EARTHSHELL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

Presentation of Financial Information

        The foregoing interim financial information is unaudited and has been prepared from the books and records of EarthShell Corporation (the "Company"). In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature for interim financial reporting. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.

        The accompanying unaudited financial statements and these notes do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles, which were included in the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period from November 1, 1992 (inception) to September 30, 2002, the Company has incurred a cumulative net loss of $280,400,117 and has a working capital deficit of $8,575,935 at September 30, 2002. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

        The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Management is continuing its efforts to obtain additional funds so that the Company can meet its obligations and sustain operations from sources that are described in the notes to the financial statements. (See Convertible Debt, and Liquidity and Capital Resources)

        Basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding of 138,500,013 and 132,433,714 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively and 114,169,194 and 110,746,927 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. Basic and diluted per share calculation is the same because common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive. The Company had 3,771,150 options outstanding at September 30, 2002.

Related Party Transactions

        E. Khashoggi Industries LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("EKI") own approximately 43% of the Company's shares, and may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company paid or accrued $300,000 and $401,055 respectively, and $1,068,313 and $1,092,197 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for payments related to a license agreement between Biotec, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EKI, and the Company, related primarily to the EarthShell sandwich wraps technology.

---

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 the Company has, from time to time, received short term working capital loans from EKI, at an interest rate of 10% per annum. At September 30, 2002 the Company had notes payable of $2,000,000. During October 2002, the Company increased notes payable to EKI by $850,000. In the beginning of November 2002, notes payable were reduced by $1,100,000. At November 14, 2002, the Company had notes payable to EKI of $1,750,000.

Commitments

        During 1998, EKI entered into certain agreements with an equipment manufacturer providing for the purchase by EKI of certain technology applicable to starch-based disposable packaging. EKI licenses such technology to the Company on a royalty-free basis pursuant to the License Agreement. In connection with the purchase, and pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement with EKI, the Company agreed to pay the seller of the technology $3,500,000 on or about December 31, 2003, which obligation is secured by a letter of credit. The Company's obligation to the seller of the technology will be reduced by 5% of the purchase price of any equipment purchased by EKI, the Company or its licensees or joint venture partners from the seller of the technology. The Company believes that there will be a demand for more than $70 million in new equipment over the next 2-3 years, which will extinguish the obligation.

        In addition, the Company is required to pay $3,000,000 over the five-year period commencing January 1, 2004 if EKI, the Company or the Company's licensees or joint venture partners have not purchased, by December 31, 2003, at least $35,000,000 of equipment from the seller of the technology and EKI, the Company or the Company's licensees or joint venture partners make active use of the purchased technology. To date the Company has not made active use of such patents and related technology. EKI has agreed to indemnify the Company to the extent the Company is required to pay any portion of this $3,000,000 obligation solely as a result of EKI's or its licensees' active use of such patents and related technology (other than use by the Company or its sublicensees).

Convertible Debt

        On August 12, 2002 the Company issued $10 million in convertible debentures to institutional investors. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per annum. The holders of the debentures have the right to convert the debenture to the Company's common stock at $1.30 per share. Since the conversion price was significantly above the fair market value of the common stock at the date of issue, the debentures were deemed to have no beneficial conversion feature. The proceeds from the debentures were used to secure an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the debenture holders such that unrestricted access to the proceeds of the debentures occurs only upon conversion of the debentures into shares of the Company's common stock accompanied by a pro rate reduction in the letter of credit. In addition to the holders' conversion option, the Company has the right to force conversion of up to $500,000 of the debenture per week at a 15% discount to the market price of the Company's stock. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company forced conversion of $1 million of the debentures, reducing the outstanding balance of the debentures to $9 million. A non-cash expense of $176,471 was recorded as a result of this conversion to reflect the 15% discount to the market price of the Company's common stock.

        In connection with the issuance of the debentures, the Company issued to the holders warrants to purchase 2.5 million shares of common stock at $1.20 per share. A value of $1,521,046 was ascribed to the warrants and recorded as an original issue discount based on the Black-Scholes method of valuation

---

(assuming a warrant term of 5 years, a discount rate of 3.4%, and a volatility factor of 276%). A non-cash accretion charge of $220,551 to amortize this original issue discount was recorded for the third quarter of 2002.

        The debentures may be prepaid upon twenty days notice for 104% of the outstanding balance of the debentures.

Property and Equipment:

        The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 consisted of the following:

        In connection with the startup of the demonstration line in Goettingen, Germany, the Company expects that the PolarCup EarthShell joint venture will accept the performance of the line and will acquire the equipment very soon. It has been agreed that the joint venture will reimburse EarthShell for the cost of the line on a replacement cost basis, which will exclude one-time engineering or development costs. In analyzing the asset for impairment, the Company has secured quotations from the various machinery suppliers for an identical line, and has concluded that $1.6 million of development cost will not be reimbursable by the joint venture and therefore was written off in the third quarter of 2002, which is included in other Research and Development expense in the Statements of Operations.

