NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 3, 2010

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Presstek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Presstek,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly Presstek’s financial position as of April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, its results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009 and its cash flows for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

The results of the three months ended April 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 1, 2011. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 24, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Company operates and reports on a 52- or 53-week, fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the thirteen week periods ended April 3, 2010 (the “first quarter and first three months of fiscal 2010” or the “three months ended April 3, 2010”) and April 4, 2009 (the “first quarter and first three months of fiscal 2009” or the “three months ended April 4, 2009”).

Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns; warranty obligations; allowances for doubtful accounts; slow-moving and obsolete inventories; income taxes; intangible assets, long-lived assets and deferred tax assets; stock-based compensation and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, which was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2010. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended April 3, 2010.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company accounts for its discontinued operations under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360. Accordingly, results of operations and the related charges for discontinued operations have been classified as “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been reclassified and reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets of discontinued operations” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations”. For comparative purposes, all prior periods presented have been reclassified on a consistent basis.

Lasertel

On March 5, 2010, Presstek sold Lasertel to SELEX Galileo Inc. (“SELEX”). The sale of Lasertel to SELEX was for approximately $8 million in cash, certain net working capital adjustments that still need to be finalized and, in addition, Presstek was able to retain approximately $2 million of laser diodes inventory for Presstek’s future production requirements. Lasertel, as a subsidiary of SELEX, and in accordance with a supply agreement established between Lasertel and Presstek on March 5, 2010, will manufacture semiconductor laser diodes for Presstek for an initial period of three years. The net cash proceeds from this sale were used to pay down debt. SELEX also assumed the current lease on the Lasertel property in Tucson, Arizona.

Lasertel incurred an operating loss of $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 prior to the sale date. Presstek recorded a gain on the disposition of Lasertel of $0.5 million, bringing the aggregate loss from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2010 to $0.1 million.

6. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The components of the Company’s outstanding borrowings at April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010 are as follows (in thousands):

	April 3, 2010		January 2, 2010

Line of credit	$	8,849	$	17,910

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as Lender and as administrative agent for Lenders (PNC, in such agency capacity, the “Agent”).

The Credit Agreement replaces the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2004, as amended, among the Company and RBS Citizens, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Lender, KeyBank National Association and TD Bank, N.A.

The new Credit Agreement, maturing in three years from the date of the Credit Agreement, provides for funding of up to $25.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Revolver is determined on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Company may terminate the Credit Agreement at any time prior to the maturity date upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and upon payment in full of all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement. If the Company terminates the Credit Agreement within the first 35 months after the date on which the Credit Agreement is entered into, the Company must pay an early termination fee as specified in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay a portion of borrowings under the Credit Agreement out of the proceeds of certain dispositions of property.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate. The Revolving Interest Rate is defined in the Credit Agreement as an interest rate per annum equal to (i) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two and one half percent (2.50%) with respect to domestic rate loans and (ii) the sum of three and one-half percent (3.50%) plus the greater of (a) the Eurodollar rate, and (b) one percent (1.0%) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, as applicable. The Alternate Base Rate is defined as a rate per annum, for any day, equal to the higher of (i) PNC’s published reference rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Open rate in effect on such day plus one half of one percent (0.50%) and (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate in effect on such day plus one percent (1.0%). The Credit Agreement requires monthly interest payments with respect to domestic rate loans and at the end of each interest period with respect to Eurodollar rate loans.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that guaranty the obligations of the Company, including all receivables, equipment, general intangibles, inventory, investment property, subsidiary stock, owned real property and leasehold interests of the Company.

At April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the Company had outstanding balances on its lines of credit of $8.8 million and $17.9 million, respectively, with interest rates of 4.8% and 7.25%, respectively. The amounts available under the credit lines at April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010 were $3.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants. Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt and make acquisitions and divestitures, with certain exceptions. The key financial covenants include a requirement for the Company to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending January 1, 2011, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 and a limit on capital expenditures of $385,000 for the remainder of the Company’s first fiscal quarter in 2010, $1,238,000, $1,139,000 and $614,000 for the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of the Company for the remainder of 2010, respectively, and $4,000,000 in each fiscal year thereafter.

The Company has equity incentive plans that are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Committee oversees and approves which employees receive grants, the number of shares or options granted and the exercise prices and other terms of the awards.

