EVANS & SUTHERLAND COMPUTER CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.              SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  This report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended July 2, 2004, should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004.

 

Certain amounts in the 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

 

Our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the first three quarters of 2003 were restated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, in order to correct certain accounting errors.  During our 2003 year-end close process and review of the financial statements of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Evans & Sutherland Computer Limited (“E&S Ltd.”), we identified certain errors in E&S Ltd’s 2003 quarterly financial statements due to the incorrect application of certain accounting principles during the first three quarters of 2003.

 

The effect of the restatement on amounts reported for the second quarter of 2003 decreased sales $6.2 million, decreased cost of sales $3.6 million, increased net loss $2.6 million and increased the loss per share by $0.24.  The effect of the restatement on amounts reported for the first six months of 2003 decreased sales $6.3 million, decreased cost of sales $2.5 million, increased net loss $3.8 million and increased the loss per share $0.36.

 

Adjustments as a result of the restatement have been divided into the following three categories:

 

1.               Early Recognition of Costs.  During 2003, hardware costs were charged to certain long-term projects before the underlying costs were actually incurred.  Because these long-term projects are accounted for under the percentage of completion method, these charges resulted in the recognition of both sales and costs of sales in periods earlier than appropriate.  These overstatements of sales and costs of sales occurred during 2003 and were included in the Company’s previously issued 10-Q filings for the first three quarters of 2003.

 

2.               Overstatement of Program Margins.  During 2003, gross margins on certain long-term projects were recorded in excess of the actual gross margins expected to be realized based upon the percentage of completion revenue recognition method.  This resulted in an overstatement of sales and gross profit during 2003 and was included in the Company’s previously issued 10-Q filings for the first three quarters of 2003.

 

3.               Recognition of Sales and Margin in Excess of Contract Value.  During 2003, hardware costs were charged to certain long-term projects which exceeded the aggregate total estimated costs for completion of each of these projects.  Sales for these projects were recognized using the original ratio of contract value to estimated total costs at project completion.  As a result, underlying project sales were recognized in excess of total contract value.  These overstatements of sales and gross margin were included in the Company’s previously issued 10-Q filings for the first three quarters of 2003.

3.              DEBT

 

Long-term debt consists of approximately $18.0 million of 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due in 2012 (the “6% Debentures”).  The 6% Debentures are unsecured and are convertible at each bondholder’s option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $42.10 or 428,000 shares of our common stock subject to adjustment.  The 6% Debentures are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at par.

 

We have a secured credit facility (the “Foothill Facility”) with Wells Fargo Foothill (“Foothill”) that provides for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit up to $25.0 million.  The Foothill Facility, among other things, (i) requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and covenants, including a minimum combined cash and borrowing availability financial covenant that adjusts each quarter and a limitation of $12.0 million of aggregate capital expenditures in any fiscal year; (ii) restricts our ability to incur debt or liens; sell, assign, pledge, or lease assets; or merge with another company; and (iii) restricts the payment of dividends and repurchase of any of our outstanding shares without the prior consent of Foothill.  As of July 2, 2004, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and ratios.  The Foothill Facility expires in December 2004.

 

Borrowings under the Foothill Facility bear interest at the Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. prevailing prime rate plus 3.0% to 4.5%, depending on the amount outstanding, and at no time will borrowings under the Foothill Facility bear interest at a rate less than 10.25%.  In addition, the Foothill Facility has an unused line fee equal to 0.375% per annum times the difference between $25.0 million and the sum of the average undrawn portion of the borrowings, payable each quarter.  The Foothill Facility provides Foothill with a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets, including, but not limited to, all of our intellectual property.  Pursuant to the terms of the Foothill Facility, all of our cash receipts must be deposited into a Foothill controlled account.

 

Effective June 23, 2004, we amended the Foothill Facility.  This amendment changed the terms of the Foothill Facility such that if we exceed the amount available for letter of credit guarantees, we are required to deposit 105% of the excess with Foothill.  In addition, we deposited $0.8 million with Foothill for the remaining term of the Foothill Facility.

 

As of July 2, 2004, we had no outstanding borrowings and $2.9 million in outstanding financial letters of credit under the Foothill Facility on certain customer contracts.  Our customers can draw against these letters of credit if we fail to meet the performance requirements included in the terms of each letter of credit.  As of July 2, 2004, no amounts had been accrued for any estimated losses under the obligations, as we believe we will perform as required under our contracts.  In addition, as of July 2, 2004, we had $1.6 million deposited in a restricted cash collateral account at Foothill related to letter of credit guarantees, projected amortized reductions in the real-estate based collateral over the remainder of the term of the Foothill Facility, and reserves required by Foothill.

 

In March 2004, Evans & Sutherland Computer Limited (“E&S Ltd.”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, renewed an overdraft facility (the “Overdraft Facility”) with Lloyds TSB Bank plc (“Lloyds”) for borrowings up to $2.5 million.  However, solely at Lloyd’s discretion, E&S Ltd. may be allowed to exceed the $2.5 million limit for a very limited amount of time, as defined by Lloyds at that time.  In addition, borrowings over the $2.5 million limit will bear an interest rate equal to Lloyds’ unauthorized currency borrowing rate, which was 12.0% per annum above Lloyds’ short term offered rate as of the signing of the renewed Overdraft Facility.  The Overdraft Facility expires

 

9



 

December 31, 2004.  Borrowings under the Overdraft Facility bear interest at Lloyds’ short-term offered rate plus 1.75% per annum.  As of July 2, 2004, there were $0.9 million in outstanding borrowings under the Overdraft Facility.  The Overdraft Facility is subject to reduction or demand repayment for any reason at any time at Lloyds’ discretion.  E&S Ltd. executed a letter of negative pledge in favor of Lloyds whereby it agreed not to sell or encumber its assets, except in the ordinary course of business.  Covenants contained in the Overdraft Facility restrict dividend payments from E&S Ltd. and require maintenance of certain financial covenants.  In addition, at July 2, 2004, E&S Ltd. had $0.8 million deposited in a restricted cash collateral account at Lloyds related to the Overdraft Facility to support certain obligations that the bank guarantees.

Net income (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 and the 6% Debentures are considered to be common stock equivalents.

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is the amount of net income (loss) for the period attributable to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is the amount of net income (loss) for the period attributable 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 net loss per common share, net loss per common share was the same for both the basic and diluted calculations for all periods presented because to include common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

 

For the three and six months ended July 2, 2004, outstanding options to purchase 2,542,901 shares of common stock and 428,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6% Debentures were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per common share because to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

 

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2003, outstanding options to purchase 2,541,972 shares of common stock and 428,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6% Debentures were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per common share because to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

6.              LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In May 2003, a claim was made against the Company by RealVision, Inc. relative to matters arising from the sale of a business unit to RealVision, Inc. in 2001.  The parties entered mediation in the fourth quarter of 2003, and continued discussions into 2004.  In March 2004, an agreement was reached under which RealVision will receive a settlement in the amount of $2.4 million of which we paid approximately $0.9 million, with the remainder of the settlement amount being paid by our insurance carrier.

 

As of July 2, 2004, we were aware of no legal claims against the Company.

 

7.              RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

During the first quarter of 2004, we recorded a recovery due to the reversal of previously recorded restructuring charges in the amount of $0.5 million related to favorable cost management in comparison to initial restructuring estimates.  In addition, we paid $1.0 million in severance benefits related to all restructurings occurring over fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001.  The majority of the remaining severance benefits are expected to be paid out over the remainder of this fiscal year.

8.              ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

In June 2004, we sold an office building previously classified as an asset held for sale with a book value of $2.5 million for $8.6 million in cash.  As part of the sale, we entered into a three-year rental guarantee with the buyer, obligating us to make certain monthly payments through June 2007 based on space available for lease in the building we sold.  The maximum amount we may be required to pay over the term of the rental guarantee is $2.6 million consisting of $0.6 million during the remainder of 2004, $1.0 million in 2005, $0.7 million in 2006, and $0.3 million in 2007.  The maximum guarantee is classified as an accrued liability at July 2, 2004.  The maximum rental guarantee may decrease as available space is leased by the buyer, based on terms of the rental guarantee.  To the extent the maximum rental guarantee is reduced, additional gain will be realized.  As of July 2, 2004, 100% of the leaseable space was available.  As a result of the sale, we have initially recognized a gain of $3.5 million.

9.              WARRANTY RESERVES

 

We provide a warranty reserve for estimated future costs of servicing products under warranty agreements usually extending for periods from 90 days to several years.  Anticipated costs for product warranties are based upon estimates derived from experience factors and are recorded as cost of sale at the time of sale or over the contract period for long-term contracts.  As of July 2, 2004, and December 31, 2003, we had reserved approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for estimated warranty claims.  Warranty expense for the three and six months ended July 2, 2004, were $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  Warranty expense for the three and six months ended June 27, 2003, were $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

10.       QUEST FLIGHT TRAINING

 

We have a 50% interest in Quest Flight Training, Ltd. (“Quest”), a joint venture with Quadrant Group Ltd. (“Quadrant”), providing aircrew training services for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (“U.K. MoD”) under a 30-year contract.  In connection with the services of Quest to the U.K. MoD, we guarantee various obligations of Quest.  As of July 2, 2004, we had four guarantees outstanding related to Quest.  Pursuant to the first guarantee, we have guaranteed, jointly and severally with Quadrant, the performance of Quest in relation to its contract with the U.K. MoD.  If Quest fails to meet its obligations under the contract, then we (and Quadrant) are required to perform under the terms of the contract.  Due to the length of the contract and the uncertainty of performance for which we would be liable if Quest fails to perform, we cannot estimate the maximum amount of possible future payments.  This guarantee is in place until 2030.  Pursuant to the second guarantee, we have guaranteed, jointly and severally with Quadrant, up to a maximum amount of £1.0 million ($1.8 million as of July 2, 2004), the performance of Quest, where not subcontracted, and the performance of Quest where subcontracted, and the subcontractor is not liable to meet its obligation due to any limitation of liability in the sub-contract agreement, thus preventing Quest from meeting its obligation under its contract with the U.K. MoD.  This guarantee is in place until 2020.  Pursuant to the third guarantee, we have pledged our equity shares in Quest to guarantee payment by Quest of a loan agreement executed by Quest.  The loan agreement terminates in 2020.  The pledge of our equity shares in Quest will expire at such time as Quest’s obligations under the loan agreement are satisfied or the date on which the loan agreement is otherwise terminated.  In the event of default on this loan agreement, the lending institution can request that the trustee holding such equity shares surrender them to the lending institution in order to satisfy all amounts then outstanding under the loan agreement.  As of July 2, 2004, the outstanding loan balance was £5.0 million ($9.0 million as of July 2, 2004).  Pursuant to the fourth guarantee, we have guaranteed payment, up to a maximum of £0.13 million ($0.2 million as of July 2, 2004), in the event that Quest has a default event, as defined by its loan agreement.  This guarantee is in place until 2020.  As of July 2, 2004, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses under these guarantees because we believe that Quest will meet all of its performance and financial obligations in relation to its contract with the U.K. MoD.  However, if we are required to perform under any or all of the four guarantees, it could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and liquidity.

