(1) Based on shares outstanding as of August 31, 1996. Excludes (i) 1,258,689
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding
under the Company's Stock Option Plans at a weighted average exercise price
of $4.34 per share, (ii) 1,924,686 shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Company's Stock Option Plans and Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, and (iii) approximately 4,706,668 shares to be reserved for issuance
under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan") which the
Company intends to adopt in the near future (until conversion of the Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock, 2,865,658 shares will be
reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1996 Plan). Assumes that (i) all
dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be paid in
shares of Common Stock based upon a per share price of $1-11/32, the last
reported sales price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market on September 16, 1996 and (ii) 6,075,333 shares of Common Stock, the
maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A

issuable in the event that the trading price of the Common Stock exceeds
certain levels and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not
otherwise redeemed. Otherwise the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible
into an aggregate of 5,523,030 shares of Common Stock). See "Description
of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock -- Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock."
(2) The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and
includes 53 weeks in fiscal 1993 and 52 weeks in all other fiscal years
presented. During fiscal 1995, the Company changed its fiscal year end
from the Sunday closest to September 30 to the Saturday closest to
September 30 for operational efficiency purposes. For clarity of
presentation, all fiscal periods are reported as ending on a calendar month
end.
(3) These periods have been restated to reflect the Merger of Radius and
SuperMac Technology, Inc. ("SuperMac") in fiscal 1994 which has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests. See Note 10 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements
for all periods prior to fiscal 1994 have not been restated to adjust
SuperMac's fiscal year end to that of Radius. Such periods include Radius'
results of operations and balance sheet data on a September 30 fiscal year
basis and SuperMac's on a December 31 calendar year basis.

THE COMPANY
Radius Inc. (the "Company" or "Radius") designs, develops, markets and
supports color publishing and digital video computer products for leading edge
computer users in the publishing, video and education markets. The Company's
current product line includes: accelerated color graphics products that
facilitate the creation and manipulation of graphical images; video systems and
software that can acquire and manipulate video and audio information; and high
resolution color reference displays that allow users to view text, graphics,
images and video.
The primary target markets for the Company's products are color publishing
and multimedia. These markets encompass creative professionals involved in such
areas as color prepress, graphic arts, video editing, video and multimedia
production and playback, and corporate training.
To date substantially all of the Company's products have been designed for
and sold to users of Macintosh computer products (the "Macintosh") manufactured
by Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") as Apple products have been the preferred
platform in the Company's target markets.
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company
has incurred substantial operating losses and until recently, had a deficiency
in assets and working capital. Management has implemented a number of actions
to address this situation including: refocusing its efforts on providing
solutions for high end digital video and graphics customers; discontinuing sales
of mass market and other low value added products; divesting its color server
and monochrome display businesses and its MacOS compatible systems product line;
significantly reducing expenses and headcount; subleasing all or a portion of
its current facility given its reduced occupancy requirements; and investigating
various strategic partnering opportunities. See "Risk Factors -- Continuing
Operating Losses, Going Concern Considerations."
Immediately prior to the consummation of the debt for equity exchange
described under "Recent Developments--Debt for Equity Exchange," the Company had
approximately 18,147,099 shares of Common Stock outstanding. As a result of the
consummation of the Plan described below, an additional 36,294,198 shares of
Common Stock were issued to creditors of the Company, as well as Warrants to
purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock and 750,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into up to an aggregate of 6,075,333
shares of Common Stock. In the event that the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock is converted into Common Stock, up to an additional 11,046,060 shares of
Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Rights and an additional 1,841,010
shares of Common Stock will be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's
Stock Option Plans. Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part, such shares of Common Stock will generally
be freely tradable. Such issuances and tradability of these shares could have a
materially adverse impact on the trading price of the Common Stock. See "Risk
Factors--Volatility for Stock Price" and "--Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
The Company's executive offices are located at 215 Moffett Park Drive,

