  approximately
$84 million of our product revenue was derived from U.S. government sales. Our 2006 plan is based on
signiÑcant  sales  to  U.S.  government  agencies,  particularly  of  Cray  XT3  and  successor  systems.  Sales  to
government agencies may be aÅected by factors outside our control, such as changes in procurement policies,
budget considerations, domestic crisis, and international political developments. If agencies and departments
of  the  United  States  or  other  governments  were  to  stop,  reduce  or  delay  their  use  and  purchases  of
supercomputers, our revenue and earnings would be reduced, which could lead to reduced proÑtability or
losses.

If we are unable to compete successfully in the high performance computer market, our revenue will
decline. The performance of our products may not be competitive with the computer systems oÅered by our
competitors.  Many  of  our  competitors  are  established  companies  well  known  in  the  high  performance
computing market, including IBM, NEC, Hewlett-Packard, SGI, Dell, Bull S.A. and Sun Microsystems.
Most of these competitors have substantially greater research, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and
Ñnancial resources than we do.

We also compete with systems builders and resellers of systems that are constructed from commodity
components using microprocessors manufactured by Intel, AMD, IBM and others. These competitors include
the previously named companies as well as smaller Ñrms, such as Linux Networx and Verari Systems, that
beneÑt from the low research and development costs needed to assemble systems from commercially available
commodity products. These companies have capitalized on developments in parallel processing and increased
computer performance in commodity-based networking and cluster systems. While these companies' products
are more limited in applicability and scalability, they have achieved growing market acceptance. They oÅer
signiÑcant performance and price/peak performance on smaller problems and on larger problems lacking
complexity, which is a part of the growing capacity computing marketplace (as opposed to the capability
marketplace that is our focus). Such companies, because they can oÅer high peak performance per dollar,
often put pricing pressure on us in competitive procurements.

Internationally we compete primarily with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, SGI, and NEC.
While the Ñrst four companies oÅer large systems based on commodity processors, NEC also oÅers vector-
based systems with a large suite of ported application programs. We have non-exclusive rights to market NEC
vector processing supercomputers throughout the world. As in the United States, commodity high perform-

18

 
ance computing suppliers like Dell, Linux Networx and Bull oÅer systems with signiÑcantly better price/peak
performance.

Periodic announcements by our competitors of new high performance computer systems (or plans for
future systems) and price adjustments may reduce customer demand for our products. Many of our potential
customers already own or lease very high performance computer systems. Some of our competitors oÅer trade-
in allowances or substantial discounts to potential customers, and engage in other aggressive pricing tactics,
and we have not always been able to match these sales incentives. We have in the past and may again be
required to provide substantial discounts to make strategic sales, which may reduce or eliminate any positive
margin on such transactions, or to provide lease Ñnancing for our products, which would result in a deferral of
our receipt of cash for these systems. These developments limit our revenue and resources and reduce our
ability to be proÑtable.

Our  market  is  characterized  by  rapidly  changing  technology,  accelerated  product  obsolescence  and
continuously evolving industry standards. Our success depends upon our ability to sell our current products,
and  to  develop  successor  systems  and  enhancements  in  a  timely  manner  to  meet  evolving  customer
requirements. We may not succeed in these eÅorts. Even if we succeed, products or technologies developed by
others may render our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete. A breakthrough in architecture or
software technology could make low-bandwidth and cluster systems even more attractive to our existing and
potential customers. Such a breakthrough would impair our ability to sell our products and reduce our revenue
and earnings.

If we cannot retain, attract and motivate key personnel, we may be unable to eÅectively implement our
business plan. Our success also depends in large part upon our ability to retain, attract and motivate highly
skilled management, technical, marketing, sales and service personnel. The loss of and failure to replace key
engineering management and personnel could adversely aÅect multiple development eÅorts. Turnover of our
research and development personnel was higher than normal in 2005 due to programmatic decisions and
aggressive hiring pressure from competitors and other high technology companies, resulting in increased risks
to our ability to complete product development projects on schedule. We face staÇng shortages and high
workloads in many key areas, including sales leadership, engineering, Ñeld services, marketing, Ñnance and
legal. We need to develop and implement succession plans for key personnel, some of whom are approaching
retirement age.

Recruitment  for  senior  management  and  highly  skilled  technical,  sales  and  other  personnel  is  very
competitive, and we may not be successful in either attracting or retaining such personnel. As part of our
strategy to attract and retain personnel, we oÅer equity compensation through stock options and restricted
stock grants. However, given the Öuctuations of the market price of our common stock and concerns about our
long-term  viability,  potential  employees  may  not  perceive  our  equity  incentives  as  attractive,  and  current
employees whose options have exercise prices signiÑcantly above current market values for our common stock
may choose not to remain employed by us. We expect to seek shareholder approval for a new equity incentive
plan that would provide additional authorized options and restricted stock to provide appropriate hiring and
retention incentives; if our shareholders do not approve the new plan, we may be limited in our ability to
provide  such  incentives.  In  addition,  due  to  the  intense  competition  for  qualiÑed  employees,  we  may  be
required to increase the level of compensation paid to existing and new employees, which could materially
increase our operating expenses.

New  European  environmental  rules  may  adversely  aÅect  our  operations.

In  2006  members  of  the
European Union (EU) and certain other European countries will implement the Restrictions on Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) Directive, which prohibits or limits the use in electrical and electronic equipment of the
following  substances:  lead,  mercury,  cadmium,  hexavalent,  chromium,  polybrominated  biphenyls,  and
polybrominated diphenyl ethers. After July 1, 2006, a U.S. company shipping products to the EU or such
other European countries that do not comply with RoHS could have its products detained and could be
subject to penalties. We have decided not to ship any Cray X1E or Cray XD1 systems to Europe after July 1,
2006, due to these restrictions, and we are working with our suppliers to assure RoHS compliance with respect
to our other products. We may have to redesign and re-qualify certain components in order to meet RoHS

requirements,  may  face  increased  engineering  expenses  in  this  process,  and  could  face  shipment  delays,
penalties and possible product detentions or seizures if a regulatory authority determines that one of our
products is not RoHS compliant.

A separate EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) was scheduled to
become eÅective in August 2005, but many EU member states have delayed its implementation. Under the
WEEE Directive, companies that put electrical and electronic equipment on the EU market must register
with individual member states, mark their products, submit annual reports, provide recyclers with information
about  product  recycling,  and  either  recycle  their  products  or  participate  in  or  fund  mandatory  recycling
schemes. In addition, some EU member states require recycling fees to be paid in advance to ensure funds are
available for product recycling at the end of the product's useful life or de-installation. We have begun to mark
our products as required by the WEEE Directive and are registering with those EU member states where our
products are sold. Each EU member state is responsible for implementing the WEEE Directive and some
member states have not yet established WEEE registrars or established or endorsed the recycling schemes
required by the WEEE Directive. We are actively monitoring implementation of the WEEE Directive by the
member states. Compliance with the WEEE Directive could increase our costs and any failure to comply with
the WEEE Directive could lead to monetary penalties.

Class action and derivative lawsuits are pending and additional lawsuits may be Ñled. We and certain
of our former and current oÇcers and directors have been named as defendants in a consolidated class action
lawsuit pending in federal district court for the Western District of Washington alleging certain violations of
the federal securities laws. A consolidated derivative action purporting to be brought on our behalf against
certain of our former and current oÇcers and directors is also pending in the same federal district court. A
similar consolidated derivative action is pending in a state court in King County, Washington. These cases are
still in their early stages. Additional lawsuits may be Ñled against us. See ""Item 3. Legal Proceedings'' below
for a description of this litigation. An adverse result in the federal securities cases could have a material
negative  Ñnancial  impact  on  us.  Regardless  of  the  outcome,  it  is  likely  that  such  actions  would  cause  a
diversion of our management's time, resources and attention, and the expense of defending the litigation may
be costly.

We are subject to the risk of additional litigation and regulatory proceedings or actions in connection
with the restatement of prior period Ñnancial statements. We have restated our previously issued Ñnancial
statement for the Ñscal year 2004, including interim periods in 2004. We may in the future be subject to class
action suits, other litigation or regulatory proceedings arising in relation to the restatement of our prior period
Ñnancial  statements.  Any  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  this  potential  litigation  or  regulatory
proceeding not covered by available insurance or any adverse resolution of this potential litigation or regulatory
proceeding could have a material adverse impact on us. Regardless of the outcome, it is likely that such
actions or proceedings would cause a diversion of our management's time, resources and attention, and the
expense of defending any litigation or proceeding may be costly.

The adoption of SFAS 123(R) will lower our earnings and may adversely affect the market price of our
common  stock. We  have  used  stock-based  compensation,  primarily  stock  options  and  an  employee  stock
purchase plan, as a key component in our employee compensation. We previously granted stock options to each
new employee and to all employees on an annual basis. We believe we have structured these programs to align the
incentives for employees with those of our long-term shareholders. We are reviewing our stock-based compensation
programs  and  their  structure  in  light  of  the  imposition  of  SFAS  123(R)  which  became  effective  for  us  on
January 1, 2006. In previous years, as we have reported in the notes to our financial statements, our stock option
program, as currently structured, would add approximately $7 million to $26 million of additional non-cash expense
annually and consequently would reduce our operating results by that amount. These estimates are based on use of
the  Black-Scholes  valuation  method.  In  the  first  half  of  2005,  we  accelerated  the  vesting  of  our  outstanding
employee stock options with a per share exercise price of $1.47 or higher, resulting in the complete vesting of
almost all of our then outstanding options, and we granted new stock options that vested on or before December 31,
2005, in order in part to minimize this expense, at least in the short-term. We recently have granted some stock
options to certain new employees with four-year vesting periods and have issued restricted stock grants to certain
employees and officers, which will be recorded as an expense in 2006 and subsequent years. We do not know how

analysts and investors will react to the additional expense recorded in our statement of operations rather than in the
notes, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

U.S.  export  controls  could  hinder  our  ability  to  make  sales  to  foreign  customers  and  our  future
prospects. The U.S. government regulates the export of high performance computer systems such as our
products. Occasionally we have experienced delays in receiving appropriate approvals necessary for certain
sales, which have delayed the shipment of our products. Delay or denial in the granting of any required
licenses could make it more diÇcult to make sales to foreign customers, eliminating an important source of
potential revenue.

We incorporate software licensed from third parties into the operating systems for our products and any
signiÑcant interruption in the availability of these third-party software products or defects in these products
could  reduce  the  demand  for  our  products. The  operating  system  software  we  develop  for  our  high
performance computer systems contains components that are licensed to us under ""open source'' software
licenses. Our business could be disrupted if this software, or functional equivalents of this software, were either
no longer available to us or no longer oÅered to us on commercially reasonable terms. In either case we would
be required either to redesign our operating system software to function with alternate third-party software, or
develop  these  components  ourselves,  which  would  result  in  increased  costs  and  could  result  in  delays  in
product shipments. Furthermore, we might be forced to limit the features available in our current or future
operating system software oÅerings. Our Cray XD1 and Cray XT3 systems utilize software system variants
that incorporate Linux technology. The SCO Group, Inc. has Ñled and threatened to Ñle lawsuits against
companies that operate Linux for commercial purposes, alleging that such use of Linux infringes The SCO
Group's rights. It is possible that The SCO Group could assert a claim of infringement against us with respect
to our use of Linux technology. The open source licenses under which we have obtained certain components of
our operating system software may not be enforceable. Any ruling by a court that these licenses are not
enforceable,  or  that  Linux-based  operating  systems,  or  signiÑcant  portions  of  them,  may  not  be  copied,
modiÑed or distributed as provided in those licenses, would adversely aÅect our ability to sell our systems. In
addition, as a result of concerns about The SCO Group's lawsuit and open source generally, we may be forced
to protect our customers from potential claims of infringement by The SCO Group or other parties. In any
such event, our Ñnancial condition and results of operations may be adversely aÅected.

We also incorporate proprietary software from third parties, such as for Ñle systems, job scheduling and
storage subsystems. We have experienced some functional issues in the past with implementing such software
with  our  supercomputer  systems.  These  issues,  if  repeated,  may  result  in  additional  expense  by  us  in
integrating this software more fully and/or loss of customer conÑdence.

We have recently formed a new senior management team that must work together eÅectively for us to be
successful.
In  2005  we  revamped  our  senior  management  team,  obtaining  the  services  of  Margaret  A.
Williams as Senior Vice President responsible for research and development, Brian C. Henry as Executive
Vice  President  and  Chief  Financial  OÇcer,  Jan  C.  Silverman  as  Senior  Vice  President  responsible  for
corporate  strategy  and  business  development  and  Steven  L.  Scott  as  Senior  Vice  President  and  Chief
Technology OÇcer, and Peter J. Ungaro was elevated to Chief Executive OÇcer. We recently added a new
vice  president/corporate  controller  and  a  new  vice  president  responsible  for  human  resources.  Additional
changes to our senior management team, and the integration of new senior executives, could result in some
disruption to our business while these new executives become familiar with our business culture and model
and  establish  their  management  systems.  If  our  new  management  team,  including  any  additional  senior
executives who join us in the future, is unable to work together eÅectively to implement our strategies, manage
our operations and accomplish our business objectives, our ability to grow our business and successfully meet
operational  challenges  could  be  severely  impaired.  The  loss  of  any  key  senior  management  could  have  a
signiÑcant impact on our eÅorts to improve operating results.

While we believe that we have adequate internal control over Ñnancial reporting as of December 31,
2005, as of the end of each subsequent Ñscal year we are required to evaluate our internal control over
Ñnancial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such
future evaluations could result in a loss of investor conÑdence in our Ñnancial reports and have an adverse

eÅect on our stock price. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, beginning with our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Ñscal year ended December 31, 2004, we are required to furnish a report
by our management on our internal control over Ñnancial reporting. Such report must contain, among other
items, an assessment of the eÅectiveness of our internal control over Ñnancial reporting as of the end of each
Ñscal year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over Ñnancial reporting is eÅective.
This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over Ñnancial
reporting  identiÑed  by  management.  Such  report  must  also  contain  a  statement  that  our  independent
registered public accounting Ñrm has issued an attestation report on management's assessment of such internal
control. In our amended 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, we identiÑed and described a number of
material weaknesses in our internal control over Ñnancial reporting, which required our assessment that our
internal control over Ñnancial reporting was not eÅective, and our independent registered public accounting
Ñrm disclaimed an opinion with respect to our management's assessment of our internal control over Ñnancial
reporting as of December 31, 2004.

We implemented remediation plans to address the identiÑed material weaknesses, and our management
has concluded, as set forth under ""Item 9A. Controls and Procedures,'' below, that our internal control over
Ñnancial reporting was eÅective as of December 31, 2005, and we received a favorable opinion from our
independent registered public accounting Ñrm with respect to our management's assessment, also as set forth
under ""Item 9A. Controls and Procedures,'' below. However, each year we must continue to monitor and
assess our internal control over Ñnancial reporting and determine whether we have any material weaknesses.
Depending on their nature and severity, any future material weaknesses could result in our having to restate
Ñnancial statements, could make it diÇcult or impossible for us to obtain an audit of our annual Ñnancial
statements or could result in a qualiÑcation of any such audit. In such events, we could experience a number of
adverse consequences, including our inability to comply with applicable reporting and listing requirements, a
loss  of  market  conÑdence  in  our  publicly  available  information,  delisting  from  Nasdaq,  loss  of  Ñnancing
sources such as our line of credit, and litigation based on the events themselves or their consequences.

We may infringe or be subject to claims that we infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
Third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us, and such claims, if proved, could
require us to pay substantial damages or to redesign our existing products. Regardless of the merits, any claim
of infringement requires management attention and causes us to incur signiÑcant expense to defend.

We  may  not  be  able  to  protect  our  proprietary  information  and  rights  adequately. We  rely  on  a
combination  of  patent,  copyright  and  trade  secret  protection,  nondisclosure  agreements  and  licensing
arrangements to establish, protect and enforce our proprietary information and rights. We have a number of
patents and have additional applications pending. There can be no assurance, however, that patents will be
issued from the pending applications or that any issued patents will protect adequately those aspects of our
technology to which such patents will relate. Despite our eÅorts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary
rights, we cannot be certain that we will succeed in doing so or that our competitors will not independently
develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies. The laws of
some countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent or in the same manner as do the
laws of the United States. Although we continue to implement protective measures and intend to defend our
proprietary rights vigorously, these eÅorts may not be successful.

Risk Factors Pertaining to our Notes and Our Common Stock

Our indebtedness may adversely aÅect our Ñnancial strength. With the sale of the Notes, we incurred
$80.0 million of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2005, we had no other outstanding indebtedness for money
borrowed and no material equipment lease obligations. We have a $30.0 million secured credit facility which
supports the issuance of letters of credit, of which $11.3 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2005
(the outstanding letters of credit were reduced to $1.4 million as of February 1, 2006), and provides us the
remaining  availability  for  potential  borrowing.  As  of  February  6,  2006,  the  line  of  credit  also  supports  a
forward  currency  contract  designated  as  a  cash  Öow  hedge  on  a  speciÑc  sales  contract.  See  Note  20 Ì
Subsequent  Events of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  below.  We  may  incur  additional

22

o
F

 
indebtedness for money borrowed, which may include borrowing under new credit facilities or the issuance of
new debt securities. The level of our indebtedness could, among other things:

‚ make it diÇcult or impossible for us to make payments on the Notes;

‚ increase our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions, including recessions;

‚ require us to use cash Öow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to
fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development eÅorts and other expenses;

‚ limit our Öexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we

operate;

‚ place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less indebtedness; and

‚ limit our ability to borrow additional funds that may be needed to operate and expand our business.

