ITEM 2:  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

    On August  25, 1997 and August 29, 1997, Radius Inc. (the "Company") sold 
an aggregate of 875,000  and 121,875 shares, respectively, of the 1,741,127 
shares of Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. ("Splash") Common Stock owned by the 
Company. These shares were sold pursuant to an underwritten public offering 
of an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of Common Stock of Splash by Splash and 
certain other stockholders of Splash.

    The shares of Splash Common Stock were sold to the underwriters at a 
price of $30.875 per share (including underwriting discount) for aggregate 
net proceeds to the Company of $30.8 million.  The Company used $21.9 million 
of such proceeds to repay all outstanding indebtedness of the Company under 
its term loan agreement with IBM Credit Corp. ("IBM Credit"), used $3.4 
million of such proceeds to redeem all of the Company's outstanding Series A 
Preferred Stock (all of which shares were held by IBM Credit) and used $5.5 
million of such proceeds to repay principal outstanding of $6.8 million on 
the working capital line of credit with IBM Credit. 

    After the completion of the sale of these shares of Splash Common Stock, 
the Company continues to own 744,252 shares of Splash Common Stock.  


ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS

    In connection with the repayment of its term loan agreement and the 
redemption of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock with the proceeds of the 
sale of the Splash Common Stock described above, the Company entered into an 
amended working capital line of credit for $5.0 million that is secured by 
the remaining shares of Splash Common Stock held by the Company. 



ITEM 7:  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(b) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

    Set forth below is the Company's Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance