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
DEBT FOR EQUITY EXCHANGE
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had total assets of approximately $43.9
million and total current liabilities of approximately $91.4 million. The
Company was also delinquent in its accounts payable as payments to certain
vendors were not being made in accordance with vendor terms. As of June 30,
1996, the Company had outstanding accounts payable, short-term borrowings and
current portions of obligations under capital leases of approximately $62.2
million, of which approximately $38.0 million was outstanding under accounts
payable, approximately $22.9 million represented short-term borrowings and
approximately $1.3 million represented current portions of obligations under
capital leases. Several vendors had initiated legal action to collect allegedly
delinquent accounts and at least two vendors had orally threatened the Company
with initiation of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.
As a result, the Company established an unofficial unsecured creditors
committee (the "Unofficial Creditors Committee") consisting of eight of its
larger unsecured creditors (the "Committee Members") in an effort to resolve
the delinquent accounts payable, capital deficiency and creditor litigation
issues outside of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.
5
The Company sought to resolve these claims outside of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings in order to avoid the significant costs and uncertainties that would
arise in such proceedings, including the likely demoralization of employees,
customers and distributors.
The Company, the Unofficial Creditors Committee and the Company's
secured creditor, IBM Credit Corporation ("IBM Credit"), agreed to a plan
(the "Plan") pursuant to which creditors received equity in the Company in
satisfaction of all or a portion of their claims. Pursuant to the Plan, IBM
Credit, the Company's secured creditor, received Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in satisfaction of $3.0 million of the Company's
approximately $26.4 million secured indebtedness to IBM Credit and in
consideration of restructuring its loan with the Company, including extension
by IBM Credit of an additional advance of approximately $470,000 for making
Discount Payments (defined below). The Company's unsecured creditors with
claims of approximately $47.8 million (including a $1.0 million reserve for
unknown or unresolved claims) received either shares of Common Stock or, in
the case of certain creditors most of which had claims of less than $50,000
("Convenience Class Creditors"), a discounted cash payment (approximately
$470,000 in the aggregate) in satisfaction of claims of approximately $1.9
million. The Company also issued Warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of
Common Stock to IBM Credit. While the issuance of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Common Stock and the Warrants did not require the
approval of the Company's shareholders an increase in the authorized number
of shares of Common Stock, however, which was necessary to implement this
Plan, required shareholder approval, which approval was obtained at a special
meeting of shareholders on August 27, 1996.
Pursuant to the Plan, unsecured creditors received 36,294,198 shares of
Common Stock, or 60% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company after
consummation of the Plan (including 791,280 shares issued to the Radius
Creditors Trust for the purpose of satisfying a portion of any unknown or
unresolved claims). The Company's secured creditor, IBM Credit, received
750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 5,523,030
shares of Common Stock of the Company (or 6,075,333 shares in certain
circumstances, see "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock -- Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock"). The unsecured creditors also received
Rights ("Rights") to receive an aggregate of 11,046,060 additional shares of
the Company's Common Stock in the event that the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock so that the number of shares
of Common Stock received by such unsecured creditors continues to represent
60% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. In addition, the Company
intends to adopt a new stock option plan to reserve for issuance thereunder
(together with the Company's other stock option plans) approximately 10% of
the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. Therefore,
shareholders holding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the closing
under the Plan ("Existing Shareholders") represent approximately 30% of
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after the Plan was
consummated. Because the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on
an as-converted basis, Existing Shareholders represent approximately 28% of
the voting power of the Company, assuming all options are exercised. If and
when the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock,
Existing Shareholders will then represent 23% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock assuming no other issuances of the Company's securities and
exercise of all options available for issuance.
Unsecured creditors accepting equity in satisfaction of their claims
generally had claims in excess of $50,000 ("Major Creditors") and represented
accounts payable or other claims in the aggregate of approximately $45.9
million (including a $1.0 million reserve for unknown or unresolved claims),
of which approximately $29.3 million represented claims of the Committee
Members. The Committee Members included SCI Technology, Inc., Mitsubishi
Electronics America Corp., Hamilton Hallmark/Avnet Co., Manufacturers
Services Limited, Avex Electronics, Inc., TechData Corporation, Quantum and
Mitsubishi International Corporation, which were generally the Company's
largest unsecured creditors, with claims of approximately $12.3 million, $5.1
million, $4.0 million, $2.2 million, $2.1 million, $1.6 million, $1.6 million
and $380,000, respectively.
The remaining unpaid indebtedness of approximately $1.9 million owed to
its Convenience Class Creditors was repaid at an average discount of
approximately 75% of the amount of the applicable claim (the amounts paid to
the Convenience Class Creditors are referred to as the "Discount Payment").
The Company repaid these creditors from the proceeds of an additional advance
of approximately $470,000 from IBM Credit which was made for the purpose of
making Discount Payments. The Company was unable to conclude settlements
with 10 unsecured creditors with aggregate claims of approximately $200,000.
The Company has issued 791,280 shares of Common Stock and an additional
240,824 Rights to the Radius Creditors Trust, for the purposes of satisfying
any unknown claims or claims not settled. The Company intends to repay any
additional remaining unsatisfied or unknown claims out of cash generated from
operations, however, there can be no assurance that these creditors will not
seek to enforce their claims or that the Company will have sufficient
available funds to repay such creditors on a timely basis. Approximately 50
persons whom the Company believed to be creditors claimed that no balance was
owed to such creditors. There can be no assurance that such persons will
not, in the future, assert claims against the Company.
6
The Company has no other plans to meet its future working capital needs
other than through cash generated from operations. For the nine months ended
June 30, 1996, the Company had an operating loss of approximately $11.6 million.
If the Company is unable to increase net sales and/or reduce operating expenses,
it may need to divest assets or businesses or seek additional financing to meet
its working capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to divest its assets, on favorable terms, if at all or that such financing
will be available to the Company. See "Risk Factors -- Need for Additional
Financing -- Loan Restrictions."
There can also be no assurance that the Company will maintain or increase
profitability.
NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET DELISTING
Until late June 1996, the Company's Common Stock was listed on the
Nasdaq National Market System (the "Nasdaq National Market"). As a
requirement to the continued listing of the Company's Common Stock on the
Nasdaq National Market, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(the "NASD") required the Company to obtain the approval of the Plan by a
majority of the total votes cast at a shareholders' meeting. The NASD had
required that the Company file preliminary proxy materials with the
Commission with respect to the foregoing by April 10, 1996 and that the Plan
be approved by the Company's shareholders by June 30, 1996 as a condition to
the Company's continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market. Inasmuch as
the Company failed to reach an agreement in principle with IBM Credit and the
Unofficial Creditors Committee until late June 1996, the Company was not able
to meet these conditions. Accordingly, the NASD has delisted the Company's
Common Stock from the Nasdaq National Market for failure to satisfy the
minimum net worth requirement. The Company's Common Stock is now listed on
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (the "Nasdaq SmallCap Market") and the Company
will be required to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. As of September 16, 1996, the closing price of the Common
Stock was $111/32 per share. In the future, any failure of the Company to
maintain a minimum bid price per share of $1.00 for a period of 10
consecutive business days would require it to have $2.0 million in capital
and surplus as well as a market value of its publicly traded securities of
$1.0 million. If the Company does not have a capital and surplus of $2.0
million, it will be required to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per
share. If the Company fails to maintain this minimum bid price as well as a
$2.0 million capital and surplus, it will have 90 days to comply with such
minimum bid requirement. As described under "Risk Factors -- Volatility of
Stock Price," the substantial increase in tradable shares of Common Stock
could materially and adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock
and if the Company has insufficient capital and surplus, the Common Stock
would be subject to delisting. See "Risk Factors -- Possible Delisting of
Common Stock from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market."
RISK FACTORS
INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO
THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, BEFORE PURCHASING THE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY.
CONTINUING OPERATING LOSSES; GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The Company experienced operating losses in each of the fiscal quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, for the nine months ended June 30,
1996 and in each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995.
Furthermore, the Company's independent auditors have included in their report
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995 a statement as to the substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In the
future, the Company's ability to sustain profitable operations will depend upon
a number of factors, including the Company's ability to control costs; the
Company's ability to service its outstanding indebtedness to IBM Credit; the
Company's ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or obtain
additional funds to fund its operating expenses; the Company's ability to
develop innovative and cost-competitive new products and to bring those products
to market in a timely manner; the continued commercial acceptance of Apple
computers and the rate and mix of Apple computers and related products sold;
competitive factors such as new product introductions, product enhancements and
aggressive marketing and pricing practices; general economic conditions; and
other factors. The Company has faced and expects to continue to face increased
competition in graphic cards as a result of Apple's transition of its product
line to the PCI Bus. For these and other reasons, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to maintain or increase profitability in the near
term, if at all.
7
FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS
The Company has experienced substantial fluctuations in operating results.
The Company's customers generally order on an as-needed basis, and the Company
has historically operated with relatively small backlogs. Quarterly sales and
operating results depend heavily on the volume and timing of bookings received
during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. A substantial portion of
the Company's revenues are derived from sales made late in each quarter, which
increases the difficulty in forecasting sales accurately. Since the end of the
Company's 1995 fiscal year, shortages of available cash have restricted the
Company's ability to purchase inventory and have delayed the Company's receipt
of products from suppliers and increased shipping and other costs. Furthermore,
because of its financial condition, the Company believes that many suppliers are
hesitant to continue their relationship with or extend credit terms to the
Company and potential new suppliers are reluctant to provide goods to the
Company. The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of product, and allowances
are recorded for estimated uncollectable amounts, returns, credits and similar
costs, including product warranties and price protection. Due to the inherent
uncertainty of such estimates, there can be no assurance that the Company's
forecasts regarding bookings, collections, rates of return, credits and related
matters will be accurate. A significant portion of the operating expenses of
the Company are relatively fixed in nature, and planned expenditures are based
primarily on sales forecasts which, as indicated above, are uncertain. Any
inability on the part of the Company to adjust spending quickly enough to
compensate for any failure to meet sales forecasts or to receive anticipated
collections, or any unexpected increase in product returns or other costs, could
also have an adverse impact on the Company's operating results. As a strategic
response to a changing competitive environment, the Company has elected, and, in
the future, may elect from time to time, to make certain pricing, service or
marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. As a
result, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of
operations will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as
any indication of future performance. Due to all of the foregoing factors, it
is likely that in some future quarter the Company's operating results will be
below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event,
the price of the Company's Common Stock would be likely to be materially
adversely affected. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING; LOAN RESTRICTIONS
The Company intends to finance its working capital needs through cash
generated by operations and borrowings under a restructured working line of
credit with IBM Credit. Because the Company has experienced operating losses in
each of its prior three fiscal years, the Company must significantly reduce
operating expenses and/or significantly increase net sales in order to finance
its working capital needs with cash generated by operations. Furthermore,
pursuant to the restructured loan with IBM Credit, the Company is required to
deposit its revenues in accounts subject to control by IBM Credit. At any time,
regardless of whether the Company is in default of its obligations to IBM
Credit, IBM Credit is permitted to apply these amounts towards the repayment of
any of the Company's obligations to IBM Credit. This loan is also subject to
mandatory prepayment as follows: (i) upon the disposition of any assets of the
Company outside of the ordinary course of business, all net proceeds to the
Company must be applied towards the Company's obligations under the loan; (ii)
upon the closing of any financing, 10% of the proceeds must be applied towards
the Company's obligations under the loan; (iii) upon the thirtieth day following
the end of each fiscal quarter, an amount of no less than 50% of operating cash
flow for such prior fiscal quarter must be applied towards the Company's
obligations under the loan; and (iv) upon the receipt of any other amounts other
than sales of inventory or used or obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of
business, and not otherwise described in the preceding clause (i) - (iii), all
of such amounts must be applied towards the Company's obligations under the
loan. If the Company's obligations under the term loan, as well as finance
charges and amounts outstanding in excess of the "borrowing base" (described
below) under the working line of credit described below, are repaid, IBM Credit
can require such proceeds to be applied towards a redemption of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. IBM Credit's control over the Company's financial
resources as well as these prepayment provisions will place a further strain on
the ability of the Company to fund its working capital needs internally.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully fund its working capital needs internally.
The restructured loan also provides for a working line of credit of up to
$5.0 million. However, the Company will only be able to borrow amounts up to
the "borrowing base" which is defined as the sum of (i) the lesser of 10% of the
gross value of eligible inventory or $500,000; plus (ii) 80% of the value of
eligible domestic accounts receivable; plus (iii) the lesser of 50% of the gross
value of certain Japanese and European accounts receivable or $500,000. Upon
the closing of the restructured loan, approximately $1.5 million, or an amount
equal to the current borrowing base was deemed to be outstanding under this line
of credit. Therefore, in order to draw on this working line of credit, the
Company will need to increase the
8
amount of the borrowing base by increasing the amount of certain of its accounts
receivable or repay amounts outstanding under this line of credit. Because most
of the Company's cash flow must be applied towards prepayment of the term loan
and, towards the redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, prior
to reducing any amounts outstanding under the working line of credit, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to significantly reduce this
working line of credit. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that this
working line of credit will provide a significant source of working capital.
The Company's ability to sell assets in order to satisfy its working
capital needs will also be restricted by the terms of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and the terms of the restructured loan. The Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of IBM Credit upon
certain dispositions and, as described above, the Company is required to apply
the proceeds of any disposition towards repayment of the term loan component of
the restructured loan.
The restructured loan also imposes certain operating and financial
restrictions on the Company and requires the Company to maintain certain
financial covenants such as minimum cash flow levels, restricts the ability of
the Company to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens, sell
assets or engage in mergers or acquisitions, or make certain capital
expenditures. The failure to comply with these covenants would constitute a
default under the loan, which is secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets. In the event of such a default, IBM Credit could elect to declare all
of the funds borrowed pursuant thereto to be due and payable together with
accrued and unpaid interest, which could result in the Company becoming a debtor
in a bankruptcy proceeding. The loan restrictions could limit the ability of
the Company to effect future financings or otherwise restrict corporate
activities. Even if additional financing could be obtained, there can be no
assurance that it would be on terms that are favorable or acceptable to the
Company.
The restructured loan may also limit the Company's ability to respond to
changing business and economic conditions, insofar as such conditions may affect
the financial condition and financing requirements of the Company. If the
Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the
future, it may be required to refinance all or a portion of its existing
indebtedness to IBM Credit (which indebtedness can be repaid without prepayment
penalties) or to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that
any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be
obtained on terms that are favorable or acceptable to the Company. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Plan, the Company had
outstanding approximately 18,147,099 shares of Common Stock, most of which were
freely tradable. Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part, this number will increase by almost 200% and, upon
the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, up to an additional
17,721,393 shares may be eligible for public resale, an increase of almost 300%
from the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the consummation
of the Plan. Furthermore, none of the creditors who received shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Plan have entered into any agreements restricting their
ability to resell the shares of Common Stock which they received. As a result
of this larger public float, it is likely that a substantial number of
creditors may seek to resell their shares at times when there is an insufficient
demand for shares of Common Stock. In such an event, the trading price of the
Common Stock will be materially and adversely affected.
The price of the Company's Common Stock has fluctuated widely in the past.
Management believes that such fluctuations may have been caused by announcements
of new products, quarterly fluctuations in the results of operations and other
factors, including changes in conditions of the personal computer industry in
general and of Apple Computer in particular, and changes in the Company's
results of operations and financial condition. Stock markets, and stocks of
technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price volatility in
recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices
of securities issued by the Company and other high technology companies, often
for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies.
Due to the factors referred to herein, the dynamic nature of the Company's
industry, general economic conditions and other factors, the Company's future
operating results and stock prices may be subject to significant volatility in
the future.
Such stock price volatility for the Common Stock has in the past provoked
securities litigation, and future volatility could provoke litigation in the
future that could divert substantial management resources and have an adverse
effect on
9
the Company's results of operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --Litigation Settlement."
DEPENDENCE ON AND COMPETITION WITH APPLE
Historically, substantially all of the Company's products have been
designed for and sold to users of Apple personal computers, and it is expected
that sales of products for such computers will continue to represent
substantially all of the sales of the Company for the foreseeable future. The
Company's operating results would be adversely affected if Apple should lose
market share, if Macintosh sales were to decline or if other developments were
to adversely affect Apple's business. Furthermore, any difficulty that may be
experienced by Apple in the development, manufacturing, marketing or sale of its
computers, or other disruptions to, or uncertainty in the market regarding,
Apple's business, resulting from these or other factors could result in reduced
demand for Apple computers, which in turn could materially and adversely affect
sales of the Company's products. Recently, Apple has announced large losses,
management changes, headcount reductions, and other significant events which
have led or could lead to uncertainty in the market regarding Apple's business
and products. In addition, news reports indicating that Apple may be or may
have been the target of merger, acquisition, or takeover negotiations, have led
or could lead to uncertainty in the market regarding Apple's business and
products.
As software applications for the color publishing and multimedia markets
become more available on platforms other than Macintosh, it is likely that these
other platforms will continue to gain acceptance in these markets. For example,
recently introduced versions of the Windows operating environment support high
performance graphics and video applications similar to those offered on the
Macintosh. There is a risk that this trend will reduce the support given to
Macintosh products by third party developers and could substantially reduce
demand for Macintosh products and peripherals over the long term.
A number of the Company's products compete with products marketed by Apple.
As a competitor of the Company, Apple could in the future take steps to hinder
the Company's development of compatible products and slow sales of the Company's
products. The Company's business is based in part on supplying products that
meet the needs of high-end customers that are not fully met by Apple's products.
As Apple improves its products or bundles additional hardware or software into
its computers, it reduces the market for Radius products that provide those
capabilities. For example, the Company believes that the on-board performance
capabilities included in Macintosh Power PC products have reduced and continue
to reduce overall sales for the Company's graphics cards. In the past, the
Company has developed new products as Apple's progress has rendered existing
Company products obsolete. However, in light of the Company's current financial
condition there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to develop
new products on a timely basis or that any such products will be successful. In
order to develop products for the Macintosh on a timely basis, the Company
depends upon access to advance information concerning new Macintosh products. A
decision by Apple to cease sharing advance product information with the Company
would adversely affect the Company's business.
New products anticipated from and introduced by Apple could cause customers
to defer or alter buying decisions due to uncertainty in the marketplace, as
well as presenting additional direct competition for the Company. For example,
the Company believes that Apple's transition during 1994 to Power PC products
caused delays and uncertainties in the marketplace and had the effect of
reducing demand for the Company's products. In addition, sales of the Company's
products have been adversely affected by Apple's revamping of its entire product
line from Nubus-based to PCI Bus-based computers. In the past, transitions in
Apple's products have been accompanied by shortages in those products and in key
components for them, leading to a slowdown in sales of those products and in the
development and sale by the Company of compatible products. In addition, it is
possible that the introduction of new Apple products with improved performance
capabilities may create uncertainties in the market concerning the need for the
performance enhancements provided by the Company's products and could reduce
demand for such products.
COMPETITION
The markets for the Company's products are highly competitive, and the
Company expects competition to intensify. Many of the Company's current and
prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, technical,
manufacturing and marketing resources than the Company. The Company believes
that its ability to compete will depend on a number of factors, including the
amount of financial resources available to the Company, whether the Company can
reach an accommodation with its creditors, success and timing of new product
developments by the Company and its competitors, product performance, price and
quality, breadth of distribution and customer support. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete
10
successfully with respect to these factors. In addition, the introduction of
lower priced competitive products could result in price reductions that would
adversely affect the Company's results of operations. See "Business --
Competition."
DEPENDENCE ON LIMITED NUMBER OF MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS
The Company outsources the manufacturing and assembly of its products to
third party manufacturers. Although the Company uses a number of
manufacturer/assemblers, each of its products is manufactured and assembled by a
single manufacturer. The failure of a manufacturer to ship the quantities of a
product ordered by the Company could cause a material disruption in the
Company's sales of that product. In the past, the Company has at times
experienced substantial delays in its ability to fill customer orders for
displays and other products, due to the inability of certain manufacturers to
meet their volume and schedule requirements and, more recently, due to the
Company's shortages in available cash. Such shortages have caused some
manufacturers to put the Company on a cash or prepay basis and/or to require the
Company to provide security for their risk in procuring components or reserving
manufacturing time, and there is a risk that manufacturers will discontinue
their relationship with the Company. In the past, the Company has been
vulnerable to delays in shipments from manufacturers because the Company has
sought to manage its use of working capital by, among other things, limiting the
backlog of inventory it purchases. More recently, this vulnerability has been
exacerbated by the Company's shortages in cash reserves. Delays in shipments
from manufacturers can cause fluctuations in the Company's short term results
and contribute to order cancellations. The Company currently has arranged
payment terms for certain of its major manufacturers such that certain of the
Company's major customers pay these manufacturers directly for products ordered
and shipped. In the event these customers do not pay these manufacturers, there
can be no assurance that such manufacturers will not cease supplying the
Company. In addition, as a condition to continuing its manufacturing
arrangement with the Company, the Company granted Mitsubishi Electronics, the
manufacturer of the Company's PressView products, a security interest in all of
the Company's technology and intellectual property rights related to and
incorporated into the Company's PressView products. There can be no assurance
that other manufacturers will not require special terms in order to continue
their relationship with the Company.
The Company is also dependent on sole or limited source suppliers for
certain key components used in its products, including certain digital to analog
converters, digital video chips, color-calibrated monitors and other products.
Certain other semiconductor components and molded plastic parts are also
purchased from sole or limited source suppliers. The Company purchases these
sole or limited source components primarily pursuant to purchase orders placed
from time to time in the ordinary course of business and has no guaranteed
supply arrangements with sole or limited source suppliers. Therefore, these
suppliers are not obligated to supply products to the Company for any specific
period, in any specific quantity or at any specific price, except as may be
provided in a particular purchase order. Although the Company expects that
these suppliers will continue to meet its requirements for the components, there
can be no assurance that they will do so. The Company's reliance on a limited
number of suppliers involves a number of risks, including the absence of
adequate capacity, the unavailability or interruption in the supply of key
components and reduced control over delivery schedules and costs. The Company
expects to continue to rely on a limited number of suppliers for the foreseeable
future. If these suppliers became unwilling or unable to continue to provide
these components the Company would have to develop alternative sources for these
components which could result in delays or reductions in product shipments which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating
results and financial condition. Certain suppliers, due to the Company's
shortages in available cash, have put the Company on a cash or prepay basis
and/or required the Company to provide security for their risk in procuring
components or reserving manufacturing time, and there is a risk that suppliers
will discontinue their relationship with the Company.
The introduction of new products presents additional difficulties in
obtaining timely shipments from suppliers. Additional time may be needed to
identify and qualify suppliers of the new products. Also, the Company has
experienced delays in achieving volume production of new products due to the
time required for suppliers to build their manufacturing capacity. An extended
interruption in the supply of any of the components for the Company's products,
regardless of the cause, could have an adverse impact on the Company's results
of operations. The Company's products also incorporate components, such as
VRAMs, DRAMs and ASICs that are available from multiple sources but have been
subject to substantial fluctuations in availability and price. Since a
substantial portion of the total material cost of the Company's products is
represented by these components, significant fluctuations in their price and
availability could affect its results of operations.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; CONTINUING NEED TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS
11
The personal computer industry in general, and color publishing and video
applications within the industry, are characterized by rapidly changing
technology, often resulting in short product life cycles and rapid price
declines. The Company believes that its success will be highly dependent on its
ability to develop innovative and cost-competitive new products and to bring
them to the marketplace in a timely manner. Should the Company fail to
introduce new products on a timely basis, the Company's operating results could
be adversely affected. Technological innovation is particularly important for
the Company, since its business is based on its ability to provide functionality
and features not included in Apple's products. As Apple introduces new products
with increased functionality and features, the Company's business will be
adversely affected unless it develops new products that provide advantages over
Apple's latest offerings. As a result of the Company's financial condition, it
has had to significantly reduce its research and development expenditures. For
the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company spent approximately $6.2
million on research and development as compared with approximately $13.8 million
for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Furthermore, as described in "--
Need for Additional Financing; Loan Restrictions," the terms of the restructured
loan with IBM Credit will restrict the Company's ability to fund its working
capital needs and, as a result, the ability of the Company to increase research
and development expenditures. Continued reduction in the available cash
resources of the Company could result in the interruption or cancellation of
research and product development efforts which would have a material adverse
effect on the business, operating results and financial condition of the
Company.
The Company anticipates that the video editing industry will follow the
pattern of the professional publishing industry in which desktop publishing
products, including those produced by Radius, replaced more expensive,
proprietary products, and the Company also anticipates that this evolution will
lead to an increase in the purchase and use of video editing products. As a
result, the Company has devoted significant resources to this product line.
There can be no assurance that this evolution will occur in the video editing
industry as expected by the Company, or that even if it does occur that it will
not occur at a slower pace than anticipated. There can also be no assurance
that any video editing products developed by the Company will achieve consumer
acceptance or broad commercial success. For example, the Company initially
began its MacOS compatible systems business in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
and devoted substantial financial resources, including raising approximately
$21.4 million in a private placement of its Common Stock and borrowing an
additional $20.0 million from IBM Credit, and incurring significant research and
development and sales and marketing expenses. This business was never
profitable and the Company sold this line of business in February 1996. In the
event that the increased use of such video editing products does not occur or in
the event that the Company is unable to successfully develop and market such
products, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition
would be materially adversely affected.
The introduction of new products is inherently subject to risks of delay.
Should the Company fail to introduce new products on a timely basis, the
operating results of the Company could be adversely affected. The introduction
of new products and the phasing out of older products will require the Company
to carefully manage its inventory to avoid inventory obsolescence and may
require increase in inventory reserves. The long lead times -- as much as three
to five months -- associated with the procurement of certain components
(principally displays and ASICs) exposes the Company to greater risk in
forecasting the demand for new products. There can be no assurance that the
Company's forecasts regarding new product demand and its estimates of
appropriate inventory levels will be accurate. Moreover, no assurance can be
given that the Company will be able to cause all of its new products to be
manufactured at acceptable manufacturing yields, that the Company will obtain
market acceptance for these products or that potential manufacturers will not be
hesitant to manufacture such new products as a result of the Company's financial
condition.
DEPENDENCE ON INDIRECT DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
The Company's primary means of distribution is through a limited number of
third-party distributors and master resellers that are not under the direct
control of the Company. Furthermore, the Company relies on one exclusive
distributor for its sales in each of Japan and Europe. The Company does not
maintain a direct sales force. As a result, the Company's business and
financial results are highly dependent on the amount of the Company's products
that is ordered by these distributors and resellers. Such orders are in turn
dependent upon the continued viability and financial condition of these
distributors and resellers as well as on their ability to resell such products
and maintain appropriate inventory levels. Furthermore, many of these
distributors and resellers generally carry the product lines of a number of
companies, are not subject to minimum order requirements and can discontinue
marketing the Company's products at any time. Accordingly, the Company must
compete for the focus and sales efforts of these third parties. Because certain
of the Company's major suppliers have arrangements with the Company pursuant to
which certain of the Company's major customers are responsible for payment of
goods sent to the Company, the Company is dependent on certain resellers to make
payments to its suppliers. In addition,
12
due in part to the historical volatility of the personal computer industry,
certain of the Company's resellers have from time to time experienced declining
profit margins, cash flow shortages and other financial difficulties. The
future growth and success of the Company will continue to depend in large part
upon its indirect distribution channels, including its reseller channels. If
its resellers or other distributors were to experience financial difficulties,
the Company's results of operations could be adversely affected.
INTERNATIONAL SALES
Prior to the second fiscal quarter of 1996, the Company's international
sales were primarily made through distributors and the Company's subsidiary in
Japan. Effective April 1, and July 1, 1996 the Company appointed an exclusive
distributor for Japan and Europe, respectively. The Company expects that
international sales, particularly sales to Japan, will represent a significant
portion of its net sales and that it will be subject to the normal risks of
international sales such as currency fluctuations, longer payment cycles, export
controls and other governmental regulations and, in some countries, a lesser
degree of intellectual property protection as compared to that provided under
the laws of the United States. In addition, demand for the Company's products
in Japan could be affected by the transition of its Japanese sales and marketing
efforts from Radius' subsidiary to a distributor. Furthermore, a reduction in
sales efforts or financial viability of this distributor could adversely affect
the Company's net sales and its ability to provide service and support to
Japanese customers. Additionally, fluctuations in exchange rates could affect
demand for the Company's products. If for any reason exchange or price controls
or other restrictions on foreign currencies are imposed, the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's success depends to a significant degree upon the continued
contributions of its key management, marketing, product development and
operational personnel and the Company's ability to retain and continue to
attract highly skilled personnel. Competition for employees in the computer
industry is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to attract and retain qualified employees. Many members of the Company's
management have departed within the past year, including its Chief Financial
Officer and three other Vice Presidents, and the Company has also had
substantial layoffs and other employee departures. Because of the Company's
financial difficulties, it has become increasingly difficult for it to hire new
employees and retain key management and current employees. Moreover, because
voting control of the Company rests in the hands of the Company's creditors as a
group, such creditors could, if acting together, effectuate changes in Board
composition or management. The Company does not carry any key person life
insurance with respect to any of its personnel.
DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and
trade secret protection, nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to
establish and protect its proprietary rights. The Company has a number of
patents and patent applications and intends to file additional patent
applications as it considers appropriate. There can be no assurance that
patents will issue from any of these pending applications or, if patents do
issue, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect the
Company's technology. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patents
that may be issued to the Company will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, or that any rights granted thereunder would provide proprietary
protection to the Company. The Company has a number of trademarks and trademark
applications. There can be no assurance that litigation with respect to
trademarks will not result from the Company's use of registered or common law
marks, or that, if litigation against the Company were successful, any resulting
loss of the right to use a trademark would not reduce sales of the Company's
products in addition to the possibility of a significant damages award.
Although, the Company intends to defend its proprietary rights, policing
unauthorized use of proprietary technology or products is difficult, and there
can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful. The laws of
certain foreign countries may not protect the proprietary rights of the Company
to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
The Company has received, and may receive in the future, communications
asserting that its products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties,
and the Company is engaged and has been engaged in litigation alleging that the
Company's products infringe others' patent rights. As a result of such claims
or litigation, it may become necessary or desirable in the future for the
Company to obtain licenses relating to one or more of its products or relating
to current or future technologies,
13
and there can be no assurance that it would be able to do so on commercially
reasonable terms. See "Business -- Patents and Licenses."
CONTROL BY CREDITORS
Upon consummation of the Plan, the Company's unsecured creditors and IBM
Credit owned in the aggregate approximately 69.7% of the voting power of the
Company (assuming exercise of all available options, such creditors would own
approximately 67% of the voting power of the Company). IBM Credit owns
approximately 9.2% of the Company's voting power and the Committee Members own
approximately 38.6% of the voting power of the Company. The Company's four
largest unsecured creditors, SCI Technology, Inc., Mitsubishi Electronics
America Corp., Hamilton Hallmark/Avnet Co. and Manufacturers Services Limited,
Inc. own approximately 16.2%, 6.7%, 5.3% and 2.9%, respectively, of the voting
power of the Company. All of the Company's creditors acting together would
have voting control of the management and direction of the Company and could
also impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination
involving the Company or discourage a potential acquiror from making a tender
offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company. Although the
Committee Members have acted cooperatively with respect to the negotiation of
the Plan, the Company expects such creditors to continue to act cooperatively
with respect to their ownership of the Company's securities.
The Company also intends to continue to do business with many of its
unsecured creditors, including Mitsubishi Electronics America Corp. and SCI
Technology, Inc., each of whom beneficially own more than 5% of the Company's
Common Stock. As a result, such creditors may be able to influence the terms of
any business relationship between the Company and such creditor. See "Certain
Transactions."
LACK OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
There has been no public market for the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock or the Warrants and the Company does not intend to list such securities on
any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market System or the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Accordingly, it is unlikely that an active public
market for such securities will ever develop. Trading, if any, of such
securities would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in what are
commonly referred to as the "pink sheets." As a result, purchasers may find it
more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the value
of, these securities. Consequently, this lack of a public market may affect the
ability of purchasers in this offering to sell such securities in the secondary
market.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Company's Common Stock.
As of the date of this Prospectus (the "Effective Date"), there will be
approximately 54,441,297 shares of Common Stock outstanding, substantially
all of which will be available for sale without restriction under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") (as compared with
approximately 18,147,099 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 31,
1996) except for those shares which are held by affiliates of the Company.
If the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is converted and if the Warrants
are exercised, up to an additional 17,721,393 shares (including 11,046,060
shares issuable pursuant to the Rights) will be available for sale in the
public market. The tradability of such shares of Common Stock could
materially and adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. See
"-- Volatility of Stock Price."
In addition, the Company is required to pay (on a quarterly basis) an
annual dividend of $300,000 (or $0.40 per share) on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. This dividend may be paid in cash or Common Stock of the
Company. Depending upon its financial position on any dividend payment date,
such dividends may be paid in the form of shares of Common Stock instead of
cash. In the event such dividend is fully paid in shares of Common Stock, a
number of shares having a market value of up to $75,000, the amount of such
quarterly dividend, will be issued each quarter. The Company is offering
Common Stock having a market value of $600,000 (representing the first eight
quarterly dividend payments) in the event that such dividend is paid in
Common Stock and are included in the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part and will be freely tradable. Subsequent dividends in the
form of shares of Common Stock will be subject to the provisions of Rule 144,
including the holding period requirements.
As of August 31, 1996 there were 1,258,689 shares reserved for issuance
upon exercise of options outstanding under the Company's stock option plans
(collectively, the "Plans"). As of such date there were an additional 1,777,862
shares of
14
Common Stock available for issuance under options to be granted under the Plans
and 146,824 shares reserved for issuances for purchases under the Company's
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. All of the shares of Common Stock to be issued
upon exercise of options granted or to be granted or upon stock purchases will
be available for sale in the public market, subject to the Rule 144 volume
limitations applicable to affiliates. The Company intends to adopt a new stock
option plan covering 2,865,658 shares of its Common Stock (which plan will be
amended to cover an aggregate of 4,706,668 shares of Common Stock in the event
that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock).
The Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the
additional shares of Common Stock to be covered by this new plan. Accordingly,
shares subject to options granted under such plan will be available for sale in
the public market after the effective date of such registration statement.
In the event that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not converted
or the Warrants are not exercised during the term of this offering, the holders
of such securities have demand registration rights with respect to the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants which were not converted or exercised
during such period. IBM Credit also has demand registration rights with respect
to any shares of Common Stock which are paid in lieu of cash dividends on the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock after such two-year period. These demand
registration rights will permit such holders to cause the Company, on up to two
occasions, to register such unsold shares of underlying Common Stock commencing
two years after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part. All expenses incurred in connection with such
registrations (other than underwriters' discounts and commissions) will be borne
by the Company. These registration rights will expire once all the securities
covered thereby may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 in a three month period without
registration. Such expiration date will be no earlier than September 1998. See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Registration Rights."
POSSIBLE DELISTING OF COMMON STOCK FROM NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET
The Company's Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
pursuant to an agreement with the NASD which requires that the Company comply
with the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
Failure to meet the continued listing requirements in the future would
subject the Common Stock to delisting. As described under "Recent
Developments -- Nasdaq National Market Delisting," the Common Stock could be
delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market in the event that the price of the
Common Stock drops below $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days (the
last reported sales price for the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
on September 16, 1996 was $1-11/32 per share). Because of the substantial
increase in the number of tradable shares of Common Stock, there could be
downward pressure on the trading price of the Common Stock, which could cause
the Company to fail to meet the minimum bid price requirement for the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. If the Company's Common Stock is delisted, there can be no
assurance that the Company will meet the requirements for initial inclusion,
particularly the $3.00 minimum per share bid requirement. Trading, if any, in
the listed securities after delisting would be conducted in the
over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink
sheets." As a result, investors may find it more difficult to dispose of, or
to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of, the Company's securities.
See "--Volatility of Stock Price" and "Recent Developments -- Nasdaq National
Market Delisting."
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the
shares of Common Stock offered by it hereby. The Company may issue such shares
of Common Stock in lieu of its obligation to pay cash dividends of $600,000 for
the next two years on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities by
the Selling Securityholders. The Company will bear estimated expenses of
approximately $250,000.
15
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
The Company's Common Stock has been quoted on the Nasdaq National Market
from August 21, 1991 until July 1, 1996. The Company's Common stock is now
quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "RDUS." The high and low
sales prices for the Common Stock are indicated below.

