Part II, Part III and Part IV
PART I.
Item 1. Business.
General
Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (the "Company" or
"SDRC") is a leading international supplier of mechanical
design automation (MDA) software, product data management (PDM)
software and related services.
The Company's MDA software product, I-DEAS Master Series(TM),
is an integrated CAD/CAM/CAE product which allows manufacturers
to optimize product performance and reduce cost, while
streamlining the product development process from concept
through manufacturing. This total approach to product and
process engineering enables significant improvements in
quality, while reducing overall development time and cost.
Metaphase Series 2 software, SDRC's PDM product, provides a
comprehensive approach to the management and control of product
information, configuration, release management and workflow.
Background
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Ohio in 1967. The Company was founded to provide advanced
engineering consulting services and over time developed some of
the industry's first mechanical engineering software packages
to assist in its consulting efforts. After receiving strong
customer interest in these software packages, the Company began
marketing its software in the early 1970s. Today, SDRC's
combination of software technology and related software
services provides a comprehensive solution to address customer
needs.
During the past five years, the Company has restructured
certain aspects of its business. In 1992, the Company and
Control Data Systems, Inc. established a joint venture company,
Metaphase Technology, Inc., to market product data management
software. In 1994, the Company and Siemens Nixdorf
Informationssysteme AG (SNI) formed a joint venture, SDRC
Software and Services GmbH, to supply mechanical CAE/CAD/CAM
software and services in Central Europe. In 1995, the Company
purchased the remaining SNI interest of SDRC Software and
Services GmbH. Also in 1995, the Company merged its software
products marketing and engineering services subsidiaries into a
single subsidiary which now provides all the software products
and related services.
Strategy
The Company's strategy is to establish acknowledged
technological leadership in marketing a highly functional set
of mechanical design automation (MDA) and product data
management (PDM) software tools and providing related software
services.
I-DEAS Master Series(TM)
The Company develops and markets a comprehensive MDA
software system called I-DEAS (Integrated Design Engineering
Analysis Software) Master Series(TM). I-DEAS(TM) is a family of
more than 90 tightly-integrated software modules that automate the
entire mechanical product development process. I-DEAS is one
of the most widely used mechanical design automation software
tools in the industry, with more than 150,000 I-DEAS software
licenses in use at more than 15,000 customer sites worldwide.
I-DEAS allows manufacturers to design, simulate, test,
optimize manufacturing and prototype product concepts in a
fraction of the time required using standalone or partially
integrated software tools. As a result, it helps customers
develop higher quality products faster and less expensively
than ever before.
With I-DEAS, users are able to create and view a "master
model", a solid representation of a product that precisely
defines its geometry and material characteristics. This master
model is easily understood by everyone concerned with the
product, including representatives from management, marketing
and manufacturing. It can be analyzed to evaluate the
mechanical performance and structural integrity of the design
concept, as well as provide information that can be used to
optimize product performance.
Metaphase Series 2
SDRC also markets product data management software,
Metaphase Series 2, which helps track and manage data
associated with the product throughout the development process.
Metaphase Series 2 is a modular PDM system designed to provide
the depth and breadth of functionality customers require to
meet current and future data management needs.
Metaphase Series 2 software helps customers improve the way
they create, share, access, define, manufacture and support
their products. For product developers, this means fast,
reliable access to the latest drawings, specifications and
engineering changes they need regardless of location or the
application used to create them. And for managers, it means
accurate, reliable information about work-in-process as well as
documentation of the entire product life cycle.
Services
The Company provides customers with technical applications
software support and maintenance, technical support, training
and consulting services. Technical applications software
support and maintenance service provides telephone "hotline"
support, software maintenance corrections for licensed I-DEAS
products and features as well as enhancement versions released
during the term of the contract, and documentation updates to
support new vendor hardware and other services that enhance and
maintain the customer's I-DEAS software investment.
The Company provides basic training for each major I-DEAS
software package. Advanced training classes are offered for
selected I-DEAS applications to support continued growth of
customer skills and to increase the productivity of departments
utilizing I-DEAS.
Building on its extensive knowledge of mechanical design
automation technology and engineering applications, the Company
also provides engineering consulting services to assist in the
optimization of the design of its customers' products and to
improve its customers' development process. In addition,
advanced training and technology transfer are provided to
customers to enable them to integrate and optimize their
mechanical design automation investment. Advanced computer
simulation methods and in-depth application expertise are
utilized for traditional or highly specialized computer
technologies including design audits, product design,
troubleshooting and engineering process design.
Heterogeneous environment/platforms
The Company's software is available on the leading
engineering workstations. This hardware platform independence
allows the Company's customers to operate in a heterogeneous
environment, selecting and adding software modules for a broad
range of hardware systems based upon their unique requirements.
The productivity benefits of leading-edge capabilities, such as
unprecedented ease-of-use, team oriented product development,
best-in-class design, integrated simulation and integrated
applications, have increased the number of potential users who
can utilize these tools. The Company believes its products and
services are of great value to companies which must accelerate,
improve and streamline design processes in response to
increased competition while simultaneously designing and
manufacturing mechanical products in accordance with specific
quality and cost criteria. A broad range of industries are
potential users of these tools, with the highest concentration
of users at automotive, electronics, aerospace, and industrial
equipment manufacturers.
