Item 1. Business.

General

Presstek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Presstek,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) maintain principal executive offices at 10 Glenville Street, Greenwich, CT 06831. The Company’s website is www.presstek.com.

Presstek was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1987. The Company is a leading manufacturer and marketer of environmentally-friendly digital-based offset printing solutions. These products are engineered to provide a streamlined workflow that shortens the print cycle time, reduces overall production costs, and meets the market’s increasing demand for fast turnaround high quality short run color printing.

Our products include DI® digital offset presses and printing plates, computer-to-plate (“CTP”) systems, workflow solutions, chemistry-free printing plates, no preheat thermal CTP plates and a complete line of prepress and press room consumables. We also offer a range of technical services for our customers.

Presstek’s former subsidiary, Lasertel, Inc. (“Lasertel”), manufactures semiconductor laser diodes for Presstek and external customer applications. As discussed further in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on March 5, 2010, Presstek sold Lasertel to SELEX Galileo Inc. (SELEX). As a subsidiary of SELEX and in accordance with a supply agreement established between Lasertel and Presstek on March 5, 2010, Lasertel will continue to manufacture and supply semiconductor laser diodes to Presstek for an initial period of three years. Prior to the sale this subsidiary was classified as a discontinued operation.

Background

Since its incorporation in 1987 Presstek has served the commercial print segment of the graphic communications industry by offering innovative digital offset printing solutions for commercial printing applications. We:

·	invented the technology that enables DI® presses;

·	invented chemistry-free printing plates;

·	have significantly streamlined the print production workflow;

·	have helped transition offset printing from a craft-based manual process to an automated manufacturing process; and

·	plan to continue to innovate by providing high quality fully integrated digital solutions and services.

Primary Markets

Presstek serves the global print market. The two primary opportunities for Presstek’s solutions lie in the commercial and in-plant segments.

Commercial markets include companies that provide printing and print-related services, such as design, prepress, and bindery, on a print-for-pay basis. Many firms in the commercial printing industry have some type of process expertise or geographic focus. This market is further segmented by employee size and by equipment capability (e.g. format size or type of equipment).

The in-plant market includes departments that provide copying and printing services to support the primary business of a company or organization. These are companies whose primary business includes anything other than printing (e.g., insurance, manufacturing, financial services, education, or government).

- 3 -

Historically, Presstek has primarily served smaller commercial printers with less than 20 employees as well as the in-plant printing market. However, recent and planned new products introductions have enabled the company to also serve the needs of larger commercial printers.

Presstek believes that new product developments will enable equipment placements in select vertical markets such as mailing and fulfillment and packaging.

Market Trends

The printing market is shifting to increasingly faster production of smaller order quantities (shorter runs of 5,000 copies or less) with an increasing use of color. Key trends include the following:

·	33% of all print jobs are expected to require a 24-hour turnaround;

·	80% of four-color jobs are now produced in runs of less than 5,000; and

·	Approximately 90% of digital printing is non-personalized, and can be produced on a DI® press.

Providing Solutions for New Market Requirements

Presstek offers a range of products to meet these changing market demands including DI® digital offset presses and chemistry-free as well as chemistry-based CTP systems. Presstek’s 34DI® and 52DI® presses are two-page formatted presses that incorporate Presstek’s ProFire® Excel laser imaging technology, unique press design, and thermal plates. The new Presstek 75DI®, a six-page format press incorporates Presstek’s next-generation imaging technology and thermal plates. This new imaging technology utilizes a single lens imaging concept in which all diodes image through a single lens resulting in improved image quality and even easier makeready. All of Presstek’s DI® digital offset presses are optimized to print high quality runs of 500 to 20,000.

Market studies indicate the number of print jobs with run lengths of 20,000 and below are increasing, while the frequency of longer run length jobs is decreasing. DI® presses fit well into print businesses that are experiencing this trend. These businesses, which include commercial print shops, quick printers, franchise shops, digital printers and in-plants, utilize DI® presses to profitably meet this run length requirement, according to research from industry consulting firm InfoTrends.

Presstek’s DI® presses are automated print production systems. Digital files are sent to the offset printing press where all printing plates (one for each color) are imaged on-press in precise register, resulting in a highly streamlined digital workflow that is designed to allow the fastest way to finished offset press sheets.

With our CTP solutions, digital files are sent directly from the prepress workflow to the plate-imaging device; the plates are imaged off line, and then mounted on a conventional offset press. Presstek introduced the concept of chemistry-free printing to the market and this more environmentally friendly and efficient manner of producing offset printing plates remains an important focus of our marketing activities.

Presstek offers two open platform CTP plates. The first, Aurora Pro, is a chemistry-free plate that offers run lengths of up to 50,000. Aurora Pro is designed for printers that support the short-run color market and want to offer environmentally friendly printing. The second, Aeon, is a no preheat thermal plate that offers run lengths to 200,000 and up to a 1,000,000 with an optional post-bake. Aeon is targeted to the mid and large commercial print market. Both Aurora Pro and Aeon work on a range of external drum 830nm platesetters from various manufacturers and are compatible with Presstek’s Compass and Dimension Pro CTP solutions.

Organizational Structure

To better address the worldwide print market, Presstek has aligned its resources into three strategic product lines. This structure allows the Company to continue to focus on its traditional base of small commercial and in-plant customers, while expanding the range of products it can bring to market around the world. This structure is also designed to better position the Company to more effectively address the needs of larger commercial printers. These strategic product lines are:

·	Digital Printing, which includes DI® digital offset presses, digital toner presses, inkjet printers, consumables and workflow;

·	CTP, which is responsible for digital platemaking systems, consumables and workflow; and

·	Traditional, which operates as a graphic arts dealer for Presstek products such as polyester CTP platemaking and other partners’ products for our customers.

Geographic Structure

Presstek supplies equipment, service and supplies to support the worldwide print market; currently 65% of Presstek’s revenues come from the United States, 11% from the United Kingdom and 24% from other various countries. To facilitate growth we have established three sales regions to bring integrated solutions to local markets. The three sales regions are:

·	EAMER (Europe, Africa, Middle East Region);

·	Americas (North America and Latin America); and

·	APAC (Asia Pacific).

Our Business Segments

Commencing with the second quarter of fiscal 2010, our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), reflect that we conduct business in one industry segment. Prior to the sale of Lasertel on March 5, 2010, we conducted business in two segments: the Presstek segment, and the Lasertel segment. On September 24, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Lasertel subsidiary; as such we have presented the results of operations of this subsidiary as discontinued operations in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Presstek segment is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, sales, distribution, and servicing of digital offset printing solutions to the printing and communications industries. The Lasertel segment was primarily engaged in the manufacture and development of high-powered laser diodes for a variety of industry segments.

For an analysis of our assets by business segment as well as revenue from sales to external customer and long-lived assets by geographic area, see Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Presstek Segment

The Presstek segment provides research, new product development, systems integration, equipment manufacturing and plate manufacturing. It also serves as the center for marketing, sales and service for our digital offset printing solutions as well as the distribution of our third-party products.

Our products are sold to end-user customers through either our direct sales force, our dealer channel, or through original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), partners. We also have an established portfolio of pressroom supplies and consumables which is sold through our direct sales channel and our web storefront.

Presstek-branded equipment is serviced either by our direct service organization or by our dealer channel. Our direct service organization primarily serves customers located in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Manufacturing

At our 165,000 square-foot facility in Hudson, New Hampshire, we (i) manufacture ProFire® Digital Media, PearlDry® Plus, and PearlDry® printing plates, (ii) assemble the ProFire® Excel imaging kits that are incorporated into 34DI® and 52DI® presses, (iii) assemble next generation 75DI® imaging kits, (iv) assemble the Dimension® Excel series, Vector FL52 and the ABDick®-branded Digital PlateMaster® system, and (v) conduct finishing operations for a portion of our aluminum-based Presstek Aeon CTP plates. Our DI® presses are assembled, including the integration of our proprietary imaging kits, by a third party equipment manufacturer using our intellectual property and to our specifications.

Plate manufacturing at our Hudson facility uses vacuum deposition technology to create ultra-thin imaging layers. We have a state-of-the-art solution coater capable of handling aqueous or solvent-based fluids with best available environmental controls throughout the process. Polyethylene terephthalate substrates are laminated to aluminum webs (“spools”) using electron beam curing technology. This eliminates the need for environmental emissions from a drying process. We utilize full converting capability, which provides high-speed slitting, spooling, formatting and final packaging. The Hudson facility also includes finishing operations for our DI® plates and our Aeon® CTP plates.

At our 100,000 square-foot facility located in South Hadley, Massachusetts, we manufacture aluminum-based printing plates, including chemistry-free Presstek-branded Anthem® Pro, Freedom® Pro and Aurora® Pro digital printing plates. The aluminum plate manufacturing includes in-line graining, anodizing, silicating, and multiple layer coatings. Raw aluminum is processed into lithographic printing plates for digital markets.

Distribution

Our sales strategy is designed to emphasize the distribution of Presstek’s DI® presses and CTP solutions and related consumables, as well as a full portfolio of conventional products. These products are offered to customers through our direct sales force, independent graphic arts dealers and strategic OEM partners. We have an established distribution networks in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. In 2010, we continued to expand our dealer network in our EAMER and APAC regions to 56 and 16 dealers, respectively. We plan to continue to strengthen our position by growing our international dealer network.

Service and Support

Presstek also has an established service organization throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom to service its equipment. In other regions, Presstek authorized dealers are the primary source of service, with Presstek providing training and advanced technical support.

The Lasertel Segment

The Lasertel segment was a developer and manufacturer of high-powered laser diodes. These diodes are used in Presstek’s 34DI® and 52 DI® presses and the Dimension Excel Series of CTP systems. Lasertel also provided laser diodes to external customers for applications in different industries, such as defense, medical, and graphics. Lasertel operated in a leased 40,000 square-foot facility located in Tucson, AZ. Lasertel was a vertically integrated manufacturer of laser diode-based components and systems.

Strategy

Our vision is to be a leading provider of digital offset printing solutions to the global graphic communications industry. Our business strategy is to offer innovative digital imaging and plate technologies that address the opportunities of today and tomorrow in the commercial and in-plant printing markets across the globe.

This strategy includes several imperatives:

1. Focus on the growth of our consumables product line.

Presstek provides digital offset solutions that aid printers in meeting the changing needs of today’s market – environmentally-friendly, shorter run lengths, faster turn-around times, and more color. Our DI® presses and CTP solutions use our chemistry-free printing plates. With our direct sales force and network of dealers, we feel we are well positioned to expand our installed base of these solutions. A key step in growing our consumables business is to develop printing plates that can be imaged on non-Presstek manufactured devices. The first step in executing this “open platform” strategy was the launch in late 2008 of Aurora® Pro, our open-platform, chemistry-free printing plate, which is designed to be used on thermal CTP systems marketed by other manufacturers. In 2009 we introduced Aeon, a thermal CTP plate having run lengths of approximately 200,000 impressions unbaked, and 1,000,000 impressions with post-baking. By marketing a printing plate capable of longer run lengths, we are able to pursue larger customers, which is an important element of our Company’s strategy. We are also focused on stemming the erosion, caused by technology shifts, of our traditional consumables sales (ink, pressroom and proofing supplies, etc.) and believe that we can help achieve this goal by selling these products along with our digital plates.

2. Emphasize attractive market segments.

Large print providers were the first to adopt digital technology, and they have driven the digital transformation of the commercial printing market. Today the benefits of a digital workflow are well understood and all segments of the commercial print market are adopting digital technologies. With our range of digital solutions and the strength of our direct sales and service force, as well as our dealer network, we are focusing on the following market segments:

Commercial printers. Printers need to improve their response time, increase their production capacity, improve efficiency and provide high quality output while improving profitability. Many commercial printers, particularly small and mid size printers (generally those with less than 20 employees) have demonstrated success with our digital offset products, with success being defined as improved productivity, improved profitability and business growth. These printers are often acquiring their first four-color offset press when they acquire a Presstek product. However, Presstek is also enhancing and growing its product offerings to provide similar benefits to larger printers. DI® presses are engineered to produce print runs between 500 and 20,000 images at a very high quality with a very low cost per page. Since market demands are shifting to require an increasing number of jobs with run lengths in this range, it is leaving a gap in the production portfolio of many larger commercial print shops. They can efficiently produce very short-runs (less than 500) on their toner devices, and runs of 20,000 or more on their conventional offset presses. We believe that larger print shops can be more profitable producing a run of 500 to 20,000 on a Presstek’s DI®. Presstek believes that larger printers will increasingly look at DI® presses to fill this production gap in their equipment portfolio.