Our existing and any future credit facilities may adversely aÅect our ability to make payments under the
Notes. Our existing senior secured credit agreement contains covenants relating to our business, including
covenants  that  require  us  to  maintain  or  achieve  speciÑed  Ñnancial  performance  standards,  and  contains
speciÑed  events  of  default.  We  anticipate  that  any  future  credit  facility  would  contain  similar  types  of
provisions. Our failure to comply with any of those covenants or the occurrence of any of those speciÑed events
of default, if not cured (to the extent cure is permitted under the agreement) or waived, could result in the
acceleration of our indebtedness under the existing or any future credit facilities. If our credit facility is in
default, we will be required by the indenture, or in certain cases after a notice from our lender pursuant to the
indenture,  to  suspend  or  defer  payments  under  the  Notes.  Because  our  credit  facility  constitutes  senior
indebtedness, any enforcement by the Note holders of their rights under the indenture to such payments could
lead to our insolvency and a proceeding in which our senior and secured indebtedness would have priority over
claims under the Notes.

We will require a signiÑcant amount of cash to service our indebtedness and to fund planned capital
expenditures, research and development eÅorts and other corporate expenses. Our ability to make payments
on our indebtedness, including the Notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures, research and development
eÅorts  and  other  corporate  expenses  will  depend  on  our  future  operating  performance  and  on  economic,
Ñnancial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control.
Our business may not generate suÇcient cash Öow from operations and future borrowings may not be available
to us in an amount suÇcient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including the Notes, or to fund our other
needs.

If we are unable to generate suÇcient cash Öow to enable us to pay our indebtedness, we may need to

pursue one or more alternatives, such as:

‚ reducing our operating expenses;

‚ reducing or delaying capital expenditures or research and development;

‚ selling assets;

‚ raising additional equity capital and/or debt; and

‚ seeking legal protection from our creditors.

Any reduction in operating expenses, reduction or delay in capital expenditures, or sale of assets may
materially  and  adversely  aÅect  our  future  revenue  prospects.  In  addition,  we  may  not  be  able  to  raise
additional equity capital or debt on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Finally, any of the above actions
may not provide suÇcient cash to repay our indebtedness, including the Notes.

There  are  no  covenants  in  the  indenture  for  the  Notes  restricting  our  ability  or  the  ability  of  our
subsidiaries to incur future indebtedness or restricting the terms of any such indebtedness. The indenture
governing the Notes does not contain any Ñnancial or operating covenants or restrictions on the amount or
terms of indebtedness that we or any of our subsidiaries may incur. We may therefore incur additional debt

23

without limitation by the indenture for the Notes, including senior indebtedness, to which the Notes are
contractually subordinated, and secured indebtedness, to which the Notes are eÅectively subordinated. In
addition, our subsidiaries may incur additional debt to which the Notes are structurally subordinated, without
limitation. We or our subsidiaries may also agree to terms of any such indebtedness that may restrict our
Öexibility in complying with our obligations under the Notes. If we or any of our subsidiaries incur additional
indebtedness, the related risks that we and they now face may intensify. Our credit facility, however, currently
restricts our ability, directly or through our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness.

The Notes are subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness. The
Notes are our general unsecured senior subordinated obligations. The Notes rank junior in right of payment to
our existing and future senior indebtedness, including our existing line of credit, and equal in right of payment
with any future indebtedness or other obligation that is not, by its terms, either senior or subordinated to the
Notes. The indenture for the Notes does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness of any kind. In
the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, the note holders will share in any assets available to
our general creditors, only after all obligations to the holders of senior indebtedness have been paid. The note
holders do not have the right to limit the amount of senior indebtedness or the competing claims of our general
creditors.

The Notes are eÅectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to
all  indebtedness  and  other  liabilities  of  our  current  and  future  subsidiaries. The  Notes  are  general
unsecured obligations and are eÅectively subordinated to our current and future secured indebtedness to the
extent of the assets securing the indebtedness. The indenture for the Notes does not limit our ability to incur
secured indebtedness. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or upon acceleration of our
secured indebtedness and in certain other events, our assets pledged in support of secured indebtedness will
not be available to pay our obligations under the Notes. As a result, we may not have suÇcient assets to pay
amounts due on any or all of the Notes.

In addition, the Notes are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our current
and  future  subsidiaries.  Note  holders  do  not  have  any  claim  as  a  creditor  against  our  subsidiaries,  and
indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries eÅectively are senior to Note
holders'  claims  against  our  subsidiaries.  The  indenture  for  the  Notes  does  not  limit  the  ability  of  our
subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or other liabilities. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganiza-
tion of any of our subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled
to payment on their claims from assets of that subsidiary before any assets are made available for distribution
to our direct creditors.

We and one of our subsidiaries, Cray Federal Inc., are obligated for all indebtedness under our senior
secured credit agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., and that agreement is secured by all of our assets
and those of Cray Federal Inc. and by pledges of the stock of our subsidiaries, and is supported by guaranties
by certain of our subsidiaries.

In certain circumstances, holders of senior debt can require us to suspend or defer cash payments due in

respect of the Notes.
the indenture governing the Notes, including a payment default that results from the acceleration of such
Senior Debt as a result of a non-payment default, we will be prohibited, under the terms of the indenture from
making any further cash payments in respect of the Notes until such default has been cured or waived or shall
have ceased to exist. In addition, if we incur a non-payment default under any Designated Senior Debt, as
deÑned in the indenture, the holder or holders may provide, or cause to be provided, a notice to the indenture
trustee that will have the eÅect of prohibiting any further cash payments in respect of the Notes for a period
not exceeding 179 days from the date on which the trustee receives the notice or until such default is earlier
cured or waived. A holder of Designated Senior Debt may have the right to accelerate such debt as a result of
the non-payment default during the 179 day blockage period or otherwise, in which event future payments in
respect of the Notes will be prohibited as described above. Our obligations under our existing senior secured
credit agreement constitute Senior Debt and Designated Senior Debt under the indenture.

Unless  a  condition  to  conversion  is  met  prior  to  the  maturity  of  the  Notes,  the  Notes  will  not  be
convertible at any time. The Notes are convertible only upon the occurrence of stated conditions. If none of
these conditions occurs during the term of the Notes, the Notes will never be convertible and the holders may
never have an opportunity to realize any appreciation in value based on the value of our common stock.

Upon conversion of the Notes, we may pay cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common
stock in lieu of issuing shares of our common stock. Therefore, Note holders may receive no shares of our
common stock or fewer shares than the number into which their Notes are convertible. We have the right to
satisfy our conversion obligation to Note holders by issuing shares of our common stock into which the Notes
are convertible, paying the cash value of the shares of our common stock into which the Notes are convertible,
or a combination thereof. In addition, we have the right to irrevocably elect to satisfy our conversion obligation
in cash with respect to the principal amount of the Notes to be converted after the date of such election.
Accordingly, upon a conversion of a Note, a holder may not receive any shares of our common stock, or it
might receive fewer shares of our common stock relative to the conversion value of the Note. Our liquidity
may be reduced to the extent that we choose to deliver cash rather than shares of our common stock upon
conversion of Notes.

If a principal conversion settlement election is made, we may not have suÇcient funds to pay the cash
settlement upon conversion.
If we make a principal conversion settlement election, upon conversion of the
Notes, we will be required to satisfy our conversion obligation relating to the principal amount of such Notes
in cash. If a signiÑcant number of holders were to tender their Notes for conversion at any given time, we may
not have the Ñnancial resources available to pay the principal amount in cash on all such Notes tendered for
conversion.

The conversion rate of the Notes may not be adjusted for all dilutive events, including third-party tender
or exchange oÅers, that may adversely aÅect the trading price of the Notes or our common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Notes. The conversion rate of the Notes is subject to adjustment upon speciÑed
events, including speciÑed issuances of stock dividends on our common stock, issuances of rights or warrants,
subdivisions,  combinations,  distributions  of  capital  stock  or  assets,  cash  dividends  and  issuer  tender  or
exchange oÅers. The conversion rate will not be adjusted upon other events, such as third-party tender or
exchange oÅers, that may adversely aÅect the trading price of the Notes or our common stock.

If we pay cash dividends on our common stock, Note holders may be deemed to have received a taxable
dividend without the receipt of cash.
If we pay cash dividends on our common stock and there is a resulting
adjustment to the conversion rate, a Note holder could be deemed to have received a taxable dividend subject
to U.S. federal income tax without the receipt of any cash.

If we elect to settle upon conversion in cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, there
will be a delay in settlement. Upon conversion, if we elect to settle in cash or a combination of cash and
shares of our common stock, there will be a signiÑcant delay in settlement. In addition, because the amount of
cash or common stock that a Note holder will receive in these circumstances will be based on the sale price of
our common stock for an extended period between the conversion date and such settlement date, holders will
bear the market risk with respect to the value of the common stock for such extended period.

Some signiÑcant corporate transactions may not constitute a fundamental change, in which case we
would not be obligated to oÅer to repurchase the Notes. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, as
deÑned in the indenture governing the Notes, which includes speciÑed change of control events, we will be
required to oÅer to repurchase all outstanding Notes. The fundamental change provisions, however, will not
require  us  to  oÅer  to  repurchase  the  Notes  in  the  event  of  some  signiÑcant  corporate  transactions.  For
example, various transactions, such as leveraged recapitalizations, reÑnancings, restructurings or acquisitions
initiated by us, would not constitute a change of control and, therefore, would not constitute a fundamental
change requiring us to repurchase the Notes. Other transactions may not constitute a fundamental change
because they do not involve a change in voting power or beneÑcial ownership of the type described in the
deÑnition  of  fundamental  change.  Accordingly,  Note  holders  may  not  have  the  right  to  require  us  to
repurchase  their  Notes  in  the  event  of  a  signiÑcant  transaction  that  could  increase  the  amount  of  our

25

indebtedness, adversely aÅect our capital structure or any credit ratings or otherwise adversely aÅect the
holders of Notes.

In addition, a fundamental change includes a sale of all or substantially all of our properties and assets.
Although  there  is  limited  law  interpreting  the  phrase  ""substantially  all,''  there  is  no  precise  established
deÑnition of the phrase under the laws of New York, which govern the indenture and the Notes, or under the
laws of Washington, our state of incorporation. Accordingly, a Note holder's ability to require us to repurchase
Notes as a result of a sale of less than all of our properties and assets may be uncertain.

Our Notes may not be rated or may receive a lower rating than investors anticipate, which could cause a
decline in the trading volume and market price of the Notes and our common stock. We do not intend to
seek a rating on the Notes, and we believe it is unlikely the Notes will be rated. If, however, one or more rating
agencies rates the Notes and assigns a rating lower than the rating expected by investors, or reduces any rating
in the future, the trading volume and market price of the Notes and our common stock may be adversely
aÅected.

We may not have the funds necessary to purchase the Notes upon a fundamental change or other
purchase date and our ability to purchase the Notes in such events may be limited. On December 1, 2009,
December 1, 2014 and December 1, 2019, holders of the Notes may require us to purchase their Notes for
cash. In addition, holders may also require us to purchase their Notes upon a fundamental change, as deÑned
in the indenture governing the Notes. Our ability to repurchase the Notes in such events may be limited by
law,  and  by  the  terms  of  other  indebtedness,  including  the  terms  of  senior  indebtedness,  we  may  have
outstanding  at  the  time  of  such  events.  Our  existing  senior  secured  credit  facility  does  not  permit  us  to
repurchase  any  of  the  Notes  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  the  lender,  including  any  repurchase
following a fundamental change as deÑned in the indenture. Any subsequent credit facility may include similar
provisions. If we do not have suÇcient funds, we will not be able to repurchase the Notes tendered to us for
purchase. If a repurchase event occurs, we expect that we would require third-party Ñnancing to repurchase
the  Notes,  but  we  may  not  be  able  to  obtain  that  Ñnancing  on  favorable  terms  or  at  all.  Our  failure  to
repurchase tendered Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture would constitute a
default under the indenture. In addition, a default under the indenture or the occurrence of a fundamental
change which results in any Note holder delivering a fundamental change purchase notice electing repurchase
of any notes each constitutes a default under our existing senior secured credit facility and could lead to
defaults under other existing and future agreements governing our indebtedness. In these circumstances, the
subordination provisions in the indenture governing the Notes may limit or prohibit payments to Note holders.
If, due to a default, the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable
notice or grace periods, we may not have suÇcient funds to repay the indebtedness or repurchase the Notes.

The make whole premium payable on Notes that are converted in connection with certain fundamental
changes may not adequately compensate Note holders for the lost option time value of the Notes as a result
of that fundamental change.
If any of certain fundamental changes occurs on or prior to December 1, 2009,
we will under certain circumstances pay a make whole premium on the Notes that are converted in connection
with such fundamental change. The amount of the make whole premium and additional shares delivered
depends on the date on which the fundamental change becomes eÅective and the price paid per share of our
common stock in the transaction constituting the fundamental change, as deÑned in the indenture governing
the Notes. Although the make whole premium is designed to compensate Note holders for the lost option
value of the Notes as a result of the fundamental change, the amount of the make whole premium is only an
approximation of the lost value and may not adequately compensate Note holders for the loss. In addition, if a
fundamental change occurs after December 1, 2009, or if the applicable price is less than or equal to $3.51 per
share or greater than $10.50 per share (in each case, subject to adjustment), then we will not pay any make
whole premium. Also, a holder may not receive the make whole premium payable upon conversion until the
fundamental change repurchase date relating to the applicable fundamental change, or even later, which could
be a signiÑcant period of time after the date the holder has tendered its Notes for conversion.

There are restrictions on the Note holders' ability to transfer or resell the Notes without registration
under applicable securities laws, and if we fail to fulÑll our obligations to keep eÅective the registration

statement covering the resale of the Notes, we will be required to pay additional interest on the Notes
aÅected by that failure and to issue additional shares of common stock on Notes converted during such
failure and satisÑed by us in common stock. We sold the Notes under an exemption from registration under
applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws. The registration statement covering the resale of the Notes
and underlying common stock became eÅective in July 2005. Under the registration rights agreement, we are
permitted to suspend the use of the eÅective registration statement for speciÑc periods of time for certain
speciÑed reasons. If we fail to fulÑll our obligations speciÑed in the registration rights agreement governing the
Notes,  we  will  be  required  to  pay  additional  interest  on  Notes  adversely  aÅected  by  such  failure.  Such
additional interest will accrue from the date of such failure at a rate per year equal to 0.25% for the Ñrst
90 days, and 0.50% thereafter, on the principal amount of such Notes until such failure is cured or until the
registration statement is no longer required to  be  kept eÅective  and  is  payable on the scheduled interest
payment dates. If a holder converts Notes during a registration default, no accrued and unpaid additional
interest will be paid with respect to the Notes converted, but the holder would receive on any conversion that
we elect to satisfy in common stock 103% of the number of shares of our common stock that such holder
would have received in the absence of such default. We would have no other liability for monetary damages
for a failure to fulÑll our registration obligations.

There is no active market for the Notes and if an active trading market does not develop for these Notes,
the holders of the Notes may be unable to resell them. The Notes are a new issue of securities for which the
only current trading market is the Nasdaq's screen-based automated trading system known as PORTAL,
which facilitates the trading of unregistered securities eligible to be resold by qualiÑed institutional buyers
pursuant to SEC Rule 144A. The resale of the Notes is registered under the Securities Act. Any Notes resold
using an eÅective prospectus will no longer be eligible for trading in the PORTAL market. Moreover, if
enough Notes are converted, redeemed or sold pursuant to an eÅective prospectus, trading of Notes in the
PORTAL market may become inactive or may cease altogether. In that event, and in the absence of an
alternative trading market, there would exist no organized market for the Notes from which their market value
could be determined or realized. We do not intend to list the Notes on any national securities exchange or to
seek the admission of the Notes for trading in the Nasdaq National Market or SmallCap Market. We have
been advised by Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. that it is currently making a market in the Notes. However, it is not
obligated to do so and any market-making activities with respect to the Notes may be discontinued at any time
without notice. In addition, market-making activity is subject to the limits imposed by law.

Further, even if a market in the Notes develops, the Notes could trade at prices lower than the initial
oÅering price. In addition, the liquidity of, and the trading market for, the Notes may be adversely aÅected by
many  factors,  including  prevailing  interest  rates,  the  markets  for  similar  securities,  general  economic
conditions,  our  Ñnancial  condition,  performance  and  prospects  and  general  declines  or  disruptions  in  the
market for non-investment grade debt.

Our stock price is volatile. The stock market has been and is subject to price and volume Öuctuations
that particularly aÅect the market prices for small capitalization, high technology companies like us. The
trading price of our common stock is subject to signiÑcant Öuctuations in response to many factors, including
our quarterly operating results (particularly if they are less than our or analysts' previous estimates), changes
in analysts' estimates, our capital raising activities, announcements of technological innovations by us or our
competitors and general conditions in our industry.

A substantial number of our shares are eligible for future sale and may depress the market price of our
common stock and may hinder our ability to obtain additional Ñnancing. As of December 31, 2005, we had
outstanding:

‚ 90,973,506 shares of common stock, and 78,840 shares of common stock issuable upon exchange of
certain  exchangeable  securities  issued  in  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  OctigaBay  Systems
Corporation in April 2004 (all 78,840 exchangeable shares were exchanged for an equivalent number
of shares of our common stock in January 2006);

‚ warrants to purchase 5,634,049 shares of common stock;

27

‚ stock options to purchase an aggregate of 18,000,580 shares of common stock, of which 17,982,045

options were then exercisable; and

‚ Notes convertible into up to 22,792,016 shares of common stock.

