Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 22, 2010, we were notified by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ("DARPA") that we had completed Milestone 7 under our DARPA Phase III High Productivity Computing Systems program agreement. The milestone was for $12,000,000 and, based on our level of spending for DARPA-related work, we expect that all of the milestone amount will be credited against our research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2010 as part of this co-funding arrangement.

Additional information regarding our agreement with DARPA, as amended, can be found in our report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2010.





Forward-Looking Statements

This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, including, but not limited to, statements related to our ability to credit all of the milestone amount against our research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2010. These statements involve current expectations, forecasts of future events and other statements that are not historical facts. Inaccurate assumptions and known and unknown risks and uncertainties can affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements and cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect actual future events or results include, but are not limited to, the risk that our estimate of the future costs to complete work under the DARPA contract were to increase materially and such other risks as identified in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and from time to time in other reports filed by Cray with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You should not rely unduly on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Cray undertakes no duty to publicly announce or report revisions to these statements as new information becomes available that may change the Company's expectations.