        With regard to the equipment at Owings Mills, the Company entered into a new Sublicense and Operating Agreement with Sweetheart Cup Company on October 3, 2002 wherein Sweetheart was granted a "priority" for certain EarthShell product groups in certain key US market segments. Under the agreement, Sweetheart will be developing production capacity at Owings Mills. It is expected that Sweetheart will utilize the Company's existing infrastructure and equipment as much as is practicable. Specific agreements regarding the amount, form or timing of compensation to the Company will be reached over the course of the coming year as Sweetheart builds out the Owings Mills facility. In this context, the Company has evaluated the Owings Mills asset for impairment and has written off $251,791 related to a portion of the forming process, which is included in other Research and Development expense in the Statements of Operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

        Information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," or "continue," or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Any one factor or combination of factors could cause the Company's actual operating performance or financial results to differ substantially from those anticipated by management that are described herein. Factors influencing the Company's operating performance and financial results include, but are not limited to, changes in the general economy, the availability of financing, governmental regulations concerning, but not limited to, environmental issues, and other risks and unforeseen circumstances affecting the Company's business and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

        The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company's balance sheet and the amounts of expenses reported for each fiscal period are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for asset impairments. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

        Restricted Cash.    At March 30, 1998, a certificate of deposit for $3,500,000 was opened as collateral on the letter of credit related to the Company's obligation under a letter agreement between the Company's majority stockholder, EKI, and the Company relating to a patent purchase agreement between EKI and a third party as discussed in the Commitments and is classified as restricted cash on the balance sheet.

        Convertible Debt.    The debentures may be prepaid upon twenty days notice for 104% of the outstanding balance of the debentures.

        Estimated Net Realizable Value of Property and Equipment.    The Company has been engaged in the development of manufacturing equipment to demonstrate the commercial viability of its manufacturing processes. To this end the Company has developed commercial manufacturing lines in Goleta, California and Owings Mills, Maryland and Goettingen, Germany. The operating equipment and machinery and related manufacturing assets are carried on the Company's books at the lower of cost (net of depreciation), or fair value.

        The Company's business plans call for the transfer of manufacturing responsibility for its products to its operating partners. The Company expects to negotiate a fair market value for its existing

8

---

manufacturing equipment, not to exceed the then current replacement value of the equipment, to certain of its operating partners. (See Property and Equipment). However, until the transfers and sales are complete, the Company cannot be certain that such value will be realized. Failure of the equipment to perform at a level satisfactory to the operating partners, failure to negotiate mutually agreeable terms of transfer, or any other failure to conclude the transfer of one or more on the operating lines to the respective operating partners may require the Company to consider alternative approaches to utilize the equipment such as funding an alternative operating partner to take over, relocating the equipment, or dismantling the line. Any one of these alternatives could have a negative economic impact on the carrying value of the equipment.

        The key accounting estimates and policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Overview of Operations

        Organized in November 1992 as a Delaware corporation, EarthShell® Corporation (the "Company"), is engaged in the commercialization of composite material technology for the manufacture of foodservice disposable packaging designed with the environment in mind. EarthShell Packaging® is based on patented composite material technology (collectively, the "EarthShell Technology"), licensed on an exclusive, worldwide basis from EKI.

        The EarthShell Technology has been developed over many years in consultation with leading material scientists and environmental experts to reduce the environmental burdens of foodservice disposable packaging through the careful selection of raw materials, processes, and suppliers. EarthShell Packaging, including hinged-lid sandwich containers, plates, bowls, and cups, is primarily made from commonly available natural raw materials such as natural ground limestone and potato starch. The Company believes that EarthShell Packaging has comparable or superior performance characteristics and can be commercially produced and sold at prices that are competitive with comparable paper and plastic foodservice disposable packaging.

        Currently, the Company's key strategic relationships include Sweetheart Cup Company Inc. ("Sweetheart") in Maryland, Huhtamäki Oyj, ("Huhtamäki") in Europe, Green Earth Packaging, Inc. ("GEP") in the U.S.,

        Green Packaging SDN BHD ("Green Packaging") in Malaysia, and E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont") in the U.S. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the following significant milestones were achieved.

        The Company:

•

Entered into a definitive agreement with DuPont.



•

Signed a Sublease and Operations Agreement to enable GEP to run EarthShell's Goleta, California plate and bowl manufacturing operations which supplies most of EarthShell's current commercial customers. (The existing license agreement with GEP is for the US market and requires a minimum capital investment of $10 million in order to build production capacity to support sales of at least $25 million per year.)



•

Entered into a Supplemental Agreement with Green Packaging in Malaysia wherein Green Packaging agreed to invest at least $10 million in production equipment and to achieve annual product sales of at least $50 million beginning in 2004.

9

---

•

Entered into a definitive Operating and Sublicense Agreement with Sweetheart granting to Sweetheart a priority right to access $500 million of product sales for specified product families in the US in select market segments. Sweetheart's priority rights are subject to Sweetheart meeting certain investment and sales minimums.



•

Completed the installation of the first commercial EarthShell production line in Germany in cooperation with its joint venture partner, Huhtamaki, who is starting up the line in anticipation of commercial production.

