NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 29, 2007

(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 September 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, 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 and nine months ended September 29, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2007. 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 fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 25, 2007.

The Company’s operations are currently organized into two segments: (i) Presstek and (ii) Lasertel. The Presstek segment is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, sale and servicing of the Company’s patented digital imaging systems and patented printing plate technologies as well as traditional, analog systems and related equipment and supplies for the graphic arts and printing industries, primarily the short-run, full-color market segment. The Lasertel segment manufactures and develops high-powered laser diodes and related laser products for the Presstek segment and for sale to external customers. Any future changes to this organizational structure may result in changes to the segments currently disclosed.

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 and thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 2007 (the “third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007” or the “three and nine months ended September 29, 2007”) and September 30, 2006 (the “third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006” or the “three and nine months ended September 30, 2006”).

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, Earnings per Share (“SFAS 128”). Accordingly, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For periods in which there is net income, diluted earnings per share is determined by using the weighted average number

of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period unless the effect is antidilutive. Potential dilutive equivalent common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

PRESSTEK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 29, 2007

(Unaudited)

Approximately 1,875,400 and 1,849,700 options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively, as their effect would be antidilutive. Approximately 1,967,400 and 878,300 options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively, as their effect would be antidilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses from these subsidiaries are translated at average monthly exchange rates in effect for the periods in which the transactions occur. The resulting unrealized gains or losses are reported under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are reported as a component of “Interest and other income (expense), net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded gains on foreign currency transactions of approximately $0.3 million and $29,000 for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007, respectively. The Company recorded gains on foreign currency transactions of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions also affect the amount of reported revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most judgmental estimates include those related to product returns; warranty obligations; allowance 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. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and various other appropriate factors, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following discussion supersedes the description of such policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 2007. For a discussion of other critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to such Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue principally from the sale of products (equipment, printing plates and other consumables, and laser diodes) and services (equipment maintenance contracts, installation, training, support, and spare parts).

- 7 -

PRESSTEK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 29, 2007

(Unaudited)

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue until all revenue recognition criteria are met.

Product revenue

End-Users - Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale of equipment, title and risk of loss are transferred to end-user customers upon completion of installation and revenue is recognized at that time, unless customer acceptance is uncertain or significant deliverables remain. Sales of other products, including printing plates, are generally recognized at the time of shipment.

OEMs - Product revenue and any related royalties for products sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM” or “OEMs”) are recognized at the time of shipment as installation is not required and title and risk of loss pass at shipment. OEM contracts do not generally include price protection or product return rights; however, the Company may elect, in certain circumstances, to accept returns of product.

Distributors - Revenue for product sold to distributors, whereby the distributor is responsible for installation, is recognized at shipment, unless other revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Revenue for product sold to distributors under contracts which involve Company installation of equipment is recognized upon installation, unless end-user customer acceptance is uncertain, significant deliverables remain, or other revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Except in cases of contract termination (which may include limited product return rights), distributor contracts do not generally include price protection or product return rights; however, the Company may elect, in certain circumstances, to accept returns of product.

Service and parts revenue

Revenue for installation services, including time and material billings, are recognized as services are rendered. Revenue associated with maintenance or extended service agreements is recognized ratably over the contract period. Revenue associated with training and support services is recognized as services are rendered. Certain fees and other reimbursements are recognized as revenue when the related services have been performed or the revenue is otherwise earned.

Leases

The Company may offer customer financing to assist customers in the acquisition of Presstek products. At the time a financing transaction is consummated, which qualifies as a sales-type lease, the Company records equipment revenue equal to the net present value of future lease payments. Any remaining balance is recognized as finance income using the effective interest method over the term of the lease. Leases not qualifying as sales-type leases are accounted for as operating leases. The company recognizes revenue from operating leases on an accrual basis as the rental payments become due.

Multiple element arrangements

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”) and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (“EITF 00-21”), when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as equipment, consumables or services, revenue is allocated to each element based on its relative fair value. The fair value of any undelivered elements, such as warranty, training and services, is deferred until delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.

Rights of return

A general right of return or cancellation does not exist once product is delivered to the customer; however, the Company may elect, in certain circumstances, to accept returns of product. Product revenues are recorded net of estimated returns, which are adjusted periodically, based upon historical rates of return. The estimated cost of post-sale obligations, including product warranties, is accrued at the time revenue is recognized based on historical experience.

Shipping and handling

The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees passed on to customers as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are reported as components of cost of revenue (product) and cost of revenue (service and parts).