2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 11, 2008, provides for the award of stock options, stock issuances and other equity interests in the Company to employees, officers, directors (including non-employee directors), consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, have been reserved under this plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) is designed to provide eligible employees of the Company and its participating U.S. subsidiaries an opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions. The purchase price of the stock is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first day or last day of each three-month offering period, whichever is lower. All employees of the Company or participating subsidiaries who customarily work at least 20 hours per week and do not own five percent or more of the Company’s common stock are eligible to participate in the ESPP. A total of 950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment, have been reserved for issuance under this plan. The Company issued 20,983 shares of common stock under its ESPP for the three months ended April 3, 2010.

Valuation Assumptions

ESPP

The fair value of the rights to purchase shares of common stock under the Company’s ESPP was estimated on the commencement date of the offering period using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	Three months ended
	April 3, 2010			April 4, 2009

Risk-free interest rate		0.15	%		0.00	%
Volatility		72.45	%		162.48	%
Expected life (in years)		0.25			0.25
Dividend yield		--			--

Based on the above assumptions, the weighted average fair values of each stock purchase right under the Company’s ESPP for the first three months of 2010 and 2009 was $0.53 and $0.89, respectively.

Plan Options

The fair value of the options to purchase common stock granted in the first three months of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 were under the 2008 Plan and was estimated on the respective grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	Three months ended
	April 3, 2010			April 4, 2009

Risk-free interest rate		2.61	%		2.46	%
Volatility		76.4	%		68.48	%
Expected life (in years)		5.83			5.67
Dividend yield		--			--

Based on the above assumptions, the weighted average fair value of each option to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock granted in the first three months of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 under the 2008 Plan was $1.66 and $2.02, respectively.

Restricted Stock Award

There were no restricted stock grants in the first three months of fiscal 2010 and 2009.

Non-Plan Stock Options

There were no non-plan options granted in the first three months of fiscal 2010 and 2009.

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of Presstek’s common stock. The expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules, the Company’s historical exercise patterns and the ESPP purchase period. The risk-free rate is based on a U.S. Treasury securities rate for the period corresponding to the expected life of the options or ESPP purchase period.

Included in interest expense is the amortization of loan origination costs incurred in connection with the establishment of our new credit facility. The costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the three year period of the credit agreement.

13. INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.

The Company’s tax benefit was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, respectively, on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the respective periods. The tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three month period ended April 3, 2010 primarily relates to net operating losses incurred by the Company’s European subsidiaries that are expected to be utilized in future periods.

The Company reviews the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets each reporting period to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. Consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets.

In analyzing the available evidence, management evaluated historical financial performance, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and reversals of temporary differences. The Company’s evaluation is based on current tax laws. Changes in existing laws and future results that differ from expectations may result in significant changes to the deferred tax assets valuation allowance.

At April 3, 2010, our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, amounted to $1.6 million which is associated with the Company’s European and Canadian entities.

Expenses incurred for services from this law firm were $22,000 (including $5,000 of pass-through expenses), and $0.4 million (including $0.2 million of pass-through expenses) for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, respectively.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments & Contingencies

The Company has change of control agreements with certain of its senior management employees that provide them with benefits should their employment with the Company be terminated other than for cause, as a result of disability or death, or if they resign for good reason, as defined in these agreements, within a certain period of time from the date of any change of control of the Company.

From time to time the Company has engaged in sales of equipment that is leased by or intended to be leased by a third party purchaser to another party. In certain situations, the Company may retain recourse obligations to a financing institution involved in providing financing to the ultimate lessee in the event the lessee of the equipment defaults on its lease obligations. In certain such instances, the Company may refurbish and remarket the equipment on behalf of the financing company, should the ultimate lessee default on payment of the lease. In certain circumstances, should the resale price of such equipment fall below certain predetermined levels, the Company would, under these arrangements, reimburse the financing company for any such shortfall in sale price (a “shortfall payment”). Generally, the Company’s liability for these recourse agreements is limited to 9.5% or less of the amount outstanding. The maximum amount for which the Company may be liable to the financial institution for the shortfall payment was approximately $1.2 million at April 3, 2010.

Litigation

On February 4, 2008, the Company received from the SEC a formal order of investigation relating to the previously disclosed SEC inquiry regarding the Company's announcement of preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC's investigation. On July 22, 2009 the Company received a “Wells” Notice from the staff of the SEC informing the Company that the staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against the Company alleging that the Company violated Section 10(b) and 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b-5 and regulation Fair Disclosure thereunder. The SEC staff also informed the Company that in connection with the contemplated charges, the staff may seek a permanent injunction and civil penalties. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company accrued the amount of $400,000 for a potential civil penalty, which the Company has determined to be the probable amount of penalties based upon discussions with the SEC staff. On March 9, 2010 the Company announced that it had reached a settlement of the SEC investigation and agreed to pay a civil penalty of $400,000. The settlement is subject to U.S. District Court approval.

