The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

The Company’s debt at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $3,205 and $3,325, respectively, and represented industrial development revenue bonds related to the Grand Junction facility. See Note 3. The interest rate at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 1.65% and 3.52%, respectively. On May 7 and July 31, 2008, the bank waived the Company’s non-compliance with certain of the financial covenants set forth in this facility for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively, each in consideration for a $32 non-refundable waiver fee.
The Company ceased operations at its Grand Junction facility at the end of April 2006. The facility is currently listed for sale or lease. Upon sale of the Grand Junction facility, the Company expects to pay off the industrial development revenue bonds. Following cessation of operations at the Grand Junction facility, the Company reclassified these bonds from long-term debt to current liabilities. Once the Company’s obligations under these bonds have been satisfied, the Company expects the $1.2 million of cash restricted as part of the industrial development revenue bond agreements to be released to the Company.
Such restricted cash is held on deposit as partial security for the Company’s obligations under the industrial development revenue bonds discussed above, and therefore is not available to the Company for general use.

(7) | Hedging Activities and Financial Instruments |
The Company conducts business in various countries using both the functional currencies of those countries and other currencies to effect cross border transactions. As a result, the Company is subject to the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the dates that those transactions are entered into and their respective settlement dates will result in a foreign exchange gain or loss. When practicable, the Company endeavors to match assets and liabilities in the same currency on its balance sheet and those of its subsidiaries

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
in order to reduce these risks. The Company also, when it considers it appropriate, enters into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures arising from these transactions. The Company has not adopted hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, and all gains and losses (realized or unrealized) are recognized in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these contracts included contracts for the purchase of currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The dollar equivalent of the foreign currency contracts and the related fair values as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:

Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depending on their fair value at the end of the reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in prepaid expenses and other current assets or in accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The total impact of foreign currency items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 were gains (losses) of $(285) and $445, respectively, compared to gains (losses) of $(2) and $13 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.

(9) | Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The following table reconciles basic weighted average outstanding shares to diluted weighted average outstanding shares for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

On March 14, 2008, DSM Desotech Inc. filed a complaint in an action titled DSM Desotech Inc. v. 3D Systems Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) asserting that the Company engages in anticompetitive behavior with respect to resins used in large-frame stereolithography machines. The complaint further asserts that the Company is infringing two of DSM Desotech’s patents relating to stereolithography machines. The Company understands that DSM Desotech estimates the damages associated with its claims to be in excess of $40,000. On or about June 6, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the non-patent causes of action. The Company also filed an answer to the patent-related claims and asserted various defenses and counterclaims. The Company intends to continue to vigorously contest all of the claims asserted by DSM Desotech.
The Company is also involved in various other legal matters incidental to its business. The Company’s management believes, after consulting with counsel, that the disposition of these other legal matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

(13) | Fair Value Measurements |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 introduces a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. For financial assets and liabilities,

3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted the standard for those assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008, and the impact of adoption was not significant.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

(14) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which became effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R provides revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R also expands required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141R is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 141R on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 expands disclosures but does not change accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The statement will become effective for the Company starting in January 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q.
We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may affect our future performance that are discussed in greater detail in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors” at the end of this Item 2 and that are discussed or referred to in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q.
Business Overview
We design, develop, manufacture, market and service3-D modeling, rapid manufacturing, and prototyping systems and related products and materials that enable complex three-dimensional objects to be produced directly from computer data without tooling, greatly reducing the time and cost required to produce prototypes or customized production parts.
Our consolidated revenue is derived primarily from the sale of our systems, the sale of the related materials used by the systems to produce solid objects and the provision of services to our customers.
Recent Developments
New product developments
Since the beginning of 2008, we have continued our new product development and geographic expansion activities, resulting in the following:
| | |
| • | In January 2008, we launched the ProJettm HD 30003-D Production System, a new, professional, high-definition3-D modeler that is based on our patented and proprietary Multi-Jet Modeling technology. The ProJettm HD 30003-D Production System provides the choice of both high definition and ultra high definition build modes in a single system and is designed for a wide range of uses. |
|
| • | In February 2008, we launched our ProJettm DP 30003-D Production System, a3-D Modeler that is designed to accurately, consistently and economically manufacture precisionwax-ups for dental professionals. The user of the ProJettm DP Production System scans a model, designs a virtualwax-up using3-D software, then sends the data to the ProJettm Production System to “print”wax-ups in layers. The system can generate hundreds of units in each cycle. |
|
| • | With the previously reported electrical noise problem related to our new V-Flash® Desktop Modeler and the resulting delays to its planned commercial shipments, we did not make any commercial shipments, nor recognize any revenue from, the V-Flash® Desktop Modeler in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008. The V-Flash® Desktop Modeler is designed to build three-dimensional models within hours in a home or an office, enabling designers, engineers, hobbyists and students to imagine, design and build their ideas at their desks. The V-Flash® Desktop Modeler is the first product based on our new Film Transfer Imaging technology platform. |
|
| • | We launched the new Sinterstation® Pro DM100 and the DM250 SLM Systems, two direct metal laser sintering systems that quickly build fully-dense parts from a wide range of metal materials for functional parts, tooling and prototypes. |
|
| • | We began to sell our Accura® materials in Japan, expanding our portfolio of proven, dependable Accura® materials in Japan. |
|
| • | In May 2008, we launched a Pro-Parts Material Evaluation Web Site equipped with online pricing capability that may be used to order non-commercial Stereolithography (SLA®) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) parts, enabling more designers and engineers to experience the benefits of Additive Manufacturing technology. |