Accounting for Income Taxes

The Company’s policy covering accounting for income taxes, which was disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, filed with the SEC on April 25, 2007, was expanded in the first

quarter of fiscal 2007 to include the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (“EITF 06-3”). EITF 06-3 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier application permitted. EITF 06-3 requires disclosure of the accounting policy for any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction (i.e., sales, use, value added) on a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or net basis (excluded from revenues and costs). The Company excludes these amounts from its revenues and costs; accordingly, no additional disclosure will be required.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors' requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No 115 ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In June 2007, the FASB also ratified EITF 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities" ("EITF 07-3"). EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. EITF 07-3 is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-3 to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141R"). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company will apply SFAS 141R prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

Also in December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (FASB No. 160), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement requires all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same manner– as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring that they be treated as equity transactions. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of FASB No. 160 in the first quarter of 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Indicators such as unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors, unanticipated technological change or competitive activities, loss of key personnel and acts by governments and courts may signal that goodwill has been impaired. Should the fair value of a reporting unit, as determined by the Company at any measurement date, fall below the carrying value of the respective reporting unit’s net assets, an impairment will be recorded in the period.

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 29, 2007		September 29, 2007

Risk-free interest rate		--		4.3	%
Volatility		--		48.0	%
Expected life (in years)		--		4.1
Dividend yield		--		--

Based on the above assumptions, for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 the weighted average fair value of each option to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock under the non-plan, non-qualified stock option agreement with the Company’s President and CEO granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $2.58.

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of Presstek’s common stock. The expected life represents an estimate of the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules, contractual life, historical exercise and cancellation rates, and in the case of the ESPP, the purchase period. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Government T-Bill rate for the period corresponding to the expected life of the options or ESPP purchase period.

The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 31.3 % for the nine months ended September 29, 2007 and 18.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to nondeductible officer compensation and U.S. tax on deemed foreign subsidiaries’ dividends.

Effective December 31, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. There was no cumulative impact of adopting FIN 48 charged or credited to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The Company conducts business in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, and files tax returns in these jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by these taxing authorities. As of

September 29, 2007, the years subject to examination by taxing authorities is 1995 through 2006 for the United States, and 2004 through 2006 for the United Kingdom and Canada. While we believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than our accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions on U.S. and foreign tax-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.

As of December 30, 2006 the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.8 million of which $1.1 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2007. The unrecognized tax benefits are comprised of the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in our financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties on tax deficiencies as a component of tax expense. As of December 30, 2006 and September 29, 2007 there were no accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits.

16. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss), and all changes in equity of the Company during

the period from non-owner sources. These changes in equity are recorded as adjustments to Accumulated other comprehensive income in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The primary component of Accumulated other comprehensive income is unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation. The components of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 29, 2007			September 30, 2006			September 29, 2007			September 30, 2006

19. RELATED PARTIES

The Company engages the services of Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein, a law firm of which a member of the Company’s Board of Directors is a partner. Expenses incurred for services from this law firm were $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007, respectively, and $1.0 million and $2.4 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments & Contingencies

On October 30, 2006, a chemical was released from a mixing tank into a holding pool at our manufacturing plant in South Hadley, Massachusetts, which caused the Company to temporarily cease digital and analog aluminum plate manufacturing operations at this location. The chemical release was contained on-site, there were no reported injuries, neighboring properties were not damaged and there were no requirements for soil or groundwater remediation. Digital plate manufacturing was restarted on November 6, 2006. On December 28, 2006, the Company’s production in South Hadley, Massachusetts of Precision-branded analog plates used in newspaper applications was discontinued. In April and May of fiscal 2007, the Company executed consent orders and settlement arrangements with the U.S. Department of Labor - Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, respectively. Under these arrangements, the Company agreed to corrective action to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental regulations in the future. Expenses associated with and amounts accrued for this incident as of September 29, 2007 are reflected in the financial results of discontinued operations (Note 2). It is possible that costs in excess of amounts accrued may be incurred.

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 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 9.9% 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 $1.1 million at September 29, 2007.

Litigation

In October 2006 the Company, together with two of its former executive officers, were named as defendants in a purported securities class action suit filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire in October 2006. The suit claims to be brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period from July 27, 2006 through September 29, 2006. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company and the other defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and this motion has been denied. The case is in its preliminary pre-trial stage.

In August 2007 an Arbitrator from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution issued a partial award against the Company and in favor of Reda National Company (“Reda”), a former Company distributor operating in the Middle East. Reda claims that the Company breached an exclusive distributor agreement by entering into a distribution agreement with another party covering the same territory assigned to Reda. Reda has claimed damages totaling approximately $9.7 million. In the partial award the Arbitrator found that the Company had breached its agreement with Reda and found the Company liable to Reda for arbitration costs, attorneys’ fees, and incidental expenses incurred by Reda in connection with the arbitration. The Arbitrator also ordered that a further hearing to determine additional damages, if any, would be scheduled. The damages hearing was held in December 2007 and the parties are awaiting the finding of the Arbitrator. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to Reda’s damages claim and has vigorously contested the claim.

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

Regulatory Matters

On February 4, 2008, the Company received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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 2006. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC's investigation.