Almost all of our outstanding shares of common stock may be sold without substantial restrictions, with
certain exceptions including approximately two million shares held by executive oÇcers and key managers
that may be forfeited and are restricted against transfer until June 30, 2007. Almost all of the shares of
common stock that may be issued on exercise of the warrants and options will be available for sale in the
public market when issued, subject in some cases to volume and other limitations. The warrants outstanding at
December 31, 2005, consisted of warrants to purchase 294,641 shares of common stock, with exercise prices
ranging from $4.50 to $6.00 per share, expiring between May 21, 2006, and September 3, 2006, warrants to
purchase 200,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $1.65 per share, expiring on May 30,
2009, and warrants to purchase 5,139,408 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $2.53 per share,
expiring on June 21, 2009. We have authorized 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, although no
shares are currently outstanding. The Notes are not now convertible, and only become convertible upon the
occurrence of certain events. We have registered the resale of the Notes and of the underlying common stock
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which facilitates transferability of those securities. Sales in the
public market of substantial amounts of our common stock, including sales of common stock issuable upon the
exercise of warrants, options and Notes, may depress prevailing market prices for the common stock. Even the
perception that sales could occur may impact market prices adversely. The existence of outstanding warrants,
options and Notes may prove to be a hindrance to our future Ñnancings. Further, the holders of warrants,
options  and  Notes  may  exercise  or  convert  them  for  shares  of  common  stock  at  a  time  when  we  would
otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable to us. Such factors could impair
our ability to meet our capital needs.

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws could make a proposed acquisition that is not
approved by our Board of Directors more diÇcult. Provisions of our Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws could make it more diÇcult for a third party to acquire us. These provisions could limit the price that
investors  might  be  willing  to  pay  in  the  future  for  our  common  stock.  For  example,  our  Articles  of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide for:

‚ removal of a director only in limited circumstances and only upon the aÇrmative vote of not less than

We also lease a total of approximately 9,600 square feet, primarily for sales and service oÇces, in various
domestic locations. In addition, various foreign sales and service subsidiaries have leased an aggregate of
approximately 17,300 square feet of oÇce space. We believe our facilities are adequate to meet our needs in

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Beginning on May 25, 2005, we and certain current and former oÇcers were served with six securities
class  action  complaints  Ñled  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  Western  District  of  Washington.  On
October 19, 2005, the Court ordered the consolidation of these cases into a single action, and on November 15,
2005, the plaintiÅs Ñled an amended consolidated complaint. PlaintiÅs seek to represent a class of purchasers
of our securities from October 23, 2002, through May 9, 2005. The consolidated complaint alleges federal
securities law violations in connection with the issuance of various reports, press releases and statements in
investor telephone conference calls, and seeks unspeciÑed damages, interest, attorneys' fees, costs and other
relief. On December 19, 2005, we and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint,
which motion is pending before the Court.

On June 3 and June 17, 2005, two shareholder derivative complaints were Ñled in the U.S. District Court
for the Western District of Washington against members of our Board of Directors and certain current and
former oÇcers. The derivative plaintiÅs purport to act on our behalf and assert allegations substantially similar
to those asserted in the putative class action complaints, as well as allegations of breach of Ñduciary duty,
abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The complaints
seek  to  recover  on  our  behalf  unspeciÑed  damages  and  seek  attorney's  fees,  costs  and  other  relief.  On
August 29, 2005, the Court ordered the consolidation of these two cases into a single action, and in October
2005 we were served with an amended derivative complaint containing substantially identical allegations as in
the  earlier  complaints.  On  November  18,  2005,  we  and  the  individual  defendants  moved  to  dismiss  the
consolidated derivative complaint, which motions are pending before the Court.

On January 9, 2006, we were served in two additional shareholder derivative complaints Ñled in the
Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County against members of our Board of Directors and
certain current and former oÇcers and former directors. The derivative plaintiÅs purport to act on our behalf
and make allegations substantially similar to those asserted in the consolidated derivative case previously Ñled
in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The complaints seek to recover on our
behalf unspeciÑed damages and seek attorneys' fees, costs and other relief. On February 15, 2006, the two
state court derivative actions were consolidated by order of the Court. On April 5, 2006, we and the individual
defendants moved to dismiss the state court derivative action, which motions are pending before the Court.

We are indemnifying our current and former oÇcers and directors named in each of the foregoing actions,
subject to an undertaking by each of them to repay the advanced fees and costs if it is ultimately determined
that he or she is not entitled to such indemniÑcation.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(1) The ratio of earnings to Ñxed charges is computed by dividing earnings by Ñxed charges. Earnings consist
of net income (loss) plus provision (beneÑt) for income taxes and Ñxed charges. Fixed charges consist of
interest  expense,  including  amortization  of  fees  paid  for  the  line  of  credit  and  Convertible  Senior
Subordinated Note oÅering, plus the portion of operating rental expense management believes represents
the interest component of rent expense. The pretax net loss for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2004
and 2005 was not suÇcient to cover Ñxed charges by approximately $34.2 million, $148.3 million and
$65.8 million, respectively. As a result, the ratio of earnings to Ñxed charges has not been computed for
these periods.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The information set forth in ""Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations''  below  includes  ""forward-looking  statements''  within  the  meaning  of  Section  27A  of  the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to
the safe harbor created by those Sections. Factors that realistically could cause results to diÅer materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements are set forth in this section and earlier in this report under
""Item  1A. Ì Risk  Factors,''  beginning  on  page  14.  The  following  discussion  should  also  be  read  in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto.

Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

We have restated our previously issued Ñnancial statements as of and for the year ending December 31,
2004, including interim periods in 2004, to correct a $3.3 million non-cash error with respect to revenue
recognized under one of our product development contracts. We have determined that certain costs were
incorrectly charged to this contract in 2004. The contract is accounted for under the percentage of completion
method of accounting. As restated, 2004 revenue was decreased by $3.3 million, cost of product revenue was
decreased by $3.1 million, research and development expense was increased by $3.1 million, and net loss was
increased by $3.3 million. There was no impact on our cash or short-term investment position.

All amounts referenced for 2004 in this Annual Report, including the following discussion and analysis of

our Ñnancial condition and results of operations, reÖect the relevant amounts on a restated basis.

See  Note  2 Ì Restatement  of  Previously  Issued  Financial  Statements  of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated

operations for 2004 and consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004.

Overview and Executive Summary

We design, develop, manufacture, market and service high performance computer systems, commonly
known  as  supercomputers.  These  systems  provide  capability  and  capacity  far  beyond  typical  server-based
computer systems and address challenging scientiÑc and engineering computing problems for government,
industry and academia. During 2005, our revenue primarily came from sales of our Cray XT3, Cray X1E and
Cray XD1 systems, from government funding for our Red Storm and Cascade development projects and from
providing maintenance and other services to our customers.

We are dedicated solely to the supercomputing market. We have concentrated our product roadmap on
building balanced systems combining highly capable processors (whether developed by ourselves or by others)
along  with  highly  scalable  software  with  very  high speed  interconnect  and  communications  capabilities
throughout the entire computing system, not solely from processor-to-processor. We believe we are very well
positioned  to  meet  the  high  performance  computing  market's  demanding  needs  by  providing  superior
supercomputer systems with performance and cost advantages over low-bandwidth and cluster systems when
sustained performance on challenging applications and workloads and total cost of ownership are taken into
account.

Strategic Focus

We are focused on strategies that we believe will improve our Ñnancial results and increase returns for our
shareholders. Our Ñnancial goals include sustained annual revenue growth, annual operating income improve-
ment, and increased operating cash Öows. Our revenue, results of operations and cash balances are likely to
Öuctuate signiÑcantly from quarter-to-quarter and within a quarter. These Öuctuations are due to such factors
as the high average sales prices and limited number of sales of our larger products, the timing of product
orders and deliveries, our revenue recognition accounting policy under which we generally do not recognize
product revenue until customer acceptance and other contractual provisions have been fulÑlled, the timing of
cash receipts for product sales, maintenance services, government research and development funding and our
purchases of inventory. Given the nature of our business, our revenue, receivables and other related accounts
are likely to be concentrated among a few customers.

To achieve these goals over time, we are focused on recapturing the leadership position in the capability-
class  supercomputing  market  (which  represents  the  largest  and  most  complex  systems  in  the  world),
estimated to be a $800 million to $1.2 billion market in recent years. Our total addressable market, which we
view as the capability market and those parts of the enterprise market where we have competitive advantages,
is approximately $1.5 billion. To further this goal, we have aligned our research and development and sales and
marketing eÅorts to achieve our Adaptive Supercomputing vision, which is intended to integrate multiple
processing technologies into a single, highly scalable system to provide high performance and enhanced user
productivity.  Our  Adaptive  Supercomputing  vision,  which  we  will  roll  out  over  time  starting  in  2007,
incorporates many of our technical strengths Ì massively parallel, vector, multithreading and other hardware
co-processing technologies and high-bandwidth networks Ì into a single system.

Summary of 2005 Results

Revenue increased by $55.2 million or 38% from 2004 due to initial product sales of our Cray XT3 and
Cray XD1 products and a 38% year-over-year increase in Cray X1/X1E sales, partially oÅset by lower revenue
recognized on our Cascade and Red Storm projects.

Loss from operations improved to a loss of $60.9 million in 2005 from a loss of $147.9 million in 2004.
The improvement was primarily due to three factors: a $21.2 million increase in gross margin on higher 2005
sales; $24.0 million of operating cost containment and improvements due to the second quarter restructuring
activities, including workforce reduction and pay reduction program and increased government funding of
research and development; and a $43.4 million charge in 2004 for the write-oÅ of in process research and
development in connection with the acquisition of OctigaBay Systems.

Net cash used in operations improved in 2005 from a use of cash of $52.7 million in 2004 to a use of cash
of $36.7 million in 2005. Cash balances increased $4.3 million during 2005 and we did not borrow amounts
under our line of credit agreement. However, during 2005 we sold $34.3 million of short-term investments and
utilized $11.4 million of cash previously restricted during the year.

Market Overview and Challenges

The most signiÑcant trend in the high performance computing market is the continuing expansion and
acceptance of low-bandwidth and cluster systems using microprocessors manufactured by Intel, AMD, IBM
and others with commercially available commodity networking and other components throughout the high

performance computing market, especially in capacity computing situations. These systems may oÅer higher
theoretical peak performance for equivalent cost, and vendors of such systems often put pricing pressure on us
in competitive procurements, even at times in capability market procurements.

To  compete  against  these  systems  in  the  longer  term,  we  need  to  incorporate  greater  performance
diÅerentiation across our products. We believe we will have such diÅerentiation through our new vector-based
product being developed in our BlackWidow project and our new multithreaded product being developed in
our  Eldorado  project.  These  products,  which  focus  initially  on  a  narrower  market  than  our  commodity
processor products, are expected to be available in 2007. One of our challenges is to broaden the markets for
these products. We must add greater performance diÅerentiation to our high-bandwidth massively parallel
commodity  processor-based  products,  such  as  the  Cray  XT3  and  successor  systems,  while  balancing  the
business  strategy  trade-oÅs  between  using  commodity  parts,  which  are  available  to  our  competitors,  and
proprietary components, which are both expensive and time-consuming to develop. We intend to grow our
share  of  the  capability  market  and  concentrate  on  those  parts  of  the  enterprise  market  where  we  have
competitive advantages.

Our success depends on several other factors, including timely, eÇcient execution of our research and
development plans which should provide us with leading-edge technologies. We must eÅectively market and
sell products that utilize these technologies as diÅerentiated products and continue to broaden our geographic
markets in Europe and Asia. We need to continue to successfully obtain co-development funding for certain of
our research and development eÅorts. Longer term, our Adaptive Supercomputing vision incorporates our
broad  technical  strengths  into  a  single  system,  reducing  our  expected  development  costs.  Our  ability  to
innovate and execute in these areas will determine the extent to which we are able to grow existing revenue
proÑtably despite the high level of competitive activity. There continue to be competitive pressures that we
must respond to related to pricing, product performance and availability of application software. We must
manage each of these factors, as well as maintain mutually beneÑcial relationships with our customers, in
order to compete eÅectively and achieve our business goals.

Our product costs are subject to Öuctuations, particularly due to changes in our production levels. Higher
sales volumes allow us to achieve lower component pricing and recover our Ñxed overhead more eÅectively
than if volumes are low. Technological changes in our products may result in writing down certain inventories
below cost based upon their estimated future use. Our operating costs are subject to Öuctuations due to the
timing and level of development co-funding and other factors. As our international business expands, we must
manage our foreign currency risks as we enter into agreements that are not denominated in the U.S. dollar and
not naturally hedged by expenses that are incurred in the same foreign currency.

The major uncertainties that should be considered in evaluating our business, operations and prospects
and that could aÅect our future results and Ñnancial condition are set forth above under ""Item 1A. Risk
Factors.''

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are based
upon  our  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements,  which  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (""U.S. GAAP''). The preparation of these
Ñnancial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that aÅect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies. In preparing our Ñnancial statements
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, there are certain accounting policies that are particularly important. These
include revenue recognition, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, the accounting
for loss contracts and stock-based compensation. We believe these accounting policies and others set forth in
Note 3 Ì Summary of SigniÑcant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
should be reviewed as they are integral to understanding our results of operations and Ñnancial condition. In
some cases, these policies represent required accounting. In other cases, they may represent a choice between
acceptable accounting methods or may require substantial judgment or estimation.

Additionally, we consider certain judgments and estimates to be signiÑcant, including those related to
valuation estimates of deferred tax assets, valuation of inventory at the lower of cost or market, estimates to
complete for percentage of completion accounting on the Red Storm and Cascade contracts and impairment
of goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and
on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may diÅer from
these estimates under diÅerent assumptions or conditions.

Our  management  has  discussed  the  selection  of  signiÑcant  accounting  policies  and  the  eÅect  of

judgments and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. In accordance with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  StaÅ  Accounting  Bulletin  (""SAB'')  No.  104,  Revenue  Recognition  in  Financial
Statements, we consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an
arrangement, the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to our customer, title and risk of
loss for products has passed to our customer, the sales price is Ñxed or determinable, no signiÑcant unfulÑlled
obligations exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the
following are the speciÑc revenue recognition policies for each major category of revenue and for multiple-
element arrangements.

Products: We recognize revenue from our product lines, as follows:

‚ Cray  X1/X1E  and  Cray  XT3  Product  Lines: We  recognize  revenue  from  product  sales  upon
customer acceptance of the system, when we have no signiÑcant unfulÑlled obligations stipulated by
the contract that aÅect the customer's Ñnal acceptance, the price is determinable and collection is
reasonably assured. A customer-signed notice of acceptance or similar document is required from the
customer prior to revenue recognition.

‚ Cray  XD1  Product  Line: We  recognize  revenue  from  product  sales  of  Cray  XD1  systems  upon
shipment to, or delivery to, the customer, depending upon contract terms, when we have no signiÑcant
unfulÑlled obligations stipulated by the contract, the price is determinable and collection is reasonably
assured. If there is a contractual requirement for customer acceptance, revenue is recognized upon
receipt of the notice of acceptance and when we have no unfulÑlled obligations.

Revenue from contracts that require us to design, develop, manufacture or modify complex information
technology systems to a customer's speciÑcations is recognized using the percentage of completion method for
long-term development projects under AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Percentage of completion is measured based on
the ratio of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs. Total estimated costs are based on
several factors, including estimated labor hours to complete certain tasks and the estimated cost of purchased
components or services. Estimates may need to be adjusted from quarter to quarter, which would impact
revenue and margins on a cumulative basis. To the extent the estimate of total costs to complete the contract
indicates a loss, such amount is recognized in full at that time.

Services: Revenue  for  the  maintenance  of  computers  is  recognized  ratably  over  the  term  of  the
maintenance contract. Maintenance contracts that are paid in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. We
consider Ñscal funding clauses as contingencies for the recognition of revenue until the funding is assured.
High performance computing service revenue is recognized as the services are rendered.

Multiple-Element Arrangements. We commonly enter into transactions that include multiple-element
arrangements,  which  may  include  any  combination  of  hardware,  maintenance  and  other  services.  In
accordance  with  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force  Issue  No.  00-21,  Revenue  Arrangements  with  Multiple
Deliverables, when some elements are delivered prior to others in an arrangement and all of the following
criteria are met, revenue for the delivered element is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of such item:

‚ The element could be sold separately;

38

m
r
o
F

 
‚ The fair value of the undelivered element is established; and

‚ In cases with any general right of return, our performance with respect to any undelivered element is

within our control and probable.

If all of the criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until delivery of the last element as the elements
would not be considered a separate unit of accounting and revenue would be recognized as described above
under  our  product  line  or  service  revenue  recognition  policies.  We  consider  the  maintenance  period  to
commence  upon  installation  and  acceptance  of  the  product,  which  may  include  a  warranty  period  and
accordingly allocate a portion of the sales price as a separate deliverable which is recognized as service revenue
over the entire service period.

Inventory Valuation

We  record  our  inventory  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  market.  We  regularly  evaluate  the  technological
usefulness and anticipated future demand of our inventory components. Due to rapid changes in technology
and  the  increasing  demands  of  our  customers,  we  are  continually  developing  new  products.  Additionally,
during  periods  of  product  or  inventory  component  upgrades  or  transitions,  we  may  acquire  signiÑcant
quantities of inventory to support estimated current and future production and service requirements. As a
result, it is possible that older inventory items we have purchased may become obsolete, be sold below cost or
be deemed in excess of quantities required for production or service requirements. When we determine it is not
likely we will recover the cost of inventory items through future sales, we write down the related inventory to
our estimate of its market value. During 2005, we charged a total of $5.8 million for write down of inventory of
which $3.2 million was related to Cray X1E inventory, $2.0 million was related to Cray XD1 inventory, and
$0.6 million was related to Cray XT3 inventory. In 2004, we wrote down Cray X1 inventory by $8.3 million
and Cray XD1 inventory by $0.2 million, for a total of $8.5 million.

