On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the SEC issued the "Staff Statement on
Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose
Acquisition Companies ("SPACs")" (the "Staff Statement"). The Staff Statement
discussed "certain features of warrants issued in SPAC transactions" that "may
be common across many entities." The Staff Statement indicated that when one or
more of such features is included in a warrant, the warrant "should be
classified as a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value
each period reported in earnings." The Company has concluded that the Private
Placement Warrants are to be classified as a liability measured at fair value on
the Company's consolidated balance sheet upon the Business Combination on
December 9, 2020, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in our
statement of operations each reporting period. Effective March 2, 2021, all
Private Placement Warrants were exercised and there was no outstanding warrant
liability.

COVID-19



In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a
pandemic. It is not possible to accurately predict the full impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations
due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its impact
across industries and geographies and numerous other uncertainties. For example,
we face uncertainties about the duration and spread of the outbreak, additional
actions that may be taken by governmental entities, and the impact it may have
on the ability of us, our customers, our suppliers, our manufacturers and our
other business partners to conduct business. Governments in affected regions
have implemented, and may continue to implement, safety precautions which
include quarantines, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of
public gatherings and other measures as they deem necessary. Many organizations
and individuals, including our company and employees, are taking additional
steps to avoid or reduce infections, including limiting travel and staying home
from work. These measures are disrupting normal business operations and have had
significant negative impacts on businesses and financial markets worldwide. We
continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and have made
modifications to our normal operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic,
including requiring most non-engineering or operations-related team members to
work remotely, utilizing heightened cleaning and sanitization procedures,
implementing new health and safety protocols and reducing non-essential travel.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to experience several adverse impacts,
including extended sales cycles to close new orders for our products, delays in
shipping and installing orders due to closed facilities and travel limitations
and delays in collecting accounts receivable. The rapid development and
uncertainty of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction as
to the ultimate adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures taken to contain it, present
material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance and financial
results. In particular, businesses across an array of vertical markets are
temporarily reducing capital expenditure budgets globally as they seek to
preserve liquidity to ensure the longevity of their own operations, which in
turn may lead to reductions in purchases of our additive manufacturing
solutions. Further, office closures may prevent organizations from reaching
typical utilizations of our additive manufacturing solutions, resulting in
reductions in purchases of consumable materials. Additionally, the COVID-19
pandemic may contribute to facility closures at our third-party contract
manufacturers and key suppliers, causing delays and disruptions in product
manufacturing, which could affect our ability to ship products purchased by our
customers in a timely manner. Disruptions in the capital markets as a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic may also adversely affect our business if these impacts
continue for a prolonged period and we need additional liquidity.

In the long-term, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will encourage organizations to reassess their supply chain structure and may accelerate their adoption of solutions such as additive manufacturing, which could allow for greater flexibility and a reduced reliance on overseas manufacturing.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results



We believe that our performance and future success depend on many factors that
present significant opportunities for us, but also pose risks and challenges,
including those discussed below and in "Risk Factors" section of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.

Commercial Launch of Products



Several of our products began commercial shipments in late 2020 and early 2021,
with more in the late stages of development and scheduled to begin commercial
shipments in 2021. Prior to commercialization, we must complete final testing
and manufacturing ramp-up of these products, both in-house and at our
third-party contract manufacturers. Any delays in successful completion of these
steps may impact our ability to generate revenue from these products.

Adoption of our Additive Manufacturing Solutions


We believe the world is at an inflection point in the adoption of additive
manufacturing solutions and that we are well-positioned to take advantage of
this opportunity across an array of industries due to our proprietary
technologies and global distribution capabilities. We expect that our results of
operations, including revenue and gross margins, will fluctuate for the
foreseeable future as businesses continue to shift away from conventional
manufacturing processes towards additive manufacturing for end-use parts. Our
turnkey and volume production solutions are designed to empower businesses to
realize the full benefits of additive manufacturing at-scale, including
geometric and design flexibility, mass customization and supply chain
engineering, among others. Both the speed with which and the degree to which
potential and current customers recognize these benefits and invest in our
solutions will affect our financial results.