 

11.       STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

On May 18, 2004, shareholders approved the adoption of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan of Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation (“2004 Plan”), which expires May 18, 2014.  The 2004 Plan is a stock incentive plan that provides for the grant of options and restricted stock awards to employees and for the grant of options to non-employee directors.  In addition, with the adoption of this plan no additional options can be issued under any of the prior stock-based plans as of May 18, 2004.  The 2004 Plan establishes a minimum exercise price for options of 110% of fair market value on the date of grant.  Restricted stock awards may be qualified as a performance-based

 

12



 

award that conditions a participant’s award upon achievement by the Company or its subsidiaries of performance goals established by our Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee.  Prior to May 18, 2004, we had stock incentive plans that provided for the grant of options to employees, officers, consultants, and independent contractors.  We account for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.  No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income as all options granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Employer Contributions

 

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, we did not expect to contribute to either the Pension Plan or the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) in 2004.  In the first six months of 2004, we made no contributions to the Pension Plan.  We anticipate that we will make no contributions to the Pension Plan in the remainder of this fiscal year unless required to do so by statutory funding requirements.  In the first six months of 2004, we contributed $0.2 million to the SERP in order to pay $0.2 million in benefits.  We are not required to fund the SERP and we do not fund it.  All benefit payments are made by us directly to those who receive benefits from the SERP.  As such, these payments are treated as both contributions and benefits paid for reporting purposes.  We anticipate that we will make $0.2 million in contributions to the SERP in the remainder of this fiscal year in order to pay benefits of $0.2 million.

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 10-Q.  Except for the historical information contained herein, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, including, among others, those statements preceded by, followed by, or including the words “estimates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “projects,” or similar expressions.

 

These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

                                                      Our belief that orders will increase in the third quarter.

                                                      Our belief that we will be profitable in the second half of 2004.

                                                      Our belief that the guarantees we issued in connection with the Quest Flight Training Ltd. project will not be called upon for payment or performance.

                                                      Our belief that sales will increase in future quarters as a result of strong second quarter orders as well as orders growth in the second half of 2004.

                                                      Our belief that planetarium sales will continue to be strong.

                                                      Our belief that operating expenses will continue to decrease as development expenditures are reduced and we continue ongoing cost reduction actions.

                                                      Our belief that cash from operations will be approximately at breakeven for the remainder of 2004.

                                                      Our belief that the letters of credit under the Foothill Facility will not be drawn against as we believe we will perform as required under the related contracts.

                                                      Our belief that existing cash, restricted cash, borrowings available under our various borrowing facilities, the sale of a building in June 2004, and expected cash from future operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital needs, routine capital expenditures and current debt service obligations for the next twelve months.

                                                      Our belief that the early orders for our laser projector product will be delivered in 2005 and 2006.

 

These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.  Recent trends are not necessarily reliable indicators of future stock prices or financial performance and there can be no assurance that the events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report will, in fact, occur.  For further information, refer to the business description and additional risk factors sections included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Orders were stronger in the second quarter of 2004, increasing 33% from the first quarter of 2004 and contributing to an increase in backlog.  However, a substantial portion of the orders came late in the second quarter and, consequently, did not contribute to second quarter sales or gross profit.  Nevertheless, our net loss for the second quarter of 2004 narrowed from the first quarter of 2004.

 

We completed the sale of a building which we no longer needed for operations, and the gain on that sale was included in the second quarter results.  Most of this gain was offset by expenses incurred during the quarter to begin pre-production of our laser projector.  Early orders for the laser projector have recently been announced for delivery in 2005 and 2006.

 

Cash on hand increased during the second quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2004, enabling us to eliminate all short term debt just after the end of the period.

 

We expect orders to increase in the third quarter, leading to profitability in the second half of 2004.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

We produce high-quality visual systems used to display images of the real world rapidly and accurately.  We are widely regarded as both a pioneer and a leader in providing the world’s most realistic visual systems.  We design, manufacture, market and support visual systems for simulation with solutions that meet the training requirements for a wide range of military and commercial applications.  We also provide this leading-edge visual system technology and experience to planetariums, science centers, and entertainment venues.  We develop and deliver a complete line of image generators, displays, databases, services and support products that match technology to customer requirements.  Our products and solutions range from the desktop PC to what we believe are the most advanced visual simulation systems in the world.

 

We operate as one business; providing visual simulation solutions to an international customer base.  Our simulation solutions can be categorized into five customer markets:  military simulation, commercial simulation, strategic visualization, digital theater, and service & support.

 

Military Simulation

 

We offer a complete range of visual simulation solutions for all types of military vehicle training.  We provide high-performance image generators (IGs), display systems, and visual databases for ground-based warfare, helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft, and ship bridge simulators.  In addition, we are developing complete training systems for military tactics and command training.

 

Commercial Simulation

 

In civil aviation, we provide visual systems to almost every major airline and aircraft manufacturer in the world.  We offer a full range of FAA (and international equivalent JAA) approved solutions for Level D, Level C, Level A/B, and desktop training, as well as upgrades for existing systems.

 

Strategic Visualization

 

We apply breakthrough technologies and capabilities originally developed for training simulation to provide rapidly generated visualization databases and services to the world’s military operations, intelligence, and training communities for mission planning, preview, rehearsal, damage assessment, or other highly time-sensitive purposes.

 

Digital Theater

 

We develop systems that transform our simulation technology into 360-degree domed and large format theater experiences.  This technology allows audiences to enter full-color, computer-generated worlds and interact with them.  In addition to providing theater systems for planetariums, science centers, themed attraction venues, and premium large-format theaters, we develop, market, and license a variety of show content.

 

Service & Support

 

We provide a full range of pre- and post-sales support for our products, including customized long-term support programs; on-site installation, maintenance, and repair; and maintenance training for customers.  Distribution centers and support staff are strategically located in the U.S. and U.K. to ensure timely, responsive service.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements.  Their application places significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.  A summary of significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.  For all of these policies, management cautions that future results rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

 

16



 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from long-term contracts requiring significant production, modification and customization is recorded using the percentage-of-completion method.  This method uses the ratio of costs incurred to management’s estimate of total anticipated costs.  Our estimates of total costs include assumptions, such as man-hours to complete, estimated materials cost, and estimates of other direct and indirect costs.  Actual results may vary significantly from our estimates.  If the actual costs are higher than management’s anticipated total costs, then an adjustment is required to reduce the previously recognized revenue as the ratio of costs incurred to management’s estimate was overstated.  If actual costs are lower than management’s anticipated total costs, then an adjustment is required to increase the previously recognized revenue as the ratio of costs incurred to management’s estimate is understated.

 

Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts and Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

 

Billings on uncompleted long-term contracts may be greater than or less than incurred costs and estimated earnings.  As a result, these differences are recorded as an asset or liability on the balance sheets.  Since revenue recognized on these long-term contracts includes estimates of management’s anticipated total costs, the amounts in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts also include these estimates.

 

Inventories

 

Inventory includes materials at standard costs, which approximates average costs, as well as inventoried costs on programs (including material, labor, subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs).  We periodically review inventories for excess supply, obsolescence, and valuations above estimated realizable amounts, and then provide a reserve we consider sufficient to cover these items.  Reserve adequacy is based on estimates of future sales, product pricing, and requirements to complete projects.  Revisions of these estimates would result in adjustments to our operating results.

 

Accrued Liabilities

 

Accrued liabilities include amounts for liquidated damages and late delivery penalties.  While current contracts could include additional liquidated damages and late delivery penalties, we have included all amounts we believe the Company is liable for as of July 2, 2004.  These liquidated damages are based primarily on estimates of project completion dates.  To the extent completion dates are not consistent with our estimates, these damage and penalty accruals may require additional adjustments.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We specifically analyze accounts receivables and consider historic experience, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, current economic trends, and payment term changes when evaluating adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Changes in these factors could result in material adjustments to the expense recognized for bad debts.

 

Income Taxes

 

As part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our actual income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.  This involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items, such as accrued liabilities, for tax and accounting purposes.  These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance.  To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, we must include a corresponding adjustment within the tax provision in the statement of

 

17



 

operations.  Significant management judgment is required to determine our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets.

 

Restatement of Quarterly 2003 Financial Statements

 

The financial data in this Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2003 have been restated from the amounts previously reported on our Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2003, for the correction of certain accounting errors. This restatement was originally reported in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.  All information presented in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects the restatement.

 

The effect of the restatement on amounts reported for the second quarter of 2003 decreased sales $6.2 million, decreased cost of sales $3.6 million, increased net loss $2.6 million and increased the loss per share by $0.24.  The effect of the restatement on amounts reported for the first six months of 2003 decreased sales $6.3 million, decreased cost of sales $2.5 million, increased net loss $3.8 million and increased the loss per share $0.36.

 

Background on the Restatement. During our 2003 year-end close process and review, we discovered certain errors that affected our previously issued quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the first three quarters of 2003. Accordingly, our 2003 quarterly unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated.

 

The adjustments reflected in the restatement resulted from the incorrect application of certain accounting principles at our wholly-owned subsidiary, Evans & Sutherland Computer Limited, that we determined were in error as a result of our in depth review of all aspects of the matter.

 

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003, including an in-depth review into several accounting issues that arose in connection with the restatement, as more specifically described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.  Following our in depth review, we concluded that there were material weaknesses in our control environment.  Part I, Item 4 of this Form 10-Q provides a description of actions we have taken in the first six months of 2004 to improve our internal controls and procedures.

Results of Operations Summary

 

Our second quarter 2004 results of operations were mixed as expected.  Sales were down compared to the prior quarter but showed an increase over the second quarter of 2003.  We saw significant growth in our commercial market and our planetarium sales remained at robust levels.  While we also saw gross margin improvement from reduced warranty and product support expenditures, our overall gross profit percentage decreased as a result of large, low-margin, pass-through deliveries made in the second quarter of 2004.  Our operating expenses have decreased due to restructuring actions taken last year and continuing cost reductions in 2004; however, much of the expense reduction was offset by development expenditures related to our laser projector.  We also sold a building during the second quarter of 2004.  We expect sales to increase in future quarters as a result of second quarter orders as well as orders growth in the second half of 2004.

 

Second Quarter 2004 compared to Second Quarter 2003

 

Consolidated Sales and Gross Margin

 

Our total sales were $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared with $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2003.  This increase was primarily the result of greater sales in our commercial market driven by increases in both demand and deliveries of our EP product.  This increase was partially offset by some shrinkage in the military market.  Sales of our planetarium systems decreased slightly but remained robust as a result of strong demand for our new Digistar 3 product.  We expect this strong sales trend of our planetarium systems to continue.  Our service and support sales increased slightly in the second quarter of 2004 as a result of a large delivery.

 

Our gross margin decreased to 34.9% in the second quarter of 2004, compared with 38.0% in the second quarter of 2003.  This decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a change in product mix in our military market.  During the second quarter of 2004 significant deliveries were made on large military contracts with a high proportion of subcontract pass-through sales resulting in lower gross margins.  In addition, our planetarium products also experienced a gross margin decrease as a result of a unique, high-margin delivery during the second quarter of 2003.  The gross margin decreases were partially offset by a slight increase in our commercial and service and support gross margins and significant reductions in both our product support and warranty costs.

 

Operating Expenses, Other and Taxes

 

Our operating expenses were $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared with $12.0 million during the second quarter of 2003.  Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $0.9 million primarily as a result of lower labor costs.  Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $0.1 million as a result of increased development expenditures on our new laser projector product.  We expect operating expenses to continue to decrease as development expenditures are reduced and we continue ongoing cost reduction actions.

 

During the second quarter of 2004, we recognized a gain on assets held for sale of $3.5 million on the sale of a building.  During the second quarter of 2003, we recognized a gain on assets held for sale of $1.4 million on the sale of a building.

 

Our other income (expense) was $0.3 million of net expense in the second quarter of 2004, down from $0.5 million of net expense in the second quarter of 2003.   This decrease was primarily a result of lower interest on lower debt levels and a gain from the sale of investment securities.

 

Our income tax expense was $0.1 million during both the second quarter of 2004 and second quarter of 2003.