Because the products we sell have high average sales prices and because a high number of our prospective
customers receive funding from U.S. or foreign governments, it is diÇcult to estimate future sales of our
products and the timing of such sales. It also is diÇcult to determine whether the cost of our inventories will
ultimately be recovered through future sales. While we believe our inventory is stated at the lower of cost or
market and that our estimates and assumptions to determine any adjustments to the cost of our inventories are
reasonable, our estimates may prove to be inaccurate. We have sold inventory previously reduced in part or in
whole  to  zero,  and  we  may  have  future  sales  of  previously  written  down  inventory.  We  also  may  have
additional expense to write down inventory to its estimated market value. Adjustments to these estimates in
the future may materially impact our operating results.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Approximately 21% of our total assets as of December 31, 2005, consisted of goodwill resulting from our
acquisition of the Cray Research business unit assets from SGI in 2000 and our acquisition of OctigaBay
Systems Corporation in April 2004. We no longer amortize goodwill associated with the acquisitions, but we
are required to conduct ongoing analyses of the recorded amount of goodwill in comparison to its estimated
fair value. We currently have one operating segment and reporting unit. As such, we evaluate any potential
goodwill  impairment  by  comparing  our  net  assets  against  the  market  value  of  our  outstanding  shares  of
common stock. We performed annual impairment tests eÅective January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2005, and
determined that our recorded goodwill was not impaired.

The analysis of whether the fair value of recorded goodwill is impaired and the number and nature of our
reporting units involves a substantial amount of judgment. Future changes related to the amounts recorded for
goodwill could be material depending on future developments and changes in technology and our business.

In connection with our 2004 acquisition of OctigaBay Systems Corporation, we assigned $6.7 million of
value  to  core  technology.  In  December  2005  we  announced  plans  to  further  integrate  our  technology
platforms,  and  combine  the  Cray  XD1  and  the  Cray  XT3  products  into  a  uniÑed  product  oÅering.  The
expected undiscounted cash Öows from the product using the core technology were not suÇcient to recover the

39

o
r

K

 
carrying  value  of  the  asset.  We  performed  a  fair  value  assessment  similar  to  the  original  valuation  and
determined the asset had no continuing value. We wrote oÅ the unamortized balance of our core technology
intangible asset of $4.9 million Accordingly, we recorded a $4.9 million charge in 2005 to ""Restructuring,
Severance and Impairment'' in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. In connection with
this  charge,  we  reversed  the  remaining  deferred  tax  liability  of  $1.5  million  that  was  established  in  the
purchase accounting as amortization of this intangible asset was not deductible for income tax purposes.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on diÅerences between Ñnancial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in eÅect when the diÅerences and carryforwards are expected to be
recovered or settled. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (""SFAS'') No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when it is estimated
that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized through future
operations. This assessment is based upon consideration of available positive and negative evidence, which
includes,  among  other  things,  our  most  recent  results  of  operations  and  expected  future  proÑtability.  We
consider  our  actual  historical  results  to  have  stronger  weight  than  other  more  subjective  indicators  when
considering whether to establish or reduce a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

The provision for or beneÑt from income taxes represents taxes payable or receivable for the current
period plus the net change in deferred tax assets and liabilities and valuation allowance amounts during the
period. In 2003, we reversed $58.0 million of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets (principally
U.S.  loss  carryforwards)  based  primarily  upon  our  consideration  of  our  most  recent  proÑtable  operating
performance as well as our reasonably expected future performance. Based upon our judgment of the positive
and negative evidence, we concluded that we would more likely than not be able to utilize most of our net
deferred tax asset. In late 2004, we established a valuation allowance and recorded an income tax expense of
$58.9 million based on our losses from operations in 2004 and based on our revised projections indicating
continued  challenging  Ñnancial  results.  Based  upon  our  most  recent  negative  operating  results,  which  we
consider as a strong indicator of our future ability to utilize our deferred tax assets, we established a valuation
allowance  on  certain  deferred  tax  assets  (principally  U.S.  loss  carryforwards)  created  during  2005  in
accordance with SFAS No. 109.

Accounting for Loss Contracts

In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, certain production contracts are accounted for using
the  percentage  of  completion  accounting  method.  We  recognize  revenue  based  on  a  measurement  of
completion comparing the ratio of costs incurred to date with total estimated costs multiplied by the contract
value. Inherent in these estimates are uncertainties about the total cost to complete the project. If the estimate
to complete results in a loss on the contract, we will record the amount of the estimated loss in the period the
determination is made. On a regular basis, we update our estimates of total costs. Changes to the estimate may
result in a charge or beneÑt to operations. In 2004, we estimated that the Red Storm contract would result in a
loss of $7.6 million, which was charged to cost of product revenue. During 2005, we increased the estimate of
the loss on the contract by $7.7 million (cumulative loss of $15.3 million) due to additional hardware to be
delivered to satisfy contractual and performance issues. This amount was charged to cost of product revenue.
As of December 31, 2005, and 2004, the balance in the Red Storm loss contract accrual was $5.7 million and
$3.1  million,  respectively  and  is  included  in  other  accrued  liabilities  on  the  accompanying  Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

Stock-Based Compensation

Through  December  31,  2005,  we  accounted  for  stock-based  compensation  under  the  intrinsic  value
method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (""APB No. 25''). Under the intrinsic value method, we did not record any expense when stock
options granted were priced at the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Certain of the

40

r
o
F

 
stock options granted in connection with the OctigaBay Systems acquisition in 2004 had exercise prices below
the fair market value of our common stock at the grant date and accordingly, we have recorded compensation
expense over the vesting period based on the intrinsic value method.

In  March  and  May  2005,  we  accelerated  vesting  of  certain  unvested  and  ""out-of-the-money''  stock
options with exercise prices equal to or greater than the current market price at the date of the acceleration.
These options were accelerated to avoid recording future compensation expense with respect to such options in
2006 and thereafter when we will be using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment,
(""SFAS No. 123(R)'') to account for stock-based compensation. We believed that because such options had
exercise prices substantially in excess of the current market value of our stock, the options were not achieving
their  original  objective.  Options  to  purchase  4.6  million  shares  of  common  stock  were  subject  to  the
acceleration and the weighted average exercise price of the options subject to the acceleration was $5.33. Due
to this acceleration, an additional $14.9 million is included in the pro forma stock-based compensation expense
for the year ended December 31, 2005. In December 2005, we repriced 1,274,260 existing stock options to
$1.49 per share and also issued 1,237,060 additional stock options at $1.49 per share (fair market price of our
common stock on the date of issuance) that had immediate vesting, in order to enhance short-term retention
and also to avoid future option expense charges.

Commencing  January  1,  2006,  we  adopted  SFAS  No.  123(R),  which  requires  us  to  record  stock
compensation expense for equity based awards granted, including stock options, for which expense will be
recognized over the service period of the equity based award based on the fair value of the award at the date of
grant. The actual eÅects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will be dependent on numerous factors including, but
not limited to, the number of options granted in the future; the valuation model chosen by us to value stock-
based awards; the assumed and actual award forfeiture rate; the accounting policies adopted concerning the
method of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period; and the transition method
chosen  for  adopting  SFAS  No.  123(R).  See  ""Recent  Accounting  Pronouncements''  below  for  further
information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As of December 31, 2005, we accounted for stock-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value
measurement provisions of APB No. 25. Accordingly, we recorded no compensation expense in 2005 and
previous years for stock options granted with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair value of the
underlying common stock at the date of grant. On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board  (the  ""FASB'')  issued  SFAS  No.  123(R), and  in  March  2005,  the  SEC  issued  StaÅ  Accounting
Bulletin  No.  107 (""SAB  No.  107'')  relating  to  the  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  123(R).  SFAS  No.  123(R)
eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to
stock compensation awards. Rather, SFAS No. 123(R) requires enterprises to measure the cost of services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of
grant.

We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) eÅective January 1, 2006, using the ModiÑed Prospective Application
Method and the Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model. Under this method SFAS No. 123(R) is
applied to new awards and to awards modiÑed, repurchased, or cancelled after the eÅective date. Additionally,
compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (such as
unvested options) that are outstanding as of the date of adoption is recognized as the remaining requisite
services are rendered. The compensation cost relating to unvested awards at the date of adoption is based on
the fair value at the date of grant of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under the original
SFAS No. 123, Stock Based Compensation.

We expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will impact our Ñnancial results in the future, as it is
expected to reduce our net income or increase our net losses. As of December 31, 2005, we have unamortized
stock-based compensation expense of $3.0 million, of which $1.9 million is expected to be expensed in 2006.
However, this amount does not reÖect the expense associated with equity awards that are expected to be
granted to employees in 2006. Management is currently reviewing its alternatives for granting equity based

41

awards and, while we expect to continue granting equity-based awards to our employees, the type, frequency
and  amount  of  award  are  still  under  consideration.  Accordingly,  the  overall  eÅect  of  adopting  this  new
standard on the Ñnancial results for 2006 has not yet been quantiÑed. The pro forma eÅects on net income and
earnings per share, if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of the original SFAS No. 123 on
stock compensation awards (rather than applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB No. 25),
are  disclosed  in  Note  3  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements Ì Summary  of  SigniÑcant  Accounting
Policies, Stock-Based Compensation of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Although such pro
forma  eÅects  of  applying  the  original  SFAS  No.  123  may  be  indicative  of  the  eÅects  of  adopting
SFAS No. 123(R) except for the impact of the acceleration of vesting of substantially all employee stock
options in 2005, the provisions of these two statements diÅer in important respects.

In  March  2005,  the  FASB  issued  Interpretation  (""FIN'')  47,  Accounting  for  Conditional  Asset
Retirement  Obligations. This  clariÑes  the  term  ""conditional  asset  retirement  obligation''  as  used  in
SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and provides guidance to ensure consistency in
recording legal obligations associated with long-lived tangible asset retirements. The adoption of FIN 47 did
not have a material eÅect on our Ñnancial position, cash Öows or results of operations.

In  May  2005,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  154,  Accounting  Changes  and  Error  Corrections,  a
replacement  of  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  20,  Accounting  Changes,  and  SFAS  No.  3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements (""SFAS No. 154''). SFAS No. 154 changes
the  requirements  for  the  accounting  for,  and  reporting  of,  a  change  in  accounting  principle.  Previously,
voluntary changes in accounting principles were generally required to be recognized by way of a cumulative
eÅect adjustment within net income during the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective
application to prior periods' Ñnancial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-
speciÑc eÅects or the cumulative eÅect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is eÅective for accounting changes made
in Ñscal years beginning after December 15, 2005; however, the statement does not change the transition
provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements.

In June 2005, the FASB issued StaÅ Position No. FAS 143-1, Accounting for Electronic Equipment
Waste Obligations (""FSP No. 143-1''). The European Union issued a directive to its member states to adopt
legislation  regulating  the  collection,  treatment,  recovery  and  disposal  of  electrical  and  electronic  waste
equipment. The directive distinguished between ""new waste'' and ""historical waste.'' FSP No. 143-1 provides
guidance  concerning  the  accounting  for  historical  waste  and  states  that  the  obligation  associated  with
historical  waste  qualiÑes  as  an  asset  retirement  obligation  to  be  accounted  for  in  accordance  with
SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and FIN No. 47, Accounting for Conditional
Asset  Retirement  Obligations.  We  have  certain  inventory  components  that  must  comply  with  this  new
directive but at this time we cannot quantify the impact to our Ñnancial results, as many of the European
Union member states have not Ñnalized legislation.

In November 2005, the FASB issued StaÅ Position No. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, (""FSP No. 115-1''). FSP
No. 115-1 provides accounting guidance for identifying and recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of
debt and equity securities, as well as cost method investments in addition to disclosure requirements. FSP
No. 115-1 is eÅective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and earlier application is
permitted. This new pronouncement will be eÅective in 2006 and we do not believe that adoption of FSP
No. 115-1 will have a material eÅect on our Ñnancial position, cash Öows or results of operations.

Product Revenue

The increase in 2005 product revenue over 2004 levels was due to increased sales of all three of our
principal products, the Cray X1E, the Cray XT3 and the Cray XD1 systems, which became available after a
production ramp-up during the Ñrst half of the year. In 2005, we recorded approximately $22.1 million in
product  revenue  from  the  Cascade  and  Red  Storm  development  projects  which  was  a  reduction  of
$27.4 million compared to 2004 due to reduced expenditures and associated revenue, in particular on the Red
Storm development project. Product revenue declined in 2004 from 2003 due to signiÑcantly reduced Cray X1
system sales and the inability to recognize revenue on certain Cray X1E and Cray XT3 systems delivered in
the fourth quarter of 2004, oÅset in part by an increase in Red Storm and Cascade development project
revenue of $29.9 million to $49.5 million for 2004.

We expect product as well as total revenue to grow in 2006 by approximately 5% to 15%, with revenue
primarily coming from sales of Cray XT3 and upgrade systems. A wider range of product revenue results is
reasonably possible Ì see ""Item 1A. Risk Factors,'' above. Included in this expected product revenue growth
is approximately $38 million to be recognized for our Cray X1/X1E installation at the Korea Meteorological
Administration (""KMA''). This system was accepted in the fourth quarter of 2005, is in production, and we
have  received  full  payment  but  contract  provisions  with  regard  to  signiÑcant  unfulÑlled  obligations  have
delayed our ability to recognize revenue on the contract until the fourth quarter of 2006. We expect our
product revenue to vary from quarter to quarter with nearly 60% of 2006 product revenue expected to be
recognized in the fourth quarter. Our 2006 plan is dependent on having an upgraded version of the Cray XT3
system delivered, installed and accepted by customers before year-end. Product revenue generated from the
phase 2 portion of the Cascade program should end in July 2006. Any future Cascade project funding in
phase 3 may not be recorded as revenue, but rather as a reduction to research and development expense, as we
expect the total amount of funding to be received in phase 3 to be less than the total estimated development
eÅort.

Service Revenue

Service revenue in 2005 decreased slightly from 2004 due to lower revenue on maintenance contracts as
older systems were withdrawn from service. Revenue from professional services increased by $2.8 million from
$3.7 million in 2004 due principally to a contract to refurbish certain components for a customer. Service
revenue decreased in 2004 from 2003 due to expiring maintenance contracts as older systems were withdrawn
from service.

Maintenance  services  are  provided  under  separate  maintenance  contracts  with  our  customers.  These
contracts generally provide for maintenance services for one year, although some are for multi-year periods,
often with prepayments for the term of the contract. We consider the maintenance period to commence upon
installation of the product, which may include a warranty period. We allocate a portion of the sales price to

43

maintenance service revenue based on estimates of fair value. We recognize revenue ratably over the entire
service period. Maintenance service revenue has declined on an annual basis as older systems are withdrawn
from service. While we expect our maintenance service revenue to stabilize over the next year, we may have
periodic revenue and margin declines as our older, high margin service contracts are ended and newer, lower
margin contracts are established, based on the timing of system withdrawals from service. Our newer products
will  likely  require  less  hardware  maintenance  and  therefore  generate  less  maintenance  revenue  than  our
historic vector systems.

Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of 2005 product revenue as a percentage of product revenue, although
improved compared to 2004, was impacted by several factors, including higher sales of the lower margin
Cray XD1 product, an additional $7.7 million charge for a change in the estimate to complete the Red Storm
project due principally to the addition of hardware deliverables to settle contract and performance issues, and
$5.8 million of charges for inventory write-downs, which includes scrap and obsolete inventory. Cost of 2004
product revenue was negatively impacted by inventory write-downs of $8.5 million, a $7.6 million charge to
record  the  initial  estimated  loss  on  the  Red  Storm  project,  a  $1.0  million  adjustment  for  unabsorbed
manufacturing overhead relating to lower than planned production of Cray X1 systems and signiÑcant revenue
recognized on the Cascade and Red Storm projects, which have a high cost to revenue percentage, with Red
Storm  cost  equal  to  revenue.  The  Red  Storm  and  Cascade  research  and  development  costs  totaling
$28.6 million, $57.3 million and $18.7 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, are reÖected on our
Ñnancial statements as cost of product revenue and the related reimbursements are recorded in our Ñnancial
statements  as  product  revenue.  Revenue  for  2005,  2004  and  2003  includes  $2.1  million,  $498,000  and
$316,000, respectively, from the sale of obsolete inventory recorded at a zero cost basis. In 2005, this amount
consisted mainly of the sale of a refurbished Cray T3E supercomputer, one of our legacy systems.

We  anticipate  increased  product  margins  in  2006,  although  still  below  our  desired  levels.  Sales  of
Cray XT3 and Cray XD1 systems face margin pressure from the highly competitive clustered systems market.
In addition, we expect total product margin will be adversely aÅected by low margin contribution from the
KMA system, which we expect to recognize in the fourth quarter of 2006, low margin contribution from the
Cascade project in the Ñrst half of the year and anticipated zero margin on revenue from the Red Storm
project, for which we have recorded estimated losses in 2005 and 2004. We also face increased risk of excess
and obsolete inventory as the Cray X1E and Cray XD1 products reach the end of their product life. We also
face increased risk and expense related to compliance with new European environmental rules. See ""Item 1A.
Risk Factors Ì New European environmental rules may adversely aÅect our operations.''

Cost of Service Revenue.

In both 2005 and 2004, our cost of service revenue was favorably impacted by
high margin professional service contracts, service cost reductions implemented in the fourth quarter of 2003
and the second half of both 2004 and 2005, and the completed amortization of legacy spare parts inventory by
March 31, 2004, oÅset in 2005 in part by increased costs incurred to achieve customer acceptances of large
Cray XT3 systems. We expect service costs for 2006 to approximate 58% to 65% of service revenue.

Net research and development expenses in 2005 primarily reÖect our costs associated with the hardware
and  software  associated  with  the  Cray  X1E,  Cray  XT3  and  Cray  XD1  systems,  and  the  Eldorado
multithreaded system, and their upgrade and successor projects. Net research and development expenses in
2004 reÖect our costs associated with the development of the Cray X1E, Cray XT3, Cray XD1 systems and
upgrade and successor projects, including related software development. Research and development expenses
include  personnel  expenses,  depreciation,  allocations  for  certain  overhead  expenses,  software,  prototype
materials and outside contracted engineering expenses.