In January 2008 the Company was served with an Administrative Complaint filed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The EPA seeks to assess penalties against the Company for alleged violations of certain provisions of the Clean Air Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act arising from an incident occurring at a facility of the Company located in South Hadley, Massachusetts on October 30, 2006. The Company has recorded its best estimate of any losses associated with this matter.

On November 16, 2007, the Company received a NASDAQ Staff Determination notifying the Company that, as a result of its delayed filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 29, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing as set forth under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and therefore subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Company requested and subsequently attended a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel (the “Panel”), which was held on January 10, 2008, to appeal the Staff Determination and present a plan to regain compliance. The Panel has yet to render its decision, however, with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company believes that it has remedied its non-compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and is no longer subject to delisting.

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 under the heading “Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements” and in “Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, as filed with the SEC on April 25, 2007.

Overview

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. Our proprietary digital imaging and advanced technology consumables offer business solutions for commercial printing focusing on short-run, high quality color applications.

Presstek’s business model is a capital equipment and consumables model. In this model, over fifty percent of our revenue is recurring revenue. Our model is designed so that each placement of either a direct-to-press or a computer-to-plate (“CtP”) system generally results in recurring aftermarket revenue for consumables and service.

Through our various operations, we:

·	provide digital print solutions through the development and manufacture of digital laser imaging equipment and chemistry-free printing plates, which we call consumables, for commercial and in-plant print providers targeting the market for high quality, fast turnaround short-run color printing;

·	deliver Presstek digital solutions and solutions from other manufacturing partners through our direct sales and service force and through distribution partners;

·	manufacture semiconductor solid state laser diodes for Presstek imaging applications and for use in external applications; and

·	manufacture and distribute printing plates for conventional print applications.

In addition to marketing, selling and servicing our proprietary digital products, we also market, sell and service traditional or analog products for the commercial print market. This analog equipment is manufactured by third party strategic partners and the analog consumables are manufactured by either us or our strategic partners.

Our operations are currently organized into two segments: (i) Presstek and (ii) Lasertel. Segment operating results are based on the current organizational structure 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 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.

We generate revenue through four main sources: (i) the sale of our equipment, including DI® presses and CtP devices, and to a lesser extent imaging kits complete with optical assemblies and software, and spare parts, which are incorporated by leading press manufacturers into direct imaging presses for the graphic arts industry;

- 28 -

(ii) the sale of high-powered laser diodes for the graphic arts, defense and industrial sectors; (iii) the sale of our proprietary and non-proprietary consumables and supplies; and (iv) the servicing of offset printing systems and analog and CtP systems and related equipment.

We operate and report on a 52- or 53-week, fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the financial reports for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 29, 2007, which we refer to as the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2007 or the three and nine months ended September 29, 2007, and the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 30, 2006, which we refer to as the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

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 caused those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.

The discussion of results of operations at the consolidated level is presented together with results of operations by business segment.

Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements

Certain of the statements contained in this report (other than the historical financial data and other statements of historical fact), including, without limitation, statements as to management’s expectations and beliefs, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s good faith expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with such expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plans,” “strategy,” “prospects,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intends” and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Many important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations, including:

	•		market acceptance of and demand for our products and resulting revenues;

	•		our ability to meet our stated financial objectives;

	•		our dependency on our strategic partners, both on manufacturing and distribution;

	•		the introduction of competitive products into the marketplace;

	•		shortages of critical or sole-source component supplies;

	•		the availability and quality of Lasertel’s laser diodes;

	•		the performance and market acceptance of our recently-introduced products, and our ability to invest in new product development;

	•		manufacturing constraints or difficulties (as well as manufacturing difficulties experienced by our sub-manufacturing partners and their capacity constraints);

- 29 -


•	restructuring and related charges might exceed our expectations due to, among other reasons, greater than anticipated headcount reductions, inventory consolidation, or contract terminations or greater than anticipated implementation costs;

•	the impact of recent accounting pronouncement promulgated by the FASB might vary from our expectations, or the FASB or other accounting standard setting agencies may adopt new accounting pronouncements;

•	the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies might vary from our expectations;

•	Transactions or other events may affect the need for, timing and extent of the Company’s capital expenditures; and

•		the impact of general market factors in the print industry generally and the economy as a whole, including the potential effects of inflation.

The Company undertakes no obligation not required by applicable law or regulation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue

Consolidated revenues were $59.6 million and $193.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $61.4 million and $199.6 million in the comparable prior year periods. As a result of the Company’s third quarter review of European business and revenue recognition practices, certain revenue transactions totaling $1.5 million were identified that were incorrectly recorded in prior quarters. A determination was made that these errors were not material to prior periods or the current period, and a correction was made by reducing revenue by $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2007. Excluding this revenue adjustment in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, revenues for the period were essentially unchanged from the comparable prior year period. The decline in revenues on a year-to-date basis was primarily the result of declining sales of Presstek’s “traditional” portfolio of products, partially offset by increased sales of 52DI presses, DI plates, and chemistry-free CtP plates.