First Two Quarters of 2004 compared to First Two Quarters of 2003

 

Consolidated Sales and Gross Margin

 

Our total sales were $34.6 million in the first two quarters of 2004, compared with $38.6 million in the first two quarters of 2003.  This decrease was primarily the result of a continued shrinkage in the military market.  The first two quarters of 2003 also contained significant deliveries on a large military program.  Sales of our planetarium systems decreased slightly but remained robust as a result of strong demand for our new products.  We expect this strong sales trend of our planetarium systems to continue.  Our service and support sales also decreased slightly in the first two quarters of 2004.  These sales decreases were significantly offset by greater sales in our commercial markets driven by increases in both demand and deliveries of our EP product.

 

Our gross profit percentage increased to 36.8% in the first two quarters of 2004, compared with (2.3%) in the first two quarters of 2003.  This increase in gross profit percentage was primarily driven by a $14.6 million dollar inventory impairment loss taken in the first two quarters of 2003, related primarily to our Harmony 1 product.  Our gross margin related to products sold to military customers was negatively impacted due to a change in product mix in 2004.  Significant deliveries were made on large military contracts with a high proportion of pass-through sales, resulting in lower gross margins.  Our gross margin related to our planetarium products has also experienced a slight decrease as result of two unique, high-margin deliveries during the first two quarters of 2003.  Our overall gross margin related to products sold to commercial customers has increased as a result of favorable program cost performance and program cost closeouts.  In addition, we have experienced significant reductions in warranty costs due to warranty coverage of many of our Harmony 1 products ending in or before 2004 and due to various non-related warranty incurred charges during 2003.

 

Operating Expenses, Other and Taxes

 

Our operating expenses were $20.8 million in the first two quarters of 2004, compared with $28.7 million during the first two quarters of 2003.  SG&A expenses decreased by $2.0 million primarily as a result of lower labor costs.  R&D expenses decreased $3.0 million due to lower labor costs related to Harmony and EP product development efforts.  These reductions were partially offset by higher development expenditures related to our laser projector product as we prepare to set up for manufacturing, and additional expenditures related to the development of our EP/EPX products.  We expect operating expenses to continue to decrease as development expenditures are reduced and we continue our ongoing cost reduction actions.

 

During the first two quarters of 2004, we recorded a gain on our previous restructuring charges in the amount of $0.5 million related to favorable cost management in comparison to initial restructuring estimates.  During the first two quarters of 2003, we recorded a restructuring charge of $1.3 million related to a reduction in force of approximately 45 employees to reduce operating costs.

 

During the first two quarters of 2003, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.2 million on development and demonstration assets related to our Harmony 1 product.

 

During the first two quarters of 2004, we recognized a gain on assets held for sale of $3.5 million on the sale of a building.  During the first two quarters of 2003, we recognized a gain on assets held for sale of $1.4 million on the sale of a building.

 

During the first two quarters of 2004 we recognized a gain on the sale of assets in the amount of $0.2 million as a result of favorable cost management in comparison to initial cost estimates.

 

Our other income (expense) was $0.8 million of net expense in the first two quarters of 2004, compared to $1.3 million of net expense in the first two quarters of 2003.  This $0.5 million expense reduction is attributable to lower interest expense as a result of lower debt levels as well as the gain on the sale of investment securities.

 

Our income tax expense was $0.1 million during the first two quarters of 2004, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million during the first two quarters of 2003.  The income tax benefit during the first two quarters of 2003

 

20



 

was the result of a change in the tax law which allowed us to use additional net operating losses to offset taxable income.  We expect the income tax expense for the remainder of 2004 to be approximately $0.1 million.

In the first six months of 2004, our net cash flow was positive. Our operations provided cash that was used to pay down our accounts payable. This was accomplished despite a $5.3 million loss for this period.  The sale of one of our buildings in the second quarter of 2004 enabled us to further pay down our borrowings on our lines of credit. We continue to expect cash from operations to be approximately at breakeven for the remainder of the year.

(See the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow in Part I Financial Information of this Form 10-Q)

 

In the first six months of 2004, cash provided by our operating activities was mainly attributable to an $8.4 million reduction in accounts receivable, $3.6 million reduction in net costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, $1.2 million reduction in inventory, and $2.7 million in depreciation and amortization.  These were offset by a $5.3 million net loss and non cash charges primarily consisting of a $3.8 million in gains and $0.5 million in recovery of prior restructure charges, a $2.5 million decrease in accounts payable, a $2.3 million decrease in accrued liabilities, a $1.1 million decrease in customer deposits and a $0.9 million increase in other assets.  Accounts receivable decreased due to significant collections on several large contracts, decreasing overall sales, and a decrease of $1.2 million in our United Kingdom value added tax receivable.  Net costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts decreased primarily as a result of converting costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts into invoicing.  Inventory decreased mainly due to a reduction in the work-in-process inventory as contracts have been completed and delivered.  Accounts payable decreased as we further reduced our outstanding trade payables.  Accrued liabilities decreased mainly due to $0.9 million in payments related to prior year restructuring charges, $0.6 million reduction in our United Kingdom value added tax payable, and $1.1 million reduction in our accrual related to a settlement agreement with one of our customers as we met the a majority of the terms of the settlement agreement.  These decreases were offset by an

 

21



 

increase of $1.0 million for payroll accruals at the end of the quarter.  Customer deposits decreased as orders were turned into sales and new customer deposits did not offset this reduction.  Other assets increased as a result of a security deposit required in relation to the rent guarantee agreement we entered into.

 

In the first six months of 2003, cash used in our operating activities was mainly attributable to $29.4 million net loss, decreases in accrued liabilities of $3.3 million, accounts payable of $1.7 million, and an increase in inventory of $1.2 million after adjusting for impairments.  This was offset by non-cash charges primarily consisting of $16.2 million related to asset impairments, $3.7 million related to depreciation and amortization, and $1.3 million related to restructuring charges.  Also, offsetting cash used were decreases in net costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on completed projects of $10.8 million and in accounts receivable of $2.1 million.  Accrued liabilities decreased due to restructure payments and warranty claims.  Accounts payable decreased due to efforts to reduce our trade payables.  Inventory increased due to required raw materials and an increase in work-in-process related to program costs.  Net costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on completed projects decreased as a result of converting costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on completed contracts into invoicing and due to increasing billings (invoicing) in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.  Accounts receivable decreased as a result of additional collections on two of the six large, fixed-price defense contracts that used our Harmony 1 image generator that have in previous years had longer than average agings.

 

In the first six months of 2004, cash provided by our investing activities was primarily due to $8.3 million in proceeds from the sale of a building classified as an asset held for sale.  This was offset partially by $1.4 million primarily used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment.  In the first six months of 2003, cash provided by our investing activities was primarily due to $4.8 million in proceeds from the sale of a building classified as an asset held for sale.  This was offset partially by $1.8 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

 

In the first six months of 2004, cash used by our financing activities was primarily due to our efforts to reduce our outstanding borrowings on our lines of credit and an increase in restricted cash used to support future issuances of new letters of credit. In the first six months of 2003, cash provided by our financing activities was due to $2.2 million in restricted cash becoming unrestricted, offset by efforts to reduce our outstanding borrowings on our lines of credit.

 

Credit Facilities

 

We have in place two lines of credit that allow us to bridge the gap, if any, between our daily cash requirements and the cash we have on hand, as well as to provide the ability to issue letters of credit.  The ability to issue letters of credit has become more important to our business as sales in other countries other than North America and Western Europe have grown and become a larger percentage of our gross sales.  Letters of credit in many of these countries are required as part of any final contract.

 

We have a secured credit facility (the “Foothill Facility”) with Wells Fargo Foothill (“Foothill”) that provides for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit up to an aggregate of $25.0 million.  The original secured credit facility agreement was put into place in December 2000 and has been amended in subsequent periods.  The Foothill Facility, among other things, (i) requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and covenants, including a minimum combined cash and borrowing availability amount and a limitation of $12.0 million of aggregate capital expenditures in any fiscal year; (ii) restricts our ability to incur debt or liens; sell, assign, pledge, or lease assets; or merge with another company; and (iii) restricts the payment of dividends and repurchase of any of our outstanding shares without the prior consent of Foothill.  As of July 2, 2004, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and ratios.  The Foothill Facility expires in December 2004.

 

Borrowings under the Foothill Facility bear interest at the Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. prevailing prime rate plus 3.0% to 4.5%, depending on the amount outstanding, and at no time will borrowings under the Foothill Facility bear interest at a rate less than 10.25%.  In addition, the Foothill Facility has an unused line fee equal to 0.375% per annum times the difference between $25.0 million and the sum of the average undrawn portion of the borrowings, payable each quarter.  The Foothill Facility provides Foothill with a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets, including, but not limited to, all of our intellectual property.  Pursuant to the terms of the Foothill Facility, all of our cash receipts must be deposited into a Foothill controlled account.

 

22



 

Effective June 23, 2004, we amended the Foothill Facility.  This amendment changed the terms of the Foothill Facility such that if we exceed the amount available for letter of credit guarantees, we are required to deposit 105% of the excess with Foothill.  In addition, we deposited $0.8 million with Foothill for the remaining term of the Foothill Facility.

 

As of July 2, 2004 we had no outstanding borrowings under the Foothill Facility and $3.7 million in outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2003 under the Foothill Facility.  As of July 2, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we had $2.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in outstanding financial letters of credit under the Foothill Facility on certain customer contracts.  Our customers can draw against these letters of credit if we fail to meet the performance requirements included in the terms of each letter of credit.  As of July 2, 2004, no amounts had been accrued for any estimated losses under the obligations, as we believe we will perform as required under our contracts.  In addition, as of July 2, 2004, we had $1.6 million deposited in a restricted cash collateral account at Foothill related to letter of credit guarantees, projected amortized reductions in the real estate based collateral over the remainder of the term of the Foothill Facility, and reserves required by Foothill.   As of July 30, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings, and outstanding letters of credit were $3.7 million.

 

In March 2004, Evans & Sutherland Computer Limited (“E&S Ltd.”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, renewed an overdraft facility (the “Overdraft Facility”) with Lloyds TSB Bank plc (“Lloyds”) for borrowings up to $2.5 million.  However, solely at Lloyd’s discretion, E&S Ltd. may be allowed to exceed the $2.5 million limit for a very limited amount of time, as defined by Lloyds at that time.  In addition, borrowings over the $2.5 million limit will bear an interest rate of equal to Lloyds’ unauthorized currency borrowing rate, which was 12.0% per annum above Lloyds’ short term offered rate as of the signing of the renewed Overdraft Facility.  The Overdraft Facility expires December 31, 2004.  Borrowings under the Overdraft Facility bear interest at Lloyds’ short-term offered rate plus 1.75% per annum.  As of July 2, 2004 and December 31, 2003, there were $0.9 million in outstanding borrowings.  The Overdraft Facility is subject to reduction or demand repayment for any reason at any time at Lloyds’ discretion.  E&S Ltd. executed a letter of negative pledge in favor of Lloyds whereby it agreed not to sell or encumber its assets, except in the ordinary course of business.  Covenants contained in the Overdraft Facility restrict dividend payments from E&S Ltd. and require maintenance of certain financial covenants.  In addition, at July 2, 2004, E&S Ltd. had $0.8 million deposited in a restricted cash collateral account at Lloyds related to the Overdraft Facility to support certain obligations that the bank guarantees.  As of July 30, 2004, there were $0.2 million in outstanding borrowings.

 

Other Information

 

As of July 2, 2004, we had $18.0 million of 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due in 2012 (the “6% Debentures”).  The 6% Debentures are unsecured and are convertible at each bondholder’s option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $42.10 or 428,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment. The 6% Debentures are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at par.

