3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 1996 and June 27, 1997 (Unaudited) (4) Share Buy-Back Plan On May 6, 1997, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized the Company to buy up to 1.5 million of its shares in the open market and through private transactions. The actual number of shares repurchased, and the timing of the proceeds, will be based on 3D's stock price, general conditions and other factors. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company repurchased 25,000 shares of its stock. (5) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted. (a) In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings per Share." This statement requires dual presentation of newly defined basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. The accounting standard is effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented. Earlier application is not permitted. However, disclosure of pro forma EPS amounts computed using SFAS No. 128 in the notes to the financial statements is permitted in the periods prior to required adoption. Accordingly the pro forma EPS data for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 1996 and June 27, 1997 are as follows (shares in thousands): Three Month Periods Ended June 28, 1996 June 27, 1997 --------------- --------------- Shares EPS Shares EPS --------------- --------------- Basic EPS 11,317 $ .07 11,376 $ (.02) Diluted EPS 11,814 .07 11,376 (.02) Six Month Periods Ended June 28, 1996 June 27, 1997 --------------- --------------- Shares EPS Shares EPS --------------- --------------- Basic EPS 11,302 $ .17 11,368 $ .01 Diluted EPS 11,796 .16 11,644 .01 (b) On June 30, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires restatement of earlier periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the SFAS 130. Page 7 of 18
3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) December 31, 1996 and June 27, 1997 (Unaudited) (c) On June 30, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement establishes standards for the way that a public enterprise reports information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires restatement of earlier periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 131. (6) Subsequent Event. On July 9, 1997, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH of Germany, a member of the Carl Zeiss Group to acquire a majority (75.1%) interest in a Zeiss subsidiary, EOS GmbH. However, the agreement is subject to the minority investor's pre-emptive right to acquire the majority interest. On August 6, 1997 the minority shareholder exercised his pre-emptive right to acquire the 75.1% of EOS' stock not currently owned. On the assumption that the minority shareholder would acquire the 75.1% interest, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire EOS' stereolithography rapid prototyping business, subject to negotiation of a definitive agreement. No assurance can be given that this transaction will close. If it does, 3D will grant to EOS a worldwide license to patents held by 3D, applicable to the field of laser sintering, and all pending litigation between the companies would be settled. Page 8 of 18
3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion contains trend analysis and other forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 21A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Actual results could differ from those projected in the forward looking statements as a result of the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth below and in Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's revenues are generated by product and service sales. Product sales are comprised of the sale of Stereolithography Apparatus ("SLA") systems and related equipment, Actua 2100's, resins, software, and other component parts, as well as rentals of SLA systems. Service sales include revenues from maintenance, services provided by the Company's Tooling Centers, and customer training. The following table sets forth certain operating amounts and ratios as a percentage of total sales except as otherwise indicated: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Month Periods Ended Six Month Periods Ended --------------------------------- ---------------------------------- June 28, 1996 June 27, 1997 June 28, 1996 June 27, 1997 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Sales: (in thousands) Products $ 11,923 $ 14,111 $ 25,600 $ 27,709 Services 6,632 7,692 12,122 15,553 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total sales 18,555 21,803 37,722 43,262 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Cost of sales: Products 5,419 7,712 11,583 14,999 Services 4,177 5,636 7,668 11,139 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total cost of sales 9,596 13,348 19,251 26,138 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total gross profit 8,959 8,455 18,471 17,124 % of total sales 48.3% 38.8% 49.0% 39.6% Gross profit - products 6,504 6,399 14,017 12,710 % of total product sales 54.6% 45.3% 54.8% 45.9% Gross profit - services 2,455 2,056 4,454 4,414 % of total service sales 37.0% 26.7% 36.7% 28.4% Selling, general and administrative expenses 6,226 7,171 12,428 13,561 % of total sales 33.6% 32.9% 33.0% 31.4% Research and development expenses 1,826 2,011 3,652 3,942 % of total sales 9.8% 9.2% 9.7% 9.1% ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Income (loss) from operations 907 (727) 2,391 (379) % of total sales 4.9% (3.3%) 6.3% (.9%) Interest income, net 372 266 821 559 % of total sales 2.0% 1.2% 2.2% 1.3% Provision for income taxes (benefit) 478 (181) 1,290 72 % of total sales 2.6% (.8%) 3.4% .2% ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Net income (loss) 801 (280) 1,922 108 % of total sales 4.3% (1.3%) 5.1% .2% ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- </TABLE> Page 9 of 18

