BUSINESS RadiSys Corporation ("RadiSys" or the "Company") is a significant independent designer and manufacturer of embedded computer solutions used by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") for products in the manufacturing automation, telecommunications, medical devices, transportation, retail/office automation, and the test and measurement industries. Unlike general purpose computers, embedded computer solutions are incorporated into systems and equipment to provide a single or a limited number of critical system control functions and are generally integrated into larger automated systems. RadiSys' embedded computers are based upon the Intel x86 architecture and are typically capable of running PC-compatible operating systems and application software. The Company offers a broad spectrum of solutions, including application-specific embedded computer subsystems, board-level modules, software and chip-level products. Embedded Computer Market Embedded computers are a key segment of the broad electronics market and form the backbone and control system for many types of today's electronics systems requiring advanced capabilities for human interface, data analysis and system communications and control. Embedded computers differ from general purpose computers, such as PCs, in several key respects. First, embedded computers are closely integrated into larger systems, perform a single or limited number of complex applications and adhere to specific requirements regarding size, reliability and ability to withstand the demands of extreme environmental conditions. Additionally, embedded computers are design-intensive solutions that require substantial engineering know-how and a comprehensive understanding of the specific end product into which they are to be incorporated. Embedded computer solutions are incorporated into a broad range of products, including blood analyzers, patient monitors, ultrasound machines, voice message systems, local area network routers, cellular base stations, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, electronics assembly equipment, metal grinding equipment, anticollision systems, intelligent highway systems, locomotive motor control devices, bar code scanners, point of sale terminals and automated teller machines. Unlike PC products, which have experienced and will likely continue to experience short product cycles, a typical embedded computer solution has a relatively long product life, with most designs lasting through the life cycles of the products into which they are integrated, often three to seven or more years. The embedded computer market can be segmented by annual unit volume. At unit volumes of above about 50,000 units per year, OEMs generally decide to produce their own solutions. At low unit volumes of less than 500 units per year, where customized requirements such as space, cost, functionality and power usually cannot be met efficiently by OEMs, such OEMs typically use off-the-shelf catalog bus/board products. In the intermediate segment (between 500 and 50,000 units per year), unit volumes are sufficient to support a significant design effort but are not large enough to take advantage of very high volume manufacturing channels or to support custom semiconductor designs. Industry applications contained within this intermediate segment of the market include manufacturing automation equipment, telecommunications equipment, medical devices, transportation systems, retail automation equipment and test and measurement equipment. Based on industry sources, the Company believes sales of embedded computer solutions into the intermediate segment of the embedded computer market represented over two-thirds of dollar sales in the total embedded computer market in 1997. In recent years, the increasing complexity of electronics subsystems and components, together with a widespread trend in many industries to rationalize internal manufacturing resources, has led to a significant growth in the outsourcing of the design and manufacture of electronics subsystems and components by major OEMs. As a result, the Company believes there is a significant opportunity for independent manufacturers to provide OEMs with cost-effective, reliable and high value-added embedded computer solutions. 3 Strategy The Company's objective is to be the leading supplier of embedded computer solutions to major OEMs in the manufacturing automation, telecommunications, medical devices, transportation systems, test and measurement, and retail/office automation industries. The key elements of the Company's strategy to achieve this objective are: Leverage Intel x86 Expertise in Embedded Computer Market. RadiSys combines the technical expertise of hundreds of man-years of Intel x86 architecture experience with a close working relationship with Intel to design and manufacture innovative Intel-based solutions for its OEM customers. The Company intends to capitalize on the widespread acceptance of the Intel x86 architecture, the availability of powerful yet inexpensive software, and the development of flexible I/O and peripheral devices to increase adoption of Intel x86 architecture as the preferred solution of OEMs. Additionally, the Company and Intel's Computer Enhancement Group are working together to develop and market chip-level and board-level products for the embedded computer market in order to facilitate the implementation of x86 designs into a broadening array of new OEM end products. Focus on the High Volume OEM Market. The Company is targeting the segment of the embedded computer market where product volumes typically range from 1,000 to 50,000 units annually. The Company believes this segment includes the largest number of OEM products requiring embedded computer solutions, and that sales of embedded computer solutions into this market segment represent over two-thirds of the aggregate dollar volume of annual embedded computer product sales. The Company also believes that the need for complex, customer-specific embedded computers within this segment typically requires considerable design and manufacturing expertise, which are the Company's core strengths and the combination of which are frequently unavailable from traditional design and manufacturing sources. Expand Long-Term