Pricing, Product Cost and Margins



Our comprehensive portfolio of additive manufacturing solutions spans multiple
price points, materials, throughput levels, operating environments and
technologies to enable customers to find the solution that achieves their
specific goals. We also expect to commercialize additional previously announced
products over the course of 2021. Pricing for these products may vary by region
due to market­specific supply and demand dynamics and product lifecycles, and
sales of certain products have, or are expected to have, higher gross margins
than others. As a result, our financial performance depends, in part, on the mix
of products we sell during a given period. In addition, we are subject to price
competition, and our ability to compete in key markets will depend on the
success of our investments in new technologies and cost improvements as well as
our ability to efficiently and reliability introduce cost­effective additive
manufacturing solutions for our customers.

Continued Investment and Innovation



We believe that we are a leader in mass production and turnkey additive
manufacturing solutions, offering breakthrough technologies that enable high
throughput and ease­of­use through our broad product portfolio. Our performance
is significantly dependent on the investment we make in our research and
development efforts and on our ability to be at the forefront of the additive
manufacturing industry. It is essential that we continually identify and respond
to rapidly evolving customer requirements, develop and introduce innovative new
products, enhance existing products and generate customer demand for our
solutions. We believe that investment in our additive manufacturing solutions
will contribute to long­term revenue growth, but it may adversely affect our
near­term profitability.

Acquisitions and Transaction-Related Costs



As part of our growth strategy, we intend to continue to acquire or make
investments in other business, patents, technologies, products or services. Our
growth relies heavily on the successful integration of acquired companies,
including our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities from
combining operations in an efficient and effective manner. We expect that the
results of our operations will fluctuate as we continue to integrate these
businesses, and the technologies, products, and services that they offer.
Additionally, our results of operations will be impacted by non-recurring
transaction-related costs, including integration costs, associated with these
acquisitions.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was
$19.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, an increase of $16.8 million, or
767%. The increase in total revenue was attributable to an increase in revenue
from both products and services.

We sold more products during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2020, leading to an approximately 1,047%
increase in product revenue. This was primarily the result of an increase in
unit shipments across a more varied product mix during the second quarter and
additional revenue in connection with acquisitions during the three months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. For the three months ended
June 30, 2020, we experienced decreased customer demand and longer sales cycles
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, as a result of customer
facilities closures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced delays
in shipments and installation as well as decreased utilization of our installed
products, leading to a decrease in sales of consumable materials.

Services revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to an increase in support and installation revenue from increased shipments during the period.

Total revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to an increase in unit shipments in
all regions across a more varied product mix and additional revenue in
connection with acquisitions. Overall, there was an increased customer demand
during the period ended June 30, 2021. Customer demand was lower during the
three months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost of Sales



Total cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was
$16.6 million and $10.5 million, respectively, an increase of $6.1 million or
58%. The increase in total cost of sales was driven primarily by an increase in
product cost of sales, which resulted from greater product sales. Additionally,
cost of sales increased $2.2 million due to amortization from intangible assets
acquired in the EnvisionTEC acquisition that is included in cost of sales.

Total gross profit (loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
was $2.4 million and ($8.3) million, respectively. The increase in gross profit
of $10.7 million is driven by scaling revenue to improve absorption of fixed
costs and a more favorable product mix sold, including products in connection
with acquisitions, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the
same period in 2020.

Total                         12 %  (379) %        3.91   103 %




Total gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was
12% and (379)%, respectively. The increase in total gross margin was primarily
due to the increase in gross margin from our product revenue, which resulted
from a lower product cost for units shipped in the three months ended
June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended three and six months ended
June 30, 2020. In addition, we incurred significant charges in products cost of
goods sold related to obsolete inventory parts in the three months ended June
30, 2020; similar charges were not incurred in the three months ended June

30,
2021.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021
and 2020 were $15.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively, an increase of $5.9
million, or 60%. The increase in research and development expenses was due in
part to 2021 acquisitions, which added $1.7 million. Compensation costs
increased $2.1 million due to headcount growth required to support new product
development and existing product enhancements. Additionally, engineering
consulting costs, which were lowered during the three months ended June 30, 2020
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, increased significantly as efforts continue on new
product development and existing product enhancements.

