NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 3D Systems Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2014 .

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 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.

Certain prior period amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

All amounts presented in the accompanying footnotes are presented in thousands, except for per share information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, “ Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ” (“ASU 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its consolidated balance sheets .

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first quarter of 2015 , have had or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(2) Acquisitions

The Company completed one acquisition in the first quarter of 2015, which is discussed below.

On February 9, 2015 , the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares and voting rights of Cimatron Ltd. (“Cimatron”), a provider of integrated 3D CAD/CAM software and solutions for manufacturing. The fair value of the consideration paid for this acquisition, net of cash acquired, was $77,984 , all of which was paid in cash. The operations of Cimatron have been integrated into the Company’s products and service revenues. The fair value of the consideration paid for this acquisition was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with any excess recorded as goodwill, and is included in the table below, which summarizes the first quarter 2015 acquisition. Factors considered in determination of goodwill include synergies, vertical integration and strategic fit for the Company.

The acquisition completed in the first quarter is not material relative to the Company’s assets or operating results; therefore, no proforma financial information is provided.

The Company’s purchase price allocation for the acquired company is preliminary and subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. The amounts related to the acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2015 as follows:



(in thousands)	2015
Fixed assets	$	287
Other intangible assets, net		50,700
Goodwill		37,580
Other assets, net of cash acquired		17,040
Liabilities		(27,623)
Net assets acquired	$	77,984

Subsequent Acquisition

On April 2, 2015 , the Company acquired 65% of the equity interests in Wuxi Easyway Model Design and Manufacture Co. Ltd., a manufacturing service bureau and distributor of 3D printing and scanning products in China. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has an option to acquire the remainder of the equity interests between the third and fifth anniversary of the closing.

(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 in order to reduce these risks. When appropriate, the Company enters into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures arising from those transactions. The Company has elected not to prepare and maintain the documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and therefore, all gains and losses (realized or unrealized) are recognized in "Interest and other expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). 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 sheet .

There were no foreign currency contracts outstanding at March 31, 2015 or at December 31, 2014.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 include a foreign currency tra nsaction loss of $2,194 and $205 , respectively , which is included in interest and other expense, net.

The total impact of foreign currency tran slation on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter s ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, reflects a loss of $20 , 8 32 and $ 13 , respectivel y.

(8) Borrowings

Credit Facility

On October 10, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $150,000 five-year revolving, unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement comprises a revolving loan facility that provides for advances in the initial aggregate principal amount of up to $150,000 (the “Credit Facility”). Subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement, the Company may, at its option and subject to customary conditions, request an increase in the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility by an additional $75,000. The Credit Agreement includes provisions for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans.

The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors guarantee to the Lenders, among other things, all of the obligations of the Company and each other Guarantor under the Credit Agreement. From time to time, the Company may be required to cause additional material domestic subsidiaries to become Guarantors under the Credit Agreement.

Generally, amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Base Rate advances bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the highest of (A) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (B) the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 0.5% or (C) the Daily LIBOR Rate for a one month interest period plus 1%, and (ii) an applicable margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. LIBOR Rate advances bear interest at a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate for the applicable interest period, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.50% based upon the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, (i) accrued interest on each loan bearing interest at the Base Rate is payable quarterly in arrears and (ii) accrued interest on each loan bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate is payable in arrears on the earlier of (A) quarterly and (B) the last day of each applicable interest payment date for each loan. The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on October 10, 2019, at which time all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable.

The Company is required to pay certain fees in connection with the Credit Facility, including a quarterly commitment fee equal to the product of the amount of the average daily available revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement multiplied by a percentage that ranges from 0.20% to 0.25% depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as well as customary administrative fees.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and default provisions for a Credit Facility of this type, including, but not limited to, financial covenants, limitations on liens and the incurrence of debt, covenants to preserve corporate existence and comply with laws and covenants regarding the use of proceeds of the Credit Facility. The financial covenants include a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, which is the ratio of consolidated total funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense), as defined in the Credit Agreement, of 3.00 to 1.00, and a minimum interest coverage ratio, which is the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to cash interest expense, of 3.50 to 1. 0 0. The Company is only required to be in compliance with the financial covenants as of the end of any fiscal quarter in which there are any loans outstanding at any time during such fiscal quarter.

The payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock is restricted under provisions of the Credit Facility, which limits the amount of cash dividends that the Company may pay in any one fiscal year to $30,000 . The Company currently does not pay, and has not paid, any dividends on their common stock, and currently intend s to retain any future earnings for use in their business.

There was no outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Capitalized Lease Obligations

The Company’s capitalized lease obligations include lease agreements that we re entered into during 2006 with re spect to the Company’s corporate headquarters located in Rock Hill , SC, and lease agreements assumed in the LayerWise acquisition. T otal capitalized lease obligations decreased to $9,078 at March 31, 2015 from $9,434 at December 31, 2014 , primarily due to the normal scheduled timing of payments .

Other debt

In connection with its acquisition of LayerWise, the Company assumed a portion of LayerWise’s outstanding bank debt, consisting of revolving credit facilities and term loans. The term loans bear interest at rates ranging from 1.34% to 5.40% as of March 31, 2015. The outstanding balance on the term loans was $66 and $127 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . There is a 0.125% commitment fee on the unused portion of the facilities.

(9) Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company records stock-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2015		2014
Restricted stock awards	$	10,329	$	7,276

The number of shares and units of restricted common stock awarded and the weighted average fair value per share and unit during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	Number of Shares/Units	Weighted Average Fair Value		Number of Shares/Units	Weighted Average Fair Value
Restricted stock awards:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted restricted stock awards covering 273 shares and units of common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. As of March 31, 2015, 148 shares or units under awards remained subject to acceptance and 60 shares under awards were granted to executive officers of the Company during the quarter.

(10) International Retirement Plan

The following table shows the components of net periodic benefit costs and other amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 :


	Quarter Ended March 31,

Service cost	$	47	$	45
Interest cost		62		62
Total	$	109	$	107

(11) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to 3D Systems Corporation 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 outstandin g during the applicable period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, restricted stock units were antidilutive because of the net loss, and, as such, their effect has not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

The following table reconciles basic weighted average outstanding shares to diluted weighted average outstanding shares at March 31, 2015 and 2014 :


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2015		2014
Numerator for basic and diluted net earnings per share:
Net income (loss) attributable to 3D Systems Corporation	$	(13,181)	$	4,877

Denominator for basic and diluted net earnings per share:
Weighted average shares		111,731		103,546

Earnings (loss) per share, basic and diluted	$	(0.12)	$	0.05

Interest expense excluded from diluted earnings per share calculation (a)	$	—	$	156
5.50% Convertible notes shares excluded from diluted earnings per share calculation (a)		—		876

^(a)

Average outstanding diluted earnings per share calculation excludes shares that may be issued upon conversion of the outstanding senior convertible notes since the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015 , average common shares for basic and diluted loss per share was 111,731 and basic and diluted loss per share was $0.12 . For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, average common shares for basic and diluted earnings per share was 103,546 and basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.05.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable 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; or

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.

For the Company, the above standard applies to cash equivalents. 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:



	Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2015
(in thousands)		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Description
Cash equivalents (a)	$	87,920	$	—	$	—	$	87,920
Redeemable noncontrolling interests (b)	$	—	$	—	$	8,872	$	8,872

^(a)

Cash equivalents include funds held in money market instruments and are reported at their current carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.

^(b)

Redeemable noncontrolling interests represents a put option that owners of interests in a certain subsidiary have the right, in certain circumstances, to require the Company to acquire either a portion of, or all of, the remaining ownership interests held by them. The Company determines the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests based on unobservable inputs considering the assumptions that market participants would make in pricing the obligation. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the valuations are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 15.

The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3, of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

In addition to the financial assets included in the above table, certain of our non-financial assets and liabilities are to be initially measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. This includes items such as non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods) and non-financial, long-lived assets measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. In general, non-financial assets and liabilities including goodwill, other intangible assets and property and equipment are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized. The Company has not recorded any impairments related to such assets and has had no other significant non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities requiring adjustments or write-downs to fair value as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

(13) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates were 34.6% and 42.0% for the quarter s ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively .

The Company has not provided for any taxes on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, as the Company intends to permanently reinvest all such earnings outside of the U.S. We believe a calculation of the deferred tax liability associated with these undistr ibuted earnin gs is impracticable .

Tax years 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Company has utilized U.S. loss carryforwards causing the years 1997 to 2007 to be subject to examination. The Company files income tax returns (which are open to examination beginning in the year shown in parentheses) in Australia (2009), Belgium (2010), Brazil (2014), China (2010), France (2011), Germany (2011), India (2012), Israel (2010), Italy (2009), Japan (200 8 ), Korea (200 9 ), Mexico (2014), Netherlands (2007), Switzerland (2008), the United Kingdom (2009) and Uruguay (2014).

(14) Segment Information

The Company operates in one reportable business segment. The Company conducts its business through subsidiaries in the United States, a subsidiary in Israel that operates a research and production facility and sales and service offices, a subsidiary in Switzerland that operates a research and production facility, subsidiaries in France and Brazil that operate production facilities and sales and service offices, and other sales and service offices in Europe (Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and the Netherlands), Israel and in Asia Pacific (Australia, China, India, Japan and Korea). The Company has historically disclosed summarized financial information for the geographic areas of operations as if they were segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” Financial information concerning the Company’s geographical locations is based on the location of the selling entity. Such summarized financial information concerning the Company’s geographical operations is shown in the following tables:

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases office space and certain furniture and fixtures under various non-cancelable operating leases . Rent expense under operating leases was $ 3,204 and $2,311 for the quarter s ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has supply commitments on printer assemblies for the second quarter of 2015 that total $ 77,623 , compared to $ 56,620 at December 31, 2014 .

Certain of the Company’s acquisitions contain earnout provisions under which the sellers of the acquired businesse s can earn additional amounts. The total liabilities recorded for these earnouts as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $ 9,243 and $ 9,155 , respectively.

Put Options

Owners of interests in a certain subsidiary have the right in certain circumstances to require the Company to acquire either a portion of or all of the remaining ownership interests held by them. The owners’ ability to exercise any such “put option” right is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including conditions requiring notice in advance of exercise. In addition, these rights cannot be exercised prior to a specified exercise date. The exercise of these rights at their earliest contractual date would result in obligations of the Company to fund the related amounts in 2019.

Management estimates, assuming that the subsidiary owned by the Company at March 31, 2015, performs over the relevant future periods at their forecasted earnings levels, that these rights, if exercised, could require the Company, in future periods, to pay approximately $ 8,87 2 to the owners of such rights to acquire such ownership interests in the relevant subsidiary. This amount has been recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the balance sheet at March 31, 201 5 and December 31, 2014 . The ultimate amount payable relating to this transaction will vary because it is dependent on the future results of operations of the subject business.

The follo wing table presents changes in redeemable n oncontrolling i nterests:

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal matters incidental to its business. The Company believes, after consulting with counsel, that the disposition of these legal matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business the Company periodically enters into agreements to indemnify customers or suppliers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by first parties arising from the use of the Company’s products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant and we are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations.

To the extent permitted under Delaware law, the Company indemnifies directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was , serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, subject to limited exceptions. The maximum potent ial amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, the Company has directors and officers insurance coverage that may enable the Company to recover future amounts paid, subject to a deductible and the policy limits. There is no assurance that the policy limits will be sufficient to cover all damages, if any.

Ltd., a manufacturing service bureau and distributor of 3D printing and scanning products in China. Easyway brings us sales and service coverage, service bureau production capabilities and relationships with leading Chinese automotive, medical and consumer goods companies .

Results of Operations

Summary of 2015 financial results

R evenue for the first quarter of 2015 increased by 8.8%, or $13.0 million, to $160.7 million compared to $147.8 million in the first quarter of 2014. These results primarily reflected growth in services revenue, driven by software and healthcare services.

Products revenue increased by $2.0 million, or 3.2%, from the first quarter of 2014, to $62.7 million, driven by increased demand for consumer printers and expanded healthcare and software products.

Materials revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was $37.1 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 8.3%, from the first quarter of 2014. This decrease was driven by lower design and manufacturing printer sales during the quarter coupled with an unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.

Services revenue increased by $14.3 million, or 30.8%, from the first quarter of 2014, to $60.9 million. The increase in services revenue primarily reflects the addition of healthcare services , coupled with growing Quickparts, consumer and software services .