As of September 16, 1996, the last sales price as reported on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market for the Common Stock was $1 11/32.
On August 31, 1996, there were approximately 4,450 holders of record of the
Company's Common Stock.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common
Stock. As explained under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" contained
elsewhere in this Prospectus, funds will be required to support future losses
and working capital needs for these reasons. The terms of the Company's
restructured loan agreement with IBM Credit prohibits the payment of any cash
dividends so long as the loans are outstanding. In addition, the 10% annual
cumulative dividend on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock must be paid
before any dividends may be paid on the Common Stock. The Company currently
anticipates that it will retain any future earnings for use in its business and
does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The
payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board
of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings,
operations, capital requirements, the general financial condition of the
Company, general business conditions and contractual restrictions on payment of
dividends, if any.
16
CAPITALIZATION
The following table is intended to provide certain information to illustrate the
effects of the consummation of the Plan on the Company's capitalization. The
table sets forth (i) the historical capitalization of the Company as of June 30,
1996, and (ii) such capitalization, as adjusted to reflect (i) the settlement of
approximately $46.8 million (not including the $1.0 million reserve allocated
to the Radius Creditors Trust) of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and
customer credit balances in exchange for $470,000 in cash (together with the
$1.4 million gain from such discounted cash payment) and 36,294,198 shares of
Common Stock; (ii) the additional advance of $470,000 from IBM Credit; (iii) the
restructuring of the IBM Credit loan and the issuance of 750,000 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to IBM Credit; the reversal of the
restructuring accrual of $2.4 million related to the settlement of the related
cancellation fees accrued; and (iv) the issuance of Common Stock having a market
value of $600,000 in lieu of cash dividend payments for the first eight
quarterly dividend payments on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (based
upon an assumed market price of $111/32 per share, the last sales price on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market on September 16, 1996). The as adjusted amounts assume
that the carrying value of the claims settled equals the value of the equity
securities issued. The difference, to be determined, between the two values
will not affect the combined total of Common Stock and accumulated deficit.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD
DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A
RESULT OF THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
OVERVIEW
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
Company has incurred recurring operating losses and until recently, had a
deficiency in assets and working capital. In addition, the Company has
recently restructured its loan agreement with IBM Credit. The Company has
granted a security interest in most of its assets to IBM Credit. Since the
end of its last fiscal year, the Company's relatively limited cash resources
have restricted the Company's ability to purchase inventory, which in turn
has limited its ability to manufacture and sell products and has resulted in
additional costs for expedited deliveries. The adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations due to its limited cash resources can be
expected to continue until such time as the Company is able to return to
profitability, or generate additional cash from other sources. These
conditions raise concerns about the Company's ability to continue operations
as a going concern. In addition to the Plan described below, management has
implemented a number of actions to address these conditions including:
refocusing its efforts on providing solutions for high end digital video and
graphics customers; discontinuing sales of mass market and other low value
added products; divesting its color server, monochrome display businesses and
its MacOS compatible systems products and other product lines; significantly
reducing expenses and headcount; subleasing all or a portion of its current
facility given its reduced occupancy requirements; and investigating various
strategic partnering opportunities and other divestitures.
In September 1996, the Company, IBM Credit and its unsecured creditors
consummated a debt-for-equity exchange (the "Plan"). Unsecured creditors
forgave approximately $45.9 million of claims (including a $1.0 million
reserve for unknown or unresolved claims) in consideration of the issuance of
36,294,198 shares of Common Stock and Rights to receive 11,046,060 additional
shares of Common Stock in the event that the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock is converted into Common Stock (such numbers include 791,280 and
240,824 shares of Common Stock and Rights, respectively, issued to the Radius
Creditors Trust for the purpose of satisfying a portion of any unknown or
unresolved claims). Certain unsecured creditors, most of which had claims of
less than $50,000 (representing an aggregate of approximately $1.9 million in
claims), were paid cash at an average discount of approximately 75% of the
amount of the claim in satisfaction of their claims. The Company's secured
creditor, IBM Credit, received 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock in
satisfaction of $3.0 million of indebtedness and restructuring the terms of
the Company's remaining approximately $23.4 million indebtedness to IBM
Credit.
After the consummation of the plan, to the Company's knowledge, there
remained unsatisfied claims against the Company, which the Company does not
dispute, of approximately $200,000. The Company has issued an aggregate of
791,280 shares of Common Stock and an additional 240,504 Rights to the Radius
Creditors Trust, for the purpose of satisfying a portion of any such
remaining or previously unknown claims. There can be no assurance that this
amount will be sufficient to satisfy any such claims. If the Company cannot
settle or repay these remaining claims or any previously unknown claims,
there can be no assurance that such claimants will not institute enforcement
proceedings in order to collect their claims. Any such proceedings could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition. In addition, of the approximately 300
persons the Company believed to be Convenience Class Creditors, approximately
50 persons claimed that no balance was owed to such creditors. There can be
no assurance that such creditors will not, in the future, assert claims
against the Company. See "Recent Developments -- Debt for Equity Exchange."
The adverse effect on the Company's results of operations due to its
limited cash resources can be expected to continue until such time as the
Company is able to return to operational profitability, or generate additional
cash from other sources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to do so. See "Risk Factors -- Continuing Operating Losses; Going Concern
Considerations."
The Company experienced net operating losses in the fiscal quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and in each of the fiscal years
ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The Company's ability to continue
operations will depend, initially, upon the Company's ability to repay
creditors with whom accommodations cannot be reached (assuming such remaining
creditors do not institute enforcement proceedings against the Company). In
the future, the Company's ability to sustain profitable operations will
depend upon a number of other factors, including
20
the Company's ability to control costs; the Company's ability to service and
repay its restructured indebtedness to IBM Credit; the Company's ability to
develop innovative and cost-competitive new products and to bring those
products to market in a timely manner; the continual commercial acceptance of
Apple computers and the rate and mix of Apple computers and related products
sold; competitive factors such as new product introductions, product
enhancements and aggressive marketing and pricing practices; general economic
conditions; and other factors. The Company has faced and expects to continue
to face increased competition in graphic cards as a result of Apple's
transition of its product line to the PCI Bus. For these and other reasons,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or
increase profitability in the near term, if at all. See "Risk Factors --
Continuing Operating Losses; Going Concern Considerations," and "-- Need for
Additional Financing; Loan Restrictions."
The Company has experienced substantial fluctuations in operating results.
The Company's customers generally order on an as-needed basis, and the Company
has historically operated with relatively small backlogs. Quarterly sales and
operating results depend heavily on the volume and timing of bookings received
during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. A substantial portion of
the Company's revenues are derived from sales made late in each quarter, which
increases the difficulty in forecasting sales accurately. Since the end of its
1995 fiscal year, shortages of available cash have delayed the Company's receipt
of products from suppliers and increased shipping and other costs. The Company
recognizes sales upon shipment of product, and allowances are recorded for
estimated uncollectable amounts, returns, credits and similar costs, including
product warranties and price protection. Due to the inherent uncertainty of
such estimates, there can be no assurance that the Company's forecasts regarding
bookings, collections, rates of return, credits and related matters will be
accurate. A significant portion of the operating expenses of the Company are
relatively fixed in nature, and planned expenditures are based primarily on
sales forecasts which, as indicated above, are uncertain. Any inability on the
part of the Company to adjust spending quickly enough to compensate for any
failure to meet sales forecasts or to receive anticipated collections, or any
unexpected increase in product returns or other costs, could also have an
adverse impact on the Company's operating results. See "Risk Factors --
Fluctuations in Operating Results."

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
NET SALES. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 decreased
66.8% to $83.3 million from $251.0 million in the same period in fiscal 1995.
This decline was primarily due to the Company's efforts to refocus its business
which included exiting markets for high-volume low-margin displays, reduced
sales of the Company's video and graphics products caused by Apple's shift from
Nubus to PCI Bus computers, and business divestitures.
As a result of the sale by the Company of its Color Server Group, the
Company recorded no revenue from sales of color server products in the third and
second quarter of its 1996 fiscal year and recorded approximately $7.0 million
of net sales for the first quarter of its 1996 fiscal year. The Company
anticipates significantly lower overall net sales in the immediate future as a
result of the Company's decision to focus its efforts on providing solutions for
high end digital video and graphics customers, discontinue selling mass market
displays and other low value added products, and the divestiture of certain
businesses such as its color server group and MacOS compatible systems. Revenues
attributable to the Company's Color Server Group were $21.7 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995. Had the net sales of the Color Server Group not been
included in net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, net
sales for such periods would have been $229.3 million and $76.3 million,
respectively. See "-- Business Divestitures."
One customer accounted for 39.0% of the Company's net sales for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996. For the corresponding period of fiscal 1995, one
customer accounted for 25.1% of the Company's net sales.
The Company's export sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was
52.8% of net sales. The Company anticipates a decline in the percentage of net
sales attributable to the Asia-Pacific and European sales regions in connection
with the appointments of a Japanese and a European distributor. Export sales
are subject to the normal risks associated with doing business in foreign
countries such as currency fluctuations, longer payment cycles, greater
difficulties in accounts receivable collection, export controls and other
government regulations and, in some countries, a lesser degree of intellectual
property protection as compared to that provided under the laws of the United
States. The Company hedges substantially all of its trade receivables
denominated in foreign currency through the use of foreign currency forward
exchange contracts based on third party commitments. Gains and losses
22
associated with currency rate changes on forward contracts are recognized in the
Company's consolidated statements of operations upon contract settlement and
were not material in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 or 1995.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit margin was 19.3% for the nine
month period ending June 30, 1996, as compared with 26.3% for the corresponding
period in fiscal 1995. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to pricing
pressure, greater competition in PCI Bus products than in Nubus products, and
price declines on lower margin displays related to the Company's exit from that
business.
In addition, the Color Server Group had gross profit margin of 34.9% for
the nine months ended June 30, 1995. Had the Color Server Group business been
excluded from the calculation of gross profit margin for such period, the
Company's gross profit margin would have been 22.6% for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995.
The Company anticipates continued price reductions and margin pressure
within its industry. The Company is responding to these trends by focusing on
higher margin products, taking further steps to reduce product costs and
controlling expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company's gross
margins will recover or remain at current levels.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
decreased from $13.8 million or 5.5% of net sales for the first nine months of
fiscal 1995 to $6.2 million or 7.5% of net sales for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1996. The Company decreased its research and development expenses
primarily by reducing expenses related to headcount resulting from the Company's
efforts to refocus its business and business divestitures. The increase in
research and development expenses expressed as a percentage of net sales for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996, was primarily attributed to the decrease in net
sales and the Company's refocusing on higher-end products, rather than high-
volume lower-margin products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from $48.7 million or 19.4% of net sales for
the first nine months of fiscal 1995 to $21.4 million or 25.7% of net sales for
the corresponding period in fiscal 1996. Expenses in the nine month period of
fiscal 1995 included a reduction of approximately $2.1 million of merger-related
restructuring reserves to reflect current requirements.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the building in which the Company
leases its headquarters was sold. In connection with the sale, the Company
terminated its existing lease and entered into a lease with the new owner of the
building. In connection with the final terms of this new lease, expenses in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 included a reduction of approximately $913,000 of
restructuring reserves to reflect current requirements. The Company anticipates
that the change of rental terms will help reduce the Company's occupancy costs
and long-term lease obligations.
The Company decreased its selling, general and administrative expenses
primarily by reducing expenses related to headcount resulting from the Company's
efforts to refocus its business and business divestitures. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of net
sales was primarily attributed to the decrease in net sales and the Company's
refocusing on higher-end products, rather than high-volume lower-margin
products.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income was $21.1 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to other expense of $4.6 million for the
corresponding period in fiscal 1995. The increase was due primarily to other
income of approximately of $23.8 million resulting from the Company's
divestitures of three business lines, including the Color Server Group,
partially offset by approximately $3.1 million in interest expense on amounts
outstanding under the Company's loan agreements.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded a tax provision of
$656,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to a provision for
taxes for the comparable period of fiscal 1995 of $450,000. The tax provision
is primarily comprised of foreign taxes.
FASB Statement 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if
realization of such assets is more likely than not. The Company's valuation
allowance reduced the deferred tax asset to the amount realizable. The Company
has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due
to uncertainties surrounding their realization. Due to the net losses reported
in the prior three years and as a result of the material changes in operations
reported in its 1995 fiscal fourth quarter, predictability of earnings in future
periods is uncertain. The Company will evaluate the realizability of the
deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis.
23
As a result of the issuance of Common Stock and Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in exchange for certain liabilities of the Company, the Company
has experienced a "change of ownership" as defined under Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards will be subject to a substantial annual limitation regarding their
utilization against future tax liabilities. This limitation will result in the
expiration of all of the tax credit carryforwards and a substantial portion of
the net operating loss carryforwards.
NET INCOME (LOSS). As a result of the above factors, the Company had net
income of $8.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to a
net loss of $13.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994
NET SALES. The Company's net sales decreased 5.1% to $308.1 million in
fiscal 1995 from $324.8 million in fiscal 1994. Fiscal 1995 net sales were
reduced by approximately $11.4 million due to reserves taken by the Company in
anticipation of future price reductions on a number of its graphics cards, MacOS
compatible systems and other products that are designed for Apple's NuBus-based
computers which have been largely replaced by Apple's recently introduced PCI
Bus-based computers.
During the 1995 fiscal year, net sales of graphics cards declined
substantially due primarily to reduced demand resulting from Apple's
incorporation of built-in graphics capabilities in its PowerPC based Macintosh
systems. Net sales from displays, accelerator cards and printers also declined
during the 1995 fiscal year. These declines were largely offset by sales of
MacOS compatible systems which were first introduced in the 1995 fiscal year and
by a substantial increase of approximately $13.5 million in net sales from the
Company's color server products. In January 1996, the Company completed the
sale of its color server business and in February, 1996, its MacOS business.
While net sales from the Company's digital video products increased
slightly during the fiscal year, the Company anticipates lower revenue from this
product line until the introduction of new products now under development.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully develop,
introduce and market these new products or that these products will achieve
commercial success.
The Company anticipates significantly lower overall net sales in fiscal
1996 as a result of the Company's decision to focus its efforts on providing
solutions for high end digital video and graphics customers, discontinue selling
mass market displays and other low value added products, and the divestiture of
certain businesses such as its color server group and MacOS compatible systems.
Net sales attributable to the Company's Color Server Group and MacOS compatible
systems were approximately $29.3 million and $21.8, respectively for fiscal
1995. Had the net sales of these businesses not been included in net sales for
the 1995 fiscal year, the Company's net sales for such fiscal year would have
been approximately $257 million.
Export sales represented approximately 40.4%, 34.5%, and 32.0% of net sales
for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. See Note 7 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Export sales are subject to the normal risks
associated with doing business in foreign countries such as currency
fluctuations, longer payment cycles, greater difficulties in accounts receivable
collection, export controls and other government regulations and, in some
countries, a lesser degree of intellectual property protection as compared to
that provided under the laws of the United States.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit margin including restructuring
and other charges declined to 1.7% in fiscal 1995, compared to 14.7%, in fiscal
1994. The Company's gross profit margin excluding the restructuring and other
charges declined to 16.9% in fiscal 1995, compared to 27.3% in fiscal 1994.
Excluding restructuring and other charges, the Company's gross profit margin
declined primarily due to lower sales of higher margin graphics cards, costs
incurred to process higher than expected product returns resulting from the
consolidation of the Radius and SuperMac product lines and slower than expected
sell through of its Radius Telecast digital video product, significant price
erosion on NuBus based MacOS compatible systems combined with high production
costs for these systems, the sale of end of life products, and increased pricing
pressures. The Company anticipates continued competitive pricing actions
resulting in declining prices in its industry.
In addition, the Color Server Group and MacOS businesses had gross profit
(loss) of approximately $9.8 million and ($19.2 million), respectively for
fiscal 1995. Had those businesses not been included in the calculation of the
Company's gross profit for fiscal 1995, gross profit for such fiscal year would
have been approximately $14.6 million, with a gross profit margin of
approximately 5.7%.
24
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
decreased to $19.3 million, or 6.3% of net sales, in fiscal 1995 from $34.0
million, or 10.5% of net sales, in fiscal 1994. The Company's research and
development expenses in fiscal 1994 included restructuring and other charges of
$4.3 million. No restructuring and other charges were included in research and
development expenses in fiscal 1995. The remainder of the decrease in research
and development expenses during the fiscal year was primarily due to the
reduction of expenses as a result of the Company's restructuring following the
Merger. The merger-related restructuring resulted in reduced costs primarily
related to headcount, depreciation, and facilities.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses including restructuring and other charges decreased to
$90.1 million, or 29.2% of net sales, in fiscal 1995 from $94.7 million, or
29.2% of net sales, in fiscal 1994. Selling, general and administrative
expenses excluding restructuring and other charges decreased to $79.2 million,
or 25.7% of net sales, in fiscal 1995 from $84.0 million, or 25.9% of net
sales, in fiscal 1994. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses during the fiscal year was primarily due to the reduction of expenses
as a result of the Company's restructuring following the Merger. The merger-
related restructuring resulted in reduced costs primarily related to headcount,
depreciation and facilities.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's annual combined federal and
state effective income tax rates were approximately (7.4%) (expense) in fiscal
1995 and 6% (benefit) in fiscal 1994. In fiscal 1995, the rate differs from the
combined statutory rate in effect during the period primarily as a result of the
impact of not benefiting the 1995 operating losses and the reversal of existing
deferred tax assets. The fiscal 1994 rate differs from the combined statutory
rate in effect during the period primarily as a result of non-deductible merger
related costs, the one time write-off of purchased research and development
which is not tax deductible and the impact of not benefiting a significant
portion of the 1994 operating loss.
FASB Statement 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if
realization of such assets is more likely than not. The Company's valuation
allowance reduced the deferred tax asset to the amount realizable. The Company
has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due
to uncertainties surrounding their realization. Due to the net losses reported
in the prior three years and as a result of the material changes in operations
reported in its 1995 fiscal fourth quarter, predictability of earnings in future
periods is uncertain. The Company will evaluate the realizability of the
deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expense increased 387.4% to $6.1 million in
fiscal 1995 from $1.2 million in fiscal 1994. This increase was due primarily
to increased interest expense for outstanding borrowings and increased cash
discounts offered to customers for early payment and flooring charges relating
to the Company's accounts receivable.
NET INCOME (LOSS). As a result of the above factors net loss increased
69.9% to $131.7 million in fiscal 1995 from $77.5 million in fiscal year 1994.
The Color Server Group had net income of approximately $3.5 million for fiscal
1995, had this business not been included in the calculation of the Company's
net loss for fiscal 1995, the Company would have had a net loss of approximately
$135.2 million for such fiscal year.
FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993
NET SALES. The Company's net sales decreased 3.7% to $324.8 million in
fiscal 1994 from $337.4 million in fiscal 1993. The Company believes that this
decline in net sales was in part attributable to the customers postponing
purchasing decisions during the fourth quarter as a result of uncertainty as to
which of the Company's product lines would be supported and which would be
discontinued following the Merger. Sales were flat for the nine months ended
June 30, 1994 prior to the Merger. Net sales of video products and displays
increased but this increase was offset by pricing pressure on graphics cards.
Demand was lower than anticipated for graphics cards due to the introduction of
the Power Macintosh by Apple and the resulting customer uncertainty surrounding
the need for graphics acceleration given the built-in video capabilities of this
new product.
GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit margin including the
restructuring and other charges declined to 14.7% in fiscal 1994, compared to
24.6%, in fiscal 1993. The Company's gross profit margin excluding the
restructuring charges declined to 27.3% in fiscal 1994, compared to 31.8% in
fiscal 1993. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding
the restructuring and other charges for SuperMac in December 1993 and Merger
related restructuring and other
25
charges in September 1994. Excluding the restructuring charges, the decline in
gross margins was due to increased pricing pressures and a change in the product
mix favoring lower margin displays over higher margin graphics accelerator
cards.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased slightly to $34.0 million, or 10.5% of net sales, in fiscal 1994 from
$33.5 million, or 9.9% of net sales, in fiscal 1993. The relatively flat
absolute dollar expenditures in research and development activities were due to
recording significant restructuring and other charges related to development
project cancellations, equipment disposal, and severance in fiscal 1994 offset
by the decrease in expenditures in fiscal 1994 as a result of the cancellation
of Radius' efforts to develop a variety of technologies originally intended for
a minicomputer-class server product. Additionally, the research and development
expenses appeared flat due to the SuperMac 1993 restructuring of $2.0 million
for development project cancellations included in both the fiscal 1993 and
fiscal 1994 results of operations.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $94.7 million, or 29.2% of net sales, in
fiscal 1994 from $84.1 million, or 24.9% of net sales, in fiscal 1993. The
increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to increased personnel expense,
market development expenses, restructuring and other charges in fiscal 1994 and
the Company's investment in its information system. The 1993 restructuring and
other charges included the elimination of excess facilities, capital equipment
write-offs, severance payments and the termination of certain contractual
agreements. Restructuring and other charges for fiscal 1994 included the
elimination of duplicative facilities, property and equipment and other assets,
severance payments, as well as transaction fees and costs incidental to the
Merger.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's annual combined federal and
state effective income tax rates were approximately 6% in fiscal 1994 and 40% in
fiscal 1993 before the cumulative effect of the change in method of accounting
for income taxes. The fiscal 1994 rate differs from the combined statutory rate
in effect during the period primarily as a result of non-deductible merger
related costs, the one time write-off of purchased research and development
which is not tax deductible and the impact of not benefiting a significant
portion of the 1994 operating loss. The 1993 rate differs from the combined
statutory rate in effect during the period primarily as a result of the
utilization of the research and development tax credit.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other expense increased to $1.2 million in fiscal
1994 from other income of $70,000 in fiscal 1993. The increase in other expense
was due primarily to reduced interest earned on cash balances, increased
interest expense on outstanding borrowings, the offering of cash discounts to
customers for early payment and flooring charges relating to the Company's
accounts receivable.
NET INCOME (LOSS). As a result of the above factors, net loss increased
285.6% to $77.5 million in fiscal 1994 from $20.1 million in fiscal 1993.
RESTRUCTURING, MERGER AND OTHER CHARGES
During fiscal 1993, 1994 and 1995, four restructuring and other charges
were recorded. Radius recorded a $15.5 million restructuring charge during the
third quarter of fiscal 1993 in connection with the implementation of a program
designed to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. SuperMac recorded
a $16.6 million restructuring charge during December 1993 in connection with a
program to realign its inventory and facility and personnel resources.
Subsequently, the two companies merged and incurred a restructuring charge of
$43.4 million. In September 1995, Radius recorded $57.9 million restructuring
charge in connection with the Company's efforts to refocus and streamline its
business. A discussion of each of these events follows.
RADIUS JUNE 1993 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In June 1993, Radius
announced a restructuring program designed to reduce costs and improve operating
efficiencies. The program included, among other things, the write-down of
inventory following Radius' decision to phase out its older generation of
products, lease termination expenses, capital equipment write-offs, severance
payments, and costs associated with the discontinuation of Radius' minicomputer-
class server product. The restructuring program costs of $15.5 million were
recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 1993. These charges (in thousands)
are included in: cost of sales ($10,993); research and development ($411); and
selling, general and administrative expenses ($4,096). The Company completed
this restructuring event by the end of calendar 1994. There were no material
changes in the restructuring plan or in the estimates of the restructuring costs
from the recognition of the charge in June 1993 with the completion of the
restructuring program in December 1994.
26
SUPERMAC DECEMBER 1993 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In December 1993,
SuperMac recorded charges of $16.6 million in connection with a program to
adjust inventory levels, eliminate excess facilities, terminate certain projects
and contract arrangements and reduce the number of employees. The charges (in
thousands) are included in: cost of sales ($13,352); research and development
($2,000); and selling, general and administrative expenses ($1,238). There have
been no material changes in the restructuring plan or in the estimates of the
restructuring costs. The Company has $236,000 remaining in its restructuring
reserve related to facility costs, the balance of which is expected to be
eliminated in fiscal 1996. As noted in the Consolidated Financial Statements,
the consolidated results for the Company in both the twelve months ended
September 30, 1994 and the fiscal period ended 1993 include SuperMac's $16.6
million charge.
RADIUS FISCAL 1994 MERGER RELATED RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company recorded charges of $43.4 million in
connection with the Merger of Radius and SuperMac. These charges include the
discontinuance of duplicative product lines and related assets; elimination of
duplicative facilities, property and equipment and other assets; and personnel
severance costs as well as transaction fees and costs incidental to the merger.
The charges (in thousands) are included in: net sales ($3,095); cost of sales
($25,270); research and development ($4,331); and selling, general and
administrative expenses ($10,711). The elements of the total charge as of June
30, 1996 are as follows (in thousands):