 

As of July 2, 2004, we had a rental guarantee obligation committing us to payments over a period of three years for a maximum amount of $2.6 million.  However, terms of the rental guarantee provide conditions that can reduce this obligation over the term of the agreement.  Assuming we are obligated for the maximum amount of $2.6 million, we would expect to make payments of $0.6 million over the remainder of 2004, $1.0 million in 2005, $0.7 million in 2006, and $0.3 million in 2007.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, we settled a claim against the Company by RealVision, Inc. by making a payment of approximately $0.9 million to RealVision, Inc. and our insurance carrier making a payment of approximately $1.5 million to RealVision, Inc., a total settlement of $2.4 million.  This settlement was related to matters arising from the sale of a business unit to RealVision, Inc. in 2001.

 

On February 18, 1998, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 600,000 shares of our 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, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.  On July 30, 2004, 463,500 shares remained available for repurchase.  No shares were repurchased during 2003 or during the first six months of 2004.  Stock may be acquired on the open market or through negotiated transactions.  Under the program, repurchases may be made from time to

 

23



 

time, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors.  The Foothill Facility requires that we obtain prior consent from Foothill before we repurchase any shares.

 

We also maintain trade credit arrangements with certain of our suppliers.  The unavailability of a significant portion of, or the loss of, our various borrowing facilities or trade credit from suppliers would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

 

In the event our various borrowing facilities were to become unavailable, we were unable to make timely deliveries of products pursuant to the terms of various agreements with third parties, or certain of our contracts were adversely impacted for failure to meet delivery requirements, we may be unable to meet our anticipated working capital needs, routine capital expenditures, and current debt service obligations on a short-term and long-term basis.

 

We believe that the principal sources of liquidity for 2004 will result from positive cash flow related to the restructurings that have taken place in prior years, other cost cutting measures, and the sale of a building in June 2004, designated as asset held for sale.  Circumstances that could materially affect liquidity in 2004 include, but are not limited to, the following:  (i) our ability to successfully develop and produce new technologies and products, (ii) our ability to meet our forecasted sales levels during 2004, (iii) our ability to reduce costs and expenses, and (iv) our ability to maintain our commercial simulation business in light of current economic conditions.

 

We believe that existing cash, restricted cash, borrowings available under our various borrowing facilities, the sale of a certain building sold in June 2004, and expected cash from future operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital needs, routine capital expenditures and current debt service obligations for the next twelve months.  As of July 2, 2004, our total indebtedness was $18.9 million.  The Foothill Facility expires in December 2004 and the Overdraft Facility expires on December 31, 2004.  If these credit facilities continue to be needed beyond their respective expiration dates, we will attempt to replace them; however, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in renegotiating our existing borrowing facilities or obtaining additional debt or equity financing.  Our cash and restricted cash, subject to various restrictions previously set forth, are available for working capital needs, capital expenditures, strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions, stock repurchases, and other potential cash needs as they may arise.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As part of our ongoing business, we normally do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which can be established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

However, we have a 50% interest in Quest Flight Training, Ltd., a joint venture with Quadrant Group Ltd., providing aircrew training services for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence under a 30-year contract.   We account for this investment using the equity method.   In connection with the services of Quest to the U.K. MoD, we guarantee various obligations of Quest.  As of July 2, 2004, we had four guarantees outstanding related to Quest.  Pursuant to the first guarantee, we have guaranteed, jointly and severally with Quadrant, the performance of Quest in relation to its contract with the U.K. MoD.  If Quest fails to meet its obligations under the contract, then we (and Quadrant) are required to perform under the terms of the contract.  Due to the length of the contract and the uncertainty of performance for which we would be liable if Quest fails to perform, we cannot estimate the maximum amount of possible future payments.  This guarantee is in place until 2030.  Pursuant to the second guarantee, we have guaranteed, jointly and severally with Quadrant, up to a maximum amount of £1.0 million ($1.8 million as of July 2, 2004), the performance of Quest, where not subcontracted, and the performance of Quest where subcontracted, and the subcontractor is not liable to meet its obligation due to any limitation of liability in the sub-contract agreement, thus preventing Quest from meeting its obligation under its contract with the U.K. MoD.  This guarantee is in place until 2020.  Pursuant to the third guarantee, we have pledged our equity shares in Quest to guarantee payment by Quest of a loan agreement executed by Quest.  The loan agreement terminates in 2020.  The pledge of our equity shares in Quest will expire at such time as Quest’s obligations under the loan agreement are satisfied or the date on which the loan agreement is otherwise terminated.  In the event of default on this loan agreement, the lending institution can request that the trustee holding such equity shares surrender them to the lending institution in order to satisfy all amounts then outstanding under the loan agreement.  As of July 2, 2004, the

 

24



 

outstanding loan balance was £5.0 million ($9.0 million).  Pursuant to the fourth guarantee, we have guaranteed payment, up to a maximum of £0.13 million ($0.2 million), in the event that Quest has a default event, as defined by its loan agreement.  This guarantee is in place until 2020.  As of July 2, 2004, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses under these guarantees because we believe that Quest will meet all of its performance and financial obligations in relation to its contract with the U.K. MoD.  However, if we are required to perform under any or all of the four guarantees, it could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and liquidity.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

 

In the first six months of 2004 we experienced a material change in our contractual obligations due to a contract we entered into guaranteeing rents on the building we sold in June 2004.  This contract obligates us to pay a maximum amount of $2.6 million over three years.  The amount we are obligated to pay may be reduced over the three year contract based on the reduction of space available for rent.  As a result, our contractual obligations increased compared to what we reported in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The maximum we are obligated to pay pursuant to the rent guarantee contract in the remainder of 2004 is approximately $0.6 million.  The maximum we are obligated to pay pursuant to the rent guarantee contract in the period covering 2005 to 2007 is approximately $2.0 million.

Item 3.                              QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The principal market risks to which we are exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.  Our international sales, which accounted for 60% of our total sales in the six months ended July 2, 2004, are concentrated in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Asia.  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.  We do not enter into contracts for trading purposes and do not use leveraged contracts.  As of July 2, 2004, we had eight material sales contracts in Euros with approximately $2.0 million remaining to invoice and collect, one material sales contract in GBP with approximately $0.1 million remaining to invoice and collect, and no foreign currency derivative contracts.

 

We reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates by maintaining a high proportion of our debt in fixed-rate instruments.  As of July 2, 2004, 95% of our total debt was in fixed-rate instruments. Had we fully drawn on our $25 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Foothill and our foreign line of credit, 40% of our total debt would be in fixed-rate instruments.

 

The information below summarizes our market risks associated with debt obligations as of July 2, 2004.  Fair values have been determined by quoted market prices.  For debt obligations, the table below presents the principal cash flows and related interest rates by fiscal year of maturity.  Bank borrowings bear variable rates of interest and the 6% Debentures bear a fixed rate of interest. The information below should be read in conjunction with Note 3 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this quarterly report.

Item 4.           CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003.  Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Evaluation of our internal controls and procedures related to the restatement.    Our evaluation of our internal controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003 included an in-depth review of all aspects of the matter of certain material weaknesses we identified in the internal controls and procedures of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Evans & Sutherland Computer Limited (“E&S Ltd.”) as more fully disclosed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2003, and an in depth review of all aspects of the matter by the Audit Committee.  Based on all information gathered during our in depth review of all aspects of the matter, we concluded that our accounting, financial reporting and internal control functions needed improvement, including our system of documenting transactions.

 

Actions taken in response to our evaluation.  As a result of our findings described above, during the first quarter of 2004, we implemented the following improvements to our internal control procedures and our disclosure controls

 

26



 

and procedures to address the issues we identified in our evaluation of these controls and procedures and those of our subsidiary, E&S Ltd.:

 

                  We altered our reporting structure so that the finance director of E&S Ltd. reports directly to our chief financial officer.

 

                  We appointed a Director of Internal Control whose primary responsibilities are to oversee the establishment of formalized policies and procedures throughout our organization and to document and assess our system of internal controls.

 

                  We instituted new procedures around our quarterly reporting processes whereby significant accounting issues are discussed and documented, reviewed with our external auditors and the Audit Committee, formally approved by our management, and given timely effect in our books and records.

 

In addition, during the second quarter of 2004, we implemented and continue to implement the following improvements to our internal control procedures and our disclosure controls and procedures to address the issues we identified in our evaluation of these controls and procedures and those of our subsidiary, E&S Ltd.:

 

                  We continue to establish new internal control processes to remedy the problems identified.

 

                  We continue to examine our procedures for quarter-end analysis of balance sheet and income statement accounts, period-end reconciliations of subsidiary ledgers, and the correction of reconciling items in a timely manner.  In those areas where we identify weaknesses we address with specific action items designed to eliminate the weaknesses.  We also continue to enhance our accounting documentation policies.

 

                  We are implementing the financial controls and procedures employed by E&S at our subsidiary, E&S Ltd., whereby monthly sales audit schedules are reconciled to the general ledger

 

                  We have begun reconciling, on a monthly basis, operational assessments of the status of completion of each contract program and the financial accounting and reporting of such status.

 

We believe that our internal controls and procedures and our disclosure controls and procedures have now been improved due to the scrutiny of such controls and procedures by management and the Audit Committee. We believe our internal controls and procedures and our disclosure controls and procedures will continue to improve as we complete the implementation of the actions described above.  It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

As of the end of the quarter ended July 2, 2004, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.

 

Other than as described above, during the quarter ended July 2, 2004, there have been no significant changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.                              LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the normal course of business, we have various other legal claims and other contingent matters.  Although the final outcome of such matters cannot be predicted, we believe the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.

 

Item 4.                              SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 

We held our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 18, 2004.  We solicited proxies for the meeting pursuant to Regulation 14A.  At the meeting, our shareholders voted on the following:

 

1)              To re-elect two directors to our Board of Directors, Mr. David J. Coghlan, and Mr. James R. Oyler, to fill positions having a term expiring in 2007,

3)              To ratify KPMG LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and promises of the Parties set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE; ASSIGNMENT OF GROUND LEASE.  Subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller the Improvements and the Personal Property.  Subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to assign to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to assume all of Seller’s right, title, interest and obligations in and under the Ground Lease.

 

2.                                       PURCHASE PRICE.

 

2.1                                 The Purchase Price.  The total consideration to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Improvements and the Personal Property and the Seller’s right, title, interest and obligations in and under the Ground Lease shall be Eight Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,600,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”).  The Purchase Price, less the Earnest Money [defined later] deposited in escrow pursuant to Section 2.2 below and plus or minus prorations as hereinafter provided, shall be paid in cash at Closing [defined later].

 

2.2                                 Earnest Money.

 

2.2.1                        Buyer shall, within twenty four (24) hours of receipt of one (1) fully-executed original of this Agreement, deposit the sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) with Escrow Holder [defined later] as earnest money to be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing.  This sum, plus sums referred to in Section 2.2.2, are referred to in this Agreement as the “Earnest Money”.  Wherever this Agreement refers to the “Earnest Money”, such reference shall be deemed to refer to the actual amount of Earnest Money deposited (or to be deposited) as the context requires.

 

2.2.2                        Additional Earnest Money.  Upon the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period [defined later] (the “Additional Deposit Date”), Buyer shall deposit an additional One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit”) with Escrow Agent, such that the total Earnest Money deposited with Escrow Agent at that point shall be equal to One Fifty Hundred Thousand One Dollars ($150,000.00).  Upon the Additional Deposit Date, the entire Earnest Money Deposit and Additional Deposit shall become absolutely non-refundable to Buyer and shall be deemed fully earned by Seller (the “Non-refundable Deposit”).