We calculate organic growth by comparing this year’s total revenue for the period, excluding the revenue recognized from all acquired businesses that we have owned for less than twelve months, to last year’s total revenue for the period. Once we have owned a business for one year, the revenue is included in organic growth. Organic growth is calculated based on total revenue for the prior year period. In the first quarter of 2015 , organic revenue decreased by 7.4 %, compared to organic growth of 28.1% for the first quarter of 2014.

Healthcare revenue includes sales of products, materials, and services for health-related applications, including simulation, training and planning, and printing of surgical instruments and medical and dental devices for personalized medicine. For the first quarter of 2015, healthcare revenue increased by 38.4% and made up 18.7% , or $30.0 million, of our total revenue compared to 14.7% , or $21.7 million, in the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to our increased penetration and expansion of healthcare applications, including the addition of Simbionix, Medical Modeling and Layerwise.

Consumer revenue includes sales of our Cube® series 3D printers and their related print materials, Sense 3D scanners and other products and services related to consumer products and retail channels . For the first quarter of 2015 , cons umer revenue increased 64.5% to $15.9 million, or 9.9 % of our total revenue, compared to $9.7 million, or 6.5 % of total revenue , in the first quarter of 2014.

G ross profit in the first quarter of 2015 increased by $3.5 million, or 4.7% from the first quarter of 2014, to $79.0 million, reflecting higher revenue from services. Our gross profit margin was 49.1% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 51.1% in the first quarter of 2014 , reflecting current sales mix and timing of sales .

Our total operating expenses increased by $30.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, to $96.5 million, from $66.0 million in the same quarter of 2014. The increase reflected higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to increas ed compensation expenses and acquisition costs . The increase also re flects a $5.0 million increase in research and development expenses rel ated to our portfolio expansion and development of new products .

Our operating loss for the first quarter of 2015 was $17.5 million , compared to operating income of $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 . This was primarily due to lower gross profit margin and higher operating expenses as discussed in more detail below.

Our operating activities used $0.9 million of cash during the first quarter of 2015, which is discussed in further detail below. We used $82.5 million to fund our strategic investing activities, including acquisition costs. Financing activities during the first quarter of 2015 generated $0.6 million of cash. In total, our unrestricted cash balance at March 31, 2015 was $199.9 million compared to $284.9 million at December 31, 2014.

First quarter comparison of revenue by class of product and service

Table 1 below sets forth revenue and percentage of revenue by class of product and service :

We earn revenues from the sale of products, materials and services. On a consolidated basis, revenue for the first quarter of 2015 increased by $13.0 million, or 8.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting an increase in services revenue.

The $2.0 million increase in revenue from products compared to the first quarter of 2014 is driven by increased demand for consumer printers , software and expanded healthcare products . Certain resellers may purchase stock inventory in the ordinary course of business. For the first quarter of 2015, we estimate that revenue related to reseller inventory amounted t o approximately 5% of total revenue, compared to approximately 10% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2014.

In addition to printers, the products category includes software products, perceptual and haptic devices, Vidar digitizers and Simbionix simulators . Software revenue, including perceptual and haptic devices, contributed $8.9 million and $5.8 million of products revenue in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Due to the relatively high price of certain professional printers and a corresponding lengthy selling cycle and relatively low unit volume of the higher priced professional printer sales in any particular period, a shift in the timing and concentration of orders and shipments from one period to another can affect reported revenue in any given period. Revenue reported in any particular period is also affected by timing of revenue recognition under rules prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles.

Our revenue from materials decreased by $3.3 million , including a $3.0 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency. Sales of integrated materials decreased by 2.6% to $28.7 million and represented 77.3% of total materials revenue in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 72.7% in the first quarter of 2014.

The incr ease in services revenue primarily reflects the addition of Medical Modeling and Simbionix revenue and organic and acquired growth from our Quickparts solutions, coupled with growing consumer and software services. Service revenue from Quickparts increased 9.8% to $31.6 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared to $28.8 for the first quarter of 2014 . Software services contributed $ 7.7 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2014.