OEM Sales Opportunities. The Company seeks to develop and expand long-term relationships with OEMs where it acts as a "virtual division" by developing a close working relationship in which the OEM views RadiSys as playing an integral role in its product development processes. This approach allows the OEM to outsource the design and manufacture of its embedded computer solutions while continuing to control and coordinate this process. At the same time, this approach provides RadiSys with the opportunity to achieve attractive unit sales volumes for products with relatively long life cycles and also provides RadiSys with access to new product opportunities. Provide Broad Set of Technical Solutions to Meet Customer-Specific Needs. The Company provides a high degree of design, product, and manufacturing flexibility to address the needs of its customers for customized solutions in a wide range of applications. The Company provides products with a variety of physical form factors and levels of integration, from application-specific embedded computer subsystems to board-level modules to chip-level products. The Company also offers a broad range of custom solutions and maintains a large and expanding library of designs, containing specifications, logic designs, firmware, device driver software, real time extension software, test specifications, DSP algorithms and manufacturing rules. The Company believes that its broad range of solutions is critical to its ability to find the solution that best fits its customers' technical and business needs. Capitalize on Manufacturing Expertise. The Company is ISO9001 certified and its high quality manufacturing facility, its sophisticated control systems, and its advanced test processes enable it to meet its customers' demands for highly reliable and rugged products. By both designing and manufacturing embedded computer solutions, the Company offers its customers a stable, long-term source of supply, a single point of accountability, design expertise, and reduced time-to-market. Products RadiSys designs and manufactures embedded computer solutions based on the Intel x86 architecture to address the specific requirements of its OEM customers. A typical solution combines the level of integration, degree of customization and specified form factors and standards required to meet the customer's needs. Integration. The level of integration of the Company's products ranges from complete solutions in the form of application-specific embedded computer subsystems to board-level modules to chip-level products to software. The 4 Company provides its customers with alternative solutions at each of these three levels based on the customers' needs, and uses products developed at lower levels of integration as components of more highly integrated designs. Application-specific embedded computers are subsystems designed to function without additional configuration by the OEM. These subsystems can be specific integrated configurations of standard products, semi-custom products, or highly integrated single-board-solutions. Application-specific embedded computers generally range in price from $500 to $4,000. The Company has over 100 application-specific embedded computers in production. Board-level modules are usually designed to be components of larger systems employing standard modular bus structures. These modules consist of printed circuit boards such as processor boards and I/O interfaces, backplanes (interconnect boards), power supplies and mechanical packaging. Modules are typically sold to OEM customers who have designed a complete system comprising boards purchased from the Company along with other boards purchased from other suppliers and still others designed in-house. Board-level products typically range in price from about $300 to over $3,000. The Company has over 150 module products in production supporting the Multibus I, Multibus II, VME architectures as well as Baby AT and ATX form factor baseboards. Chip-level products, like modules, are used as components for higher levels of integration and as products for direct sale to customers who build their own board-level solutions. RadiSys has introduced three companion chips, supporting Intel's family of long-lived embedded processors. The RadiSys R300EX and R380EX embedded system controllers support the Intel386 EX(TM) embedded processor, which is a highly integrated version of the standard Intel386 developed specifically for embedded design. The RadiSys R400EX supports the Intel486(TM) family of embedded processors, including SX, DX2, and DX4 versions as well as Intel's ultra-low power 486. Intel continues to make specific versions of the Intel 486 available to the embedded market because of its wide acceptance in embedded designs. The Company's companion chips make product designs with the Intel386 EX and the family of Intel 486 processors easier, smaller, and less expensive by integrating design features essential to embedded designers such as integrated real time clock, watch-dog-timer, IDE disk controllers, serial ports, and chip selects, in addition to traditional companion chip features such as memory control, I/O chip interfacing, and timing control, all in a single integrated device. Customization. The degree of customization of the Company's products ranges from modifications of standard products, to custom solutions comprised solely of newly developed modules. The Company uses its extensive design experience and large design library to create products with varying degrees of customization. The Company believes that the degree of customization will tend to increase in the future. Form Factors and Standards. The form factors and standards of the Company's products represent a large set of product parameters that characterize specific product and customer needs. The Company has expertise across a broad range of form factors, microprocessors, software environments and communication standards including, but not limited to, cPCI, EMC, PC/104, ISA bus, PCI bus, PCMCIA, SBC, VME bus, VXI bus and Multibus. Software. In June 1997 the Company introduced INtime which extends Microsoft Windows NT with real-time capabilities for use by OEMs in the embedded market. "Real-time" is the term typically used to describe those applications