NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 2, 1994
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and in the opinion of management include
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
annual report and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 1994.
The Company's fiscal year is based on a 52-53 week calendar ending the
Saturday closest to December 31. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Sequent Computer Systems, Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company or Sequent). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire
year.
Accounts Receivable
In July 1994, the Company entered into a two year agreement with a group of
banks to sell, without recourse, undivided ownership interests in a revolving
pool consisting of substantially all of the Company's domestic accounts
receivable for a maximum of $20 million. At July 2, 1994, accounts
receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is net of $8
million received by the Company under this agreement.
Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:
(in thousands)

Less Accum. Depr. & Amort. 81,590 72,459
$ 94,999 $ 86,309
Research and Development
Amortization of capitalized software costs, generally based on a three-year
life, was $3.1 million and $5.8 million for the three month and six month
periods ended July 2, 1994, respectively. Amortization for the same periods
in 1993 was $2.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
Restructuring Charge
The realignment of resources to provide open distributed client/server
computing solutions, professional service consulting and architecture-led
selling, marketing and engineering strategies is progressing according to
plan. The $3.5 million remaining accrual is primarily related to obligations
associated with closed facility leases and future extended employee benefit
costs. Management expects that the remaining accrual will be fully utilized
according to the realignment plan. The fourth quarter of 1993 restructuring
reduced operating expenses by approximately $2 million for the second quarter
and $4 million for the first six months of 1994.
Notes Payable
The Company has an unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks
which provides short-term borrowings of up to $30 million (reduced from $50
million). No borrowings were outstanding at July 2, 1994.
The Company has a short-term borrowing agreement with a foreign bank as a hedge
to cover certain foreign currency exposures. During July 1994, the Company re-
negotiated the agreement to a maximum of approximately $59 million and extended
the agreement through July 1995. At July 2, 1994, borrowings of $37.7 million
were outstanding under this agreement.
In July 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with a domestic bank for an
additional hedging facility to cover certain foreign currency exposures.
Proceeds from the borrowings are converted into U.S. dollars and placed in a
term deposit account. The agreement is for a maximum of $10 million and
expires December 31, 1994. Under this agreement, $10 million of the
borrowings were outstanding as of July 2, 1994.
Income Taxes
Effective the beginning of fiscal 1992, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes" (FAS
109). The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate principally
due to tax benefits from the Company's foreign sales corporation and tax
benefits related to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards which
the Company has available.
Earnings Per Share
See Exhibit 11 for the computation of average shares outstanding and earnings
per share.
Significant Customers
The Company has no single customer that represents greater than 10% of total
revenue for the quarters ending July 2, 1994 and July 3, 1993.
Geographic Segment Information
Export and foreign revenue was $51.8 million (44% of total revenue) for the
three months ended July 2, 1994 and $93.9 million (35% of total revenue) for
the six months then ended. Export and foreign revenue was $35.9 million and
$69.6 million (44% and 44% of total revenue, respectively) for the
corresponding periods in 1993. The Company's United States operations
generated operating income of $7.0 million for the three months ended July 2,
1994 and $11.0 million for the six months then ended. Foreign operations
generated operating income of $900,000 and $2.9 million during the
corresponding periods in 1994. Comparable operating income for the second
quarter and first six months of 1993 were $1.9 million and $7.4 million for
U.S. operations and $500,000 and $900,000 for foreign operations.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
July 2, 1994
GENERAL
Total revenue was $108.8 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared to
$80.8 million in the second quarter of 1993. Total revenue was $202.7 million
in the first six months of 1994 compared to $158.4 million in the first six
months of 1993. Net income was $7.2 million in the second quarter of 1994
compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 1993. Net income was $11.9
million in the first six months of 1994 compared to $3.7 million in the first
six months of 1993. The Company's total revenue and net income for the second
quarter and first six months of 1994 have benefited from the Company's
continuing success in managing the Company's transition from platform vendor
to provider of open systems, architecture and professional services as well as
continued success in systems services business while at the same time keeping
selling, general and administrative and other expenses to modest increases
over 1993.