        The Company has been manufacturing and selling initial quantities of commercial product in cooperation with its strategic partners. The Company recorded the proceeds from such sales since its inception as an offset to the cost of the manufacturing operations.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002, to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001.

        Total Research and Development Expenses    Total research and development expenditures for the development of EarthShell Packaging decreased $1.8 million to $14.5 million from $16.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and decreased $4.0 million to $3.2 million from $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decreases for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to September 30, 2001 are related to the elimination of operating costs related to the Owings Mills facility, and the completion of the critical work by the Company's licensees and operating partners to allow them to take over manufacturing responsibility for EarthShell products. This reduction has been offset by the impairment of $1.6 million for demonstration line in Goettingen, Germany and the impairment of $251,791 for the commercial line in Owings Mills, Maryland.

        Total General and Administrative Expenses    Total general and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million to $7.0 million from $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and remained constant at $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to September 30 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to September 30, 2001 there was a $750,000 decrease in salaries and related payroll expense, and a $750,000 decrease for legal expenses related to the settlement of the lawsuit with Novamont, to the Company's satisfaction, which occurred in the second quarter of 2001. The Company's expenditure on maintaining patents remained constant when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense    Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.2 million to $2.4 million from $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and decreased $0.3 million to $0.8 million from $1.1 million when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2001. The decrease in depreciation expense is attributable to the decrease in fixed assets as a result of write down of equipment to net realizable value during the fourth quarter of 2001.

        Miscellaneous Expense.    The $320,970 increase for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to September 30, 2001 is a direct result of $144,409 discount on debt and $176,471 for debt conversion costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at September 30, 2002

        Cash Flow.    The Company's principal use of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was to fund operations. Net cash used in operations decreased $4.0 million to $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net cash used in investing activities was $12.7 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $32.5 million and $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        Capital Requirements.    Through September 30, 2002 the Company has paid or accrued approximately $2.7 million in capital expenditures. The Company paid or accrued approximately $3.6 million in capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company expects to spend a total of $3.0 million in 2002 for capital expenditures, all of which are related to manufacturing equipment for EarthShell Packaging.

        Sources of Capital.    As part of the Company's initial public offering on March 27, 1998, the Company issued 10,526,316 shares of common stock, for which it received net proceeds of $206 million. On April 18, 2000 and January 4, 2001, the Company filed shelf registrations statements for 5 million and 15 million shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 the Company sold approximately 13.5 million and 4.5 million shares of common stock in negotiated transactions under such registration statements and received net proceeds from such sales of approximately $30.5 million and $10.5 million, respectively.

        In December of 2001 the Company filed a shelf registration statement that provides for the sale of up to $50 million of securities, including secured or unsecured debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, and warrants. These securities may be offered, separately or together, in distinct series, and in amounts, at prices and on terms to be set forth in the prospectus contained in the registration statement, and in subsequent supplements to the prospectus. From January 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 the Company sold approximately 22.8 million shares of common stock in negotiated transactions under such registration statements and received net proceeds from such sales of approximately $20.5 million.

        On August 12, 2002 the Company issued $10 million in convertible debentures to institutional investors. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per annum. The holders of the debentures have the right to convert the debenture to the Company's common stock at $1.30 per share. Based on the conversion price relative to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of issue, the debentures were deemed to have no beneficial conversion feature. The proceeds from the debentures are subject to an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the holders, secured by cash such that unrestricted access to the proceeds of the debentures occurs only upon conversion of the debentures into shares of the Company's common stock. In addition to the holders' conversion option, the Company has the right to force conversion of up to $500,000 of the debenture per week at a 15% discount to the market price of the Company's stock. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company forced conversion of $1 million of the debenture, reducing the outstanding balance to $9 million.

        During September, the Company's largest shareholder, EKI, made various simple interest working capital loans to the Company in the net amount of $2 million. These loans bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are payable on demand.

11

---

        The Company continues to consider various financing opportunities to fund its operations and to minimize the cost of capital to the Company. To this end, the Company may continue to utilize its shelf registration statement as necessary from time to time. While the Company believes that it will continue to raise sufficient capital as necessary to fund its operations, the Company cannot be certain that funding commitments can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

        The Company's business plan calls for the transfer of technology to its operating partners and the transition of manufacturing responsibility to these operating partners. Certain EarthShell operating partners have already begun to invest directly in the purchase of their own manufacturing equipment for EarthShell products. Upon the successful completion of transition of the manufacturing responsibility to its operating partners and the subsequent build-up of manufacturing capacity by these partners and consequent commencement of in-the-market products sales, the Company expects to then begin recognizing royalty revenues. Meanwhile, the Company has largely restructured its operations to reflect this transition. This has resulted in a significant reduction in headcount and operating costs, which began to occur as early as the first quarter of 2002.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        The Company has $12.5 million in restricted cash. If interest rates increase or decrease by 1%, interest income will increase or decrease by $125,000. The Company has $7.7 million in convertible notes payable. If interest rates increase or decrease by 1%, interest expense will increase or decrease by $90,000. The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk is not material.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

        Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.    Based on their evaluation, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

        Changes in internal controls.    There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