- 7 -

Digital printers and copy shops. These facilities that primarily operate toner-based digital printing equipment are acquiring DI® presses as complementary devices. They are using DI® presses for jobs that require run lengths greater than 500 copies, a higher level of quality, or a substrate (coated stock, thick stock, plastics, etc.) that cannot be effectively produced on a toner-based device. They are also combining digital toner devices and DI® presses into one workflow to create certain print jobs more profitably. For example, they may produce a high quality color direct mail piece on the DI® press, then add a personalized message or pURL (personal URL) using their toner device. The result is a high quality personalized piece affordably produced.

In-plant print shops that operate within corporations, colleges and universities and government agencies. These print shops are attracted to the ease-of-use, compact footprint and environmentally responsible nature of our solutions. It is becoming increasingly important that these shops be self-sustaining. The productivity, efficiency and versatility of Presstek solutions helps in-plants reach this goal.

3. Focus on key growth areas.

Growth within the existing market segments that Presstek serves today. Historically, Presstek has served print shops with less than 20 employees, and this segment makes up approximately 75% of the industry (i.e., number of printers). Many of these printers have not yet fully embraced digital printing technologies. In addition, owners of existing DI® presses and CTP systems will be looking to add capacity or to upgrade their capabilities (i.e., upgrade a 34DI® press to a 52DI® press, a 52DI® to a 52DI®-AC or a 75DI® press, a semi-automated CTP system to a fully automated solution, or add Latitude, a PDF workflow solution).

Growth up-market to larger print shops. As print buyers request more jobs in the 500 to 20,000 run length range with faster turnaround times, larger shops often need to outsource these jobs or run them inefficiently on their larger offset presses or toner presses. A Presstek DI® press is a good solution for these shops, because it allows them to bridge the production gap between the high-end of toner devices (~500) and the low-end of conventional offset presses (~20,000). DI® presses also use offset ink and print on standard paper (as well as many other substrates) so output is easily matched to the production of larger presses. The DI® press may also open up new opportunities for the larger print shop.

Growth of CTP consumables. It is estimated that the worldwide digital offset printing plate market in fiscal 2010 was $3.9 billion. This market is expected to grow by as much as 15% to $4.5 billion by 2014 based on research from Vantage Strategic Marketing. Presstek plans to further penetrate this large consumables market by aggressively marketing its expanding range of CTP plates. These plates will work on both Presstek and third party imaging devices. Aurora Pro and Aeon are examples of “open platform” products that fit into this area of growth.

Growth in geographic regions. The largest portion of Presstek’s sales has historically come from the United States and Canada. The largest portion of the worldwide print market, however, is outside North America. Presstek has established three sales regions; Americas, EAMER, and APAC, to establish proper distribution by region and to help develop solutions that fit each market’s specific requirements.

4. Enable customers to better compete by offering diverse range of products.

Because our goal is to provide high quality, fully integrated digital solutions and services that form an all-encompassing relationship with our customers, we deliver solutions that allow printers to differentiate their print businesses in a competitive marketplace. Presstek’s products can be divided into two primary categories: DI® presses and plates and CTP systems, along with the supplies and services that they require. Ease of use, environmentally friendly chemistry-free imaging, and a small footprint are common benefits of the two product lines.

- 8 -

Our DI® presses, the Presstek 34DI®, Presstek 52DI® and Presstek 75DI®, allow printers to offer high quality offset printing on a wide range of substrates at run lengths starting at 500 sheets for a highly competitive cost per sheet. DI® presses are able to do this because of their short make-ready time and reduction of production steps, which is possible because of three Presstek technologies—laser imaging, press design, and DI® plate technology—working in unison to create an optimized printing system. Aqueous coating further enhances DI capability by allowing customers to add an aqueous based coating that enhances not only the cosmetics of the printed sheet (satin, matte and gloss finishes), but also the durability, since the coating protects the image when handled or mailed. The fast drying tendency of aqueous coating also facilitates faster turnaround time allowing jobs to be quickly moved to the bindery process.

Presstek offers a full range of CTP systems, from a two-page polyester system to an eight-page fully automated thermal plate system. In December 2009, Presstek launched Aeon, an aluminum-based no preheat thermal plate that provides added durability for larger, high production environments. Aeon, a chemical-based plate, is a longer run plate solution with the capability of printing over 200,000 impressions unbaked and as many as one million impressions with an optional post bake.

Presstek has also expanded its workflow offerings by partnering with third parties. This allows users to better implement Presstek’s DI® and CTP solutions while improving the flow of jobs through production. An example of this is the agreement signed with EskoArtwork Odystar to offer a PDF workflow solution; Presstek markets this product as Latitude.

5. Provide solutions that meet the growth in demand for short-run, fast turnaround high quality color printing.

Much of the print industry’s decline in shipment volume has been in long-run printed documents. Short-run printing is actually mainstream. Short-run printing weighs on the capital base that was purchased to produce long-run printing, and until that installed base is replaced, profits are negatively affected. Presstek has a unique opportunity and position in the reshaping of the printing industry's workflow and production methods. Presstek as a company, and print as a medium, are at a fascinating crossroads of technology, market opportunities, and competition. The Company's products allow printers to compress their workflow to eliminate costly steps, leveraging the modern content creator’s capabilities to make better, richer, and more predictable printable files, according to market research commissioned by Presstek and conducted by industry consultant Dr. Joseph Webb of Strategies for Management.

6. Provide environmentally responsible solutions.

Our thermally imaged chemistry-free plate technologies are designed to provide both a streamlined workflow and an environmentally responsible solution. Not only are we contributing to a cleaner and safer printing operation, environmental responsibility is sound business practice in that our DI® and CTP solutions reduce labor needs, reduce space requirements, eliminate plate-oriented waste disposal, and result in fewer manufacturing process errors.

Technology

Imaging Technology

Presstek developed the imaging technology for the world's first DI® press. Since 1987, we have continuously improved on this technology. Today we offer our fourth generation of imaging technology which we call ProFire® Excel on our Presstek 34DI®and Presstek 52DI® digital offset presses. The ProFire® Excel system has three major components: the laser diode system, made up of four-beam laser diodes and laser drivers; the integrated motion system that controls the placement of the laser diodes; and the digital controller and data server. The image data board of the ProFire® Excel controls 16-micron diodes with patented Image Plus technology. Among the advantages of Image Plus is a writing mode that increases image quality while significantly reducing moiré patterns in standard

screen sets, allowing for a range of FM (stochastic) screening options. The Presstek 75DI® press incorporates significant technological advances, including utilization of new on-press imaging technology. This next-generation imaging technology utilizes a single lens imaging concept in which all diodes image through a single lens resulting in improved image quality and even easier makeready.

The laser diodes that we use for our ProFire® Excel imaging system are manufactured by Lasertel and other suppliers. We assemble supplier-manufactured laser imaging modules into imaging kits that are designed for DI® press or Dimension Excel CTP units. These kits are then incorporated into DI® printing presses, by our manufacturing partner, or into CTP systems assembled at our Hudson, New Hampshire facility.

Before direct-to-plate imaging, platemaking and prepress activities had occurred separately in the printing operation, primarily using analog film-based technology, chemical processing and manual skill-based processes. Conventional or analog printing plates are produced using labor-intensive and chemical-intensive, multi-step processes. By consolidating or eliminating process steps required to prepare a digital file for printing, Presstek’s DI® presses and CTP systems deliver efficiencies that allow increased print productivity at a lower cost and with better quality than conventional offset methods. At the same time, by imaging chemistry-free plates, Presstek products eliminate the reliance on the chemical processing that is generally associated with imaging traditional printing plates. In addition to being more efficient to operate, our solutions are more environmentally responsible than traditional methods of printing. The result is higher quality, faster turnaround offset printing with a lower cost of operation that is also environmentally safe.

Plate Technology

We manufacture digital printing plates for both on-press imaging with DI® presses and off-press imaging with CTP printing applications. Presstek manufactured plates are based on our patented chemistry-free thermal imaging technology. Our printing plates respond to heat generated by high-powered lasers (thermal imaging) using ablation and sub-ablation processes.

Thermal ablation refers to the process in which the thermal laser ablates (removes) areas of the emulsion while the plate is being imaged. This is the method employed in Presstek’s plates. Plates that are imaged using thermal ablation typically consist of a basic substrate such as a grained aluminum plate or polyester, an oleophilic (ink receptive) imaging layer, and an ink-rejecting micro porous hydrophilic (water receptive) layer.

The high-powered laser of the imaging system selectively burns tiny holes in the thin plate coating, causing it to burst away from the base. This technique thus requires the imaging system to be equipped with a means of collecting the debris, typically a vacuum with filters. The result is a high-contrast image that can be examined and measured prior to mounting on a printing press.

The Presstek 34DI® images all four chemistry-free printing plates on press in 4.5 minutes in precise register at 2540 dpi and supports up to 300 lpi and FM screening. The press’ design, using Zero Transfer Printing technology, results in consistent quality, an exceptionally fast make-ready time and reliable handling across a wide range of substrates. The 34DI® has a maximum operating speed of 7,000 full size sheets per hour which is the equivalent of 14,000 letter-sized sheets.

Both the Presstek 52DI® and 34DI® can be equipped with the DI® Ultra Violet (“UV”) option. The UV option converts a standard DI® press to a UV press. UV presses are well-suited for printing on non-porous materials such as plastics and foils.

DI® Plates

ProFire® Digital Media

ProFire® Digital Media is designed to work as a system with the laser imaging and press components of ProFire® and ProFire® Excel enabled DI® presses (such as the Presstek 34DI®, 52DI® and 75DI®). ProFire® Digital Media for DI® presses is rated for 20,000 impressions. It is manufactured with an ink-accepting polyester base layer, a middle layer of titanium, and a top layer of silicone. During imaging, the heat from lasers removes the top two layers of the plate, exposing the ink receptive polyester layer. Areas that remain covered with the top layer of silicone will repel the ink. The imaging process is a highly consistent, heat sensitive, physical reaction without the variables of exposure and chemistry. The result is sharper and better-defined details and halftone dots. ProFire® Digital Media supports 300lpi and FM screening.

PearlDry® Plus

Formulated in a similar fashion as ProFire® Digital media, PearlDry® Plus is designed to work in conjunction with previous generation DI® presses. In conjunction with Presstek’s direct-to-press imaging, PearlDry® Plus allows presses to produce a high resolution, 21 micron spot and supports print quality up to a 200-line screen. For DI® applications, PearlDry® Plus is delivered in polyester-based spools. PearlDry® Plus is rated for 20,000 impressions.

Competition

The markets for our products are characterized by evolving industry standards and business models, rapid software and hardware technology developments and frequent new product introductions. Our future success will depend on our ability to enhance our existing products, introduce new products in a timely and cost-effective manner, meet changing customer needs, extend our core technology into new applications, and anticipate and respond to emerging standards, business models and other technological changes.

- 13 -

We believe that our patented technologies, other intellectual property, thermal plate manufacturing facilities, strategic alliances, distribution network and knowledge of the marketplace puts us in a strong position to compete in today’s market. Several other companies, however, address markets in which our products are used and have products that are competitive.

Most of the companies marketing competitive products, or with the potential to do so, are well established, have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than us, and have established records in the development, sale and servicing of products. There can be no assurance that any of our products or any products incorporating our technology will be able to compete successfully in the future.

DI® Presses

Potential competition for DI® presses comes from several areas including manufacturers of high-end electrophotographic and inkjet technology as well as manufacturers of conventional offset printing presses.

Manufacturers of high-end electrophotographic technology include, among others, Canon Inc., Hewlett Packard Company, Ricoh Company, Ltd., Eastman Kodak Company, and Xerox Corporation. These electrophotographic imaging systems use either liquid or dry toners to create one to four (or more) color images on paper and typically offer resolutions of between 400 and 1200 dots per inch. These technologies are generally best suited for ultra-short-runs of less than 500 copies or for printing variable data.