Gross  research  and  development  expenses  in  the  table  above  reÖect  all  research  and  development
expenditures, including expenses related to our research and development activities on the Red Storm and
Cascade projects. Research and development expenses on our Red Storm and Cascade projects are reÖected
as  cost  of  product  revenue  and  government  co-funding  on  our  other  projects  are  recorded  as  reimbursed
research and development.

We have received increased government funding each year during this period. In 2005, net research and
development expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased as compared to 2004 due to higher revenue,
increased funding for our BlackWidow project, and the eÅect of the pay reduction program in the second half
of 2005, partially oÅset by option expense as we accelerated vesting on options issued in connection with the
OctigaBay acquisition in 2004. The higher 2004 percentage of total revenue compared to 2003 is due to lower
revenue earned in 2004 and to increases in research and development expenses for most of our products and
projects (including an increase of approximately $2.0 million to $2.5 million per quarter due to the OctigaBay
acquisition at the beginning of the second quarter in 2004).

In  2006,  we  expect  higher  gross  research  and  development  expenses  but  lower  net  research  and
development expenses, based on increased government project funding. This expectation assumes that we will
receive a phase 3 award in the DARPA HPCS program and thus have increased Cascade project activity in
the second half of the year. We will continue to incur development expenses for our Cray XT3 and upgrade
and successor systems and we expect increased activity on our BlackWidow and Eldorado projects. If we
receive a phase 3 DARPA award, our development costs will no longer be fully funded for that work and we
must contribute a portion of such costs that will be recorded in net research and development expenses. We
expect  to  receive  additional  funding  for  our  BlackWidow  and  Eldorado  projects,  although  anticipated
reimbursements on these projects have not yet been fully authorized and all necessary contracts have not been
completed. If these projects are not funded by the government as anticipated, or if we do not receive a phase 3
of DARPA HPCS project, our research and development expense could be much higher than anticipated and
have an adverse impact on our earnings in 2006.

Marketing and sales. The decrease in 2005 marketing and sales expenses compared to 2004 is due to
lower headcount, the pay reduction program in the second half of 2005 and lower discretionary spending, oÅset
in part by higher commissions on increased product revenue. The increase in 2004 compared to 2003 was
primarily due to an acceleration of expenses related to certain prepaid computer access services no longer
utilized and additional benchmarking, application and sales personnel related to the introduction of our three
new products. We also experienced an unfavorable currency exchange rate in our overseas personnel expenses
in  2004  compared  to  2003.  We  expect  marketing  and  sales  expenses  to  decline  in  2006  due  to  reduced
headcount, oÅset in part by re-establishment of full salaries and increased sales commissions due to higher
potential sales activity.

General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative expense in 2005 compared to
2004 was primarily due to the eÅects of our reduction-in-force, as well as the pay reduction program in the
second half of 2005; savings from which were oÅset in part by increased fees for external audit, Sarbanes-
Oxley compliance and legal fees. The increase in 2004 compared to 2003 was due primarily to consulting costs
related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and additional expenses as a result of our acquisition of OctigaBay,
including additional depreciation, insurance and utilities. We expect general and administrative expenses to
increase slightly in 2006 due to reestablishment of salaries, the executive retention and restricted stock grant
programs instituted in December 2005 and additional personnel in Ñnance.

Restructuring,  severance  and  impairment. Restructuring,  severance  and  impairment  charges  include
costs  related  to  our  eÅorts  to  reduce  our  overall  cost  structure  by  reducing  headcount.  During  2005,  we
implemented a worldwide reduction in workforce of approximately 90 employees, or 10% of our worldwide
workforce, primarily in manufacturing, sales, service and marketing in the second quarter and we incurred
additional  severance  charges  primarily  for  the  retirement  of  our  former  Chief  Executive  OÇcer,  James
Rottsolk, in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, we implemented an additional reduction of approximately
65 employees from our international sales, service and engineering operations, largely based in our Burnaby,
British Columbia, Canada facility with the remainder in Europe. We expect to incur additional restructuring
and severance costs in 2006 related to this fourth quarter 2005 action.

In connection with the 2004 acquisition of OctigaBay, we allocated $6.7 million of the purchase price to a
core technology intangible asset, which was associated with the Cray XD1 system. In connection with the
fourth quarter 2005 decision to incorporate the Cray XD1 system technology into the Cray XT3 line, as well
as  limited  expected  future  beneÑts  of  the  core  technology  obtained  in  the  acquisition,  we  evaluated  the
carrying value of the unamortized balance of the intangible asset of $4.9 million and determined that the
carrying value of the asset was impaired and accordingly recorded a charge for the $4.9 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005.

The 2004 costs primarily represented severance expenses related to the termination of 114 employees in
the United States and an additional 20 employees throughout the rest of the world in the second half of 2004.
Of the 2003 amount, $3.3 million represented severance expenses related to the termination of 27 employees,

primarily associated with our service activities in Europe and Japan, and the remaining $721,000 related to
expensing certain technology that we no longer use.

In-Process Research and Development Charge

As part of the acquisition of OctigaBay, we incurred an expense associated with acquired in-process

research and development of $43.4 million in the second quarter of 2004.

Other Income (Expense), net

During 2005, we recorded $1.4 million of net other expense, compared to net other expense of $699,000
in 2004 and net other income of $1.5 million in 2003. Other expense in 2005 and 2004 primarily consisted of
foreign currency losses on the remeasurement of foreign currency balances, principally intercompany balances.
Other income in 2003 primarily consisted of gains resulting from the remeasurement of foreign currency
balances, principally intercompany balances.

Interest Income (Expense), net

Interest income was $741,000 in 2005, $666,000 in 2004 and $657,000 in 2003. Interest income in 2005
and 2004 was related primarily to our cash and short-term investments balances, which, on average, were
consistent  with  the  balances  during  2003.  The  2003  interest  income  reÖects  our  increased  average  cash
position in 2003 following our public oÅering in February 2003 in which we raised $49.1 million.

Interest expense was $4.2 million in 2005, $301,000 in 2004 and $213,000 in 2003. Interest expense in
2005 represents $2.4 million of interest on our Notes, $1.0 million of non-cash amortization of fees capitalized
in connection with both our line of credit with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. (""WFF'') and our long-term debt
oÅering costs, and $765,000 of interest and related fees on our line of credit with WFF. The interest expense
for 2004 reÖects approximately one month of interest on our Notes, one month of amortization of the related
capitalized issuance costs and interest on our capital leases. The interest expense for 2003 reÖects interest on
our term loan for the Ñrst four months of the year and interest on our capital leases.

Taxes

BeneÑt from income taxes in 2005 was $1.5 million, which consisted of a $2.3 million beneÑt for foreign
deferred taxes, oÅset by current tax expense for local, state and foreign tax jurisdictions. We recorded an
income tax provision of $59.1 million in 2004, principally related to the establishment of a $58.9 million
valuation  allowance  against  deferred  tax  assets,  primarily  consisting  of  accumulated  net  operating  losses.
Under the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, management concluded that it
was unlikely that the future beneÑts of these deferred tax assets would be realized. In 2003, we recorded an
income tax beneÑt of $42.2 million, principally as a result of the reversal of $58.0 million valuation allowance
on deferred tax assets. There has been no current provision for U.S. federal income taxes for any period. We
have income taxes currently payable due to our operations in certain foreign countries, particularly in Canada
and certain European and Asian countries and in certain states.

As of December 31, 2005, we had tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $288 million that

will begin to expire in 2010 if not utilized.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss was $64.3 million in 2005 and $207.4 million in 2004, compared to net income of $63.2 million in
2003. The 2005 loss included a $7.7 million charge for additional 2005 estimated losses on the Red Storm
Ñxed-price contract and the restructuring, severance and impairment charges of $9.8 million.

The  2004  net  loss  included  signiÑcant  charges  consisting  of  an  income  tax  expense  of  $59.1  million
principally related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, a $43.4 million
write-oÅ of in-process research and development acquired as part of the OctigaBay acquisition, a $7.6 million

47

 
charge  to  recognize  the  initial  loss  estimated  on  the  Red  Storm  Ñxed-price  contract,  an  $8.2  million
restructuring charge, and an $8.5 million write-down of inventory.

Net income for 2003 was favorably impacted by the recognition of an income tax beneÑt for the reversal
of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $58.0 million which was partially oÅset by a $4.0 million
restructuring  charge.  We  reversed  the  valuation  allowance  based  on  our  determination  at  that  time  that
realization of these assets was more likely than not based on the criteria of SFAS No. 109.

We believe that year-over-year changes in net income are not necessarily predictive of our future net
income results for a variety of reasons. Accordingly, we encourage readers of our Ñnancial statements to
evaluate the eÅect on our operating trends in addition to the eÅect of future income tax provisions and changes
in currency exchange rates that may create signiÑcant additional variability in our future operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash,  cash  equivalents,  restricted  cash,  short-term  investments  and  accounts  receivable  totaled
$101.1 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $120.6 million at December 31, 2004. At December 31,
2005, we had working capital of $52.2 million compared to $93.6 million at December 31, 2004. In the fourth
quarter of 2004, we completed an oÅering of our Notes under Rule 144A in which we received net proceeds of
$76.6 million.

Net cash used by operating activities was $36.7 million in 2005, $52.7 million in 2004 and $8.7 million in
2003. For the year ended December 31, 2005, net operating cash was used primarily by our net operating loss,
decreases  in  accounts  payable  and  payroll  liabilities,  and  increases  in  accounts  receivable  and  inventory,
partially oÅset by an increase in deferred revenue. For 2004, net operating cash was used primarily by our net
operating  loss  and  an  increase  in  inventory,  oÅset  in  part  by  increases  in  deferred  revenue  and  accounts
payable and a decrease in accounts receivable. In 2003 net operating cash was used primarily by increases in
accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and other assets, which was oÅset in part by an increase in
deferred revenue.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $41.7 million in 2005, while net cash used in investing
activities was $29.9 million in 2004 and $41.2 million in 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash
provided  by  investing  activities  consisted  of  the  sale  of  short-term  investments,  partially  oÅset  by  the
purchases of short-term investments and equipment as well as a decrease in restricted cash. In 2004, net cash
used in investing activities consisted primarily of $12.5 million of capital expenditures, $11.4 million increase
in restricted cash and $6.3 million used for the acquisition of OctigaBay (which consisted of $15.9 million in
cash used in connection with the acquisition netted against $9.6 million in cash we acquired from OctigaBay's
existing business), oÅset by net sales of $317,000 of short-term investments. In 2003 net cash used in investing
activities was primarily for net purchases of short-term investments and equipment.

Net cash used in Ñnancing activities was $137,000 in 2005, while net cash provided by Ñnancing activities
was $84.2 million in 2004 and $65.1 million in 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash used in
Ñnancing activities consisted primarily of $755,000 paid for line of credit issuance costs and $731,000 for
payments on capital leases, oÅset by $1.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock through the
employee stock purchase plan and exercise of stock options. The 2004 net cash provided by Ñnancing activities
was  primarily  related  to  our  Note  oÅering  under  Rule  144A  in  which  we  received  net  proceeds  of
$76.6 million. In 2004 we also received approximately $8.3 million through stock option and warrant exercises
as well as through the issuance of common stock in connection with our employee stock purchase plan. The
2003 net cash provided by Ñnancing activities was primarily from our public oÅering, in which we received net
proceeds of $42.5 million, and $27.0 million from stock option and warrant exercises and the issuance of
common stock through the employee stock purchase plan, while we used $4.1 million to pay down a portion of
our debt.

Over  the  next  twelve  months,  our  signiÑcant  cash  requirements  will  relate  to  operational  expenses,
consisting  primarily  of  personnel  costs,  costs  of  inventory  and  spare  parts,  outside  engineering  expenses,
particularly as we continue development of our Cray XT3 and successor line and internally fund a portion of

the expenses resulting from the anticipated phase 3 of the Cascade program, interest expense and acquisition
of  property  and  equipment.  Our  Ñscal  year  2006  capital  budget  for  property  and  equipment  is  currently
estimated at approximately $10 million. In addition, we lease certain equipment used in our operations under
operating or capital leases in the normal course of business. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we completed
negotiation of changes to our lease for corporate oÇce space, which will lead to a decrease in our future cash
obligations in the amount of approximately $1.8 million over the lease term, which extends into 2008. The

We have $80 million of outstanding Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (""Notes'') which are due in
2024. These Notes bear interest at 3.0% (approximately $2.4 million per year) and holders of these Notes may
require us to purchase these Notes on December 1, 2009. Additionally, we have a two-year revolving line of
credit for up to $30 million, which expires in May 2007. No amounts were outstanding under this line as of
December 31, 2005. As of February 6, 2006, the Company was eligible to borrow $25.8 million against this
line of credit.

In our normal course of operations, we engage in development arrangements under which we hire outside
engineering resources to augment our existing internal staÅ in order to complete research and development
projects, or parts thereof. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we incurred $20.3 million,
$16.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for such arrangements.

At any particular time, our cash position is aÅected by the timing of cash receipts for product sales,
maintenance contracts, government funding for research and development activities and our payments for
inventory,  resulting  in  signiÑcant  quarter-to-quarter,  as  well  as  within  a  quarter,  Öuctuations  in  our  cash
balances. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, operations and credit facility.
We experienced lower than anticipated product sales and delays in the availability of our new products in
2004, which adversely aÅected cash Öows in 2005. We have used signiÑcant working capital in 2005, due to
our operating loss, increased inventory purchases and increased accounts receivable. Cash used in operating
activities  during  the  Ñrst  half  of  2005  was  partially  oÅset  by  improved  second-half  cash  Öow.  Assuming
acceptances and payment for large new systems to be sold and beneÑt from our 2004 and 2005 restructurings
and other recent cost reduction eÅorts, we expect our cash Öow to be slightly negative in 2006, although a wide
range  of  results  is  possible.  Currently,  we  do  not  anticipate  borrowing  from  our  credit  line  during  2006,
although it is possible that we may have to do so.

If we were to experience a material shortfall in our plans, we would take all appropriate actions to ensure
the continuing operation of our business and to mitigate any negative impact on our operating results and
available  cash  resources.  The  range  of  actions  we  could  take  includes,  in  the  short-term,  reductions  in
inventory purchases and commitments, seeking Ñnancing from investors, strategic partners and vendors and
other Ñnancial sources and further reducing headcount-related expenses.

We have been focusing on expense controls, negotiating sales contracts with advance partial payments
where possible, implementing tighter purchasing and manufacturing processes and improving working capital
management in order to maintain adequate levels of cash. While we believe these steps will generate suÇcient
cash to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months, we may consider enhancing our cash and
working capital position by raising additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that we would
succeed in these eÅorts or that additional funding would be available. Additionally, the adequacy of our cash
resources is dependent on the amount and timing of government funding as well as our ability to sell our
products, particularly the Cray XT3 and upgraded systems, with adequate margins. Beyond the next twelve

49

months, the adequacy of our cash resources will largely depend on our success in re-establishing proÑtable
operations and positive operating cash Öows on a sustained basis. See ""Item 1A. Risk Factors,'' above.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to Ñnancial market risks, including changes in interest rates and equity price Öuctuations.

Interest Rate Risk: We invest our available cash in investment-grade debt instruments of corporate
issuers  and  debt  instruments  of  the  U.S.  government  and  its  agencies.  We  do  not  have  any  derivative
instruments in our investment portfolio. We protect and preserve invested funds by limiting default, market
and reinvestment risk. Investments in both Ñxed-rate and Öoating-rate interest earning instruments carry a
degree of interest rate risk. Fixed-rate securities may have their fair market value adversely aÅected due to a
rise in interest rates, while Öoating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.
Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in
interest rates or we may suÅer losses in principal if forced to sell securities, which have declined in market
value due to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2005, we did not have any short-term investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: We sell our products primarily in North America, Asia and Europe. As a result,
our Ñnancial results could be aÅected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak
economic conditions in foreign markets. Our products are generally priced in U.S. dollars, and a strengthening
of the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets. While we commonly sell products
with payments in U.S. dollars, our product sales contracts occasionally call for receipt of cash in foreign
currencies and to the extent we do so, or engage with our foreign subsidiaries in transactions deemed to be
short-term in nature, we are subject to foreign currency exchange risks. In order to limit such risks on large
transactions that may extend over a longer period of time, we may choose to hedge this risk with a forward
exchange contract. Our foreign maintenance contracts are paid in local currencies and provide a natural hedge
against foreign exchange exposure. To the extent that we wish to repatriate any of these funds to the United
States, however, we are subject to foreign exchange risks. As of December 31, 2005, a 10% change in foreign
exchange rates could impact our earnings and cash Öows by approximately $924,000.

The in-process research and development charge in the 2004 second quarter related to our acquisition of
OctigaBay Systems Corporation. The large net loss in the third quarter of 2004 included the establishment of a
valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset of approximately $59 million.

Since the second half of 2004, we have reviewed our workforce requirements in light of our operating
results and have engaged in workforce reductions, particularly in the third quarter of 2004 and the second and
fourth quarters of 2005. The 2005 fourth quarter also reÖects a $4.9 million charge related to impairment of a
core technology intangible asset.

Our  operating  results  are  subject  to  quarterly  Öuctuations  as  a  result  of  a  number  of  factors.  See

""Item 1A. Risk Factors Ì Risk Factors Pertaining to Our Business and Operations.''

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the  time  periods  speciÑed  in  the  SEC's  rules  and  forms,  and  that  such  information  is  accumulated  and
communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our
management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive OÇcer, Chief Financial OÇcer
and Chief Accounting OÇcer/Corporate Controller, evaluated the eÅectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and determined that our disclosure controls and
procedures were eÅective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As disclosed in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
for each of the Ñrst three quarters of 2005, we reported material weaknesses in our internal controls over
Ñnancial reporting as discussed in more detail below.

