1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a
complete presentation of the results of operations, the financial
position, and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. This report on Form 10-Q for the three months and
sixnine months ended June 26,September 25, 1998 should be read in conjunction with
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets,
statements of operations and cash flows reflect all normal recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim three and sixnine
month periods ended June 26,September 25, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
--------------------------------
Earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the
weighted-average number of common shares and, as appropriate, dilutive
common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Stock options are
considered to be common stock equivalents.
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is the amount of earnings (loss)
for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during
the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is the amount of
earnings (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock
outstanding during the reporting period and to each share that would have
been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period.
In calculating earnings (loss) per common share, the earnings (loss) were
the same for both the basic and diluted calculation. Weighted-average
shares of 930,287 and 7,308 for the three months ended September 25, 1998
and September 26, 1997, respectively, and 400,882 and 6,164 for the nine
months ended September 25, 1998 and September 26, 1997, respectively,
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the period. A
reconciliation between the basic and diluted weighted-average number of
common shares for the three months and sixnine months ended June 26,September 25,
1998 and June 27,September 26, 1997, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the
combined results of operations of the Company, AGI, and SRI as if the
acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of 1998 and 1997, after
giving effect to certain adjustments, including, but not limited to,
amortization of goodwill, reversal of in-process research and development
charges recorded in 1998, and decreased interest income and the
corresponding tax effect as a result of the reduction in cash and
marketable securities that would have occurred to acquire these
companies.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this
form. All data in the tables are in thousands except for percentages. Except for
the historical information contained herein, this report on Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation (E&S(R) or the Company) develops and
manufactures hardware and software for visual systems that produce vivid and
highly realistic three-dimensional (3-D) graphics and synthetic environments.
The Company's product offerings include a full range of high-performance visual
systems for simulation, training and virtual reality applications, as well as
graphic accelerator products for personal computer workstations.
E&S is organized into six business units. Each business unit develops and
markets its products to a worldwide customer base. These business units can be
grouped into two areas: core businesses and new businesses. The core businesses
are the simulation-related units in which E&S has an established market presence
with significant market share and which represent the majority of the Company's
revenues and earnings. The new businesses are in high growth markets where E&S
has superior technology which can be directed to new applications.
Core businesses:
Government Simulation
Government Simulation provides visual systems for flight and ground
training and related services to U.S. and international armed forces,
NASA, and aerospace companies. E&S remains an industry leader for
visual systems sales to various U.S. government agencies and more than
20 foreign governments for the primary purpose of trainng vehicle
operators.
E&S anticipates continued growth in this marketplace as simulation
training increases in value as an alternative to other training
methods, and as simulation training technology and cost-effectiveness
improve. Future customer demands will include lower-cost PC-based
systems, more open systems with interoperable databases, and custom
display systems, all of which E&S believes it is well positioned to
provide.
Commercial Simulation
Commercial Simulation is a leading independent supplier of visual
systems for flight simulators for commercial airlines.
The business unit's hardware platform, consisting of an ESIG(R) 3350GT
image generator and ESCP 2000 raster/calligraphic projectors, provides
high image quality, reliability, and ease-of use. E&S's Commercial
Simulation systems have been approved by major aviation regulatory
agencies. In the future, the Company believes it will enhance its
industry position by using E&S Harmony(TM) image generators and
advanced display products, and by expanding its product base to include
other flight simulator products.
New businesses:
Board Products
Board Products (formerly Display Systems) supplies high-performance,
high-margin board-level products for simulation, avionics, and vehicle
displays. Board Products is transitioning from a project-oriented model
to being a product-based business, with desktop simulation solutions as
its principal target.
9
The Board Product's Rhythm(TM) board, a member of the Company's
Symphony(TM) line of products, combines the Company's REALimage(TM)
graphics technology with an onboard processor to create a compact and
cost-effective, low-end simulation solution. Board Products intends to
develop full-capability board level image generators and advanced
display products, and to participate more fully in the in-vehicle

Desktop Graphics
Desktop Graphics provides REALimage graphics accelerator technology for
workstation manufacturers and NT-based personal computers. Since
inauguralInaugural
shipments began in June 1997, 12 manufacturers of Windows NT-based
computers have selected REALimage graphics acceleration technology.1997. In March 1998, volume production of the
third-generation REALimage chip design began, thereby keeping pace with
introductions of new, more powerful processors from Intel. The Company
plans two technology upgrades this year. REALimage technology supports
the full range of professional OpenGL graphics applications, including,
among others, design engineering, simulation, digital content creation,
visualization, animation, and entertainment.
