INTRODUCTION AND USE OF CERTAIN TERMS
On December 1, 2012, we completed a merger with Stratasys, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as our merger or the merger. Pursuant to the merger, Stratasys, Inc. became our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary and we changed our name from Objet Ltd. to Stratasys Ltd. While Objet Ltd. was the legal acquirer in the merger, Stratasys, Inc. was treated as the acquiring company in the merger for accounting purposes, and the merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to Stratasys, our company, the Company, we, us, and our refer to Stratasys Ltd. (formerly known as Objet Ltd.), and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to Objet generally refer to Objet Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the merger on December 1, 2012, and sometimes also are used as references to our current, ongoing operations related to the historical Objet that continue following the merger. References to Stratasys, Inc. generally refer to Stratasys, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the merger, but sometimes (as the context requires) refer to our current, ongoing operations related to historical Stratasys, Inc. that continue following the merger. The historical financial information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 6-K, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, reflects the consolidated results of operations and financial position of: (i) Stratasys, Inc. prior to the merger; and (ii) Stratasys Ltd. since the merger (on December 1, 2012).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Stratasys Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All intercompany accounts and transactions, including profits from intercompany sales not yet realized outside the Company, have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company owns 51% of Objet Japan Co. Ltd. The minority owners non-controlling interest is included as a component of equity and a reduction to net income and to comprehensive income attributable to Stratasys Ltd. The Company has one reportable segment.
The consolidated interim financial information herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. The reader is referred to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed as part of the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F for such year.
The Company is the result of the merger of Stratasys, Inc. and Objet Ltd. (Objet). On December 1, 2012 (the merger date), the two companies completed an all-stock merger (the merger), pursuant to which Stratasys, Inc. became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Objet. In connection with the merger, Objet changed its name to Stratasys Ltd.
The merger was structured as a merger of Stratasys, Inc. with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Objet. Stratasys, Inc. stockholders received one ordinary share of Stratasys Ltd. for each share of Stratasys, Inc. common stock they owned. Upon closing of the transaction, the former Stratasys, Inc. stockholders owned approximately 55 percent and the Objet shareholders retained approximately 45 percent of the ordinary shares of the company on a fully diluted basis using the treasury stock method. Accordingly, while Objet was the legal acquirer, Stratasys, Inc. is treated as the acquiring company in the merger for accounting purposes and the merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. As a result, the financial statements of the Company prior to the merger date are the separate historical financial statements of only Stratasys, Inc., whereas the financial statements of the Company after the merger date reflect the results of the operations of Stratasys, Inc. and Objet on a combined basis. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income and of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are on a combined basis and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are on a separate Stratasys, Inc. basis only.
Note 2. Business Combination
The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and accordingly, the total purchase price of $1,341 million was calculated as if Stratasys, Inc. had issued its shares to Objets shareholders and converted options to purchase Objets ordinary shares to options to purchase Stratasys, Inc. common stock (which became exercisable instead for Stratasys Ltd. ordinary shares upon consummation of the merger).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets of Objet acquired in the merger, based on their fair values at the merger date. The estimated fair values are preliminary and based on the information that was available as of the merger date. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize these amounts, particularly with respect to the estimated fair value of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and deferred taxes related thereto. Thus the preliminary measurements of fair value reflected are subject to changes and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the merger date. There were no changes during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the preliminary measurements of fair value. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):
Allocation of | |||

Other non-current liabilities | 6,474 | ||

The allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition of the following intangible assets (in thousands):

Amount | Life - Years | ||||
Developed technology | $ | 374,126 | 9.6 | ||

Trade name | 15,291 | 9 | |||
In-process R&D | 28,080 | Indefinite | |||
Total intangible assets | $ | 490,176 |
In addition, the allocation of the purchase price resulted in the recognition of backlog, which was valued at $6.3 million. Backlog is included in accounts receivable - other and is being amortized to selling, general and administrative based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of backlog are estimated to be realized.
The Company incurred $0.9 million of acquisition-related costs related to the merger that were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2012. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the Companys consolidated statements of operations. There were no significant acquisition-related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Note 5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted income (loss) per ordinary share attributable to Stratasys Ltd. for all periods presented. Basic net income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the reporting periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares or resulted in the issuance of shares that then share in the income (loss) of the Company. The difference between the number of shares used to compute basic net income (loss) per share and diluted net income (loss) per share relates to additional shares, if diluted, that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, net of the shares that would hypothetically be repurchased using the proceeds received from the original exercise.
The additional ordinary shares amounted to 536,621 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As a result of the net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2013, the outstanding stock options were considered antidilutive and, therefore, were excluded from diluted loss per share of this period. There were no options excluded from the dilution calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2012, since the market price of the Companys shares exceeded the exercise price of all outstanding options.
Note 6. Income Taxes
The Company uses a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (tax contingencies) in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company reevaluates these tax positions quarterly and makes adjustments as required. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.8 million at March 31, 2013 and $1.7 million at December 31, 2012.