Sales channels
The Company markets its products and services primarily
through its direct sales and support force. The Company
employs highly skilled engineers and technically proficient
support people capable of serving the sophisticated needs of
the customer. The Company has an established relationship with
a distributor in Japan, Information Services International -
Dentsu Ltd., which accounted for approximately 14%, 11% and
11% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively. In addition, the Company also utilizes
distributors, value-added resellers and other marketing
representatives for its marketing efforts.
Sales channels (continued)
In certain markets where the Company does not maintain a direct
sales force, it licenses its products through independent
representatives. Telemarketing is also used to complement both
the direct and marketing indirect channels.
Seasonality
Historically, the Company has tended to realize a
disproportionate amount of its total revenue in each quarter
during the last month of the quarter, and to realize a
disproportionate amount of its total annual revenue during the
fourth quarter of each year. Future quarterly results could be
impacted by factors such as order deferrals, a slower growth
rate in the market, increased competition or adverse changes in
general economic conditions in any of the countries in which
the Company does business. Any shortfall in revenue or
earnings could have an immediate and significant adverse effect
on the trading price of the Company's stock in any given
period. The results of operations for the three years ending
December 31,1995 are not necessarily indicative of future
expectations.
Competition
The market for the Company's software products is highly
competitive and the Company expects competitive pressure to
increase in the future. To maintain its position of
technological leadership, the Company must continually enhance
its existing software products and pursue the development and
introduction of new products. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in developing or marketing new
products. In addition, there can be no assurance that any new
products will adequately achieve market acceptance. There can
be no assurances that competition will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company competes against products in the CAE/CAD/CAM
market including the CADAM and CATIA products marketed by IBM,
the CADDS product marketed by Computervision Corporation, the
UNIGRAPHICS product marketed by EDS, the I/EMS product marketed
by Intergraph Corporation and the Pro/ENGINEER product marketed
by Parametric Technology Corporation. In the PDM market, the
company competes against such products as the Optegra product
marketed by Computervision Corporation, the Sherpa product
marketed by Sherpa Corporation, and others. The Company's
future success will depend in a large part on its ability to
further penetrate its installed customer base as well as the
installed customer base of its competitors.
An important component of the SDRC "total solution"
approach to provide MDA and PDM software tools and related
engineering consulting services to customers is the Company
employees. The Company's success will depend in part on its
ability to attract and retain employees who are in great
demand.
The principal competitive factors in the mechanical design
and PDM market for software and related services are product
functionality, product breadth and integration, product
performance, product quality, hardware platform support, ease
of product use, price, customer support, technical reputation
and size of installed customer base.
Other Information
Segment and geographic information is included on page 39
of the Company's Annual report to Shareholders for the year
ended December 31, 1995, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
The Company owns all the standard software products that it
licenses with the exception of I-DEAS Documentation System(TM),
I-DEAS Drafting(TM), I-DEAS View Markup(TM), I-DEAS GNC(TM), I-DEAS
Post Writer(TM), I-DEAS GNC Multi-Axis(TM), I-DEAS Symbols
Library(TM), I-DEAS TMG(TM), I-DEAS Electronic Systems Cooling(TM),
I-DEAS Wire EDM(TM), I-DEAS Team Conference(TM), DMCS(TM), Desktop
PDM(TM), Metaphase, portions of I-DEAS Sound Quality(TM), portions
of I-DEAS Mechanism Design(TM), and a variety of data translators
which it licenses from third parties. Under these license
agreements, the Company pays a percentage royalty to the third
parties.
Other Information (continued)
As is customary throughout the software industry, the
Company relies both on copyrights and trade secrecy for
proprietary protection of its software products. The duration
of such protection is considered to be quite adequate given the
constantly changing nature of the business. The Company also
utilizes a number of trademarks, both registered and otherwise,
with respect to its software products. The proprietary status
of its trademarks lasts indefinitely, so long as the trademarks
remain in use.
The Company typically ships product within 30 days after
acceptance of a customer purchase order and execution of a
license agreement. A substantial portion of quarterly
shipments tend to be made in the last month of the quarter. The
Company does not believe that backlog is indicative of
potential revenue for any future period.
Research and development expense amounted to approximately
$20,496,000, $20,715,000, and $17,526,000 in 1995, 1994, and
1993, respectively.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 1,122 full-time
employees, of whom 227 were engaged in research and
development, 734 in sales and marketing, and 161 in general
management and administration. In addition, the Company
employed 9 part-time employees and cooperative students.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Securities Litigation and Related Matters
Except for the following matters, SDRC is not a party to
any litigation other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to its business. Beginning in September 1994 a
total of 12 class action lawsuits alleging various violations
of the federal securities laws and two derivative lawsuits
alleging breaches of Ohio corporate law were filed against SDRC
following SDRC's public disclosure of certain accounting
irregularities. All of the complaints sought unspecified
damages. The class action cases were consolidated into one case
entitled In Re: Structural Dynamics Research Corporation
Securities Litigation, United States District Court, Southern
District of Ohio, Consolidated Master File No. C-1-94-630 (the
"Class Action Case"). Subsequently, the two derivative cases
were consolidated into one case entitled In Re: Structural
Dynamics Research Corporation Derivative Litigation, United
States District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Consolidated
Master File No. C-1-94-650 (the "Derivative Case").