At March 31, 2015 our backlog was $37.8 million, compared to backlog of $46.5 million at December 31, 2014 and $28.8 million at March 31, 2014. Production and delivery of our printers is generally not characterized by long lead times, backlog is more dependent on timing of customers’ requested deliveries . In addition, Quickparts services lead time and backlog depends on whether orders are for rapid prototyping or longer-range production runs . The backlog at March 31, 2015 includes $14.1 million of Quickparts services orders, compared to $8.3 million at March 31, 2014.

In addition to changes in sales volumes, including the impact of revenue from acquisitions, there are two other primary drivers of changes in revenues from one period to another: the combined effect of changes in product mix and average selling prices, sometimes referred to as price and mix effects, and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies.

As used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the price and mix effects relate 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 printers as the trend toward smaller, lower-priced printers has continued and the influence of new printers and print materials on our operating results has grown.

Change in first quarter revenue by geographic region

Table 2 sets forth the change in revenue by geographic area for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014:

Rev enue from operations in the Americas for the first quarter of 2015 increased by $18.3 million, or 26.8%, to $86.3 million from $68.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase was due to higher volume and the favorable combined effect of price and mix, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation from Latin America.

Revenue from operations outside the Americas in the first quarter of 2015 decreased by $5.2 million, or 6.6%, to $74.5 million from $79.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. Revenue from operations outside the Americas as a percent of total revenue was 46.3% and 54.0%, at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding the effect of foreign currency translation on revenues outside the U.S. would result in 16.7% growth for the first quarter of 2015 compared t o 71.9% growth in the first quarter of 2014.

Revenue from operations in EMEA in the first quarter of 2015 increased by $1.1 million, or 2.4%, to $48.7 million from $47.6 million in the first quarter of 2014. This increase was due to a favorable combined effect of price and mix, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and lower volume.

Revenue from Asia Pacific operations in the first quarter of 2015 decreased by $6.4 million, or 20.0%, to $25.8 million from $32.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, due primarily to a decrease in volume and an unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation, partially offset by the favorable combined effect of price and mix.

Gross profit and gross profit margins

Table 3 sets forth gross profit and gross profit margins for our products and services for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014:

Table 3



	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2015				2014
(Dollars in thousands)	Gross Profit		Gross Profit Margin		Gross Profit		Gross Profit Margin
Products	$	21,764	34.7	%	$	24,162	39.8	%
Materials		27,582	74.3			30,216	74.7
Services		29,638	48.7			21,094	45.3
Total	$	78,984	49.1	%	$	75,472	51.1	%

On a consolidated basis, gross profit for the first quarter of 2015 increased by $3.5 million to $79.0 million from $75.5 million in the first quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of higher revenue from services.

Consolidated gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2015 decreased by 2.0 percentage points to 49.1% from 51.1% for the first quarter of 2014 . The lower gross profit margin reflects a change in revenue mix with a higher portion of revenue from lower margin products within categories .

Products gross profit for the first quarter of 2015 decreased by $2.4 million, or 9.9%, to $21.8 million from $24.2 million in the 2014 quarter . G ross profit margin for products decreased by 5.1 percentage points to 34.7% from 39.8% in the 2014 quarter . Despite the addition of higher margin healthcare products and increasing software contribution , gross profit margin decreased due to mix of products, including a higher portion of sales from consumer products, coupled with continued expansion of our manufacturing capacity.

M aterials gross profit for the first quarter of 2015 decreased by $2.6 million, or 8.7%, to $27.6 million from $30.2 million in the 2014 quarter, and gross profit margin for materials decreased by 0.4 percentage points to 74.3% from 74.7% in the 2014 quarter primarily due to the volume and mix of materials sold during the quarter .

Gross profit for services for the first quarter of 2015 increased by $8.5 million, or 40.5%, to $29.6 million from $21.1 million in th e 2014 quarter. G ross prof it margin for services increased by 3.4 percentage points to 48.7% from 45.3% in the 2014 quarter. The increase in gross profit margin for services was primarily due to the addition of higher margin healthcare services and an increase in Quickparts gross profit margin , to 44.4% for the first quarter of 2015 from 41.5 % in the first quarter of 2014.

Operating expenses

As shown in Table 4, total operating expenses increased by $30.5 million, or 46.3%, to $96.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 from $66.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. This increase was due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research and development expenses, both of which are discussed below.