on the upper end of embedded applications that require system response times in the sub-millisecond range. Sales and Marketing The Company typically experiences long life cycles for products designed for its OEM customers. RadiSys views the design process as an opportunity to build long-term OEM customer relationships. In the initial phases of the relationship, considerable attention is given to the establishment of communications links, such as electronic mail, to enable the customer's and the Company's sales and engineering staffs to interact on a real-time or rapid response basis. The Company believes that close and frequent communication during the design process allows RadiSys to operate as a "virtual division" within the customer's internal organization. RadiSys' in-depth understanding of embedded computer technology and applications assists the customer in resolving its overall product design issues while regular customer feedback enables RadiSys to increase and continually refresh its understanding of its customer's specific design requirements. 5 The Company markets its products primarily in North America, Western Europe and Japan. In 1997, the Company had no customer whose sales exceeded 10% of total revenues; the top 25 customers accounted for approximately 65% of 1997 sales. In North America, products are sold principally by a direct sales force. The Company has U.S. regional offices in Philadelphia and San Jose. Each region has a regional sales manager, and four to six sales and applications engineers. The field sales force is supported by approximately 24 factory-based applications engineers, product marketing personnel and sales support personnel. In addition, the Company's management plays a key role in the Company's marketing and selling efforts. In Japan, the Company sells its products through a wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, RadiSys K.K., that markets the Company's products directly and through several distributors in Japan. In Europe, the Company sells its products through wholly owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, RadiSys UK Ltd., and RadiSys International, and through approximately 23 distributors throughout Europe. RadiSys has regional sales offices in Swindon, United Kingdom; Munich, Germany; Paris, France and Eindhoven, Netherlands. In 1995, 1996 and 1997, international sales represented approximately 17%, 27% and 30%, respectively, of revenues. Substantially all of the Company's international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has established distributor relationships with Anthem, Arrow/Schweber Electronics, Pioneer-Standard Electronics, Inc., and Wyle Electronics in North America and approximately 26 distributors in Europe to market the Company's chip-level and Multibus products. Research, Development and Engineering The Company believes its research, development and engineering expertise represents an important competitive advantage. The Company's research, development and engineering staff at December 31, 1997 consisted of 112 engineers and technicians. Most of the Company's research, development and engineering efforts are focused on joint projects with its OEM customers resulting in the development of custom products. For these projects, the Company's engineering staff works closely with the customer and the customers generally pay the Company non-recurring engineering fees as certain milestones are attained. From time to time, the Company also engages in joint research and development of other products with certain of its customers and other parties. The Company is engaged in research and development of additional chip-level products designed to give the Company's board-level products additional competitive advantages in terms of functionality, cost, reliability, reduced time-to-market and increased product life longevity and to capitalize on the Company's expertise in embedded computer system design by providing innovative chips to meet the requirements of OEM customers. The Company typically retains the rights to any technology developed as a part of the design process. In some cases, the Company agrees to share technology rights, including manufacturing rights, with the customer, but generally retains nonexclusive rights to use the technology. The embedded computer market is subject to rapid technological development, product innovation and competitive pressures. Consequently, the Company has invested and will continue to invest resources in the research and development of (i) building blocks such as embedded modules, platforms, chips and low-level firmware, (ii) application-specific embedded computers for specific customers and (iii) design processes and tools. In 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company invested $3.3 million, $8.2 million and $11.7 million, respectively, on research and development. Manufacturing The Company currently manufactures most of the board-level and system-level products it sells. The Company builds its products in a highly automated ISO9001 certified manufacturing plant at its headquarters in Hillsboro, Oregon. This plant 6 encompasses surface-mount technology ("SMT") board assembly, test, mechanical assembly and system assembly and test. ISO9001 certification is the international designation, developed by the International Organization of Standardization, a pan-governmental agency, for demonstrating that the Company's systems support the design and production of products of consistently high quality. The Company has four automated lines for SMT board assembly, which are based on equipment purchased primarily from Universal Instruments. Aggregate production capacity exceeds 18,000 ultra-fine-pitch SMT boards per month. The Company estimates that, as currently configured, the four lines have sufficient capacity on multiple-shift operation to handle planned demand well into 1998. Each of the lines is modular and thus readily expandable by adding additional inline equipment. Because the products into which embedded computers are integrated typically have long life cycles, dynamic stress testing of embedded computer products must be particularly exacting to ensure the reliability of such products. The Company believes its test processes represent a