The Class Action Case represents a direct claim against
SDRC by certain named plaintiffs acting on behalf of a class of
plaintiffs consisting of certain purchasers of SDRC's common
stock between February 3, 1992 and September 14, 1994. In
December 1995, SDRC and plaintiffs' counsel in the Class Action
Case entered into a Memorandum of Understanding setting forth
the terms of a proposed settlement of this case. Pursuant to
the proposed settlement, SDRC will establish a settlement fund
of $27 million consisting of $17 million cash and $10 million
in shares of SDRC common stock (to be valued based on market
prices at the time of distribution). The settlement is subject
to final approval of the United States District Court which has
not yet been obtained.
The Derivative Case remains pending. The legal theory of
derivative litigation is that the named plaintiffs, who are
shareholders of the corporation, are pursuing claims on behalf
of the corporation against third parties whose actions have
injured the corporation but against whom the corporation has
refused to take independent action. In such litigation the
corporation is considered a "nominal" defendant. In the
Derivative Case, SDRC is therefore a "nominal" defendant. The
"real" defendants consist of various former officers and
employees of SDRC and certain of its directors. Since the
plaintiffs are theoretically acting on behalf of SDRC, any
recovery in this matter would be for the benefit of SDRC.
However, SDRC could nevertheless face exposure to liability
through the legal obligation, which could be applicable under
certain circumstances, to indemnify and hold harmless certain
of the defendants against whom a judgment might be rendered.
Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome
of this matter, SDRC management does not believe it will have a
material impact on the financial condition of SDRC.
Based on the same facts which gave rise to the Class Action
Case and the Derivative Case, the Commission commenced a
formal, private investigation of SDRC in September 1994 which
remains pending. SDRC is fully cooperating with this
investigation but cannot predict its outcome.
During 1994 and 1995 SDRC carried $5 million of primary
directors and officers liability insurance coverage from the
Federal Insurance Company plus "excess liability coverage" from
Agricultural Excess and Surplus Insurance Company ("AESIC"),
which provides $3 million of such coverage, and from Old
Republic Insurance Company ("Old Republic"), which provides an
additional $2 million of such coverage. The directors and
officers liability insurance, both primary and excess, is
potentially available with respect to the Class Action Case and
the Derivative Case because certain of SDRC's directors and
former officers are personal defendants in those matters.
Coverage under the excess policies is dependent upon first
exhausting the primary coverage. SDRC has come to an
understanding with the primary insurer with respect to its
coverage, but the excess carriers have to date denied coverage.
On October 11, 1995, SDRC and certain officers and directors
named in the Class Action Case and/or the Derivative Case filed
a declaratory judgment action against the excess carriers in a
case entitled Structural Dynamics Research Corporation, et al.
v. Agricultural Excess and Surplus Insurance Company, et al.,
Clermont County Court of Common Pleas, Case No. 95-
CV-9697. The action alleges that neither AESIC nor Old
Republic is entitled to rescind
Securities Litigation and Related Matters (continued)
its policy or exclude any of the named plaintiffs from coverage
with respect to claims in the Class Action Case or the
Derivative case. AESIC and Old Republic each responded and
have taken the position that they are entitled to rescission
and that all claims are excluded under the terms of the policy.
While SDRC intends to vigorously pursue this case, there can be
no assurance as to its ultimate outcome.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Structural Dynamics Research Corporation
(in thousands)
The Company operates in a single industry segment providing
mechanical design automation (MDA) software, product data
management (PDM) software and related services. The Company's
MDA product, I-DEAS Master Series, is a world-class, integrated
CAD/CAM/CAE product which allows manufacturers to optimize
product performance and reduct cost, while streamlining the
product development process from concept through manufacturing.
This total approach to product and process engineering enables
significant improvements in quality, while reducing overall
development time and cost. Metaphase Series 2 software, SDRC's
PDM product, provides a comprehensive approach to the management
and control of product information and configuration, release
management and work flow.
Revenue
Consolidated revenue, including licenses and services, for 1995
rose to $204,084 compared with 1994 revenue of $167,547 and 1993
revenue of $147,605. This represents increases of 22% in 1995
and 14% in 1994. The growth is due to an increase in the
Company's installed software base and the associated increase in
maintenance, software services and training revenue. In 1995,
the Company merged its software products marketing and
engineering services subsidiaries.
Software License Revenue. Software license revenue for 1995
increased to $117,573 compared to 1994 revenue of $103,317 and
1993 revenue of $86,754. These amounts represent an increase of
14% in 1995 and 19% in 1994 which is attributed to the
enthusiastic market acceptance of the I-DEAS Master Series
product enhancements and increased demand for the PDM product.
In 1995, PDM license revenue increased 54% over 1994. Also in
1995, the Company purchased the minority interest in SDRC GmbH.
As of the acquisition date, license revenue generated by SDRC
GmbH was included in the consolidated financial statements.