Sales and Marketing



Sales and marketing expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and
2020 were $10.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, an increase of $7.9
million, or 263%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due
to increased expense related to acquired entities of $3.2 million. In addition,
compensation costs increased $2.2 million due to headcount growth and higher
commission expenses in line with the increase in sales. Additionally, there was
growth in marketing program spend driven primarily by the commercialization of
new products and related marketing efforts.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021
and 2020 were $13.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, an increase of $10.1
million, or 337%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to $5.1 million of professional fees incurred as a result of
merger and acquisition activity and costs related to operating as a public
company. Additionally, compensation costs increased by $3.0 million, related to
hiring to support public company requirements and director and officer insurance
increased by $1.0 million as a public company.

In-Process Research and Development Assets Acquired


In-process research and development assets acquired during the three months
ended June 30, 2021 were $10.2 million, compared to no expense for in-process
research and development assets acquired during the three months ended June 30,
2020. The increase is attributable to the Beacon Bio acquisition, in which the
company paid $10.2 million in cash and share consideration. As the acquired
in-process research and development assets were deemed to have no current or
alternative future use, the entire amount was recognized as expense in the
consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability



Change in fair value of warrant liability during the three months ended
June 30, 2021, and 2020, were a $56.6 million loss and $0, respectively. The
decrease in fair value is the result of the remeasurement of the Private
Placement Warrant liability prior to the cashless exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants. The warrant liability increased $56.6 million as a result of
the remeasurement, which resulted in the $56.6 million loss. As of March 2,
2021, all Private Placement Warrants were exercised and there was no outstanding
warrant liability.

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.1 million in both periods.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income, net during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and was $0.3 million in both periods.

Income Taxes



We recorded an income tax benefit of $4.3 million during the three months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to no provision for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The increase was due to the partial release of the valuation allowance related
to the deferred tax liability acquired in the Adaptive 3D acquisition.

We have provided a valuation allowance for all of our deferred tax assets as a
result of our historical net losses in the jurisdictions in which we operate,
except for Germany. We continue to assess our future taxable income by
jurisdiction based on our recent historical operating results, the expected
timing of reversal of temporary differences, various tax planning strategies
that we may be able to enact in future periods, the impact of potential
operating changes on our business and our forecast results from operations in
future periods based on available information at the end of each reporting
period. To the extent that we are able to reach the conclusion that deferred tax
assets are realizable based on any combination of the above factors in a single,
or multiple, taxing jurisdictions, a reversal of the related portion of our
existing valuation allowances may occur.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020

Revenue

The following table presents the revenue of each of our revenue streams, as well as the percentage of total revenue and change from the prior year.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 was $30.3
million and $5.6 million, respectively, an increase of $24.7 million, or 443%.
The increase in total revenue was attributable to an increase in revenue from
both products and services.

We sold more products during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2020, leading to an approximately 560% increase in
product revenue. This was primarily the result of an increase in unit shipments
across a more varied product mix during the period and additional revenue in
connection with acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared
to the same period in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we
experienced decreased customer demand and longer sales cycles resulting from the
COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, as a result of customer facilities closures
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced delays in shipments and
installation as well as decreased utilization of our installed products, leading
to a decrease in sales of consumable materials.

Services revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to an increase in support and installation revenue from increased shipments during the period.

The following table presents revenue by geographic region, as well as the percentage of total revenue and change from the prior period.

Total revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to an increase in unit shipments in all
regions across a more varied product mix and additional revenue in connection
with acquisitions. Overall, there was an increased customer demand during the
period ended June 30, 2021. Customer demand was lower during the three months
ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost of Sales


Total cost of sales during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020
was $28.5 million and $16.7 million, respectively, an increase of $11.8 million
or 71%. The increase in total cost of sales was driven primarily by an increase
in product cost of sales, which resulted from greater product sales.
Additionally, costs of sales increased $3.3 million due to amortization from
intangible assets acquired in the EnvisionTEC acquisition that is included

in
cost of sales.

