SALT LAKE CITY -- (Business Wire)

Evans & Sutherland ComputerCorporation (E&S) (OTCPK: ESCC) today reported financial results in its Form 10-Q filing for the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 2013.

Sales for the second quarter were $5.2 million, compared to sales of $4.7 million for the second quarter 2012. Net loss for the quarter was $0.4 million or $0.04 per share compared to a net loss for the second quarter 2012 of $1.5 million or $0.13 per share. Sales for the six months ended June 28, 2013 were $9.9 million, compared to sales of $12.6 million for the comparable period of 2012. Net loss for the six months ended June 28, 2013 was $1.8 million or $0.16 per share compared to a net loss of $1.1 million or $0.10 per share for the comparable period of 2012. Backlog as of June 28, 2013 was $21.9 million compared to backlog of $15.5 million as of December 31, 2012. Operating expenses for the second quarter totaled $2.0 million compared to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2012.

Comments from David H. Bateman, President and Chief Executive Officer: “Sales for the second quarter of 2013 were slightly higher than the comparable period of 2012, but still lower than average quarterly sales in recent years. Sales for the first six months of 2013 were lower than the comparable period of 2012 and also lower than comparable periods of recent years. The low 2013 sales are the result of low 2012 sales bookings and the timing of customer deliveries. New customer bookings improved in the first six months of 2013 and as a result, the sales backlog increased to $21.9 million compared to $15.5 million as of December 31, 2012. The gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2013 improved as expected, but remained lower for the first six months of 2013 than the comparable period of 2012. We expect the gross profit percentage for the remainder of 2013 to improve with the higher expected sales. For the long term, we believe the existing markets we serve will yield annual sales at levels comparable to recent years.

"Total operating expenses in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 decreased compared to the same periods in 2012 due primarily to a decrease in pension expense. The drop in pension expense was attributable to high settlement charges for 2012 lump sum distributions. Since filing the application for distress termination in January 2013, the pension plan is prohibited from making lump sum distributions. Otherwise operating expenses were comparable to the periods presented.

"With our expectations for improved sales for the remainder of 2013, we expect improved results that may fluctuate between the remaining two quarters. We do not expect annual net income for 2013. For the longer term we expect variable but reasonably consistent future sales and gross profits from our current product line at annual levels sufficient to cover or exceed operating expenses, excluding the pension expense.”