Presstek segment equipment revenues were $18.0 million and $67.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 5.2%, and an increase of $0.6 million, or 0.9%, from the comparable prior year periods. Presstek branded DI press revenues of $13.1 and $47.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, represented increases of $1.7 million, or 15.3%, and $12.4 million, or 35.6%, compared to the same periods in 2006. Strong marketplace demand for the 52DI press, which was introduced in the third quarter of 2006, continued with unit sales reaching 11 and 44 in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively. Partially offsetting DI equipment revenue increases were lower sales of CtP and analog equipment. Revenues from CtP equipment decreased modestly to $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $3.6 million in the comparable prior year period, but declined on a year-to-date basis from $16.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 to $12.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Year-to-date sales of Digital Plate Makers (“DPM”) platesetters declined from $4.0 million in 2006 to $2.3 million in 2007 due largely to continued sales and marketing emphasis on higher margin DI equipment units. Sales of the Vector TX52 increased to $1.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $0.3 million in the comparable prior year period. Analog equipment revenues of $2.5 million and $9.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, decreased from $3.7 million and $13.2 million in the comparable prior year periods. Lower analog equipment revenues reflect the ongoing transition of our customer base from analog to digital technologies. Overall sales of Presstek’s “growth portfolio” of equipment products, defined as Presstek branded DI presses, DI kits, and CtP platesetters, increased by 12.4%, or $1.8 million, and 19.6%, or $9.6 million, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods, due primarily to strong demand for the 52DI press. Overall, digital equipment revenue as a percentage of total equipment revenue increased to 90.2% in the third quarter and 89.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to 86.3% and 83.9% in the comparable prior year periods.

Revenue for the Lasertel segment, including intercompany revenue, was $2.8 million and $9.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, and reflects a decrease of $0.4 million, or 12.7%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, and an increase of $0.7 million, or 8.2%, for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to the same prior year periods. The decline in revenue in the third quarter period relates to a decrease in intercompany sales to the Presstek segment due in part to a shutdown in production required to complete a physical inventory, as well as lower demand for CtP products. The favorable revenue increase in the nine month period is principally the result of increased sales of laser diode array products to external customers, which more than offset lower sales to the Presstek segment.

Consumables product revenues increased modestly from $29.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to $30.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, but decreased from $93.1 million to $90.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 is primarily the result of higher DI plate sales resulting from the growing base of installed DI presses. The decline in the nine month period resulted from the anticipated slowdown of certain products in Presstek’s “traditional” product line, including QMDI plates and conventional consumables, and was consistent with industry trends. QMDI plates declined from $18.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 to $15.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007, a decrease of 18.0%.

- 32 -

Sales of conventional consumables declined from $31.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 to $27.1 million in the comparable 2007 period. Partially offsetting this decline were sales of Presstek’s “growth portfolio” of consumables, defined as 52DI, 34DI, and chemistry-free CtP plates, which grew from $7.8 million and $22.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006, respectively, to $9.6 million and $27.8 million, or 22.5% and 22.7%, in the comparable 2007 periods.

Service and parts revenues of $9.5 million and $29.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, reflect decreases of $1.4 million, or 12.5%, and $5.4 million or 15.6%, from the comparable prior year periods. The decrease reflects the anticipated shift away from our less profitable legacy service contract base which, in the short term, is declining faster than our digital service business is accelerating.

Cost of Revenue

Consolidated cost of revenue was $44.9 million and $141.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, reflecting increases of $1.5 million, or 3.4%, and $1.6 million, or 1.2%, compared to the same prior year periods. Cost of revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 includes $3.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of charges related to excess and obsolete inventory, field service inventory, warranty, accrued purchase commitments related to product portfolio changes, planned changes for the Vector TX52 product line and physical inventory results. Service and parts cost of revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 includes a charge of $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to write-downs of field service parts inventory.

Cost of product, consisting of costs of material, labor and overhead, shipping and handling costs and warranty expenses, was $36.8 million and $117.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Cost of product in the Presstek segment was $34.5 million and $112.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $34.0 million and $111.2 million in the same prior year periods.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded inventory-related charges of $2.8 million, consisting of $2.2 million for the write-off of excess and obsolete inventory, $0.4 million of warranty-related expenses and $0.2 million of accrued liabilities in non-cancelable inventory purchase commitments. Excess and obsolete inventory charges for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 included $1.1 million in excess associated with specific changes to the future product portfolio, a change in estimate of $0.7 million arising from revised methodology in identifying excess and obsolete inventory and $0.4 million related to product reviews. Excess and obsolete inventory and warranty charges for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related principally to reliability issues associated with the Vector TX52 product line.