Manufacturers of high-end inkjet technology include, Fujifilm Corporation, Xerox Corporation, Hewlett Packard, Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd., and Eastman Kodak Company. These devices are new to the market and use inkjet technology to produce color images up to 1200dpi. These devices generally require a special treated paper.

Manufacturers of conventional offset printing presses include, among others, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA), Sakurai USA, Inc., Ryobi Limited (“Ryobi”) and Manroland AG. The level of automation on new presses is improving and when combined with an automated CTP system an effective workflow can be established. We believe that conventional offset is best suited for production runs of 20,000 or longer. The quality of print from a conventional offset press will depend on the skill of the operator as well as the process the print establishment uses to deliver the plate to the press.

Screen Dainippon Screen Graphics (USA), LLC offers the Truepress 344 press. This press is an A3 four color digital offset press that prints up to 7,000 impressions per hour with a conventional wet offset process.

The Presstek 34DI® also competes against the Ryobi 3404DI for end user sales. Ryobi is an OEM partner of Presstek and the Ryobi 3404DI uses Presstek’s imaging technology, printing plates and press design.

VIM Technologies, Ltd., an Israeli company (“VIM”), has been selling a plate for DI® presses. During 2009, in an action initiated by the Company against VIM and several of its North American dealers, the United States International Trade Commission ruled that the VIM printing plates infringe Presstek’s valid and enforceable patents and banned the importation of the VIM plates into the United States. Also during 2009, the Regional Court in Dusseldorf, Germany ruled that the VIM plates infringe Presstek’s valid and enforceable patents, and ordered VIM plate sales in Germany halted, and this ruling was upheld on appeal.

These competitive plates could have an impact on Presstek’s revenue. They could also lead to downward pricing pressure on our full line of spooled consumable products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

- 14 -

Computer-to-Plate

Most of the major companies in the industry have developed or sourced off-press CTP imaging systems. Potential competitors in this area include, among others, Agfa, Kodak, Screen, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. (“Fuji”), and Heidelberg, combinations of these companies, and other smaller or lesser-known companies. Many of these devices utilize printing plates that require a post-imaging photochemical developing step and/or other post processing steps such as post bake treatment.

We are seeing competition from printing plate companies that manufacture, or have the potential to manufacture, digital thermal plates. Such companies include, among others, Agfa, Kodak, and Fuji. Some companies, including Agfa, Kodak, and Fuji, have announced or released plates that reportedly eliminate the need for post image chemical processing.

Products incorporating our technologies can also be expected to face competition from products using conventional methods of creating and printing plates and producing printed product. While these methods are considered to be more costly, less efficient and not as environmentally conscious as those we implement, they do offer their users the ability to continue to employ their existing means of print and plate production. Companies offering these more traditional means and methods are also refining these technologies to make them more acceptable to the market.

Supplies

The broad portfolio of equipment, supplies, and service added to our portfolio through the acquisition of assets of the A.B. Dick Company (the “A.B. Dick Acquisition”) in 2004 has several competitors. In addition to those mentioned above, competitors include for Prepress: ECRM and RIPit; for Press: Ryobi, Hamada, Xerox Corporation, Canon Inc., Ricoh Company, Ltd. and Hewlett Packard Company; for Service: General Binding Corp., Kodak, Service On Demand and some independent providers; for Dealers: Xpedx, Pitman and Fuji Graphic Systems.

Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Rights

Our general policy has been to seek patent protection for those inventions and improvements likely to be incorporated into our products and services or where proprietary rights will improve our competitive position. As of January 1, 2011, our worldwide patent portfolio included over 400 patents. We believe these patents, which expire from 2011 through 2026, are material in the aggregate to our business. We have applied for and are pursuing applications for 16 additional U.S. patents and 8 foreign patents. We have registered, or applied to register, certain trademarks in the U.S. and other countries, including Presstek, DI®, Dimension, ProFire®, Anthem®, Aeon, and PearlDry®. We anticipate that we will apply for additional patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as deemed appropriate.

We rely on proprietary know-how and employ various methods to protect our source code, concepts, trade secrets, ideas and the documentation of our proprietary software and laser diode technology. Such methods, however, may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop such know-how or obtain access to our know-how, software codes, concepts, trade secrets, ideas, and documentation.

We also protect our intellectual property by instituting legal proceedings against parties suspected of infringing on the Company’s legally protected patent and trademark rights.

- 15 -

Research and Development

Research and development expenses related to our continued development of products incorporating DI® and CTP technologies were $4.3 million, $5.0 million and $5.1 million in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. These research and development expenditures are related to the continuing operations of the Presstek segment. Additionally, the Company capitalizes costs related to the design and development of prototypes by third parties that incorporate Presstek products and technology. Capitalized development costs were $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $0.1 million in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

Environmental Protection

The Company is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters. In the United States, federal laws and state regulatory programs having an impact on the Company include: the Toxic Substances Control Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Clean Water Act; and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.

It is the Company’s policy to carry out its business activities in a manner consistent with sound health, safety and environmental management practices, and to comply with applicable health, safety and environmental laws and regulations. The Company continues to engage in programs for environmental, health and safety protection and control.

Based upon information presently available, future costs associated with environmental compliance are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position. Such costs, however, could be material to results of operations in a particular future quarter or year.

Backlog

We sell our products under standard sales orders and dealer contracts. Customer orders are generally filled within a short time period, and therefore our backlog, at any point in time, is minimal.

Employees

At January 1, 2011, we had 503 employees worldwide. Of these, 27 are engaged primarily in engineering, research and development; 107 are engaged in sales and marketing; 206 are engaged in service and customer support; 104 are engaged primarily in manufacturing, manufacturing engineering and quality control; and 59 are engaged primarily in corporate management, administration and finance.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Certain of the statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (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 Exchange Act. Words such as “believe(s),” “should,” “plan,” “expect(s),” “project(s),” “anticipate(s),” “may,” “likely,” “potential,” “opportunity” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. 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.

Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made and readers are advised to consider such forward-looking statements in light of the risks set forth below. Presstek undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Significant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations or otherwise impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations include, without limitation, the following risks:

Current economic conditions and future market disruptions may adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations. Adverse economic conditions in the United States and internationally, leading to reduced capital spending, may adversely impact our business.

A substantial portion of our business depends on our customers’ demand for our products and services, the overall economic health of our current and prospective customers, and general economic conditions. As widely reported, financial markets throughout the world experienced extreme disruption in the past three years, including extreme volatility in securities prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others, failure and potential failures of major financial institutions and unprecedented government support of financial institutions and large businesses. These developments and the continuing effects of the related general economic downturn have and will adversely impact the Company’s business and financial condition in a number of ways, including impacts beyond those typically associated with other recent downturns in the U.S. and foreign economies. The slowdown has caused reduced capital spending by end users, which has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s product sales. Additional cost reduction actions may be necessary which would lead to additional restructuring charges. The tightening of credit in financial markets and the general economic downturn has, and will likely continue to, adversely affect the ability of the Company’s customers, suppliers, outsource manufacturers and channel partners (e.g., dealers and resellers) to obtain financing for significant purchases. The tightening could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for the Company’s products and services, could negatively impact the Company’s ability to collect its accounts receivable on a timely basis, could result in additional reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable being required, and in the event of continued contraction in the Company’s sales, could lead to dated inventory and require additional reserves for obsolescence.

The Company is unable to predict the pace, strength, or duration of recovery from the economic downturn and disruption in financial markets or their future effects on the Company’s business and results of operations, but the consequences of a slow or weak recovery or future downturn may be materially adverse.

- 19 -

Foreign exchange rates may adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

Significant volatility and fluctuations in the rates of exchange for the U.S. dollar against currencies such as the Euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen could negatively impact the Company’s customer pricing, purchase price of sourced product, and adversely affect the Company’s financial results.

We are substantially dependent on our manufacturing and distribution relationships to produce products and to develop and grow our business. The loss or failure of one or more of these partners could significantly harm our business.

Our business strategy includes working with manufacturing and distribution partners to produce our products on an OEM basis and to aid in developing new market channels for our products. We are dependent on many of these partners for the supply of products as well as the future sales of both existing and planned products. This means that the timetable for finalizing development, commercialization and distribution of both existing and planned products is dependent upon the needs and circumstances of our partners. Any delay in meeting production and distribution targets with our partners may harm our relationships with them and may cause them to terminate their relationship with us. Our distribution partners may not develop markets for our products at the pace or in the manner we expect, which may have an adverse effect on our business. Our manufacturing and distribution partners may terminate their relationships with us for reasons beyond our control or we may mutually agree to terminate our relationship. Our partners may also experience disruptions in their ability to manufacture or distribute our products for reasons beyond our control, including factors unique to their businesses, factors that are political in nature and related to their region or country, factors related to acts of war or acts of nature, or factors associated with the current global economic downturn. We cannot be assured that the termination of any of our relationships with our manufacturing and distribution partners, and the disruption of their ability to manufacture and distribute our products will not have an adverse impact on our business in the future.

If we are unable to manage acquisitions successfully it could harm our financial results, business and prospects.

As part of our business strategy, we may expand our business through the acquisition of other businesses. We will need to integrate acquired businesses with our existing operations. We cannot be assured that we will effectively assimilate the business or product offerings of acquired companies into our business or product offerings. Integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies into our existing operations may result in difficulties and expense, disrupt our business or divert management’s time and attention. If we are unable to successfully integrate future acquisitions, it could adversely impact our competitiveness and profitability. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including potential exposure to unknown liabilities of acquired companies and the possible loss of key employees and customers of the acquired business. In connection with acquisitions or joint venture investments outside the U.S., we may be subject to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations.

Our business strategy may include the licensing or acquisition of technologies, which entail a number of risks.

As part of our strategy to grow our business, we may license technologies from third parties. We may not be successful in integrating the acquired technology into our existing business to achieve the desired results.

Our lengthy and variable sales cycle makes it difficult for us to predict when or if sales will occur and therefore we may experience an unplanned shortfall in revenues. A shortfall in anticipated revenues may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Many of our products have a lengthy and unpredictable sales cycle that contributes to the unpredictability of our operating results; this issue has been compounded by the economic downturn. Customers view the purchase of our products as a significant capital outlay and, therefore, a strategic decision. As a result, customers generally evaluate these products and determine their impact on existing infrastructure over a lengthy period of time. The sales of our products may be subject to delays if the customer has lengthy internal budgeting, approval and evaluation processes. The severe economic downturn has significantly impacted this decision-making process of many of our customers and prospective customers, and some businesses are either deferring or canceling significant capital purchasing decisions due to the uncertainty of their own financial futures. If revenues anticipated during a particular period are not realized or are delayed, we may experience a shortfall in anticipated revenues, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

- 20 -

We face risks associated with our efforts to expand into international markets.

We intend to continue expanding our global sales operations and enter additional international markets in order to increase market awareness and acceptance of our line of products and generate increased revenues, which will require significant management attention and financial resources. International sales are subject to a variety of risks, including difficulties in establishing and managing international distribution channels, in serving and supporting products sold outside the United States and in translating products and related materials into foreign languages. International operations are also subject to difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, staffing and managing personnel and enforcing intellectual property rights. Other factors that can adversely affect international operations include the impact of local laws and regulations, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies and currency exchange rates, changes in import/export duties and quotas, introduction of tariff or non-tariff barriers and economic or political changes in international markets.

If our international sales increase, our revenues may also be affected to a greater extent by seasonal fluctuations resulting from lower levels of sales that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world. There can be no assurance that these factors will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have experienced losses in the past, could incur substantial losses in the future, and may not be able to maintain profitability.

The Company has sustained significant losses in prior periods. The ability of the Company to generate profits in fiscal year 2011 and beyond is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and effectively manage costs. We may need to generate significant increases in revenues to generate profits, and we may not be able to do so. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate or decrease, or if our operating expenses increase more than we expect or cannot be reduced in the event of lower revenues, our business will be adversely affected. Additionally, future losses could negatively impact our borrowing availability under our existing credit agreement and/or our ability to meet the covenants of our existing credit agreement which could limit our access to additional resources and have a negative affect on our liquidity. Even if we become profitable in the future on a quarterly or annual basis, we may not be able to sustain or increase such profitability year to year.

We have intangible assets, and if we are required to write-down any of these assets, it would reduce our net income, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have intangible assets. Intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360, (originally issued as SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”)). Recoverability of intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Reductions in our net income caused by the write-down of any of these intangible assets could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

- 21 -

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly.