Software Maintenance and Services Revenue. Software maintenance
and services revenue is derived from software maintenance
contracts, software services and training. Combined software
maintenance and services revenue increased to $86,511 in 1995 or
35% over 1994 and to $64,230 in 1994 or 6% over 1993. This
revenue represents 42%, 38% and 41% of consolidated net revenue
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Software maintenance
growth is due to revenue generated from maintenance contracts for
both new and existing customers. Software services growth in
1995 over 1994 is primarily attributable to the increased level
of I-DEAS and Metaphase Series 2 implementation and integration
projects. In addition, the Company's software services revenue
was impacted in 1995 by a large contract from one of its major
automotive customers and a renewal of a services contract from
one of its major aerospace customers. In 1994, engineering
consulting revenue did not increase over 1993 due to downsizing
portions of the consulting business not considered synergistic
with the software segment. The Company expects that the software
maintenance and services revenue will continue to increase.
Geographic. Total revenue from international operations
accounted for 56%, 57% and 61% of consolidated net revenue in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company expects the
international market to continue to account for a significant
portion of total revenue.
Cost and Expenses
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists principally of the
staff and related costs associated with the generation and
support of software service revenue, amortization of capitalized
software construction costs, royalty fees paid to third parties
under licensing agreements and the cost of distributing software
products.
These expenses increased to $63,073 in 1995 from $48,785 in 1994
and $46,937 in 1993. As a percentage of revenue, these costs
were 31%, 29% and 32% of net consolidated revenue for 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. In 1994, cost of revenue as a percent of
total revenue decreased primarily because staff and related costs
increased at a slower rate than revenue. The Company expects
that cost of revenue will continue to increase due to variable
costs associated with license and related services revenue
growth.
Research and Development Expenses. The Company continues to
invest significant amounts in the technological advancement of
its product line. Research and development expenses amounted to
$20,496, $20,715 and $17,526 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. These amounts represent 10%, 12% and 12% of net
revenue for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In 1995,
research and development expenses as a percent of total revenue
decreased because of a reduction in staff and related staff costs
which occurred in the fourth quarter of 1994 and first quarter of
1995. The Company expects that the research and development
costs will increase due to the acceleration of the development of
its I-DEAS Master Series software and other product initiatives.
Research and development expenses consist of expenses for
development of software products which cannot be capitalized in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to
be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Research and development
expenses exclude internally developed capitalized software costs
of $6,928, $9,312 and $11,282 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. These capitalized amounts represent 34%, 45% and
64% of research and development expenses in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The percentage of capitalized costs to total
research and development expenses has declined over the three-
year period because the product development staff is using a more
effective development process. With this process, more time is
spent in the phases before coding begins to refine the
requirements and approach, reducing the amount of software
development costs that are capitalizable. Capitalized computer
software costs are amortized over the useful lives of the related
products, which are estimated to be no more than five years.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses
consist of the costs associated with the world wide sales and
marketing staff, advertising and product localization. These
expenses amounted to $87,049, $89,628 and $80,906 in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. These amounts represent 43%, 53% and 55%
of net consolidated revenue for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The selling and marketing expense decrease in
1995 from 1994 is due to a reduction in staff and related staff
costs partially offset by an increase in sales incentives for
both the direct and indirect channels. The Company expects to
continue to expand its sales organization to meet the growing
customer demand for its products and services.
Throughout 1994 and 1993, the Company incurred significant
expenses from increased headcount in the sales and technical
support organizations to promote direct sales and support new and
existing customers. The primary focus was to assist the
Company's customers in their transitioning efforts to the I-DEAS
Master Series product introduced in June 1993. The Company
anticipated higher revenue growth to offset the incremental
headcount costs from sales and support activities. In the fourth
quarter of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, the Company
initiated a plan to cut costs and strengthen its competitive
position by reducing its workforce.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses consist of costs associated with the corporate, finance,
human resource and administrative staffs. General and
administrative expenses amounted to $11,263, $10,379 and $9,455
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These amounts represent 6%
of net consolidated revenue for each of these years.
Equity in Losses of Affiliates
During 1992, the Company and Control Data Systems, Inc. formed a
joint venture known as Metaphase Technology, Inc. (Metaphase).
Metaphase is involved in developing and marketing product data
management software. The Company pays royalty fees to Metaphase
based upon the amount of PDM sales.
During 1994, the Company formed a joint venture with Siemens
Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG (SNI), SDRC Software and Services,
GmbH (SDRC GmbH) to market the Company's software products in
Central Europe. The Company's equity in the losses of affiliates
represents its share of Metaphase and SDRC GmbH joint venture
losses, the majority of which resulted from the SDRC GmbH joint
venture.
In 1995, the Company purchased the minority interest in SDRC GmbH
at its net book value. As of the acquisition date, 100% of the
operating results of SDRC GmbH were included in the consolidated
financial statements. The balance sheet impact increased assets
by approximately $8,928, decreased long-term liabilities by
$4,737, and increased current liabilities approximately $13,665.