Table 4


	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2015				2014
(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		% Revenue		Amount		% Revenue
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	74,292	46.2	%	$	48,720	33.0	%
Research and development expenses		22,216	13.8			17,235	11.7
Total operating expenses	$	96,508	60.0	%	$	65,955	44.7	%

Selling, general and administr ative expenses increased by $25.6 million to $74.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $48.7 million in the first quarter of 2014, and increased to 46.2% of revenue in 201 5 compared to 33.0% for 2014. The increase was due primarily to an $11.0 million increase in compensation costs due to increased staffing, a $5.3 million increase in amortization , a $1.5 million increase in bad debt expense, a $1.2 million increase in marketing expenses and a $1.1 million increase in legal fees related to acquisitions.

Research and development expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 28.9%, to $22.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 from $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in compensation expenses related to talent expansion and a $1.7 million increase in consulting fees.

Income (loss) from operations

Our loss from operations of $17.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 decreased from income from operations of $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2014. See Gross p rofit and gross profit margins and Operating expense s above. The following table sets forth operating income by geographic area for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2014:

With respect to the Americas, in 2015 and 2014 , the changes in operating income by geographic area reflected the same factors relating to our consolidated operating income that are discussed above.

The changes in operating income in our operations outs ide the Americas in 2015 and 2014 resulted primarily from changes in sales volume, transfer pricing and foreign currency translation.

Interest and other expense, net

Interest and other expense, net was $ 2.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared with $1.0 million in the 2014 quarter. For the first quarter of 2015, i nterest and other expense, net, primarily consisted of $2.2 millio n of foreign exchange loss, $0.3 million of other expense and $0.2 million of interest e xpense; partially offset by $0.1 milli on of interest and other income.

For the first quarter of 2014, interest and other expense, net, primarily consisted of $0.6 million of other expense, $0.4 million of interest expense and a foreign exchan ge loss of $0.2 million, partially offset by $0.2 million of interest and other income.

Benefit and provision for income taxes

We recorded a $6.9 million benefit for income taxes in the first quarter of 2015 and a $3.6 million provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2014 . Our 201 5 and 2014 benefit and provision for income taxes reflects income taxes in U.S. and non-U.S . jurisdictions .

Net income (loss)

Net loss attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2015 was $13.2 million, compared to net income of $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2014. The principal reasons for the change, which are discussed in more detail above, were:

• the $27.0 million decrease in operating income and

• the $1.5 million increase in interest and other expense; partially offset by

• the $10.5 million decrease in our tax provision.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, average common shares for basic and diluted loss per share was 111.7 million and basic and diluted loss per share was $0.12. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, average common shares for basic and diluted earnings per share was 103.5 million and basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.05.

Other Financial Information

In addition to our results determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) discussed above, management believes non-GAAP financial measures , which adjust net income and earnings per share are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance.

We use non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to supplement our unaudited condensed c onsolidated f inancial s tatements presented on a GAAP basis to facilitate a better understanding of the impact that several strategic acquisitions had on our financial results.

These non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by our management about which costs, expenses and other items are excluded from our GAAP financial statements in determining our non-GAAP financial measures. We have sought to compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and expected future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP financial statements as required in our public disclosures as well as reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to our GAAP financial statements.

The presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures which adjust net income and earnings per share are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Our non-GAAP financial measures , which adjust net income and earnings per share , are adjusted for the following:

Non-cash s tock-based compensation expenses . We exclude the tax-effected stock-based compensation expenses from operating expenses primarily because they are non-cash.

Amortization of intangibles . We exclude the tax-effected amortization of intangible assets from our cost of sales and operating expenses . The increase in recent periods is primarily in connection with acquisitions of businesses.

Acquisition and severance expenses . We exclude the tax-effected charges associated with the acquisition of businesses and the related severance expenses from our operating expenses .

Non-cash interest expense . We exclude tax-effected non-cash interest expenses, primarily related to the costs associated with our senior convertible notes , from interest and other expenses, net .