 

2.2.3                        The Earnest Money is absolutely non-refundable except to the limited extent provided in Sections 3.1.3 (dealing with Buyer’s determination whether all conditions are satisfactory to Buyer), 3.2.6 (dealing with title), 3.4 (dealing with the estoppel certificate), 3.5 (dealing with mutual conditions precedent), 3.6 (dealing with the financing contingency), 6.4 (dealing with environmental investigations), 8 (dealing with condemnation and casualty) and in Section 10.1 of this Agreement (dealing with certain defaults of Seller).

3.1                                 General Conditions and Inspections.

 

3.1.1                        Seller shall provide, within ten (10) business days after execution of this Agreement by both Parties, the following (collectively, the “Seller’s Disclosures”): (a) copies of the Ground Lease and any amendments, assignments, modifications and letter agreements thereto, currently in effect with respect to the Property; (b) a copy of the ALTA Survey for the Property, dated January 18, 2001, revised February 14, 2001 and stamped by the engineer on February 27, 2001, prepared by Bush & Gudgell, in Seller’s possession; (c) copies of any architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical plans and/or drawings for the Improvements which are in Seller’s possession; (d) legible copies of all service contracts relative to the Property which Seller has engaged in and which are in Seller’s possession; (e) legible copies of applicable tax bills in Seller’s possession with respect to the Property; provided, however, because the Personal Property is not separated on a single tax bill, Seller shall provide property tax information regarding the Personal Property as calculated by Seller from applicable tax bills for such items; (f) an inventory list of all the Personal Property available for conveyance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (g) copies of any environmental reports, soils studies or related reports with respect to the Property which are in Seller’s possession; (h) copies of any warranties for the Improvements or the Personal Property which are in Seller’s possession; (i) copies of all licenses and permits, including any governmental approvals, with respect to the Property which are in Seller’s possession; and (j) copies of building operating expense statements for the last twenty-four (24) months during which Seller occupied more than seventy five percent (75%) of the building; (k) records of any building maintenance and/or installation of equipment and/or capital improvements records in Seller’s possession which may have occurred during the past three (3) years to the extent such can be separated from Seller’s general maintenance records; and (l) a statement from Seller specifying what improvements, fixtures, equipment and other personal property located on or at the Property, other than the real property interest of Master Landlord and the reversionary interest of Master Landlord under the Ground Lease, are owned by Master Landlord or any third parties.  Any items or information delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.1.1 are delivered without any representation or warranty as to accuracy or completeness thereof.  As used in this Agreement, the term “in Seller’s

 

3



 

possession” shall mean in the files for the Property of the Seller’s Facility Manager, Bruce Lyman, as of the date of this Agreement, which files are currently located at 600 Komas Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

3.1.2                        During the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on the date which is thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Inspection Contingency Period”), Buyer and its agents shall (subject to obtaining Master Landlord’s approval with respect to the Property) have the right, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to (a) inspect the Seller’s Disclosures; (b) make such inquiries and investigations regarding the zoning and permitted uses of the Property with applicable governmental authorities, (c) make, upon not less than three (3) days’ prior notice to Seller, a physical inspection of and such other tests and inspections regarding the Improvements, Personal Property and, subject to the terms of Section 6, the Property as Buyer deems necessary and appropriate; (d) determine the suitability of the parking on the Property; (e) to update or otherwise obtain a revised survey if the survey delivered by Seller is inadequate in Buyer’s determination; (f) determine the feasibility of obtaining necessary financing within the time limits and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement; and (g) make such other inquiries and determinations as Buyer, in its sole discretion deemed necessary in order to be willing to acquire the Property, Personal Property and Improvements.  Buyer’s access to, and inspection of, the Property, the Improvements and Personal Property, or any of them, shall be at Buyer’s sole risk and expense and Seller shall have no responsibility therefor and such activities shall be conducted in such a manner as not to damage the Property, the Improvements or the Personal Property, or any of them, or to endanger, or otherwise constitute a nuisance to, persons or property in the vicinity of the Property, the Improvements or the Personal Property. Buyer shall immediately repair any loss or damage to the Property, the Improvements or the Personal Property, or any of them, caused by the acts or omissions of Buyer or Buyer’s agents, contractors or employees in connection with its inspection hereunder and shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees), of whatever nature and by whomever asserted, arising out of, resulting from or in any way connected with the acts or omissions of Buyer, its contractors, employees or agents in connection with Buyer’s access to, and inspection of the Property, the Improvements and/or the Personal Property hereunder other than as may relate to the discovery of any hazardous substances or other environmental liability items not caused by the acts of Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors.

 

3.1.3                        If Buyer determines that either the Property or Improvements are not satisfactory to Buyer, or if Buyer determines that any of the items inspected or results of inquiries made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.1 are unsatisfactory to Buyer, then Buyer shall so notify Seller in writing with such reasons on or before the last day of the Inspection Contingency Period.  Upon receiving such notice, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to cure or otherwise correct those items to which Buyer has objected pursuant to this Section 3.1.  If Seller elects to cure or otherwise correct such items, Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice of such election and a detailed plan for curing or otherwise correcting such items and specifying the time frame in which such plan shall be completed, which plan must be approved by Buyer in writing.  If Buyer approves such plan, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to proceed to cure or otherwise correct such item in accordance with the plan approved by Buyer; provided, however, that Seller may deliver written notice to Buyer at any time that Seller

 

4



 

cannot or is not willing to cure or otherwise correct those items to which Buyer has objected.  If Seller does not complete such cure or correction as and when required by the Buyer-approved plan, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, less the amount of all escrow cancellation fees, if any, payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.8, and the Parties shall have no further rights, obligations or liability hereunder, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein.  If Buyer fails to deliver such notice on or before expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived all conditions set forth in this Section 3.1 and its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1.3.  If this Agreement is terminated for any reason following the Inspection Contingency Period, the Earnest Money shall be absolutely non-refundable except to the limited extent provided in Section 3.2.6 (dealing with title), Section 3.4 (dealing with the estoppel certificate), Section 3.5 (dealing with mutual conditions precedent), Section 3.6 (dealing with the financing contingency), Section 6.4 (dealing with environmental investigations), Section 8 of this Agreement (dealing with condemnation or casualty) and in Section 10.1 of this Agreement (dealing with certain defaults of Seller).

3.2.1                        Within ten (10) days following the execution of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller, Seller shall cause Landmark Title Company (“Title Insurer”) to deliver a current commitment for title insurance on the Property and the Improvements (the “Title Commitment”) to Buyer and Seller.  The Title Commitment shall show the status of title to the Property and the Improvements as of the date of such Title Commitment and shall be accompanied by legible copies of all documents referred to in such Title Commitment (the “Underlying Documents”).

 

3.2.2                        Buyer shall review the Title Commitment and notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of any Schedule B exception(s) shown on such Title Commitment within ten (10) days following the date on which Buyer received the Title Commitment and legible copies of all of the Underlying Documents, but in any event before the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period.  Any exceptions to which Buyer has objected (other than the Permitted Exceptions [defined later]) shall be referred to herein as the “Disapproved Exceptions”.  Buyer’s failure to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exception within such time period shall be deemed approval of such exception.

 

3.2.3                        If on or before Closing, Title Insurer amends the Title Commitment to add any Schedule B exception (other than the Permitted Exceptions listed in subsections (i) through (vii) and in subsections (ix) through (x) of Section 3.3 below) in addition to the Schedule B exceptions shown in such Title Commitment, as the same may have been amended by prior amendments, (an “Additional Exception”), Title Insurer shall give both Buyer and Seller written notice thereof, and Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of such amended Title Commitment of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of any Additional Exception.  Any Additional Exception which has not been approved by Buyer as provided in this Section 3.2 shall be deemed disapproved and shall be a Disapproved Exception.  Buyer’s failure to notify Seller of its approval of any Additional Exception within such time period shall be deemed a disapproval of such Additional Exception.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if the amended Title Commitment is delivered to Buyer less than ten (10)

days before the Date of Closing, then Buyer shall be presumed to have objected to any Additional Exception unless Buyer approves in writing of such Additional Exception prior to closing and if such Additional Exception is not so approved by Buyer in writing and cannot be removed from the Title Commitment or the Title Insurer will not agree to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Additional Exception prior to closing, this Agreement shall be terminated, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, less the amount of all escrow cancellation fees, if any, payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.8, and the Parties shall have no further rights, obligations or liability hereunder, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein.  Any Additional Exception which has been disapproved by Buyer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be considered a Disapproved Exception.

 

3.2.4                        Within five (5) days after (a) the date Seller receives notice of any Disapproved Exception; or (b) the addition of any Additional Exception, if such addition occurs less than ten (10) days prior to the Date of Closing, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether Seller intends to cause such Disapproved Exception or Additional Exception to be removed from the Title Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Disapproved Exceptions.  Seller shall have ten (10) days (but in no event later than seven [7] days prior to the Date of Closing) from the date of receipt of any notice of disapproval to cause such Disapproved Exceptions or any Additional Exceptions to be removed from the Title Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Disapproved Exceptions.  However, Seller shall have no obligation to cause such Disapproved Exceptions to be removed from the Title Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Disapproved Exceptions; provided, however, if Seller does not cause such Disapproved Exception or Additional Exception to be removed from the Title Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Disapproved Exceptions within seven (7) days prior to the Date of Closing, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement, and upon such termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, less the amount of all escrow cancellation fees, if any, payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.8, and the Parties shall have no further rights, obligations or liability hereunder, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein.

 

3.2.5                        Unless Seller notifies Buyer within the time period provided in Section 3.2.4 above that Seller has caused such Disapproved Exceptions to be removed from the Title Commitment or caused the Title Insurer to commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Disapproved Exceptions, Seller will conclusively be deemed to have elected not to cause such Disapproved Exceptions to be removed from such Title Commitment or to cause the Title Insurer to commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Disapproved Exceptions.  In such event, unless Buyer shall notify Seller by the earlier to occur of (a) 12:00 p.m. on the Date of Closing or (b) within five (5) days after the earlier to occur of (i) expiration of the 10-day cure period provided in Section 3.2.4 above; or (ii) the date on which Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller shall not cause such Disapproved Exceptions to be removed from the Title Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Disapproved Exceptions, that Buyer has elected to waive the Disapproved Exceptions and complete the acquisition of the Property in accordance with this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be

3.4                                 Estoppel Certificate.  Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer on or before the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period, an estoppel certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Estoppel Certificate”) from the Master Landlord with respect to the Ground Lease (but in no event shall such estoppel certificate be required to contain information which is not otherwise required to be provided by the Master Landlord under

the Ground Lease).  If Seller has not delivered the Estoppel Certificate on or before the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period in accordance with this Section 3.4; provided, however, that Seller shall have the right, on or before the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period, at Seller’s option and in Seller’s sole discretion, to represent and warrant to Buyer the matters set forth in the Estoppel Certificate, in which event this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement the Parties shall proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement on the Date of Closing.  Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer from and against any liability, claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, proceedings and causes of action to the extent arising from a misrepresentation by Seller concerning the matters set forth in Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to this Section 3.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller’s representation and warranty described above (including any indemnification obligation of Seller in connection therewith) shall only be in effect until such time as Seller delivers to Buyer the Estoppel Certificate setting forth the matters represented and warranted by Seller.  At the Date of Closing, Seller shall represent and warrant the following to Buyer: (a) all rent and other payments accrued and owing under the Ground Lease are current, except for those amounts which have been agreed to between the Parties in connection with the prorations under this Agreement; (b) to Seller’s actual knowledge, there has been no material change in the facts set forth in the Estoppel Certificate during the period between the date such Estoppel Certificate was signed and the Date of Closing.