The increase in assets represented primarily cash and accounts
receivable. The reduction in long-term liabilities represented
the reversal of the cumulative losses offset by the recording of
long-term liability of $1,927 due to SNI under a limited set of
circumstances as described in the agreement between SNI and SDRC.
The increase in current liabilities represented primarily
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.
Acquisition of CAMAX Manufacturing Technologies, Inc.
On January 16, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire CAMAX Manufacturing Technologies, Inc.
(CAMAX) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. CAMAX provides
computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software for computerized-
numerical-control machining operations, with products and
services designed to simplify, automate and optimize the
machining process to streamline production and accelerate time-to-
market.
SDRC will issue common stock having a market value of $30,000 in
exchange for 100 percent ownership of CAMAX common stock. The
acquisition is expected to be accounted for under the pooling of
interests method. Completion of the transaction is subject to
receipt of customary governmental approvals and CAMAX
shareholders' approval.
Litigation Settlement
In December 1995, the Company and plaintiffs' counsel in a class
action lawsuit entered into a Memorandum of Understanding setting
forth the terms of a proposed settlement. Pursuant to the
proposed settlement, the Company will establish a settlement fund
of $27,600 consisting of $17,600 cash and $10,000 in the form of
shares of the Company's common stock. The anticipated cost of
the settlement net of estimated insurance proceeds was recorded
as a 1995 expense. In January 1996, $17,600 was transferred to a
settlement fund in accordance with the Memorandum of
Understanding.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, consists principally of interest income and
foreign currency losses. For the three-year period ending
December 31, 1995, interest income increased due to interest for
income tax refunds received in 1994 and 1995, higher investment
balances in 1995 and increasing interest rates throughout the
period. In 1995, other income, net, is offset by a net loss of
$1,878 resulting from the sale of the United Kingdom test and
analysis division.
Income Taxes
During 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded tax expense of $6,550
and $3,833 on pretax losses of $1,917 and $5,168, respectively.
Although the Company incurred losses in 1995 and 1994, there were
provisions for income taxes in both years consisting primarily of
income taxes currently payable to foreign jurisdictions and
foreign withholding taxes incurred on the Company's software
licensing revenue. These withholding taxes can be credited
against the Company's U.S. income tax liability. The Company is
not currently in a position to utilize all of these foreign tax
credits (FTCs). The FTCs and other tax carryforwards are
available to offset future U.S. income tax liabilities, subject
to various restrictions. No tax benefit was currently recognized
for the excess FTCs and other tax carryforwards since it is more
likely than not that they will not be realized.
In 1994, the Company received a tax refund of $1,754 for research
and experimentation credits not previously recorded.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had $78,167 in cash, cash
equivalents and liquid investments. The Company's working
capital was $35,695 and the Company had no borrowings. The
Company also has an unsecured bank line of credit of $15,000.
During 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Company generated cash flows from
operations of $31,343, $6,018 and $18,955, respectively. The
increase in net cash provided by operations was primarily due to
the increase in operating income and the increase in deferred
revenue, net of the accounts receivable increase.
The Company used $6,477, $20,053 and $19,699 during 1995, 1994
and 1993 for investing activities. The reduction in investing
activities from 1994 to 1995 was primarily due to reduction in
investments as defined in SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The investment
balances were converted into cash and cash equivalents. The
acquisition of the remaining minority interest in SDRC GmbH also
resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$1,152. Net cash used in investing activities in each of the
years also includes the additions to computer software
construction costs and property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12,646, $1,108 and
$3,906 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, representing
proceeds from the Company's stock option programs.
The Company's sources of liquidity and funds anticipated to be
generated from operations are expected to be adequate for the
Company's cash requirements in the foreseeable future. The
Company paid no dividends during the period 1993 through 1995 and
intends to continue its policy of retaining earnings to finance
future growth. The Company has no current commitments for
material capital expenditures. See Note 10 to the consolidated
financial statements for additional commitments and
contingencies. The Company does not expect inflation to have a
material impact on its future operations.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which is required to be adopted
by 1996. The implementation of this Statement will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
The provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" will be effective for the Company in 1996. This
recent standard requires that stock-based compensation either
continue to be determined under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APB) No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
or in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 whereby
compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of
stock-based awards on the grant date. The Company currently
expects to continue to account for such awards under the
provisions of APB No. 25. Although SFAS No. 123 will require
additional disclosures beginning in 1996, management believes the
impact of SFAS No. 123 will not be material to the Company's
financial statements.
Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Structural Dynamics Research Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and
the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows
and of shareholders' equity present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Structural Dynamics Research
Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
in 1994 the Company changed its method of accounting for
postemployment benefits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Structural Dynamics Research Corporation
(in thousands, except per share data)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in which
the Company has significant influence, but not control, are
accounted for under the equity method. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(b) Revenue Recognition
The use of software programs is licensed through the Company's
direct sales force and by specific arrangements with certain
distributors, value-added resellers and other marketing
representatives. Revenue generated from licenses is recognized
when the following criteria have been met: (a) a written order
for the unconditional license of software has been received, (b)
the Company has delivered the products and performed
substantially all services for which it was committed, (c) the
customer is obligated to pay and (d) collectibility is probable.