The year-to-date increases result primarily from the above inventory-related charges from the third quarter of fiscal 2007, together with $2.5 million of charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 for warranty, accrued purchase commitments and excess and obsolete inventory write-down related to the Vector TX52 product line. These charges were partially offset by favorable product mix and production efficiencies.

Cost of revenue in the Lasertel segment, including intercompany, was $3.3 million and $8.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $2.9 million and $7.7 million in the comparable prior year periods. In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the company recorded excess and obsolete inventory charges of $0.2 million and $0.1 million related to physical inventory losses. The segment also experienced increased costs due to unfavorable product mix on third party revenues.

Cost of service, including the charge of $0.3 million and $1.1 million for field service parts inventory recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, was $8.1 million and $24.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $8.1 million and $25.1 million in the same prior year periods. These amounts represent the costs of spare parts, labor and overhead associated with the ongoing service of products. Service costs were favorably impacted by the termination of service personnel in North America, the result of a restructuring plan intended to realign our service organization with a declining analog revenue base.

- 33 -

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 24.8% and 26.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to 29.4% and 29.9% in the comparable prior year periods. Gross margins in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 were negatively impacted by excess and obsolete inventory and warranty charges related to product portfolio changes and field service parts inventory charges.

Gross profit as a percentage of product revenue was 26.7% and 28.7% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to 30.2% and 30.3% in the comparable prior year periods. Gross margins in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 were negatively impacted by excess and obsolete inventory and warranty charges related principally to product portfolio changes and field service parts inventory charges. Gross margin as a percentage of overall product sales in 2007 was favorably impacted by a higher mix of DI revenues, which are predominately higher margin products than our CtP and traditional lines of business.

Gross margin as a percentage of service revenue was 14.7% and 16.1% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to 25.3% and 27.7% in the same prior year periods. Service margins in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007 were negatively impacted by charges for losses on field service parts inventory, $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Lower service margins also reflect the declining analog contract revenue base, which more than offset cost savings resulting from the reductions in field service personnel.

Research and Development

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

Consolidated research and development expenses of $1.5 million and $4.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, were essentially unchanged from $1.7 million and $4.9 million in the comparable prior year periods.

Research and development expenses for the Presstek segment were $1.2 million and $3.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $4.1 million in the comparable prior year periods. The decrease was due primarily to lower payroll related expenses due to personnel turnover.

Research and development expenses for the Lasertel segment were $0.3 million in both the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, and $1.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to $0.8 million in the same prior year period. The increased expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 relates primarily to incremental parts and supplies consumed in the product development process.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

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

Consolidated sales, marketing and customer support expenses of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 decreased by $0.4 million, or 4.2%, from the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to lower payroll related costs. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, consolidated sales, marketing, and customer support expenses were $30.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the comparable prior year period.

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses for the Presstek segment of $9.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased $0.4 million from the comparable prior year period resulting from lower payroll related costs in each area. Expense of $29.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 reflects an increase

- 34 -

of $0.4 million compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase in expense is principally due increased trade show costs, together with an increase in costs in our European operation necessary to support planned growth.

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses for the Lasertel segment were $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, and were essentially unchanged from the same prior year periods.

General and Administrative

Consolidated general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for personnel and contracted professional services necessary to conduct our finance, information systems, human resources and administrative activities.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses were $9.2 million and $24.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $5.6 million and $14.7 million in the comparable prior year periods. General and administrative expenses increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 over the comparable prior year periods due primarily to higher patent defense and litigation activities of $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, increased bad debt expense of $1.2 million arising from the Company’s internal review of business practices, and increased professional fees associated with the review of $0.2 million. General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2007 also include an increase of $0.6 million in stock compensation related to stock option grants to officers, directors and employees compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, the increase over the comparable prior year period was due principally to restricted stock compensation of $1.5 million and $1.8 million of other stock-based compensation related to stock option grants to officers, directors and employees.

General and administrative expenses for the Presstek segment were $8.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $5.4 million in the comparable prior year period. The increased expense was due primarily to the increased professional fees, litigation, stock compensation, and bad debt expenses noted above. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, general and administrative expense for the Presstek segment totaled $23.6 million compared to $14.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The increase in expense was due primarily to increased legal expenses of $2.6 million, increased bad debt expense of $1.7 million, restricted stock granted to our CEO of $1.5 million, additional compensation expense related to stock option grants to officers and employees of $1.8 million, and increased professional fees related to the Company’s internal review of revenue recognition practices and European operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 of $0.2 million.

General and administrative expenses for the Lasertel segment were $0.4 million and $0.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $0.8 million in the comparable prior year periods. Increased expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 relates primarily to higher bad debt charges.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense of $0.6 million and $2.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, declined slightly from $0.8 million and $2.3 million in the comparable prior year periods. 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

Consolidated restructuring and other charges of $0.4 million and $1.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, represent the cost of severance and separation expenses for employment contracts of former executives, as well as restructuring in our Canadian, U.S. and European operations.

