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
six months ended June 26, 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 six
month periods ended June 26, 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. A reconciliation
between the basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares
for the three months and six months ended June 26, 1998 and June 27,
1997, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

2. RESTATEMENT OF QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's June 26, 1998 condensed
consolidated financial statements, the SEC issued guidelines on its views
regarding the valuation methodology used in determining acquired
in-process technology expensed on the date of acquisition. As a result of
these guidelines, the Company has modified its methods used to value the
acquired in-process technology and other intangible assets in connection
with the acquisitions of AccelGraphics, Inc. and Silicon Reality, Inc.
Initial calculations of the value of the acquired in-process technology
were based on the cost required to complete each project, the after-tax
cash flows attributable to each project, and the selection of an
appropriate rate of return to reflect the risk associated with the stage
of completion of each project. Revised calculations of the value of the
acquired in-process technology are based on adjusted after-tax cash flows
that give explicit consideration to the SEC's views on acquired
in-process technology as set forth in its September 15, 1998 letter to
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. As a result of
the revised valuations, the amount of purchase price allocated to
in-process technology decreased from $27,925 to $20,780 and the amount
ascribed to other intangible assets, goodwill and deferred income taxes
increased from $7,921 to $16,032. The Company also reclassified $84 of
goodwill from other noncurrent assets.
The following table outlines the revisions to the previously reported
condensed consolidated financial statements:

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/A 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.
<PAGE>
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
training marketplace.
Desktop Graphics
Desktop Graphics provides REALimage graphics accelerator technology for
workstation manufacturers and NT-based personal computers. Since
inaugural shipments in June 1997, 12 manufacturers of Windows NT-based
computers have selected REALimage graphics acceleration technology. 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.
AGI currently offers three distinct 3D graphics subsystem product
lines. AGI'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. Through
AGI's extensive experience in 3D algorithms, the interaction of 3D
applications with OpenGL and overall 3D graphics system integration,
AGI delivers robust, well-integrated subsystem solutions to the
professional 3D graphics market. AGI sells its products through
original equipment manufacturers and a worldwide network of value added
resellers and distributors.
Digital Studio
Digital Studio provides virtual studio products and services for
digital content production in the television, film, video, corporate
training, and multimedia industries at a lower cost than traditional
proprietary technology. MindSet(TM) Virtual Studio System and
FuseBox(TM) control software enable the use of virtual sets with live
talent for video. The MindSet system is in use at broadcast,
production, postproduction, and educational institutions worldwide.
As the first Windows NT-based virtual set system, MindSet earned
immediate distinction at the 1997 National Association of Broadcasters
annual conference by being cited as one of the ten best "Prime Time"
digital products on exhibit. It also received an "Editors' Choice"
Award from AV Video Multimedia Magazine, and a "1997 Product Innovation
Award" from Computer Graphics World Magazine.
Digital Theater
Digital Theater focuses on hardware, software, and content development
for digital theater venues, and is a leading supplier of digital
planetarium projection systems (Digistar(R) II). Digital Theater is
dedicated to the emerging, large format digital theater marketplace.
Efforts are focused on hardware, software, and content development.
<PAGE>