On June 26, 1998, the Company acquired AccelGraphics, Inc.(AGI), a
provider of high-performance, cost-effective, three-dimensional ("3D")
graphics subsystem products for the professional Windows NT and Windows
95 markets, and Silicon Reality Inc. (SRI), a designer and producer of
3D graphics hardware and software products for the personal computer
marketplace, to expand the Company's Desktop Graphics development,
integration and distribution within the desktop graphics marketplace.
AGI pioneered the development of professional 3D graphics subsystems
for use with Microsoft's Windows NT operating system ("NT"). A 3D
graphics subsystem integrates graphics acceleration chips (including
E&S's REALimage graphics accelerator chips), specialized hardware,
firmware, software and memory. AGI's 3D graphics subsystems, when
included in an Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium Pro II or Digital
Alpha based computer, create a class of computer system called a
"Personal Workstation." Personal Workstations, which often sell for
less than $10,000, provide capabilities and performance comparable to
more expensive 3D graphics RISC/UNIX workstations.
Following the Company's acquisition of AGI, AGI's name was changed to
Evans & Sutherland Graphics Corporation (ESGC). ESGC currently offers three distincta
range of 3D graphics subsystem product lines. AGI'sESGC's products include a
family of 3D graphics subsystems for applications based on OpenGL and
other 3D application programming interfaces, such as Autodesk's Heidi and Microsoft's DirectX.interfaces. Through AGI'sESGC's extensive
experience in 3D algorithms, the interaction of 3D applications with
OpenGL and overall 3D graphics system integration, AGIESGC delivers
robust, well-integrated subsystem solutions to the professional 3D
graphics market. AGIESGC sells its products through original equipment
manufacturers and a worldwide network of value added resellers and
distributors.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 22, 1998, Intel Corporation (Intel) purchased 901,408 sharesYEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of a series
of Preferred Stock, no par value,potential problems with computer systems or
any equipment with computer chips that store the year portion of the date as
just two digits (e.g. 98 for 1998). Systems using this two-digit approach will
not be able to determine whether "00" represents the year 2000 or 1900. The
problem, if not corrected, will make those systems fail altogether or, even
worse, allow them to generate incorrect calculations causing a disruption of
normal operations.
The Company plushas created a warrantcompany-wide Year 2000 team to purchase an
additional 378,462 shares at $33.28 per share for approximately $24 million.
These preferred shares have certain liquidationidentify and conversion rights in
addition to other rightsresolve
Year 2000 issues associated either with the Company's internal systems or the
products and preferences. In addition,services sold by the Company. As part of this effort, the Company
entered into
an agreementis communicating with its main suppliers of technology products and services
regarding the Year 2000 status of such products or services. The Company has
identified and is testing its main internal systems and expects to accelerate developmentcomplete
testing in early 1999. Throughout 1998 and 1999 the Company expects to complete
implementation of high-end graphicsany needed Year 2000-related modifications to its information
systems. The Company is also currently assessing its internal non-information
technology systems, and video subsystemsexpects to complete testing and any needed modifications
to these systems in early 1999.
The Company's total cost relating to these activities has not been and is not
expected to be material to the Company's financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. The Company believes that necessary modifications
will be made on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that there
will not be a delay in, or increased costs associated with, the implementation
of such modifications, or that the Company's suppliers will adequately prepare
for Intel-based workstationsthe Year 2000 issue. It is possible that any such delays, increased costs,
or supplier failures could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
operations and a cross-license agreement.financial results, by, for example, impacting the Company's
ability to deliver products or services to its customers. The Company expects in
mid-1999 to finalize its assessment of and contingency planning for potential
operational or performance problems related to Year 2000 issues with its
information systems.
The Company's Year 2000 effort has included testing products currently or
recently on the Company's price list for Year 2000 issues. Generally, for
products that were identified as needing updates to address Year 2000 issues,
the Company has prepared or is preparing updates, or has removed or is removing
the product from its price list. Some of the Company's customers are using
product versions that the Company will not support for Year 2000 issues; the
Company is encouraging these customers to migrate to current product versions
that are Year 2000 ready.
For third party products which the Company distributes with its products, the
Company has sought information from the product manufacturers regarding the
products' Year 2000 readiness status. Customers who use the third-party products
are directed to the product manufacturer for detailed Year 2000 status
information. On its Year 2000 web site at www.es.com/investor/y2k_corp.html, the
Company provides information regarding which of its products are Year 2000 ready
and other general information related to the Company's Year 2000 efforts. The
Company's total costs relating to these activities has not been and is not
expected to be material to the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
The Company believes its current products, with any applicable updates, are
well-prepared for Year 2000 date issues, and the Company plans to support these
products for date issues that may arise related to the Year 2000. However, there
can be no guarantee that one or more current Company products do not contain
Year 2000 date issues that may result in material costs to the Company.