Merger related costs 2,949 - 2,949 -
-------- ------- ------- -------
Total charges $43,407 $26,678 $15,885 $ 844
The adjustment of inventory levels reflects the discontinuance of
duplicative product lines. The provision for excess facility costs represents
the write-off of leaseholds and sublease costs of Radius' previous headquarters,
the consolidation into one main headquarters and the consolidation of sales
offices. The revision of the operations business model reflects the
reorganization of the combined Company's manufacturing operations to mirror
Radius' manufacturing reorganization in 1993. This reorganization was designed
to outsource a number of functions that previously were performed internally,
reduce product costs through increased efficiencies and lower overhead, and
focus the Company on a limited number of products. Employee severance costs are
related to employees or temporary employees who were released due to the revised
business model. Approximately 250 employees were terminated in connection with
the Merger. The provision for merger related costs is for the costs associated
with the Merger transaction, such as legal, investment banking and accounting
fees. The Company has spent $15.9 million of cash for restructuring through
June 30, 1996. The Company expects to have substantially completed the
restructuring by September 1996. During fiscal 1995, approximately $2.1 million
of merger related restructuring reserves were reversed and recorded as an
expense reduction due to changes in estimated requirements.
RADIUS FISCAL 1995 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES. In September 1995,
Radius recorded charges of $57.9 million in connection with the Company's
efforts to restructure its operations by refocusing its business on the color
publishing and multimedia markets. The charges primarily included a writedown
of inventory and other assets. Additionally, the charges included expenses
related to the cancellation of open purchase orders, excess facilities and
employee severance. The charges (in thousands) are included in cost of sales
($47,004), and selling, general and administrative expense ($10,861). The
elements of the total charge as of June 30, 1996 are as follows (in thousands):

-------- ------- ------ -------
Total charges $57,865 $37,900 $4,823 $15,142
The adjustment of inventory levels reflects the discontinuance of several
product lines. Revenues and gross profit (loss) for significant product lines
discontinued were as follows: Mac-OS compatible systems were approximately
$21.8 million and $(19.2) million, respectively; and low-margin displays were
approximately $82.9 million and $19.6 million, respectively. The provision for
excess facility costs represent the write-off of leasehold improvements and the
costs associated with anticipated reductions in facilities. The cancellation
fees and asset write-offs reflect the Company's decision to refocus its efforts
on providing solutions for the color publishing and multimedia markets.
Employee severance costs are related to employees or temporary employees who
have been or will be released due to the restructuring. As of June 30, 1996,
approximately 228 positions of the 240 total planned had been eliminated in
connection with the restructuring. The Company had spent approximately $4.8
million of cash for this restructuring during the nine months ended June 30,
1996 and during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, approximately $913,000 of
restructuring charges were reversed and recorded as an expense reduction due to
changes in estimated requirements. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had cash of
$3.3 million. The Company expects to have substantially completed the
restructuring by the end of September 1996.
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
In September 1992, the Company and certain of its officers and directors
were named as defendants in a securities class action litigation brought in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of California that sought
unspecified damages, prejudgment and post judgment interest, attorneys' fees,
expert witness fees and costs, and equitable relief. In July 1994, SuperMac
Technology, Inc. ("SuperMac") and certain of its officers and directors, several
venture capital firms and several of the underwriters of SuperMac's May 1992
initial public offering and its February 1993 secondary offering were named as
defendants in a class action litigation brought in the same court that sought
unspecified damages, prejudgment and post judgment interest, attorneys' fees,
experts' fees and costs, and equitable relief (including the imposition of a
constructive trust on the proceeds of defendants' trading activities).
In June 1995, the Court approved the settlement of both litigations and
entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal. Under the settlement of the
litigation brought in 1992 against the Company, the Company's insurance carrier
paid $3.7 million in cash and the Company issued a total of 128,695 shares of
its Common Stock to a class action settlement fund. In the settlement of the
litigation brought in 1994 against SuperMac, the Company paid $250,000 in cash
and is to issue into a class action settlement fund a total of 707,609 shares of
its Common Stock. The number of shares to be issued by the Company increased by
100,000 because the price of the Company's Common Stock was below $12 per share
during the 60-day period following the initial issuance of shares. In
connection with these settlements, the financial statements for the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 included a charge to other income of $12.4 million,
reflecting settlement costs not covered by insurance as well as related legal
fees, resulting in a reduction in net income from $1.4 million to a net loss of
$11.0 million or $0.78 per share for the quarter.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had issued 836,674 shares of its Common
Stock due to the settlements and 99,630 shares remained to be issued.
BUSINESS DIVESTITURES
COLOR SERVER GROUP DIVESTITURE. In January 1996, the Company completed the
sale of its Color Server Group ("CSG") to Splash Merger Company, Inc. (the
"Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. (the
"Parent"), a corporation formed by various investment entities associated with
Summit Partners. The Company received approximately $17.2 million in cash and
4,282 shares of the Parent's 6% Series B Redeemable and Convertible Preferred
Stock
28
(the "Series B Preferred Stock"). An additional $4.7 million was placed in
escrow to secure certain post-closing and indemnification obligations. In
April 1996, approximately $2.3 million was released from this escrow to the
Company and the Company also received approximately $1.5 million as a result
of post-closing adjustments. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are
convertible by the Company at any time into approximately 19.9% of the
Parent's Common Stock outstanding as of the closing of the transaction. The
Company has not converted the Series B Preferred Stock into Common stock of
the Parent. Furthermore, such stock has been pledged to IBM Credit. In
connection with IBM Credit agreeing to subordinate its security interest in
certain technology and intellectual property rights incorporated in the
Company's Pressview products to the security interest granted to Mitsubishi
Electronics, the Company granted IBM Credit an option to purchase 428 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock at $0.01 per share. IBM Credit has exercised this
option and the Company has assigned 428 of its shares of Series B Preferred
Stock to IBM Credit. In addition, under the terms of the new loan agreement
with IBM Credit, IBM Credit has the right to require Radius to sell up to 50%
of its Series B Preferred Stock (or the shares of Common Stock into which
such Series B Preferred Stock is convertible) within one year of the initial
public offering of Parent and up to 25% of its Series B Preferred Stock (or
the shares of Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible) during each of the second and third year following such initial
public offering. If the balance due under the term loan with IBM Credit
exceeds 90% of the market value of such Series B Preferred Stock (or the
shares of Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible) after the initial public offering of Parent, IBM Credit can
require Radius to sell such securities to repay such term loan. The shares
of Series B Preferred Stock also will be redeemable by the Parent at any
time, and will be subject to mandatory redemption beginning on the sixth
anniversary of issuance, in each case at a redemption price of $1,000 per
share plus accrued dividends. The Company has certain indemnification
obligations in connection with the patent lawsuit brought by Electronics for
Imaging, Inc. The net proceeds of the CSG transaction were paid to Silicon
Valley Bank ("SVB"), in order to repay the Company's indebtedness to SVB, and
to IBM Credit, in order to reduce the Company's outstanding indebtedness to
IBM Credit. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information."
PORTRAIT DISPLAY LABS. In January 1996, the Company entered into a series
of agreements with Portrait Display Labs, Inc. ("PDL"). The agreements assigned
the Company's pivoting technology to PDL and canceled PDL's on-going royalty
obligation to the Company under an existing license agreement in exchange for a
one-time cash payment. The Company did not receive any material amount of
payments under such license agreement. PDL also granted the Company a limited
license back to the pivoting technology. Under these agreements, PDL also
settled its outstanding receivable to the Company by paying the Company $500,000
in cash and issuing to the Company 214,286 shares of PDL's Common Stock. The
cash proceeds were paid to IBM Credit.
UMAX DATA SYSTEMS, INC. In February 1996, the Company sold its MacOS
compatible systems business to UMAX Computer Corporation ("UCC"), a company
formed by UMAX Data Systems, Inc. ("UMAX"). The Company received approximately
$2.3 million in cash and debt relief, and 1,492,500 shares of UCC's Common
Stock, representing approximately 19.9% of UCC's then outstanding shares of
Common Stock. The cash proceeds were paid to IBM Credit and the shares of UCC
Common Stock were pledged to IBM Credit.
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES ELECTROHOME INC. In December 1995, the Company
completed the sale of its monochrome display monitor business to Display
Technologies Electrohome Inc. ("DTE"). DTE purchased Radius' monochrome display
monitor business and certain assets related thereto, for approximately $200,000
in cash and cancellation of $2.5 million of the Company's indebtedness to DTE.
In addition, DTE and Radius canceled outstanding contracts relating to DTE's
manufacture and sale of monochrome display monitors to Radius.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $11.2
million during fiscal 1995 to approximately $4.8 million at September 30, 1995,
as compared with the fiscal 1994 ending balance of cash and cash equivalents of
$16.0 million. Approximately $1.6 million of the $4.8 million of cash and cash
equivalents available at September 30, 1995 was restricted under various letters
of credit. The decrease in the Company's cash and cash equivalents during
fiscal 1995 was primarily attributable to expenditures made in connection with
the development and introduction of the Company's MacOS compatible systems. The
Company's cash increased approximately $500,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 to $3.3 million at June 30, 1996 as compared to the ending balance at March
31, 1996 of $2.8 million. Approximately $400,000 of the $3.3 million of cash
and cash equivalents available at June 30, 1996 was restricted under various
letters of credit.
29
The Company also holds securities in Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. and
UMAX Computer Corporation, which have been pledged to IBM Credit. Because both
of these companies are private companies, there is no market for such
securities. In addition, as described under "-- Business Divestitures -- Color
Server Group Divestiture," the Company will be required to sell its securities
in Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. over no longer than a three year period
after such Company's initial public offering if amounts are outstanding under
the loan with IBM Credit.
The Company has granted to IBM Credit a security interest in substantially
all of its assets to secure the Company's various obligations to IBM Credit.
The Company has also granted to Mitsubishi Electronics a security interest
(securing an amount up to $4.4 million) in all of the Company's technology and
intellectual property rights related to and incorporated into the Company's
PressView products.
The Company's principal source of liquidity is an up to $5.0 million
working line of credit provided by IBM Credit pursuant to the terms of the
restructured loan with IBM Credit, however this working line of credit is not
expected to provide the Company with a significant source of liquidity for the
foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company intends to finance its working
capital needs through cash generated from operations. See "Risk Factors -- Need
for Additional Financing; Loan Restrictions."
In connection with the Plan, IBM Credit received 750,000 shares of the
Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 600,000
shares of Common Stock in consideration of the cancellation of $3.0 million of
indebtedness to IBM Credit and for an additional advance of $500,000. In
addition, IBM Credit has restructured the terms of the remaining approximately
$23.4 million indebtedness into a working line of credit and a term loan. The
Company has an up to $5.0 million working line of credit and IBM Credit will
extend advances under this line of credit in an amount not to exceed the
borrowing base (which is defined as (i) the lesser of 10% of the gross value of
eligible inventory or $500,000; plus (ii) 80% of the Company's eligible domestic
accounts receivable; plus (iii) the lesser of 50% of the gross value of certain
eligible Japanese and European accounts receivable or $500,000). The $470,000
advanced by IBM Credit pursuant to the Plan is included in this working line of
credit but will not be included in the calculation of the borrowing base. The
initial amount of current indebtedness to be outstanding under this line of
credit is $1.5 million, the amount of the borrowing base on the date of the
closing of the restructured loan. The remaining $21.9 million balance of the
Company's indebtedness to IBM Credit has been converted to a four-year term
loan. Principal on such term loan will be repaid on a mandatory prepayment
schedule. The restructured loan with IBM Credit is subject to mandatory
prepayment as follows: (i) upon the disposition of any assets of the Company
outside of the ordinary course of business, all net proceeds to the Company must
be applied towards the Company's obligations under the loan; (ii) upon the
closing of any financing, 10% of the proceeds must be applied towards the
Company's obligations under the loan; (iii) upon the thirtieth day following the
end of each fiscal quarter, an amount of no less than 50% of operating cash flow
for such prior fiscal quarter must be applied towards the Company's obligations
under the loan; and (iv) upon the receipt of any other amounts other than sales
of inventory or used or obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of business,
and not otherwise described in the preceding clause (i) - (iii), all of such
amounts must be applied towards the Company's obligations under the loan. If
the Company's obligations under the term loan, as well as finance charges and
amounts outstanding in excess of the "borrowing base" (described above) under
the working line of credit, are repaid, IBM Credit can require such proceeds to
be applied towards a redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In
addition, the Company is required to deposit its revenues in accounts controlled
by IBM Credit. At any time, regardless of whether the Company is in default of
its obligations to IBM Credit, IBM Credit is permitted to apply these amounts
towards the repayment of any of the Company's obligations to IBM Credit. As a
result of IBM Credit's control over the Company's cash flow and these prepayment
and redemption provisions, together with the other terms and covenants of the
restructured loan agreement, the Company's ability to generate working capital
or to undertake a variety of other merger, disposition or financing activities
will be substantially restricted. See "Risk Factors -- Need for Additional
Financing; Loan Restrictions."
As a result of IBM's control over the Company's cash flow and these
restrictions on the Company's excess cash flow, the Company anticipates that it
will not have significant cash available for expenditures other than for its
ordinary course of business operating expenses. In the event the Company were
unable to generate sufficient net sales or if the Company incurs unforeseen
operating expenses, it may not be able to meet its operating expenses without
additional financing or a restructuring of its loan agreements with IBM Credit.
In the event that the Company desired to acquire any strategic technologies or
businesses, it would probably be unable to do so without obtaining additional
financing or the consent of IBM Credit. See "Risk Factors -- Need for
Additional Financing; Loan Restrictions."
30
Previously, the Company funded its operations through the public and
private sale of equity securities, bank loans and cash flow from operations.
The Company completed a private placement during the third quarter of the 1995
fiscal year, the proceeds of which were utilized to build inventory of MacOS-
compatible systems components and reduce other vendor payables. This business
never generated a positive gross margin and the Company subsequently sold its
MacOs business in February 1996. See "Risk Factors -- Technological Change;
Continuing Need to Develop Products." In this private placement, the Company
sold 2,509,319 shares of its Common Stock resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $21.4 million. Other than the loan from IBM Credit,
the Company currently has no other bank loans.
Capital expenditures were approximately $215,000 during the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 and were $1.9 million in fiscal 1995 and $3.5 million in
fiscal 1994 and were primarily for leasehold improvements and upgrading the
Company's management information systems. The Company has no present plans for
any significant amount of capital expenditures in the future.
At September 16, 1996, the Company' principal commitments consisted of
obligations under its credit agreement with IBM Credit and its obligations under
building and capital leases. See Notes 2 and 3 to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company is also a party to various litigation proceedings, the
costs of defending which or the outcome of which could adversely affect the
Company's liquidity. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings."
Recently, the Company's limited cash resources have restricted the
Company's ability to purchase inventory which in turn has limited its ability to
manufacture and sell products and has resulted in additional costs for expedited
deliveries. The adverse effect on the Company's results of operations due to
its limited cash resources can be expected to continue until such time as the
Company is able to return to profitability, or generate additional cash from
other sources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do
so.
The Company believes it has sufficient funds to finance its operations for
the next 12 months. Additional funds will be needed to finance the Company's
operations, product development plans and for other purposes if the Company's
operating expenses are higher than anticipated. Additional financing will also
be required if the Company desires to acquire or invest in complementary
businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies.
While the Company is now investigating possible financing opportunities, there
can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or,
if available, that the terms of such financing will not adversely affect the
Company's results of operations.

BUSINESS
Overview
The Company designs, develops, manufactures, markets and supports color
publishing and digital video computer products for creative professionals. The
Company's current product line includes: accelerated color graphics products
that facilitate the creation and manipulation of graphical images; video systems
and software that can acquire and manipulate video and audio information; and
high resolution color reference displays that allow users to view text,
graphics, images and video.
The primary target markets for the Company's products are color publishing
and multimedia. These markets encompass creative professionals involved in such
areas as color prepress, graphic arts, video editing, video and multimedia
production and playback, and corporate training.
To date substantially all of the Company's products have been designed for
and sold to users of Macintosh computer products (the "Macintosh") manufactured
by Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") as Apple products have been the preferred
platform in the Company's target markets.
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company
has incurred substantial operating losses and, until recently, had a deficiency
in assets and working capital. Management has implemented, a number of actions
to address this situation including: refocusing its efforts on providing
solutions for high end digital video and graphics customers; discontinuing sales
of mass market and other low value added products; divesting its color server
and monochrome display businesses and its MacOS compatible systems products and
other product lines; significantly reducing expenses and headcount; subleasing
all or a portion of its current facility given its reduced occupancy
requirements; and investigating various strategic partnering opportunities.
The Company, IBM Credit and its unsecured creditors recently consummated
the Plan pursuant to which the Company's creditors received equity in
satisfaction of their claims. The Company issued 36,294,198 shares of Common
Stock in satisfaction of approximately $45.9 million in unsecured claims
(including a $1.0 million reserve for unknown or unresolved claims) and
repaid approximately $1.9 million of unsecured claims, most of which were
less than $50,000, at an average discount of approximately 75% of the amount
of the claim. Of these shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan,
791,280 were issued to the Radius Creditors Trust for the purpose of
satisfying unresolved or unknown claims. The Company also issued 750,000
shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase
600,000 shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of $3.0 million indebtedness
to IBM Credit and in consideration of restructuring its remaining
approximately $23.4 million indebtedness to IBM Credit. The Company also
issued Rights to receive an additional 11,046,060 shares of Common Stock to
its unsecured creditors who received Common Stock in the event that the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock
(including 240,824 Rights issued to the Radius Creditors Trust). See "Recent
Developments -- Debt for Equity Exchange."
The Company's executive offices are located at 215 Moffett Park Drive,
Sunnyvale, CA 94089, and its telephone number is (408) 541-6100.