- 35 -

In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company commenced the consolidation of the Canadian back-office operations and certain Des Plaines, Illinois activities into its Hudson, New Hampshire operations as part of its Business Improvement Plan (“BIP”). These projects as part of the BIP include restructuring costs relating to severance, operating lease run-out and inventory consolidation. It is estimated that the Company will incur approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million of restructuring charges related to these projects. All costs are expected to be incurred by the end of fiscal 2008.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Consolidated net interest expense of $0.8 million and $2.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, increased from $0.6 million and $1.6 million in the comparable prior year periods. Increased interest expenses are primarily the result of higher balances on our revolving credit facility. Other income (expense), comprised primarily of gains on foreign currency translation, was $0.2 million and ($0.1) million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $0.4 million in the comparable prior year periods. This was partially offset by losses on disposal of fixed assets of $0.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007.

Benefit for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations is 31.3% for the first nine months of 2007 compared to 18.3% in the same period last year. The increase in the effective rate from the prior year comparable period is primarily attributable to certain officer compensation, which is non-deductible for federal and state tax purposes, and U.S. taxes on deemed foreign subsidiary dividends.

Discontinued Operations

The Company accounts for its discontinued operations under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). 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 Income. 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.

Precision Lithograining Corp. - Analog Newspaper Business

On December 28, 2006, the Company’s production in South Hadley, Massachusetts of Precision-branded analog plates used in newspaper applications was discontinued.

Results of operations of the discontinued analog newspaper business of Precision consist of the following (in thousands, except per-share data):

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 29, 2007	September 30, 2006	September 29, 2007	September 30, 2006
Revenue	$ 0	$ 3,349	$ 196	$ 9,937
Income (loss) before income taxes	16	(398)	(132)	(456)
Provision (benefit) from income taxes	6	(15)	(54)	14
Income (loss) from discontinued operations	$ 10	$ (383)	$ (78)	$ (470)
Earnings (loss) per share	$0.00	$ (0.01)	$ (0.00)	$ (0.01)

Precision’s analog newspaper business was closed in fiscal 2007 and accordingly there were no substantial revenues from discontinued operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Revenues of $9.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were primarily associated with the manufacture and distribution of Precision analog products to newspaper business customers. There were no significant operating expenses incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and $0.02 million of miscellaneous income was recognized as a result of the sale of scrap inventory.

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 September 29, 2007, we had $8.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $40.6 million of working capital, compared to $6.3 million of cash and $45.6 million of working capital at September 30, 2006.

Continuing Operations

Our operating activities consumed $3.2 million of cash in the nine months ended September 29, 2007. Cash used by operating activities resulted primarily from the net loss, after adjustments for non-cash depreciation, amortization, provisions for warranty costs and restructuring and other charges, stock compensation expense and losses on the disposal of assets. Cash from operations was further impacted by an increase in inventory levels of $4.0 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.1 million, an increase of $0.5 million in other current assets, a decrease in accounts payable of $5.2 million and a decrease of $0.4 in deferred revenue. The increase in inventory levels was due in part to lower than anticipated European sales activity and also reflects longer lead time for certain equipment purchases. The decrease in accounts receivable primarily reflects $2.1 million of write offs for the year-to-date period. The increase in other current assets relates primarily to the current income tax benefit as a result of continued net losses. Offsetting this was an increase in miscellaneous accrued expenses of $1.7 million principally related to accrued legal and other professional fees.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2007, we used $2.6 million of net cash for investing activities primarily to purchase additions to property, plant and equipment consisting of production equipment and investments in our infrastructure, including costs related to the implementation of a new service management system.

Our financing activities provided $3.8 million of cash, comprised of $6.0 million of cash received from borrowings on our current line of credit and $3.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock, offset by $5.3 million of repayments on our term loan.

Discontinued Operations

In the first nine months of fiscal 2007, operating activities of discontinued operations provided $0.2 million in cash as a result of a decrease of $1.8 million in accounts receivable and a decrease of $1.4 million in inventory, partially offset by a net decrease of $3.0 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and the net loss of $0.1 million.

Liquidity

Our current Senior Secured Credit Facilities, referred to as the Facilities, include a $35.0 million five year secured term loan, referred to as the Term Loan, and a $45.0 million five year secured revolving line of credit, referred to as the Revolver, which replaced our then-existing term loan and revolver entered into in October 2003. At September 29, 2007, we had $21.0 million outstanding under the line of credit and $6.3 million outstanding under letters of credit, adjusting the amount available under the Revolver to $17.7 million. The Company reduced its outstanding letters of credit in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 by $6.0 million. At September 29, 2007, the interest rate on the outstanding balance of the Revolver was 7.8%. Principal payments on the Term Loan are made in consecutive quarterly installments of $1.75 million, with a final settlement of all remaining principal and unpaid interest on November 4, 2009. The Facilities were used to partially finance the acquisition of the business of ABDick, and are available for working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Facilities bear interest at either (i) the London InterBank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus applicable margins or (ii) the Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus applicable margins. The applicable margins range from 1.25% to 4.0% for LIBOR, or up to 1.75% for the Prime Rate, based on certain financial performance. At September 29, 2007, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan was 7.9%.