Total gross profit (loss) during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and
June 30, 2020 was $1.8 million and ($11.1) million, respectively. The increase
in gross profit (loss) of $12.9 million is driven by scaling revenue to improve
absorption of fixed overhead costs and a more favorable product mix sold,
including products in connection with acquisitions, during the six months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

The following table presents gross margin by revenue stream, as well as the change in gross margin from the prior period.

Total gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 was
6% and (199)%, respectively. The increase in total gross margin was primarily
due to the increase in gross margin from our product revenue, which resulted
from a lower product cost for units shipped in the six months ended June
30, 2021 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, we incurred
significant charges in product cost of goods sold related to obsolete inventory
parts in the six months ended June 30, 2020; similar charges were not incurred
in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Research and Development


Research and development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and
2020 were $26.5 million and $22.2 million, respectively, an increase of $4.3
million, or 19%. The increase in research and development expenses was due in
part to 2021 acquisitions, which added $2.4 million, mainly due to amortization
of acquired technology. Additionally, compensation costs increased $1.6 million
due to headcount growth and increased utilization of manufacturing and
operations resources on engineering projects.

Sales and Marketing


Sales and marketing expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
were $16.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively, an increase of $8.8 million,
or 117%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to
increased expense related to acquired entities of $4.6 million. In addition to
acquisitions, compensation costs increased $2.8 million due to headcount growth
and higher commissions expenses in line with the increase in sales.
Additionally, there was growth in marketing program spend driven primarily by
the commercialization of new products and related marketing efforts.

General and Administrative



General and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021
and 2020 were $27.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively, an increase of $21.4
million, or 382%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to $13.7 million of professional fees incurred as a result of
merger and acquisition activity and costs related to operating as a public

company.

                                       46

  Table of Contents

Additionally, compensation costs increased by $4.6 million, related to hiring to
support public company requirements and director and officer insurance expense
increased by $2.0 million as a public company.

In-Process Research and Development Assets Acquired



In-process research and development assets acquired during the six months ended
June 30, 2021 were $10.2 million, compared to no expense for in-process research
and development assets acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The
increase is attributable to the Beacon Bio acquisition, in which the company
paid $10.2 million in cash and share consideration. As the acquired in-process
research and development assets were deemed to have no current or alternative
future use, the entire amount was recognized as expense in the consolidated
statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability



Change in fair value of warrant liability during the six months ended
June 30, 2021 and 2020, were a $56.6 million loss and $0, respectively. The
decrease in fair value is the result of the remeasurement of the Private
Placement Warrant liability prior to the cashless exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants. The warrant liability increased $56.6 million as a result of
the remeasurement, which resulted in the $56.6 million loss. As of March 2,
2021, all Private Placement Warrants were exercised and there was no outstanding
warrant liability.

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.1
million and $0.2 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million. Interest
expense decreased primarily due to the payoff of the term loan in June 2021.

Interest and Other Income, Net



Interest and other income, net during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and
2020 and was $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.3
million, or 33%. Interest income decreased primarily due to a decrease in cash
available for investment.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $32.2 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2021 compared to no provision for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The increase was due to the partial release of the valuation allowance related
to the deferred tax liability acquired in the EnvisionTEC and Adaptive 3D
acquisitions.

We have provided a valuation allowance for all of our deferred tax assets as a
result of our historical net losses in the jurisdictions in which we operate,
except for Germany. We continue to assess our future taxable income by
jurisdiction based on our recent historical operating results, the expected
timing of reversal of temporary differences, various tax planning strategies
that we may be able to enact in future periods, the impact of potential
operating changes on our business and our forecast results from operations in
future periods based on available information at the end of each reporting
period. To the extent that we are able to reach the conclusion that deferred tax
assets are realizable based on any combination of the above factors in a single,
or multiple, taxing jurisdictions, a reversal of the related portion of our
existing valuation allowances may occur.

Non-GAAP Financial Information



In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the
below non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operational
performance. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing
operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that
this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to
investors in assessing our operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial information excludes, as applicable, stock-based
compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets included in
cost of sales, acquisition-related and other transactional charges included in
general and administrative expense, and change in fair value of warrant
liability. These items are normally included in the comparable measures
calculated and

                                       47

  Table of Contents

presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management excludes these items when
evaluating our ongoing performance and/or evaluating earnings potential, and
therefore excludes them when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. Management
uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results.

Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense relating to stock-based awards
issued to executive officers, employees, and outside directors, consisting of
options and restricted stock units. We exclude this expense because it is a
non-cash expense and we assess our internal operations excluding this expense
and believe it facilitates comparisons to the performance of other companies in
our industry.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets is a non-cash expense that is impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and to comparisons with the performance of other companies in our industry.


Acquisition-related and other transactional charges included in general and
administrative expenses are direct costs related to potential and completed
acquisitions, including transaction fees, due diligence costs, severance,
professional fees, and integration activities. Other transactional charges
include third-party costs related to structuring unusual transactions. The
occurrence and amount of these costs will vary depending on the timing and size
of acquisitions. We believe excluding acquisition-related costs facilitates the
comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to
other companies in our industry.

In-process research and development assets acquired are direct costs related to
assets acquisitions where the intangible assets acquired were determined to have
no alternative future use. This is a non-recurring expense and we believe
excluding acquired in-process research and development facilitates the
comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to
other companies in our industry.

Change in fair value of investments is a non-cash gain or loss impacted by the
fair value of investments. We believe the assessment of our operations excluding
this activity is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and to
comparisons with the performance of other companies in our industry.

Change in fair value of warrant liability is a non-cash gain or loss impacted by
the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants. We believe the assessment of
our operations excluding this activity is relevant to our assessment of internal
operations and to comparisons with the performance of other companies in our
industry.

We use the below non-GAAP financial measures, and we believe that they assist
our investors, to make period-to-period comparisons of our operational
performance because they provide a view of our operating results without items
that are not, in our view, indicative of our core operating results. We believe
that these non-GAAP financial measures help illustrate underlying trends in our
business, and we use the measures to establish budgets and operational goals for
managing our business and evaluating our performance. We believe that providing
non-GAAP financial measures also affords investors a view of our operating
results that may be more easily compared to the results of other companies in
our industry that use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP
results.

The items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures often have a material
impact on our financial results and such items often recur. Accordingly, the
non-GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following tables reconcile each
of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most closely comparable GAAP measure

We define "EBITDA" as net loss plus net interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense.

We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA adjusted for change in fair value of warrant liability, stock-based compensation expense, warrant expense and transaction costs associated with acquisitions.



We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional
tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends
because it eliminates the effect of financing, capital expenditures, and
non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation and warrants, and provides
investors with a means to compare our financial measures with those of
comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to
investors. However, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA that we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when
calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures
should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be
unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of these measures,
especially Adjusted EBITDA, may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate these
measures in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated
in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying
primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a
supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to
evaluate our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



We have incurred a net loss in each of our annual periods since our inception.
We incurred net losses of $102.3 million and $45.6 million during the six months
ended June 20, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, we had $514.5
million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. We completed the
Business Combination in December 2020, receiving $534.6 million net cash
proceeds as a result of the transaction. Additionally, during the six months
ended June 30, 2021, we received $170.7 million in net cash proceeds from the
exercise of public warrants. We expect both to support our operations and
investments in the near term.

Since inception, we have received cumulative net proceeds from the Business
Combination and the sale of our preferred and common stock of $973.4 million to
fund our operations. As of June 30, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity
were our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $514.5 million
which are principally invested in money market funds and fixed income
instruments.

In June 2018, we entered into a three-year, $20.0 million term loan, which
provided $10.0 million immediately with the remaining principal balance
available to be drawn in up to three draws of not less than $2.0 million for
12 months from close of the facility. We entered into this loan to fund capital
expenditures associated with our corporate office. The loan was repaid in full
in June 2021.

In April 2020, we received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $5.4 million under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the "PPP". The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses. We repaid the loan in full on May 13, 2020.