 

3.5                                 Mutual Conditions Precedent.  Each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 shall be conditions precedent to the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, and the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if any of those conditions are not satisfied within the time limits set forth in such sections.  If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Earnest Money, with any interest earned thereon pursuant to Section 2.2.2, shall be returned to Buyer, less the amount of all title and escrow cancellation fees, if any, payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.8, and the Parties shall have no further rights, obligations or liability hereunder, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein.

This Agreement constitutes escrow instructions to the Escrow Holder and a copy shall be deposited with Escrow Holder for this purpose.  Should Escrow Holder require the execution of its standard form printed escrow instructions, Buyer and Seller agree to execute same; provided, however, that any such instructions shall be construed as applying only to Escrow Holder’s engagement and shall be auxiliary to this Agreement.  If there are conflicts between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the escrow instructions, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

6.2.1                        Building code violations, zoning and structure.  Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer by Seller on or before the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period, as of the date of this Agreement, (i) to Seller’s knowledge, Seller is not aware of and has received no building code violation notices with respect to the Property; and (ii) to Seller’s knowledge, Seller is not aware of and has received no notices of any action or governmental proceeding in eminent domain, or for zoning change, which would affect the Property; and (iii) to Seller’s knowledge no structural problems exist with respect to the Improvements.

 

6.2.2                        Service Contracts.  Except as have been disclosed to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Inspection Contingency Period there are no maintenance, advertising, management, leasing, employment, or service contracts affecting the Property that will be in effect after the Closing unless expressly assumed in writing by Buyer.  Otherwise, Seller shall terminate any such employment or other contracts not expressly assumed by Buyer at or prior to Closing.

 

6.2.3                        Seller Authority.  That (i) Seller has the capacity and authority to enter into and carry out this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and Seller will provide Buyer at Closing with copies of board resolutions and the appropriate lender’s consents, if required, authorizing and consenting to the sale of the Property; and (ii) to Seller’s knowledge, no third party has any right, to purchase all or any part of the Property.

15



 

As used in this Section 6.2, the term “Seller’s knowledge”, and similar terms, shall mean to the actual knowledge of James T. Oyler, Seller’s CEO, and Bruce Lyman, Seller’s Facilities Manager, after reasonable inquiry of Seller’s existing senior executive officers.  If Buyer determines within the 12-month period described above, that Seller intentionally misrepresented any matter set forth in this Section 6.2 of which Buyer was not aware (either through Buyer’s due diligence efforts or otherwise) prior to Closing of this transaction, then Buyer shall have the right to seek Buyer’s actual damages (excluding consequential and any other unforeseeable damages) resulting from such misrepresentation; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be entitled to rescind or otherwise seek a rescission of this Agreement after Closing.

 

6.3                                 No Representations.  Except for the express representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby affirms that Seller, its agents, employees and/or attorneys have not made, nor has Buyer relied upon, any representation, warranty, or promise with respect to the Property, the Improvements, the Personal Property, the Ground Lease or any other subject matter of this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any warranties or representations, expressed or implied, as to (a) the accuracy of any survey, soils report or other plan or report with respect to the Property or the Improvements; or (b) the physical condition of the Personal Property.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth in this Agreement, Buyer is purchasing the Improvements and the Personal Property, and is assuming the Ground Lease from Seller, in an “AS IS” “WHERE IS” CONDITION, SUBJECT TO “ALL FAULTS,” INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BOTH LATENT AND PATENT DEFECTS.  EXCEPT AS MAY RELATE TO ANY MISREPRESENTATIONS BY SELLER CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER HEREBY WAIVES ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE CONDITION AND USE OF THE PROPERTY, THE IMPROVEMENTS OR THE PERSONAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

Seller’s Initials:

 

Buyer’s Initials:

 

 

 

Buyer acknowledges that it will inspect the Property, Improvements and Personal Property and otherwise undertake to perform investigations of the Property, Improvements, Personal Property, Ground Lease in accordance with this Agreement, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall purchase the Improvements and the Personal Property and to assume the Ground Lease without adjustment to or offset against the Purchase Price.

 

6.4                                 Environmental Due Diligence.

 

6.4.1                        Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such environmental due diligence with respect to the Property as the Master Landlord permits during the Inspection Contingency Period.  If Buyer desires to perform environmental due diligence with respect to the Property or Improvements, or either of them, or conduct any tests or cause the surface of the ground to be penetrated in any manner for any purpose (such as soils tests, etc.), it shall first inform Seller and the Master Landlord of such desire in writing.  Thereafter, Buyer, Seller and the Master Landlord, shall meet to discuss how and when such inspection shall be undertaken or if such inspection is acceptable to Seller and the Master Landlord.  Such environmental inspections shall be performed by an individual or firm professionally licensed to perform such inspections in the State of Utah (“Inspector”).  The Inspector shall be informed that it is employed or otherwise engaged by Seller, the Master Landlord and Buyer, notwithstanding the fact

 

16



 

that Buyer shall be solely obligated to pay the Inspector’s fees and costs; provided, however, that Seller and/or Master Landlord may not request any information increasing the cost of Buyer’s requested report.  The results of Buyer’s inspections, if any, relating to Hazardous Materials, shall be initially orally reported to Buyer, Seller and the Master Landlord by the Inspector.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement as a result of such oral reports indicating the actual or probable presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or in area of the Property within five (5) days of each such report, in which case the Earnest Money will be refunded to Buyer, less the amount of all escrow cancellation fees, if any, payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.8.  If this Agreement is not so terminated, such reports shall be reduced to writing and marked “draft.”  Buyer shall deliver to Seller and the Master Landlord as soon as they are made available to Buyer, copies of all reports and analyses prepared or used in connection with Buyer’s environmental inspection of the Property.  All studies, data, reports, analyses, writings and communications, including any environmental studies or reports, shall be generated by the Inspector for the use of Buyer’s, Seller’s and the Master Landlord’s attorneys and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the work product of Buyer’s, Seller’s and the Master Landlord’s respective attorneys and shall constitute confidential, attorney-client communications and each Party shall use its best efforts to ensure that such confidence and privilege is maintained.

 

6.4.2                        For purposes of this Agreement, “Hazardous Materials” means any substance or material which is defined as or included in the definition of “hazardous substances”, “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous materials”, “extremely hazardous waste”, “acutely hazardous wastes”, “restricted hazardous waste”, “toxic substances”, or “known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity” (or words of similar import), petroleum products (including crude oil or any fraction thereof) or any other chemical, substance or material which is prohibited, limited or regulated under any federal, state or local law, ordinance, regulation, order, permit, license, decree, common law, or treaty now or hereafter in force regulating, relating to or imposing liability or standards concerning materials or substances known or suspected to be toxic or hazardous to health or safety, the environment or natural resources.

 

6.5                                 Environmental Release. Buyer expressly assumes the risk that any Hazardous Material is or hereafter may be located on the Property or Improvements.  EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE SAME MAY BE AS A RESULT OF THE SOLE ACT OF SELLER, BUYER HEREBY FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES SELLER AND ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE OF SELLER, THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL JUDGMENTS, CLAIMS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ AND OTHER CONSULTANTS’ REASONABLE FEES AND COSTS), CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, (A) ALL FORESEEABLE AND ALL UNFORESEEABLE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THE USE, GENERATION, STORAGE, DISPOSAL, RELEASE OR THREATENED RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON THE PROPERTY AND/OR IMPROVEMENTS AND (B) THE COST OF ANY REASONABLY NECESSARY INVESTIGATION, REPAIR, CLEANUP, REMEDIATION OR DETOXIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY AND/OR IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER AFFECTED PROPERTY AND THE PREPARATION OF ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION, CLOSURE OR OTHER REQUIRED PLANS OR REPORTS TO THE FULL EXTENT THAT SUCH ACTIONS ARE ALLEGED TO BE

 

17



 

ATTRIBUTABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO THE PRESENCE OR USE, GENERATION, STORAGE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, OR DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS BY ANY PERSON AND RELATE TO OR INVOLVE THE PROPERTY AND/OR IMPROVEMENTS.

Buyer’s Initials:

 

 

 

 

7.                                       COMMISSIONS.  Seller represents that it has not entered into any contracts with any brokers or finders nor has obligated itself to pay any real estate commissions or finders’ fees on account of the execution of this Agreement or the close of the transaction contemplated hereby, except for NAI Utah Commercial Real Estate, which Seller shall pay a commission pursuant to a separate agreement, which separate agreement reflects that such commission is to be paid at a rate of four percent (4%) of Seven Million Three Hundred Seventy One Thousand Dollars ($7,371,000.00).  Buyer represents that it has not entered into any contracts with any brokers or finders nor has Buyer obligated itself to pay any real estate commissions or finders’ fees on account of the execution of this Agreement or the close of the transaction contemplated hereby, except Woodbury Corporation, who shall look solely to NAI Utah Commercial Real Estate for payment of any commission due to Woodbury Corporation in connection with this transaction.  Based on such representations, Buyer and Seller hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from any claims, damages, expenses, liabilities, liens or judgments (including costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees in defending the same) which arise on account of any claim made by any person or entity, other than as identified above, for commissions or finders’ fees with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby due to the breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the indemnifying Party in this Section 7.  This indemnification shall survive the Closing or the cancellation and termination of this Agreement.

 

8.                                       CONDEMNATION, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

 

8.1                                 Condemnation.  If during the term of this Agreement and prior to Closing, any entity having the power of condemnation initiates proceedings to acquire by condemnation any portion of or interest in the Property or the Improvements (a “Taking”), then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice (“Taking Notice”) to the other Party given prior to the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days following the date notice of such proceeding is given to Seller by either the Master Landlord or the entity initiating such proceeding or (b) the Date of Closing; and Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Earnest Money, less the amount of all escrow cancellation fees, if any, payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.8.  If either (i) a Taking occurs and no Taking Notice is given prior to the applicable date, or (ii) the Taking is not of a nature as to create a right in either Party to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall not terminate nor shall the Purchase Price be reduced, but such proceeding and any condemnation relating thereto shall constitute a Permitted Exception and Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing any and all rights Seller may have in such proceeding and any condemnation award relating thereto.

 

8.2                                 Casualty.  If, during the term of this Agreement and prior to Closing, the Property or any of the Improvements located thereon is damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty Event”) which Casualty Event cannot be completely repaired or replaced by Seller prior to Closing, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the date of such Casualty Event unless Buyer shall elect in writing (the “Casualty Notice”) to accept the Property subject to the damage caused by such Casualty Event, such written notice to be given prior to the earlier to occur of (a) thirty (30) days after such Casualty Event or (b) the Date of Closing; and Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Earnest Money, less the amount of all escrow cancellation fees, if

 

18



 

any, payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.8.  If the Casualty Event is not of a nature as to create a right in either Party to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall not terminate and the Purchase Price shall not be reduced, but Seller shall, at the Closing and at Seller’s sole and exclusive option and subject to the rights, title, interests and obligations of the Master Landlord under the Ground Lease either (x) assign to Buyer all Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any insurance proceeds with respect to such Casualty Event, or (y) pay to Buyer any proceeds actually received by Seller with respect to such Casualty Event.

 

Except as described above, all other risk of loss due to damage or destruction of the Improvements or the Personal Property prior to Closing shall be borne by Seller.