As of December 31, 2005, we have remediated the previously reported material weaknesses in internal

controls over Ñnancial reporting. The reported material weaknesses and remediation results are as follows:

Control Environment.

In 2004, our control environment did not suÇciently promote eÅective internal
control  over  Ñnancial  reporting  throughout  our  management  structure,  and  this  material  weakness  was  a
contributing factor in the development of other material weaknesses described below. Principal contributing
factors included the lack of permanent employees in key Ñnancial reporting positions, resistance to change of
long-held practices developed in an entrepreneurial and trust culture, the lack of a formal program for training
members  of  our  Ñnance  and  accounting  group  and  a  lack  of  a  full  evaluation  of  our  Ñnancial  system
applications  due  to  incomplete  documentation  and  testing  of  key  controls.  Our  control  environment  also
contributed  to  our  inability  to  fully  evaluate  our  general  computer  controls,  Ñnancial  system  application
controls and tax controls, as described more fully below.

Remediation:

We  have  hired  permanent  employees  in  key  Ñnancial  reporting  positions  including  Chief  Financial
OÇcer, Chief Accounting OÇcer/Corporate Controller, Director of SEC Reporting, Internal Audit Director
and Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Executive, all of whom have worked to promote eÅective internal control
over Ñnancial reporting and improve our overall Company culture. We have instituted a training program for
the accounting personnel and have completed a full evaluation of our control environment which included our
general computer controls, Ñnancial system application controls and tax controls.

Risk Assessment.

In 2004, we did not perform a formal entity-level risk assessment to evaluate the
implications of relevant risks on Ñnancial reporting, including the impact of our diversifying business and non-
routine  transactions,  if  any,  on  our  internal  control  over  Ñnancial  reporting.  Based  on  the  signiÑcance  a
suÇcient entity-level risk assessment has on eÅective internal control over Ñnancial reporting, this represented
a design deÑciency and constituted a material weakness.

Remediation:

We  have  performed  a  formalized  entity  level  risk  assessment  using  the  criteria  established  by  the
Commission of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in ""Internal Control Ì Integrated
Framework'' report. This assessment was considered in the scope of our testing.

Segregation of Duties.

In 2004, we did not segregate duties in several important functions, including:
permitting one person the ability to receive inventory, perform cycle counts and process adjustments, and

53

F
o
r
m
1

-
K

 
another individual to initiate and authorize the scrapping of obsolete and excess inventory; permitting changes
to inventory quantity information within the Ñnancial application system without appropriate review; providing
users access within our Ñnancial application system to areas outside of their responsibilities; and permitting the
creation,  modiÑcation  and  updating  of  customer  or  vendor  data  without  a  secondary  level  of  review  or
approval.

Remediation:

We implemented changes to the various roles and responsibilities within the accounting department.
These changes addressed each of the above issues to ensure that adequate segregation was achieved or that
enhanced mitigating controls were in place and operating eÅectively. SpeciÑcally, we have added independent
inventory  counts  and  levels  of  independent  review  of  inventory  cycle  counts,  inventory  adjustments,
adjustments for scrapping excess and obsolete inventory, and creation or modiÑcation of customer and vendor
data.

Additionally, a complete general computer control review was performed of JD Edwards (the Ñnancial
system of record) which included related access controls and all other programs aÅecting the integrity of
Ñnancial data.

Inadequate StaÇng and Training in Finance and Accounting.

In 2004, we had a lack of resources and
inadequate training within our Ñnance and accounting departments. In the second half of 2004 our corporate
controller was assigned primary responsibility for our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance eÅort and in late 2004 both
our chief Ñnancial oÇcer and Ñnancial reporting manager separately left for other opportunities, stretching our
limited resources even further. Training for our accounting staÅ with respect to generally accepted accounting
principles (""GAAP'') had been ad hoc rather than systematic. As a result of these factors, certain transactions
were  not  recorded  initially  in  accordance  with  GAAP,  such  as  a  limited  number  of  third-party  vendor
contracts, leases and licenses; the capitalization of sales and use taxes on Ñxed assets and the internal labor
component of a Ñnancial application system implementation; and appropriate period-end cut-oÅ for ""FOB
Origin''  inventory  received  shortly  after  the  end  of  the  period.  These  deÑciencies  represented  a  design
deÑciency in internal controls which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not
have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.

Remediation:

K

1
m
r
o
F

We have added staÇng in a number of critical areas over the last year and since our last quarterly
reporting period. Those positions include a permanent Chief Financial OÇcer, Chief Accounting OÇcer/
Corporate Controller; Director of SEC Reporting, Internal Audit Director and Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance
Executive. In addition, the accounting managers and controllers have all received training during the last year.
Training occurred at all appropriate levels and there is a requirement for 16 hours of continued training in
2006  and  forward.  This  training  requirement  has  also  been  incorporated  into  employees'  performance
evaluations.

Inadequate Oversight of Accounting Transactions.

In 2004, we had insuÇcient processes and personnel
to provide adequate oversight of Ñnancially signiÑcant transactions and determinations by our Ñnance and
accounting personnel in our oÇces outside of headquarters. These deÑciencies represented a design deÑciency
in internal controls which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been
prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.

Remediation:

In addition to the staÇng added that provided additional levels of review, we have added additional
documentation of review of accounting entries and balance sheet reconciliation accounts. This review and
analysis has resulted in management's ability to identify errors and additional required disclosures through the
closing  process  rather  than  through  external  examinations.  In  addition,  management  has  maintained  a
schedule for the year-end closing process which has enhanced the review for completeness.

Inadequate  Controls  Over  Journal  Entry  Approvals.

In  2004,  we  did  not  have  appropriate  controls
around the process for recording and approving journal entries. We also noted instances where material journal

54

 
entries were recorded before subsequently provided supporting documentation was prepared or reviewed by
the accounting department. Instances also occurred in which journal entries were not adequately documented
and reviewed. These deÑciencies represented an operating eÅectiveness deÑciency in internal controls which
resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and
constituted a material weakness.

Remediation:

We have implemented procedures requiring completed supporting documentation for all journal entries.
The entries and the supporting documentation are reviewed by someone other than the preparer and checked
for accuracy, completeness, disclosure requirements and appropriateness.

Complex Contract Accounting Procedures.

In 2004, we did not have a consistent process in place to
document the signiÑcant terms of all important product sales contracts and our accounting for these contracts.
We enter into a small number of high dollar amount contracts for our product sales. These contracts often
contain complex terms that impact our recognition and determination of revenue (including customer rights of
return, multiple elements and contingencies that can have a material impact on the recognition or deferral of
revenue)  and  balance  sheet  classiÑcation  of  deferred  revenue.  In  a  limited  number  of  cases,  we  did  not
evaluate and document the consideration of such terms, and until late 2004 we did not have a process for
independent review of the accounting treatment and the associated revenue determinations for such contracts.
These deÑciencies represented a design deÑciency in internal controls which resulted in more than a remote
likelihood  that  a  material  error  would  not  have  been  prevented  or  detected,  and  constituted  a  material
weakness.

Remediation:

We performed a fair market analysis for all signiÑcant sales contracts for 2005 which have been reviewed
by the Chief Financial OÇcer or Chief Accounting OÇcer/Corporate Controller. In addition, large contracts
and those with long terms of installation and acceptance are now reviewed by the Chief Financial OÇcer and
Chief Accounting OÇcer/Corporate Controller.

Tax Controls.

In 2004, our processes for preparation and review of tax provisions were documented late
and complete testing was not possible. We were unable to demonstrate through testing that such internal
controls were implemented and operating as expected in 2004. The following deÑciencies noted in our limited
testing of tax controls constituted a material weakness: a failure to maintain eÅective review and controls over
the determination and reporting of the provision for income taxes, particularly the tax eÅect due to analysis of
subsidiary dividends; the tax eÅect of a correction of foreign net operating losses; and adjustments to deferred
taxes. These deÑciencies represented a design deÑciency in internal controls which resulted in more than a
remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material
weakness.

F

-
K

Remediation:

Procedures were implemented requiring the review of the tax provision and the related tax entries by the
Chief Financial OÇcer and Chief Accounting OÇcer/Corporate Controller where appropriate to determine
the suÇciency of the entries.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2005, we undertook and completed, our testing to validate compliance
with the newly implemented policies, procedures and controls. We have undertaken this testing over these two
quarters in order to be able to demonstrate operating eÅectiveness over a period of time that is suÇcient to
support our conclusions. In reviewing the result from this testing, management has concluded that the internal
controls over Ñnancial reporting have been signiÑcantly improved and that the material weaknesses described
above have been remediated as of December 31, 2005.

Except for the remediations discussed above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over
Ñnancial reporting during the most recently completed Ñscal quarter that have materially aÅected, or are
reasonably likely to materially aÅect our internal controls over Ñnancial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over Ñnancial
reporting as deÑned by Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over Ñnancial reporting is a
process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  Ñnancial  reporting  and  the
preparation of Ñnancial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over Ñnancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reÖect our transactions and dispositions
of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
Ñnancial  statements  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of
America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our
management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material eÅect on the Ñnancial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over Ñnancial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of eÅectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our  management  conducted  an  evaluation  of  the  eÅectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  Ñnancial
reporting based on the framework in ""Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework'' issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (""COSO'').  Based  on  this  evaluation  under  the
framework  in  ""Internal  Control Ì Integrated  Framework,''  our  management  concluded  that  our  internal
control over Ñnancial reporting was eÅective as of December 31, 2005.

Management's  assessment  of  the  eÅectiveness  of  our  internal  controls  over  Ñnancial  reporting  as  of
December  31,  2005  has  been  audited  by  Peterson  Sullivan  PLLC,  an  independent  registered  public
accounting Ñrm, as stated in their report which is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cray Inc.

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on
Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting,  that  Cray  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (""the  Company'')  maintained
eÅective internal control over Ñnancial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in
Internal  Control Ì Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the
Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  The  Company's  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  eÅective
internal control over Ñnancial reporting and for its assessment of the eÅectiveness of internal control over
Ñnancial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on
the eÅectiveness of the Company's internal control over Ñnancial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  eÅective  internal  control  over  Ñnancial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all  material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over Ñnancial reporting, evaluating
management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating eÅectiveness of internal control,
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A  company's  internal  control  over  Ñnancial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of Ñnancial reporting and the preparation of Ñnancial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A
company's internal control over Ñnancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reÖect  the  transactions  and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of Ñnancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  company;  and  (3)  provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the company's assets that could have a material eÅect on the Ñnancial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over Ñnancial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of eÅectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company maintained eÅective internal control over
Ñnancial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2005,  is  fairly  stated,  in  all  material  respects,  based  on  criteria
established in Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organiza-
tions of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects,  eÅective  internal  control  over  Ñnancial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2005,  based  on  criteria
established in Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organiza-
tions of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Cray Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss),
and  cash  Öows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  our  report  dated  March  15,  2006,  expressed  an  unqualiÑed
opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Cray  Inc.  (""Cray''  or  the  ""Company'')  designs,  develops,  manufactures,  markets  and  services  high
performance computer systems, commonly known as supercomputers. These systems provide capability and
capacity far beyond typical server-based computer systems and address challenging scientiÑc and engineering
computing problems for government, industry and academia. The Company has transitioned from oÅering a
single principal product in 2003, the Cray X1 system which incorporates both vector and massively parallel
technologies, to oÅering three principal products in 2005 Ì the Cray X1E system, an upgrade to the Cray X1
system  with  increased  processor  speed  and  capability;  the  Cray  XT3  system,  a  massively  parallel  high-
bandwidth  system  using  standard  commodity  processors;  and  the  Cray  XD1  system,  a  balanced  high-
bandwidth system employing standard commodity processors targeted for the mid-range market.

In 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of $64.3 million and used $36.7 million in cash for operating
activities. Management's plans project that the Company's current cash resources and cash to be generated
from operations in 2006 will be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity needs for at least the next twelve
months.  These  plans  assume  sales,  shipment  acceptance  and  subsequent  collections  from  several  large
customers,  as  well  as  cash  receipts  on  new  bookings.  Should  acceptances  and  payments  be  delayed
signiÑcantly,  the  Company  could  face  a  signiÑcant  liquidity  challenge  which  would  require  it  to  pursue
additional initiatives to reduce costs and/or to seek additional Ñnancing. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in its eÅorts to achieve future proÑtable operations or generate suÇcient cash
from operations, or obtain additional funding in the event that its Ñnancial resources become insuÇcient.

NOTE 2 RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the issuance of the December 31, 2004 consolidated Ñnancial statements, the Company
determined  that  certain  research  and  development  costs  were  incorrectly  charged  to  one  of  its  product
development contracts in 2004. The contract is accounted for under the percentage of completion method of
accounting. The error resulted in revenue being recognized prematurely on the contract. Accordingly, the
accompanying 2004 Ñnancial statements have been restated from the amounts previously reported to correct
this error. Additionally, the Company has reclassiÑed the cash Öow impact of changes in restricted cash from
Ñnancing activities to investing activities.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Principles

The  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  and  accompanying  notes  are  prepared  in  accordance  with

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned

subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

ReclassiÑcations

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassiÑed to conform with the current year presentation. There

has been no impact on previously reported net income (loss) or shareholders' equity.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of Ñnancial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that aÅect the amounts
reported  in  the  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  These  estimates  are  based  on
management's  best  knowledge  of  current  events  and  actions  the  Company  may  undertake  in  the  future.
Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, fair value allocation used in revenue recognition,
percentage of completion accounting, determination of inventory lower of cost or market, useful lives for

depreciation and amortization, future cash Öows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-
lived assets, as well as any fair value assessment, restructuring costs, deferred income tax assets, potential
income tax assessments and contingencies. Actual results could diÅer from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid Ñnancial instruments that are readily convertible to
cash and have original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. The Company maintains
cash  and  cash  equivalent  balances  with  Ñnancial  institutions  that  exceed  federally  insured  limits.  The
Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes its credit risk to
be minimal. The Company had no pledges nor any restrictions on any of its cash balances at December 31,
2005, except as described in Note 14 Ì Convertible Notes Payable and Lines of Credit. At December 31,
2004,  $11.4  million  of  the  Company's  cash  balance  was  restricted  for  outstanding  letters  of  credit  (see
Note 14 Ì Convertible Notes Payable and Lines of Credit).

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments generally mature between three months and two years from the purchase date.
Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classiÑed as short-term based on their highly liquid
nature and because such marketable securities are readily convertible into cash which could be used in current
operations. All short-term investments are classiÑed as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value, based
on  quoted  market  prices;  unrealized  gains  and  losses  are  reÖected  in  other  comprehensive  income.  The
Company held no short-term investments as of December 31, 2005. The Company had no pledges nor any
restrictions on its short-term investment balance as of December 31, 2004.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The  Company  currently  derives  the  majority  of  revenue  from  sales  of  products  and  services  to
U.S. government agencies or commercial customers primarily serving the U.S. government. See Note 17 Ì
Segment Information for additional information. Given the type of customers, the Company does not believe
its accounts receivable represent signiÑcant credit risk.

As  of  December  31,  2005  and  2004,  accounts  receivable  included  $8.8  million  and  $15.1  million,
respectively, due from Sandia National Laboratories on the Red Storm project. Of this amount, $8.3 million
and $5.5 million, respectively, was unbilled, based upon a milestone billing arrangement with this customer.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at principal amounts and are primarily comprised of amounts contractu-
ally due from customers for products and services and amounts due from government funded research and
development projects. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an evaluation
of customer account balances past due ninety days from the date of invoicing. In determining whether to
record an allowance for a speciÑc customer, the Company considers a number of factors, including prior
payment history and Ñnancial information for the customer. The Company had no pledges nor any restrictions
on  its  accounts  receivable  balances  in  2005  or  2004,  except  as  described  in  Note  14 Ì Convertible
Notes Payable and Lines of Credit.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The Company generally has the following Ñnancial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, short-term
investments,  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,  accrued  liabilities  and  convertible  notes  payable.  The
carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities

CRAY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these Ñnancial instruments. The fair value of
convertible notes payable is based on quoted market prices. The Company's convertible notes payable are
traded in a market with low liquidity and are therefore subject to price volatility. As of December 31, 2005, the
fair value of these convertible notes payable was approximately $44.0 million compared to their carrying value
of $80.0 million. As of December 31, 2004, the fair value of the convertible notes payable approximated their
carrying value. Short-term investments are recorded at their fair value.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost (on a Ñrst-in, Ñrst-out basis) which is not in excess of estimated current
market prices. The Company regularly evaluates the technological usefulness and anticipated future demand
for various inventory components and the expected use of the inventory. When it is determined that these
components do not function as intended, or quantities on hand are in excess of estimated requirements, the
costs  associated  with  these  components  are  charged  to  expense.  The  Company  has  no  pledges  nor  any
restrictions on any inventory balances at December 31, 2005 or 2004, except as described in Note 14 Ì
Convertible Notes Payable and Lines of Credit.

In connection with certain of its sales agreements, the Company may receive used equipment from a
customer. This inventory generally will be recorded at no value based on the expectation that the Company
will not be able to resell or otherwise  use  the equipment. In the event that  the Company has a  speciÑc
contractual plan for resale at the date the inventory is acquired, the inventory is recorded at its estimated fair
value.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Deprecia-
tion is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from
18 months to seven years for furniture, Ñxtures and computer equipment, and eight to 25 years for buildings
and land improvements. Equipment under capital lease is amortized over the lesser of the lease term or its
estimated useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or
the term of the lease. The cost of software obtained or inventory transferred for internal use is capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives, generally four years. The Company had no pledges nor any
restrictions  on  any  of  its  net  property  and  equipment  balance  at  December  31,  2005  or  2004,  except  as
described in Note 14 Ì Convertible Notes Payable and Lines of Credit.

