Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On June 26,  1998,  Evans &  Sutherland  Computer  Corporation  ("E&S")
acquired,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary  E&S Merger Corp.,  100% of the
issued  and  outstanding  capital  stock of  AccelGraphics,  Inc.  ("AGI")  (the
"Merger")  pursuant  to the  terms  of an  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger  among
AccelGraphics,   Inc.,  E&S  Merger  Corp.,  and  Evans  &  Sutherland  Computer
Corporation, dated April 22, 1998 (the "Plan of Merger").

         The Merger was consummated  following approval of the Plan of Merger by
the  shareholders  of AGI. The aggregate  purchase price of the  acquisition was
approximately  $54.3 million consisting of approximately (i) 1,109,300 shares of
E&S Common  Stock  (having an  aggregate  market  value of  approximately  $25.7
million  on  June  26,  1998);  (ii)  approximately   $23.7  million  (excluding
transaction  costs) of cash;  (iii)  approximately  $1.0 million in  transaction
costs; and (iv) approximately $3.9 million in outstanding AGI stock options that
were assumed by E&S.

         The purchase  price for AGI  (including  the exchange ratio for the AGI
common  stock) was  determined  through  arms-length  negotiations  between  the
parties.  E&S financed the  acquisition of AGI through the issuance of shares of
E&S Common  Stock  (which  were  registered  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission on Form S-4) and cash on hand. As part of the Merger, all AGI options
to acquire  shares of AGI Common  Stock were  converted  into options to acquire
shares of E&S Common Stock,  except that all AGI options with an exercise  price
greater than $6.00 were  terminated on June 26, 1998. No material  relationships
exist between any of the former AGI  shareholders  and the Company or any of the
Company's affiliates,  directors,  officers, or any associate of any director or
officer of the Company.