 

9.                                       NOTICES.  All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by (a) established express delivery service which maintains delivery records, (b) hand delivery, or (c) certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Parties at the following addresses, or at such other address as the Parties may designate by written notice in the above manner:

10.                                 DEFAULT.

 

10.1                           Seller’s DefaultIF SELLER SHALL DEFAULT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON, THEN BUYER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND RIGHT TO DAMAGES AS A RESULT OF SELLER’S DEFAULT, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, RECEIVE THE IMMEDIATE REFUND OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSITED BY BUYER, AND DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF: (A) BUYER’S ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COST AND EXPENSE IN PERFORMING BUYER’S DUE DILIGENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS AND IN OBTAINING FINANCING; OR (B) $50,000.00, TO COMPENSATE BUYER FOR ITS COSTS OF PERFORMING DUE

10.2                           Buyer’s DefaultIF BUYER SHALL DEFAULT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS (WHICH DEFAULT SHALL INCLUDE BUYER’S FAILURE TO TIMELY CLOSE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AFTER SELLER HAS TENDERED PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

 

Seller’s Initials:

 

Buyer’s Initials:

 

 

 

11.                                 ATTORNEYS’ FEES.  If a Party commences a legal proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action shall have the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the other Party to be fixed by the court in the same action.  The term “legal proceedings” as used above shall be deemed to include appeals from a lower court judgment and it shall include proceedings in the Federal Bankruptcy Court, whether or not they are adversary proceedings or contested matters.  The term “prevailing Party” as used above in reference to proceedings in the Federal Bankruptcy Court shall be deemed to mean the prevailing Party in any adversary proceeding or contested matter, or any other actions taken by the non-bankrupt party which are reasonably necessary to protect its rights in the Property, the Improvements, the Ground Leases and the terms of this Agreement.  The phrase “prevailing Party” in the context of proceedings in any court other than the Federal Bankruptcy court shall mean the Party that prevails in obtaining the remedy or relief sought; so that, for example, the prevailing Party may be a Party which is ordered to pay $100.00 where the obligation to pay $80.00 was undisputed and the claiming Party alleged that it was entitled to $1,000.00.

 

12.                                 SURVIVAL.  The indemnity agreements contained in Sections 3, 7, and 13 of this Agreement shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall not merge into any deed or other instruments delivered and accepted upon the Closing of the transaction herein contemplated.

 

13.                                 TAX-FREE EXCHANGE.  The interest in the Property and/or Improvements may be a part of a tax-free exchange to Seller or Buyer (or both).  If the interest in the Property and/or the Improvements, or either of them, are to be a part of a tax-free exchange to a Party, the Party shall notify the other Party of such fact at least ten (10) days prior to Closing.  If any such exchange should fail to occur for whatever reason, the sale of the interest in the Property and/or Improvements shall nonetheless be consummated.  In connection therewith, the other Party agrees to execute such documents which the Party initiating the tax-free exchange deems reasonably necessary or appropriate, and to otherwise cooperate with the initiating Party to effectuate such exchange; provided, the other Party shall not be obligated to take title to any replacement property in connection with such exchange and such exchange

 

20



 

does not result in any cost to the other Party or any delay or postponement of the Closing, and provided further that the other Party shall assume no liability in connection therewith against which it is not indemnified by the initiating Party, and the Initiating Party hereby indemnifies and holds the other Party free and harmless from any liability (including, but not limited to the tax ramifications to the initiating Party of such exchange) arising by reason of performing acts requested by the initiating Party to effectuate such exchange.

 

14.                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

 

14.1                           Binding Terms.  The terms, covenants and conditions herein contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, transferees and assigns of the Parties.

 

14.2                           No Assignment.  Except as set forth below, neither Buyer nor Seller shall assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder to anyone except with the prior written consent of the other Party not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any third party for purposes of effectuating a tax-free exchange as set forth in Section 13 above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder (a) to any entity which is wholly-owned or ultimately owned (i.e. through various subsidiaries) by Seller (a “Seller Affiliate”); or (b) in connection with the sale or disposal of the assets or stock of Seller or a Seller Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to its rights with respect to a tax-free exchange, Buyer shall have a one time right to assign all or any portion of Buyer’s interest in this Agreement, provided, however, that Buyer shall give Seller at least three (3) business days prior written notice of such assignment, such assignment shall not delay the Closing and Buyer shall remain liable for all obligations to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement.

 

14.3                           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, incorporates all prior agreements, and may only be modified by a subsequent writing duly executed by the Parties.

 

14.4                           Waivers.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver be a continuing waiver.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Party making the waiver.  Either Party may waive any provision of this Agreement intended for its benefit; provided, however, such waiver shall in no way excuse the other Party from the performance of any of its other obligations under this Agreement.

 

14.5                           Time of the Essence.  Time is expressly made of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement.

 

14.6                           Interpretation.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed only by the contents hereof, and there shall be no presumption or standard of construction in favor of or against either Party.

 

14.7                           Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the law of the state in which the Property and the Improvements are located. The Parties agree and hereby consent that any legal action with respect to this Agreement may be commenced and maintained in either the local courts in the County in which the Property and the Improvements are located or the United States District Court for the

 

21



 

District in which the Property and the Improvements are located and each Party hereby consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdictions of those courts.  Each Party also agrees that venue is proper in either of those courts and waives any objection to venue.

 

14.8                           Captions.  The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of the provisions hereof.

 

14.9                           Applicability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application of it to any person, entity or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

 

14.10                     Authority.  The individuals executing this Agreement represent and warrant that they have the power and authority to do so, and to bind the entities for which they are executing this Agreement.  In connection with the foregoing, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that all necessary actions have been taken to allow Buyer to execute the documents and otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

14.11                     Numbering of Days.  If the last day of any time period stated herein shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday, then such time period shall be extended to the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or a federal legal holiday.

 

14.12                     Allocation of Professional Fees.  Except as provided in Section 11 of this Agreement, regardless of whether the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, each respective Party shall be responsible for its own legal, accounting, and other professional fees incurred in relation to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

14.13                     Publicity/Disclosure of Information.  All publicity or disclosure relating to this Agreement and the Property and/or the Improvements hereunder or the assignment of the Ground Lease shall be released only after prior consultation with and the consent of the other Party.  The Parties agree to hold strictly confidential, and not to disclose publicly (except as required by law, including any applicable securities law or other legal disclosure obligations of such Party or any consolidated group of which it is a part) any financial information in connection with the sale of the Improvements or the assignment of the Ground Lease hereunder, or any other terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 14.13 shall not survive the Closing, but shall survive any termination of this Agreement prior to the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

THE SUBMISSION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR EXAMINATION OR ITS NEGOTIATION OR THE NEGOTIATION OF THE TRANSACTION DESCRIBED HEREIN DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL, AND THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A BINDING CONTRACT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN EXECUTED BY AUTHORIZED OFFICERS OF SELLER, AND DELIVERED TO BUYER.

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

 

TO:                            WOODBURY CORPORATION, a Utah corporation

 

RE:                              The University of Utah, a body politic and corporate of the State of Utah (“Landlord”), as landlord, and the predecessor-in-interest of Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation, a Utah corporation (“Tenant”), Black Hawk Investment Company, a general partnership, entered into a Lease Agreement, dated September 5, 1980, as amended by each of (i) that First Amendment to Lease Agreement, dated June 7, 1982, (ii) that Second Amendment to Lease Agreement, dated September 28, 1982, (iii) that Third Addendum to Lease Agreement, dated April 9, 1987, and (iv) that Fourth Addendum to Lease Agreement, dated December 31, 1990 (collectively, the “Lease”).

 

The undersigned does hereby certify to you as follows:

 

1.                                       Landlord is the current landlord under the Lease for the premises described therein (“Premises”).  The Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant.  The Lease is in full force and effect.

 

2.                                       To the Landlord’s actual knowledge, Tenant is not in default under the Lease.

 

3.                                       The presently existing term of the Lease expires on December 31, 2030, and Tenant has one (1) option, Ten (10) years in length, to extend such term.

 

The rent payable by Tenant under the Lease is $ 58,513.11 per year during the current Five (5) year period and increases as follows: On date being five (5) years after the first rental is due under the Lease and on date every five (5) years thereafter, a new land rental to be paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be determined for the five (5) year period immediately following or the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is the shorter time. The new land rental shall be such an amount as shall bear the same ratio to the then current annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers as shown in the “Survey of Current Business” of the U. S. Department of Commerce as the base land rental of $36,873 bore to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers at the time first rental was due. The land rental so computed shall be payable one-twelfth (1/12) each month for the following five (5) years or the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is the shorter time. Under no circumstances shall the rent so determined be lower than the base land rent; provided, however, the base land rental above was reduced to $30,423.00 effective May 1, 1987; and further provided, that effective January 1, 2021 and throughout the extended term of the Lease, Tenant’s land rental payment shall be based on and equal to the same per acre rate as is applied to Tenant’s Land Lease entered into with Landlord dated December 31, 1990.  The next scheduled rental increase is September 1, 2007.

 

4.                                       Tenant has not paid in advance of its due date under the Lease any rent or other charges due under the Lease.

 

5.                                       Landlord holds no security deposit.

 

6.                                       This Master Landlord Estoppel Certificate is not intended to alter or add to the terms of the Lease and imposes no obligations on Landlord other than as specifically provided in the Lease.  Additionally, there may be other agreements which affect the Premises such as recorded documents.  Reference should

 

E-1



 

be made to the Lease and any other agreements for additional information on the specific provisions of the Lease or any other agreements.

 

7.                                       The undersigned is aware that you and prospective purchasers, lenders and others will rely upon the statements made in this Master Landlord Estoppel Certificate, and the undersigned has therefore adjusted the language of this Master Landlord Estoppel Certificate as necessary to make it an accurate statement of the current facts concerning the Lease.  If no such adjustments have been made, said parties may rely upon the statements in this form as printed.

B.                                     Foothill is the “Assignee” under that certain Absolute Assignment of Sub-Leases and Rents, executed December 14, 2000, and recorded December 20, 2000, as Entry No. 7784145, in Book 8409 at Page 3943, of the real property records of Salt Lake County, Utah, as amended and/or modified of record (“Assignment”) with respect to the leasehold interests described in Exhibit A thereto.

 

C.                                     EVANS & SUTHERLAND COMPUTER CORPORATION, a Utah Corporation (“E&S”), is the “Trustor” under the Deed of Trust and the “Assignor” under the Assignment.

 

D.                                    Pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated April 7, 2004, between E&S and WOODBURY CORPORATION, a Utah corporation, and with the consent and approval of Foothill, E&S has sold its right, title and interest in all improvements on certain real property located at 650 Komas Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah, which property is more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto, and has assigned its right, title, interest and obligations in that certain Lease Agreement between THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, a body politic and corporate of the State of Utah (the “University”), and the predecessor-in-interest of E&S, Black Hawk Investment Company, a general partnership, entered into a Lease Agreement, dated September 5, 1980, as amended by each of (i) that First Amendment to Lease Agreement, dated June 7, 1982, (ii) that Second Amendment to Lease Agreement, dated September 28, 1982, (iii) that Third Addendum to Lease Agreement, dated April 9, 1987, and (iv) that Fourth Addendum to Lease Agreement, dated December 31, 1990 to Komas L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company.  Such sale and assignment transaction is sometimes referred to herein as the “Sale Transaction”.