Under the terms of a former licensing agreement with an OEM
customer, the Company was unable to determine the amount of
revenue earned until cash was received from the customer.
Amounts recorded as revenue on the cash basis were $5,877 and
$7,877 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. This licensing agreement
was terminated by the Company in 1994.
Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the
agreement and represents the substantial component of deferred
revenue. Training revenue is recognized as the services are
performed.
(c) Per Share Data
Income (loss) per common and common equivalent share is computed
using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common
equivalent shares consist of stock option grants using the
treasury stock method.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers investments in interest bearing accounts,
certificates of deposit, commercial paper and reverse repurchase
agreements with original maturities of less than 90 days to be
cash equivalents.
The Company also has an unsecured bank line of credit of $15,000.
(e) Investments
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" which requires
the Company to distinguish between those securities held for sale
and those for which the ability and intent to hold to maturity
exists. Unrealized gains and losses on assets held for sale are
included in a separate component of equity. The effect of
adopting SFAS No. 115 was not material.
The Company invests in government agency obligations which are
available-for-sale and are recorded at market value. The Company
also invests in certificates of deposit which are held-to-
maturity and are recorded at amortized cost which approximates
market value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are
determined based on the specific identification method.
(f) Property and Equipment
Depreciation is primarily computed on the straight-line method.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method
over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful
life of the improvement. The general ranges of years used in
calculating depreciation and amortization are: computer and other
equipment, 2-5 years; office furniture and equipment, 7
years; leasehold improvements, 1-10 years.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which is required to be adopted
by 1996. The implementation of this Statement will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
(g) Computer Software Construction Costs
The Company designs, develops and markets computer software
products. Costs related to the construction of software that are
incurred after the technological feasibility of the product has
been demonstrated are capitalized and are amortized over the
useful lives of such software, which are estimated to be no more
than five years. Computer software construction costs are shown
net of accumulated amortization of $20,048 and $11,573 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As of December 31,
1995 and 1994, computer software construction costs, net, include
only those costs related to current software products.
Amortization is calculated on a product by product basis and is
the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that
current gross revenue bears to the total of current and
anticipated future years' revenue, or (b) the straight-line
method over the remaining estimated economic lives of the
software products. The Company included in amortization expense
approximately $3,311 for the year ended December 31, 1993 related
to software construction costs determined to be non-recoverable.
(h) Foreign Currency Translation and Hedging Contracts
For foreign software operations, the U.S. dollar is the
functional currency and foreign currency gains and losses, which
are not material, are included in determining net income. Prior
to the sale of the UK test and analysis division in 1995, the
functional currency was the division's local currency and its
assets and liabilities were translated at period-end exchange
rates. Revenue, expenses, gains and losses were translated at a
weighted average rate of exchange. Translation gains and losses
were not included in determining net income but were
accumulated in a separate component of shareholders' equity.
With the sale of the UK test and analysis division, the
accumulated foreign currency translation loss of $590 was
realized and included in the determination of income for 1995.
In 1993 the Company began hedging certain portions of its
exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily the
financial instruments of the Company's European subsidiaries, by
utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts. At December 31,
1995, the Company had contracts to exchange foreign currencies
totaling $6,250 which matured in January 1996. Gains and losses
associated with these financial instruments are recorded
currently in income to offset the foreign exchange gains and
losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. The interest
element of the foreign currency instruments is recognized over
the life of the contract. Should the counterparty to these
contracts fail to meet its obligations, the Company would be
exposed to foreign currency fluctuations, along with the cost, if
any, to extinguish the contracts.
(i) Income Taxes
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes",
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Based on the Company's
historical tax position and estimates of taxable income for the
next four years, a valuation allowance is provided against
deferred tax assets when the Company believes it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company does not accrue Federal income taxes on undistributed
earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that (1) have been, or are
intended to be, permanently reinvested or (2) if remitted, would
not have material income tax consequences. Undistributed earnings
amounted to approximately $4,331 at December 31, 1995.
(j) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's revenue is generated from customers in diversified
industries, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
The Company generated revenue from a significant customer
aggregating 14%, 11% and 11% in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers and generally does not require collateral. The
Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses which
management believes to be adequate in the circumstances.
The Company invests its excess cash with major financial
institutions with strong credit ratings and, by policy, limits
the amount of credit exposure in any one such institution.
(k) Use of Estimates
The financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, require management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. In particular,
management has utilized estimates based on the facts and
circumstances existing at the date of the financial statements
which are sensitive to change in the near term. The significant
estimates include the estimated useful lives of computer software
construction costs, the likelihood of realization of the deferred
tax assets and litigation exposures.
(l) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, investments,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and
forward foreign exchange contracts approximate fair value.
(m) Postemployment Benefits
As of January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."
This statement requires that entities providing postemployment
benefits to their employees accrue the cost of benefits, if
attributable to employees' service already rendered. The Company
provides severance benefits for involuntarily terminated
employees. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 112
reduced income by $3,896, net of zero tax benefit, in the first
quarter of 1994.
