(1)      Pursuant to the Agreement  and Plan of Merger  entered into as of April
         22, 1998, by and among the Registrant, E&S Merger Corp. (a wholly owned
         subsidiary of  Registrant)  and  AccelGraphics,  Inc.,  the  Registrant
         assumed  all of the  outstanding  options to purchase  Common  Stock of

         option.  This Registration  Statement shall cover any additional shares
         of Common Stock which become  issuable  under the plan set forth herein
         by reason of any stock dividend,  stock split,  recapitalization or any
         other  similar  transaction  without  receipt  of  consideration  which
         results  in an  increase  in the  number of shares of the  Registrant's
         outstanding Common Stock.

         promulgated   under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference

         Evans  &  Sutherland   Computer   Corporation  (the  "Company"  or  the
"Registrant")  hereby  incorporates by reference in this Registration  Statement
the following documents:

                  (a) The Company's  annual report on Form 10-K,  for the fiscal
         year ended  December 31, 1997,  filed with the  Securities and Exchange
         Commission  ("SEC") on March 31,  1998,  as amended by Form 10K/A filed
         with the SEC on May 13, 1998.

                  (b) The Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
         quarter ended March 28, 1998, filed with the SEC on May 11, 1998.

                  (c) The description of the Company's  Common Stock included in
         the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC on
         September 27, 1978.

                  (d) All documents  subsequently  filed by the Company pursuant
         to Section 13(a),  13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
         1934,  ("the Exchange  Act"),  prior to the filing of a  post-effective
         amendment to this  Registration  Statements which indicates that all of
         the  securities  offered  have been sold or which in this  Registration
         Statement  deregisters all securities then remaining  unsold,  shall be
         deemed to be incorporated by reference and to be a part hereof from the
         date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document
         incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference  herein shall be
         deemed to be modified or superseded  for purposes of this  Registration
         Statement  to the extent  that a statement  contained  herein or in any
         other  subsequently  filed  document  which  also is or is deemed to be
         incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
         Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,  except as
         so modified or  superseded,  to constitute a part of this  Registration
         Statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities

         The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Officers and Directors

                                        3

<PAGE>


         Section 16-10a-901,  et.seq., of the Utah Revised Business  Corporation
Act authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant,
indemnity to directors and officers in terms  sufficiently  broad to permit such
indemnification   under  certain   circumstances   for  liabilities   (including
reimbursement  for expenses  incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
The E&S Bylaws  require E&S to indemnify its  directors and officers,  including
circumstances in which  indemnification  is otherwise  discretionary  under Utah
law.  E&S  has  entered  into  indemnification  agreements  with  its  directors
containing  provisions  which are in some  respects  broader  than the  specific
indemnification provisions contained in Utah law. The indemnification agreements
may require E&S,  among other  things,  to indemnify  its directors and officers
against certain  liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct
of a culpable  nature),  to advance their  expenses  incurred as a result of any
proceeding  against  them as to which they could be  indemnified,  and to obtain
director and officer insurance, if available on reasonable terms. E&S's Articles
of Incorporation  provide for  indemnification  of its directors and officers to
the  maximum  extent  permitted  by Utah  law,  and  E&S's  Bylaws  provide  for
indemnification  of its  directors,  officers,  employees  and  other  agents as
permitted by Utah law.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration

         Not Applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings

                    A.       The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                             (1)     To file, during any period in which offers 
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration 
Statement:

                                     (i)      To include any prospectus required
                    by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                                     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts
                    or  events   arising  after  the   effective   date  of  the
                    registration  statement  (or the most recent  post-effective
                    amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the aggregate,
                    represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth
                    in the registration statement;

                                     (iii) to include any  material  information
                    with  respect  to the plan of  distribution  not  previously
                    disclosed  in the  registration  statement  or any  material
                    change to such information in the registration statement;

provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (1)(i)  and  (1)(ii)  do not apply if the
registration  statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information
required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by those  paragraphs  is
contained in periodic  reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission by the
registrant  pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                                        4

<PAGE>



                             (2)     That, for the purpose of determining any 
liability under the Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment  shall 
be  deemed to be a new  registration statement relating to the securities  
offered therein,  and the offering of such securities  at that time shall be 
deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering thereof.

                             (3)     To remove from registration by means of a 
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain 
unsold at the termination of the offering.