ARTICLE 4

SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

4.1                                 Security Deposit.  Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant will deposit an amount equal to the Security Deposit with Landlord, as security for the full performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.  If an event of default by Tenant occurs under any provision of this Lease, Landlord will be entitled, at its option, to apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or other sum in default, any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend because of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer because of Tenant’s default.  If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant will, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.  In no event will the Security Deposit be deemed or treated as a prepayment of any rental or other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease, including without limitation, the last monthly installment of rent.  Landlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant will be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit at the rate of 1% below the Prime Rate of Zions First National Bank, N.A. or its successors adjusted monthly.  Said interest will be paid by Landlord to Tenant

 



 

quarterly within five (5) days after the end of each calendar quarter so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease.  If Tenant will fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises and within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Lease, Landlord will return the Security Deposit, or any remaining balance thereof, together with its written explanation of the application of the funds, to Tenant.  In the event of termination of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Landlord will transfer the deposit to Landlord’s successor in interest, giving notice to Tenant, and Tenant waives any claim to approve the transfer.  Tenant agrees that, upon a transfer of the Security Deposit, Landlord will have no further liability to return or account for it; provided, however, that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease has been determined and paid in full.  Landlord’s rights with respect to the Security Deposit will be in addition to and will not preclude concurrent, alternative or successive exercise of any other rights or remedies available to Landlord.

 

4.2                                 In the alternative, Tenant may elect to keep said Security Deposit in an escrow account with appropriate instructions to the escrow holder to pay to Landlord appropriately upon default of Tenant.  Said escrow account may be interest bearing with any accured interest payable to Tenant so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease.

 

4.3                                 As a further alternative, Tenant may elect to provide Landlord with an irrevocable Letter of Credit issued by an acceptable financial institution in the amount of Eight Hundred Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty and 00/100 Dollars ($871,230.00) which may be drawn against by Landlord to the extent that Tenant fails to pay as set forth in the Lease or if within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any letter of credit provided, Tenant fails to obtain an acceptable replacement letter of credit. If the Landlord draws on the letter of credit it will be held and used subject Section 4.1 of this Lease.

 

4.4                                 Provided that Tenant is not in default the amount of Security Deposit or Letter of Credit shall be reduced from Eight Hundred Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty and 00/100 Dollars ($871,230) after the first full calendar year as follows:

 

a)                                      Tenant may withdraw or be entitled to a refund from the Security Deposit of the amount of Monthly Rental (but not Additional Rental) paid commencing with the sixteenth (16) month as set forth in Exhibit E and;

 

b)                                     To the extent that due to Third Party Rents, Tenant’s Monthly Rental obligation for months sixteen through thirty-six (16 – 36) of this Lease has been reduced from that set forth in the Monthly Rental section of the Fundamental Provisions, Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of the amount of reduced Monthly Rental obligation as reasonably agreed by Landlord and Tenant.  Whenever an additional third party occupies space, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably calculate the reduction of Tenant’s Monthly Rental obligation due to the anticipated Third Party Rents added and Tenant shall receive a refund of such reduction as set forth is Exhibit F.

 

c)                                      Furthermore, if Tenant reports a Net Income (excluding any one-time benefits from disposition of assets in any two consecutive quarters commencing in the first calendar quarter of 2005, then the amount of the required Security Deposit shall be reduced by one-half (½) of the then remaining Security Deposit.  This one-half (½) reduction shall apply one (1) time only. 

 



 

Notwithstanding the above, if Tenant reports a Net Income as defined above for four (4) consecutive quarters commencing after January 1, 2005, the Security Deposit shall be reduced to One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).

ARTICLE 14

UTILITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS UTILITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into this        day of              , 2007, by and between EVANS & SUTHERLAND COMPUTER CORPORATION, a Utah corporation (“E&S”), KOMAS, L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company (“Komas”) and PACIFICORP, an Oregon corporation doing business as Utah Power & Light Company (“UP&L”), individually a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”.

 

R E C I T A L S

 

A.                                   E&S and Woodbury Corporation have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated April 7, 2004 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the building and improvements located at 650 Komas Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Property”).

 

B.                                     Komas intends to obtain from Woodbury Corporation an assignment of Woodbury Corporation’s rights and interests under the Purchase Agreement, and to take possession of the Property.

 

C.                                     Currently, the Property receives electrical power from a substation (the “Substation”) owned and operated by E&S.

 

D.                                    Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Woodbury Corporation and E&S have required, as a condition to closing the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and as further set forth in that certain Lease Agreement dated                 , 2004, that Komas, E&S and UP&L agree, in writing, to a separation, including separate metering, by UP&L of any electrical facilities servicing the Property from the electrical facilities servicing other property owned and/or controlled by E&S in the vicinity of the Property.

 

E.                                      The Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement at the termination of the Lease set forth above to resolve the issues regarding the billing separation of electrical services to the Property.

 

A G R E E M E N T

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Installation of Electrical Meter.  UP&L shall install, at the cost and expense of E&S and Komas, to be borne equally by E&S and Komas, a primary meter near the existing switch box to allow UP&L to meter for the electrical services provided to the Property upon separation of the electrical facilities servicing the Property from the electrical facilities servicing other property owned and/or controlled by E&S.  Charges due UP&L under this Section 1 are separate from the costs due under any other section of this Agreement.

 

2.                                       Charge for Electrical Service.  At such time as UP&L has installed the electrical meter referenced in Section 1 above and the electrical service is separated as defined in Section 3 below, Komas shall be served and billed by UP&L, at the applicable approved rate schedule.

 

3.                                       Separation of Electrical Services.  As soon as is practicable, in the opinion of UP&L, in its sole and absolute discretion, UP&L will separate the electrical service for the Property from the Substation; provided, however, that such separation, including, without limitation, line design and

 



 

construction, shall be subject to the standard Public Service Commission regulations regarding line extension costs, deposits and contracts.  Komas shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to pay for such installation in accordance with the applicable Public Service Commission regulations regarding line extension costs, deposits and contracts.  Komas shall pay for all costs to provide service beyond the existing primary switchgear, including but not limited to, any necessary trenching, conduit installation, connection, splicing or conductoring, to and from the new meter cabinet, but excluding the cost of primary metering addressed in Section 1 above. Once UP&L has installed the electrical meter as required herein, and separated the electrical service provided to the Property as described in this Section 3, UP&L will bill Komas under the applicable electric service schedule, on file with and approved by the Utah Public Service Commission, which is currently Electric Service Schedule No. 6, with voltage discount.

 

4.                                       Payment. E&S and Komas shall tender payment in the total amount of                and 00/100 Dollars ($               ) immediately upon executing this Agreement and UP&L’s obligation to proceed with the activities described in Section 1 and Section 3 herein shall be contingent upon receipt of such payment.  UP&L may, at its sole discretion, require an additional prepayment from Komas to cover the estimated cost of work performed pursuant to Section 3 herein.  Payment in full of amounts due under this Agreement is a condition precedent to UP&L’s obligation to provide electric service to the Property.

 

5.                                       Execution of Additional Documents.  Komas, E&S and UP&L agree to execute such further documentation, as may be necessary to fulfill the purposes of this Agreement.  Komas specifically acknowledges and agrees to execute such utility provider contracts and documents (the “Utility Contracts”) as UP&L may require in connection with providing the electrical service to the Property.

 

6.                                       Indemnification.  In addition to any other indemnities that may be required by or contained in the Utility Contracts, Komas hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to E&S and/or UP&L, as the case may be) and hold harmless E&S and UP&L and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, attorneys, representatives and agents, and successors and assigns, from and against any and all judgments, claims, expenses (including attorneys’ and other consultants’ reasonable fees and costs), causes of action, damages, liabilities, including without limitation, all foreseeable and all unforeseeable consequential damages, directly or indirectly arising out of the supply of electrical services to the Property, through the Substation or otherwise.  Komas acknowledges and agrees, for itself, its successors and assigns, that neither E&S nor UP&L shall be liable to Komas or any tenants or other occupants of the Property in damages or otherwise if such electrical services are interrupted or terminated because of necessary repairs, installations, improvements, or any other cause beyond the control of E&S or UP&L.  Komas further acknowledges and agrees that if Komas needs uninterrupted electrical service, that Komas shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for providing an electrical back-up generator or other uninterruptible power source for the Property.

 

7.                                       Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

8.                                       Severability.  Invalidation of any one of these Covenants and Restrictions by judgment or court order shall in no way affect the validity of any other provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9.                                       Number and Gender.  Number and gender as used in this Agreement shall extend to and include both a singular and plural and all genders as the context and construction require.

 



 

10.                                 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

 

11.                                 Integration.  Except as set forth below, this Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the parties concerning the subject matter contained herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any matters in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement not specifically set forth in this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the Utah Public Service Commission regulations in connection with such matters.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

J.                                        Borrower and Foothill desire to further amend the Loan Agreement as provided for and on the conditions herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower and Foothill hereby amend and supplement the Loan Agreement as follows:

 

1.                                      DEFINITIONS.  All initially capitalized terms used in this Seventh Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement unless specifically defined herein.

 

2.                                      AMENDMENTS.

 

(a)                                  There is added the following new definitions to Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement as follows:

(c)                                  The definition of Real Estate Advances is deleted in its entirety.

 

(d)                                 The definition of Real Estate Borrowing Base is deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in its place and stead:

 

““Real Estate Borrowing Base” means, as of any date of determination, the result of subtracting: (i) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by Foothill under Sections 2.2, 6.11 and 10; and further subtracting (ii) the Average Undrawn portion of Letters of Credit (without duplication of such amounts if subtracted pursuant to Section 2.1(a));  from, the Amortizing Base Amount.

 

2



 

(e)                                  Section 2.1(b) of the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted in its place and stead:

(g)                                 Section 2.2(b) will be amended by deleting the reference to the text as “(b)”since old referenced subsection (b) will be the entire text of Section 2.2.

 

(h)                                 Section 2.3 (a) will be amended by deleting the last sentence thereof in its entirety, and substituting the following in its place and stead:

 

“Foothill shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if the aggregate amount of all: (i) undrawn or unreimbursed Letters of Credit; plus (ii) Obligations; would exceed either the Maximum Amount or the Maximum Letters of Credit Amount.

 

(i)                                     Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following substituted in its place and stead:

3



 

excess to be used by Foothill to repay Advances outstanding under Sections 2.1 or 2.2.

 

(b)                                 In addition to Foothill’s ability to require a cash paydown on the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.4(a), but not in duplication thereof, in the event of an Overadvance, Foothill shall have the right to require that Borrower deposit with Foothill Substitute Cash Collateral in the amount of One hundred and five percent (105%) of the (i) Overadvance; plus (ii) the projected reductions occasioned by the Amortizing Base Amount over the balance of the remaining term of the Agreement.  The Substitute Cash Collateral shall not be deposited in a segregated account, but rather will be reflected as a ledger entry in Borrower’s Loan Account.  The Substitute Cash Collateral shall earn interest, computed at the rate of the announced Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. one year certificate of deposit rate, in effect on the immediately preceding January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1, and shall either be credited against the Obligations, or quarterly, within ten (10) days of the dates set forth immediately above, paid to Borrower.”

 

3.                                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Borrower hereby affirms to Foothill that all of Borrower’s representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement are true, complete and accurate in all respects as of the date hereof.

 

4.                                      NO DEFAULTS.  Borrower hereby affirms to Foothill that, other than Events of Default having been expressly waived by Foothill in writing, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

 

5.                                      CONDITION PRECEDENT.  The effectiveness of this Seventh Amendment is expressly conditioned upon the receipt by Foothill of an executed copy of this Seventh Amendment.

 

6.                                      COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Borrower shall pay to Foothill all of Foothill’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel, which counsel may include any local counsel deemed necessary, search fees, filing and recording fees, documentation fees, appraisal fees, travel expenses, and other fees) arising in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of this Seventh Amendment and all related documents.

 

7.                                      LIMITED EFFECT.  In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Seventh Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Seventh Amendment shall govern.  In all other respects, the Agreement, as amended and supplemented hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.

4



 

each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original.  All such counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Seventh Amendment.  This Seventh Amendment shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart of this Seventh Amendment by each of the parties hereto.