ACCELERATED COLOR GRAPHICS PRODUCTS
The Radius graphics product families offer a wide range of user choices to
enhance the graphics performance of Apple Macintosh computers based on both the
NuBus and PCI bus architectures. The choices range from an entry level
accelerated 8-bit color graphics card (256 colors with up to 1 million pixels of
color display information) to a variety of accelerated 24-bit color graphics
cards (up to 16.7 million colors). All of the Company's graphics card products
offer a range of high speed QuickDraw acceleration features and support numerous
Radius, Apple and other third-party displays ranging from 13-inches to 21-inches
in size. The Company's graphics card products also allow the user to switch
resolutions "on-the-fly" without having to reboot the computer.
The Thunder (PCI), ThunderPower (PCI), ThunderColor (PCI) and Thunder IV
(NuBus) class graphics cards offer enhanced resolutions, as well as a number of
other acceleration capabilities for Adobe Photoshop, a popular application for
working with computer images. These graphics cards also feature hardware pan
and zoom capability, enabling users to quickly change the size and the amount of
the information on their color display. The Company believes these capabilities
allow users working with large amounts of detailed information to be more
productive because they can quickly accomplish a variety of tasks using these
hardware-based acceleration features.
The ThunderColor (PCI), Thunder 30 (PCI), and Thunder IV (NuBus) graphics
cards include multiple 66 MHz AT&T digital signal processors ("DSPs") that
accelerate Adobe Photoshop. Having parallel processing DSPs rather than the
base Macintosh's CPU perform the millions of computations required to manipulate
Photoshop images means that customers can produce finished results more quickly
and are more productive in their creative and production process. These cards
include chip technology that enables users to use Photoshop's CMYK color mode
faster than the native Macintosh. This is attractive to imaging professionals
who use Photoshop to work with and edit images comprised of 'ink' data which is
ready for printing. The Company believes this special "CMYK acceleration"
technology makes working with ink images on a computer display more interactive.
DIGITAL VIDEO SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE
Radius offers a number of products for the non-linear digital video editing
and production market. Non-linear digital editing enables video editors to
manipulate pictures and sound in a faster, easier and more cost effective manner
than traditional analog tape-based systems. Editors can randomly access and
digitally "cut and paste" images, videos and sound clips avoiding the tedious
process of winding and rewinding of linear tape and the subsequent physical
cutting and splicing of film segments.
VideoVision Studio and VideoVision PCI, Radius' leading desktop video
product, was the first fully QuickTime compatible video editing and production
system that supported full-screen (640 x 480 pixels), full-motion video at 60-
fields per-second. VideoVision Studio offers JPEG video
compression/decompression capabilities, 16-bit C.D. stereo audio, and
33
allows users to output their finished product directly and easily to
videotape. VideoVision Studio is compatible with QuickTime based software
applications for editing, effects, titling, graphics, animation and audio.
Radius Telecast (NuBus) offers broadcast quality digital video for short
form projects. Radius Telecast features include: high-quality, Betacam SP
component, S-video and composite digitizing and play back; QuickTime-compliant
video system software; 16-bit analog audio; and a 19" rack-mountable design.
Radius Telecast is designed to provide full QuickTime support, a high degree of
studio integration and professional video and audio support.
Radius also offers a QuickTime compliant digital video non linear
editing, compositing and animation software applications that facilitate the
creation and editing of digital video content. Radius Edit 2.0 is a
non-linear professional digital video editing solution that features an
intuitive user interface, FX templates, built-in titling, multiple key
frames, batch digitizing and picture-in-picture capabilities. Radius Edit
2.0 also offers a variety of high-quality special effects for digital video
editing including pan-zoom-rotating, chroma keying and compositing.
DISPLAYS
The Company currently offers a variety of large color reference displays
designed for desktop color publishers and graphic artists. The PressView SR
series (PressView 21SR and PressView 17SR) is designed to offer the color
accuracy, resolution and clarity needed for high quality color prepress, media
authoring, photography, medical imaging and scientific image processing. These
color reference displays offer consistent and accurate color preproofing at
resolutions of up to 1600 by 1200 pixels. The PrecisionView 21 also offers
resolutions of up to 1600 by 1200 pixels but at a lower price point. The
PressView SR series supports Kodak PrecisionColor, Agfa FotoFlow, Apple
ColorSync 2.0 and EFI Color management systems to ensure color accuracy.
In the past, the Company has also offered a variety of monochrome displays.
As part of its strategy to refocus its business, the Company entered into a
definitive agreement on December 21, 1995 to sell its monochrome display
business to Display Technologies Electrohome Inc. For a more complete
discussion see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition --
Business Divestitures."
COLOR MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS
Color peripherals tend to vary over time from their original
specifications, thus causing significant color variances. Display calibrators
control the way peripherals produce color, making the color more consistent and
predictable. The Company's Prosense Display Calibrator works with sensing
technology and Macintosh software to measure the actual color performance of a
display and then adjust information in the Macintosh graphics card so that the
colors will be accurate. This product also communicates with a number of third
party color management systems to provide color information about the display so
that color can be managed from one peripheral to another.
TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development efforts are focused on creating new
products and technologies for customers who create, review, approve and utilize
high resolution color images and moving video. Current research and development
efforts include: (i) performance improvements and cost reductions of current
products; (ii) development of 3D graphics subsystems; (iii) development of
application software to facilitate the creation and manipulation of video and
high resolution still images; (iv) development of integrated software that
improves ease of use and functionality of the Company's graphics cards, digital
video cards, and color reference displays; and (v) development of next
generation technology to enable new methods of displaying and creating
information with greater flexibility, speed, and quality.
The Company believes that the competitive nature of the computer industry,
along with the rapid pace of technological evolution, requires that it continue
to introduce innovative products on a timely basis to compete effectively.
During the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company's expenditures for research and development totaled $6.2 million, $19.3
million, $34.0 million, and $33.5 million, respectively. To date, all of the
Company's research and development expenditures have been charged to operations
as incurred. Because of its financial condition, the Company does not
anticipate having research and development expenditures equal to its historical
levels, which could adversely affect the Company's ability to develop and
introduce new products. See "Risk Factors -- Need for Additional Financing;
Loan Restrictions."
34
There can be no assurance that the Company's development efforts will
result in commercially successful products, or that the Company's products will
not be rendered obsolete by changing technology or new products introduced by
others. Additionally, should the Company fail to introduce new products on a
timely basis, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected. In
the past, the Company expended substantial resources towards its MacOS product
line which did not achieve profitability and which was subsequently sold. See
"Risk Factors -- Technological Change; Continuing Need to Develop New Products."
The principles and features underlying the design of the Company's products
are: identification and reduction of performance bottlenecks in graphics and
video systems; providing consistency of color fidelity across products and
applications; utilization of ASIC technology; and innovation within standard
operating system environments.
IDENTIFICATION AND REDUCTION OF BOTTLENECKS IN GRAPHICS AND VIDEO SYSTEMS
The Company analyzes the performance of applications and hardware products
within the environment of the host CPU and operating system with the goal of
determining which parts of the overall solution are most resource and time
intensive so that products can be developed which outperform the existing
solutions. The Company has developed considerable knowledge of system software
such as Apple's QuickDraw and QuickTime and critical application software such
as Adobe Photoshop. The Company believes that its ability to eliminate
bottlenecks in a manner that is compatible with existing Apple and third party
products is a significant advantage in the marketplace.
PROVIDING CONSISTENCY OF COLOR FIDELITY ACROSS PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS
The Company strives to provide users with the most accurate and repeatable
color available. The Company's high-end color reference displays provide tools
to calibrate the display with both objective standards and visual perception,
and to adjust the color range of the display to fit user needs.
UTILIZATION OF ASIC TECHNOLOGY
On a selective basis, the Company uses its in-house integrated computer
aided engineering capabilities to develop proprietary ASIC chips for use in its
own products. The use of ASIC chips allows the Company to increase performance
while reducing chip count and board size which thereby reduces cost. ASICs are
used heavily throughout the Company's graphics card line. In some cases,
however, commercially available devices offer better overall price/performance
than proprietary ASICs (given the development cost involved), and the Company's
strategy is to make the tradeoff on a product-by-product basis to provide the
most cost-effective solution.
INNOVATION WITHIN STANDARD OPERATING SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTS
In order to maintain compatibility with the broad existing base of
installed hardware and software, the Company seeks to innovate in conjunction
with existing standards. For example, the Company's graphics cards are
compatible with third party graphics software (such as Adobe Photoshop and Quark
Pagemaker) as well as NuBus and PCI-based computers. Similarly, the Company's
digital video cards are tightly integrated into Apple's standard QuickTime
environment.
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company employs a two-tiered distribution model whereby it sells its
products primarily through a limited number of distributors and master resellers
that in turn distribute the Company's products to a variety of resellers
including superstores, independent dealers, educational resellers, systems
integrators, value added resellers and mail order resellers. The Company's
distributors and master resellers purchase products at discounts from suggested
retail prices based on purchase volumes.
In the United States, the Company sells its products primarily through the
following major distributors and master resellers: Ingram Micro, Inc.; and
MicroAge. The Company's business and financial results are highly dependent on
the success of these distributors and master resellers. To assist these
domestic distributors and master resellers and to provide marketing, training
and technical support, the Company maintains field sales facilities in a number
of locations throughout the United States. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on
Indirect Distribution Channels."
35
Radius provides market development funds that give distributors and master
resellers incentives to increase sales, improve reporting and achieve a product
mix favoring higher margin products.
Internationally, sales are made through worldwide distributors, which
market, sell and service the Company's products, and until the second quarter of
1996, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary located in Tokyo, Japan. Currently
has entered into exclusive distributor arrangements for Japan and Europe. The
Company maintains international sales offices in Surrey, England; Hamburg,
Germany; and Paris, France. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, and for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company's export
sales accounted for approximately 52.8%, 40.4%, 34.5% and 32.0%, respectively,
of the Company's net sales. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company's export sales are subject to certain risks common to
international operations, such as currency fluctuations and governmental
regulation. See "Risk Factor -- International Sales."
For the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, Ingram Micro, Inc. accounted for
approximately 39.0%, 34.0%, 13.5% and 11.5% of the Company's net sales,
respectively.
Many of the Company's distributors and master resellers have the right to
return products purchased from the Company. While the Company provides for
estimated product returns, if in the future the Company were to experience
returns from customers significantly in excess of this estimate, such returns
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company's marketing programs support worldwide sales and distribution
of its products. The Company's principal marketing activities include frequent
participation in industry trade shows and seminars, advertising in major trade
publications worldwide, public relations activities with the trade and business
press, publication of technical articles, distribution of sales literature and
product specifications and communications with its installed base of end users.
The Company's marketing programs are designed to generate sales leads for its
distributors and master resellers as well as to enhance the Company's brand name
recognition.
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS
As a result of the Company's outsourcing of manufacturing, substantially
all of the Company's assembly, quality control testing, packaging and other
manufacturing operations are performed by the Company's suppliers, contract
manufacturers, and other subcontractors. The Company has developed a quality
assurance program with these third parties.
The Company attempts to utilize standard parts and components available
from multiple vendors. However, certain components used in the Company's
products are available only from sole or limited suppliers, such as certain
ASICs from LSI Logic NEC and certain VideoVision parts from Toshiba. The
Company's products also incorporate components, such as video random access
memory, that are available from multiple sources but have been subject to
substantial fluctuations in availability and price. Although the Company has
been able to obtain an adequate supply of such components in the past, there can
be no assurance that it will be able to obtain an adequate supply in the future.
See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on Limited Number of Manufacturers and
Suppliers."
COMPETITION
The color publishing and multimedia markets are, and are expected to
remain, highly competitive. The Company's principal competitors in the color
publishing market include Apple, ATI Technology and Diamond Multimedia Systems.
The Company's principal competitors in the multimedia market include Truevision
(formerly RasterOps Corporation), Data Translation, Inc., Matrox, Inc., Avid
Technology, Inc., VideoLogic, Inc. and Fast Electronics GmbH. The market for
the Company's products is evolving, and it is difficult to predict all future
sources of competition.
Although Apple is principally a supplier of general purpose computing
platforms upon which third parties are encouraged to build more complete
solutions, the Company also faces competition from Apple. Apple markets a
number of products, including computer systems and color displays, that compete
directly or indirectly with the Company. Apple also could introduce additional
products, add functionality to their computer systems that is similar to that
provided by certain of the Company's products, or alter its systems'
architecture in a manner that could adversely affect the Company's ability to
compete. For example, Apple's PowerPC based products which have on-board
graphic functionality and faster processing speed, could
36
be considered competitors of specific product lines of the Company's. See
"Risk Factors -- Dependence on and Competition with Apple."
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors for its product
line are product performance, breadth of distribution, brand name recognition,
price and customer support. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to compete successfully with respect to these factors. In addition, many
of the Company's current and prospective competitors have significantly greater
technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than the Company. See "Risk
Factors -- Competition."
PATENTS AND LICENSES
The Company relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and
trade secret protection, nondisclosure agreements and licensing arrangements to
establish and protect its proprietary rights. The Company has a number of
patents and patent applications and intends to file additional patent
applications as it considers appropriate. There can be no assurance that
patents will issue from any of these pending applications or, if patents do
issue, that any claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to protect the
Company's technology. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patents
that may be issued to the Company will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, or that any rights granted thereunder would provide proprietary
protection to the Company. The Company has a number of trademarks and trademark
applications. There can be no assurance that litigation with respect to
trademarks will not result from the Company's use of registered or common law
marks, or that, if litigation against the Company were successful, any resulting
loss of the right to use a trademark would not reduce sales of the Company's
products in addition to the possibility of a significant damages award.
Although, the Company intends to defend its proprietary rights, policing
unauthorized use of proprietary technology or products is difficult, and there
can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful. The laws of
certain foreign countries may not protect the proprietary rights of the Company
to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
The Company has received, and may receive in the future, communications
asserting that its products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties,
and the Company is engaged and has been engaged in litigation alleging that the
Company's products infringe others' patent rights. As a result of such claims
or litigation, it may become necessary or desirable in the future for the
Company to obtain licenses relating to one or more of its products or relating
to current or future technologies, and there can be no assurance that it would
be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms. See "Risk Factors --
Dependence on Proprietary Rights."
EMPLOYEES
As of August 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 132 full time
employees.
The Company's success will depend, in large measure, on its ability to
attract and retain highly qualified technical, marketing, engineering and
management personnel, who are in great demand. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence
on Key Personnel."
The Company's employees are not represented by any collective bargaining
agreements, and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage. The Company
believes that its employee relations are good.
PROPERTIES
The Company's primary facility is located in Sunnyvale, California and
consists of leased space of approximately 40,000 square feet. The Company
believes that its current facilities are adequate for its needs. The lease on
the primary facility will expire in March 1998.
The Company has subleased to other companies approximately 281,000 square
feet of facilities which the Company is currently not using.
The Company maintains field sales facilities in a number of locations
throughout the United States as well as in Surrey, England; Paris, France;
Hamburg, Germany; and Tokyo, Japan. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(a) On November 16, 1995, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. ("EFI") filed a
suit in the United States District Court in the Northern District of California
alleging that the Company infringes a patent allegedly owned by EFI. Although
the complaint does not specify which of the Company's products allegedly
infringe the patent, subsequent pleading indicates that EFI alleges that the
Company's Color Server products allegedly infringe. In January 1996, the
Company completed the divestiture of the Color Server Group.
The Company has filed an answer denying all material allegations, and has
filed counterclaims against EFI alleging causes of action for interference with
prospective economic benefit, antitrust violations, and unfair business
practices. EFI's motion to dismiss or sever the Company's amended counterclaims
was granted in part and the ruling permitted the Company to file an amended
counterclaim for antitrust violations. The Company has filed an amended
antitrust claim. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to EFI's
claims and is defending them vigorously. In addition, the Company believes it
may have indemnification rights with respect to EFI's claims. A motion for
summary judgment based on these indemnification rights disposing of EFI's claims
has been filed and is scheduled to be heard on September 25, 1996. In the
opinion of management, based on the facts known at this time, although the
eventual outcome of this case is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations or financial position of the Company, the costs of
defense, regardless of outcome, may have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations or financial position of the Company. In addition, in
connection with the divestiture of its Color Server business, the Company has
certain indemnification obligations for which approximately $2.3 million remains
held in escrow to secure such obligations in the event that the purchaser
suffers any losses resulting from such litigation.
(b) The Company was named as one of approximately 42 defendants in Shapiro
et al. v. ADI Systems, Inc. et al., Superior Court of California, Santa Clara
County, case no. CV751685, filed August 14, 1995. Radius was named as one of
approximately 32 defendants in Maizes & Maizes et al. v. Apple Computer et al.,
Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, case no. L-13780-95, filed December
15, 1995. Plaintiffs in each case purport to represent alleged classes of
similarly situated persons and/or the general public, and allege that the
defendants falsely advertise that the viewing areas of their computer monitors
are larger than in fact they are.
The Company was served with the Shapiro complaint on August 22, 1995 and
was served with the Maizes complaint on January 5, 1996. Defendants' petition
to the California State Judicial Council to coordinate the Shapiro case with
similar cases brought in other California jurisdictions was granted in part and
it is anticipated that the coordinated proceedings will be held in Superior
Court of California, San Francisco County. An amended consolidated complaint
was filed on March 26, 1996. Discovery proceedings are scheduled to begin. The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs' claims and is
defending them vigorously. In the opinion of management, based on the facts
known at this time, the eventual outcome of these cases may have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company
in the financial period in which they are resolved. In addition, whether or not
the eventual outcomes of these cases have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Company, the costs of
defense, regardless of outcome, may have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
(c) On April 17, 1996, the Company was served with a complaint filed by
Colorox Corporation ("Colorox"), in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon,
County of Multnomah, case no. 9604-02481, which alleges that the Company
breached an alleged oral contract to sell its dye sublimation printer business
to Colorox for $200,000, and seeks both specific performance of the alleged
contract and alleged damages of $2.5 million. The lawsuit also alleges that an
officer of the Company interfered with the alleged contract. The Company
believes it has meritorious defenses to the plaintiff's claims and intends to
defend them vigorously. Nevertheless, the costs of defense, regardless of
outcome, could have an adverse effect on the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company.
(d) The Company is involved in a number of other judicial and
administrative proceedings incidental to its business, including litigation by
alleged trade creditors who did not participate in the Plan. The Company
intends to defend such lawsuits vigorously and although adverse decisions (or
settlements) may occur in one or more of such cases, the final resolution of
these lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. However,
depending on the amount and timing of an unfavorable resolution of these
lawsuits, it is possible that the Company's future results of operations or cash
flows could be materially adversely affected in a particular period. In
addition, the costs of defense -- regardless of the outcome -- could have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of
the Company.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Directors are elected by the shareholders at each annual meeting of
shareholders to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders at which
such directors are to be elected or until their successors are duly elected and
qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. Officers are chosen
by, and serve at the discretion of, the Board of Directors.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
During fiscal 1995, the Board adopted a director compensation policy
pursuant to which all directors appointed to the Board on or after June 1995
will receive $1,500 for each Board meeting attended. This compensation policy
was implemented to facilitate the recruitment of additional directors. The
directors of the Company appointed prior to June 1995 do not currently receive
compensation for services on the Board or any committee thereof.
The 1994 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Directors Plan") was
adopted by the Company's Board on December 14, 1994 and approved by the
Company's shareholders on February 15, 1995. A total of 155,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the 1994 Directors
Plan (consisting of 100,000 shares allocated to the 1994 Directors Plan at the
time of its adoption by the Board plus 55,000 shares that were authorized for
issuance, but not issued or subject to outstanding options, under the Company's
1990 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Directors Plan") as of February
15, 1995). In addition, shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of outstanding stock options granted under the Prior Directors Plan
that expire or become unexercisable for any reason after February 15, 1995 will
be available for issuance under the 1994 Directors Plan. A total of 23,750

Directors Plan since February 15, 1995 as a result of the expiration of stock
options under the Prior Directors Plan.
The 1994 Directors Plan provides for the grant of 10,000 nonqualified stock
options ("NQSOs") to non-employee members of the Board upon appointment to the

STOCK OPTION GRANTS IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR
The following table sets forth further information regarding individual
grants of stock options pursuant to the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan during
fiscal 1995 to each of the Named Executive Officers. Messrs. Shaver, Harris and
Boake resigned from the Company on October 1, 1995, March 4, 1996 and April 30,
1996, respectively. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the table sets forth the hypothetical gains or "option spreads" that
would exist for the options at the end of their respective ten-year terms based
on assumed annualized rates of compound stock appreciation of 5% and 10% from
the dates the options were granted to the end of the respective option terms.
Actual gains, if any, on option exercises are dependent on the future
performance of the Company's Common Stock and overall market conditions. There
can be no assurance that the potential realizable values shown in this table
will be achieved.