On September 10, 2008 a purported shareholder derivative claim against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty by the defendants and seeks unspecified damages. On September 25, 2008 the parties reached agreement on a settlement of the claim, subject to documentation and receipt of court approval. On January 21, 2010, the Court approved the settlement and dismissed the case.

In February 2008 we filed a complaint with the ITC against VIM and its manufacturing partner Hanita Coatings for infringement of Presstek’s patent and trademark rights. Presstek also sued four U.S. based distributors of VIM products: Spicers Paper, Inc., Guaranteed Service & Supplies, Inc., Ohio Graphco Inc., and Recognition Systems Inc., as well as one Canadian based distributor, AteCe Canada. The Company has settled with Ohio Graphco Inc., which has agreed to cease the importation, use and sale of VIM plates and also agreed to cooperate with the ITC in its investigation of VIM’s alleged patent infringement. Presstek sought, among other things, an order from the ITC forbidding the importation and sale of the VIM printing plates in the United States; such an order would be enforced at all U.S. borders by the U.S. Customs Service. On November 30, 2009 the ITC determined that VIM infringed Presstek’s valid and enforceable patents and ordered that the importation of the infringing VIM products into the United States be banned. The ITC order took effect on January 30, 2010 following a required 60-day Presidential review period.

Presstek is a party to other litigation that it considers routine and incidental to its business however it does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operation or financial condition.

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

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described below in the section entitled “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in “Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2010.

Overview of the Company

The Company is a provider of high-technology, digital-based printing solutions to the commercial print segment of the graphics communications industry. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes proprietary and non-proprietary solutions aimed at serving the needs of a wide range of print service providers worldwide. Our proprietary digital imaging and advanced technology consumables offer superior business solutions for commercial printing focusing on the growing need for short-run, high quality color applications. We are helping to lead the industry’s transformation from analog print production methods to digital imaging technology. We are a leader in the development of advanced printing systems using digital imaging equipment, workflow and consumables-based solutions that economically benefit the user through streamlined operations and chemistry-free, environmentally responsible solutions. We are also a leading sales and service channel across a broadly served market in the small to mid-sized commercial, quick and in-plant printing segments.

Presstek’s business model is a capital equipment and consumables model. In this model, approximately two-thirds (on average) of our revenue is recurring revenue. Our model is designed so that each placement of either a DI® press or a CTP system generally results in recurring aftermarket revenue for consumables and service. We also provide consumables for use on equipment purchased by end users from other manufacturers and suppliers.

Commencing with the second quarter of the fiscal year to end January 1, 2011 (“fiscal 2010”), the Company’s reports filed with the SEC will reflect that the Company conducts business in one industry segment as a result of its sale of Lasertel on March 5, 2010. Prior to March 5, 2010, we conducted business in two segments as reflected in

- 20 -

this report: (i) Presstek and (ii) Lasertel. Segment operating results are based on the current organizational structure as reviewed by our management to evaluate the results of each business. A description of the types of products and services provided by each business segment follows.

Presstek is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, sale, distribution, and servicing of our business solutions using patented digital imaging systems and patented printing plate technologies. We also provide traditional, analog systems and related equipment and supplies for the graphic arts and printing industries.

·	Lasertel manufactures and develops high-powered laser diodes and related laser products for Presstek and for sale to external customers.

On September 24, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Lasertel subsidiary; as such the Company has presented the results of operations of this subsidiary within discontinued operations.

Through our Presstek segment we generate revenue through three main sources: (i) the sale of our equipment and related workflow software, including DI® presses and CTP devices, (ii) the sale of our proprietary and non-proprietary consumables and supplies; and (iii) the servicing of offset printing systems and analog and CTP systems and related equipment. Prior to its sale on March 5, 2010, our Lasertel segment generated revenue through the sale of high-powered laser diodes for the graphic arts, defense and industrial sectors.

Strategy

Our business strategy is centered on maximizing the sale of consumable products, such as printing plates, and therefore our business efforts focus on the sale of “consumable burning engines” such as our DI® presses and CTP devices, as well as the servicing of customers using our business solutions. Our strategy centers on increasing the number of our DI® and CTP units, which increases the demand for our consumables.

