ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

(1)  On July 9, 2002, the United States Department of Justice approved Sony
     Corporation as the licensee for certain of our technology, as provided for
     by the Final Judgement issued on April 17, 2002, by the United States
     District Court for the District of Columbia, relating to our acquisition of
     DTM Corporation. Under the terms of the license agreement, we have granted
     a license to Sony to certain of our North American patents and software
     copyrights for use only in the field of stereolithography within North
     America (consisting of the United States, Canada and Mexico) together with
     a list of our North American stereolithography customers, in exchange for a
     license fee of $US 900,000 payable by August 8, 2002. This license applies
     only to those North American patents which we or DTM owned or licensed as
     of April 17, 2002, as well as any applied-for patents as of April 17, 2002,
     that cover technology marketed prior to April 17, 2002 for use in the field
     of stereolithography. The license does not apply to technology which we may
     develop in the future. The license is perpetual, assignable, transferable
     and non-exclusive, but there is no right to sublicense except as necessary
     to establish distribution and to outsource manufacturing.