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Cash and cash equivalents	$	199,896	$	284,862
Working capital	$	348,234	$	432,199
Stockholders' equity attributable to 3D Systems Corporation	$	1,270,306	$	1,292,918

Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents decreased by $85.0 million to $199.9 million at March 31, 2015 from $284.9 million at December 31, 2014. We used $0.9 million of cash from operating activities . Cash from operations consist ed of $13.1 million of net loss, $22.7 million of non-cash charges and $10.5 million of cash used by net changes in operating accounts. We used $82.5 million of cash in investing activities , including $78.6 million to fund the acquisition of Cimatron and other investing activities. Cash from fi nancing activities provided $0.6 million of cash . See Cash flow and C apitalized lease obligation s below.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2015 includes $51.2 million of cash held outside the U.S., compared to $39.6 million at December 31, 2014. Cash held outside the U.S. is used in our foreign operations for working capital purposes and is considered to be permanently invested; consequently, we have not provided for any taxes on repatriation. The increase in cash held outside the U.S. is primarily attributable to the Cimatron acquisition.

Cash equivalents comprise funds held in money market instruments and are reported at their current carrying values, which approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We minimize our credit risk by investing primarily in investment grade, liquid instruments and limit exposure to any one issuer depending on credit quality.

Our net working capital decreased by $84.0 million to $348.2 million at March 31, 2015 from $432.2 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to the factors discussed below.

Accounts receivable, net, decreased by $15.3 million to $153.1 million at March 31, 2015 from $168.4 million at December 31, 2014. Gross accounts receivable decreased by $12.4 million from December 31, 2014. Days sales outstanding was 86 days at March 31, 2015 compared to 83 days at December 31, 2014. A ccounts receivable more than 9 0 days past due decreased to 14.9% of gross receivables from 16.7 % at December 31, 2014.

Inventories, net increased by $18.0 million to $114.6 million at March 31, 2015 from $96.6 million at December 31, 2014. This increase resulted primarily from an expanding product portfolio, acquired inventory, timing of orders, assembly production, and sales and revenue recognition at quarter-end. The increase in inventory reflects a $ 7.6 million increase in raw materials inventory and a $ 10.3 million increase in finished goods inventory . We maintained $7.4 million of inventory reserves at March 31, 2015 and $6.7 million of such reserves at December 31, 2014 .

The majority of our inventory consists of finished goods, including products, materials and service parts. Inventory also consists of raw materials and spare parts for the in-house assembly and support service products. We outsource the assembly and refurbishment of certain production printers; therefore, we generally do not hold in inventory most parts for production printer assembly or refurbishment.

The changes in the first quarter of 2015 that make up the other components of working capital not discussed above arose in the ordinary course of business.

Differences between the amounts of working capital item changes in the cash flow statement and the balance sheet changes for the corresponding items are primarily the result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

We have relied on our unrestricted cash , cash flow from operations and capital markets transactions to meet our cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions; h owever, it is possible that we may need to raise additional funds to finance our activities beyond the next twelve months or to consummate significant acquisitions of other businesses, assets, products or technologies. If needed, we may be able to raise such funds by issuing equity or debt securities to the public or selected investors, or by borrowing from financial institutions , selling assets or restructuring debt .

Cash flow

The table below summarizes the cash provided by or used in operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, as well as the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on cash, for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014.

Cash flow from operating activities

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015 , our operating activities used $0.9 million of net cash . This use of cash consisted primarily of net loss plus the effects of non-cash items and changes in working capital, which are described above . Our cash from operations fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to the timing of transactions and receipts and payments of cash.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our operating activities provided $0.3 million of net cash. This source of cash consisted primarily of net income plus the effects of non-cash items and changes in working capital .

Cash flow from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2015 increased to $82.5 million from $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 . This increase was primarily due to $78.0 million of cash paid for the acquisition of Cimatron in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $2.0 million paid for acquisitions in the 2014 quarter. Cash flow used in investi ng activities also includes minority investments of less than 20% made through 3D Ventures, our venture investment initiative, in promising enterprises that we believe will benefit from or be powered by our technologies . During the first quarter of 2015 , we invested $0.6 million in these enterprises and ventures, compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Cash flow from financing activities

Financing activities provided net cash of $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $5.9 million in the 2014 period. Cash from financing activities for the first quarter of 2015 primarily included $0.4 million of tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements. Cash from financing activities for the first quarter of 2014 was primarily from $5.4 million of tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements.