significant competitive advantage in this area. The Company uses a variety of commercial and proprietary test processes including highly accelerated life testing, highly accelerated stress screening, bed-of-nails, in-circuit and functional test equipment. The highly accelerated stress screening process detects early lifetime failures by subjecting products to a series of cycles of rapid temperature change, and random mechanical vibration while the products are running a self-test program and are being monitored. The Company has equipment to perform temperature, humidity, and vibration analysis of products. The Company relies on external suppliers for bare printed-circuit board fabrication, machine-inserted throughole circuit boards, semiconductor components, mechanical assemblies, and semiconductor foundry services. Although many of the raw materials and much of the equipment used in the Company's manufacturing operation are available from a number of alternate sources, certain of these components are obtained from a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers. The Company is dependent on third parties for a continuing supply of the components it uses in the manufacture of its products. For example, the Company is dependent solely on Intel for the supply of microprocessors and other components and depends on Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and Cirrus Logic, Inc. as sole source suppliers for other components, for some of which the Company would encounter difficulty in locating alternative sources of supply. The Company relies on a third party foundry to produce its core logic chip product offerings. There is no assurance that the third party will be willing or able to supply the Company with sufficient core logic chips to meet its needs in the future or, if the party were not to meet the Company's needs, that the Company could obtain satisfactory core logic chips from alternative sources in sufficient quantities and at acceptable prices. Competition The embedded computer industry is highly competitive and fragmented, and the Company's competitors differ depending on product type, geographic market and application type. The Company believes that, from a customer's perspective, the main competitive factors in the embedded computer industry are product cost, product quality, design effectiveness, time-to-market, and long-term stability of both the product and the supplier. Because many OEM customers view their embedded computer requirements from a make versus buy perspective, the Company often competes against its OEM customers' ability to design and manufacture satisfactory embedded computer products in-house. A customer may be capable of manufacturing an embedded computer product at lower cost and with better quality control than the Company can, and may wish to use underutilized internal design and manufacturing resources. On the other hand, if the OEM customer wishes to rely on outside expertise, desires quicker time-to-market, is lacking internal design and/or manufacturing resources, and wishes to avoid certain issues of product stability, new technologies, and redesign due to end-of-life components, the customer may opt to purchase the Company's embedded computer solution. Off-the-shelf product manufacturers comprise a second set of competitors, although this product segment is highly fragmented by physical and electrical form factor. Electronics contract manufacturers form a third set of potential 7 competitors, although most have no specific product or application design expertise and simply manufacture to a third party's design. Finally, the Company competes against embedded computer systems that rely on non-Intel-based architectures, including the Power PC architecture manufactured by IBM and Motorola. Motorola's 68000 family of microprocessors has achieved relative dominance of the embedded computer market for applications requiring a VME bus form factor. Backlog As of December 31, 1997, the Company's backlog was approximately $38.7 million, as compared to $33.6 million as of December 31, 1996. The Company includes in its backlog all purchase orders scheduled for delivery within twelve months, although a majority of the backlog is typically scheduled for delivery within 90 days. Intellectual Property The Company has two Multibus patents, but relies principally on trade secrets for protection of its intellectual property. The Company believes, however, that its financial performance will depend much more on the pace of its product development and its relationships with its customers than upon such protection. The Company has no pending claims against it alleging any possible infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights of others. Employees As of December 31, 1997, the Company had 511 employees, of which 413 were regular employees and 98 were agency temporary employees or contractors. The Company is not subject to any collective bargaining agreement, has never been subject to a work stoppage, and believes that its relations with employees are good.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Total revenue was $125.4 million for 1997, compared to $81.0 million for 1996. Net income was $15.4 million for 1997, an increase of 62% from $9.5 million for 1996. Revenues and net income increased primarily due to higher revenues from design wins ramping into production during 1997 and the effect of acquisitions. On April 29, 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Intel Corporation ("Intel") that were dedicated to the design, manufacture and sale of all standard and custom Multibus I and Multibus II products ("Multibus"). On February 18, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all the assets of Sonitech International, Inc., a provider of digital signal processing hardware and software solutions for embedded applications. Both acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method. The results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in the financial statements since the dates of acquisition. Except for the historical statements and information, this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements: business conditions and growth in the electronics industry and general economies, both domestic and international; uncertainty of market development; dependence on a limited number of OEM customers; dependence on limited or sole source suppliers; dependence on the relationship with Intel; dependence on Intel's support of the embedded computer market; lower than expected customer orders; competitive factors, including increased competition, new product offerings by competitors and price pressures; the availability of parts and components at reasonable prices; changes in product mix; dependence on proprietary technology; technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products; and product shipment interruptions due to manufacturing difficulties. The 11 forward looking statements contained in this MD&A regarding industry trends, product development and introductions, and liquidity and future business activities should be considered in light of these factors. Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain operating data as a percentage of revenues for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997. Year Ended December 31, 1995 1996 1997 ---- ---- ---- Revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 65.6 58.5 60.0 ------ ------ ------ Gross margin 34.4 41.5 40.0 Research and development 9.4 10.1 9.3 Selling, general and administrative 19.2 14.6 12.7 ------ ------ ------ Income from operations 5.8 16.8 18.0 Interest income, net 0.5 1.3 0.9 ------ ------ ------ Income before income tax provision 6.3 18.1 18.9 Income tax provision 2.0 6.3 6.6 ------ ------ ------ Net income 4.3% 11.8% 12.3% ====== ====== ====== Years Ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997 Revenues. Revenues increased 55% to $125.4 million for 1997 from $81.0 million for 1996. The increase in revenues in 1997 resulted primarily from design wins ramping into production during 1997 and reporting a full year of revenues in 1997 from the acquisition of Multibus on April 29, 1996. For 1997, sales to the Company's 25 largest customers constituted 65% of revenues, as compared to 73% and 80% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Revenues increased 131% to $81.0 million for 1996 from $35.0 million for 1995. The increase in revenues in 1996 resulted primarily from the acquisition of Multibus from Intel on April 29, 1996 and from volume increases in OEM sales. Additionally, included within revenues for 1996 is $1.4 million of royalty payments from Intel in connection with backlog retained by Intel pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition. Gross Margin. Gross margin for 1997 decreased to 40.0% from 41.5% for 1996 because of lower margin design wins ramping into production. The Company's general business model is to price its products for new design wins at roughly 30-35% gross margins, because the Company believes this gross margin represents the best elasticity point to maximize design wins and long term growth. As such, the Company expects gross margins to decline gradually over time as new design wins ramp into production. Typically, products ramp into production 12 to 24 months after the design is won. Gross margin for 1996 increased to 41.5% from 34.4% for 1995 primarily as a result of royalties received from Intel for backlog retained in connection with the Multibus acquisition, component price decreasing faster than price changes to the Company's customers, the mix of product sold through distributors versus direct sales, and product mix for 1996 consisting of a larger portion of higher margin products shipped relative to lower margin products shipped. Additionally, included within cost of goods sold for 1996 is $1.3 million of inventory valuation adjustments that resulted from purchase accounting in connection with the Multibus acquisition. OEM sales are characterized by longer product life cycles and generally lower gross margins that can vary throughout the product life cycle. Gross margins are typically lower in the early stages of production for OEM sales and have the potential to improve over time. The Company establishes gross margin targets based on the nature of the sales it is pursuing and the desire to establish new OEM relationships by pricing aggressively to achieve key sales. However, many of the factors affecting gross margins, such as variances in unit volumes and timing of orders and component cost, are difficult or 12 impossible to predict and can cause the Company to be subject to unplanned margin variances. Gross margins on OEM sales are also particularly sensitive to changes in customer mix because of both margin variances among individual products and the relative importance of a single large sale on overall operating results. To mitigate the effect of short-term margin variances, the Company may employ "step pricing" techniques in which unit prices decline over the life of the product to reflect anticipated production efficiencies and/or component cost reductions, or various "cost sharing" or "cost plus" pricing techniques that serve to reduce the margin risk to the Company. Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 42% to $11.7 million for 1997 from $8.2 million for 1996, primarily as a result of increased investment in new product development. The Company continues to invest in new design wins for OEM customers and the dollar increases reflect steady increases in the number of employees working in research and development. Research and development expenses increased 149% to $8.2 million for 1996 from $3.3 million for 1995, primarily as the result of increased investment in new product development and costs of enhancements to existing products. Also included within research and development for 1996 is $225,000 to expense in-process research and development acquired in connection with the Multibus acquisition. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 33.5% to $15.8 million for 1997 from $11.8 million for 1996, and 76% to $11.8 million for 1996 from $6.7 million for 1995. Selling, general and administrative expense have increased primarily as a result of increased personnel, facilities, and travel, to support higher levels of sales since 1995 and to support the acquired Multibus operations in 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses have steadily declined as a percentage of revenues to 12.7% for 1997, from 14.6% and 19.2% for 1996 and 1995, respectively, primarily as a result of operating efficiencies achieved by spreading fixed costs over a larger revenue base, offset partially by increases in costs required to expand international operations. Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net remained stable at $1.1 million for 1997 and 1996, and increased 537% for 1996 from $0.2 for 1995. The increases for 1996 were primarily the result of interest income earned from the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering in October 1995. Income Tax Provision. The income tax provisions for 1995, 1996 and 1997 reflect effective income tax rates of 30.7%, 35% and 35%, respectively. The increases in the provision for income tax are primarily attributable to the exhaustion of the majority of the Company's tax loss carryforwards in 1994 and the depletion of tax credits in 1995. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 1997, the Company had $24.0 million in cash and equivalents, which represents the Company's principal source of liquidity. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately $58.8 million. The working capital balance increased primarily due to cash generated from operations and the increase in accounts receivable and inventories as a result of increased sales of the Company. Net cash provided by or (used for) operating activities was $(3.0), $10.6, and $7.2 million for 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 1997 was largely attributable to increases in accounts receivable of $7.2 million and in inventories of $4.4 million in connection with the expansion of the Company's operations. In October 1997, the Company renewed its $10.0 million line of credit with a bank. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the lender's prime rate. The Company has not drawn any funds under this line of credit. Capital expenditures were $1.7, $7.2, and $3.7 million in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. These capital expenditures were primarily for the purchase of leasehold improvements, manufacturing equipment, and plant modernization. The Company moved to a new headquarters and manufacturing facility in October 1996, and took possession of a new engineering design facility in December 1997. In addition the Company purchased in early 1996 two adjacent parcels of 13 land and in early 1997 one adjacent parcel of land for future expansion. Capital expenditures for the next 12 months, including expenditures related to the new engineering design center, are expected to range from $4.0 million to $7.0 million. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. Because the Company's capital requirements cannot be predicted with certainty, there is no assurance that the Company will not require additional financing prior to the expiration of 12 months. Year 2000 Issues The Company recognizes the need to ensure that its operations will not be adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. The Company is addressing this issue to ensure the availability and integrity of its financial systems and the reliability of its operational systems. The Company has and will continue to make certain investments in its software systems and applications to ensure the Company is Year 2000 compliant. The financial impact on the Company has not been and is not anticipated to be material. ITEM 8.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except share amounts) 1. Significant Accounting Policies Organization of the Company RadiSys Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in March 1987 under the laws of the State of Oregon for the purpose of developing, producing and marketing computer system (hardware and software) products for embedded computer applications in manufacturing automation, medical, transportation, telecommunications and test equipment marketplaces. Principles of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with an original maturity of less than three months. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from non-distributor product sales upon shipment. For sales through distributors, the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of the Company's product from the distributor. The Company may grant certain sales discounts to distributors. Such sales discounts are accrued at the time revenues are recorded for distributor sales. Accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $706 and $663 at December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company's customers are concentrated in the technology industry. Therefore, the Company's operations and collection of its accounts receivable are directly associated with the results of the technology industry. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method to determine cost. Inventories consist of: December 31, ------------------------- 1996 1997 ---------- ---------- Raw materials $ 12,555 $ 15,388 Work in process 3,538 1,844 Finished goods 1,741 5,598 ---------- ---------- $ 17,834 $ 22,830 ========== ========== The Company periodically evaluates its inventory in terms of obsolete or slow-moving items. Inventories are net of a reserve for obsolete and slow-moving items of $529 and $847 at December 31, 1996, and 1997, respectively. 21 Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated for financial reporting purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to five years. Equipment under capital leases is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the economic life of the underlying asset. Ordinary maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. Equipment recorded under capital leases at December 31, 1997 totaled $1,268 with accumulated amortization of $655. Research and development Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. Computer software production costs Software production costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility, but before release to customers, are capitalized. Upon general release of the product, cost capitalization is terminated and the accumulated costs are amortized based on the greater of the proportion of current revenues to total revenue estimates for the related product, or straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product not