Due primarily to the high value of the Company’s digital off-set presses relative to the amount of our quarterly revenues, our quarterly revenues and operating results are difficult to predict, have varied in the past, and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, our quarterly results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based upon the number of digital off-set presses that are sold in a particular quarter. In addition, we base our current and future expense levels in part on our estimates of future revenues. Our expenses are largely fixed in the short-term and we may not be able to adjust our spending in a timely manner if our revenues fall short of our expectations. Accordingly, a revenue shortfall in a particular quarter would have an adverse effect on our operating results for that quarter. In addition, our quarterly operating results may fluctuate for many other reasons, including, without limitation:

·	a long and unpredictable sales cycle;

·	changes in demand for our products and consumables, including seasonal differences;

·	changes in the mix of our products and consumables; and

·	the continued global economic slowdown.

The current capital and credit market conditions may adversely affect our access to capital, cost of capital and business operations.

The general economic and capital market conditions in the United States and other parts of the world have deteriorated significantly over the past three years, and have adversely affected access to capital and increased the cost of capital. If these conditions continue or become worse, our future access to capital markets could be adversely affected and the cost of debt and equity capital could increase. While the Company has recently established a new three-year credit line, if the need arises for additional financing, any inability to obtain adequate financing from debt and/or equity sources could force us to self-fund capital expenditures and strategic initiatives, forgo some opportunities, or possibly discontinue certain operations.

Our credit agreement requires that we meet certain financial performance metrics and restricts certain activities.

Under the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, the Company is required to meet or exceed certain financial performance metrics. The Company’s failure to achieve these performance metrics would result in a default under the credit agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are restricted under the credit agreement in our ability to enter into certain transactions, and to make certain investments and capital expenditures above established levels. These restrictions, among others in the credit agreement, may restrict our ability to meet our growth and financial performance targets.

We are dependent on third party suppliers for critical components and certain products. Our inability to maintain an adequate supply for these critical components and important products could adversely affect us.

We are dependent on third-party suppliers for critical components and certain important products. Our demand for these components may strain the ability of our third party suppliers to deliver such components and products in a timely manner. For example, we have a requirement for advanced technology laser diodes for use in products incorporating our direct-to-press technology. If we are unable for any reason to secure an uninterrupted source of critical components at prices acceptable to us, our operations could be materially adversely affected. Although an element of our sale of the Lasertel business to SELEX was a laser diode supply agreement with the Company, there can be no assurance that this supplier will become a dependable provider of laser diodes and satisfy the Company’s supply requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain alternative suppliers should our current supply channels prove inadequate.

- 22 -

Our manufacturing capabilities may be insufficient to meet the demand for our products.

If demand for our products grows beyond our expectations, our current manufacturing capabilities may be insufficient to meet this demand, resulting in production delays and a failure to deliver products in a timely fashion. We may be forced to seek alternative manufacturers for our products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully be able to do so. As we introduce new products, we may face production and manufacturing delays due to technical and other unforeseen problems. Any manufacturing delay could have a material adverse effect on our business, the success of any product affected by the delay, and our revenue.

In addition, many of our manufacturing processes are sophisticated and demand specific environmental conditions. Although we take precautions to avoid interruptions in manufacturing and to ensure that the products that are manufactured meet our exacting performance standards, our yields may be affected by difficulties in our manufacturing processes. If such an effect occurs, it could increase manufacturing costs, detrimentally impacting margins, or cause a delay in the finishing and shipping of products.

New products may not be commercially successful and may not gain market acceptance.

As part of the Company’s strategy, we have introduced several new products during the past three years. Achieving and maintaining market acceptance for any product requires substantial marketing and distribution efforts and the dedication of financial and other resources. We may not have sufficient resources to achieve and maintain market acceptance of new products. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our existing product offerings will achieve and maintain market acceptance or that any of our other current products or any future products that we may develop or any future products produced by others that incorporate our technologies will achieve market acceptance or become commercially successful. If these product offerings do not achieve anticipated market acceptance, we may not achieve anticipated revenue and profitability.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal and disclosure controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and disclosures.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and SEC rules require that management report annually on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Among other things, management must conduct an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to audit, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, concludes that as of January 1, 2011 our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Although we exercise significant efforts to maintain effective controls, our continued assessment, or the subsequent assessment by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls or procedures, some of which may require disclosure in future reports.

If we discover other deficiencies it may adversely impact our ability to report accurately and in a timely manner our financial condition and results of operations in the future, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting. Moreover, effective internal and disclosure controls are necessary to produce accurate, reliable financial reports and to detect and prevent fraud.

Our success is partially dependent on our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary rights.

Our future success will depend, in part, upon our intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, trade secrets, proprietary know-how, source codes and continuing technological innovation. We have been issued a number of U.S. and foreign patents and we intend to register for additional patents where we deem appropriate. We also hold several registered trademarks and we may register additional trademarks where we deem appropriate. There can be no assurance, however, as to the issuance of any additional patents or trademarks or the breadth or degree of protection that our patents, trademarks or other intellectual property may afford us. The steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not adequately prevent misappropriation or ensure that others will not develop competitive technologies or products. Further, the laws of certain territories in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

- 23 -

There is rapid technological development in the electronic image reproduction industry, resulting in extensive patent filings and a rapid rate of issuance of new patents. Although we believe that our technology has been independently developed and that the products we market do not infringe the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible that such infringement of existing or future patents or violation of proprietary rights may inadvertently occur.

In this regard, third parties may in the future assert claims against us concerning our existing products or with respect to future products under development by us. In such event, we may be required to modify our product designs or obtain a license. No assurance can be given that we would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions or even at all. The failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we have agreements with several of our partners which require us to indemnify the partner from claims made by third parties against them concerning our intellectual property, and to defend the validity of the patents or otherwise ensure the technology’s availability to the partner. The costs of an indemnification claim under any such agreement could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have taken, are currently taking, and may take in the future, legal action to protect our patent and trademark rights from infringement by others. We have also defended actions brought against us relating to the validity of our patent rights. In the course of pursuing or defending any of these actions we could incur significant costs and diversion of our resources. Due to the competitive nature of our industry, it is unlikely that we could increase our product prices to cover such costs. There can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to successfully defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. Moreover, we may be unable, for financial or other reasons, to enforce our rights under any patents we may own. Such litigation is costly and is subject to uncertain results that could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We also rely on proprietary know-how and employ various methods to protect the source codes, concepts, trade secrets, ideas and documentation relating to our proprietary software and laser diode technology. Such methods, however, may not afford complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop such know-how or obtain access to our know-how or software codes, concepts, trade secrets, ideas and documentation. Although we have and expect to have confidentiality agreements with our employees and appropriate vendors, there can be no assurance, however, that such arrangements will adequately protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how.

We use hazardous materials in the production of many of our products at our various manufacturing facilities.

As a manufacturing company, we are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the use of hazardous materials. The cost of compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations is substantial. Some of our business activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials and we cannot eliminate the risk or potential liability of accidental contamination, release or injury from these materials. In the event of an accident or environmental discharge, we may be held liable for any resulting damages, which may exceed our financial resources and the limits of any insurance coverage, and our production of plates could be delayed indefinitely, which could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face competition in the sale of our products.

We compete with manufacturers of conventional presses and products utilizing existing plate-making technology, as well as presses and other products utilizing new technologies, including other types of direct-to-plate solutions such as companies that employ electrophotography as their imaging technology. Canon Inc., Hewlett Packard Company, Kodak and Xerox Corporation are companies that have introduced color electrophotographic copier products. Various companies are marketing product versions manufactured by these companies.

- 24 -

We also compete with stand-alone CTP imaging devices for single and multi-color applications. Most of the major corporations in the graphic arts industry have developed and are marketing off press CTP imaging systems. To date, devices manufactured by our competitors, for the most part, utilize printing plates that require a post imaging photochemical developing step, and in some cases, also require a heating process. Competitors in this area include, among others, Agfa Gevaert N.V., Screen, Heidelberg, Fuji and Kodak.

We also have competition from plate manufacturing companies that manufacture printing plates, including digital thermal plates. These companies include Agfa Gevaert N.V., Kodak and Fuji. The introduction of a competitive plate could reduce the revenue generated by Presstek and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Products incorporating our technologies can also be expected to face competition from conventional methods of printing and creating printing plates. Most of the companies marketing competitive products, or with the potential to do so, are well established, have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than us and have established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future.

While we believe we have strong intellectual property protection covering many of our technologies, there is no assurance that the breadth or degree of such protection will be sufficient to prohibit or otherwise delay the introduction of competitive products or technologies. The introduction of competitive products and technologies may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not be able to adequately respond to changes in technology affecting the printing industry.

The printing and publishing industry has been characterized in recent years by rapid and significant technological changes and frequent new product introductions. Current competitors or new market entrants could introduce new or enhanced products with features, which render our technologies, or products incorporating our technologies, obsolete or less marketable. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to changing technology and industry standards in a timely and cost-effective manner. We may not be successful in effectively using new technologies, developing new products or enhancing our existing products and technology on a timely basis. Our new technologies or enhancements may not achieve market acceptance. Our pursuit of new technologies may require substantial time and expense.

We may need to license new technologies to respond to technological change. These licenses may not be available to us on terms that we can accept. Finally, we may not succeed in adapting our products to new technologies as they emerge.

Changes in accounting standards could affect our financial results.

New accounting standards or pronouncements that may become applicable to us from time to time, or changes in the interpretation of existing standards and pronouncements, could have a significant effect on our reported results for the affected periods.

The loss or unavailability of our key personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our success is largely dependent on the personal efforts of our senior management team. The loss or interruption of the services of any or all of these individuals could have an adverse effect on our business and prospects.

- 25 -

Our stock price has been and could continue to be extremely volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been subject to significant fluctuations. The securities markets have experienced, and may experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to:

·	actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

·	significant announcements by us or other industry participants;

·	changes in national or regional economic conditions;

·	changes in securities analysts’ estimates for us, our competitors or our industry, or our failure to meet analysts’ expectations; and

·	general market conditions.

These factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In February 2008 we filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (“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. In April 2008 we filed a Complaint against VIM in the Regional Court in Dusseldorf, Germany German court for patent infringement. In April 2009, the Regional Court found Presstek's European patents to be infringed by VIM's illegal plates. The Court ordered VIM and a German distributor named as a defendant in the action to cease all sales of infringing VIM printing plates. The German court ruled that VIM is liable to Presstek for damages, including damages relating to all VIM plate sales in Germany dating back to 2003. VIM appealed this decision. In June, 2010 the Higher Court upheld the Regional Court’s ruling in Presstek’s favor. The case is now in the phase of determining damages. In addition, VIM initiated a separate German court proceeding in the Patent Court seeking to have the Company’s European patents declared invalid. In June 2010 the Patent Court ruled in Presstek’s favor and that proceeding is now concluded.

In April 2009 the Company initiated a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against Eastman Kodak Company (“Kodak”) in which a Company employee and the Company sought to have a non-competition clause under an agreement between the employee and Kodak rendered void under Colorado law. Kodak has counterclaimed for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets. Kodak sought relief in the form of a preliminary injunction, which has been denied by the Court, and is seeking unspecified damages. The Company believes that Kodak’s allegations are without merit. The litigation is in its discovery stage.

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, nor the settlement actions as noted above, to have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operation or financial condition.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in connection with “Item 1. Business”, “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, “Item 6. Selected Financial Data”, “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain terms used in the discussion below are defined in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview of the Company

The Company is a provider of high-technology, digital-based printing solutions to the commercial print segment of the graphic 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 have helped 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 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.

Through our various operations, we:

·	provide advanced digital print solutions through the development, manufacture, and sourcing of digital laser imaging equipment and advanced technology chemistry-free and chemistry-based printing plates, which we call consumables, for commercial and in-plant print providers targeting the growing market for high quality, fast turnaround short-run color printing; and
·	are a leading sales and services company delivering Presstek digital solutions and solutions from other manufacturing partners through our direct sales and service force and through distribution partners worldwide.