Sales
Sales for the second quarter of 1998 increased 15.1% to $43.6 million compared
to $37.9 million for the second quarter of 1997. Sales for the six month period
ended June 26, 1998 increased 20.3% to $86.1 million compared to $71.5 million
for the six month period ended June 27, 1997. The quarter-to-date and
year-to-date increases in sales during 1998 were primarily due to strong backlog
levels going into 1998 and revenue growth in the Company's Commercial Simulation
and Desktop Graphics business units. Domestic sales for the second quarter of
1998 increased 45% to $11.6 million as compared to $8.0 million for the second
quarter of 1997, while foreign sales for the second quarter of 1998 decreased 3%
to $16.8 million compared to $17.4 million for the second quarter of 1997.
Domestic sales for the first six months of 1998 increased 53% to $27.9 million
as compared to $18.2 million for the first six months of 1997, while foreign
sales for the first six months of 1998 decreased 24.3% to $21.6 million compared
to $28.5 million for the first six months of 1997.
<PAGE>
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 55.8% for the second quarter of
1998 compared to 54.0% for the second quarter 1997. For the six month period
ended June 26, 1998, cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 57.7% compared
to 54.5% for the six month period ended June 27, 1997. The increase in cost of
sales, as a percentage of sales, for the second quarter and for the first six
months of 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997, is primarily due to
product mix, timing of shipments and completed contracts, and lower margin
government simulation contracts in which the Company served as the prime
contractor. These higher costs were partially offset by lower cost of sales as a
percentage of sales on its Commercial Simulation and Desktop Graphics business
units. Royalties and commissions generated by Desktop Graphics have relatively
low associated costs. The Company's Board Products business unit also had higher
cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of 1998 as compared
to the second quarter of 1997 reflecting the effects of certain design changes,
among other factors.
Expenses
Total expenses for the second quarter of 1998 increased 140.0% to $36.9 million
compared to $15.4 million for the second quarter of 1997, but decreased as a
percentage of sales, excluding the write-off of acquired in-process technology,
to 37.0% from 40.6% for the respective periods. Total expenses for the first six
months of 1998 increased 79.7% to $52.2 million compared to $29.1 million for
the first six months of 1997, but decreased as a percentage of sales, excluding
the write-off of acquired research and development, to 36.5% from 40.6% for the
respective periods.
Marketing, General, and Administrative: Marketing, general, and administrative
expense for the second quarter of 1998 increased 8.0% to $9.3 million compared
to $8.6 million for the second quarter of 1997, but decreased as a percentage of
sales to 21.4% from 22.8% for the respective periods. Marketing, general, and
administrative expenses for the first six months of 1998 increased 9.0% to $18.0
million compared to $16.5 million for the first six months of 1997, but
decreased as a percentage of sales to 20.9% from 23.0% for the respective
periods. The increases in marketing, general, and administrative expenses during
the second quarter and the first six months of 1998 are primarily due to
increased labor costs related to increased headcount, wages and incentive
bonuses due to higher profitability, consulting and professional services,
travel costs, and administrative costs related to the growth in operations.
Research and Development: Research and development expense for the second
quarter of 1998 increased 0.9% to $6.8 million compared to $6.7 million for the
second quarter of 1997, but decreased as a percentage of sales to 15.6% from
17.8% for the respective periods. Research and development expense for the first
six months of 1998 increased 7.1% to $13.5 million compared to $12.6 million for
the first six months of 1997, but decreased as a percentage of sales to 15.7%
from 17.6% for the respective periods. The increases in research and development
expense during the second quarter and the first six months of 1998 are primarily
due to increased headcount and activity related to the development of the
Company's Symphony line of products.
Acquired In-Process Technology
The write-off of acquired in-process technology represents a non-recurring
charge of $20.8 million, associated with the acquisitions of AGI and SRI
completed in June 1998, for technology which had not reached technological
feasibility and had no alternative future use.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, for the second quarter of 1998 decreased 13.5% to $0.6
million compared to $0.7 million for the second quarter of 1997. Other income,
net, for the first six months of 1998 decreased 9.7% to $1.1 million compared to
$1.2 million for the first six months of 1997. The decreases in other income for
the second quarter and first six months of 1998 are primarily due to a decrease
in interest income due to lower average cash and marketable securities balances.
<PAGE>
Income Taxes
The Company's combined federal, state and foreign effective income tax rate was
32.5% of earnings before income taxes excluding acquisition expenses related to
the write-off of in-process technology of $20.8 million for the second quarter
and the first six months of 1998. The tax rate for these same periods in 1997
was 27.0% and 28.3%, respectively. These rates are calculated based on an
estimated annual effective tax rate applied to income before income taxes.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at June 26, 1998 was $120.7 million compared to $129.0 million
at December 31, 1997. This includes cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $34.2 million and $57.1 million at June 26, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively. The Company's operations used $14.2 million during the first
six months of 1998, compared to $12.7 million of cash provided by operations
during the first six months of 1997. Cash was primarily provided from net
proceeds of sales of marketable and investment securities, net borrowings under
line of credit agreements, and proceeds from employee stock purchase and option
plans. Cash was principally used to acquire new businesses, to repurchase and
retire shares of the Company's common stock, and to purchase capital equipment.
At June 26, 1998, the Company had unsecured credit facilities with foreign banks
with total availability of approximately $11 million, for which there were
approximately $5 million of borrowings outstanding, and a $5 million unsecured
line for letters of credit with a U.S. bank.
Management believes that existing cash and marketable securities balances,
borrowings available under its credit facilities and cash generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated operating
requirements for the next twelve months. The Company's cash and marketable
securities are available for strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions,
other potential cash needs as they may arise, and to fund the continuation of
its stock repurchase plan.
On February 18, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
of up to 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, including the 327,000
shares still available from the repurchase authorization approved by the board
on November 11, 1996. Subsequent to February 18, 1998, the Company has
repurchased 264,000 shares of its common stock; thus, 336,000 shares currently
remain available for repurchase. Stock may be acquired in the open market or
through negotiated transactions. Under the program, repurchases may be made from
time to time, depending on market conditions, share price, and other factors.
These repurchases are to be used primarily to meet current and near-term
requirements for the Company's stock-based benefit plans.
The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock in the past and has no
present intention to do so in the future.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 22, 1998, Intel Corporation (Intel) purchased 901,408 shares of a series
of Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Company plus a warrant to purchase an
additional 378,462 shares at $33.28 per share for approximately $24 million.
These preferred shares have certain liquidation and conversion rights in
addition to other rights and preferences. In addition, the Company entered into
an agreement to accelerate development of high-end graphics and video subsystems
for Intel-based workstations and a cross-license agreement.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q may be deemed to contain certain
forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to risk of product demand, market
acceptance, economic conditions, competitive products and pricing, difficulties
in product development, commercialization and technology, and other risks
detailed in this filing and in the Company's most recent Form 10-K. Although the
Company believes it has the product offerings and resources for continuing
success, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably predicted. Factors
external to the Company can result in volatility of the Company's common stock
price. Because of the foregoing factors, recent trends are not necessarily
reliable indicators of future stock prices or financial performance.