- -------------------------------
(1) The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the
option at its time of grant, compounded annually. It is calculated by
assuming that the stock price on the date of grant appreciates at the
indicated annual rate, compounded annually for the entire term of the
option and that the option is exercised and sold on the last day of its
term for the appreciated stock price. Actual gains, if any, on option
exercises are dependent on future performance of the Company's Common
Stock and overall market conditions. There can be no assurance that the
potential realizable values shown in this table will be achieved.
(2) These stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the
closing fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of
grant. These options become exercisable at the rate of 2% of the total
shares per month over a period of 50 months. These options lapse within
30 days after the termination of an employment or consultancy
relationship with the Company.
(3) This stock option was granted with an exercise price equal to the closing
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant.
This option becomes exercisable at the rate of 4% of the total shares per
month over a period of 25 months. The option will lapse within 30 days
after the termination of an employment or consultancy relationship with
the Company.
(4) These stock options were repriced as of December 13, 1995 to $2.375 per
share, which equaled the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock
on that date, provided that the officer accept a six month prohibition on
exercising any such options.

EMPLOYMENT AND SERVICE AGREEMENTS
CHARLES W. BERGER
The Company and Mr. Berger entered into an employment agreement dated
February 26, 1993, as amended on September 17, 1993, that provides for his at
will employment until such time as either the Company or Mr. Berger terminates
the employment agreement with or without cause. Under the employment agreement,
the Company paid Mr. Berger a sign-on bonus of $25,000 and an initial base
salary of $225,000. The employment agreement established an annual performance
bonus of up to $50,000 in fiscal 1993 and up to $100,000 in fiscal 1994, unless
otherwise increased by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The employment
agreement also required the Company to grant Mr. Berger stock options for
250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at fair market value on the date of
grant and to loan him $100,000. See "Certain Transactions."
In the event of an acquisition following which Mr. Berger is not offered
the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the surviving company
(i) the vesting of a portion of his option shares will accelerate, (ii) all
remaining principal and interest under his loan will be forgiven, and (iii) Mr.
Berger will, subject to certain conditions, continue to receive his salary and
benefits during a twelve month transition period. For purposes of the
employment agreement, an "acquisition" is defined as the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, the merger or consolidation of
the Company with or into another corporation, or the acquisition of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Company by a single person
or a group of related persons.
If Mr. Berger's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason
other than cause or following an acquisition, Mr. Berger will continue to
receive his salary, and vest under his stock options for six months.
KEITH HARRIS
The Company and Mr. Harris entered into an employment agreement dated
April 12, 1990, which was subsequently assigned to Radius UK Limited, the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. The employment
agreement provides for Mr. Harris' at will employment until such time as either
the Company or Mr. Harris terminates the employment agreement with or without
cause. If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company without cause,
the Company must provide Mr. Harris with either one year's prior written notice
or pay Mr. Harris his base salary for one year in lieu of notice. Mr. Harris
resigned from the Company on March 4, 1996.
J. DANIEL SHAVER
The Company and Mr. Shaver entered into a Settlement Agreement and
General Release on September 28, 1995, in connection with Mr. Shaver's
resignation from his position as Vice President, Sales and Marketing in October
1995. Pursuant to that agreement, on February 1, 1996 the Company forgave a
$150,000 loan previously extended to Mr. Shaver, together with all of the
interest accrued thereon.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The provisions of Section 317 of the California Corporations Code,
Article V of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the
Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted
by law for expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of
the fact that any person is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Registrant. This indemnification may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. In addition, Article IV of the Registrant's
Articles of Incorporation provides that the liability of the Registrant's
directors shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under the
California Law.
The Company has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its
current directors to give such directors additional contractual assurances
regarding the scope of the indemnification and liability limitations set forth
in the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
The Company currently carries a director and officer liability insurance
policy with a per claim and annual aggregate coverage limit of $10 million.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In September 1993, the Company loaned $100,000 to Charles W. Berger, the
Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, as required under the terms of
his Employment Agreement. The loan has a three-year term and accrues simple
interest at the rate of 3.9% per annum. The loan is secured by shares of Common
Stock subject to Mr. Berger's stock option, and fifty percent (50%) of the
proceeds from the sale of any such shares is payable to the Company until such
time as the loan is paid in full. One third of the principal amount, together
with all accrued interest, was forgiven by the Company on each anniversary of
the date that Mr. Berger commenced employment with the Company, which was March
22, 1993. As of June 30, 1996, no amounts remained outstanding under the loan.
In April 1993, SuperMac Technology, Inc. ("SuperMac") loaned $300,064 to
Michael A. McConnell in connection with the payment of Mr. McConnell's
alternative minimum tax resulting from his exercise of a stock option in 1992.
Mr. McConnell resigned from the position of director at the February 1996
shareholders meeting. The Company assumed the loan in connection with the
merger with SuperMac in August 1994. The loan is due on or before April 30,
2003 and is repayable in amounts equal to the tax saving resulting from the
minimum tax credit allowable under Section 53 of the Code (or the adjustment
provided in Section 56 thereunder). The loan bears interest at the rate of
3.75% per annum. As of June 30, 1996, approximately $152,064 of the principal
amount of the loan remained outstanding.
In April 1994, the Company loaned a total of $150,000 to J. Daniel Shaver
to purchase a home in the Bay Area. Mr. Shaver served as the Company's Vice
President of Sales and Marketing from May 1993 to October 1995. The loan has a
five year term and bears simple interest at the rate of 5.88% per annum. On
February 1, 1996, the Company forgave all of the $150,000 principal amount,
together with all of the interest accrued thereon.
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with certain officers
and directors which provide, among other things, that the Company will indemnify
such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for
therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements the officer or
director may be required to pay in actions or proceedings which the officer or
director is or may be made a party by reason of the officer's or director's
position with the Company, and otherwise to the full extent permitted under
California law and the Company's By-laws.
Three shareholders of the Company, SCI Technology, Inc. ("SCI"),
Mitsubishi Electronics America Corp. ("Mitsubishi") and Hamilton
Hallmark/Avnet Co. ("HH/Avnet"), have been significant suppliers of the
Company. SCI provides graphics cards; Mitsubishi supplies monitors; and
HH/Avnet supplied components for the Company's systems business (which was
sold to UMAX in February 1996). The Company's purchases from SCI for the
current fiscal year and the 1995 fiscal year were approximately $35.0 million
in aggregate (SCI began doing business with the Company in fiscal 1995).
Purchases from Mitsubishi for the current fiscal year are expected to be
approximately $25.0 million, purchases for the 1995 and 1994 fiscal years
were significantly higher, at approximately $30.0 million and $10.0 million,
respectively. The Company no longer does business with HH/Avnet, although
purchases from HH/Avnet for the current fiscal year were approximately $6.5
million (the Company began doing business with HH/Avnet during the current
fiscal year.)
Each of SCI, Mitsubishi and HH/Avnet beneficially own 9,719,200,
3,999,901 and 3,188,966 shares of Common Stock respectively and 2,958,017,
1,217,361 and 970,555 Rights, respectively. All of the foregoing securities
were acquired pursuant to the Plan, pursuant to which SCI, Mitsubishi and
HH/Avnet accepted such securities in satisfaction claims of approximately $12.8
million, $5.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
Mitsubishi was granted a security interest of up to $4.4 million in the
technology and intellectual property utilized in the Company's PressView
products in order to secure the Company's payment obligations with respect to
the manufacturing of the Company's PressView products.
IBM Credit has been the Company's primary secured lender since February
1995. For the current fiscal year and the 1995 fiscal year, interest
payments to IBM Credit were approximately $1.4 million and $2.9 million
respectively.
As described under "Recent Developments--Debt for Equity Exchange" the
Company issued 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
Warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of $3.0
million of indebtedness to IBM Credit, as well as in consideration of
restructuring the terms of the Company's remaining $23.4 million indebtedness to
IBM Credit. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a description of
the terms of the restructured IBM Credit loan.

The Company believes that all of the transactions set forth above were
made on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained
from unaffiliated third parties. All future transactions between the Company
and its officers, directors and principal shareholders and their affiliates will
be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the
independent and disinterested directors of the Board of Directors, and will be
on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties.

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
The following table sets forth certain information known to the Company
with respect to beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock as of
September 13, 1996 for (i) each shareholder who is known by the Company to be
the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock; (ii) the
Chief Executive Officer and each of the Named Executive Officers; (iii) each of
the Company's directors, (iv) all current directors and executive officers of
the Company as a group and (v) the Selling Securityholders. This table assumes
that the Selling Securityholders will sell all of the Company's securities held
by them. The Company is unable to determine the exact number of shares that
will actually be sold. Assignees of Selling Securityholder, if any, who acquire
shares of Common Stock of the Company from the Selling Securityholder and
satisfy certain conditions are entitled to the same registration rights as the
Selling Securityholder. If any such assignee wishes to sell shares hereunder,
this Prospectus will be amended or supplemented to name such assignee as a
Selling Securityholder. Except as otherwise described below, all Selling
Securityholders were creditors of the Company to whom the Company had
outstanding accounts payable, and such creditors agreed to receive Common Stock
and Rights in satisfaction of their claims, and the Selling Securityholders have
not had any other position, office or other material relationship with the
Company within the past three years. Unless otherwise noted, all Selling
Securityholders and offering shares of Common Stock.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000
shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of September
13, 1996, there were outstanding approximately 54,441,297 shares of Common Stock
held of record by approximately 4,500 shareholders, 750,000 shares of Preferred
Stock outstanding, all of which are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock and held of record by IBM Credit, and options to purchase approximately
1,258,689 shares of Common Stock.
COMMON STOCK
Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock
held on all matters. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or other
rights to subscribe for additional shares. All outstanding shares of Common
Stock are, and those offered hereby will be, validly issued, fully paid and non
assessable. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to holders of any
Preferred Stock then outstanding, holders of Common Stock are entitled to such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
the assets legally available for distribution to shareholders are distributable
ratably among the holders of the Common Stock at that time outstanding, subject
to prior distribution rights of creditors of the Company and to the preferential
rights of any shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding.
49
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations
prescribed by California law, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred
Stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares
to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and
privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number of
shares of any such series (but not below the number of shares of such series
then outstanding), without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The
Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock with voting or
conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights
of the holders of Common Stock. Thus, the issuance of Preferred Stock may have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company. The Company has no Preferred Stock other than the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and has no current plan to issue any additional shares of
Preferred Stock.
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The dividend, liquidation and certain redemption features of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, each of which is discussed in greater detail below,
are determined by reference to the Liquidation Price of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, which is defined in the aggregate as $3.0 million plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends.
Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accrue cumulatively
at a rate of 10% per annum of the Liquidation Price and are payable on a
quarterly basis in cash or in shares of Common Stock, at the Company's
discretion. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to any other
Preferred Stock and the Common Stock with respect to the declaration and payment
of dividends.
Upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, holders of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from the
assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders an amount in
cash or property or a combination thereof per share equal to the Liquidation
Price. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common
Stock and any other Preferred Stock which may subsequently be issued with
respect to the receipt of liquidation proceeds.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Liquidation
Price the option of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock upon the sale by the Company of any part of the
Company's interest in Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. or its other portfolio
interests, upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary events such as the sale
or disposition of some or all of the Company's operating assets or businesses,
the sale of the Company's inventory outside of the ordinary course of business,
or the merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity (such events
are referred to as "Triggering Events") which Triggering Event (or combination
of Triggering Events for the prior 12 months) yields available net proceeds to
the Company of $100,000 (only to the extent of the available net proceeds from
such Triggering Event and subject to legal availability of funds therefor).
Available net proceeds are defined as the net proceeds to the Company from a
Triggering Event after any required payments to holders of the Company's
indebtedness. If the holders have not elected to have their shares redeemed
within 10 days after sending of the notice of the Triggering Event (the
"Election Period"). In the event that such holders do not elect such redemption
within the Election Period, Radius can redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock (to the extent of the available net proceeds to the Company resulting from
such Triggering Event and subject to the legal availability of funds therefor)
at a redemption price equal to 110% of the Liquidation Price by notifying the
holders of its intention to so redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
within 30 days after the expiration of the Election Period (the "Second
Notice"). The holders may then elect, within fifteen days of receiving the
Second Notice, to convert into Common Stock. The number of shares subject to
such conversion shall be equal to the amount of the available net proceeds to
the Company from such Triggering Event divided by the Liquidation Price.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will vote on all matters
submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders together as a single class
with all other classes of the Company's capital stock with each share of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock having the number of votes which would be cast if
such shares were converted at the option of the holders into Common Stock on the
day prior to the date of the vote except as otherwise required by applicable
law.
Except as described below, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will
be subject to conversion from time to time, in whole or in part, at the option
of the holder, into an aggregate of 5,523,030 shares of Common Stock with each
share being convertible into 7.364 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment
in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination or reclassification
of the Common Stock.
50
A portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is automatically
subject to conversion at any time 90 days after the effective date of the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part (and if such
Registration Statement is in effect or the use of this Prospectus has not been
suspended) in the event that the trading price of the Company's Common Stock
exceeds, for a period of 15 consecutive trading days, a price per share equal to
$0.815 and a registration statement with respect to the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of such securities is in effect. Upon such an event, 93,750
shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible into an
aggregate of 759,413 shares of Common Stock (or 8.1004 shares of Common Stock
for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock). No more than 93,750
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be so converted in any fiscal
quarter. The trading price of the Common Stock must then exceed $0.815 per
share in a subsequent quarter before the Series A Convertible Preferred can be
again subject to such a conversion.
RIGHTS
The Company issued Rights to receive an aggregate of 11,046,060 shares of
Common Stock to unsecured creditors who received shares of Common Stock in
satisfaction of their claims, (including 240,824 Rights to the Radius Creditors
Trust). Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of Common
Stock if and when all of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is
converted into Common Stock. The Rights are not transferable.
The Rights contain standard antidilution provisions in the event of a
stock dividend, stock split, combination or reclassification of the Common
Stock.
WARRANTS
The Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of
Common Stock to IBM Credit.
The Warrants are exercisable at any time, for a four-year period at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share, and may also be exercised on a "net exercise"
or "cashless" basis or in settlement of debt.
The Warrants contain standard antidilution provisions in the event of a
stock dividend, stock split, combination or reclassification of the Common
Stock.
The Company and IBM Credit have agreed, at the Company's option, to
either reduce the exercise price of the Warrants to $0.80 per share or issue to
IBM Credit additional Warrants to purchase a numhber of shares equal to 600,000
less the number of any Warrants which may be issued to key suppliers of the
Company in the event that the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
forms a part is not declared effective by March 31, 1997.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Upon the expiration of this offering, holders of shares of Common Stock
and Rights issued to its unsecured creditors as well as the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants will have demand registration rights
with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by them and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock or upon exercise of the Rights and Warrants. IBM Credit will also have
demand registration rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock which
are paid in lieu of cash dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. These registration rights will permit such holders to cause the
Company to register such shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable after
the Closing. The Company will maintain the effectiveness of any such
registration statement until such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 in
a three-month period without registration or until it is eligible to file a
registration statement on Form S-3, at which time the original registration
statement will be terminated and the Company will file a registration
statement on Form S-3 as soon thereafter as practicable in order to minimize
any period of non-effectiveness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the
occurrence of certain events, the Company will be entitled to suspend the use
of the Registration Statement. All expenses incurred in connection with such
registrations (other than underwriters' discounts and commissions) will be
borne by the Company. See "Risk Factors -- Shares Eligible For Future Sale."
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Company's Common Stock is
First Interstate Bank.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
SHARES TO BE OFFERED BY THE COMPANY
The Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part includes
shares of Common Stock with a fair market value of up to $600,000 in the event
that the Company elects to make its first eight quarterly dividend payments on
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of Common Stock in lieu of
cash.
The Company has not entered into, and does not intend to enter into, any
agreement, arrangement or understanding with any underwriter or any broker or
market maker with respect to the securities offered by the Company hereby.
IBM Credit received 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock in connection with the Plan. Because dividends on the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock may be paid in cash or in shares of the Company's
Common Stock, the Company may elect to pay such dividends in shares of Common
Stock with a fair market value of $75,000 on each of the first eight quarterly
dividend payment dates for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The
Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock in
lieu of such cash dividends. See "Recent Developments -- Debt for Equity
Exchange," "Use of Proceeds" and "Description of Capital Stock."
SECURITIES TO BE OFFERED BY THE SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
In connection with the Plan, the Company and the Selling
Securityholders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the
"Agreement") with the Company. The Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part has also been filed pursuant to the Agreement.
To the Company's knowledge, the Selling Securityholders have not entered
into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any underwriter or any
particular broker or market maker with respect to the shares offered hereby, nor
does the Company know the identity of the brokers or market makers which will
participate in the offering.
The shares of Common Stock to be offered by the Selling Securityholders
hereby may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling
Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of the
Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of
each sale. Such sales may be made over the SmallCap Market or otherwise, at
prices and on terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then market
price, or in negotiated transactions. The shares may be sold by one or more
of the following: (a) a block trade in which the broker-dealer engaged by
the Selling Securityholder will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; (b) purchases by the broker-dealer as principal and resale by
such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; and (c)
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers. The Company has been advised by the Selling Securityholder that
it has not, as of the date hereof, entered into any arrangement with a
broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering,
or secondary distribution of a purchase by a broker-dealer. In effecting
sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholder may arrange for
other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers will receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Securityholder in amounts to be negotiated
immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the shares, the Selling Securityholders and any
broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with such sales, and any profits realized by the Selling
Securityholders and the compensation of such broker-dealer may be deemed to
be underwriting discounts and commissions.
The Selling Securityholders have advised the Company that, during such
time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares of Common Stock
included herein, they will comply with Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7 under the Exchange
Act and, in connection therewith, the Selling Shareholders have agreed not to
engage in any stabilization activity in connection with any securities of the
Company, to furnish copies of this Prospectus to each broker-dealer through
which the shares of Common Stock included herein may be offered, and not to bid
for or purchase any securities of the Company or attempt to induce any person to
purchase any securities of the Company except as permitted under the Exchange
Act. The Selling Securityholders have also agreed to inform the Company and
broker-dealers through whom sales may be made hereunder when the distribution of
the shares is completed.
52
Rule 10b-6 under the Exchange Act prohibits participants in a
distribution from bidding for or purchasing for an account in which the
participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the
subject of the distribution. Rule 10b-7 under the Exchange Act governs bids and
purchases made to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a
distribution of the security.
The Agreement provides that the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part will remain in effect for 24 months. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company may suspend
the use of this Prospectus.
Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, this Prospectus will
be amended to include additional disclosure before offers and sales of the
securities in question are made: (a) to the extent the securities are sold at a
fixed price or at a price other than the prevailing market price, such price
would be set forth in the Prospectus, (b) if the securities are sold in block
transactions and the purchaser acting in the capacity of an underwriter wishes
to resell, such arrangements would be described in the Prospectus, (c) if the
Selling Securityholder sells to a broker-dealer acting in the capacity as an
underwriter, such broker-dealer will be identified in the Prospectus and (d) if
the compensation paid to broker-dealers is other than usual and customary
discounts, concessions or commissions, disclosure of the terms of the
transaction would be included in the Prospectus.
The Company will bear estimated expenses of approximately $250,000 in
connection with the offering of the securities offered hereby.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, Common Stock and the Warrants offered hereby will be passed
upon for the Company by Fenwick & West LLP, Two Palo Alto Square, Palo Alto,
California 94306.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
RADIUS INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Radius Inc. as
of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity (net capital deficiency) and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at page F-1.
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Radius
Inc. at September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Radius Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in
Note 1, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses, and has a
deficiency in assets and working capital. In addition the Company has not
complied with certain covenants of loan agreements with its lenders. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. (Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 1.) The financial statements do not include any adjustment to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in 1993 the
Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE ONE. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radius
Inc. ("Radius") and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of
significant intercompany transactions and balances.
Radius and SuperMac Technologies, Inc. ("SuperMac") merged into the
combined company (the "Company") effective August 31, 1994 (the
"Merger"), which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
consolidated financial statements for fiscal 1993 have not been
restated to adjust SuperMac's fiscal year end to that of Radius. This
period includes Radius' results of operations and balance sheet data
on a September 30 fiscal year basis and SuperMac's on a December 31
calendar year basis.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the level
of allowance for potentially uncollectible receivables and sales
returns; inventory reserves for obsolete, slow-moving, or non-salable
inventory; and estimated cost for installation, warranty and other
customer support obligations. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
MANAGEMENT'S BUSINESS RECOVERY PLANS
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
Company has incurred recurring operating losses, and has a deficiency
in assets and working capital. In addition, as of September 30, 1995,
the Company was not in compliance with all of its contractual
obligations and financial covenants under its credit agreements. The
Company also is delinquent in its accounts payables as payments to
vendors are not being made in accordance with vendor terms.
The Company's relatively limited cash resources have restricted the
Company's ability to purchase inventory which in turn has limited its
ability to manufacture and sell products and has resulted in
additional costs for expedited deliveries. The adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations due to its limited cash resources can
be expected to continue until such time as the Company is able to
return to profitability, or generate additional cash from other
sources.
These conditions raise concerns about the Company's ability to
continue operations as an ongoing concern. Management has implemented,
or has developed plans to implement, a number of actions to address
these conditions including: refocusing its efforts on providing
solutions for high end digital video and graphics customers;
discontinuing sales of mass market and other low value added products;
divesting its color server and monochrome display businesses and
exploring opportunities for the divestiture of its MacOS compatible
systems products and other product lines; significantly reducing
expenses and headcount; subleasing all or a portion of its current
facility given its reduced occupancy requirements; and investigating
various strategic partnering opportunities.
Additional funds will be needed to finance the Company's development
plans and for other purposes, and the Company is now investigating
possible financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that
additional financing will be available when needed or, if available,
that the terms of such financing will not adversely affect the
Company's results of operations.
F-7
FISCAL YEAR
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30
and includes 53 weeks in fiscal 1993 and 52 weeks in all other fiscal
years presented. During fiscal 1995, the Company changed its fiscal
year end from the Sunday closest to September 30 to the Saturday
closest to September 30 for operational efficiency purposes. For
clarity of presentation, all fiscal periods in this Form 10-K are
reported as ending on a calendar month end.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its foreign
subsidiaries into dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the
end of the period and translates revenues and expenses using rates in
effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations
are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Foreign currency transaction gains or losses, which are included in
the results of operations, are not material.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company
reviews the levels of its inventory in light of current and forecasted
demand to identify and provide reserve for obsolete, slow-moving, or
non-salable inventory. Cost is determined using standard costs that
approximate cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist
of the following (in thousands):
September 30 1995 1994
---------- ---------
Raw materials $ 1,559 $ 4,515
Work in process 2,258 6,852