Summary of 2008 financial results
As discussed in greater detail below, for the second quarter of 2008, revenue increased 0.6% to $36.7 million from $36.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, primarily as a result of favorable foreign currency translation of ournon-U.S. dollar revenue, higher materials sales, and higher revenue from our recently-introduced3-D Printers, mostly offset by lower large-frame systems sales and a higher than normal incidence of used equipment sales. These used equipment sales, with lower margins than those we generally recognize on new systems, accounted for 20% of total systems sales in the second quarter. Approximately 33% of these used equipment units and 40% of the used equipment revenue involved the resale of systems that we acquired from Tangible Express in the first quarter of 2008. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 declined 7% to $68.4 million from $73.4 million in 2007, primarily due to anemic first quarter sales of large-frame systems.
Notwithstanding the sequential revenue growth over the first quarter of 2008, our second quarter 2008 revenue fell some $4 million short of our mid-June expectations primarily as a result of this year’s uncertain economic climate, and with that shortfall, we missed several other key targets.
The operating loss declined to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2008 from $4.9 million in the 2007 quarter. The improvement in operating results in the second quarter of 2008 resulted primarily from a reduction in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs. The loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 declined to $6.0 million from $7.0 million in 2007.
Our operating expenses declined $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to prior year periods, primarily reflecting lower SG&A expenses. We believe that our quarterly operating expenses are approaching a more normalized run rate. We expect our SG&A expenses for the second half of 2008 to fall in the range of $24 million to $26 million.
As used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the combined effect of changes in product mix and average selling prices, sometimes referred to as price and mix effects, relates to changes in revenue that are not able to be specifically related to changes in unit volume. Among these changes are changes in the product mix of our materials and our systems as the trend toward smaller, more economical systems has continued and the influence of new systems and materials on our operating results has grown. Our reporting systems are not currently configured to produce more quantitative information regarding the effect of price and mix changes on revenue.
Systems orders and sales tend to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the types of systems ordered by customers, customer acceptance of newly-introduced products, the timing of product orders and shipments, global economic conditions and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our customers generally purchase our systems as capital equipment items, and their purchasing decisions may have a long lead time. Due to the relatively high list price of certain systems and the overall low unit volume of systems sales in any particular period, the acceleration or delay of orders and shipments of a small number of systems from one period to another can significantly affect revenue reported for our systems for the period involved. Revenue reported for systems sales in any particular period is also affected by revenue recognition rules prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles. However, production and delivery of our systems is generally not characterized by long lead times, and backlog is therefore generally not a material factor in our business.
At June 30, 2008 our backlog declined to $1.1 million, a 65% reduction from the $3.1 million of backlog at December 31, 2007. We believe that our level of backlog at June 30, 2008 is generally consistent with the normal operating trends in our business.
Internal Controls
We have previously disclosed that at December 31, 2007 material weaknesses existed relating to our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to the oversight and review of our inventory costing system and the design and operation of controls for certain inventory shipments and recognition of the related revenue. We completed a number of remedial actions to correct these weaknesses during the first quarter of
16
2008, and, subject to the satisfactory testing of the remedial actions that we have taken, we believe that no additional remedial efforts to correct them are required. See Item 4, “Controls and Procedures,” below.
As part of our remediation efforts, we have adopted a variety of procedures to conduct additional detailed transaction reviews and control activities with regard to our financial statements for all periods that we have identified as being affected by the material weaknesses described above. As a result of these efforts, we believe that the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented and are free of material errors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Despite an increase in unit volume from the sale of small-frame systems and3-D Printers, revenue from systems and other products decreased by $1.2 million or 9% to $11.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2007, due to continued sluggish sales of large-frame systems and a higher than normal incidence of used equipment sales. Large-frame systems represented 25% of total systems revenue for the second quarter of 2008, while sales of small-frame systems and3-D Printers accounted for the remaining 75%, compared to 70% in the 2007 second quarter. Revenue from3-D Printers was helped by growing demand for our Dental Professional Printers and grew to 26% of total systems sales in the second quarter. Systems and other products comprised 31.3% of consolidated revenue in the 2008 quarter compared to 34.8% in the 2007 quarter. The decrease from 2007 arose primarily from a $3.2 million decrease in the volume of core and new products, partially offset by a favorable $1.6 million combined effect of price and mix and a $0.5 million favorable impact from foreign currency translation.
Revenue from materials increased by $1.3 million or 9% to $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2008, from $14.9 million for the 2007 quarter and comprised 44.3% of consolidated revenue in the 2008 quarter compared to 41.0% in the 2007 quarter. The increase was primarily due to the growing contribution of recurring revenue from our newer integrated systems. For the second quarter of 2008, our integrated systems accounted for 26% of all materials revenue, reflecting a 4% sequential improvement over the first quarter of 2008. The increase in materials revenue from 2007 reflected a $1.9 million favorable impact of price and mix and $1.1 million of favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in materials volume.
Revenue from services increased by $0.1 million or 1% to $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2008, from $8.8 million for the 2007 quarter and increased to 24.4% of consolidated revenue from 24.2% for the
17
2007 quarter. The increase was primarily the result of favorable foreign currency translation of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in product services volume of $0.5 million.
Six month comparison of revenue by class of product and service