- 37 -

Under the terms of the Revolver and Term Loan, we are required to meet various financial and non-financial covenants on a quarterly and annual basis, including maximum funded debt to EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP measurement that we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring and other charges/(credits), and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. At September 29, 2007, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. Due to delays in reporting financial statements for the period ended September 29, 2007 to its lenders, the Company did not meet its non-financial covenant to furnish quarterly financial statements within 45 days of the period end and received a waiver for that requirement from lenders on January 18, 2008.

We believe that existing funds, cash flows from operations, and cash available under our Revolver should be sufficient to satisfy working capital requirements and capital expenditures through at least the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not require additional financing, or that such additional financing, if needed, would be available on acceptable terms.

Our anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 range between $3.0 million and $5.0 million, including expenditures related to our computer systems infrastructure and equipment to be used in the production of our DI and CtP equipment and consumable products.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time we have 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, we 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, we 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, we would, under these arrangements, reimburse the financing company for any such shortfall in sale price (a “shortfall payment”). The maximum contingent obligation under these shortfall payment arrangements is estimated to be $1.1 million at September 29, 2007.

Effect of Inflation

Inflation has not had, and is not expected to have, 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.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue

End-Users - Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale of equipment, title and risk of loss are transferred to third-party end-user customers upon completion of installation and revenue is recognized at that time, unless customer acceptance is uncertain or significant deliverables remain. Sales of other products, including printing plates, are generally recognized at the time of shipment.

OEMs - Product revenue and any related royalties for products sold to OEMs are recognized at the time of shipment as installation is not required and title and risk of loss pass at shipment. OEM contracts do not generally include price protection or product return rights; however, the Company may elect, in certain circumstances, to accept returns of product.

Accounting for Income Taxes

- 40 -

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 was adopted by Presstek in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

the consolidated financial statements. This eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring that they be treated as equity transactions. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of FASB No. 160 in the first quarter of 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 September 29, 2007, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investing activities, commodity price risk and foreign currency fluctuations.

Our long-term borrowings are in variable rate instruments, with interest rates tied to either the Prime Rate or the LIBOR. A 100 basis point change in these rates would have an impact of approximately $0.6 million on our annual interest expense, assuming consistent levels of floating rate debt with those held at September 29, 2007.

Commodity price movements create a market risk by affecting the price we must pay for certain raw materials. The Company purchases aluminum for use in manufacturing consumables products and is embedded in certain components we purchase from major suppliers. From time to time, we enter into agreements with certain suppliers to manage price risks within a specified range of prices; however, our suppliers generally pass on significant commodity price changes to the Company in the form of revised prices on future purchases. In general, the Company has not used commodity forward or option contracts to manage this market risk.

We are exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rates, which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. The Company regularly monitors the fluctuation of these rates in order to assess whether it is prudent to enter into derivative or other hedging transactions in order to manage this risk. The Company has not entered into such derivative or hedging transactions.

The Company carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 29, 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses described below. Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses described below, management has concluded that the consolidated interim financial information included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented.

Management has undertaken procedures and other steps, including the completion of an internal review of the Company’s financial accounts related to its European operation, to mitigate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, along with additional procedures designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, to enable the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to execute the certifications required by Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act.

In its Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, included in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 25, 2007, the Company determined that there was a control deficiency that constituted a material weakness, as described below.

Significant or Non-Routine Transactions

The Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with the appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) to analyze, review, and monitor accounting for transactions that are significant or non-routine. As a result, the Company did not prepare adequate contemporaneous documentation that would provide a sufficient basis for an effective evaluation and review of the accounting for transactions that are significant or non-routine. This material weakness resulted in errors in the preliminary December 30, 2006 consolidated financial statements and more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 30, 2006. In connection with new executive leadership joining the company in fiscal 2007, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 management undertook a review of business practices and certain financial reporting matters of all operations of the Company.

- 43 -

As a result of this review, which included an internal investigation of certain European revenue transactions, and additional reviews and procedures conducted by the Company’s management and its internal audit group, certain additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting were identified. The deficiencies identified in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were principally applicable to transactions originating in the Company’s European operation, which is included in the Presstek segment for financial reporting purposes.