Depreciation has been provided for using the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives of three to five years. Equipment under
capital leases and leasehold improvements are being amortized on the
straight-line method over six years or the remaining lease term,
whichever is shorter.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121),
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS 121 requires recognition of impairment
of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets
exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such
assets. SFAS 121 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. Adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
F-8
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. Sales to certain
resellers are subject to agreements allowing certain rights of return
and price protection on unsold merchandise held by these resellers.
The Company provides for estimated returns at the time of shipment and
for price protection following price declines.
WARRANTY EXPENSE
The Company provides at the time of sale for the estimated cost to
repair or replace products under warranty. The warranty period
commences on the end user date of purchase and is normally one year
for displays and digital video products and for the life of the
product for graphics cards.
INCOME TAXES
Effective October 1, 1992, the Company adopted FASB Statement 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under Statement 109, the liability
method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Prior
to the adoption of Statement 109, income tax expense was determined
using the liability method prescribed by Statement 96, which is
superseded by Statement 109. Among other changes, Statement 109
changes the recognition and measurement criteria for deferred tax
assets included in Statement 96.
As permitted by Statement 109, the Company has elected not to restate
the financial statements of any prior years. The cumulative effect of
the change in method of accounting for income taxes decreased the net
loss by $600,000 or $0.05 per share in fiscal 1993 on a combined
basis.
LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
from date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents;
investments with maturities between three and twelve months are
considered to be short-term investments. Cash equivalents are carried
at cost which approximates market. There were no short-term
investments as of September 30, 1995 or 1994. Approximately $1.6
million of the $4.8 million of cash and cash equivalents available at
September 30, 1995 was restricted under various letters of credit.
OFF BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company sells its products to direct computer resellers in the
United States and to distributors in various foreign countries. The
Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and
generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves
for potential credit losses.
The Company also hedges substantially all of its trade accounts
receivable denominated in foreign currency through the use of foreign
currency forward exchange contracts based on firm third party
commitments. Gains and losses associated with currency rate changes
on forward contracts are recognized in the consolidated statements of
operations upon contract settlement and were not material. At
September 30, 1995, the Company had forward contracts to sell three
different foreign currencies which totaled the equivalent of
approximately $11.1 million and mature between October 1995 and
November 1995. At September 30, 1995, the fair value of the Company's
forward contracts approximated cost.
F-9
RELATED PARTIES
In fiscal 1994, the Company acquired shares of preferred stock of
Portrait Display Labs ("PDL") and a warrant to purchase additional
shares of PDL preferred stock in exchange for the cancellation of
certain rights held by the Company to purchase all of the outstanding
equity securities or assets of the predecessor entity to PDL. The
warrant permitted the purchase of approximately an additional 10%
interest in PDL. The Company also was granted one seat on PDL's Board
of Directors. In addition, the Company licensed PDL certain pivot
display technology in exchange for the payment of royalties. Product
revenues were approximately $5.0 million in fiscal 1994. In fiscal
1995, the Company exercised the warrant for an additional 10% interest
in PDL in exchange for cancellation of approximately $945,000 in
accounts receivable. There were no product revenues for the fiscal
1995 to this related party. The receivable from PDL at September 30,
1995 was approximately $980,000. Subsequent to September 30, 1995,
the Company signed a series of additional agreements with Portrait
Display Labs, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
There were no material transactions from this or any other related
party during fiscal 1993.
NOTE TWO. BORROWINGS
LINE OF CREDIT ARRANGEMENT
In February 1995, the Company and IBM Credit Corp. ("IBM Credit")
entered into a $30.0 million Inventory and Working Capital Financing
Agreement (the "IBM Credit Agreement"). The IBM Credit Agreement
permits advances for inventory and working capital up to the lesser of
$30.0 million or 85% of eligible receivables ("Inventory and Working
Capital Advances"). In September 1995, IBM Credit advanced an
additional $20.0 million under the IBM Credit Agreement to finance the
manufacturing of the Company's MacOS compatible products (the "MacOS
Advances"). The weighted average interest rate during 1995 was
approximately 12.6%. Advances bear interest at rates ranging from
prime rate plus 2.25% to prime rate plus 4% and are secured by all the
assets of the Company. The IBM Credit Agreement expires in March 1996.
As of September 30, 1995, $50.8 million was outstanding under the IBM
Credit Agreement consisting of $30.8 million in Inventory and Working
Capital Advances and approximately $20.0 million in MacOS Advances.
The outstanding Inventory and Working Capital Advances included $18.7
million in working capital advances supported by eligible receivables,
$6.1 million in working capital advances in excess of the borrowing
base, and $6.1 million in inventory advances. The $24.7 million in
working capital advances are included in Short-term borrowings in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The $6.1 million in inventory
advances, together with the approximately $20.0 million in MacOS
Advances, are included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
As of September 30, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with all
of its contractual obligations and financial covenants under the IBM
Credit Agreement (specifically, revenues to working capital ratio, net
profit to revenue, and total liabilities to total net worth); however,
IBM Credit has waived such defaults pursuant to an amendment to the
IBM Credit Agreement. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In addition, the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement on
March 20, 1995 with Silicon Valley Bank. The agreement, which expires
on March 19, 1996, allows the Company to issue letters of credit as a
sub-facility under a $5.0 million foreign accounts receivable
revolving line of credit subject to an interest rate of up to the
prime rate plus 1.25%. The weighted average interest rate during 1995
was approximately 13.0%. The related debt outstanding as of September
30, 1995 was $1.7 million and outstanding letters of credit were $0.8
million. The Company was not in compliance with all the terms of this
credit arrangement.
One of the Company's subsidiaries has a revolving line of credit with
a bank in Japan. Borrowings were approximately $3.1 million at
September 30, 1995. This note bears interest at the lesser of the
Euro-yen rate or the bank's prime lending rate (1.5 percent at
September 30, 1995, the prime rate). The weighted average interest
rate during 1995 was approximately 4.9% The line of credit is renewed
every six months with the next renewal in December 1995.

fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 exclude a provision for remaining lease
obligations on excess facilities. See Note 8 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sublease income for fiscal 1995 and 1994 was approximately $0.6
million and $0.1 million. There was no sublease income for fiscal
1993.
CONTINGENCIES
DISPLAY SCREEN SIZE
The Company was named as one of approximately 42 defendants in Shapiro
et al. v. ADI Systems, Inc. et al., Superior Court of California,
Santa Clara County, case no. CV751685, filed August 14, 1995. Radius
was named as one of approximately 32 defendants in Maizes & Maizes et
al. v. Apple Computer et al., Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex
County, case no. L-13780-95, filed December 15, 1995. Plaintiffs in
each case purport to represent alleged classes of similarly situated
persons and/or the general public, and allege that the defendants
falsely advertise that the viewing areas of their computer monitors
are larger than in fact they are.
The Company was served with the Shapiro complaint on August 22, 1995,
and has not yet been served with the Maizes complaint. Defendants'
petition to the California State Judicial Council to coordinate the
Shapiro case with similar cases brought in other California
jurisdictions was granted in part and it is anticipated that the
coordinated proceedings will be held in Superior Court of California,
San Francisco County. Discovery proceedings have not yet begun in
either case. In the opinion of management, based on the facts known
at this
F-11
time, the eventual outcome of these cases is unlikely to have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.
ELECTRONICS FOR IMAGING
On November 16, 1995, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. ("EFI") filed a
suit in the United States District Court in the Northern District of
California alleging that the Company infringes a patent allegedly
owned by EFI. Although the complaint does not specify which Radius
products allegedly infringe the patent, EFI is a prime competitor of
Radius in the Color Server market. Radius' Color Server products are
material to its business.
The Company has filed an answer denying all material allegations, and
has filed counterclaims against EFI alleging causes of action for
interference with prospective economic benefit, antitrust violations,
and unfair business practices. The Company believes it has
meritorious defenses to EFI's claims and is defending them vigorously.
In addition, the Company believes it may have indemnification rights
with respect to EFI's claims. In the opinion of management, based on
the facts known at this time, the eventual outcome of this case is
unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.
SECURITIES LITIGATION.
In September 1992, the Company and certain of its officers and
directors were named as defendants in a securities class action
litigation brought in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California that sought unspecified damages,
prejudgment and postjudgment interest, attorneys' fees, expert witness
fees and costs, and equitable relief. In July 1994, SuperMac and
certain of its officers and directors, several venture capital firms
and several of the underwriters of SuperMac's May 1992 initial public
offering and its February 1993 secondary offering were named as
defendants in a class action litigation brought in the same court that
sought unspecified damages, prejudgment and postjudgment interest,
attorneys' fees, experts' fees and costs, and equitable relief
(including the imposition of a constructive trust on the proceeds of
defendants' trading activities).
In June 1995, the Court approved the settlement of both litigations
and entered a Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal. Under the
settlement of the litigation brought in 1992 against the Company, our
insurance carrier paid $3.7 million in cash and the Company will issue
128,695 shares of its Common Stock to a class action settlement fund.
In the settlement of the litigation brought in 1994 against SuperMac,
the Company paid $250,000 in cash and will issue into a class action
settlement fund 707,609 shares of its Common Stock. The number of
shares to be issued by the Company will increase by up to 100,000 if
the price of the Common Stock is below $12 per share during the 60-day
period following the initial issuance of shares. In connection with
these settlements, the Company recorded a charge of $12.4 million in
the Consolidated Financial Statements reflecting settlement costs not
covered by insurance as well as related legal fees.
The Company has periodically received communications from third
parties asserting infringement of patent rights on certain of the
Company's products and features. Management does not believe any
claims made will have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.
NOTE FOUR. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
COMMON STOCK
In June 1995, the Company sold approximately 2.5 million shares of its
Common Stock in a series of private placements to a small number of
investors unaffiliated with the Company. Proceeds from the offering,
net of commission and other related expenses were $21.4 million. The
net proceeds were used for working capital.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan, as amended, authorizes the
issuance of up to 2,975,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise
of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options that may be
granted to officers, employees (including directors who are also
employees), consultants and independent contractors. Under the plan,
options are exercisable for a term of up to ten years after issuance.
Options may be granted at prices ranging from 50% to 100% of the fair
market value of the stock on the date of grant, as determined by the
F-12
Board of Directors. Vesting of shares is also determined by the Board of
Directors at the date of grant. The 1986 Stock Option Plan will expire
in October 1996.
On August 31, 1994, pursuant to the Merger, Radius assumed 975,239
outstanding options originally issued under the SuperMac 1988 Stock
Option Plan. These options will be administered in accordance with
the SuperMac 1988 Stock Option Plan until all options are exercised or
expired. Under the plan, options are exercisable for a term of up to
ten years after issuance.
The following table summarizes the consolidated activity of the 1986
and 1988 Stock Option Plans and the 1992 Non-Employee Directors' Stock
Option Plan:

The stock option activity as shown in the table for fiscal 1993 has not been
restated to adjust SuperMac's fiscal year end to that of Radius. Fiscal 1993
includes Radius' activity on a September 30 fiscal year basis and SuperMac's
activity on a December 31 calendar year basis. The fiscal 1994 period includes
the Radius activity for fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 and SuperMac
activity for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
The Company has also reserved 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance to
non-employee directors pursuant to options granted under the 1994 Directors'
Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"). Such options may only be nonqualified
stock options, must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant, and
must be granted in accordance with a non-discretionary formula. Under this
formula, each new director receives an option to purchase 10,000 shares when
that director is first appointed to the Board and an option to purchase 2,500
shares on each anniversary of such director's appointment. As of September 30,
1995, 27,500 shares had been granted under this plan at exercise prices ranging
from $7.44 to $12.00 per share. Options to purchase 1,250 shares were canceled
following the resignation of a director. None of the options granted under the
1994 Plan are exercisable.
Prior to the approval of the 1994 Plan, the 1990 Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "Prior Plan") was in effect. As of September 30, 1995, the Prior Plan had
33,750 options outstanding at prices ranging from $8.00 to $17.25. Such options
are nonqualified stock options, must be exercised within five years from the
date of grant, and were granted in accordance with a non-discretionary formula.
Options unissued under the Prior Plan become available for grant under the 1994
Plan. As of September 30, 1995, options to purchase 37,500 shares became
available upon the resignation of three directors. In addition, 28,750 options
to purchase shares, which were never granted under the Prior Plan were
transferred to the 1994 Plan.
In March 1993, the Company granted a nonqualified stock option to one officer to
purchase a total of 250,000 shares of common stock outside the Company's 1986
Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $7.75 per share. This option is
exercisable for a term of ten years and vests over a fifty month period
commencing on the date of grant. During fiscal 1994, 150 of these shares were
exercised by the officer, and as of September 30, 1995 an additional 149,850
shares were exercisable.
F-13
In June 1995, the Company repriced approximately 232,000 of then outstanding
options to an exercise price of $12.00 per share, the fair market value of the
Company's stock on the date of the repricing.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan under which substantially all
employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal
to 85% of its fair market value as of certain specified dates. Stock purchases
under this plan are limited to 10% of an employee's compensation, and in no
event may exceed $21,250 per year. Under this plan a total of 650,000 shares of
common stock have been reserved for issuance to employees. At September 30,
1995, 255,859 shares remain available for issuance under the plan.
EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS
The Company account for its stock option plans and the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan in accordance with provisions of the accounting Principles Board's Opinion
No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." In 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board released the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation." SFAS 123 provides an alternative to APB 25 and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company expects to continue
to account for its employee stock plans in accordance with the provision of APB
25. Accordingly, SFAS 123 is not expected to have any material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components
of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

FASB Statement 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if
realization of such assets is more likely than not. The Company's valuation
allowance reduced the deferred tax asset to the amount realizable. The Company
has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due
to uncertainties surrounding their realization. Due to the net losses reported
in the prior three years and as a result of the material changes in operations
reported in its 1995 fiscal fourth quarter, predictability of earnings in future
periods is uncertain. The Company will evaluate the realizability of the
deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to income before taxes. The sources and tax
effects of the differences are as follows:

As of September 30, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $71.0 million and $27.9
million, respectively. The state loss carryforwards will expire as follows;
$8.0 million in 1998, $5.0 million in 1999; and $14.9 million in 2000, if not
utilized, and the federal loss carryforwards will expire primarily in 2009 and
2010, if not utilized. In addition, the Company had tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $6.3 million which will expire in 2005, if not utilized.
Utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to
substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided
by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual
limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before
utilization.

