VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 24, 2003--3D Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: TDSC) announced today an update on the status of the audit of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

The Company stated that, as of March 24, 2003, the Company's auditors had not completed their audit, and would be unable to complete this audit until the Company's Audit Committee had completed its investigation of certain matters, principally relating to the timing of revenue recognition for transactions that occurred during 2002.

In order to meet this requirement, the Company's Audit Committee has retained the law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP, which has engaged the accounting firm of BDO Seidman, LLP to review selected sales transactions. Although there can be no assurances given at this time, the Company seeks to complete its audit in time to file its Form 10K by April 15, which would be timely under applicable SEC regulations (including any extensions). Its investor conference call, which was postponed on February 18, 2003, will be rescheduled following completion of the 2002 audit.