In accordance with Statement of Position (""SOP'') 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed  or  Obtained  for  Internal  Use,  the  Company  has  capitalized  certain  costs  associated  with  the
implementation of software developed for internal use. Costs capitalized primarily consist of employee salaries
and  beneÑts  allocated  to  the  implementation  project.  The  Company  capitalized  no  costs  in  2005  and
approximately $0.8 million, and $1.1 million of costs associated with computer software developed for internal
use during the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Service Inventory

Service inventory is valued at the lower of cost or estimated market and represents inventory used to
support service and maintenance agreements with customers. As inventory is utilized, replaced items are
returned and are either repaired or scrapped. Costs incurred to repair inventory to a usable state are charged to
expense as incurred. Service inventory is recorded at cost and is amortized over the estimated service life of
the related product platform (generally four years). The Company has no pledges nor any restrictions on any
service inventory balances at December 31, 2005 or 2004, except as described in Note 14 Ì Convertible
Notes Payable and Lines of Credit.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (""SFAS'') No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of January 1, and
between  annual  tests  if  indicators  of  potential  impairment  exist,  using  a  fair-value  based  approach.  The
Company  currently  has  one  operating  segment  and  reporting  unit.  As  such,  the  Company  evaluates
impairment based on certain external factors, such as its market capitalization. No impairment of goodwill has
been identiÑed during any of the periods presented.

The Company capitalizes certain external legal costs incurred for patent Ñlings. The Company begins
amortization of these costs as each patent is awarded. Patents are amortized over their estimated useful lives
(generally Ñve years). The Company performs periodic review of its capitalized patent costs to ensure that the
patents have continuing value to the Company. As of both December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had a
balance of $1.1 million of net capitalized patent costs.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
management tests long-lived assets to be held and used for recoverability whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. As part of the 2004 OctigaBay
Systems  Corporation  acquisition,  the  Company  assigned  $6.7  million  of  value  to  core  technology.  In
December 2005 the Company announced plans to further integrate its technology platforms, and combine the
Cray XD1 and the Cray XT3 products into a uniÑed product oÅering. The expected undiscounted cash Öows
from the product using the core technology were not suÇcient to recover the carrying value of the asset. The
Company performed a fair value assessment similar to the original valuation and determined the asset had no
continuing value. The Company wrote oÅ the unamortized balance of its core technology intangible asset of
$4.9 million which is included in ""Restructuring, Severance and Impairment'' in the accompanying 2005
Consolidated Statements of Operations. No impairment of intangible assets was recorded during 2004 or 2003.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. In accordance with the
Securities and Exchange Commission StaÅ Accounting Bulletin (""SAB'') No. 104, Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements, the Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer,
title and risk of loss for products has passed to the customer, the sales price is Ñxed or determinable, no
signiÑcant unfulÑlled Company obligations exist, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In addition to the
aforementioned  general  policy,  the  following  are  the  speciÑc  revenue  recognition  policies  for  each  major
category of revenue and for multiple-element arrangements.

Products: The Company recognizes revenue from its product lines, as follows:

‚ Cray X1/X1E and Cray XT3 Product Lines: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales
upon customer acceptance of the system, when there are no signiÑcant unfulÑlled Company obligations
stipulated by the contract that aÅect the customer's Ñnal acceptance, the price is determinable and
collection  is  reasonably  assured.  A  customer-signed  notice  of  acceptance  or  similar  document  is
required from the customer prior to revenue recognition.

‚ Cray XD1 Product Line: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales of Cray XD1 systems
upon shipment to, or delivery to, the customer, depending upon contract terms, when there are no
signiÑcant unfulÑlled Company obligations stipulated by the contract, the price is determinable and
collection is reasonably assured. If there is a contractual requirement for customer acceptance, revenue
is recognized upon receipt of the notice of acceptance and when there are no unfulÑlled obligations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

Revenue from contracts that require the Company to design, develop, manufacture or modify complex
information  technology  systems  to  a  customer's  speciÑcations,  is  recognized  using  the  percentage  of
completion method for long-term development projects under AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Percentage of completion is
measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs. Total estimated
costs are based on several factors, including estimated labor hours to complete certain tasks and the estimated
cost of purchased components or services. Estimates may need to be adjusted from quarter to quarter, which
would impact revenue and margins on a cumulative basis. To the extent the estimate of total costs to complete
the contract indicates a loss, such amount is recognized in full at that time. On a regular basis, the Company
updates its estimates of total costs; changes to the estimate may result in a charge or beneÑt to operations.

In  2004,  the  Company  concluded  that  its  Red  Storm  contract  would  result  in  an  estimated  loss  of
$7.6 million. This amount was charged to cost of product revenue. During 2005, the Company increased the
estimate of the loss on the contract by $7.7 million (cumulative loss of $15.3 million) due to additional
hardware to be delivered to satisfy contractual and performance issues. This amount was also charged to cost
of product revenue. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the balance in the Red Storm loss contract accrual
was  $5.7  million  and  $3.1  million,  respectively,  and  is  included  in  ""Other  Accrued  Liabilities''  on  the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Services: Revenue  for  the  maintenance  of  computers  is  recognized  ratably  over  the  term  of  the
maintenance contract. Maintenance contracts that are paid in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. The
Company considers Ñscal funding clauses as contingencies for the recognition of revenue until the funding is
assured. High performance computing service revenue is recognized as the services are rendered.

Multiple-Element Arrangements. The Company commonly enters into transactions that include multi-
ple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of hardware, maintenance, and other services.
In  accordance  with  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force  Issue  No.  00-21,  Revenue  Arrangements  with  Multiple
Deliverables, when some elements are delivered prior to others in an arrangement and all of the following
criteria are met, revenue for the delivered element is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of such item:

‚ The element could be sold separately;

‚ The fair value of the undelivered element is established; and

‚ In cases with any general right of return, our performance with respect to any undelivered element is

within our control and probable.

If all of the criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until delivery of the last element as the elements
would not be considered a separate unit of accounting and revenue would be recognized as described above,
under our product line or service revenue recognition policies. The Company considers the maintenance period
to commence upon installation and acceptance of the product, which may include a warranty period and
accordingly allocates a portion of the sales price as a separate deliverable which is recognized as service
revenue over the entire service period.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities
of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses
are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and
losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity
involved are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Aggregate transaction gains and losses

included in net income or loss in 2005, 2004 and 2003 was a loss of $1.4 million, a loss of $361,000, and a gain
of $1.6 million, respectively.

Research and Development

Research  and  development  costs  include  costs  incurred  in  the  development  and  production  of  the
Company's  hardware  and  software,  costs  incurred  to  enhance  and  support  existing  software  features  and
expenses related to future product development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred,
and may be oÅset in part by government funding for certain development and services. Contract engineering
costs are expensed as incurred over the term of the development period. SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requires the capitalization of certain
software product costs after technological feasibility of the software is established. Due to the relatively short
period between the technological feasibility of a product and completion of product development, and the
insigniÑcance  of  related  costs  incurred  during  this  period,  no  software  development  costs  have  been
capitalized.

The Company classiÑes amounts to be received from funded research and development projects as either
revenue or a reduction to research and development expense based on the speciÑc facts and circumstances of
the  contractual  arrangement,  considering  total  costs  expected  to  be  incurred  compared  to  total  expected
funding  and  the  nature  of  the  research  and  development  contractual  arrangement.  In  the  event  that  a
particular arrangement is determined to represent revenue, the corresponding research and development costs
are classiÑed as cost of revenue.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary diÅerences between Ñnancial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities, operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and are measured using the enacted
tax  rates  and  laws  that  will  be  in  eÅect  when  the  diÅerences  are  expected  to  be  recovered  or  settled.
Realization  of  certain  deferred  tax  assets  is  dependent  upon  generating  suÇcient  taxable  income  in  the
appropriate jurisdiction. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts
that are more likely than not to be realized. The initial recording and any subsequent changes to valuation
allowance are based on a number of factors (positive and negative evidence), as required by SFAS No. 109.
The  Company  considers  its  actual  historical  results  to  have  stronger  weight  than  other  more  subjective
indicators when considering whether to establish or reduce a valuation allowance.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method, which
follows  the  recognition  and  measurement  principles  of  Accounting  Principles  Board  (""APB'')  Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, the Company
does not record any expense when stock options are granted to employees and are priced at the fair market
value of the Company's stock at the date of grant.

To estimate compensation expense which would be recognized under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-based Compensation, the Company uses the modiÑed Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the years ended December 31:

The weighted average Black-Scholes value of shares granted under the employee stock purchase plans
during 2005 and 2004 was $0.46 and $1.30, respectively. Fair values were estimated as of the dates of purchase
using the Black-Scholes fair value model with the following assumptions for 2005 and 2004: expected volatility
of 72% and 83%, respectively; risk-free interest rate of 3.5% and 1.5%, respectively; an expected term of
3 months for both years; and no dividend yield in either year.

If  compensation  cost  for  the  Company's  stock  option  plans  and  its  stock  purchase  plan  had  been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans in accordance with a fair
value based method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common
share  for  the  years  ended  December  31  would  have  been  the  pro  forma  amounts  indicated  below  (in
thousands). For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is amortized ratably to expense
over the options' vesting periods. Because the estimated value is determined as of the date of grant, the actual
value ultimately realized by the employee may be signiÑcantly diÅerent.

incurs advertising costs for representation at certain trade shows, promotional events, sales lead generation, as
well as design and printing costs for promotional materials. The Company expenses all advertising costs as

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (""EPS'')

Basic  EPS  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  available  to  common  shareholders  by  the  weighted
average number of common shares, including exchangeable shares but excluding unvested restricted stock,
outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  EPS  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  available  to  common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during
the period, which includes the additional dilution related to conversion of stock options, unvested restricted
stock and common stock purchase warrants as computed under the treasury stock method and the common
shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible notes. For the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock, warrants, and shares issuable upon conversion
of the convertible notes are antidilutive because of net losses, and as such, their eÅect has not been included in
the calculation of basic or diluted net loss per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As  of  December  31,  2005,  the  Company  accounted  for  stock-based  compensation  awards  using  the
intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB No. 25. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded for
stock options granted with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair value of the underlying common
stock at the date of grant. On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the ""FASB'')
issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (""SFAS No. 123(R)'') and in March 2005, the
SEC issued SAB No. 107 relating to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the
alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB No. 25 to stock compensation
awards. Rather, SFAS No. 123(R) requires enterprises to measure the cost of services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) eÅective January 1, 2006, using the ModiÑed Prospective
Application  Method  and  the  Black-Scholes  fair  value  option-pricing  model.  Under  this  method,
SFAS No. 123(R) is applied to new awards and to awards modiÑed, repurchased, or cancelled after the
eÅective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not
been rendered (such as unvested options) that are outstanding as of the date of adoption will be recognized as
the remaining requisite services are rendered. The compensation cost relating to unvested awards at the date of
adoption  was  based  on  the  fair  value  at  the  date  of  grant  of  those  awards  as  calculated  for  pro  forma
disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Stock-Based Compensation.

The Company expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will impact its Ñnancial results in the
future.  As  of  December  31,  2005,  the  Company  has  unamortized  stock-based  compensation  expense  of
$3.0 million, of which $1.9 million is expected to be expensed in 2006. However, this amount does not reÖect
any expense associated with equity awards that are expected to be granted to employees in 2006. Management
is currently reviewing its alternatives for granting equity-based awards and, while the Company expects to
continue  granting  equity-based  awards  to  its  employees,  the  type  and  amount  of  award  is  still  under
consideration. Accordingly, the overall eÅect of adopting this new standard on the Ñnancial results for 2006
has not yet been quantiÑed. The actual eÅects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will be dependent on numerous
factors including, but not limited to, the number of options granted in the future, the assumed and actual
award forfeiture rate, and the accounting policies adopted concerning the method of recognizing the fair value
of awards over the requisite service period.

In March 2005 the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (""FIN'') 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement  Obligations. This  clariÑes  the  term  ""conditional  asset  retirement  obligation''  as  used  in
SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and provides guidance to ensure consistency in
recording legal obligations associated with long-lived tangible asset retirements. The adoption of FIN 47 did
not have a material eÅect on the Company's Ñnancial position, cash Öows or results of operations.

In May 2005 the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement
of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting

Changes in Interim Financial Statements (""SFAS No. 154''). SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for,
the  accounting  for,  and  reporting  of,  a  change  in  accounting  principle.  Previously,  voluntary  changes  in
accounting principles were generally required to be recognized by way of a cumulative eÅect adjustment
within net income during the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior
periods' Ñnancial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-speciÑc eÅects or the
cumulative  eÅect  of  the  change.  SFAS  No.  154  is  eÅective  for  accounting  changes  made  in  Ñscal  years
beginning after December 15, 2005; however, the statement does not change the transition provisions of any
existing accounting pronouncements.

In June 2005, the FASB issued StaÅ Position No. FAS 143-1, Accounting for Electronic Equipment
Waste Obligations Pursuant to a European Union Directive, (""FSP No. 143-1''). The European Union issued
a directive to its member states to adopt legislation regulating the collection, treatment, recovery and disposal
of electrical and electronic waste equipment. The directive distinguished between ""new waste'' and ""historical
waste.'' FSP No. 143-1 provides guidance concerning the accounting for historical waste and states that the
obligation associated with historical waste qualiÑes as an asset retirement obligation to be accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and FIN No. 47, Accounting
for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. The Company has certain of its components that must comply
with this new directive but at this time cannot quantify the impact to its Ñnancial results, as many of the
European Union member states have not Ñnalized legislation.

In November 2005 the FASB issued StaÅ Position No. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, (""FSP No. 115-1''). FSP
No. 115-1 provides accounting guidance for identifying and recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of
debt and equity securities, as well as cost method investments in addition to disclosure requirements. FSP
No. 115-1 is eÅective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and earlier application is
permitted. This new pronouncement will be eÅective in 2006 and the Company does not believe that adoption
of FSP No. 115-1 will have a material eÅect on its Ñnancial position, cash Öows or results of operations.

Unbilled receivables represent amounts where the Company has recognized revenue in advance of the
contractual billing terms. The increase in the balance at December 31, 2005, is due to revenue recognized
based on percentage of completion accounting for the Red Storm contract in excess of contractual billing
milestones and a receivable with non-standard payment terms. Advance billings represent billings made based
on contractual terms for which no revenue is recognized. The increase in the advanced billings balance as of
December 31, 2005 is due to billings made to two customers; in one case based on a milestone agreement with
a U.S. government customer and in another case for maintenance services that will not be performed until
2006 and 2007.

The Company makes estimates of allowances for potential future uncollectible amounts related to current
period revenue of products and services. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate that considers
actual facts and circumstances of individual customers and other debtors, such as Ñnancial condition and
historical payment trends. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance utilizing a combination of
speciÑc identiÑcation of potentially problematic accounts and identiÑcation of accounts that have exceeded
payment terms.

The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts during 2005 was related to management's decision to
write oÅ certain aged receivables that had previously been fully provided for in the allowance for doubtful
accounts.

representing  the  fair  value  of  the  shares  issued,  to  ""Restructuring,  Severance  and  Impairment''  on  the
accompanying  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  for  this  issuance  and  related  release  from  future
obligations.

Litigation

Beginning on May 25, 2005, the Company and certain current and former oÇcers were served with six
securities class action complaints Ñled in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. On
October 19, 2005, the Court ordered the consolidation of these cases into a single action, and on November 15,
2005, the plaintiÅs Ñled an amended consolidated complaint. PlaintiÅs seek to represent a class of purchasers
of the Company's securities from October 23, 2002, through May 9, 2005. The consolidated complaint alleges
federal  securities  law  violations  in  connection  with  the  issuance  of  various  reports,  press  releases  and
statements in investor telephone conference calls, and seeks unspeciÑed damages, interest, attorneys' fees,
costs and other relief. On December 19, 2005, the Company and the individual defendants moved to dismiss
the consolidated complaint, which motion is pending before the Court.

On June 3 and June 17, 2005, two shareholder derivative complaints were Ñled in the U.S. District Court
for the Western District of Washington against members of the Company's Board of Directors and certain
current  and  former  oÇcers.  The  derivative  plaintiÅs  purport  to  act  on  the  Company's  behalf  and  assert
allegations substantially similar to those asserted in the putative class action complaints, as well as allegations
of breach of Ñduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust
enrichment. The complaints seek to recover on the Company's behalf unspeciÑed damages and seek attorney's
fees, costs and other relief. On August 29, 2005, the Court ordered the consolidation of these two cases into a
single action, and in October 2005 the Company was served with an amended derivative complaint containing
substantially identical allegations as in the earlier complaints. On November 18, 2005, the Company and the
individual defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated derivative complaint, which motions are pending
before the Court.

On January 9, 2006, the Company was served in two additional shareholder derivative complaints Ñled in
the Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County against members of the Company's Board of
Directors and certain current and former oÇcers and former directors. The derivative plaintiÅs purport to act
on the Company's behalf and assert allegations substantially similar to those asserted in the consolidated
derivative  case  previously  Ñled  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  Western  District  of  Washington.  The
complaints seek to recover on the Company's behalf unspeciÑed damages and seek attorneys' fees, costs and
other relief. On February 15, 2006, the two state court derivative actions were consolidated by order of the
Court.

The  Company  is  indemnifying  its  current  and  former  oÇcers  and  directors  named  in  each  of  the
foregoing actions, subject to an undertaking by each of them to repay the advanced fees and costs if it is
ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to such indemniÑcation.

