Preferred Stock
Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On November 24, 1999, the Company entered into a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the private placement of 8,425,000 shares of a newly authorized series of preferred stock (“Series B Preferred”). The Company received net proceeds of $1,538,000 from the sale of 8,425,000 shares of Series B Preferred to thirty-three (33) private investors (all of whom were accredited investors as defined in Regulation D) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. The purchasers of Series B Preferred also received Common Stock purchase warrants exercisable for a cumulative total of 3,622,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. These warrants are exercisable for a period of one year, commencing November 24, 1999. The financing was completed in accordance with the exemption provide d by Rule 506 of Regulation D.
In connection with the Series B financing, the Company paid a cash finder’s fee in the approximate amount of $100,000. In addition, the finders received warrants exercisable for 498,750 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.20 per share. These warrants are exercisable for a period of one year, commencing November 24, 1999.
At a special stockholders meeting held on April 20, 1998, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. This amendment authorizes the Company’s Board of Directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series on terms approved by the Board of Directors without the necessity of further action or approval by the stockholders. Pursuant to this authority, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of up to 8,425,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock having rights and preferences as set forth in a Statement of Rights and Preferences filed with the Secretary of State of Wyoming on November 23, 1999. The following is a summary of certain terms of the Series B Preferred, and reference is made to the Statement for a complete desc ription of the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred.
The Series B Preferred is not entitled to any fixed or guaranteed dividend. Upon a liquidation of the Company, the Series B Preferred is entitled to receive a distribution of $0.20 per share in preference to any distribution to holders of Common Stock or junior preferred stock. The approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred is required for certain significant corporate actions, including mergers and sales of substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Each share of Series B Preferred is initially convertible into one share of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment for recapitalizations, stock splits and similar events. Subject to certain exceptions, the Series B conversion ratio is subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration less than the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of such issuance. The Series B Preferred automatically converts into Common Stock in the event the average trading price of the Company’s Common Stock over 60 consecutive trading days is greater than $1.00 per share and the cumulative trading volume during such 60 day period is at least 1,000,000 shares, if traded on a national securities exchange, or 1,500,000 shares if traded on NASDAQ or over-the-counter. The Series B Preferred also au tomatically converts into Common Stock in the event the Company completes an underwritten public offering in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 and at a per share price of at least $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations, etc.).
The holders of Series B Preferred may tender their shares for redemption at a per share price equal to 150% of the liquidation preference in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Statement). In addition, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series B Preferred at a per share price equal to 150% of the liquidation preference in the event that, from and after November 24, 2000, the Common Stock trades above $0.75 per share for sixty (60) consecutive trading days. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, one investor converted 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred into 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Purchasers of Series B Preferred are also parties to an Investor Rights Agreement which grants certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The holders of Series B Preferred, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation
Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company’s current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, among others (i) customer acceptance of the Company’s “one stop shop” Parts Now program; (ii) the possible emergence of competing technologies; and (iii) depending on results of operations, the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing required to continue its operations. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In view of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB will in fact transpire.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Financial Statements of Soligen Technologies, Inc (“STI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Soligen, Inc. (“Soligen”) (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
Soligen holds an exclusive world-wide license from MIT until October 1, 2006 to develop, manufacture, market and sell products utilizing certain patented technology and processes for the production of ceramic casting molds for casting metal parts. The license continues on a non-exclusive basis thereafter until the expiration of the last patent relating to the licensed technology. The exclusive period may be extended by mutual agreement of both parties.
Based upon the MIT patent, the Company developed a proprietary technology known as Direct Shell Production Casting (“DSPC®”), a process that is distinguished from typical rapid prototype systems that are characterized by the ability to rapidly produce non functional three dimensional representations of parts from Computer Aided Design (“CAD”) files. The DSPC technology is dedicated to metal casting; this technology enables the Company to produce functional cast metal parts thereby providing a substantial competitive advantage over existing producers by eliminating the need of time and labor spent on patterns and core boxes.
The Company uses CAD files obtained from customers to produce ceramic casting molds. Metal is then cast into the ceramic molds at a foundry to yield metal parts identical to the customer’s CAD files. The parts are cast either at the Company’s aluminum foundry, or at other foundries. Since the casting molds are made directly from the customer’s CAD files, the customer is free to concurrently experiment with different designs or alloys. To better and more quickly service its customers, the Company has established a Parts Now on-line service on the Company’s interactive Web site (www.partsnow.com) on the Internet. The Company also joined the automotive Intranet ANX which enables Soligen direct access to CAD data at the Big Three automotive companies in the USA and some of their Tier 1 suppliers. Customer’s CAD files can also be transmitted by modem, Internet FTP protocols or del ivery of a standard data disk or tape.
DSPC also provides for a paradigm shift by enabling customer’s engineers to postpone the design and/or the fabrication of a production casting tooling that is normally used for manufacturing a limited number of metal parts. Functional metal parts provided by DSPC accomplish not only cost savings for the customer’s engineer but will also allow him to functionally test a metal part in the shortest time possible before going into production. This testing and proof of design of production tooling with very little chance of error provides significant time savings which in turn accomplishes a prime goal of the manufacturer, i.e., the reduction in “Time to Market.”
In addition to capitalizing on the advantages of DSPC prototypes and rapidly produced bridging production, the DSPC system can also produce high volume production tooling (usually made of steel). Future plans for the Company include establishment of rapid response production facilities either owned by the Company or licensed third parties for small to medium sized runs as well as a network of alliances or joint ventures with mass production foundries operating licensed DSPC centers. These DSPC centers will enable mass manufacturers to better participate in concurrent engineering programs with their customers together with their ability to cast near net shape production tooling for efficient manufacturing of production tooling. By establishing these networks of DSPC centers, the Company will provide manufacturers a seamless transition from CAD file to finished production parts. This network will operate un der the trade name Parts Now®. The Company’s first rapid response production facility consists of its
8
aluminum foundry and machine shop located in Santa Ana, California and a DSPC production center located at the Company’s headquarters in Northridge, California.
The Company’s revenues are classified as four major revenue-generating product lines:
1. Parts Now Service: This product line includes the “one stop shop” production services from receipt of the customer’s CAD file through production. Parts Now programs include any contract which may consist of a combination of DSPC, conventional casting and CNC machining expertise. Each Parts Now program is handled by a program / project engineer who oversees the transition from CAD to first article, to tooling, to conventional casting, finish machining and later, when applicable, to mass production.
2. DSPC Production Service: Revenues for this product line result from using the DSPC process in the production and sale of first article prototypes and short run quantities of cast metal parts made exclusively by DSPC directly from the customer’s CAD file.
3. Conventional Production Parts Service: Revenues for this product line are limited to conventional casting and machining of aluminum parts at the Company’s aluminum foundry and machine shop in Santa Ana, CA. Conventional production parts service line does not utilize DSPC or DSPC made tooling, and does not involve program management. In this category the Company is able to apply lower overhead margins and therefore capture additional business.
4. DSPC Technology Service: Revenues for this product line result from the sale, lease, license or maintenance of DSPC machines and from participation in research and development projects wherein the Company provides technological expertise.