3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 27, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 28, 1996. SALES. Sales during the three month period ended June 27, 1997 (the "second quarter of 1997") were $21.8 million, an increase of 18% over the $18.6 million recorded during the three month period ended June 28, 1996 (the "second quarter of 1996"). Product sales during the second quarter of 1997 ($14.1 million) increased $2.2 million, compared to $11.9 million in the second quarter of 1996. The Company sold a total of 41 SLA systems in the second quarter of 1997. During the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold 33 SLAs. In addition, the Company sold a total of 27 Actua 2100's, the Company's low-priced office modeler (which uses a different technology than stereolithography), designed for operation in engineering and design offices. Orders for the Company's SLA systems in the second quarter of 1997 (compared to the second quarter of 1996) increased in both Europe and the Asia-Pacific markets but declined in the U.S. market and total SLA backlog at the end of the second quarter of 1997 was substantially lower than the end of the second quarter of 1996. The Company believes that the decline in U.S. orders in the second quarter of 1997 (when compared to the second quarter of 1996) was due primarily to the performance and termination of a number of the Company's independent domestic sales representatives ("agents") and competitive pressures. The Company's domestic marketing strategy had previously focused on a strong internal sales organization, as well as the utilization of agents (primarily, independent sales representatives in the machine tool industry). These sales agents however did not produce the level of sales expected by the Company during 1996. Additionally, the Company believed it could obtain better visibility and contact with its customers by utilizing a direct sales force. Accordingly, in August 1996, the Company terminated its arrangements with all of its sales agents and began recruiting additional personnel to strengthen its internal sales and support organization. Between September 1, 1996 and December 31, 1996, the Company completed the hiring of ten additional sales persons. Because of the long cycle for SLA system sales, the Company believes that the additions to its internal sales organization will not significantly increase domestic sales until the second half of 1997. While historically there has not always been an accurate correlation between orders and ending backlog in one quarter and revenues in the next quarter, the decline in U.S. SLA orders during the second quarter of 1997, coupled with potential inefficiencies caused by the recent changes in the domestic sales organization, may negatively impact domestic revenues during the second half of 1997. The Company believes that SLA system sales may fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the status of world economic conditions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the timing of product shipments (the current U.S. list price of an SLA-500, for example, is $490,000; thus the acceleration or delay of a small number of shipments from one quarter to another can significantly affect the results of operations for the quarters involved). Page 11 of 18
3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Service sales during the second quarter of 1997 increased $1.1 million or 16% compared to the second quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of increased maintenance revenues due to the larger installed base of SLA systems in the U.S. and Europe. COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $13.3 million or 61% of sales in the second quarter of 1997 from $9.6 million or 52% of sales in the second quarter of 1996. Product cost of sales as a percentage of product sales increased to 55% during the second quarter of 1997 compared to 45% during the second quarter of 1996. The increase in 1997 was primarily the result of greater discounting of European SLA system sales in 1997 due to competition; sales of the lower margin SLA 250/30A and Actua 2100 office modeler; greater domestic discounting due to competitive pricing pressures; price reductions to the SLA-250 Series 40 and Series 50 effected by the Company in January 1997; increased manufacturing overhead as a result of the transition of the Company's manufacturing activities from Valencia, California to a new and larger manufacturing facility in Grand Junction, Colorado; and the stronger U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 1997, as compared to the second quarter of 1996. These factors were partially offset by substantially reduced commission payments to agents as a result of the termination of domestic sales agents described above. The Company's gross profit margins on product sales are affected by several factors