We have developed the enabling technology for DI® digital offset presses. DI® presses are Presstek’s proprietary system by which digital images are transferred directly onto printing plates that are already mounted on press. Our advanced DI® presses are a waterless, easy to use, high quality printing press that is fully automated and provides our users with competitive advantages over alternative print technologies. We believe that our DI® digital offset presses, in combination with our proprietary printing plates and streamlined workflow, produces a superior offset printing solution. By combining advanced digital technology with the reliability and economic advantages of offset printing, we believe our customers are better able to grow their businesses, generate higher profits and better serve the needs of their customers.

Similar digital imaging technologies are used in our CTP systems. We also design and manufacture CTP systems that incorporate our technology to image our chemistry-free printing plates. Our chemistry-free digital imaging systems enable customers to produce high quality, full color lithographic printed materials more quickly and cost effectively than conventional methods that employ more complicated workflows and toxic chemical processing. This results in reduced printing cycle time and lowers the effective cost of production for commercial printers. Our solutions make it more cost effective for printers to meet the increasing demand for shorter print runs, higher quality color and faster turn-around times.

- 31 -

We have executed a major transformation in the way we go to market. In the past, we had been reliant on OEM partners to deliver our business solutions to customers. Today, more than 90% of our sales are through our own distribution channels.

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. The addition of these non-proprietary products and our ability to directly sell and service them was made possible by the A.B. Dick acquisition and Precision acquisition, which we completed in 2004.

We currently have one reporting segment; the Presstek segment. Presstek is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, sourcing, 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.

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 March 5, 2010, we conducted business in two segments: the Presstek segment, and the Lasertel segment. Lasertel manufactured and developed high-powered laser diodes and related laser products. On September 24, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a plan to market the Lasertel subsidiary for sale; as such the Company has presented the results of operations of this subsidiary within discontinued operations. On March 5, 2010, the Lasertel subsidiary was sold to SELEX as previously discussed. Commencing with the second quarter of the fiscal 2010, the Company’s reports filed with the SEC reflect that the Company conducts business in one industry segment as a result of its sale of Lasertel.

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.

To complement our direct sales efforts, in certain territories, we maintain relationships with key press manufacturers such as Ryobi, Heidelberg, and KBA, who market printing presses and/or press solutions that use our proprietary consumables.

Another method of growing the market for consumables is to develop and distribute consumables that can be imaged by non-Presstek devices (i.e., “open platform” plates). In addition to expanding the base of our DI® and CTP units, an element of our focus is to reach beyond our proprietary systems and penetrate the installed base of CTP devices in all market segments with our thermal plate offerings. The first step in executing this strategy was the launch of our Aurora Pro chemistry-free printing plate designed to be used with CTP units manufactured by other thermal CTP device manufacturers. In December 2009 we introduced Aeon, a no preheat thermal CTP plate that offers run lengths to 200,000 without baking. We continue to work with other CTP manufacturers to qualify our consumables on their systems. We believe this shift in strategy fundamentally enhances our ability to expand and control our business.

During fiscal 2010 we took a major step forward in our up-market growth strategy with the introduction of the new Presstek 75DI® digital offset press. The 75DI® incorporates Presstek’s next-generation imaging technology and DI® thermal plates into a larger six-page format. This new larger format press, which can also be purchased with integrated aqueous coating capability, will provide us greater access to the up-market, larger customers.

- 32 -

Since 2007, management has been taking steps to improve the Company’s cost structure and strengthen its balance sheet in order to enable Presstek to improve profitability and strengthen its overall financial position. Our reduced cost levels and balance sheet improvements to date are, in large part, the result of our cost reduction initiatives as described in more detail below, as well as a continuing focused effort to review and manage working capital.

Fiscal 2010 Highlights

The worldwide economic conditions continued to adversely impact our business in 2010. Overall commercial print industry volume was low again as companies held back on general advertising and promotional materials, and uncertainty regarding the economy and tightening credit markets led to delays in capital purchase decisions. As a result of the continuing economic crisis, as well as continuing erosion due to technological changes impacting our traditional product business, revenues in fiscal 2010 of $128.6 million were down $5.9 million, or 4.4%, compared to the prior year.

Management Objectives

Our vision is to provide high quality, fully integrated digital solutions and services that enable us to form an all-encompassing relationship with our customers. Our business strategy is to offer innovative digital imaging and plate technologies that address the opportunities of today and tomorrow in the graphic arts and commercial printing markets across the globe.

This strategy includes several imperatives: (1) focus on the growth of our consumables product line; (2) emphasize attractive market segments such as larger print providers and global sales expansion; (3) focus on growing existing segments such as print shops with less than 20 employees, (4) enable customers to better compete by offering a more diverse range of products; (5) continue to expand solutions that meet the growth in demand for short-run, fast turnaround high quality color printing; and (6) provide environmentally responsible solutions through our application of technology.

Cost Reduction Initiatives

Over the last three years, we initiated a series of cost reduction and business improvement initiatives that have involved virtually every aspect of the business. These initiatives have included pricing actions, improved manufacturing efficiencies, increased utilization of field service resources, right-sizing of operating expenses, elimination of the 401(k) company matching contribution, furloughs in certain of the Company’s operating areas and cash flow improvements driven by working capital reductions and the sale of selected real estate assets. The Company has generated approximately $40 million of annualized savings/margin improvements as a result of these actions.

The Company has made significant improvements to its cost structure as a result of these cost reduction initiatives. Since the second quarter of 2007, headcount has been reduced by 36%; leased facilities have been consolidated; operating expenses have been reduced from $22.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 to $13.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, a decline of 40%; working capital has decreased from $39.8 million at June 30, 2007 to $22.3 million at January 1, 2011; total debt has decreased 74% since the second quarter of 2007 to $10.3 million; and the Company completed the sale of its real estate located in Tucson, AZ for $8.75 million in fiscal 2008 and the sale of its Lasertel subsidiary in 2010 for $8.0 million in cash and, in addition, Presstek was able to retain approximately $2.0 million of laser diode inventory.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and special charges and other non-recurring charges or credits.

- 33 -

Our Credit Agreement includes a similar measure as a basis for a material covenant under the agreement. Additionally, we believe that EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Additionally, we believe that investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of restructuring and other expenses, which vary widely from company to company and impair comparability. We adjust for these items in our Adjusted EBITDA as our management believes that these items would distort their ability to efficiently view and assess our core operating trends.

In summary, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our Board of Directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA was positive $4.0 million, negative $1.6 million and positive $16.3 million in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The following table represents a reconciliation of GAAP amounts (“Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations”) to Non-GAAP amounts (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands of dollars).

Fiscal 2010 Compared to Fiscal 2009

Revenue

Consolidated revenues were $128.6 million in 2010, compared to $134.5 million in the prior year, a decrease of 4%. The decline in revenues was driven primarily by the continuing decline in our traditional consumables business and service. Overall, sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of products, defined as 34DI® and 52DI® digital offset solutions and the Presstek family of chemistry-free CTP solutions, increased $0.3 million, or 1% in 2010 compared to the prior year.

Equipment revenues were $21.4 million in 2010 compared to $19.6 million in the prior year, an increase of 9%. Equipment sales continued to be impacted by the deterioration of the economy and we continue to see some reluctance by small to mid-size customers in our North American market to make capital equipment purchases in this environment, and financing remains difficult to obtain. Gross revenue of growth portfolio DI® presses and peripherals declined slightly from $15.7 million in 2009 to $15.3 million in the current year. Gross revenue of our remaining growth portfolio of equipment, Dimension Excel, Dimension Pro, Compass, and Vector platesetters, declined from $4.3 in 2009 to $3.7 million in the current year. Our “traditional” line of equipment is defined as QMDI presses, polyester CTP platesetters, and conventional equipment. Gross revenues from our traditional line of equipment products increased from $2.2 million in 2009 to $3.1 million in the current year. As a percentage of gross equipment product revenue, net sales of growth portfolio products decreased to 85.9% of revenue in fiscal 2010 from 90.0% of revenue in fiscal 2009.

Consumables product revenues declined 4% from $85.7 million in 2009 to $82.3 million in the current year due primarily to the increases in our “growth” consumables being more than offset by the anticipated lower sales of our “traditional” portfolio of consumables as customers move away from analog to digital workflows. Sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of consumables, defined as 52DI®, 34DI®, and chemistry-free CTP plates, increased from $31.0 million in 2009 to $32.3 million in the current year. Overall sales of Presstek’s growth portfolio of DI plates increased from $16.7 million in 2009 to $17.1 million in 2010. Sales of chemistry-free CTP plates increased by 6% in 2010 from $14.4 million in 2009. Sales of Presstek’s traditional plate products, consisting of QMDI, other DI®, and polyester plates, declined from $32.1 million in 2009 to $29.1 million in the current year, while sales of other traditional consumables products declined from $22.2 million to $20.5 million in the year.

Service and parts revenues were $24.9 million in 2010 reflecting a decrease of $4.2 million, or 14%, from the prior year. The decrease is due primarily to the impacts on service of the overall decrease in equipment placements, a reduction in installation revenue 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 $66.8 million in 2010 compared to $70.7 million in the prior year, a decrease of 5%. The overall decrease in product cost was due primarily to lower revenues. Additionally, cost of product in 2009 included a charge of $2.7 million related to lower production volume levels in our equipment manufacturing plant and the impact of a change in certain product strategies.

Consolidated cost of service and parts declined 8% to $19.8 million in 2010 from $21.6 million in 2009. These amounts represent the cost of spare parts, labor and overhead associated with the ongoing service of products. The reduction in overall cost is due primarily to lower field service expenses resulting from cost reduction initiatives, as well as lower revenues.

- 36 -

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of product revenues was 35.5% in 2010 compared to 32.9% in 2009. The primary cause for the change in gross profit percentage was reduced costs and improved efficiencies in 2010 in both equipment and consumables manufacturing.

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues was 20.2% in 2010 compared to 25.7% in 2009. The decrease is primarily due to reduced revenues, the impact of which were not fully offset by field service cost reductions.

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 declined to $4.3 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $5.0 million in the prior year due primarily to lower payroll and consulting related costs.

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 $25.0 in fiscal 2009 to $21.6 million in 2010. Favorable expense levels were due primarily to lower payroll and consulting related costs resulting from cost reduction actions as well as reduced advertising and travel costs.

General and Administrative

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

General and administrative expenses were $21.5 million in 2010 compared to $21.9 million in the prior year. Favorable expense levels in 2010 were due in large part to lower payroll related costs and lower professional services fees which more than offset increased costs related to the 2010 non-cash equity-based bonus plan and a $1.9 million bad debt charge recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 related to a single customer.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense was $0.8 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $0.9 million in 2009. This expense relates to intangible assets recorded in connection with the Company’s 2004 A.B. Dick acquisition, patents and other purchased intangible assets.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Consolidated restructuring and other charges of $0.6 million in fiscal 2010 decreased from $1.7 million in fiscal 2009. Expenses incurred during 2010 relate to certain cost reduction efforts in the Company’s United States operations. The majority of these expenses are anticipated to be completed by the second quarter of 2011.

Goodwill Impairment

During 2009 the Company wrote off its entire goodwill balance, resulting in an impairment loss of $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. The Company had no goodwill balance remaining as of January 2, 2010 and no charge occurred during fiscal 2010.

- 37 -

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Consolidated interest and other income (expense), net, was an expense of $1.2 million in 2010 compared to expense of $1.4 million in 2009. The reduction in expense is comprised primarily of a favorable swing in foreign currency impacts of $0.5 million, offsetting the net impact in 2009 of a $0.4 million charge related to the estimated SEC penalty (See Note 12), a $0.3 million charge related to forbearance fees (See Note 8) and $1.2 million of proceeds from favorable resolution of an insurance contract lawsuit settlement.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was (31.1%) in fiscal 2010 and (49.8%) in fiscal 2009. The variance from the federal statutory rate for fiscal 2010 was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance provided against our net deferred tax assets in the United States, UK, Canada and Germany. Based on our evaluation, pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 (originally issued as Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”), the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $16.8 million in fiscal 2009 against fiscal 2008 net U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company also recorded a fiscal 2009 valuation allowance of $11.3 million against net U.S. deferred tax assets, mainly attributable to current year net operating losses, for which no fiscal 2009 tax benefit was recorded. The Company recorded a fiscal 2010 valuation allowance of $0.9 million against net U.S. deferred tax assets, mainly attributable to 2010 operating losses, for which no fiscal 2010 tax benefit was recorded. The Company also recorded a fiscal 2010 valuation allowance of $2.7 million against net UK, Canadian and German deferred tax assets. A change in the valuation occurs if there is a change in management’s assessment of the amount of net tax deferred assets that is expected to be realized in the future.