General

We operate and report on a 52- or 53-week, fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the thirteen week periods ended April 3, 2010 (the “first quarter and first three months of fiscal 2010” or “the three months ended April 3, 2010”) and April 4, 2009 (the “first quarter and first three months of fiscal 2009” or “the three months ended April 4, 2009”).

We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.

Three months ended April 3, 2010 compared to three months ended April 4, 2009

Revenue

Consolidated revenues were $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, the same level that was achieved in the 2009 first quarter. The flat revenue level was caused by increases in equipment sales, “growth” DI plates and thermal CTP plates and favorable exchange impacts; offset by year-on-year declines in “traditional” consumables and service revenues.

Equipment revenues increased by 28.2% to $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $5.0 million in the prior year first quarter. During the past two years equipment sales have been significantly impacted by the deterioration of the economy. However, we are starting to see signs of recovery in the graphics capital equipment market over the past two quarters. Gross revenue of “growth” portfolio DI presses and peripherals increased to $4.8 million in the current year first quarter from $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. Gross revenue of our remaining “growth” portfolio of equipment, Dimension Excel, Dimension Pro, Compass, and Vector platesetters, declined from $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $0.9 million in the current year quarter. Equipment sales of our “traditional” line of products, defined as QMDI presses, polyester CTP platesetters, and conventional equipment, were also lower in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 first quarter due to the on-going transition of our customer base from analog to digital technologies. Gross revenues from our “traditional” line of equipment products declined from $1.1 million in the 2009 first quarter to $1.0 million in the current year’s quarter. As a percentage of gross equipment revenue, sales of “growth” portfolio products increased to 84.8% of revenue in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 from 79.1% in the first fiscal quarter of 2009.

Consumables product revenues declined from $21.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $21.5 million in the current year quarter due primarily to the increases in our “growth” plate portfolio being more than offset by lower sales of our “traditional” portfolio of consumables. Sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of consumables, defined as 52DI, 34DI, and thermal CTP plates, increased to $8.0 million in the current quarter from $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. Overall sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of DI plates increased to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $4.0 million in the prior year. Sales of thermal CTP plates increased by 10% in the 2010 first quarter from $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2009. Sales of Presstek’s “traditional” plate products, consisting of QMDI, other DI, and polyester plates, declined from $8.2 million in first quarter 2009 to $7.8 million in the current year’s quarter, while sales of other “traditional” consumables products declined from $6.3 million to $5.6 million in the quarter.

Service and parts revenues were $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 reflecting a decrease of $1.0 million, or 13%, from the prior year. The decrease is due primarily to the impacts on service of the overall decrease in equipment placements that occurred in 2009 and a general trend by customers to delay service calls and maintenance to save money in a difficult economy.

Cost of Revenue

Consolidated cost of product, consisting of costs of material, labor and overhead, shipping and handling costs and warranty expenses, was $17.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to $16.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, an increase of 9.6%. The increase was due primarily to a 4% increase in product revenues and a shift in the product revenue mix in the 2010 first quarter to be more heavily weighted toward equipment sales, which have a higher portion of cost related to them.

Consolidated cost of service and parts was $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to $6.0 million in the same prior year period. These amounts represent the costs of spare parts, labor and overhead associated with the ongoing service of products. The reduction in overall cost is due primarily to a declining revenue base, as well as lower parts revenues.

- 23 -

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 33.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 35.1% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Gross profit as a percentage of product revenues was 35.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 39.1% in the comparable prior year period. The reduction versus the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to an unfavorable mix of products with a higher proportion of equipment revenue which typically has lower margins and reduced productivity in our Hudson, NH manufacturing facility due to reduced volume levels.

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues increased slightly from 20.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to 21.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of payroll and related expenses for personnel, parts and supplies, and contracted services required to conduct our equipment and consumables development efforts.

Research and development expenses were $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. This reduction was due primarily to lower parts and supplies expense related to product development, lower payroll costs and reduced professional service fees.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses primarily consist of payroll and related expenses for personnel, advertising, trade shows, promotional expenses, and travel costs associated with sales, marketing and customer support activities.

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses decreased from $6.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 17.0%. The decline in expenses resulted primarily from lower payroll costs, professional service fees and travel related costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are primarily comprised of payroll and related expenses, including stock compensation, for personnel and contracted professional services necessary to conduct our general management, finance, information systems, human resources and administrative activities.

General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $6.0 million in 2009, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 15.0%. Lower expenses resulted primarily from lower payroll and professional service costs; offset primarily by an increase in costs related to the 2010 bonus plan, which is a non-cash expense.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense was $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to $0.3 million in the prior year first quarter. These expenses relate to intangible assets recorded in connection with the Company’s 2004 ABDick acquisition, patents and other purchased intangible assets.