NOTE SEVEN. EXPORT SALES AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company currently operates in one principal industry segment: the design,
manufacturing and marketing of color publishing and digital video computer
products. The Company's export sales were approximately $124.5 million, $112.0
million and $108.1 million in the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively, and included export sales to Europe of approximately
$57.3 million, $60.6 million, and $59.5 million, respectively. Export sales to
Japan were approximately $57.2 million, $35.7 million and $33.0 million for
fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
One customer accounted for approximately 34.0%, 13.5% and 11.5% of the Company's
net sales during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
NOTE EIGHT. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
RADIUS JUNE 1993 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In June 1993, Radius announced a restructuring program designed to reduce costs
and improve operating efficiencies. The program included, among other things,
the write-down of inventory following Radius' decision to phase out its older
generation of products, lease termination expenses, capital equipment write-
offs, severance payments, and costs associated with the discontinuation of
Radius' minicomputer-class server product. The restructuring program costs of
$15.5 million were recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 1993. These
charges (in thousands) are included in: cost of sales ($10,993); research and
development ($411); and selling, general and administrative expenses ($4,096).
The Company completed this restructuring event by the end of calendar 1994.
There were no material changes in the restructuring plan or in the estimates of
the restructuring costs from the recognition of the charge in June 1993 with the
completion of the restructuring program in December 1994.
F-17
SUPERMAC DECEMBER 1993 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In December 1993, SuperMac recorded charges of $16.6 million in connection with
a program to adjust inventory levels, eliminate excess facilities, terminate
certain projects and contract arrangements and reduce the number of employees.
The charges (in thousands) are included in: cost of sales ($13,352); research
and development ($2,000); and selling, general and administrative expenses
($1,238). There have been no material changes in the restructuring plan or in
the estimates of the restructuring costs. The Company has $236,000 remaining in
its restructuring reserve related to facility costs, the balance of which is
expected to be eliminated in fiscal 1996. As noted in the Consolidated
Financial Statements, the consolidated results for the Company in both the
twelve months ended September 30, 1994 and the fiscal period ended 1993 include
SuperMac's $16.6 million charge.
RADIUS FISCAL 1994 MERGER RELATED RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company recorded charges of $43.4
million in connection with the Merger of Radius and SuperMac. These charges
include the discontinuance of duplicative product lines and related assets;
elimination of duplicative facilities, property and equipment and other assets;
and personnel severance costs as well as transaction fees and costs incidental
to the merger. The charges (in thousands) are included in: net sales ($3,095);
cost of sales ($25,270); research and development ($4,331); and selling, general
and administrative expenses ($10,711). The elements of the total charge as of
September 30, 1995 are as follows (in thousands):

Merger related costs 2,949 - 2,949 -
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Total charges $ 43,407 $ 26,678 $ 15,860 $ 869
The adjustment of inventory levels reflects the discontinuance of duplicative
product lines. The provision for excess facility costs represents the write-off
of leaseholds and sublease costs of Radius' previous headquarters, the
consolidation into one main headquarter and the consolidation of sales offices.
The revision of the operations business model reflects the reorganization of the
combined Company's manufacturing operations to mirror Radius' manufacturing
reorganization in 1993. This reorganization was designed to outsource a number
of functions that previously were performed internally, reduce product costs
through increased efficiencies and lower overhead, and focus the Company on a
limited number of products. Employee severance costs are related to employees
or temporary employees who were released due to the revised business model.
Approximately 250 employees were terminated in connection with the Merger. The
provision for merger related costs is for the costs associated with the Merger
transaction, such as legal, investment banking and accounting fees. The
Company has spent $15.9 million of cash for restructuring through September 30,
1995. The Company expects to have substantially completed the restructuring by
September 1996. During fiscal 1995, approximately $2.1 million of merger
related restructuring reserves were reversed and recorded as an expense
reduction due to changes in estimated requirements.
RADIUS FISCAL 1995 RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
In September 1995, Radius recorded charges of $57.9 million in connection with
the Company's efforts to refocus its business on the color publishing and
multimedia markets. The charges primarily included a writedown of inventory and
other assets. Additionally, it included expenses related to the cancellation of
open purchase orders, excess facilities and severance. The charges (in
thousands) are included in cost of sales ($47,004), and selling, general and
administrative expense ($10,861). The elements of the total charge as of
September 30, 1995 are as follows (in thousands):

Employee severance 3,662 - - 3,662
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Total charges $ 57,865 $ 37,900 $ - $ 19,965
The adjustment of inventory levels reflects the discontinuance of several
product lines. Revenues and gross profit (loss) for significant product lines
discontinued were as follows: MacOS-compatible systems were $21.8 million and
$(19.2) million, respectively; and low-margin displays $82.9 million and $19.6
million, respectively. The provision for excess facility costs represent the
write-off of leasehold improvements and the costs associated with anticipated
reductions in facilities. The cancellation fees and asset write-offs reflect the
Company's decision to refocus its efforts on providing solutions for the color
publishing and multimedia markets. Employee severance costs are related to
employees or temporary employees who have been or will be released due to the
revised business model. As of December 15, 1995, approximately 157 positions of
the 240 total planned had been eliminated in connection with the new business
model. The Company had not spent any cash for this restructuring as of
September 30, 1995. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $4.8 million. See "Management's Business Recovery Plans" at Note
1 due to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to have
substantially completed the restructuring by September 1996.
NOTE NINE. VIDEOFUSION ACQUISITION
The Company acquired VideoFusion, Inc. ("VideoFusion") on September 9, 1994.
VideoFusion is a developer of advanced digital video special effects software
for Apple Macintosh and compatible computers. The Company acquired VideoFusion
in exchange for approximately 890,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
205,900 shares of which were issued at the closing of the acquisition. The
balance of the shares were to be issued in installments over a period of time
contingent on the achievement of certain performance milestones and other
factors. In addition, the Company was required to pay up to $1.0 million in
cash based upon net revenues derived from future sales of products incorporating
VideoFusion's technology. The purchase price for VideoFusion, including closing
costs and the issuance of shares of Common Stock valued at $500,000 in
connection with the achievement of the first milestone was approximately $2.4
million. This amount was allocated to the assets and liabilities of VideoFusion
and resulted in identifiable intangibles of approximately $440,000 and an in-
process research and development expense of approximately $2.2 million. The
intangible asset was to be amortized over two years. The Company recognized the
charge of approximately $2.7 million for in-process research and development and
other costs associated with the acquisition of VideoFusion during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1994.
In May 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with the former holders of
VideoFusion stock to settle the contingent stock and earnout payments that were
originally contemplated. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued
approximately 212,000 shares, and paid approximately $200,000, to the former
holders of VideoFusion stock. These transactions resulted in additional
compensation expense of approximately $3.0 million which was recorded in fiscal
1995.
NOTE TEN. MERGER WITH SUPERMAC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
On August 31, 1994, Radius merged with SuperMac in exchange for 6,632,561 shares
of Radius' common stock. SuperMac was a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of
products that enhanced the power and graphics performance of personal computers.
The Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and, accordingly, the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements have been restated to include the results of SuperMac for all periods
presented.
F-19
Separate results of operations for the periods prior to the Merger are as
follows (in thousands):

Radius SuperMac Expenses Adjustment Combined
--------- --------- ---------- -----------------------
Year ended September 30, 1994
Net revenues $ 162,922 $ 164,978 $ (3,095) $ - $ 324,805
Net loss (18,293) (15,775) (43,407) - (77,475)
Year ended September 30, 1993

Net revenues 134,872 202,501 - - 337,373
Net loss (17,415) (2,724) - - (20,139)
The merger related expenses reflect the recording of the merger related
restructuring and other charges.
Prior to the Merger, SuperMac's fiscal year end was December 31. SuperMac's
separate results for fiscal 1994 have been restated to conform with the twelve
months ended September 30. The Consolidated Financial Statements for all
periods prior to fiscal 1994 have not been restated to adjust SuperMac's fiscal
year end to that of Radius. Such periods include Radius' results of operations
and balance sheet data on a September 30 fiscal year basis and SuperMac's on a
December 31 calendar year basis. Therefore, the results for both the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1994 and the results for the fiscal year ended 1993
include the results for SuperMac's three months ended December 31, 1993.
Unaudited revenues, cost and expenses, and net loss of SuperMac for the three
months ended December 31, 1993 were, $48.5 million, $64.7 million and $9.9
million, respectively.
The Company incurred substantial costs in connection with the Merger and
consolidation of operations. Included in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1994 are merger related
expenses totaling $43.4 million consisting primarily of charges for the
discontinuance of duplicative product lines and related assets, elimination of
duplicative facilities, property and equipment and other assets, and personnel
severance costs as well as transaction fees and costs incident to the Merger.
See Note 8 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE ELEVEN. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
PORTRAIT DISPLAY LABS
On December 19, 1995, the Company signed a series of agreements with Portrait
Display Labs, Inc. ("PDL"). The agreements assigned the Company's pivoting
technology to PDL and canceled PDL's on-going royalty obligation to the Company
under an existing license agreement in exchange for a one-time cash payment. PDL
also granted the Company a limited license back to the pivoting technology.
Under these agreements, PDL settled its outstanding receivable to the Company by
paying the Company $500,000 in cash and issuing to the Company 214,286 shares of
PDL's Common Stock. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES ELECTROHOME INC.

related thereto, for approximately $200,000 in cash and cancellation of $2.5
million of the Company's indebtedness to DTE. In addition, DTE and Radius will
cancel outstanding contracts relating to DTE's manufacture and sale of
monochrome display monitors to Radius.
F-20
COLOR SERVER GROUP
On December 23, 1995, the Company signed a definitive agreement pursuant to
which the Company will sell its Color Server business to Splash Merger Company,
Inc. (the "Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Splash Technology Holdings,
Inc. (the "Parent"), a corporation formed by various investment entities
associated with Summit Partners. The Company will receive approximately
$21,945,175 in cash (subject to certain post-closing adjustments) and 4,282
shares of the Parent's 6% Series B Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series B Preferred Stock"). The shares of Series B Preferred Stock will
be convertible by the Company at any time into 19.9% of the Parent's common
stock outstanding as of the closing of the transaction. The shares of Series B
Preferred Stock also will be redeemable by the Parent at any time, and will be
subject to mandatory redemption beginning on the sixth anniversary of issuance,
in each case at a redemption price of $1,000 per share plus accrued dividends.
The transaction is expected to close in January 1996. Under the Inventory and
Working Capital Agreement, as recently amended, with IBM Credit Corp., the
Company is required to pay all of the net proceeds of the Color Server business
transaction to IBM Credit Corp. in order to reduce the Company's outstanding
indebtedness under that agreement.
IBM CREDIT CORP.
On December 14, 1995, the Company and IBM Credit Corp. ("IBM Credit") amended
the Inventory and Working Capital Financing Agreement (the "IBM Credit
Agreement") entered into by the Company and IBM Credit on February 17, 1995 and
subsequently revised in September 1995 to fund the manufacturing of the
Company's MacOS compatible systems products. See Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Under the amendment, IBM Credit waived the Company's
failure to comply with all of its contractual obligations and financial
covenants under the IBM Credit Agreement. The IBM Credit Amendment, among other
things, also provides that until March 31, 1996 IBM Credit will extend advances
to the Company in an amount up to 90% of the Company's collections and fund the
Company's payroll in the event that collections are insufficient to permit the
advances needed for this purpose. Such advances and payroll funding, however,
may be suspended by IBM Credit (i) immediately following a default of the IBM
Credit Amendment, and (ii) following thirty (30) days notice in the event of any
default of the IBM Credit Agreement. The IBM Credit Amendment also requires the
Company to pay all of the net proceeds of the Color Server Group transaction to
IBM Credit to reduce the Company's outstanding indebtedness under the IBM Credit
Agreement.
1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
On December 20, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 1995 Stock
Option Plan to replace the 1986 Stock Option Plan that expires in 1996, and
reserved 850,000 shares (plus all unissued and unexercised shares available
under the existing 1986 Stock Option Plan) for issuance thereunder. The 1995
Stock Option Plan is subject to shareholder approval. See Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of Radius Inc. ("Radius") as of June 30,
1996 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for
the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
During the first quarter of its 1995 fiscal year, the Company changed its fiscal
year end from the Sunday closest to September 30 to the Friday closest to
September 30. During the second quarter of its 1995 fiscal year, the Company
changed its fiscal year end to the Saturday closest to September 30 for
operational efficiency purposes. For clarity of presentation, all fiscal
periods are reported as ending on a calendar month end.

NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) On November 16, 1995, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. ("EFI") filed a suit in
the United States District Court in the Northern District of California alleging
that the Company infringes a patent allegedly owned by EFI. Although the
complaint does not specify which of the Company's products allegedly infringe
the patent, subsequent pleading indicates that EFI alleges that the Company's
Color Server products allegedly infringe. In January 1996, the Company
completed the divestiture of the Color Server Group.
The Company has filed an answer denying all material allegations, and has filed
counterclaims against EFI alleging causes of action for interference with
prospective economic benefit, antitrust violations, and unfair business
practices. EFI's motion to dismiss or sever the Company's amended counterclaims
was granted in part and the ruling permitted the Company to file an amended
counterclaim for antitrust violations. The Company has filed an amended
antitrust claim. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to EFI's
claims and is defending them vigorously. In addition, the Company believes it
may have indemnification rights with respect to EFI's claims. In the opinion of
management, based on the facts known at this time, although the eventual outcome
of this case is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company, the costs of defense,
regardless of outcome, may have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company. In addition, in connection
with the divestiture of its Color Server business, the Company has certain
indemnification obligations for which approximately $2.3 million remains held in
escrow to secure such obligations in the event that the purchaser suffers any
losses resulting from such litigation.
(b) The Company was named as one of approximately 42 defendants in Shapiro et
al. v. ADI Systems, Inc. et al., Superior Court of California, Santa Clara
County, case no. CV751685, filed August 14, 1995. Radius was named as one of
approximately 32 defendants in Maizes & Maizes et al. v. Apple Computer et al.,
Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, case no. L-13780-95, filed December
15, 1995. Plaintiffs in each case purport to represent alleged classes of
similarly situated
F-26
persons and/or the general public, and allege that the defendants falsely
advertise that the viewing areas of their computer monitors are larger than in
fact they are.
The Company was served with the Shapiro complaint on August 22, 1995 and was
served with the Maizes complaint on January 5, 1996. Defendants' petition to
the California State Judicial Council to coordinate the Shapiro case with
similar cases brought in other California jurisdictions was granted in part and
it is anticipated that the coordinated proceedings will be held in Superior
Court of California, San Francisco County. An amended consolidated complaint
was filed on March 26, 1996. Discovery proceedings are scheduled to begin. The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs' claims and is
defending them vigorously. In the opinion of management, based on the facts
known at this time, the eventual outcome of these cases may have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company
in the financial period in which they are resolved. In addition, whether or not
the eventual outcomes of these cases have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Company, the costs of
defense, regardless of outcome, may have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
(c) On April 17, 1996, the Company was served with a complaint filed by Colorox
Corporation ("Colorox"), in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, County of
Multnomah, case no. 9604-02481, which alleges that the Company breached an
alleged oral contract to sell its dye sublimation printer business to Colorox
for $200,000, and seeks both specific performance of the alleged contract and
alleged damages of $2.5 million. The lawsuit also alleges that an officer of
the Company interfered with the alleged contract. The Company believes it has
meritorious defenses to the plaintiff's claims and intends to defend them
vigorously. Nevertheless, the costs of defense, regardless of outcome, could
have an adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of
the Company.
(d) The Company is involved in a number of other judicial and administrative
proceedings incidental to its business, including litigation by alleged trade
creditors who did not participate in the Plan. The Company intends to defend
such lawsuits vigorously and although adverse decisions (or settlements) may
occur in one or more of such cases, the final resolution of these lawsuits,
individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial position of the Company. However, depending on the
amount and timing of an unfavorable resolution of these lawsuits, it is possible
that the Company's future results of operations or cash flows could be
materially adversely affected in a particular period. In addition, the costs of
defense -- regardless of the outcome -- could have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
NOTE 4. BUSINESS DIVESTITURES
COLOR SERVER GROUP DIVESTITURE
In January 1996, the Company completed the sale of its Color Server Group
("CSG") to Splash Merger Company, Inc. (the "Buyer"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. (the "Parent"), a corporation formed by
various investment entities associated with Summit Partners. Through June 30,
1996 the Company has received approximately $21.0 million in cash and an
additional $2.4 million is being maintained in escrow for certain post-closing
adjustments and to secure certain indemnification obligations. The Company also
received 4,282 shares of the Parent's 6% Series B Redeemable and Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). The shares of Series B
Preferred Stock will be convertible by the Company at any time into
approximately 19.9% of the Parent's common stock outstanding as of the closing
of the transaction. The Company has not converted the Series B Preferred Stock.
In June 1996, the Company granted IBM Credit Corp. ("ICC"), its secured lender,
an option to purchase 428 shares of Series B Preferred as a fee for the
restructuring of the terms of its credit agreement with ICC. The shares of
Series B Preferred Stock also will be redeemable by the Parent at any time, and
will be subject to mandatory redemption beginning on the sixth anniversary of
issuance, in each case at a redemption price of $1,000 per share plus accrued
dividends. These shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been pledged to ICC.
The Company has certain indemnification obligations in connection with the
patent lawsuit brought by Electronics for Imaging, Inc. The net proceeds from
the sale of the Color Server Group were paid to Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") in
order to repay the Company's indebtedness to SVB, and to ICC, in order to reduce
the Company's outstanding indebtedness to ICC.
PORTRAIT DISPLAY LABS
In January 1996, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Portrait
Display Labs, Inc. ("PDL"). The agreements assigned the Company's pivoting
technology to PDL and canceled PDL's on-going royalty obligation to the Company
under an existing license agreement in exchange for a one-time cash payment. PDL
also granted the Company a limited license back to the pivoting
F-27
technology. Under these agreements, PDL also settled its outstanding receivable
to the Company by paying the Company $500,000 in cash and issuing to the Company
214,286 shares of PDL's Common Stock. These shares of PDL Common Stock have
been pledged to ICC.
UMAX DATA SYSTEMS, INC.
In February 1996, the Company sold its MacOS compatible systems business to UMAX
Computer Corporation ("UCC"), a company formed by UMAX Data Systems, Inc.
("UMAX"). The Company received approximately $2.3 million in cash and debt
relief, and 1,492,500 shares of UCC's Common Stock, representing approximately
19.9% of UCC's then outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Company has a right
to receive royalties based on UCC's net revenues related to the MacOS compatible
systems business. These shares of UCC Common Stock have been pledged to ICC.
NOTE 5. RESTRUCTURING RESERVE REVERSAL
During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company reversed approximately
$913,000 of restructuring reserves as a result of a favorable settlement related
to facility lease cancellation fees.
NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In September 1996, the Company, IBM Credit and its unsecured creditors
consummated a debt-for-equity exchange (the "Plan"). Unsecured creditors
forgave approximately $45.9 million of claims (including a $1.0 million
reserve for unknown or unresolved claims) in consideration of the issuance of
36,294,198 shares of Common Stock and Rights to receive 11,046,060 additional
shares of Common Stock in the event that the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock is converted into Common Stock (such numbers include 791,280 shares of
Common Stock and 280,824 Rights issued to the Radius Creditors Trust for the
purpose of satisfying a portion of unknown or unresolved claims). Certain
unsecured creditors, most of which had claims of less than $50,000
(representing approximately $1.9 million in claims), were paid cash at an
average discount of approximately 75% of the amount of the claim in
satisfaction of their claims. The Company's secured creditor, IBM Credit,
received 750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants
to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of $3.0 million of
indebtedness and restructuring the terms of the Company's remaining
approximately $23.4 million indebtedness to IBM Credit.
After the consummation of the Plan, to the Company's knowledge, there remained
unsatisfied unsecured claims against the Company, which the Company does not
dispute, of approximately $200,000. The Company has issued an aggregate of
791,280 shares of Common Stock and an additional 240,824 Rights to the Radius
Creditors Trust, for the purpose of satisfying a portion of any such remaining
or previously unknown claims. There can be no assurance that this amount will
be sufficient to satisfy any such claims. If the Company cannot settle or repay
these remaining claims or any previously unknown claims, there can be no
assurance that such claimants will not institute enforcement proceedings in
order to collect their claims. Any such proceedings could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition. Of the approximately 300 persons the Company believed to be
Convenience Class Creditors, approximately 50 persons claimed that no balance
was owed to such creditors. There can be no assurance that such creditors will
not, in the future, assert claims against the Company.

PRO FORMA UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In January 1996, the Company completed the sale (the "Disposition") of its
Color Server Group ("CSG") to Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. ("Splash"), a
corporation formed by various investment entities associated with Summit
Partners. The Company received approximately $21.0 million in cash ($2.4
million remains in escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations), and
also received 4,282 shares of Splash 6% Series B Redeemable and Convertible
Preferred Stock. The net proceeds of the CSG transaction were used to repay
certain indebtedness of the Company. Reference is made to "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
the historical financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus for a
further description of the CSG transaction.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the nine months ended
June 30, 1996 and the twelve months ended September 30, 1995 reflect the
elimination of net revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses related to CSG.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations assumes that the Disposition
and the other referenced events were completed at the beginning of the relevant
reporting period.
No Pro Forma Unaudited Balance Sheet is presented as the Disposition has
been reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996
included elsewhere herein.
The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of
the results of operations that would actually have been reported had the
transaction underlying the pro forma adjustments actually been consummated on
such dates or of the results of operations that may be reported by the Company
in the future.
The accompanying pro forma financial information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company and the
related notes thereto.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The provisions of Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, Article
V of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the
Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted
by law for expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of
the fact that any person is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Registrant. This indemnification may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. In addition, Article IV of the Registrant's
Articles of Incorporation provides that the liability of the Registrant's
directors shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under the
California Law.
The Registrant has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its
current directors to give such directors additional contractual assurances
regarding the scope of the indemnification and liability limitations set forth
in the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
The Registrant currently carries a director and officer liability insurance
policy with a per claim and annual aggregate coverage limit of $10 million.

Securities Act.
(b) In June 1995, the Company settled shareholder litigation with certain

(c) In September 1996, the Company issued 36,294,198 shares of Common Stock
and Rights to receive 11,046,060 shares of Common Stock in the event that the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock to unsecured
creditors in satisfaction of approximately $45.9 million in claims against the
Company. These securities were issued in reliance on Section 4(2) of, or
Regulation D promulgated under, the Securities Act.
(d) In September 1996, the Company issued 750,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of Common

(b) The following financial statement schedule is filed herewith:
Schedule II -- Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (See page F-22)
Other financial statement schedules are omitted because the information
called for is not required or is shown either in the Financial Statements or the
Notes thereto.
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"); (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-6
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant has duly
caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sunnyvale, State of
California, on the 18th day of September, 1996.