(n) Stock-Based Compensation
The provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" will be effective for the Company in 1996. This
recent standard requires that stock-based compensation either
continue to be determined under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APB) No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
or in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 whereby
compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of
stock-based awards on the grant date. The Company currently
expects to continue to account for such awards under the
provisions of APB No. 25. Although SFAS No. 123 will require
additional disclosures beginning in 1996, management believes the
impact of SFAS No. 123 will not be material to the Company's
financial statements.
(o) Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 1993 and 1994
financial statements to conform with the current year
presentation. During 1995, the Company re-evaluated
classifications of certain expense categories and, based on its
current organizational structure, determined that certain
operating expenses were more appropriately classified as cost of
revenue. The Company has reflected the reclassifications in all
periods presented.
(2) Acquisition of CAMAX Manufacturing Technologies, Inc.
On January 16, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire CAMAX Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. (CAMAX)
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. CAMAX provides computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM) software for computerized-numerical-control
machining operations, with products and services designed to
simplify, automate and optimize the machining process to streamline
production and accelerate time-to-market.
SDRC will issue common stock having a market value of $30,000 in
exchange for 100 percent ownership of CAMAX common stock. The
total number of SDRC shares of common stock to be issued will be
determined based on the market price for a twenty-day period
preceding the close of the transaction.
The acquisition is expected to be accounted for under the pooling
of interests method. Completion of the transaction is subject to
receipt of customary governmental approvals and CAMAX shareholders'
approval.
Condensed combined proforma data (unaudited) is based on the
respective consolidated historical financial statements of SDRC and
CAMAX adjusted to give effect to the transaction as though it had
occurred as of January 1, 1993.

expire in the years 2006 through 2010, and $1,251 of alternative
minimum taxes never expire.
The net change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
was an increase of $12,458 in 1995 and $4,909 in 1994. Of the
$31,995 in valuation allowance at December 31, 1995, $11,070 is
attributable to the tax benefit of stock option exercises. Such
benefits will be credited to capital in excess of stated value
when realized.
(6) Joint Venture Investments
In 1992 the Company and Control Data Systems, Inc. established a
joint venture company, Metaphase Technology, Inc. (Metaphase), to
develop and market product data management software worldwide.
The Company initially owned a 30% interest in Metaphase and
increased such interest to 50% during 1993. The Company's
investment in the joint venture is accounted for on the equity
basis.
In March 1994, the Company formed a joint venture with Siemens
Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG (SNI). The Company and SNI
contributed certain assets to the venture, SDRC Software and
Services GmbH (SDRC GmbH), along with the rights to certain
software products owned by SNI and made loans to the venture.
Although the Company received a 50.1% interest in the venture, it
did not exercise sufficient control to account for SDRC GmbH as a
consolidated subsidiary.
(6) Joint Venture Investments - continued
In 1995, the Company purchased the remaining 49.9% interest of
SDRC GmbH. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method. Accordingly, the purchase price of $175 was allocated to
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair
value. As of the acquisition date, 100% of the operating results
of SDRC GmbH are included in the consolidated financial
statements. Proforma results of the purchase are not presented
as the amounts are not material when considered in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements.
Financial data for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1993 for
Metaphase and for the year ended December 31, 1994 for Metaphase
and SDRC GmbH is presented below:

In 1989, the Company and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.establised a Japanese
joint venture company, ESTECH Corporation ("ESTECH") to provide
engineering services in Japan and the Far East. The impact of the ESTECH
results were not material to the Company's results of operations.
(7) Other Income, Net

Other, primarily foreign
currency losses (471) (122) (1,165)

In July 1995, SDRC sold its test and analysis division located in
the United Kingdom to MascoTech Engineering Europe Limited
(MascoTech UK) for net proceeds of $524 and realized a loss on
the sale of $1,878. The loss includes foreign currency losses
and estimated costs pertaining to a lease commitment.
(8) Shareholders' Rights Plan
In 1988 the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholders' Rights
Plan to protect shareholders' interests in the event of an
unsolicited attempt to gain control of the Company. The Rights
become exercisable if a person acquires 20% or more of the
Company's outstanding common stock (Common Stock) or announces a
tender offer which would result in a person or group acquiring
20% or more of the Common Stock (Distribution Date). If, at any
time following the Distribution Date, and the Company has not
redeemed the Rights, the Company becomes the surviving
corporation in a merger or a person becomes the beneficial owner
of 20% or more of the Common Stock (Triggering Date), each holder
of a Right will have the right to purchase shares of Common Stock
having a value equal to two times the Right's exercise price of
$110. If, at any time following the Triggering Date, the Company
is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction
in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, each
holder of a Right shall have the right to purchase shares of
Common Stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two
times the exercise price of the Right. The Rights expire on
August 10, 1998, and may be redeemed by the Company for $.0025
per Right.
(9) Common Stock and Employee Benefit Plans
In 1991 the shareholders adopted the 1991 Employee Stock Option
Plan. Under the 1991 plan, the Company has reserved 5,300 shares
of previously unissued common stock. Options to purchase such
shares may be granted to key employees and executive officers at
the fair market value at the date of grant.
