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
nine months ended September 25, 1998April 2, 1999 should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.1998.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of
operations, comprehensive income 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 nine
month periodsperiod ended September 25, 1998April
2, 1999 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 basedCertain amounts in the 1998 consolidated financial statements and notes have
been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", was issued. The statement requires derivatives to be recorded on
the weighted-average numberbalance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or
losses resulting from changes in fair value of common shares and, as appropriate, dilutive
common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Stock optionsderivatives are consideredrecorded
depending upon whether the instruments meet the criteria for hedge accounting.
The impact of adopting this statement is not anticipated to be common stock equivalents.
Basic earnings (loss) per common share ismaterial to 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 nine months ended September 25,
1998 and September 26, 1997, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

approximately $1.5 million.$1.2 million, including transaction costs of approximately
$250,000. SRI is based in Federal Way, Washington, and designs and produces
three-dimensional graphics hardware and software products for the personal
computer marketplace. This acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method

information about its operating segments.
The Company's business units have been aggregated into three reportable
segments: simulation, workstation products, and applications. These reportable
segments offer different products and services and are managed and evaluated
separately because each segment uses different technologies and requires
different marketing strategies. The simulation segment provides a broad line of
visual systems for flight and ground simulators for training purposes to
government, aerospace and commercial airline customers. The workstation products
segment provides graphics accelerator products, including graphics chips and
subsystems, to the personal PC workstation marketplace. The applications segment
provides digital video applications for entertainment, educational and
multimedia industries.

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings 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 per common share is the amount of earnings for the period
available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.
Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings 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.

================== =================
12
Sales
In the first quarter of 1999, sales increased $7.3 million, or 17% ($49.7
million compared to $42.4 million in 1998). Sales for simulation products
increased $0.5 million, or 1% ($40.3 million in the first quarter of 1999
compared to $39.7 million in the first quarter of 1998). The increase in sales
of simulation products is due to increased sales volumes due to strong demand by
U.S. and European government customers and commercial airline customers. Sales
of workstation products increased $6.6 million, or 424% ($8.1 million in the
first quarter of 1999 compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1998).
The increase in sales of workstation products is due to the acquisition of
AccelGraphics, Inc. at the end of the second quarter of 1998. Sales of
application products increased $0.2 million, or 21% ($1.4 million in the first
quarter of 1999 compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 1998). The
increase in sales of application products is due to increased sales volumes of
Virtual Studio Systems.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $5.3 million, or 31% ($22.4 million in the first quarter
of 1999 compared to $17.1 million in the first quarter of 1998). As a percent of
sales, gross profit increased to 45.0% in the first quarter of 1999 from 40.4%
in the first quarter of 1998. The increase in gross margin is due to lower
margin contracts in the Simulation Group in which the Company served as the
primary contractor and low-margin location-based entertainment sales in the
Applications Group in 1998. This was offset by lower margins in 1999 in the
Workstation Products Group as it has changed its business model from one based
on royalty income to one based on sales of graphics subsystems which has product
costs consistent with a manufacturing operation. Selling, General and
Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million, or 18%
($10.2 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared to $8.6 million in the
first quarter of 1998) but remained consistent as a percent of sales (20.6% in
the first quarter of 1999 compared to 20.4% in the first quarter of 1998). The
increase in these expenses is due to increased selling, general and
administrative expenses related to the operations of ESGC (formerly
AccelGraphics, Inc.) and increased labor costs due to increased headcount.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased $4.4 million, or 66% ($11.1 million
in the first quarter of 1999 compared to $6.7 million in the first quarter of
1998) and increased as a percent of sales (22.3% in the first quarter of 1999
compared to 15.7% in the first quarter of 1998). The increase in these expenses
is due to increased research and development expenses related to the operations
of ESGC to support increased research and development activity in the
Workstation Products Group as well as higher costs in the Simulation Group
relating to the launch of its Harmony(TM) image generator.
Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets increased $0.7 million
($0.7 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared to $8,000 in the first
quarter of 1998). The increase in these expenses is due to the amortization of
goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisitions of AGI and SRI
during the second quarter of 1998. The goodwill is being amortized using the
straight-line method over an estimated useful life of seven years. The other
intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives ranging from six months to seven years.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net decreased $0.5 million ($15,000 in the first quarter of 1999
compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 1998). Interest income was $0.2
million and $0.6 million in the first quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of
1998, respectively. The decrease in interest income is due to the decrease in
the average cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balances in the
first quarter of 1999 as compared to the first quarter of 1998.
13
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 31.1% and 32.5% of pre-tax earnings for the first
quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. These rates are calculated based on an
estimated annual effective tax rate applied to earnings before income taxes.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
At April 2, 1999, the Company had working capital of $135.9 million, including
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $9.6 million, compared to
working capital of $134.4 million at December 31, 1998, including cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments of $27.7 million. During the first
quarter of 1999, the Company used $15.0 million of cash in its operating
activities, generated $20.9 of cash from its investing activities, and used $0.6
million of cash in its financing activities.
The primary uses of cash from its operating activities included an increase in
costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, net
of $16.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $7.3 million, an increase in
inventories of $5.7 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $2.3 million.
These primary uses of cash were partially offset by $13.0 million net cash flow
from the collection of accounts receivable and $4.0 million of depreciation and
amortization expense. The increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings on uncompleted contracts was due to the Company's overall revenue
growth in addition to the timing of revenue and billing milestones. The increase
in inventories is attributed to the Company's transition to new products that
required the need to carry inventories of old and new products simultaneously
and the Company's initial transition efforts to outsource certain aspects of its
manufacturing assemblies which resulted in temporary duplications of certain
inventories.
The Company's investing activities during the first quarter of 1999 included
capital expenditures of $2.0 million for building improvements and equipment.
Proceeds from the sale of short-term investments provided $23.4 million of cash
during the first quarter of 1999.
The Company's financing activities during the first quarter of 1999 included the
use of $0.8 million for the repurchase of common stock and $0.2 million for
repayments under line of credit agreements. Proceeds from the issuance of common
stock relating to the exercise of stock options provided $0.4 million of cash
during the first quarter of 1999.
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
of Directors on November 11, 1996. On September 8, 1998, the Company's Board of
Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. Subsequent to February 18, 1998, the Company has
repurchased 784,000 shares of its common stock; thus, 816,000 shares currently
remain available for repurchase as of May 14, 1999. 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.
In November 1998, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement
with U.S. Bank National Association. The revolving line of credit provides for
borrowings by the Company of up to $20.0 million. Borrowings bear interest at
the prevailing prime rate minus 1.0% or the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The revolving
line of credit expires on November 10, 1999. The revolving line of credit, among
other things, (i) requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios;
(ii) restricts the Company's ability to incur debt or liens; sell, assign,
pledge or lease assets; merge with another company; and (iii) restricts the
payment of dividends and repurchase of any of the Company's outstanding shares
without prior consent of the lender. The revolving line of credit is unsecured.
There were no borrowings under this agreement outstanding as of April 2, 1999.
In addition, the Company has a $7.5 million unsecured line for letters of credit
with U.S. Bank National Association for which there were approximately $6.1
million outstanding as of April 2, 1999.
As of April 2, 1999, the Company had revolving line of credit agreements with
foreign banks totaling approximately $6.6 million, of which approximately $2.7
million was unused and available. The Company has a letter of credit with
another bank in the United States for $5.0 million as a guarantee for one of the
Company's foreign line of credit agreements.
In July 22, 1998, Intel Corporation purchasedthe Company obtained approximately $24.0 million, less transaction
costs of approximately $0.5 million, of financing through the sale of 901,408
shares of a series
ofthe Company's Class B-1 Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Company plus a warrantand issued

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
training marketplace.
Desktop Graphics
Desktop Graphics provides REALimage graphics accelerator technology for
workstation manufacturers and NT-based personal computers. Inaugural
shipments began in June 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 a
range of 3D graphics subsystem product lines. ESGC's products include a
family of 3D graphics subsystems for applications based on OpenGL and
other 3D application programming interfaces. Through ESGC's extensive
experience in 3D algorithms, the interaction of 3D applications with
OpenGL and overall 3D graphics system integration, ESGC delivers
robust, well-integrated subsystem solutions to the professional 3D
graphics market. ESGC 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.