In connection with the acquisition of EnvisionTEC, we acquired $1.2 million in
PPP loans. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for
forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan which is dependent upon the Company
having initially qualified for the loan. Furthermore, the loan is subject to
forgiveness to the extent loan proceeds are used for payroll costs, certain
rents, utilities, and mortgage interest expense. The PPP loan has a maturity
date of April 3, 2022 and an interest rate of 1%. Principal and interest are
payable monthly commencing on a date determined by the lender following the
determination of the amount of the PPP loan to be forgiven or potentially
earlier, as determined under applicable Small Business Administration rules. The
outstanding borrowings may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to
maturity with no prepayment penalties. On May 14, 2021, the outstanding loan
balance was communicated as forgiven. There is no outstanding PPP loan balance
for EnvisionTEC as of June 30, 2021.



In connection with the acquisition of Adaptive 3D, we acquired $0.3 million in
PPP loans. As of June 30, 2021, $0.3 million of the PPP loans is classified as a
current liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2021,
forgiveness of the loan has been requested and remains outstanding.

We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our
operating plan and cash commitments for at least the next 12 months. As of
June 30, 2021, we had $188.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and
$326.3 million in short-term liquid investments. This liquid asset balance
significantly exceeds our current liabilities of $41.5 million as of the same
date. If we anticipate that our actual results will differ from our operating
plan, we believe we have sufficient capabilities to enact cost savings measures
to preserve capital.

We expect net losses to continue in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to invest in commercialization and new product development. Additionally, we may engage in future acquisitions which may require additional capital.

Cash Flows



Since inception, we have primarily used proceeds from the Business Combination,
issuances of preferred stock and debt instruments to fund our operations and
complete acquisitions. The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $71.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, primarily consisting of $102.3 million of net losses, adjusted
for non-cash items, which primarily included loss on change in fair value of
warrant liability of $56.6 million, gain on change in fair value of investment
of $19.5 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $9.4 million and
stock-based compensation expense of $6.2 million, as well as a $20.1 million
increase in cash consumed by working capital. The increase in cash consumed by
working capital was primarily driven by an increase in certain assets including
accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and other current assets,
alongside a decrease in certain liabilities including accounts payable and
customer deposits. This increase in cash consumed by working capital was
partially offset by an increase in certain liabilities including accrued
expenses and other current liabilities and deferred revenue.

Net cash used in operating activities was $40.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2020, primarily consisting of $45.6 million of net losses, adjusted for
certain non-cash items, which primarily included depreciation and amortization
expense of $4.5 million and stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million, as
well as a $1.8 million increase in cash consumed by working capital. The
increase in cash consumed by working capital was primarily driven by an increase
in certain assets including inventory. This increase in cash consumed by working
capital was partially offset by a decrease in certain assets including accounts
receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets and an increase in
certain liabilities including accounts payable, customer deposits and accrued
expenses and other current liabilities.

The majority of our inventory consists of finished goods. Inventory balances may
fluctuate during cycles of new product launch, commercialization and planned
growth of production and sales of products.

Investing Activities


Net cash used in investing activities was $387.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021, primarily consisting of purchases of marketable securities
of $281.4 million, offset by proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable
securities of $66.7 million. We also paid $168.0 million for acquisitions, and
$5.9 million to acquire in-process research and development. We purchased $3.6
million in convertible promissory notes and purchased $1.2 million of property
and equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates


Other than as described below, there were no material changes in the first six
months of 2021 to the information provided under the heading "Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Business Combinations



We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting,
which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at
their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of
the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair values of these
identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. While we use our
best estimates and judgments, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject
to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from
the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the fair value of these
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the
corresponding offset to goodwill. We continue to collect information and
reevaluate these estimates and assumptions quarterly and record any adjustments
to our preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that we are within the
measurement period.

The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to the
assets acquired, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset, can
materially impact the consolidated statements of operations of the periods
subsequent to the acquisition through depreciation and amortization, and in
certain instances through impairment charges, if the asset becomes impaired in
the future. In determining the estimated fair value for intangible assets, we
typically utilize the income approach, which discounts the projected future net
cash flow using a discount rate deemed appropriate by management that reflects
the risks associated with such projected future cash flow. Significant estimates
and assumptions include revenue growth rates, royalty rates, discount rates, and
tax amortization benefit. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset
also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have
different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have
indefinite useful lives.

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.