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
On a consolidated basis, revenue for the first six months of 2008 declined by 7% to $68.4 million from $73.4 million for the first six months of 2007. The principal factors leading to this decline in consolidated revenue were decreases in large-frame systems unit volume, partially offset by the favorable combined effect of price and mix and the favorable effect of foreign currency translation.
In the absence of significant large-frame systems sales, revenue from systems and other products decreased by $6.5 million or 25% to $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $25.9 million in the same period of 2007 and comprised 28.3% of consolidated revenue for the first six months of 2008 compared to 35.2% in the 2007 period. The decline arose primarily from an $8.9 million decrease in the volume of systems sold, partially offset by a favorable $1.3 million combined effect of price and mix and a $1.0 million favorable impact from foreign currency translation.
Revenue from materials increased by $0.9 million or 3% to $31.1 million for the first six months of 2008, from $30.3 million for the 2007 period and comprised 45.5% of consolidated revenue for the first six months of 2008 compared to 41.3% in the 2007 period. For the first six months of 2008, our integrated systems accounted for 24% of all materials revenue. The increase from 2007 was primarily the result of a $1.9 million increase in new materials volume and $2.1 million of favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in core materials volume. The materials increase as a percentage of total revenue was partially due to the decline in revenue from systems and other products in the 2008 period.
Revenue from services increased by $0.8 million or 4% to $18.0 million for the first six months of 2008, from $17.2 million for the same period of 2007 and increased to 26.2% of consolidated revenue from 23.5% for the 2007 period. The increase was primarily the result of favorable foreign currency translation of $1.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in product services volume of $0.3 million. The services increase as a percentage of total revenue was partially due to the decline in revenue from systems and other products in the 2008 period.

Revenue from U.S. operations declined by $0.7 million or 4% to $16.1 million, from $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease was due to lower volume, partially offset by the favorable combined effect of price and mix.
Revenue from European operations declined slightly to $14.9 million, from $15.0 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was due to a $3.5 million decline in volume, mostly offset by a favorable combined effect of price and mix and a $1.6 million favorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Revenue from Asia-Pacific operations increased by $0.9 million or 19% to $5.7 million, from $4.7 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to $0.5 million in favorable foreign currency translation and a favorable $0.4 million combined effect of changes in price and mix.

Revenue from U.S. operations declined by $4.8 million or 15% to $28.1 million, from $32.9 million in the first six months of 2007. The decrease was due to lower systems volume, partially offset by the favorable combined effect of price and mix.
19
Revenue from European operations declined by $0.5 million or 2% to $30.6 million, from $31.1 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.9 million decline in volume, partially offset by a $3.2 million favorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Revenue from Asia-Pacific operations increased $0.4 million or 4% to $9.8 million, from $9.4 million in the prior year period due primarily to $0.9 million in favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by the unfavorable $0.4 million combined effect of changes in price and mix and a decrease in volume of $0.2 million.