Restructuring and Other Charges

We had essentially no restructuring and other charges in the first quarter of 2010. In the first quarter of 2009, we recognized $0.1 million of restructuring costs related to employee severance.

Net interest and other expense was $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to net interest and other income of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. Net interest expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 reflected an increase of $0.2 million from the comparable prior year period due to higher interest rates under the forbearance agreement with our prior revolving credit facility lender. On March 5, 2010, we entered into a new asset based revolving credit facility and repaid all amounts outstanding under the prior revolving credit facility. The amounts reported as other income (expense), net include among other items $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for losses on foreign currency transactions for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, respectively, and a $1.2 million gain from settlement of a lawsuit for the three months ended April 4, 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes

At April 3, 2010, our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, amounted to $1.6 million which is associated with the Company’s European and Canadian entities.

Discontinued Operations

The Company accounts for its discontinued operations under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360. Accordingly, results of operations and the related charges for discontinued operations have been classified as “Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been reclassified and reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets of discontinued operations” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations”. For comparative purposes, all prior periods presented have been reclassified on a consistent basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition (Sources and Uses of Cash)

We finance our operating and capital investment requirements primarily through cash flows from operations and borrowings. At April 3, 2010, we had $3.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $25.0 million of working capital, including $8.8 million of short-term debt, compared to $5.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $35.1 million of working capital, including $14.9 million of short-term debt at April 4, 2009.

Continuing Operations

Our operating activities provided $0.5 million of cash in the three months ended April 3, 2010. Cash provided by operating activities came from a net gain after adjustments for non-cash depreciation, amortization, provisions for warranty costs,accounts receivable allowances, stock compensation expense, and non-cash bonus expense of $1.8 million, offset partially by a use of cash from operating assets and liabilities. The use of cash related to operating assets and liabilities was, in large part, due to a decrease of $0.6 million in deferred revenue and a decrease of $0.9 million in accrued expenses. The change in accrued expenses was due mainly to the timing of transactions and related payments.

We used $1.2 million of net cash for investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment and additions to developed technology costs. Our additions to property, plant and equipment relate primarily to equipment provided to our CTP plate customers.

Our financing activities used $9.8 million of cash, comprised primarily of $9.1 million of cash repayments under our lines of credit, plus $0.8 million of cash payments related to establishment of our new financing facility.

Discontinued Operations

Operating activities of discontinued operations provided $1.4 million in cash in the first three months of fiscal 2010. Investing activities of discontinued operations provided $7.4 million in cash associated with the net proceeds from the sale of Lasertel to SELEX.

Liquidity

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as Lender and as administrative agent for Lenders (PNC, in such agency capacity, the “Agent”).

The new Credit Agreement, maturing in three years from the date of the Credit Agreement, provides for funding of up to $25.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Revolver is determined on a percentage of eligible account receivables and inventory of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Company may terminate the Credit Agreement at any time prior to the maturity date upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and upon payment in full of all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement. If the Company terminates the Credit Agreement within the first 35 months after the date on which the Credit Agreement is entered into, the Company must pay an early termination fee as specified in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay a portion of borrowings under the Credit Agreement out of the proceeds of certain dispositions of property.

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings was 4.80% at April 3, 2010.

We believe that existing funds, cash flows from operations, and cash available from the line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.

A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time the Company has engaged in sales of equipment that is leased by or intended to be leased by a third party purchaser to another party. In certain situations, the Company may retain recourse obligations to a financing institution involved in providing financing to the ultimate lessee in the event the lessee of the equipment defaults on its lease obligations. In certain such instances, the Company may refurbish and remarket the equipment on behalf of the financing company, should the ultimate lessee default on payment of the lease. In certain circumstances, should the resale price of such equipment fall below certain predetermined levels, the Company would, under these arrangements, reimburse the financing company for any such shortfall in sale price (a “shortfall payment”). Generally, the Company’s liability for these recourse agreements is limited to 9.5% of the amount outstanding. The maximum amount for which the Company was liable to the financial institutions for the shortfall payments was approximately $1.2 million at April 3, 2010.

Effect of Inflation

Inflation has not had a material impact on our financial conditions or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns; warranty obligations; allowances for doubtful accounts; slow-moving and obsolete inventories; income taxes; the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets and deferred tax assets; stock-based compensation and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010 which was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2010. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies in the three months ended April 3, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purpose. At April 3, 2010, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and procedures and evaluations thereof referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