============ ============
Sales
Sales for the third quarter of 1998 increased 22.9% to $47.3 million
compared to $38.5 million for the third quarter of 1997. Sales for the nine
month period ended September 25, 1998 increased 21.2% to $133.3 million
compared to $110.0 million for the nine month period ended September 26,
1997. The quarter-to-date and year-to-date increases in sales during 1998
were primarily due to strong backlog levels goingconvertible at each bondholder's option into 1998 and revenue
growth in the Company's Government Simulation, Commercial Simulation and
Desktop Graphics business units and three months of ESGC sales (formerly
AGI, a business acquired at the beginning of the third quarter of 1998).
Domestic sales for the third quarter of 1998 increased 77.5% to $24.5
million as compared to $13.8 million for the third quarter of 1997, while
foreign sales for the third quarter of 1998 decreased 7.7% to $22.8 million
compared to $24.7 million for the third quarter of 1997. Domestic sales for
the first nine months of 1998 increased 70.3% to $72.9 million as compared
to $42.8 million for the first nine months of 1997, while foreign sales for
the first nine months of 1998 decreased 10.1% to $60.4 million compared to
$67.2 million for the first nine months of 1997.
11
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 56.3% for the third quarter of
1998 compared to 49.8% for the third quarter of 1997. For the nine month
period ended September 25, 1998, cost of sales as a percentage of sales was
57.2% compared to 52.9% for the nine month period ended September 26, 1997.
The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the third
quarter and for the first nine 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. In addition, cost of
sales as a percentage of sales was negatively impacted by the addition of
ESGC whose cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 77.1% during the
third quarter of 1998.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 1998 increased 40.0% to
$20.3 million compared to $14.5 million for the third quarter of 1997, and
also increased as a percentage of sales, to 42.9% from 37.7% for the
respective periods. Total operating expenses for the first nine months of
1998 increased 82.9% to $79.7 million compared to $43.6 million for the
first nine months of 1997, but actually decreased as a percentage of sales,
excluding the write-off of acquired research and development, to 38.8% from
39.6% for the respective periods. The primary reasons for the increase in
operating expenses are growth in overall operations and sales combined with
additional operating expenses incurred by ESGC of $2.8 million during the
third quarter of 1998.
Marketing, General, and Administrative: Marketing, general, and
administrative expense for the third quarter of 1998 increased 32.4%
to $11.5 million compared to $8.7 million for the third quarter of
1997, and increased as a percentage of sales to 24.3% from 22.6% for
the respective periods. Marketing, general, and administrative
expenses for the first nine months of 1998 increased 17.1% to $29.5
million compared to $25.2 million for the first nine months of 1997,
but decreased slightly as a percentage of sales to 22.1% from 22.9%
for the respective periods. The increases in marketing, general, and
administrative expenses during the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1998 are primarily due to increased labor costs related to
increased headcount, wages, consulting and professional services,
travel costs, and administrative costs related to operational growth.
In addition, ESGC incurred additional marketing, general and
administrative expenses of $1.8 million during the third quarter of
1998.
Research and Development: Research and development expense for the
third quarter of 1998 increased 51.2% to $8.8 million compared to $5.8
million for the third quarter of 1997, and increased as a percentage
of sales to 18.6% from 15.1% for the respective periods. Research and
development expense for the first nine months of 1998 increased 21.0%
to $22.3 million compared to $18.4 million for the first nine months
of 1997, but remained flat as a percentage of sales at 16.7%. The
increases in research and development expense during the third quarter
and the first nine months of 1998 are primarily due to increased
headcount and activity related to the development of the Company's
Symphony line of products and the additional research and development
activities of ESGC, which totaled approximately $1.0 million during
the third quarter of 1998.
Write-off of Acquired Research and Development
The write-off of acquired research and development of $27.9 million for the
nine months ended September 25, 1998 represents management's estimated
value of incomplete research and development projects acquired through
business and asset purchases made during the second quarter of 1998.
Income Taxes
The Company's combined federal, state and foreign effective income tax rate
was 35.0% of earnings before income taxes for the third quarter of 1998.
The effective income tax rate was 32.8% of earnings before income taxes,
excluding acquisition expenses related to the write-off of in-process
research and development of $27.9 million for the first nine months of
1998. The tax rate for these same periods in 1997 was 25.0% and 26.6%,
respectively. These rates are calculated based on an estimated annual
effective tax rate applied to income before income taxes.
12
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at September 25, 1998 was $139.4 million compared to $129.0
million at December 31, 1997. This includes cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $55.3 million and $57.1 million at September 25, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Company's operations used $8.1 million
during the first nine months of 1998, compared to $8.6 million of cash provided
by operations during the first nine months of 1997. Cash was primarily provided
from net proceeds for the issuance of 901,408 shares of the Company's Class B-1
Preferred Stock during the third quarter of 1998 (see discussion below), 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 to purchase marketable securities,
and to purchase capital equipment.
At September 25, 1998, the Company had unsecured credit facilities with foreign
banks with total availability of approximately $11 million, for which there were
approximately $3.6 million of borrowings outstanding, andat a $5 million unsecured
line for letters of credit with a U.S. bank.
On July 22, 1998, the Company obtained approximately $24.0 million, less
transaction costs of approximately $850,000, of financing through the sale of
901,408 shares of the Company's Class B-1 Preferred Stock, no par value, and
issued warrants to purchase 378,462 additional shares of the Company's Class B-1
Preferred Stock at an exerciseconversion price of $33.28125 per share. The Investor has
certain contractual rights, including registration rights, a right of first
refusal, and a right to require the Company to repurchase the 901,408 shares of
Class B-1 Preferred Stock, 378,462 shares underlying the warrant, and shares of
Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Class B-1 Preferred
Stock (the "Investor Shares") for any transaction qualifying as a Corporate
Event, as defined below. If the Investor fails to exercise its right of first
refusal as to a Corporate Event, the Investor shall, upon the Company's entering
into an agreement to consummate a Corporate Event, have the right to sell to the
Company any$42.10 or all of the Intel Shares. A Corporate Event shall mean any of the
following, whether accomplished through one or a series of related transactions:
(a) certain transactions that result in a greater than 33% change in the total
outstanding number of voting securities of the Company immediately after such
issuance; (b) an acquisition of the Company or any of its significant
subsidiaries by consolidation, merger, share purchase or exchange or other
reorganization or transaction in which the holders of the Company's or such
significant subsidiary's outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such
transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing
less than 50% of the voting power of the Company, any such significant
subsidiary or the person issuing such securities or surviving such transaction,
as the case may be; (c) the acquisition of all or substantially all the assets
of the Company of any significant subsidiary; (d) the grant by the Company or
any of its significant subsidiaries of an exclusive license for any material
portion of the Company's or such significant subsidiary's intellectual property
to a person other than the Investor or any of its subsidiaries; or (e) any
transaction or series of related transactions that result in the failure of the
majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to
the closing of such transaction or series of related transactions failing to
constitute a majority of the Board of Directors (or its successor) immediately
following such transaction or series of related transactions. See "Part II, Item
2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds."
On February 18, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
of up to 600,000428,000
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. On September 8, 1998,subject to adjustment. The 6% Debentures
are redeemable at the Company's Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. Subsequent to February 18, 1998, the Company has repurchased
604,000 shares of its common stock; thus, 996,000 shares currently remain
available for repurchase. Stock may be acquiredoption, in the open marketwhole or through
negotiated transactions. Under the stock repurchase 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.

ACQUIRED IN-PROCESS TECHNOLOGY
In connection with the acquisitions of AGI and SRI, the Company has not paid dividends on its common stockmade allocations
of the purchase price to various acquired in-process technology projects. These
amounts were expensed as non-recurring charges in the pastquarter ended June 26,
1998 because the acquired in-process technology had not yet reached
technological feasibility and hashad no present intentionfuture alternative uses.
Failure to do socomplete the development of these projects in their entirety, or in a
timely manner, could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operating
results, financial condition and results of operations. No assurance can be
given that actual revenues and operating profit attributable to acquired
in-process technology will not deviate from the projections used to value such
technology in connection with each of the respective acquisitions. On-going
operations and financial results for the acquired technology and the Company as
a whole are subject to a variety of factors which may not have been known or
estimable at the date of such acquisition, and the estimates discussed below
should not be considered the Company's current projections for operating results
for the acquired businesses or the Company as a whole. A description of the
acquired in-process technology and the estimates made by the Company for each of
the technologies is discussed below.