The consolidated gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2008 was down to 36.3% of revenue from 37.0% of revenue for the 2007 quarter. On a consolidated basis, gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 decreased by $0.2 million to $13.3 million from $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, primarily as a result of lower large-frame systems sales, which resulted in absorption of overhead over fewer units, a higher than normal incidence of used equipment sales, and a change in systems revenue mix toward small-frame systems and3-D Printers. The used equipment, small-frame systems and3-D Printers generally generate lower gross profit margins than new large-frame systems. We believe the higher than normal incidence of used equipment sales in the quarter accounted for an approximate 200 basis points reduction in our quarterly gross profit margin. These declines were partially offset by higher materials revenue, which carries the highest gross profit margin of any of our classes of products or services. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by higher warranty costs ($0.3 million), duplicate supply chain costs related to our efforts to discontinue the outsourcing of our domestic logistics activities and to relocate them to our facility in Rock Hill ($0.1 million), and by the costs associated with the plannedbuild-up of our V-Flash® Desktop Modeler finished goods inventory in anticipation of commercial shipments of this new system once we are fully satisfied with it ($0.4 million). The increase in cost of sales also included $1.6 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange effects related to the decline in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Most of this currency effect relates to materials that we purchase or produce outside the United States. We have begun taking steps to mitigate this foreign exchange exposure. These steps include transferring production of certain of these materials that are sold in U.S. dollars to the United States and more closely managing the hedging of our currency exposure to items that we acquire or produce in other currencies. We believe that the combined impact of the items mentioned above, including the adverse impact from higher sales of used equipment, negatively affected our gross profit margin by approximately 5 percentage points in the second quarter after offsetting the favorable effect of foreign currency translation on revenue for the quarter.
The combined effect of the lower systems sales, higher than normal incidence of used equipment sales, unfavorable foreign exchange rate effects, higher warranty costs, duplicate supply chain costs, and V-Flash® inventory costs impaired our progress toward improving our gross profit margins. We are working on additional gross profit improvement objectives, which include returning domestic third-party logistics activities in-house and improving the quality of certain warranty parts that third parties supply to us. However, we
20
anticipate that our plannedbuild-up of V-Flash® inventory and subsequent shipments will adversely impact gross profit margins by $0.5 million to $1.0 million per quarter for the near term.
Systems gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 decreased by $0.7 million or 27% to $2.0 million, from $2.7 million for the 2007 quarter, and gross profit margins for systems decreased by 4 percentage points to 17.4% of revenue from 21.5% of revenue in the 2007 quarter, primarily due to many of the reasons discussed above.
Materials gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 increased by $0.9 million or 10% to $9.9 million, from $9.0 million for the 2007 quarter, and gross profit margins for materials increased to 61.1% of revenue from 60.3% of revenue in the 2007 quarter.
Gross profit for services for the second quarter of 2008 decreased by $0.4 million or 20% to $1.4 million, from $1.8 million for the 2007 quarter, and gross profit margins for services decreased by 4 percentage points to 15.7% of revenue from 19.8% of revenue in the 2007 quarter. The decline in gross profit margin was primarily due to higher warranty costs.
Gross profit and gross profit margins — Six Months
Table 6 sets forth gross profit and gross profit margins for our products and services for the first six months of 2008 and 2007:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The consolidated gross profit margin for the first six months of 2008 decreased to 39.1% of revenue from 40.0% of revenue for the same period of 2007. On a consolidated basis, gross profit for the first six months of 2008 decreased by $2.6 million to $26.7 million, from $29.4 million in the same period of 2007, primarily as a result of lower large-frame systems sales, which resulted in absorption of overhead over fewer units, partially offset by higher materials revenue, which carries the highest gross profit margin of any of our classes of products or services. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by certain supply chain and third-party logistics inefficiencies, which resulted in higher cost of goods sold and additional freight charges, and by higher warranty costs. The change in cost of sales also included $2.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange effects related to the decline in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Most of this currency effect relates to materials that we purchase or produce outside the United States.
Systems gross profit for the first six months of 2008 decreased by $4.3 million or 56% to $3.4 million, from $7.7 million for the same period in 2007, and gross profit margins for systems decreased by 12 percentage points to 17.5% of revenue from 29.9% of revenue in the 2007 period. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to the decline in volume, which resulted in the absorption of fixed costs over fewer units.
Materials gross profit for the first six months of 2008 increased by $1.1 million or 6% to $19.6 million, from $18.5 million for the 2007 period, and gross profit margins for materials increased by 2 percentage points to 62.8% of revenue from 61.0% of revenue in the 2007 period.
Gross profit for services for the first six months of 2008 increased by $0.6 million or 20% to $3.8 million, from $3.2 million for the same period in 2007, and gross profit margins for services increased by 3 percentage points to 21.1% of revenue from 18.4% of revenue in the 2007 period. The improved gross profit was due to
21
the combined effect of a decline in fixed costs associated with our decision to cease servicing certain legacy products and the favorable effect of foreign currency translation on service revenue, partially offset by higher warranty costs.
Operating expenses
As shown in Table 7, total operating expenses decreased by $2.3 million or 12% to $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, from $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. This decrease was due to $2.3 million in lower SG&A expenses, partially offset by a minor increase in research & development (“R&D”) expenses.