STRATASYS LTD. AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The effective tax rate of 4.6% on the loss before income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was lower as compared to the 39.9% effective rate on the income before income taxes for the same prior-year period. The decrease is primarily due to the lower tax rate on earnings (losses) in Israel as well as the tax benefit as a result of the realization of the deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of the intangible assets. Also, the federal research credit was reinstated on January 2, 2013, so the entire 2012 credit of approximately $350,000, as well as the credit for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $110,000 was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The federal research credit had expired on December 31, 2011 and, therefore, was not considered in computing the effective rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available under the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
At March 31, 2013, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts in effect for the conversion of €11.0 million into $14.0 million and $30.3 million into NIS 118.5 million. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting. The fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2013 was $2.2 million included in accounts receivable-other and $0.1 million included as other current liabilities. The fair value is based on level 2 inputs. The Company did not enter into any new foreign exchange forward contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company had no other significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition.
Note 8. Collaborative Arrangements
The Company has agreements with two manufacturing companies to jointly advance certain of its proprietary technology with each of those two companies. The agreements entitle the Company to receive reimbursement payments of costs actually incurred under joint development projects. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, approximately $1.0 million and $150,000, respectively, of research and development expenses were offset by payments that were received from these companies.

1) On June 29, 2012, a purported class action complaint was filed in the District Court, Fourth Judicial District, Hennepin County, Minnesota (the Minnesota Court), naming Stratasys, Inc., the members of its board of directors, and Objets two indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries party to the merger agreement (Seurat Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Objet, or Holdco, and Oaktree Merger Inc., a Delaware corporation, or Merger Sub) as defendants. On July 2, 2012, another purported class action complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the Delaware Court), naming the same persons as well as Objet as defendants. A third purported class action was filed on July 17, 2012, also in the Minnesota Court naming the same parties (except for Objet) as defendants. The complaints generally allege that, in connection with approving the merger, the Stratasys, Inc. directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to Stratasys, Inc. stockholders and that Stratasys, Inc., Objet, Holdco and Merger Sub knowingly aided and abetted the Stratasys, Inc. directors breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaints sought, among other things, certification of the case as a class action, an injunction against the consummation of the transaction, a judgment against the defendants for damages, and an award of fees, expenses and costs to plaintiffs and their attorneys.
While the Company and the other defendants believe that each of the aforementioned lawsuits is without merit and that the Company has valid defenses to all claims, in an effort to minimize cost and expense of any litigation relating to such lawsuits, on September 6, 2012, the Company and other defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the parties to the actions pending in the Chancery Court and the Minnesota Court, pursuant to which the Company and such parties agreed in principle, and subject to certain conditions, to settle those stockholder lawsuits. Subject to approval of the appropriate court and further definitive documentation, the MOU establishes a framework to resolve the allegations against the Company and other defendants in connection with the merger agreement and contemplates a release and settlement by the plaintiffs of all claims against the Company and other defendants and their affiliates and agents in connection with the Merger Agreement. In exchange for such release and settlement, pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the parties agreed, after arms-length negotiations, that Stratasys, Inc. would file a Current Report on Form 8-K amending and supplementing the applicable disclosure in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, dated August 8, 2012, which had been sent to Stratasys, Inc. stockholders.
The plaintiffs are presently engaged in confirmatory discovery with respect to the disclosures made in the proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, the parties are engaged in negotiating a final settlement agreement, which will be submitted to the Delaware Court for approval. However, if the conditions set forth in the MOU are not satisfied or the Delaware Court fails to approve the settlement, the litigation will proceed, and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend these actions.
The Company recorded a provision in 2012 for probable losses, which are reasonably estimable, arising from this claim, as estimated by management.