In 1991 the shareholders also adopted the Director's
Non-Discretionary Stock Option Plan which converted the Amended
and Restated 1986 Stock Option Plan into a non-discretionary plan
allowing future grants to outside directors at the fair market
value at the date of grant. Under the original 1986 plan, the
Company had reserved 7,000 shares of previously unissued common
stock. The status of all outstanding options previously granted
to employees remained unchanged.
In 1994 the shareholders adopted the 1994 Long-Term Stock
Incentive Plan, allowing stock incentives including stock
options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, and
combinations thereof, to be granted to employees. The number of
shares with respect to which stock incentives may be granted in
one calendar year shall not exceed 4% of the Company's issued and
outstanding common stock. No stock incentives other than non-
qualified stock options have been granted under the 1994 plan.
Under the plans, employee options expire ten years from the date
of grant and are exercisable as follows: 33% on the first
anniversary of the grant date; an additional 34% on the second
anniversary; and all or any remaining options on the third
anniversary until expiration. Director options expire five years
from the date of grant and are exercisable 50% upon expiration of
six months from the grant date and all or any remaining options
on the first anniversary of the grant date until expiration. As
of December 31, 1995 there were approximately 3,200 shares on
which options were exercisable.
Transactions with respect to the Company's stock options
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995
are as follows:

(9) Common Stock and Employee Benefit Plans - continued
In 1990 the Company's Board of Directors established a Stock
Purchase Plan. Under the plan all domestic full-time employees
who are non-executive officers are entitled to purchase the
Company's common stock at 90% of fair market value. Employees
electing to participate must contribute at least one percent with
a maximum of ten percent of the participants' base salary and
commissions each month. All incidental expenses related to the
issuance of these shares including the 10% discount have been
charged to income. The plan has no fixed expiration date, may be
terminated by the Company at any time and has no limitation on
the number of shares that may be issued.
The Company provides retirement benefits to substantially all
employees principally through defined contribution retirement
plans. The Company's contributions to these plans are primarily
based on compensation and years of service. Expenses related to
these plans totaled $2,982, $2,091 and $943 in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.
(10) Commitments and Contingencies
Except for the following matters, SDRC is not a party to any
litigation other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to
its business. Beginning in September 1994 a total of 12 class
action lawsuits alleging various violations of the federal
securities laws and two derivative lawsuits alleging breaches of
Ohio corporate law were filed against SDRC following SDRC's
public disclosure of certain accounting irregularities. All of
the complaints sought unspecified damages. The class action
cases were consolidated into one case (the "Class Action Case")
filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of
Ohio. Subsequently, the two derivative cases were consolidated
into one case (the "Derivative Case") filed in the United States
District Court, Southern District of Ohio.
The Class Action Case represents a direct claim against SDRC by
certain named plaintiffs acting on behalf of a class of
plaintiffs consisting of certain purchasers of SDRC's common
stock between February 3, 1992 and September 14, 1994. In
December 1995, SDRC and plaintiffs' counsel in the Class Action
Case entered into a Memorandum of Understanding setting forth the
terms of a proposed settlement of this case. Pursuant to the
proposed settlement, SDRC will establish a settlement fund of
$27,600 consisting of $17,600 cash and $10,000 in the form of
shares of SDRC's common stock (to be valued based on market
prices at the time of distribution). The anticipated cost of
the settlement, net of estimated insurance proceeds, was recorded
as a 1995 expense. The settlement is subject to final approval
of the District Court which has not yet been obtained.
The Derivative Case remains pending. The legal theory of
derivative litigation is that the named plaintiffs, who are
shareholders of the corporation, are pursuing claims on behalf of
the corporation against third parties whose actions have injured
the corporation but against whom the corporation has refused to
take independent action. In such litigation the corporation is
considered a "nominal" defendant. In the Derivative Case, SDRC is
therefore a "nominal" defendant. The "real" defendants consist
of various former officers and employees of SDRC and certain of
its directors. Since the plaintiffs are theoretically acting on
behalf of SDRC, any recovery in this matter would be for the
benefit of SDRC. However, SDRC could nevertheless face exposure
to liability through the legal obligation, which could be
applicable under certain circumstances, to indemnify and hold
harmless certain of the defendants against whom a judgment might
be rendered. Although there can be no assurance as to the
ultimate outcome of this matter, management does not believe it
will have a material impact on the Company's financial position.
Based on the same facts which gave rise to the Class Action Case
and the Derivative Case, the Securities and Exchange Commission
commenced a formal, private investigation of SDRC in September
1994 which remains pending. SDRC is fully cooperating with this
investigation but cannot predict its outcome.
(10) Commitments and Contingencies - continued
Pursuant to certain contractual obligations, the Company has
agreed to indemnify its directors and officers under certain
circumstances against claims arising from lawsuits. The Company
may be obligated to indemnify certain of its directors and
officers for the costs they may incur as a result of the
lawsuits.
(11) Segment and Geographic Information
In 1995, the Company reevaluated its industry segment reporting
because of an internal reorganization and the sale of the
Company's UK test and analysis division (see Note 7). The
Company determined that it operates in a single industry segment
providing mechanical design automation software and related
services to manufacturers for the design, analysis, testing and
manufacturing of mechanical products. SDRC also supplies product
data management systems providing a comprehensive approach to the
management and control of engineering information.