Fiscal 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

Revenue

Consolidated revenues were $134.5 million in 2009, compared to $193.3 million in the prior year. The decline in revenues was driven primarily by the impact of the deterioration in the global economy, the continuing decline in our traditional lines of business, and an unfavorable change in foreign currency exchange rates. Overall, sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of products, defined as 34DI and 52DI digital offset solutions and the Presstek family of chemistry-free CTP solutions, decreased $40.0 million, or 40% in 2009 compared to the prior year.

Equipment revenues were $19.6 million in 2009 compared to $52.7 million in the prior year. Equipment sales were significantly impacted by the deterioration of the economy and were consistent with declines in global capital equipment markets. Potential customers delayed purchasing decisions and lenders delayed financing commitments in anticipation of a continuing sluggish economy. Gross revenue of growth portfolio DI presses and peripherals declined from $42.0 million in 2008 to $15.7 million in 2009. Gross revenue of our remaining growth portfolio of equipment, Dimension Excel, Dimension Pro, Compass, and Vector platesetters, declined from $9.2 million in 2008 to $4.3 million in 2009. Equipment sales of our “traditional” line of products, defined as QMDI presses, polyester CTP platesetters, and conventional equipment, were also lower in 2009 compared to 2008 due to the sluggish economy as well as the ongoing transition of our customer base from analog to digital technologies. Gross revenues from our traditional line of equipment products declined from $6.0 million in 2008 to $2.8 million in 2009. As a percentage of gross equipment product revenue, net sales of growth portfolio products increased to 90.0% of revenue in fiscal 2009 from 89.9% of revenue in fiscal 2008.

Consumables product revenues declined from $106.0 million in 2008 to $85.7 million in 2009 due primarily to lower sales of our “traditional” portfolio of consumables as well as the negative impact of the deterioration in the economy. Sales of Presstek’s traditional plate products, consisting of QMDI, other DI, and polyester plates, declined from $41.6 million in 2008 to $32.1 million in 2009, while sales of other traditional consumables products declined from $27.5 million in 2008 to $22.6 million in 2009. Sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of consumables, defined as 52DI, 34DI, and chemistry-free CTP plates, declined from $37.0 million in 2008 to $31.0 million in 2009, reflecting underutilized capacity in the printing markets resulting from the slow economy as well as customer inventory reductions. Overall sales of Presstek’s growth portfolio of DI plates declined from $18.9 million in 2008 to $16.7 million in 2009. Sales of chemistry-free CTP plates declined by 20% in 2009 from $18.1 million in 2008.

- 38 -

Service and parts revenues were $29.1 million in 2009 reflecting a decrease of $5.4 million, or 16%, from the prior year. The decrease is due primarily to lower parts revenues resulting from the transition of our customer base from analog to digital solutions as well as lower equipment usage and installations due to the sluggish economy.

Cost of Revenue

Consolidated cost of product, consisting of costs of material, labor and overhead, shipping and handling costs and warranty expenses, was $70.6 million in 2009 compared to $99.1 million in the prior year. The overall decrease in product cost was due primarily to lower revenues, offset partially by the negative impacts of foreign exchange, reduced productivity in equipment and digital plate manufacturing caused by lower production levels and a 2009 inventory adjustment. Cost of product in 2009 includes a charge of $2.7 million related to lower production volume levels in our equipment manufacturing plant and the impact of a change in certain product strategies.

Consolidated cost of service and parts declined from $25.4 million in 2008 to $21.6 million in 2009. These amounts represent the cost of spare parts, labor and overhead associated with the ongoing service of products. The reduction in overall cost is due primarily to lower field service expenses resulting from cost reduction initiatives, as well as lower revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of product revenues was 32.9% in 2009 compared to 37.6% in 2008. Gross profit had been negatively impacted in 2009 by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the negative impact of reduced manufacturing productivity due to the volume reductions from the deterioration of the global economy.

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues was 25.7% in 2009 compared to 26.3% in 2008.

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 $5.0 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $5.1 million in the prior year.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses decreased from $29.9 in fiscal 2008 to $25.0 million in 2009. Favorable expense levels were due primarily to lower payroll and consulting related costs resulting from cost reduction actions as well as reduced commission expense due to lower sales. In addition, 2008 expense includes the impact of the DRUPA trade show which only occurs once every four years.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $21.9 million in 2009 compared to $25.5 million in the prior year. Favorable expense levels in 2009 were due in large part to lower payroll related costs and lower legal and other professional services fees, offset somewhat by higher bad debt expenses resulting from the impact of the sluggish economy.

- 39 -

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense was $0.9 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $1.1 million in 2008. This expense relates to intangible assets recorded in connection with the Company’s 2004 A.B. Dick acquisition, patents and other purchased intangible assets.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Consolidated restructuring and other charges of $1.7 million in fiscal 2009 decreased from $2.1 million in fiscal 2008. Expenses incurred during 2009 relate to certain cost reduction efforts in the Company’s United States and United Kingdom operations. These expenses were fully paid in 2010. In 2008 the Company recognized $2.1 million of restructuring and other related costs associated with our Business Improvement Plan as well as charges related to the impairment of long-lived assets located at our South Hadley, Massachusetts facility.

Goodwill Impairment

Based on events including the decline in the Company’s stock price during the second quarter of 2009 and the unstable economic and credit conditions impacting the Company’s business, the Company identified a triggering event that caused management to test goodwill for impairment as of July 4, 2009. After completing step one of the impairment test, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of its reporting unit was less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, requiring the completion of the second step of the impairment test. To measure the amount of impairment, FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (originally issued as “SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), prescribes that the Company determine the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the Company had acquired the reporting unit. Specifically, the Company must allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets of that unit, including unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical calculation that would yield the implied fair value of goodwill. The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the book value of the goodwill and the implied fair value of the goodwill computed in step two. Upon completion of step two of the analysis, the Company wrote off the entire goodwill balance, resulting in an impairment loss of $19.1 million in the quarter ended July 4, 2009. The Company had no goodwill balance remaining as of January 2, 2010.

The goodwill impairment charge is non-cash in nature and does not affect the company’s liquidity, cash flows from operating activities or debt covenants and will not have a material impact on future operations.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Consolidated interest and other income (expense), net, was an expense of $1.4 million in 2009 compared to income of $0.9 million in 2008. The increase in expense in 2009 is comprised primarily of an unfavorable swing in foreign currency impacts of $2.3 million, $0.4 million related to the estimated SEC penalty and $0.3 million related to forbearance fees, offset partially by $1.2 million of proceeds from favorable resolution of an insurance contract lawsuit settlement.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was (49.8%) in fiscal 2009 and 47.0% in fiscal 2008. The variance from the federal statutory rate for fiscal 2008 was primarily due to a partial valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and for fiscal 2009 was primarily due to a full valuation allowance provided against our net deferred tax assets in the U.S.

- 40 -

Discontinued Operations

The Company accounts for its discontinued operations under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360, (originally issued as 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 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.

On September 24, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Lasertel subsidiary as the Lasertel operations were not considered a core focus for the Presstek graphics business. The Company has presented the results of operations of this subsidiary within discontinued operations, classified the assets as “Assets of discontinued operations” and liabilities as “Liabilities of discontinued operations”. On March 5, 2010, Presstek sold Lasertel to SELEX Galileo Inc. (“SELEX”). The sale of Lasertel to SELEX was for $8.0 million in cash and, in addition, Presstek was able to retain approximately $2.0 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 continue to manufacture semiconductor laser diodes for Presstek for an initial period of three years.

In 2008, prior to and independent of the plan to sell the Lasertel business, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction of its Lasertel property located in Tucson, Arizona (the “Property”). The Company sold the Property to an independent third party for approximately $8.75 million resulting in a gain of approximately $4.6 million. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered in to an agreement to lease a portion of the property back from the purchaser for a term of 10 years. The gain associated with the transaction was deferred at the inception of the arrangement and was being amortized ratably over the lease term. Included within the liabilities of discontinued operations as of January 2, 2010 is the aforementioned deferred gain associated with the Arizona property in which Lasertel conducted its operations. The related amortization of the gain is included in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax”. As part of the sale of Lasertel to SELEX on March 5, 2010, the buyer assumed all of the Company’s obligations under the lease.

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 during the first quarter of 2010, bringing the aggregate loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2010 to approximately $0.1 million. Lasertel incurred a loss of $0.7 million during fiscal 2009, as compared to a loss of $2.7 million during 2008. The 2009 loss includes a non-cash impairment charge of $1.4 million and $0.9 million of legal fees related to the negotiation and signing of a definitive agreement to sell the business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operating and capital investment requirements primarily through cash flows from operations and borrowings. At January 1, 2011, we had $4.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $22.3 million of working capital, compared to $5.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $19.3 million of working capital excluding net assets of discontinued operations at January 2, 2010. The increase in working capital from the prior year is primarily due to the reduction in outstanding borrowings as a result of the proceeds from the sale of our former Lasertel business.

Continuing Operations

Our operating activities provided $0.6 million of cash generation in fiscal 2010. Cash provided by operating activities came from a net loss of $10.6 million offset by positive adjustments of $13.5 million for non-cash charges included in net loss (including depreciation, amortization, provisions for warranty costs, accounts receivable allowances, stock compensation expense, non-cash bonus expense and deferred income taxes) and a $2.3 million negative impact on cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The negative impact on cash related to operating assets and liabilities was, in large part, due to a decrease of $2.8 million in accrued expenses, which was due mainly to the timing of transactions and related payments.

- 42 -

We used $2.1 million of net cash for investing activities during fiscal 2010 primarily for 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. The addition to developed technology relate to the design and prototyping of our new 75DI® digital offset press.

Our financing activities used $8.4 million of cash, consisting primarily of $7.7 million of cash repayments under our lines of credit, plus $1.0 million of cash payments related to establishment of our new financing facility, offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Discontinued Operations

Operating activities of discontinued operations provided $1.5 million in cash in fiscal 2010. Investing activities of discontinued operations provided $7.4 million of cash in fiscal 2010 associated with the net proceeds from the sale of Lasertel to SELEX.

Liquidity

The primary sources of the Company’s liquidity are (i) cash generated by the Company’s operations and (ii) a $25 million Revolving Credit and Security Agreement with a term that expires on March 5, 2013 (“Credit Agreement”). The Company utilizes its sources of liquidity to fund current operations and make capital and other investments in support of the business.

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement among the Company and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as Lender and as administrative agent for Lenders (PNC, in such agency capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement, maturing three years from the inception date, provides for funding of up to $25.0 million through a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). Borrowing availability under the Revolver is determined based 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 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 calculated differently for domestic rate loans and for Eurodollar rate loans. For domestic rate loans the interest rate per annum is equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two and one half percent (2.50%). 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%) or (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate in effect on such day plus one percent (1.0%). For Eurodollar rate loans the interest rate per annum is equal to the sum of three and one-half percent (3.50%) plus the greater of (a) the Eurodollar rate, or (b) one percent (1.0%). The Credit Agreement requires monthly interest payments with respect to domestic rate loans and a payment 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 Presstek, Inc. and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that guaranty the obligations of Presstek, Inc., including all receivables, equipment, general intangibles, inventory, investment property, subsidiary stock, owned real property and leasehold interests of the Company.

Under the Credit Agreement the Company is required to provide monthly Borrowing Base Certificates to the Agent that become the basis for calculating the Credit Agreement’s Formula Amount. The Formula Amount, capped at $25 million, represents the maximum amount of advances available to the Company at a given point in time. The Formula Amount is normally calculated 20 days subsequent to the close of each fiscal month. Because of the timing delay, the Agent utilizes a process that estimates the maximum amount available daily during each fiscal period. As of January 1, 2011 the Formula Amount was $15.0 million and the Company had outstanding balances on its line of credit of $10.3 million. The amount available under the credit line, based on the Formula Amount, was $4.7 million as of January 1, 2011. The computed preliminary availability based on the daily estimation process was $4.6 million as of that date.

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 for the Company’s first, second, third and fourth fiscal quarters in 2010 of $385,000, $1,238,000, $1,139,000 and $614,000, respectively, and $4,000,000 in each fiscal year thereafter.