In its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 29, 2007, the Company has determined that there were additional control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses as described below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has concluded that the internal controls applicable to equipment revenue recognition were not adequate to ensure that sufficient documentation regarding terms and conditions of equipment contracts and agreements were maintained to permit proper evaluation relative to revenue recognition of such contracts and agreements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In addition, review and monitoring controls over revenue transactions were not operating effectively to identify accounting errors on a timely basis. These deficiencies resulted in errors that were corrected in the third quarter ended September 29, 2007 consolidated financial statements and there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Account Reconciliations

Account reconciliations for certain balance sheet accounts at the Company’s subsidiary in Europe were not performed properly or timely, and the reconciliations were not consistently reviewed for completeness, accuracy, and timely resolution of reconciling items. These deficiencies resulted in errors that were corrected in the third quarter ended September 29, 2007 consolidated financial statements and there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Plan

Our management, under new executive leadership, continues to engage in substantial efforts to remediate the material weaknesses noted above. The following remedial actions are intended both to address the identified material weaknesses and to enhance our internal control.

Significant or Non-Routine Transactions

The following remedial actions have been implemented through September 29, 2007:

·	On February 28, 2007, the Company announced the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer.

Effective April 3, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors established a Financial Reporting Task Force to develop and implement a corrective action plan to ensure full remediation of the material weaknesses. This Task Force, which reports directly to the Audit Committee, is led by the Chief Financial Officer.

- 44 -

·	During March, 2007, a new Financial Reporting Manager was appointed to manage all SEC-related activities including accounting guidance and periodic reporting.

In the first quarter of 2007, the Company undertook a review to ensure that the finance, accounting and tax functions are staffed in accordance with the required competencies. Since that time, the Finance organization has been strengthened by the addition of personnel, (including revenue analysts, tax manager, senior accountants, and a Director of Accounting) to address complex accounting and financial reporting requirements and has substantially filled its hiring objectives.

·	On May 23, 2007, the Company appointed a Director of Internal Audit. The Director of Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee and has responsibility for directing the internal audit function and leading Sarbanes-Oxley compliance monitoring activities.

The following remedial actions have been initiated and will continue to be implemented after September 29, 2007:

·	Additional training has been provided to finance, accounting and tax professionals regarding new and evolving areas in U.S. GAAP.

·	The Company implemented a process designed to ensure the timely documentation, review, and approval of complex accounting transactions by qualified accounting personnel.

·	The Company requires that analysis of all significant or non-routine transactions must be documented, reviewed, and approved by senior financial management.

Revenue Recognition

The following remedial actions have been initiated and will continue to be implemented after December 29, 2007:

·	Supported by the services of subject matter experts and consultants, the Company’s revenue recognition policy was strengthened in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to include:

o	Enhanced documentation requirements to support revenue transactions and their related accounting treatment;

o	Tightening of necessary approvals on any departures from standard terms and conditions on sales and service agreements to include senior financial and legal management;

o	Clarification of revenue recognition treatment on distributor equipment transactions.

·	Additional training regarding revenue recognition practices was provided to all sales personnel worldwide in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Special training to communicate and strengthen understanding of the revised revenue recognition policy will be conducted in fiscal 2008.

Internal controls, as they relate to our European operation, have been strengthened and reinforced through additional training and supervision, the addition of a full-time European revenue analyst, changes to credit practices, and other control measures. In addition, certain personnel changes and realignment of work responsibilities will be implemented.

- 45 -

·	Revenue recognition processes have been restructured to increase sales and accounting personnel participation earlier in the process and improve delivery of key information on equipment transaction terms and conditions.

·	Review and monitoring controls at Corporate-Finance on equipment transactions involving foreign operations have been enhanced, including periodic confirmation of key terms with customers.

Account Reconciliations

The following remedial actions have been initiated and will continue to be implemented after December 29, 2007:

·	Additional training of European accounting personnel to ensure that key account reconciliations are performed, documented, reviewed and approved as part of the monthly financial close process.

·	Review and monitoring controls over key account reconciliations involving foreign operations have been enhanced to include detailed reviews of monthly reconciliations and supporting documentation by senior Corporate-Finance personnel.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the foregoing measures to remediate the material weaknesses described above, certain of which were not fully implemented as of September 29,2007, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 29, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

During the nine months ended September 29, 2007, other than the matters disclosed below, there have been no material changes to legal proceedings from those considered in our Annual Report on From 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 25, 2007.

In August 2007, an Arbitrator from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution issued a partial award against the Company and in favor of Reda National Company (“Reda”), a former Company distributor operating in the Middle East. Reda claims that the Company breached an exclusive distributor agreement by entering into a distribution agreement with another party covering the same territory assigned to Reda. Reda has claimed damages totaling approximately $9.7 million. In the partial award the Arbitrator found that the Company had breached its agreement with Reda and found the Company liable to Reda for arbitration costs, attorneys’ fees, and incidental expenses incurred by Reda in connection with the arbitration. The Arbitrator also ordered that a further hearing to determine additional damages, if any, would be scheduled. The damages hearing was held in December 2007 and the parties are awaiting the finding of the Arbitrator. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to Reda’s damages claim and has vigorously contested the claim.