including, among others, sales mix, distribution channels and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and, therefore, may vary in future periods from those experienced during the second quarter of 1997. Additionally, the Company anticipates that the gross margins related to the Actua 2100 system will be lower than margins on its SLA systems, and, if revenues from the sales of Actua 2100 represent a material portion of the Company's product sales, gross margins from product sales would be reduced. Service cost of sales as a percentage of service sales increased to 73% during the second quarter of 1997 compared to 63% during the second quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of increased parts costs under our field maintenance contracts, lower revenue in our Tooling Centers and the effect of certain inefficiencies attributable to the Company's Keltool operations which were acquired in September 1996. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses increased approximately $945,000 or 15% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of a $500,000 non-recurring expense for severance benefits related to a restructuring plan designed to reduce costs and improve operating results and to the expanded sales and marketing programs in Europe. The Company currently anticipates that if its revenues continue to grow, S,G&A expenses as a percentage of total sales in future quarters should begin to decline, primarily as a result of economies of scale. However, these are forward looking statements and, as with other such statements, are subject to uncertainties. For example, if sales do not continue to grow over the period, it is less likely that S,G&A expenses as a percentage of total sales would decline. Page 12 of 18
3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development ("R&D") expenses during the second quarter of 1997 increased approximately $186,000 or 10% compared to the second quarter of 1996. The increase in R&D expenses in 1997 was primarily the result of increased personnel costs and experimental material related to certain development projects. Based on the Company's historical expenditures related to research and development and its current development goals, the Company anticipates for the foreseeable future, research and development expenses will be equal to approximately 8% to 10% of sales. However, this is a forward-looking statement and, as with any such statement, is subject to uncertainties. For example, if total sales of the Company for any particular period do not meet the anticipated sales of the Company for that period, research and development expenses as a percentage of sales may exceed the 8% to 10% level. OPERATING INCOME(LOSS). Operating loss for the second quarter of 1997 was 3.3% of total sales compared to operating income of 4.9% of total sales in the second quarter of 1996. The decrease in the percentage of operating income to total sales in 1997 was primarily attributable to the increases in cost of sales (both products and services) in 1997 and the non-recurring expense relating to severance benefits, described above. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES. Interest income decreased to $334,622 during the second quarter of 1997 from $376,777 during the second quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of the lower investment balances due to cash used for operating activities and investment activities since the second quarter of 1996 partially offset by interest income from lease receivables. Interest expense increased to $68,420 during the second quarter of 1997 from $5,158 in the second quarter of 1996 primarily as a result of the Company's financing of its Colorado facility which was effected in August 1996. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES(BENEFIT). For the second quarter of 1997, the Company's tax benefit was ($181,114) or 39% of pre-tax loss compared to tax expense of $477,939 or 37% of pre-tax income for the second quarter of 1996. The Company's anticipated tax rate for the remainder of 1997 is expected to approximate 40%. Page 13 of 18
3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 27, 1997 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 28, 1996. SALES. Sales during the six month period ended June 27, 1997 (the "first half of 1997") were $43.3 million, an increase of 15% over the $37.7 million recorded during the six month period ended June 28, 1996 (the "first half of 1996"). Product sales during the first half of 1997 ($27.7 million) increased $2.1 million or 8%, compared to $25.6 million in the first half of 1996. The Company sold a total of 74 SLA systems and a total of 59 Actua 2100's in the first half of 1997. During the first half of 1996, the Company sold 73 SLAs. Orders for the Company's SLA systems in the first half of 1997 (compared to the first half of 1996) increased in both Europe and the Asia-Pacific markets but declined in the U.S. market. The Company believes that the decline in U.S. orders in the first half of 1997 (when compared to the first half of 1996) was due primarily to the potential inefficiencies caused by the recent changes in the domestic sales organization as described above. Service sales during the first half of 1997 increased $3.4 million or 28% compared to the first half of 1996, primarily as a result of increased maintenance revenues due to the