As of January 1, 2011 the Company was fully in compliance with all financial covenants. The fixed charge ratio for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 was 3.5 to 1.0, well in excess of the 1.0 to 1.0 minimum required ratio. Additionally, since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company’s quarterly capital expenditures have been well below the maximum levels allowed.

Our liquidity is dependent on availability under our current Credit Agreement. This availability is a function of both our cash generated by operations and our borrowing base availability (primarily based on eligible inventories and accounts receivable) and compliance with our debt covenants. Management believes there will be adequate availability and compliance with debt covenants throughout 2011. However, a significant decline in operating results could have a negative impact and may require management to scale back on capital expenditures and/or other operating activities.

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings was 4.59% at January 1, 2011.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations at January 1, 2011 consisted of the following (in thousands):

			Payments due by period
	Total		Less than one year		One to three years		Three to five years		Five or more years

Senior secured credit facilities	$	10,252	$	10,252	$	-	$	-	$	-

Total contractual obligations	$	16,574	$	13,553	$	2,470	$	551	$	-

In fiscal 2000, we entered into an agreement with Fuji, whereby minimum royalty payments to Fuji are required based on specified sales volumes of our A3 format size four-color sheet-fed DI presses. The agreement provides for total royalty payments to be no less than $6 million and not greater than $14 million over the life of the agreement. As of January 1, 2011, the Company had paid Fuji $9.5 million related to this agreement.

- 44 -

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”). Generally, the Company’s liability for these recourse agreements is limited to 9.5% of the amount outstanding. The maximum contingent obligation under these shortfall payment arrangements is estimated to be $0.8 million at January 1, 2011, of which $0.2 million relating to full recourse arrangements is reflected in deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet at January 1, 2011.

Effect of Inflation

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

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

At January 1, 2011, we had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes totaling $102.3 million, of which $61.5 million resulted directly from stock option compensation deductions for U.S. federal tax purposes and $40.8 million resulted from overall operating losses. To the extent that net operating losses resulting from stock option compensation deductions result in reduction of current taxes payable, the benefit will be credited directly to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited in the future if the Company experiences an ownership change, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. An ownership change involves an increase of more than 50 percentage points in stock ownership by one or more 5% shareholders over a three year period.

At January 1, 2011, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximated $9.1 million at its UK subsidiary with an indefinite carryforward period and $0.4 million at its Canadian subsidiary which expire at various dates through 2020.

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 generally accepted accounting principles as adopted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related 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; 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 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.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For a complete discussion of our accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

- 45 -

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue principally from the sale of products (equipment, consumables, laser diodes) and services (equipment maintenance contracts, installation, training, support, and spare parts). 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. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”) and FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605-25 Multiple-Element Arrangements (originally issued as Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables ), when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as equipment and services, revenue is allocated to each element using the residual method.

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”) are recognized at the time of shipment as installation is not required and title and risk of loss generally 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 SAB 104 and Topic 605-25, when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as equipment, consumables or services, revenue is allocated to each element using the residual method.

- 46 -

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.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company may invest in high quality money market instruments, securities of the U.S. government, and high quality corporate issues.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to certain customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and closely monitor their amounts due. The Company has a distributor that represented 13% and 12% of gross accounts receivable at January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, respectively. A significant portion of this outstanding balance is collateralized to the Company by drafts from the distributor’s customers and our ability to take back and resell the distributor’s on-hand Presstek equipment. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of historical losses from uncollectible accounts and risks identified for specific customers who may not be able to make required payments.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms, carried at face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis and adjusts for potential credit losses when it determines that receivables are at risk for collection based upon the length of time receivables are outstanding, past transaction history and various other criteria. Receivables are written off against reserves in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts represented 23.2% and 13.6%, respectively, of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010. The large increase in the reserve percentage in fiscal 2010 relates primarily to a single customer bad debt reserve of $1.9 million established in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. We assess the recoverability of inventory to determine whether adjustments for impairment are required. Inventory that is in excess of future requirements is written down to its estimated market value based upon forecasted demand for its products. If actual demand is less favorable than what has been forecasted by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory represented 21.9% and 24.0%, respectively, of the Company’s gross inventory value at January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010.

- 47 -

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In order to complete the two-step goodwill impairment tests as required by Topic 350, the Company identifies its reporting units and determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. In accordance with the provisions of Topic 350, the Company designates reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill impairment. Topic 350 defines a reporting unit as the lowest level of an entity that is a business and that can be distinguished, physically and operationally and for internal reporting purposes, from the other activities, operations, and assets of the entity. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units of the Company that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Based on the provisions of Topic 350, the Company has determined that it has one reporting unit in continuing operations for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

The Company’s impairment review is based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the Company’s reporting units based on a discounted cash flow approach, and the market approach which estimates the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit based on comparable market multiples. The average fair value is then reconciled to the Company’s market capitalization with an appropriate control premium. The discount rate utilized in the discounted cash flows analysis in the quarter ended July 4, 2009 (the last time this analysis was performed) was approximately 16%, reflecting market based estimates of capital costs and discount rates adjusted for a market participant’s view with respect to execution, concentration, and other risks associated with the projected cash flows of the individual reporting units. The peer companies used in the market approach are primarily the major competitors. The Company’s valuation methodology requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test on the first business day of the third quarter of each fiscal year.

Intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360, Property Plant and Equipment (originally issued as SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”)). Recoverability of intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. The Company determines the discount rate for this analysis based on the expected internal rate of return of the related business and does not allocate interest charges to the asset or asset group being measured. Considerable judgment is required to estimate discounted future operating cash flows.

Patents represent the cost of preparing and filing applications to patent the Company’s proprietary technologies, in addition to certain patent and license rights obtained in the Company’s acquisitions or other related transactions. Such costs are amortized over a period ranging from five to seven years, beginning on the date the patents or rights are issued or acquired.

From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with third parties under which the party will design and prototype a product incorporating Presstek products and technology. The capitalized costs associated with rights or intellectual property under these agreements will be amortized over the estimated sales life-cycle and future cash flows of the product. The Company does not amortize capitalized costs related to either patents or purchased intellectual property until the respective asset has been placed into service.

The Company amortizes license agreements and loan origination fees over the term of the respective agreement and amortizes customer relationships over their estimated useful lives ranging from two to ten years.

- 48 -

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Stock Compensation, (originally adopted by the Company in January 1, 2006, as SFAS 123R Share-Based Payment, as amended (SFAS 123R)), using the modified prospective method. We recognize the fair value of stock compensation in our consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period, generally on a straight-line basis for time-vested awards. Under the fair value recognition provisions of Topic 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the service period. Further, we have elected under Topic 718 to recognize the fair value of awards with pro-rata vesting on a straight-line basis. Previously, we had followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, which resulted in the accounting for employee share options at their intrinsic value in the consolidated financial statements.

Under Topic 718, our stock-based compensation is affected by our stock price as well as valuation assumptions, including the volatility of our stock price, expected term of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value on the date of grant of employee stock options. We estimate volatility primarily using the historical volatility of Presstek common stock over the expected term. Any changes in these assumptions may materially affect the estimated fair value of the stock-based award.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The process of accounting for income taxes involves calculating our current tax obligation or refund and assessing the nature and measurements of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. These differences and our net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. In each period, we assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from existing deferred tax liabilities or future taxable income in each jurisdiction. To the extent we believe that we would not meet the test that recovery is “more likely than not”, we would establish a valuation allowance. To the extent that we establish a valuation allowance or change this allowance in a period, we would adjust our tax provision or tax benefit in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We use our judgment to determine our provision or benefit for income taxes, including estimates associated with uncertain tax positions and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets based on the weight of all positive and negative factors, including cumulative trends in profitability.

We have accumulated U.S. federal and state income tax NOL carryforwards, research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. During fiscal 2010, the Company established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets on its balance sheet that represented NOLs and temporary differences from its UK, Canadian and German operations. During fiscal 2009, the Company established a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset on its balance sheet that primarily represents NOLs from its U.S. operations.

We continually assess our ability to utilize our NOL and tax credit carryforwards in future periods and record any resulting adjustments that may require the establishment or reduction of a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. The future impact on net income may therefore be positive or negative, depending on the net result of such adjustments.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The objective of ASU 2010-29 is to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments affect any public entity as defined by ASC 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. This guidance will become effective for us for acquisitions occurring on or after the beginning of our 2011 fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact upon our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of FASB ASC subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements, by allowing the use of the “best estimate of selling price” in addition to vendor specific objective evidence and third-party evidence for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence, (b) third-party evidence, or (c) estimates. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact upon our financial position or results of operations.

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. As of January 1, 2011, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Item 7A. 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 activities, commodity price risk, and to a lesser extent, our investing activities and foreign currency fluctuations.

Our 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 $0.1 million on our annual interest expense, assuming consistent levels of floating rate debt with those held at the end of fiscal 2010.

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 aluminum 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 us in the form of revised prices on future purchases. The Company has not used commodity forward or option contracts to manage this market risk.

The Company operates foreign subsidiaries in Canada, Europe and Asia and is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, anticipated purchases and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Presstek routinely evaluates whether the foreign exchange risk associated with its foreign currency exposures acts as a natural foreign currency hedge for other offsetting amounts denominated in the same currency. The Company has not hedged the net assets or net income of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s primary foreign currency exchange risks relate to the Euro, British pound and Japanese yen. A 10% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro, British pound and Japanese yen would have an operating income impact of approximately $0.4 million. In addition, certain key customers and strategic partners are not located in the United States. As a result, these parties may be subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. If their home country currency were to decrease in value relative to the U.S. dollar, their ability to purchase and market our products could be adversely affected and our products may become less competitive to them. This may have an adverse impact on our business. Likewise, certain major suppliers are not located in the United States and thus, such suppliers are subject to foreign exchange rate risks in transactions with us. Decreases in the value of their home country currency, versus that of the U.S. dollar, could cause fluctuations in supply pricing which could have an adverse effect on our business.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended January 1, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule II, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PRESSTEK, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Presstek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a market-focused company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, sales and service of high-technology digital imaging solutions to the graphic arts industry worldwide. The Company is a developer of advanced printing systems using digital imaging equipment and consumables-based solutions that economically benefit the user through a streamlined workflow and both chemistry-based and chemistry-free, environmentally responsible operations. The Company is also a sales and service channel in the small to mid-sized commercial, quick and in-plant printing markets, and moving into the large-sized printing markets through an expansion of its product portfolio.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company’s operations are organized based on the market application of our products and related services. The Company’s operations are currently organized in one business segment; Presstek. 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 serving the short-run, full-color market segment. Until the quarter ended April 3, 2010, the Company’s operations consisted of two business segments: Presstek and Lasertel. The Company’s Lasertel segment had been presented as discontinued operations since the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as the operations were being held for sale. On March 5, 2010, Presstek sold the Lasertel subsidiary to SELEX Galileo Inc. (SELEX). See Note 3. The Lasertel segment manufactured and developed high-powered laser diodes and related laser products for the Presstek segment and for sale to external customers.

The Company operates and reports on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the financial statements presented herein include the financial results for the 52-week fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 (“fiscal 2010”), the 52-week fiscal year ended January 2, 2010 (“fiscal 2009”) and the 53-week fiscal year ended January 3, 2009 (“fiscal 2008”).

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 reported amounts and related disclosures. 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 judgments 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 revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

- 58 -

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue principally from the sale of products (equipment, consumables) and services (equipment maintenance contracts, installation, training, support, and spare parts). 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. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”) and FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605-25 Multiple-Element Arrangements (originally issued as Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables ), when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as equipment and services, revenue is allocated to each element using the residual method.

Product revenue

OEMs - Product revenue and any related royalties for products sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) 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.

Service and parts revenue

Leases

Multiple element arrangements

- 59 -

Rights of return

Other

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. Taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to government authorities are reported on a net basis and excluded from revenues.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial assets for impairment, which would require that a non-financial asset be measured at the fair value. FASB Topic ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement Disclosures”, prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1- unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets; Level 2- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3- unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and line of credit approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include savings deposits, certificates of deposit and money market funds that have original maturities of three months or less and are classified as cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances

The Company’s accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms, carried at face value less allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns. The Company evaluates its allowances on an ongoing basis and adjusts for potential uncollectible amounts when it determines that receivables are at risk for collection based upon the length of time receivables are outstanding, past transaction history and various other criteria. Receivables are written off against the allowance in the period they are determined to be uncollectible.