As shown in Table 8, total operating expenses decreased by $3.6 million or 10% to $32.8 million in the first six months of 2008, from $36.4 million in the same period of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to $4.1 million in lower SG&A expenses, partially offset by $0.6 million of increased R&D expenses, both of which are discussed below.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A expenses declined $2.3 million to $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2007, related to:
| | |
| • | $1.1 million of lower contract labor and consultant costs; |
|
| • | $0.9 million in lower accounting and legal fees; and |
|
| • | $0.3 million decline in stock-based compensation expense. |
SG&A expenses would have declined even further if not for a $0.6 million unfavorable impact related to the decline in the U.S. dollar exchange rate relative to other currencies.
SG&A expenses declined $4.1 million to $25.6 million for the first six months of 2008, compared to $29.8 million for the same period of 2007, related to:
| | |
| • | $2.3 million of lower contract labor and consultant costs; |
|
| • | $1.8 million decline in severance and stock-based compensation expense; and |
|
| • | $1.2 million in lower accounting and legal fees. |
22
Partially offsetting the decline was:
| | |
| • | $0.6 million of expenses associated with the previously disclosed first quarter Audit Committee investigation of anonymous claims of wrongdoing by certain members of management; and |
|
| • | $0.3 million increase in bad debt expense. |
SG&A expenses for the six months would have declined even further if not for a $1.1 million unfavorable impact related to the decline in the U.S. dollar exchange rate relative to other currencies.
The reduction in SG&A expenses is a continuing trend. However, we are not satisfied with the slower than expected progress in carrying out SG&A cost reductions. As a result, we have decided to undertake additional cost reduction programs, including curtailment of certain planned discretionary expenses for the balance of 2008. We believe SG&A expenses are beginning to approach a more normalized run rate, and we expect SG&A expenses for the second half of 2008 to fall in the range of $24 million to $26 million.
Research and development expenses
R&D expenses increased 1% to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. R&D expenses increased by 8% to $7.2 million in the first six months of 2008, from $6.6 million in the same period of 2007. R&D costs in 2008 included costs associated with the V-Flash® Desktop Modeler and other new product development activities.
We plan to continue to work on selected new product developments, and we expect to incur approximately $7 million to $8 million of R&D expenses in the second half of 2008.
Operating income (loss)
As discussed above, declines in SG&A expenses and higher materials revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2008 were among the factors that contributed to the improvement in operating results compared to the 2007 periods.
The following table sets forth the operating income or loss by geographic area for the second quarter and first six months of 2008 and 2007:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
With respect to the United States, in 2008 and 2007, the changes in the operating loss reflected the same factors that affected our consolidated operating loss discussed above. As most of our operations outside the U.S. are conducted through sales and marketing subsidiaries, the changes in operating income (loss) in our operations outside the U.S. resulted primarily from changes in transfer pricing and in foreign currency translation.
Interest and other expense, net
Interest and other expense, net for the second quarter of 2008 declined to $0.2 million from $0.6 million in the 2007 second quarter. For the six month period, interest and other expense, net declined to $0.3 million
23
in 2008 from $1.2 million in 2007. The declines resulted from interest income generated by higher cash balances and lower interest expense due to the absence in 2008 of bank borrowings as well as the absence of our 6% convertible subordinated debentures which were converted into Common Stock in July 2007.
Provision for income taxes
We recorded a provision for (benefit of) income taxes of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $(0.2) million and $0.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. Our provision for income taxes primarily reflects tax expense associated with income taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
Net loss
The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 declined to $3.3 million ($0.15 per share), from a net loss of $5.3 million ($0.27 per share) in the 2007 second quarter. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 declined to $7.0 million ($0.31 per share), from a net loss of $8.4 million ($0.44 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The reduction in the net loss in each period resulted from the factors discussed above affecting operating losses, interest and other expense, net and income taxes.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
During the first six months of 2008, our primary sources of liquidity were cash on hand and cash flow from financing activities, and our uses of cash were for operating and investing activities. While we do not currently anticipate a need for bank borrowings given our current cash position, we intend to consider obtaining a new credit facility as conditions in the credit markets and our performance improve and as we become able to negotiate acceptable terms for such a facility. See “Cash flow” and “Outstanding debt and capitalized lease obligations” below.
Working capital
Our net working capital decreased by $7.3 million to $33.6 million at June 30, 2008, from $40.9 million at December 31, 2007. Table 10 provides a summary of the net changes in working capital items between these two dates.

Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents declined by $10.6 million to $19.1 million, from $29.7 million at December 31, 2007. This decrease resulted from $8.4 million of cash used in operating activities including the $5.3 million purchase of Tangible Express’ equipment in the first quarter, $3.5 million of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by $0.9 million of cash provided by financing activities and a favorable $0.4 million effect of exchange rate changes on cash. See “Cash Flow” below
Accounts receivable, net of allowances, decreased by $2.6 million to $28.5 million at June 30, 2008, from $31.1 million at December 31, 2007. This decline is reflective of the respective quarterly revenue level. Accounts receivable declined despite an increase of days’ sales outstanding to 70 days at June 30, 2008 from 64 days at December 31, 2007. Accounts receivable more than 90 days past due increased to 11% of gross receivables at June 30, 2008 from 6% of gross receivables at December 31, 2007.
Components of inventories at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:

| | | | | | | | |
Inventories, net | | $ | 26,085 | | | $ | 20,041 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Inventories increased by $6.0 million to $26.1 million at June 30, 2008, from $20.0 million at December 31, 2007. This increase in inventory resulted from short-term materials and systems inventory purchases that we undertook to support future revenue. Specifically, the inventory increase was driven by $3.7 million of purchases in the 2008 second quarter of direct metals systems,3-D Printers including V-Flash® Desktop Modelers, and certain key components to support future production of3-D Printers. Additionally, as discussed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our purchase of equipment from Tangible Express accounted for a portion of the increase in inventory. We maintained $2.7 million of inventory reserves at June 30, 2008 and $2.3 million of such reserves at December 31, 2007. Due to the short-term inventory investments, we have not made progress towards our previously-stated inventory reduction goals. Based on our current go-to-market strategy, we still expect inventories to decline to between $20 million and $22 million by the end of 2008.
In connection with our outsourcing activities with our third-party assemblers, we sell to them components from time to time of our raw materials inventory related to systems that they assemble. We record those sales in our financial statements as a product financing arrangement under SFAS No. 49, “Accounting for Product Financing Arrangements.” Continuing a trend of reducing such balances, we held no SFAS No. 49 inventory sold to assemblers at June 30, 2008, compared to $0.2 million of such inventory at December 31, 2007, and we had a corresponding accrued liability representing our non-contractual obligation to repurchase assembled systems and refurbished parts produced from such inventory.
With the outsourcing of substantially all of our equipment assembly and refurbishment activities, the majority of our inventory now consists of finished goods, including primarily systems, materials and service parts, as our third-party assemblers have taken over supply-chain responsibility for the assembly and refurbishment of systems. As a result, we generally no longer hold in inventory most parts for systems production or refurbishment. In calculating inventory reserves, we direct our attention to spare parts that we hold in inventory and that we expect to be used over the expected life cycles of the related systems, to inventory related to the blending of our engineered materials and composites and to our ability to sell items that are recorded in finished goods inventory, a large portion of which are new systems.
25
The components of prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:

| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 3,648 | | | $ | 4,429 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Our prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $0.8 million to $3.6 million at June 30, 2008, from $4.4 million at December 31, 2007, which included a $1.3 million reduction in non-trade receivables and progress payments. The non-trade receivables shown in Table 12, the inventory held by assemblers shown in Table 11, and a related accrued liability in an amount that corresponds to the book value of inventory held by assemblers included in accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to the accounting for our outsourcing arrangements pursuant to SFAS No. 49. The non-trade receivables shown in Table 12 declined by $0.6 million from December 31, 2007 to $0.5 million at June 30, 2008 as a result of a reduction in semi-finished systems and parts that our third-party assemblers purchased from us to complete the assembly of systems for which we had not received payment from them at period end. VAT and sales tax refunds increased by $0.7 million to $1.3 million at June 30, 2008.
Accounts payable declined by $0.2 million to $20.5 million at June 30, 2008, from $20.7 million at December 31, 2007. The decline was primarily due to higher payables that corresponded to higher revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
Customer deposits increased by $2.1 million as we deferred the revenue in the first six months of 2008 related to certain deposits made during the period.
Deferred revenue decreased by $0.4 million to $11.3 million at June 30, 2008, from $11.7 million at December 31, 2007, primarily due to a net decrease in maintenance contracts, installation, training and warranty revenue in the first six months of 2008.
The changes in the first six months of 2008 that comprise the other components of working capital not discussed above arose in the ordinary course of business. These components of working capital include $10.2 million of accrued liabilities, $0.2 million in current installments of capitalized lease obligations, $1.2 million of restricted cash and $3.5 million in assets held for sale related to our Grand Junction facility.
As discussed elsewhere in thisForm 10-Q, we closed the Grand Junction facility late in April 2006 and subsequently listed it for sale, with $3.5 million of net assets related to that facility recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets held for sale at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Also, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we have a current liability of $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, consisting of the outstanding principal amount of the industrial development revenue bonds that financed this facility. We continue to actively market this facility. See Notes 3 and 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Differences between the amounts of working capital item changes in the cash flow statement and the amounts of balance sheet changes for those items are primarily the result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Cash flow from operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we used $8.4 million of net cash for operating activities. This use of cash consisted of our $7.0 million net loss and $5.7 million of cash consumed by net changes in operating accounts, partially offset by $4.4 million of non-cash items included in our net loss.
Changes in operating accounts that resulted in a use of cash included the following:
| | |
| • | An increase in inventories of $7.6 million; |
|
| • | A decrease in accrued liabilities of $2.7 million; and |
|
| • | A decrease in accounts payable of $1.6 million. |
Changes in operating accounts that resulted in a source of cash included the following:
| | |
| • | A decrease in net receivables of $4.4 million; and |
|
| • | An increase in customer deposits of $2.0 million. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we used $7.6 million of net cash for operating activities. This use of cash consisted of an $8.4 million net loss and $4.8 million of cash consumed by net changes in operating accounts, partially offset by $5.6 million of non-cash items included in the net loss.
Changes in operating accounts that resulted in a use of cash included the following:
| | |

| • | A decrease in customer deposits of $5.0 million; and |
|
| • | A decrease in accrued liabilities of $1.4 million. |
Changes in operating accounts that resulted in a source of cash included the following:
| | |
| • | A decrease in receivables of $8.6 million; |
|
| • | A decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.6 million; and |
|
| • | An increase in deferred revenue of $1.0 million. |
Cash flow from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2008 increased to $3.5 million from $1.0 million for the first six months of 2007. This increase was primarily due to our higher level of 2008 capital expenditures.
27
Cash flow from financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This decrease resulted primarily from the absence in the 2008 period of $20.6 million of proceeds related to the private placement of common stock in June 2007.
Outstanding debt and capitalized lease obligations
At June 30, 2008, industrial development revenue bonds and capitalized lease obligations decreased to $12.0 million from $12.2 million at December 31, 2007, due to scheduled payments of principal on our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds and capital lease installments.
Our outstanding industrial development revenue bonds and capitalized lease obligations at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:

| | | | | | | | |
Total debt | | $ | 11,960 | | | $ | 12,169 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Capitalized lease obligations
Our outstanding capitalized lease obligations relate to two lease agreements that we entered into during 2006 with respect to our Rock Hill, South Carolina facility, one of which covers the facility itself and the other of which covers certain furniture and fixtures that we acquired for use in the facility. The carrying value of the headquarters facility and the furniture and fixture leases at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $8.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively.
Industrial development revenue bonds
Our Grand Junction, Colorado facility was financed by industrial development revenue bonds in the original aggregate principal amount of $4.9 million. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding principal amount of these bonds was $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Interest on the bonds accrues at a variable rate of interest and is payable monthly. The interest rate at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 1.65% and 3.52%, respectively. Principal payments are due in semi-annual installments through August 2016. We reclassified this indebtedness to current indebtedness in 2006 in anticipation of the sale of the Grand Junction facility. We have made all scheduled payments of principal and interest on these bonds. The bonds are collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on the facility, a security interest in certain equipment and an irrevocable letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. pursuant to the terms of a reimbursement agreement between us and Wells Fargo. We are required to pay an annual letter of credit fee equal to 1% of the stated amount of the letter of credit.
This letter of credit is in turn collateralized by $1.2 million of restricted cash that Wells Fargo holds, which we reclassified as a short-term asset during 2006 in anticipation of the sale of the Grand Junction
28
facility. Wells Fargo has a security interest in that restricted cash as partial security for the performance of our obligations under the reimbursement agreement. We have the right, which we have not exercised, to substitute a standby letter of credit issued by a bank acceptable to Wells Fargo as collateral in place of the funds held by Wells Fargo.
The reimbursement agreement, as amended, contains financial covenants that require, among other things, that we maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the reimbursement agreement) of $23 million plus 50% of net income from July 1, 2001 forward and a fixed-charge coverage ratio (as defined in the reimbursement agreement) of no less than 1.25 to 1.00. We are required to demonstrate our compliance with these financial covenants as of the end of each calendar quarter. On May 7 and July 31, 2008, the bank waived our non-compliance with certain of the financial covenants set forth in this facility for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively, each in consideration for a $32 non-refundable waiver fee.
Financial instruments
We conduct business in various countries using both the functional currencies of those countries and other currencies to effect cross border transactions. As a result, we are subject to the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the dates that those transactions are entered into and their respective settlement dates will result in a foreign exchange gain or loss. When practicable, we endeavor to match assets and liabilities in the same currency on our balance sheet and those of our subsidiaries in order to reduce these risks. We also, when appropriate, enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures arising from these transactions. We have not adopted hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, and we recognize all gains and losses (realized or unrealized) in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The dollar equivalent of our foreign currency contracts and their related fair values as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:
Table 15

| | | | | | | | |
Net unrealized gain (loss) | | $ | 28 | | | $ | (14 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the notional amount of these contracts at their respective settlement dates amounted to $1.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The 2008 and 2007 contracts related primarily to purchases of inventory from third parties. The notional amount of the purchase contracts aggregated CHF 1.3 million and CHF 3.3 million, respectively.
The net fair value of all foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 reflected nominal unrealized gains and losses. The foreign currency contracts outstanding at June 30, 2008 expired at various times between July 9, 2008 and July 30, 2008. The foreign currency contracts outstanding at December 31, 2007 expired at various times between January 3, 2008 and February 13, 2008.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depending on their fair value at the end of the reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in prepaid expenses and other current assets or in accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The total impact of foreign currency items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 were gains (losses) of $(0.3) million and $0.4 million, respectively, compared to nominal gains or losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.
29
Stockholders’ equity
Stockholders’ equity decreased by $3.5 million to $101.3 million at June 30, 2008, from $104.8 million at December 31, 2007. This decrease was comprised of the $7.0 million net loss for the first six months of 2008, partially offset by:
| | |
| • | $1.1 million of net proceeds from stock option exercises during the first six months of 2008; |
|
| • | $0.9 million of stock compensation expense recorded in stockholders’ equity in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) during the first six months of 2008; and |
|
| • | $1.6 million of foreign currency translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income. |

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q that are not statements of historical or current facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
In addition to statements that explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider statements in future or conditional tenses or that include terms such as “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates” or “plans” to be uncertain and forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include comments as to our beliefs and expectations as to future events and trends affecting our business. Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s current expectations concerning future events and trends and are necessarily subject to uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. The factors stated under the heading “Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors” set forth below and those described in our other SEC reports, including ourForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as well as other factors, could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected or predicted in forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, using information currently available to us. We assume no obligation, and do not intend, to update these forward-looking statements.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those reflected in or suggested by forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement you read in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or individuals acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. You should specifically consider the factors identified or referred to in thisForm 10-Q and our other SEC reports, including our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which would cause actual results to differ from those referred to in forward-looking statements.
30
Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors
We recognize that we are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may affect our future performance. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem not to be material also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer. In that event the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our Common Stock. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
These risks include and relate to:
| | |
| • | our access to financing and other sources of capital and our ability to generate cash flow from operations; |

| • | our stock may be delisted if we fail to file our periodic filings required to be filed with the SEC on a timely basis; |
|
| • | any failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security lapse in the enterprise resource systems or the related technology that we rely on could adversely affect our ability to effectively operate our business; |
|
| • | the continuing risk in transitioning our inventory management and distribution functions from our third-party service provider; |
|
| • | the impact of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which negatively impacts our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner; |
|
| • | our ability to successfully centralize and transition to a new shared service center for most administrative functions for all of our European subsidiaries; |
|
| • | changes in energy-related expenses; |
|
| • | the effect new pronouncements by accounting authorities may have on operational, financial and reporting aspects of our Company; |
|
| • | our success in entering new market places and acquiring and integrating new businesses; |
|
| • | the impact of the mix of products on our gross profit margin, which could cause fluctuations in our net income or loss; |
|
| • | our potential involvement in product liability claims and litigation; |
|
| • | competitive factors; |
|
| • | our ability to develop and commercialize successful new products; |
|
| • | our dependence upon a single or limited number of suppliers for components and sub-assemblies; |
|
| • | our dependence upon our suppliers generally; |
|
| • | factors beyond our control that cause fluctuations in our operating results; |
|
| • | the costs from our business outside the U.S. may increase or our revenue from such operations may decrease, which could have a significant impact on our overall results of operations and financial condition; |
31
| | |
| • | political and economic events and the uncertainty from them may have a material adverse effect on our market opportunities; |
|
| • | laws that inhibit takeovers; |
|
| • | variations in our operating results from quarter to quarter; |
|
| • | the low daily trading volume of our Common Stock and the volatility of our stock price; |
|
| • | dilution of ownership and negative impact on the market price of our common stock due to the exercise of our outstanding stock options; |
|
| • | our ability to issue preferred stock; and |
|
| • | our debt level. |

Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
| |
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
For a discussion of market risks at December 31, 2007, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the first six months of 2008, there were no material changes or developments that would materially alter the market risk assessment performed as of December 31, 2007, except as discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resource section under Financial Instruments.
| |
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of June 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined inRules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant toRules 13a-15 and15d-15 under the Exchange Act. These controls and procedures are designed to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that is intended to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As a result of this evaluation and recognizing the material weaknesses that we identified in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures remained ineffective as of June 30, 2008. In making this determination, we took into account the remedial actions that we are taking, have taken and have disclosed with respect to these material weaknesses and our belief, which is discussed below, that, subject to the testing of the effectiveness of our remedial actions as of December 31, 2008, we have substantially completed the remediation of those material weaknesses. Notwithstanding our efforts, there is a risk that we ultimately may be unable to achieve the goal of fully remedying these material weaknesses and that the corrective actions that we have implemented and are implementing may not fully remedy the material weaknesses that we have identified and disclosed or prevent similar or other control deficiencies or material weaknesses from having an adverse impact on our business and results of operations or our ability to timely make required SEC filings in the future.
32
In any case, based on a number of factors, including our performance of manual procedures to provide assurance of the proper collection, evaluation and disclosure of the information included in our consolidated financial statements, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP and that they are free of material errors.
Internal control over financial reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
As a result of the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, our management concluded that as of June 30, 2008 we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
After having identified those material weaknesses in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2007, we have been working to identify and remedy the causes of the problems that led to the existence of those material weaknesses, and we believe that:
| | |
| • | we have identified the primary causes of and appropriate remedial actions for these problems; |
|
| • | we have, except as otherwise noted below and subject to the completion of testing that we are conducting and plan to complete as of December 31, 2008, remedied substantially all of these material weaknesses; and |
|
| • | we are continuing to implement additional appropriate corrective measures to enable us to determine that those material weaknesses have been fully remedied. |
With respect to testing, we have adopted, and pursued during the first six months of 2008, a program that is designed to evaluate whether the remedial actions we have taken have been in effect for a sufficient period of time to determine their effectiveness as well as to test the effectiveness of those remedial actions. Notwithstanding our efforts, there is a risk that we ultimately may be unable to achieve the goal of fully remedying these material weaknesses and that the corrective actions that we have implemented and are continuing to implement may not fully remedy the material weaknesses that we have identified or prevent similar or other control deficiencies or material weaknesses from having an adverse impact on our business and results of operations or our ability to timely make required SEC filings in the future.
The remedial actions that we implemented during the first quarter of 2008 to remedy these material weaknesses included the following:
1. With respect to a lack of oversight and review of our inventory costing system, we:
| | |
| • | Transitioned away from spreadsheet-basedlook-ups and calculations andset-up enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system reports to retrieve and validate data for various inventory accounts; |
|
| • | Set up reports and schedules in our ERP system to tie reserve amounts into in order to better assure accurate information and reporting; |
|
| • | Added an additional level of review for manual calculations; and |
|
| • | Activated ERP system functionality to eliminate certain manual processes. |
33
2. With respect to the ineffective design and operation of controls for certain inventory shipments and recognition of the related revenue, we:
| | |
| • | Worked with the third-party service provider that we utilize for outsourcing logistics and warehousing of our spare-parts inventory and certain of our finished goods supply activities to provide more timely and accurate information; and |
|
| • | Implemented specific period-end cut-off testing to ensure that revenue and expenses are being recorded in proper periods. |
Subject to testing, we believe that no additional remedial actions were necessary in the second quarter of 2008.
There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q 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. |
On March 14, 2008, DSM Desotech Inc. filed a complaint in an action titled DSM Desotech Inc. v. 3D Systems Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) asserting that we engage in anticompetitive behavior with respect to resins used in large-frame stereolithography machines. The complaint further asserts that we are infringing two of DSM Desotech’s patents relating to stereolithography machines. We understand that DSM Desotech estimates the damages associated with its claims to be in excess of $40 million. On or about June 6, 2008, we filed a motion to dismiss the non-patent causes of action. We also filed an answer to the patent-related claims and asserted various defenses and counterclaims. We intend to continue to vigorously contest all of the claims asserted by DSM Desotech.
We are also involved in various other legal matters incidental to our business. Our management believes, after consulting with counsel, that the disposition of these other legal matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