                    B. The undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes that, for
purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities Act, each filing of
the  Registrant's  annual  report  pursuant  to  section  13(a)  or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual  report   pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  that  is
incorporated by reference in the registration  statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                    C. Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under
the  Securities  Act may be permitted  to  directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against  public policy as expressed in the  Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference

         Evans  &  Sutherland   Computer   Corporation  (the  "Company"  or  the
"Registrant")  hereby  incorporates by reference in this Registration  Statement
the following documents:

                  (a) The Company's  annual report on Form 10-K,  for the fiscal
         year ended  December 31, 1997,  filed with the  Securities and Exchange
         Commission  ("SEC") on March 31,  1998,  as amended by Form 10K/A filed
         with the SEC on May 13, 1998.

                  (b) The Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
         quarter ended March 28, 1998, filed with the SEC on May 11, 1998.

                  (c) The description of the Company's  Common Stock included in
         the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC on
         September 27, 1978.

                  (d) All documents  subsequently  filed by the Company pursuant
         to Section 13(a),  13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
         1934,  ("the Exchange  Act"),  prior to the filing of a  post-effective
         amendment to this  Registration  Statements which indicates that all of
         the  securities  offered  have been sold or which in this  Registration
         Statement  deregisters all securities then remaining  unsold,  shall be
         deemed to be incorporated by reference and to be a part hereof from the
         date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document
         incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference  herein shall be
         deemed to be modified or superseded  for purposes of this  Registration
         Statement  to the extent  that a statement  contained  herein or in any
         other  subsequently  filed  document  which  also is or is deemed to be
         incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
         Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,  except as
         so modified or  superseded,  to constitute a part of this  Registration
         Statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities

         The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Officers and Directors

                                        3
Section 16-10a-901,  et.seq., of the Utah Revised Business  Corporation
Act authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant,
indemnity to directors and officers in terms  sufficiently  broad to permit such
indemnification   under  certain   circumstances   for  liabilities   (including
reimbursement  for expenses  incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
The E&S Bylaws  require E&S to indemnify its  directors and officers,  including
circumstances in which  indemnification  is otherwise  discretionary  under Utah
law.  E&S  has  entered  into  indemnification  agreements  with  its  directors
containing  provisions  which are in some  respects  broader  than the  specific
indemnification provisions contained in Utah law. The indemnification agreements
may require E&S,  among other  things,  to indemnify  its directors and officers
against certain  liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct
of a culpable  nature),  to advance their  expenses  incurred as a result of any
proceeding  against  them as to which they could be  indemnified,  and to obtain
director and officer insurance, if available on reasonable terms. E&S's Articles
of Incorporation  provide for  indemnification  of its directors and officers to
the  maximum  extent  permitted  by Utah  law,  and  E&S's  Bylaws  provide  for
indemnification  of its  directors,  officers,  employees  and  other  agents as
permitted by Utah law.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration

         Not Applicable.

Item 9.  Undertakings

                    A.       The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                             (1)     To file, during any period in which offers 
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration 
Statement:

                                     (i)      To include any prospectus required
                    by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                                     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts
                    or  events   arising  after  the   effective   date  of  the
                    registration  statement  (or the most recent  post-effective
                    amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the aggregate,
                    represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth
                    in the registration statement;

                                     (iii) to include any  material  information
                    with  respect  to the plan of  distribution  not  previously
                    disclosed  in the  registration  statement  or any  material
                    change to such information in the registration statement;

provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (1)(i)  and  (1)(ii)  do not apply if the
registration  statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information
required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by those  paragraphs  is
contained in periodic  reports filed with or furnished to the  Commission by the
registrant  pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                                        4
(2)     That, for the purpose of determining any 
liability under the Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment  shall 
be  deemed to be a new  registration statement relating to the securities  
offered therein,  and the offering of such securities  at that time shall be 
deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering thereof.

                             (3)     To remove from registration by means of a 
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain 
unsold at the termination of the offering.

                    B. The undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes that, for
purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities Act, each filing of
the  Registrant's  annual  report  pursuant  to  section  13(a)  or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual  report   pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  that  is
incorporated by reference in the registration  statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                    C. Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under
the  Securities  Act may be permitted  to  directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against  public policy as expressed in the  Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