Other

From time to time the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary
course of business or are not material to the Company's business. Additionally, the Company is subject to
income taxes in the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions and, in the ordinary course of business, there are
transactions  and  calculations  where  the  ultimate  tax  determination  is  uncertain.  Although  the  Company
cannot predict the outcomes of these matters with certainty, the Company's management does not believe that
the disposition of these ordinary course matters will have a material adverse eÅect on the Company's Ñnancial
position, results of operations or cash Öows. Because the Company is not at this time able to determine the
probability of outcome or any estimable losses, no amounts have been accrued for potential settlements.

tax  purposes.  As  of  December  31,  2005,  the  Company  had  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of
approximately  $288  million  and  gross  federal  research  and  experimentation  tax  credit  carryforwards  of

The 2004 net current deferred tax liability of $124,000 is included in ""Other Accrued Liabilities'' on the
accompanying  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets,  while  the  2005  net  current  deferred  tax  asset  of  $23,000  is
included in ""Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets'' of the same statement.

In September 2004, as a result of substantial losses during the year and based on revised projections
indicating  continued  challenging  operating  results,  the  Company  established  the  valuation  allowance  of
$58.9 million. In the fourth quarter of 2003, management determined that, based on its most recent operating
performance and its expected future performance, the Company was more likely than not able to utilize
certain of its U.S.-based deferred tax assets and therefore reduced the valuation allowance by approximately
$58.0 million. A summary of the changes to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was an increase of $29.6 million, an increase of $96.7 million, and a
decrease of $58.0 million, respectively.

Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently rein-
vested; accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon
repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both
U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the
various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is
not practicable due to the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation.

NOTE 14 CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND LINES OF CREDIT

In December 2004 the Company issued $80 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Convertible
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (""Notes'') in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These unsecured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.0%, payable
semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year through the maturity date of December 1, 2024.

The Notes are convertible, under certain circumstances, into the Company's common stock at an initial
conversion rate of 207.2002 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent
to an initial conversion price of approximately $4.83 per share of common stock (subject to adjustment in
certain events). Upon conversion of the Notes, in lieu of delivering common stock, the Company may, at its
discretion, deliver cash or a combination of cash and common stock.

The Notes are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations, ranking junior in right of payment to
the  Company's  existing  and  future  senior  indebtedness,  equally  in  right  of  payment  with  the  Company's
existing and future indebtedness or other obligations that are not, by their terms, either senior or subordinated
to  the  Notes  and  senior  in  right  of  payment  to  the  Company's  future  indebtedness  that,  by  its  terms,  is

existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally
subordinated to the claims of all creditors of the Company's subsidiaries.

Holders may convert the Notes during a conversion period beginning with the mid-point date in a Ñscal
quarter to, but not including, the mid-point date (or, if that day is not a trading day, then the next trading day)
in the immediately following Ñscal quarter, if on each of at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive
trading days ending on the Ñrst trading day of the conversion period, the closing sale price of the Company's
common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price in eÅect on that 30th trading day of such period. The
""mid-point dates'' for the Ñscal quarters are February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15. Holders may
also convert the Notes if the Company has called the Notes for redemption or, during prescribed periods, upon
the occurrence of speciÑed corporate transactions or a fundamental change, in each case as described in the
indenture governing the Notes. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, none of the conditions for conversion of
the Notes were satisÑed.

The Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes for cash at any time on or after
December 1, 2007, and prior to December 1, 2009, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a make whole premium of $150.00 per $1,000 principal
amount of Notes, less the amount of any interest actually paid or accrued and unpaid on the Notes prior to the
redemption date, if the closing sale price of the Company's common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion
price for at least 20 trading days in the 30-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date of
mailing of the redemption notice. On or after December 1, 2009, the Company may redeem for cash all or a
portion of the Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and
unpaid interest. Holders may require the Company to purchase all or a part of their Notes for cash at a
purchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on December 1,
2009, 2014, and 2019, or upon the occurrence of certain events provided in the indenture governing the Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company incurred $3.4 million of issuance costs, which
primarily  consisted  of  investment  banker  fees,  legal  and  other  professional  fees.  These  costs  are  being
amortized using the eÅective interest method to interest expense over the Ñve-year period from December
2004 through November 2009. A total of $676,000 was amortized into interest expense during 2005. The
unamortized balance of these costs of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2005, is included in ""Other Non-
current Assets'' on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Lines of Credit

On May 31, 2005, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo
Foothill,  Inc.  (""the  Credit  Agreement''),  providing  for  a  two-year  revolving  line  of  credit  for  up  to
$30.0 million. The credit line replaces the Company's previous line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The
Credit Agreement provides support for the Company's existing letters of credit while permitting the Company
to  use  previously  restricted  cash  of  $11.4  million  and  permitting  additional  cash  advances,  subject  to  a
borrowing base composed of (a) up to $20.0 million based on 100% of the Company's maintenance service
revenue for the trailing six-month period and (b) up to $10.0 million based on 85% of eligible accounts
receivable, as deÑned in the Credit Agreement, subject to other limitations provided in the Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company was eligible to use all $30.0 million of the credit line, which was
reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit at that date, or $11.3 million, to arrive at the calculated
borrowing base as of that date of approximately $18.7 million. As of February 1, 2006, outstanding letters of

credit were reduced from $11.3 million to $1.4 million, eÅectively increasing the calculated borrowing base to
$28.6 million; as of February 6, 2006, the calculated borrowing base was reduced by another $2.8 million to
$25.8 million as the credit line was used to support a forward currency contract on a speciÑc sales contract.
See Note 20 Ì Subsequent Events, below. The Credit Agreement provides for interest on a performance-
based  formula,  contains  covenants  to  maintain  or  achieve  certain  Ñnancial  performance  standards  and  is
collateralized by all of the Company's assets and pledges of the stock of its subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had met all but one of its covenants on the credit line, and
received a waiver from Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. for the applicable covenant. The Company also renegotiated
this covenant for the remainder of the agreement, which reduces the risk of future violation of this same
covenant. In connection with the initiation of the line of credit, the Company was obligated to pay a closing fee
of 2.5% of the maximum amount of the credit line, or $750,000, and other fees and costs customary for such
transactions. Half of the closing fee was paid at closing and half is payable one year from closing. These costs
have  been  capitalized  and  are  being  amortized  over  the  two-year  life  of  the  Credit  Agreement.  The
indebtedness under the Credit Agreement constitutes senior indebtedness under the indenture governing the
Company's outstanding convertible senior subordinated notes issued in December 2004. As of December 31,
2005, the Company had not drawn upon the credit facility.

In  connection  with  the  Credit  Agreement,  the  Company  issued  the  lender  a  four-year  warrant  to
purchase 200,000 shares of its common stock, with an exercise price of $1.65 per share, the closing price of its
common stock on the date the warrant was issued. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model, the fair value of
the  warrant  was  estimated  at  $219,000  and  is  also  being  amortized  over  the  two-year  life  of  the  Credit
Agreement, along with the fees described above. A total of $1.3 million in fees was capitalized in connection
with  the  line  of  credit  which  has  been  recorded  in  ""Other  Non-current  Assets''  on  the  accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2005, $962,000 is the unamortized balance, with $332,000
included in interest expense during 2005.

The Company's $25.0 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. expired on April 29,
2004.  Subsequent  to  April  29,  2004,  the  Company  was  granted  extensions  of  the  line  of  credit  through
December 1, 2004, with no material changes to the terms and conditions. Subsequent to December 1, 2004,
the Company negotiated a $15.0 million secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which was used
only  to  support  outstanding  letters  of  credit.  At  December  31,  2004,  the  Company  had  $11.4  million  of
outstanding letters of credit. The Company was required to maintain cash and short-term investment balances
at least equal to the outstanding letters of credit. As such, the Company designated $11.4 million of its cash as
restricted cash at December 31, 2004.

NOTE 15 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common  Stock:

In  the  Ñrst  quarter  of  2003,  the  Company  completed  a  public  oÅering  of
8,480,000 shares of newly issued common stock, and an additional 145,000 shares of common stock from
certain selling shareholders, at a public oÅering price of $6.20 per share. The Company received from the
oÅering, after underwriting discount and selling expenses, net proceeds of $49.1 million. The Company used
the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

On April 1, 2004, the Company issued 7,560,885 shares of its common stock and 4,840,421 exchangeable
shares  in  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  OctigaBay  Systems  Corporation.  See  Note  18 Ì OctigaBay
Acquisition.

Exchangeable Shares: Shares of exchangeable stock were issued by one of the Company's Nova Scotia
subsidiaries in connection with the April 2004 acquisition of OctigaBay Systems Corporation (""OctigaBay'').
Exchangeable stock is, as nearly as practicable, the economic equivalent of the Company's common stock.
Through  the  provisions  of  the  exchangeable  stock  and  related  acquisition  documents,  holders  of  the

exchangeable stock have the right to exchange such stock for the Company's common stock on a one-for-one
basis. Holders also have the right to receive the same dividends and distributions paid on the Company's
common stock and the right to participate in certain liquidation events on a pro rata basis with holders of the
Company's common stock. Holders of exchangeable stock do not have the right to vote, however, as holders of
the Company's common stock. All remaining shares of exchangeable stock outstanding on December 31,
2005, were exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of the Company's common stock in January 2006.

Preferred Stock: The Company has 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock authorized, and

no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Shareholder Warrants: At December 31, 2005, the Company had outstanding and exercisable warrants

to purchase an aggregate of 5,634,049 shares of common stock, as follows:

Restricted Stock:

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,965,000 shares
of restricted stock to certain executives and management employees from the Company's 2004 Long Term
Equity  Compensation  Plan.  These  shares  will  become  fully  vested  on  June  30,  2007.  The  Company  has
recorded a deferred compensation charge of $2.8 million for the issuance of these shares, and will recognize
compensation  expense  ratably  over  the  18-month  vesting  period.  The  Company  recorded  $70,000  for
amortization of deferred compensation on these shares in December 2005.

Stock Option Plans: As of December 31, 2005, the Company had Ñve active stock option plans that
provide  for  option  grants  to  employees,  directors  and  others.  Options  granted  to  employees  under  the
Company's option plans generally vest over four years or as otherwise determined by the plan administrator;
however, options granted during 2005 were generally granted with full vesting on or before December 31,
2005,  in  order  to  avoid  additional  expense  related  to  the  options  under  the  implementation  of
SFAS No. 123(R). Options to purchase shares expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.

On December 20, 2005, the Company announced a stock option repricing for certain outstanding options
as of that date, the purpose of which was to reduce the number of new options needed for grant at the same
time, since the Company had a limited number of shares available for such grant. A total of 1,274,260 options
with original exercise prices from $3.63 to $8.53 per share were repriced to an exercise price of $1.49 per share,
all of which were fully vested at the time of repricing. Per the requirements of FIN No. 44, Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, the stock option modiÑcation resulted in variable stock
option accounting from the date of repricing until the end of the year; however, because the closing price of
the Company's common stock on December 31, 2005, was less than the re-grant price, no compensation
expense was recorded.

Twice  during  2005,  the  Board  of  Directors  approved  the  acceleration  of  the  vesting  of  all  unvested
outstanding stock options previously granted to employees and executive oÇcers under the Company's stock
option plans which exceeded certain exercise price thresholds. In March 2005 the threshold for accelerated
vesting was all options with a per share exercise price of $2.36 or higher (the market price of the Company's
common stock on the date of the change), while in May 2005 the threshold was all options with a per share
exercise price of $1.47 or greater (the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the

change). This acceleration resulted in options to acquire approximately 4.6 million shares of the Company's
common  stock  becoming  immediately  exercisable.  Options  granted  to  consultants  and  to  non-employee
directors were not accelerated. All other terms and conditions applicable to outstanding stock option grants,
including the exercise prices and numbers of shares subject to the accelerated options, were unchanged. The
acceleration resulted in a charge to income of approximately $1.1 million related to the deferred compensation
of previously unvested options granted as part of the OctigaBay acquisition in April 2004. The acceleration
eliminates  future  compensation  expense  that  the  Company  would  have  recognized  in  its  statement  of
operations with respect to these options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, which
requires expensing of stock options over the service period in which they vest.

In connection with a restructuring plan announced in June 2005, the Company amended the stock option
grants  for  certain  terminated  employees  to  extend  the  exercise  period  of  vested  stock  options,  which  is
normally three months from the date of termination. No compensation expense was recorded as the fair
market value of the Company's stock (the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of the
change) was less than the respective stock option exercise prices.

In accordance with FIN 44, the unamortized intrinsic value of unvested options assumed in the April
2004 acquisition of OctigaBay is included in deferred compensation. The Company measured this intrinsic
value based on the number of options granted and the diÅerence between the converted exercise price of the
options and the fair value of the underlying common stock-based on the quoted price of the Company's
common stock at the date the options were assumed. The deferred compensation has been amortized over the
requisite service periods. Allocation of this acquisition-related deferred compensation expense to the operating
categories for years ended December 31 is as follows (in thousands):

Employee Stock Purchase Plan:

In 2001, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(""2001 ESPP''), which received shareholder approval in May 2002. The maximum number of shares of the
Company's  common  stock  that  employees  could  acquire  under  the  2001  ESPP  is  4,000,000  shares.  Eligible
employees  are  permitted  to  acquire  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock  through  payroll  deductions  not
exceeding 15% of base wages. The purchase price per share under the 2001 ESPP was the lower of (a) 85% of the
fair market value of the Company's common stock at the beginning of each three month offering period, or (b) the
fair market value of the common stock at the end of each three month offering period. As of December 31, 2005
and 2004, 1,850,131 and 1,048,889 shares, respectively, had been issued under the 2001 ESPP.

As of the purchase period that began on December 16, 2005, the Company has amended the purchase
price per share in order to avoid additional expense that would otherwise be recorded under the SFAS 123(R)
rules. For purchase periods commencing on or after that date, the purchase price per share under the 2001
ESPP will be 95% of the closing market price on the fourth business day after the end of each oÅering period.

requirements of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The Company paid $14,925,000 in cash and issued
7,560,885 shares of Cray common stock and 4,840,421 exchangeable shares. The Company also assumed
outstanding OctigaBay stock options exercisable for 740,722 shares of Cray common stock. Of the total shares
issued  and  reserved,  1,861,000  shares  were  not  included  in  the  purchase  price  calculation  because  they
represented repurchaseable shares that were earned over the repurchase period. OctigaBay was a development
stage company and was in the process of developing an innovative high-performance computing system. The
fair value of the in-process research and development (""IPR&D'') and the core technology was estimated
using the income approach, which reÖects the net present value of the projected cash Öows expected to be
generated by the products incorporating the in-process technology. The discount rate applicable to the cash
Öows of the products reÖected the estimated stage of completion and other risks inherent in the project. The
discount rate used in the valuation of IPR&D was 24.5%. The fair value of IPR&D was estimated to be
$43.4 million with an estimated cost to complete of $8.0 million. The in-process technology was substantially

The Company recorded deferred compensation of $12.4 million resulting from retention agreements with
key OctigaBay personnel and $2.2 million from existing stock options assumed in the OctigaBay acquisition.
The retention agreements expired in November 2005, although the retention agreements for three employees
were terminated at the end of 2004, and the related deferred compensation of approximately $4.7 million was
immediately recognized. The assumed stock options were accelerated in 2005 with the rest of the applicable
groups of stock options, as described in Note 15 Ì Shareholders' Equity, and resulted in a charge to income of
approximately $1.1 million related to the deferred compensation of previously unvested options granted as part
of the OctigaBay acquisition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (Continued)

NOTE 20 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On  February  6,  2006,  the  Company  entered  into  a  forward  contract  for  14,994,000  (British  pound
sterling) as a cash Öow hedge on the foreign currency exposure related to a sales contract denominated in
British  pound  sterling.  This  sales  contract  is  expected  to  be  billed  in  milestones  based  on  the  Company
meeting contractual and product delivery commitments. The forward contract matures in April 2006 and the
Company  plans  to  rollover  the  forward  contract  for  amounts  yet  to  be  collected  until  the  underlying
transactions (milestone cash payment from the customer) have been completed, which is expected to be
December  2006.  The  Company  has  an  approved  hedging  policy  which  requires  speciÑc  designation  of
transactions to be hedged. This forward contract was designated as a cash Öow hedge on the speciÑc sales
contract. As a result of entering into the forward contract, the availability under the line of credit with Wells
Fargo Foothill, Inc. was reduced by $2.8 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cray Inc.

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Cray  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as  of
December  31,  2005,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  shareholders'  equity  and
comprehensive income (loss), and cash Öows for the year then ended. These Ñnancial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ñnancial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  Ñnancial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Ñnancial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signiÑcant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall Ñnancial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material
respects, the Ñnancial position of Cray Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the results of their
operations  and  their  cash  Öows  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2005,  in  conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2005 basic consolidated Ñnancial
statements  taken  as  a  whole.  The  Ñnancial  statement  schedule  listed  in  the  index  at  Item  15(a)(2)  is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated Ñnancial
statements.  This  schedule,  for  one  year  ended  December  31,  2005,  has  been  subjected  to  the  auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the 2005 basic consolidated Ñnancial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the 2005 basic consolidated Ñnancial statements taken as a whole.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the eÅectiveness of Cray Inc. and subsidiaries' internal control over Ñnancial reporting
as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated
March 15, 2006, expressed an unqualiÑed opinion on management's assessment of the eÅectiveness of internal
control over Ñnancial reporting and an unqualiÑed opinion on the eÅectiveness of internal control over Ñnancial
reporting.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cray Inc.
Seattle, Washington

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Cray  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (the
""Company'') as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity  and  comprehensive  income  (loss),  and  cash  Öows  for  each  of  the  two  years  in  the  period  ended
December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the Ñnancial statement schedule for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 2004, listed in the Index at Item 15. These Ñnancial statements and Ñnancial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these Ñnancial statements and Ñnancial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Ñnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes
examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  Ñnancial  statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and signiÑcant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall Ñnancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated Ñnancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Ñnancial
position of Cray Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and
their cash Öows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such Ñnancial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic consolidated Ñnancial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying Ñnancial statements as of and for the year ended Decem-

ber 31, 2004, have been restated.