Mid-range Professional Graphics Subsystem (2100). This technology is a
graphics subsystem with built in VGA core and integral DMA engines.
This technology provides superior graphics performance over previous
technologies, and includes features such as stereo and dual monitor
support and various texture memory configurations. The technology is
15
used in the future.AccelGALAXY(TM) product, which was completed and began
shipping to customers in late third quarter of 1998. The cost to
complete this project subsequent to the acquisition of AGI was $0.3
million, $0.1 million over the budgeted amount and was funded by
working capital. The project was also completed a month later than
scheduled. The assigned value to this technology is $6.1 million.
CAD-focused Professional Graphics Subsystem (1200). This technology is
a graphic subsystem with lower costs compared to the mid-range
technology, resulting in a more cost-effective graphics solution for
the end-user. It provides the cost sensitive user with adequate
graphics performance, with few features, and a single texture
configuration option. The technology is used in the E&S Lightning
1200(TM) product, which was completed in March 1999 and began shipping
product to customers in April 1999. The cost to complete this project
subsequent to the acquisition of AGI was $0.5 million, $0.2 million
over the budgeted amount and was funded by working capital. The
project was also completed three months later than scheduled. The
assigned value for this technology is $6.2 million.
Multiple-Controller Graphics Subsystems (2200). This technology is a
high-end graphics subsystem involving the parallel use of two or four
controllers. This technology is aimed at super users in the graphics
area who need significant increases in performance and features to
accomplish their tasks and are willing to pay the increased price
necessary to support those requirements. This technology is in
development with its introduction date under review. As of April 2,
1999, the cost to complete this project subsequent to the acquisition
of AGI was $0.4 million. Management estimates that additional costs to
complete this project will be $0.3 million and it will be completed by
the end of the second quarter of 1999. This project will be funded by
working capital. The assigned value for this technology is $2.7
million.
On-board Geometry Engine Graphics Subsystem (AccelGMX(TM)). This
technology is a mid-range graphics subsystem with a geometry engine on
board. This technology is aimed at the performance intensive graphics
end-user. It has fewer features than the mid-range professional
technology, but faster geometry performance compared to the mid-range
professional technology on Pentium II processors. This technology was
completed in the third quarter of 1998 and the AccelGMX product that
uses this technology began shipping to customers at that time. The cost
to complete this project subsequent to the acquisition of AGI was $0.1
million and was funded by working capital. The assigned value of this
technology was $5.3 million.
The AccelGALAXY has performed below revenue estimates due to the delay
in product introduction by the Company and a delayed design win at one
major OEM. Management is unable to predict the long-term effect of
this one-month delay. Subsequent to the Company's acquisition of AGI,
the developer of the chip used on the AccelGMX also acquired a board
company, Dynamic Pictures, and entered the graphics accelerator market
in direct competition with the AccelGMX. As a result, the AccelGMX has
performed below revenue estimates. The E&S Lightning 1200 performed
below revenue estimates due to the delay in product introduction by
the Company. Management is unable to predict the long-term effect of
this delay.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of 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.(for example, 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 has created a company-wide Year 2000 team to identify and resolve
Year 2000 issues associated either with the Company's internal systems or the
products and services sold by the Company. As part of this effort, the Company
is 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 testingtested its main internal systems and expects to complete
testing in early 1999. Throughout 1998 and 1999 thesystems. The Company expects to complete
implementation of any needed Year 2000-related modifications to its information
systems.systems by mid-1999. The Company ishas also currently assessingassessed its internal non-information
16
technology systems, and expects to complete testing and any needed modifications
to these systems in early 1999.mid-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 the 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 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,Additionally, there can be no guarantee that one or more of the
Company's current Company products do not contain Year 2000 date issues that may result
in material costs to the Company.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The principal market risks to which the Company is exposed are changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. The Company's
international sales, which accounted for 49% of the Company's total sales in the
three months ended April 2, 1999 are concentrated in the United Kingdom,
continental Europe and Asia. The Company manages its exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates by entering into most of its sales and purchase
contracts for products and materials in U.S. dollars. Occasionally, the Company
enters into sales and purchase contracts for products and materials denominated
in currencies other than U.S. dollars and in those cases the Company enters into
foreign exchange forward sales or purchase contracts to offset those exposures.