End-user product revenue $ 74.5 32% $ 56.4 $ 138.1 24% $ 111.8
Service and other revenue 26.3 46% 18.0 48.7 43% 34.0
Total end-user revenue 100.8 35% 4.4 186.8 28% 145.8
OEM product revenue 8.0 25% 6.4 15.9 26% 12.6
Total revenue $ 108.8 35% $ 80.8 202.7 28% $ 158.4
Export and Foreign Revenue $ 51.8 44% $ 35.9 $ 93.9 35% $ 69.6
End-user product revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 1994
improved over the corresponding quarter and six month period in 1993 due to
strong results from the Western United States operations and Europe.
Service and other revenue continued to benefit from the growing installed
customer base and increases in professional services revenue. OEM product
revenue is substantially sales to Unisys Corporation.
Export and foreign revenue was 48% of total revenue in the second quarter and
46% of total revenue in the first six months of 1994 and 44% of total revenue
in both the corresponding quarter and six months of 1993. The increase in
export and foreign revenue as a percentage of total revenue in the second
quarter and first six months of 1994 compared to the corresponding periods in
1993 was due to significant revenue increases in Europe.
COST OF SALES
(dollars in millions)
Quarter Ended Six Months Ended
July 2, July 3, July 2, July 3,
1994 1993 1994 1993
Total cost of goods sold $ 60.2 $ 41.8 $ 109.1 $ 79.1
As a percentage of total revenue 55% 52% 54% 50%
Total cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue increased in the
second quarter and first six months of 1994 compared to the corresponding
periods of 1993 primarily due to product mix with lower margin service and
other revenue increasing as a percentage of total revenue, product pricing
pressures and, in the second quarter of 1994, lower margin third party pass
through product.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Quarter Ended Six Months Ended

Software costs capitalized $ 4.5 $ 5.1 $ 9.3 $ 10.3
Research and development costs remained relatively constant as a percentage of
total revenue comparing both the second quarter and first six months of 1994
and 1993. Research and development costs include continued investment in new
product development and enhancements to existing products.
Software costs capitalized decreased in the second quarter and first six
months of 1994 due to greater emphasis on hardware development for future
products, which costs are expensed as incurred.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

As a percentage of total revenue 30% 38% 31% 37%
Selling, general and administrative costs increased 5% and 7% in the second
quarter and first six months of 1994, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods in 1993. Selling, general and administrative costs
decreased as a percentage of total revenue in the first six months of 1994
compared to the corresponding period in 1993 due to greater total revenue
levels along with cost control.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
The realignment of resources to provide open distributed client/server
computing solutions, professional service consulting and architecture-led
selling, marketing and engineering strategies is progressing according to
plan. The $3.5 million remaining accrual is primarily related to obligations
associated with closed facility leases and future extended employee benefit
costs. Management expects that the remaining accrual will be fully utilized
according to the realignment plan. The fourth quarter of 1993 restructuring
reduced operating expenses by approximately $2 million for the second quarter
and $4 million for the first six months of 1994.
INTEREST AND OTHER, NET

Provisions for income taxes 1.2 -- 1.9 0.9
Interest income in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 and 1993
was primarily generated from deposits related to the proceeds of borrowings
from a foreign bank to cover foreign currency exposures and, in 1993, the
investment of proceeds from the February 1993 common stock offering.
Interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 and 1993
represents charges related to the Company's capital lease obligations, long-
term debt and borrowings under the short-term borrowing agreement to cover
certain foreign currency exposures.
Other, net primarily represents effects of foreign currency transactions and
other miscellaneous non-operating income and expenses.
The provision for income taxes in the second quarter and first six months of
1994 includes benefits related to the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. The Company has unused net operating loss carryforwards which
are available to reduce future income taxes expense and income taxes payable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital increased to $140.8 million at July 2, 1994 from $134.2
million at January 1, 1994. The Company's current ratio at July 2, 1994 and
January 1, 1994 was 2.2:1 and 2.1:1, respectively.
For the first six months of 1994, cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.8
million. The Company continues to invest in property and equipment ($23.7
million) and capitalized software ($9.3 million). Other uses of funds were
reductions in accounts payable and other ($15.8 million) and increase in
inventories ($5.6 million). Primary sources of funds were net income and
depreciation and amortization ($33.2 million), reduction in net receivables
($6.9 million), reductions in investments ($5.0 million) and stock issuance
proceeds from employee stock purchase and stock option plans ($5.7 million).
Inventories increased due to investments in the transition to the Symmetry
5000 product family. Accounts payable and other decreased due to the
liquidation of outstanding trade accounts payable.
In July 1994, the Company entered into a two year agreement with a group of
banks to sell, without recourse, undivided ownership interests in a revolving
pool consisting of substantially all of the Company's domestic accounts
receivable for a maximum of $20 million. At July 2, 1994, accounts
receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is net of $8 million
received by the Company.
The Company continues to maintain a line of credit with a group of banks of
$30 million (reduced from $50 million) for operating purposes and a short-term
borrowing agreement with a foreign bank of approximately $59 million as a
hedge facility to cover certain foreign currency exposures. At July 2, 1994
no borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit and $37.7 million was
outstanding under the short-term borrowing agreement with the foreign bank.
In July 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with a domestic bank for
an additional hedging facility to cover certain foreign currency exposures.
Proceeds from the borrowings are converted into U.S. dollars and placed in a
term deposit account. The agreement is for a maximum of $10 million and
expires December 31, 1994. Under this agreement, $10 million of the
borrowings were outstanding as of July 2, 1994.
Management expects that current funds, funds from operations, the bank lines
of credit and sales of accounts receivables will provide adequate resources to
meet the Company's anticipated cash requirements through 1994.