to exceed two years. Unamortized software production costs of $338 and $1,943 are included in other assets at December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Amortization of software production costs in 1995, 1996 and 1997 aggregated $378, $452 and $722, respectively. Cash flows The Company made cash payments for income taxes of $547, $3,205 and $7,756 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The Company estimates the fair value of its monetary assets and liabilities based upon comparative current market values of instruments of a similar nature and degree of risk. The Company estimates that the carrying amount of all of its monetary assets and liabilities approximate fair value as of December 31, 1996 and 1997. Foreign currency translation Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in income. Certain risks and uncertainties The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. New Standards In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". These statements require entities to report changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with shareholders, 22 and to provide information about the different types of business activities in which an enterprise engages and the different economic environments in which it operates, respectively. These will be adopted by the Company in 1998, as required by the statements. Management expects that the adoption of these pronouncements will have no effect on reported earnings. The Company's comprehensive income component will consist only of the SFAS 52 cumulative translation adjustment, already included in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity. 2. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, 1995 1996 1997 --------- --------- --------- Currently payable: Federal $ 532 $ 5,417 $ 5,834 State 182 1,220 927 --------- --------- --------- 714 6,637 6,761 --------- --------- --------- Deferred: Federal 201 (1,180) 1,351 State (14) (198) 192 --------- --------- --------- 187 (1,378) 1,543 --------- --------- --------- Decrease in valuation allowance (229) (119) - --------- --------- --------- Total provision $ 672 $ 5,140 $ 8,304 ========= ========= ========= The provision for income tax differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to pretax income as a result of the following differences: Year Ended December 31, 1995 1996 1997 --------- --------- --------- Statutory federal tax rate 34.0% 35.0% 35.0% Increase (decrease) in rates resulting from: State taxes 5.0 4.5 3.3 Goodwill benefit from acquisition (2.1) (2.2) Deferred tax asset valuation allowance (10.3) (.8) Other 2.0 (1.6) (1.1) --------- --------- --------- Effective tax rate 30.7% 35.0% 35.0% ========= ========= ========= Deferred tax assets/(liabilities) are comprised of the following components: December 31, 1996 1997 --------- --------- Warranty reserve $ 491 $ 68 Accrued expenses 810 781 Other 493 (598) --------- --------- Net deferred tax asset $ 1,794 $ 251 23 3.

Commitments and Contingencies Line of Credit In October 1997, the Company renewed its $10.0 million unsecured line of credit, with an interest rate based upon the lower of the IBOR plus 1.25 to 2.0% or the bank's prime rate. The line of credit expires in October 1998. The Company has not drawn any funds under this line of credit. Operating leases The Company leases its facilities and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases which require minimum lease payments as follows at December 31, 1997: Year Ending Operating December 31, leases ----------- --------- 1998 $ 1,945 1999 1,960 2000 1,963 2001 1,860 2002 1,860 Thereafter 17,504 --------- $ 27,092 ========= Rent expense related to these operating leases aggregated $352, $330 and $1,288 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 24 During 1995, the Company entered into capital leases for certain manufacturing equipment. The minimum payments under these leases are as follows: Year Ending Operating December 31, leases ----------- --------- 1998 289 1999 289 2000 75 --------- 653 Less: amount representing interest (40) --------- Present value of lease payments 613 Less: portion due in the next year (214) --------- Long-term portion of capital lease obligation $ 399 ========= 5. Export Sales and Major Customers Export sales were $6,061, $22,072 and $37,011 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Such export sales were made to customers in the following countries: Country Year Ended December 31, ------- 1995 1996 1997 --------- --------- --------- Japan $ 678 $ 2,542 $ 4,000 The Netherlands 1,912 4,865 9,393 Sweden 395 3,600 2,518 Switzerland 2,534 3,678 2,274 Other 542 7,387 18,826 --------- --------- --------- Total $ 6,061 $ 22,072 $ 37,011 ========= ========= ========= One customer accounted for 10.4% and 10.1% of 1995 and 1996 sales. No customer accounted for more than 10% of sales in 1997. 6. Shareholders' Equity EPS Reconciliation Year Ended December 31, 1995 1996 1997 --------- --------- --------- Weighted Average Shares (basic) 4,242,000 6,924,000 7,679,000 Effect of Dilutive Stock Options 113,000 438,000 324,000 --------- --------- --------- Weighted Average Shares (diluted) 4,355,000 7,362,000 8,003,000 ========= ========= ========= Options to purchase 139,128 shares of common stock were outstanding in 1997 but were excluded in the computation of diluted EPS as the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares. 25 Stock option plan During 1988 and 1995, the shareholders approved stock option plans. First time options granted to new employees become exercisable one-third annually, with no options exercisable in the first year following the grant date. Options granted to existing employees are not exercisable until between the second and fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The difference between the fair market value of the Company's common stock and the option exercise price at the date of grant, if material, is recorded as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the related options. Compensation expense related to the stock option plan for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was immaterial. The table below summarizes the Company's stock option activity: 1995 1996 1997 ------------------------ ------------------------- ------------------------ Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ---------- ------------ Beginning balance 177,796 $2.45 359,321 $7.71 777,641 $26.08 Granted 247,307 $9.98 515,052 $34.00 656,402 $45.07 Canceled (7,258) $2.80 (51,308) $12.30 (376,699) $51.00 Exercised (58,524) $1.81 (45,424) $3.91 (71,535) $6.76 =========== ============ ============ ============ ========== ============ Ending Balance 359,321 $7.71 777,641 26.08 985,809 $27.99 =========== ============ ============ ============ ========== ============ The following table sets forth the exercise price range, number of shares, weighted average exercise price, and remaining contractual lives by groups of similar price and grant date: Weighted Number of Weighted Remaining Average Exercise Price Range Shares Average Price Contractual Life ------------------------------- ------------- -------------- ------------------ $0 - $11.00 282,818 $ 9.02 3.23 $11.25 - $36.00 208,707 $ 27.61 5.60 $36.25 - $38.75 314,000 $ 37.96 5.16 $38.88 - $58.00 180,284 $ 40.82 5.36 ============= ============== ================== 985,809 $ 27.99 4.74 ============= ============== ================== Options exercisable at December 31, 1997 totaled 196,905 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $15.85. Options available for grant at December 31, 1997 totaled 661,329 shares. Employee stock purchase plan In December 1995, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Under the plan, the Company is authorized to sell up to 250,000 shares of common stock in a series of eighteen month offerings. Substantially all employees are eligible to receive rights under the plan. The purchase price is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on date of grant or on the purchase date. During 1996 and 1997, the Company issued 28,277 and 93,483 shares under the plan, respectively. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123") The Company has elected to account for its stock based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25; however, as required by SFAS 123 the Company has computed for pro forma disclosure purposes the value of options granted during 1995, 1996 and 1997 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used for stock option grants for 1995, 1996 and 1997 were a risk free interest rate of 5.5%, 6% and 5.4%, respectively, an 26 expected dividend yield of 0%, 0% and 0%, respectively, an expected life of 5, 4 and 4 years, respectively, and an expected volatility of 0%, 50% and 50%, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used for ESPP rights for 1996 and 1997 were a risk free interest rate of 5.7%, and 5.3%, respectively, an expected dividend yield of 0% and 0%, respectively, an expected life of 1.5 years and 1.5 years, respectively, and an expected volatility of 50% and 50%, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of ESPP rights granted in 1996 and 1997 were $242 and $656, respectively. Options were assumed to be exercised upon vesting for purposes of this valuation. Adjustments are made for options forfeited prior to vesting. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the total value of the options granted was computed to be $612, $9,205 and $8,578, respectively, which would be amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the options. If the Company had accounted for these plans in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net income and pro forma net income per share would have been reported as follows: Year Ended December 31, 1995 Year Ended December 31, 1996 Year Ended December 31, 1997 -------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Earnings per Share Earnings per Share Earnings per Share ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Net Income Basic Diluted Net Income Basic Diluted Net Income Basic Diluted ---------- ----- ------- ---------- ----- ------- ---------- ----- ------- As Reported $1,516 $0.36 $0.35 $9,546 $1.38 $1.30 $15,425 $2.01 $1.93 Pro Forma $1,510 $0.36 $0.35 8,533 $1.23 $1.19 $12,904 $1.68 $1.60 The effects of applying SFAS 123 for providing pro forma disclosure for 1996 and 1997 are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income and earnings per share for future years since options vest over several years and additional awards are made each year. 7. Multibus Acquisition On April 29, 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Intel Corporation ("Intel") that were dedicated to the design, manufacture and sale of all standard and custom Multibus I and Multibus II products ("Multibus") (collectively the "Acquisition"). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition, Intel licensed certain Intel software to the Company. The purchase price consisted of 1,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") and warrants to purchase an additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable within 24 months at prices per share ranging from $13.50 to $15.00, plus an aggregate of $1.2 million in cash to be paid in 1997. The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The results of operations for Multibus have been included in the financial statements since the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of $13.2 million (including direct costs of acquisition) was allocated to purchased inventory, equipment and in-process research and development. Included within cost of goods sold for 1996 is $1.3 million of inventory valuation adjustments that resulted from purchase accounting and within research and development for 1996 is $225,000 to expense in-process research and development acquired in connection with the Multibus acquisition. The non cash portions have been excluded from the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the results of operations of the Company as if the Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods, after giving effect to increases in operating, research and development, and general and administrative costs to operate the business, depreciation of acquired fixed assets, and 27 adjustments to reflect the estimated impact on tax expense of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what actual results would have been had the Multibus acquisition occurred at the beginning of the respective periods.