Foreign currency purchase and sale contracts are entered into for periods
consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions
independent of those exposures. The Company does not enter into contracts for
trading purposes and does not use leveraged contracts. As of April 2, 1999, the
Company had no material sales or purchase contracts in currencies other than
U.S. dollars and had no foreign currency sales or purchase contracts.
The Company reduces its exposure to changes in interest rates by maintaining a
high proportion of its debt in fixed-rate instruments. As of April 2, 1999, 82%
of the Company's total debt was in fixed-rate instruments; however, the Company
has a revolving line of credit that provides for borrowings by the Company of up
to $20.0 million. The borrowings bear interest at a variable rate at the
prevailing prime rate minus 1.0% or the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. If the Company
were to borrow all of the $20.0 million of the revolving line of credit and the
$6.6 million of foreign lines of credit, 40% of the Company's total debt would
be in fixed-rate instruments. In addition, the Company maintains an average
maturity of its short-term investment portfolio under twelve months to avoid
large changes in its market value. As of April 2, 1999, the average maturity of
the Company's short-term investments was approximately nine months.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) On July 21, 1998, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation,
Preferences and Other Rights of the Class B-1 Preferred Stock of the Company
designating 1,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Class B-1 Preferred Stock, no
par value. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Company, holders of the Class B-1 Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive the same cash or other property which the holders
of the Class B-1 Preferred Stock would have received if on such date such Class
B-1 Preferred Stock holders were the holders of record of the number of shares
of common stock into which the shares of Class B-1 Preferred Stock are then
convertible. At any time after July 22, 1998, the Class B-1 Preferred Stock

Stock into shares of common stock at the current effective conversion ratio of
one-for-one, which is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Company's
Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Other Rights of the Class B-1
Preferred Stock. The holders of Class B-1 Preferred Stock have no voting rights.
If any dividend or other distribution payable in cash or other property is
declared on the common stock, the holders of the Class B-1 Preferred Stock on
the record date for such dividend or distribution shall be entitled to receive
on the date of payment or distribution of such dividend or other distribution
the same cash or other property which such holders would have received if on
such record date such holders were the holders of record of the number of shares
of common stock into which the shares of Class B-1 Preferred Stock are then
convertible.
(b) None.
(c) On July 22, the Company issued 901,408 shares of Class B-1 Preferred Stock,
no par value, and warrants to purchase 378,462 shares of the Company's Class B-1
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $33.28125 per share to an "accredited
investor" as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities

to section 4(2) of the Act for transactions not involving a public offering,
based on the fact that the securities were offered and sold to one investor who
had access to financial and other relevant data concerning the Company, its
financial condition, business, and assets. At any time after July 22, 1998, the
Class B-1 Preferred Stock entitles the holders to convert any or all of the
shares of Class B-1 Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at the current
effective conversion ratio of one-for-one, which is subject to adjustment as set
forth in the Company's Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Other Rights
of the Class B-1 Preferred Stock. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources." The
Investor has certain contractual rights, including registration rights, a right
of first refusal, and a right to require the Company to repurchase the 901,408
shares of Class B-1 Preferred Stock, 378,462 shares underlying the warrant, and
shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Class B-1
Preferred Stock (the "Investor Shares") for any transaction qualifying as a
15

transaction own, immediately after such transaction, securities representing
less than 50% of the voting power of the Company, any such significant
subsidiary or the person issuing such securities or surviving such transaction,
as the case may be; (c) the acquisition of all or substantially all the assets
of the Company of any significant subsidiary; (d) the grant by the Company or
any of its significant subsidiaries of an exclusive license for any material
portion of the Company's or such significant subsidiary's intellectual property
to a person other than the Investor or any of its subsidiaries; or (e) any
transaction or series of related transactions that result in the failure of the
majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to
the closing of such transaction or series of related transactions failing to
constitute a majority of the Board of Directors (or its successor) immediately
following such transaction or series of related transactions.
(d) Not required.