larger installed base of SLA systems in the U.S. and Europe. COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $26.1 million or 60% of sales in the first half of 1997 from $19.3 million or 51% of sales in the first half of 1996. Product cost of sales as a percentage of product sales increased to 54% during the first half of 1997 compared to 45% during the first half of 1996. The increase in 1997 was primarily the result of greater discounting of European SLA system sales in 1997 due to competition; sales of the lower margin SLA 250/30A and Actua 2100 office modeler; greater domestic discounting due to competitive pricing pressures; price reductions to the SLA-250 Series 40 and Series 50 effected by the Company in January 1997; increased manufacturing overhead as a result of the transition of the Company's manufacturing activities from Valencia, California to a new and larger manufacturing facility in Grand Junction, Colorado; and the stronger U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 1997, as compared to the second quarter of 1996. These factors were partially offset by substantially reduced commission payments to agents as a result of the termination of domestic sales agents described above. Service cost of sales as a percentage of service sales increased to 72% during the first half of 1997 compared to 63% during the first half of 1996, primarily as a result of certain hardware upgrades afforded SLA-500 customers with software maintenance contracts due to the Company's new NT version system software, increased parts costs under our field maintenance contracts, lower revenue in our Tooling Centers and the effect of certain inefficiencies attributable to the Company's Keltool operations which were acquired in September 1996. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses increased approximately $1,134,000 or 9% in the first half of 1997 compared to the first half of 1996, primarily as a result of a $500,000 non-recurring expense for severance benefits related to a restructuring plan designed to reduce costs and improve operating results and to the expanded sales and marketing programs in Europe.

3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development ("R&D") expenses during the first half of 1997 increased approximately $290,000 or 8% compared to the first half of 1996. The increase in R&D expenses in 1997 was primarily the result of increased personnel costs and experimental material related to certain development projects. OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating loss for the first half of 1997 was .9% of total sales compared to operating income 6.3% of total sales in the first half of 1996. The decrease in the percentage of operating income to total sales in 1997 was primarily attributable to the increases in cost of sales (both products and services) in 1997 and the increase in S,G&A expenses, described above. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES. Interest income decreased to $685,670 during the first half of 1997 from $832,294 during the first half of 1996, primarily as a result of the lower investment balances due to cash used for operating activities and investment activities since the second quarter of 1996 partially offset by interest income from lease receivables. Interest expense increased to $127,203 during the first half of 1997 from $11,498 in the first half of 1996 primarily as a result of the Company's financing of its Colorado facility which was effected in August 1996. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. For the first half of 1997, the Company's tax expense was 71,911 or 40% of pre-tax income compared to tax expense of $1,289,874 or 40% of pre-tax income for the first half of 1996. The Company's anticipated tax rate for the remainder of 1997 is expected to approximate 40%. Page 15 of 18

Net cash used for operating activities during the first half of 1997 was $3.6 million. The negative cash flow from operations during the first half of 1997, comprised primarily of an increase in lease receivables ($3.6 million), an increase in inventory ($3.5 million) as a result of an increase in SLA finished goods and raw materials (both Actua 2100 and SLA) and an increase in accounts receivable of $2.4 million was partially offset by non cash depreciation and amortization ($2.4 million), an increase in accounts payable ($2.0 million), and an increase in deferred revenues ($1.4 million). Net cash used for investing activities during the first half of 1997 totaled $1.3 million and was primarily the result of expenditures related to SLA equipment manufactured for use as demonstration equipment ($2.5 million) and the purchase of computers and manufacturing equipment ($1.5 million) due to an increase in personnel and increased production capacity which was substantially offset by the liquidation of short-term investments ($3.8 million). Net cash used for financing activities during the first half of 1997 was primarily the result of the Company's purchase of treasury stock and the repayment of a portion of the principal related to the $4.9 million tax-exempt industrial revenue development bond financing effected in August 1996 partially offset by the exercise of stock options. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, existing working capital and its current line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.