2) In May 2004, a former employee sued the Company and one of the Companys directors demanding that the Company issue to him an option to purchase 1.75% of Objets outstanding shares and compensate him in an amount equal to NIS 315,000 ($85,000). The cause of action was an alleged breach of certain undertakings made by the Company to the former employee. Additionally, he claimed that the Company failed to pay his salary and certain social benefits with respect to a certain period of time. The Company filed a statement of defense in which the Company denied any wrongdoing in this action. In May 2011, the court ruled in the Companys favor, denying all of the former employees claims. The former employee appealed the decision to the national labor court, but the Company reached a settlement with the former employee, agreeing to pay NIS 100,000 ($27,000), in November 2012, which was approved by the court, and the appeal was dismissed.
3) In October 2007, a former supplier of Objet brought an action against Objet and the former directors of its European subsidiary (one of whom, Ilan Levin, is a current director of the Company) in a Brussels commercial court, claiming damages of €566,000 ($747,000), plus interest and related legal and litigation costs. On April 26, 2010, the court held Objet and its subsidiarys former directors jointly and severally liable for the full amount claimed. Objet along with its subsidiarys former directors filed an appeal of the judgment in May 2010, with respect to which the final judgment is expected to be rendered in 2013. In keeping with required procedures related to the litigation, in July 2011, the Company deposited the full amount of the original judgment in favor of the former supplier, plus interest and litigation costs (€690,000, or $911,000, in total) into a blocked, state-owned account in the Companys name, to be held pending the outcome of the appeal.
Objet recorded a provision in 2007 and 2008 for probable losses, which are reasonably estimable, arising from this claim, as estimated by management. Management believes that there is no material exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued.
4) In December 2008, another employee, whose employment with the Company was subsequently terminated, filed a claim against the Company demanding that, based on an alleged undertaking the Company had made, the Company issue to him an option that would allow him to maintain an equity interest of 1.45% in the Company, as well as reimburse salary reductions he had suffered in an aggregate sum of NIS 552,000 ($148,000). In July 2009, the Company filed its statement of defense, rejecting the claims raised by the former employee. Together with the former employee, the Company initiated mediation of the dispute, but did not reach a settlement. The former employee later amended his initial pleading to seek an additional NIS 441,000 ($118,000) on account of alleged wrongful termination by the Company, and consequently, the Company filed an amended statement of defense on June 2011. The former employee later amended his statement of claim for the second time, so that it will include a claim that the Company never granted him options. The action is currently ongoing and is being litigated in an Israeli labor court. Evidentiary hearings took place on February 7, 2013 and April 4, 2013 and summation briefs are due to be submitted by the parties.
Objet recorded a provision in 2008 for probable losses, which are reasonably estimable, arising from this claim, as estimated by management.
It is reasonably possible that the loss arising from this claim will be greater than the amount accrued, up to the entire amount claimed.
5) On April 15, 2012, the Company and a former distributor signed a mediation / arbitration agreement in order to either amicably resolve or arbitrate, in Israel, a dispute related to a distributorship agreement with the former distributor that the Company had terminated for cause. Without waiving any of its rights, and for the purpose of mediation, the former distributor has claimed compensation of $1.5 million for, among other things, its alleged investment in building a market for the Companys products, while the Company has claimed approximately $0.5 million (under a similar reservation of rights), for amounts owed to it by the distributor under the distributorship agreement, damages to the Companys reputation and lost profits. The first mediation meeting under the mediation / arbitration agreement was held on July 18, 2012, and it has been followed by additional meetings that the mediator has held with each of the parties separately. The mediation is still in progress as of the date of these financial statements.

Management does not believe that the allegations made by the former distributor will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
6) On March 4, 2013, the Company was notified of two lawsuits purportedly filed in an Israeli district court against the Company by four current or former minority shareholders and former directors of the Company. The lawsuits purportedly demand that the Company amend its capitalization table such that certain shares previously issued to Objet shareholders named as defendants would be recognized as being owned by the plaintiffs with a consequent reduction of the share ownership of the named defendants. The lawsuits also name as defendants Elchanan Jaglom, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Companys board of directors, David Reis, Chief Executive Officer, various shareholders of the Company who were also shareholders of Objet, and, in one of the lawsuits, Ilan Levin, a director. The lawsuits allege in particular that a series of investments in Objet during 2002 and 2003 was effected at a price per share that was below fair market value, thereby illegally diluting those shareholders that did not participate in the investments. The plaintiffs also allege that a portion of the amount invested in those transactions was actually invested by an investor who was already a shareholder of Objet and allegedly acting in concert with Mr. Jaglom, and that the interest of these two shareholders in these transactions was not properly disclosed to the minority shareholders at the time. The lawsuits furthermore claim that the Company effectively engaged in backdating the issuance of certain shares, in that shares that Objet reported as having been issued in 2006 and 2007 were actually issued at a subsequent dateas late as 2009. In April 2013, the Company, the plaintiffs and all other defendants agreed that the defendants will submit their statement of defense by May 26, 2013. A pre-trial hearing will take place in June 2013. The foreign defendants accepted the jurisdiction of the Israeli court, and the hearing of both claims will be united. The court approved the parties agreement.
The Company believes that these claims are all entirely baseless and that the transactions in question were conducted in accordance with applicable law. Management does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition, and the Company intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits.
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings, in the normal course of its business. The Company accrues for a loss contingency when it determines that it is more likely than not, after consultation with management, that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Company believes that the outcome of these legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