Contractual commitments and off-balance sheet arrangements

Credit facilities

In October 2014, we entered into a $150.0 million five-year revolving, unsecured credit facility with PNC Bank, as Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders. The agreement provides for advances in the initial aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million. Subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the agreement, the Company may, at its option and subject to customary conditions, request an increase in the aggregate principal amount available under the credit facility by an additional $75.0 million. As of March 31, 201 5 and December 31, 2014, there was no outstanding balance on the credit facility.

Capitalized lease obligations

Our capitali zed lease obligations include lease agreement s that we entered into during 2006 with re spect to our Rock Hill facility and lease agreements assumed in the LayerWise acquisition. Our total capitalized lease obligations decreased to $9.1 million at March 31, 2015 from $9.4 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to the normal scheduled timing of payments. Our outstanding capitalized lease obligations carrying values at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

Table 9



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Capitalized lease obligations:
Current portion of capitalized lease obligations	$	497	$	529
Capitalized lease obligations, long-term portion		8,581		8,905
Total capitalized lease obligations	$	9,078	$	9,434

Other debt

In connection with our acquisition of LayerWise, we assumed a portion of LayerWise’s outst anding bank debt, consisting of revolving credit facilities and term loans. The term loans bear interest at rates ranging from 1.34% to 5.40% as of March 31, 2015. The outstanding ba lance on the term loans was $0.1 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014 .

O ther contractual arrangements

Certain of our recent acquisitions contain earnout provisions under which the sellers of the acquired businesse s can earn additional amounts. The total amount of liabilities recorded for these earnouts at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $9.2 million.

As of March 31, 2015, we have supply commitments related to printer assemblies that to tal $ 77.6 million compared to $56.6 million at December 31, 2014.

The minority interest shareholders of a certain subsidiary have the right to require the Company to acquire their ownership interest under certain circumstances pursuant to a contractual arrangement and the Company has a similar call option under the same contractual terms. The amount of consideration under the put and call rights is not a fixed amount, but rather is dependent upon various valuation formulas and on future events, such as revenue and gross margin performance of the subsidiary through the date of e xercise, as described in Note 15 . Management estimates, assuming that the subsidiary owned by the Company at March 31, 2015 , performs over the relevant future periods at their forecasted earnings levels, that these rights, if exercised, could require the Company, in future periods, to pay approximat ely $8.8 million to the owners of such rights to acquire such ownership interests in the relevant subsidiary. This amount has been recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the balance sheet at March 31, 201 5 .

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and do not utilize any “structured debt,” “special purpose,” or similar unconsolidated entities for liquidity or financing purposes.

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 we consider it to be appropriate, enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures arising from those transactions.

We do not hedge or trade for speculative purposes, and our foreign currency contracts are generally short-term in nature, typically maturing in 90 days or less. We have elected not to prepare and maintain the documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and therefore, we recognize all gains and losses (realized or unrealized) in interest and other expense, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

There were no foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. See Note 7 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in interest and other expense, net, in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Depending on their fair value at the end of the reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in prepaid and other current assets or in accrued liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Form 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 include the cautionary statements and risk factors set forth below and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as other statements made in this Form 10-Q that 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,” “estimates”, “intends,” “anticipates” or “plans” to be uncertain and forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include comments as to our beliefs, expectations and projections as to future events and trends affecting our business. Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs, assumptions and current expectations concerning future events and trends, using information currently available, 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 our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as other factors, could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected or predicted in forward-looking statements.

Forward looking statements are not, and should not be relied upon as a guarantee of future performance or results, nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. We undertake no obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.

Any forward-looking statement you read in this Form 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 the paragraphs under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hearof. You should specifically consider the factors identified or referred to in this Form 10-Q and our other SEC reports, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which would cause actual results to differ from those referred to in forward-looking statements .

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 in Item 1A in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 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, results of operations and financial condition. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. 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 in Item 1A in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements .

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, 2014, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, there were no material changes or developments that would materially alter the market risk assessment performed as of December 31, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures .

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of March 31, 2015, 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 in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. These controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, including an evaluation of the rules referred to above in this Item 4, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports 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 to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