- 60 -

Inventories

Inventories include material, direct labor and related manufacturing overhead, and are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company assesses the recoverability of inventory to determine whether adjustments for impairment are required. Inventory that is in excess of future requirements is written down to its estimated net realizable value based upon forecasted demand for its products. If actual demand is less favorable than what has been forecasted by management, additional inventory impairments may be required.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using a straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the life of the related asset. The estimated useful lives assigned to the Company’s other property, plant and equipment categories are as follows:

Buildings and improvements	25 – 30	years
Production equipment and other	5 – 10	years
Office furniture and equipment	3 – 7	years
Software	5	years

The Company periodically reviews the remaining lives of property, plant and equipment as a function of the original estimated lives assigned to these assets for purposes of recording appropriate depreciation expense. Factors that could impact the estimated useful life of a fixed asset, in addition to physical deterioration from the passage of time and depletion, include, but are not limited to, plans of the enterprise and anticipated use of the assets.

Acquisitions

In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined and recorded as of the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets consist of patents, intellectual property, license agreements and certain identifiable intangible assets resulting from business combinations, including trade names, customer relationships, non-compete covenants, software licenses and loan origination fees.

From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with third parties under which the party will design and prototype a product incorporating Presstek’s existing products and technology and provide Presstek with the rights of distribution and relevant intellectual property. The capitalized costs associated with rights or intellectual property under these agreements will be amortized over the estimated sales life-cycle and future cash flows of the product. The Company does not amortize capitalized costs related to either patents or purchased intellectual property until the respective asset has been placed into service. Capitalized development costs related to intellectual property were $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $0.1 million in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

At January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, the Company had recorded $2.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of costs related to patents and intellectual property not yet in service.

- 61 -

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for acquisitions exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350 (Topic 350) Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (originally issued as “SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), goodwill is not amortized, but rather, is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has no goodwill recorded as of January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of Topic 350, goodwill is tested at least annually, on the first business day of the third quarter, for impairment, or more frequently, if indicators of potential impairment arise. The Company’s impairment review is based on a fair value test. The Company uses its judgment in conducting ongoing assessments of whether goodwill may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. 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 an asset has been impaired. Should the fair value of goodwill, as determined by the Company at any measurement date, fall below its carrying value, a charge for impairment of goodwill will be recorded in the period.

Intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360, Property Plant and Equipment (originally issued as SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). Recoverability of intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted pretax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future pretax operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. The Company determines the discount rate for this analysis based on the expected internal rate of return of the related business and does not allocate interest charges to the asset or asset group being measured. Considerable judgment is required to estimate discounted future operating cash flows.

Product Warranties

The Company warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship for various periods generally from a period of ninety days to one year from the date of installation or shipment. The Company’s typical warranties require it to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties, based on historical experience, at the time revenue is recognized. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The estimated liability for product warranties could differ materially from future actual warranty costs.

- 62 -

Claims and Litigation

The Company evaluates claims for damages and records its estimate of liabilities when such liabilities are considered probable and an amount or range can reasonably be estimated.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include payroll and related expenses for personnel, parts and supplies, and contracted services. Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are reported as a component of “Sales, marketing and customer support expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising expenses were $0.2 million in fiscal 2010, $0.6 million in fiscal 2009 and $0.8 million in fiscal 2008.

Income Taxes

The process of accounting for income taxes involves calculating the current tax obligation or refund and assessing the nature and measurements of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. These differences and net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards, result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. In each period, the Company assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from existing deferred tax liabilities or future taxable income in each jurisdiction. To the extent the Company believes that it would not meet the test that recovery is “more likely than not”, the Company would establish a valuation allowance. To the extent that a valuation allowance is established or changed in a period, the Company would adjust the tax provision or tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company uses judgment to determine the provision or benefit for income taxes, including estimates associated with uncertain tax positions and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets based on the weight of all positive and negative factors, including cumulative trends in profitability.

The Company has accumulated U.S. federal and state income tax NOL carryforwards, research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. During fiscal 2010, the Company established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets on its balance sheet that represented NOL carryforwards and temporary differences from its UK, Canadian and German operations. During fiscal 2009, the Company established a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset on its balance sheet that primarily represents NOLs from its U.S. operations.

The Company continually assesses the ability to utilize NOL and tax credit carryforwards in future periods and record any resulting adjustments. The future impact on net income may be positive or negative, depending on the net result of such adjustments and charges.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Stock Compensation, which requires measurement of compensation cost at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. See Note 15 for further discussion.

- 63 -

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss), plus all changes in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including any foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, or changes in derivative values. These changes in equity are recorded as adjustments to “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation, net of any tax effects.

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. The resulting unrealized gains or losses are reported under the caption “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues and expenses from these subsidiaries are translated at average monthly exchange rates in effect for the periods in which the transactions occur.

Unrealized 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.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, Earnings per share (originally issued as SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share). 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 and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period unless the effect is antidilutive. Potential dilutive common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants.

Approximately 5,200,000, 4,300,000 and 4,170,000 options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively, as their effect would be antidilutive.

Reclassifications

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The objective of ASU 2010-29 is to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments affect any public entity as defined by ASC 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. This guidance will become effective for the Company for acquisitions occurring on or after the beginning of our 2011 fiscal year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact upon its financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of FASB ASC subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements, by allowing the use of the “best estimate of selling price” in addition to vendor specific objective evidence and third-party evidence for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence, (b) third-party evidence, or (c) estimated selling price. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In 2008, prior to and independent of the plan to sell the Lasertel business, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction of its Lasertel property located in Tucson, Arizona (the “Property”). The Company sold the Property to an independent third party for approximately $8.75 million resulting in a gain of approximately $4.6 million. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered in to an agreement to lease a portion of the property back from the purchaser for a term of 10 years. The gain associated with the transaction was deferred at the inception of the arrangement and was being amortized ratably over the lease term. Included within the liabilities of discontinued operations at January 2, 2010 is the aforementioned deferred gain associated with the Arizona property in which Lasertel conducted its operations. The related amortization of the gain is included in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax”. As part of the sale of Lasertel to SELEX on March 5, 2010, the buyer assumed all of the Company’s obligations under the lease.

In order to complete the two-step goodwill impairment tests as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company identifies its reporting units and determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. In accordance with the provisions of Topic 350, the Company designates reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill impairment. Topic 350 defines a reporting unit as the lowest level of an entity that is a business and that can be distinguished, physically and operationally and for internal reporting purposes, from the other activities, operations, and assets of the entity. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units of the Company that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Based on the provisions of Topic 350, the Company has determined that it has one reporting unit in continuing operations for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

The peer companies used in the market approach are primarily the Company’s major competitors. The Company’s valuation methodology requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test on the first business day of the third quarter of each fiscal year.

Based on events including the decline in the Company’s stock price during the second quarter of 2009 and the unstable economic and credit conditions impacting the Company’s business, the Company identified a triggering event that caused management to test goodwill for impairment as of July 4, 2009. After completing step one of the impairment test, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of its reporting unit was less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, requiring the completion of the second step of the impairment test. To measure the amount of impairment, Topic 350 prescribes that the Company determine the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the Company had acquired the reporting unit. Specifically, the Company must allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets of that unit, including unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical calculation that would yield the implied fair value of goodwill. The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the book value of the goodwill and the implied fair value of the goodwill computed in step two. Upon completion of step two of the analysis, the Company wrote off the entire goodwill balance resulting in an impairment charge of $19.1 million in the quarter ended July 4, 2009. The Company had no goodwill balance remaining as of January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010.

Other Intangible assets

The components of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

	January 1, 2011				January 2, 2010

License agreements		750		431		750		405
	$	16,837	$	12,089	$	15,600	$	11,284

The Company recorded amortization expense for its identifiable intangible assets of $0.8 million, $0.9 million and $1.1 million in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. As of January 1, 2011, there were $2.1 million of intellectual property and $0.5 million of patents not yet in service. Intellectual property not yet in service is planned to be placed in service during fiscal 2011. Estimated future amortization expense for the Company’s in service patents and all other identifiable intangible assets recorded by the Company at January 1, 2011, are as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal 2011	$	796
Fiscal 2012		689
Fiscal 2013		669
Fiscal 2014		597
Fiscal 2015		260
Thereafter		1,267

The Company conducts ongoing assessments of whether indicators exist requiring an impairment test of the intangible and long-lived assets. This assessment was conducted by the Company during the year ended January 1, 2011, and it was determined that no triggering event occurred requiring an impairment test to be performed.

8. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The components of the Company’s outstanding borrowings are as follows (in thousands):

	January 1, 2011		January 2, 2010

Line of credit	$	10,252	$	17,910

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

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

The Credit Agreement, maturing three years from the inception date of the Credit Agreement, provides for funding of up to $25.0 million through a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). Borrowing availability under the Revolver is determined based 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 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.

- 69 -

The Company’s Prior Facility originally included a $35.0 million five-year secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $45.0 million five-year secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”). Under the terms of the Revolver and the Term Loan, the Company was required to meet certain financial covenants. As a result of the Company’s financial performance during the quarter ended July 4, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with two of these covenants which represented an “Event of Default” and provided the lenders with certain remedies that altered the terms of the original agreement.

On October 1, 2009, the credit facilities were amended. The Forbearance Amendment Agreement (the “Forbearance”) reduced the Revolver from $45 million to $27 million and required the Company to pay a forbearance fee in the amount of $250,000, which extended the expiration date from November 4, 2009 to November 30, 2009. The Company, at its option, paid an additional $20,000 to extend the expiration date to December 15, 2009.

On December 15, 2009, the Forbearance was amended to extend the Forbearance expiration date from December 15, 2009 to March 31, 2010. The Amended Forbearance Agreement reduced the Revolver from $27 million to $25 million and required the Company to pay a forbearance fee in the amount of $25,000 and repay the remaining outstanding balance on the Term Loan. At January 2, 2010, the Company had outstanding balances on its Revolver of $17.9 million and an amount available under the Prior Facility of $6.8 million.

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings was 4.59% at January 1, 2011 and 7.25% at January 2, 2010.

10. ACCRUED WARRANTY AND DEFERRED REVENUES

Accrued Warranty

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties, based on historical experience, at the time revenue is recognized. Presstek warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship for various periods, determined by the product, generally for a period of ninety days to one year from the date of installation. Typical warranties require the Company to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. Presstek engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including monitoring and evaluation of component supplies; however, product warranty terms, product failure rates, and material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure may affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from current estimates, the Company will adjust the warranty liability. Accruals for product warranties are reflected as a component of “accrued expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Product warranty activity in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 is as follows (in thousands):

	Fiscal 2010			Fiscal 2009			Fiscal 2008

Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	1,383		$	17,560

In assessing the ability to realize its deferred tax assets, the Company considered historical book income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and projected future book and taxable income in making this assessment. The valuation allowance of $32.5 million as of January 1, 2011 relates to U.S. NOLs, foreign NOLs, temporary differences and certain federal research and development credit carryforwards for which the Company has determined, based upon historical results and projected future book and taxable income levels, that a valuation allowance should be maintained.

At January 1, 2011, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $102.3 million which will expire from 2011 to 2030. Approximately $61.5 million of our net operating loss carryforwards was generated from excess tax deductions from stock-based compensation, the tax benefit of which (approximately $24.6 million) will be credited to additional paid-in-capital when the deductions reduce current taxes payable. Upon the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Stock Compensation (originally adopted by the Company in January 1, 2006), the Company netted its deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance for the net operating loss carryforward generated from excess tax deductions from stock-based compensation.

- 74 -

At January 1, 2011 the Company had federal research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $3.1 million. The credit carryforwards will expire at various dates through 2022, if not utilized. The Company’s tax credit carryforwards include $0.3 million of federal minimum tax credits which have no expiration and $0.5 million of state credits that fully expire in 2015.

The Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited in the future if the company experiences an ownership change, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. An ownership change involves an increase of more than 50 percentage points in stock ownership by one or more 5% shareholders over a three year period.

As of January 1, 2011 there were no undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Losses incurred by the foreign subsidiaries through the year ended January 1, 2011 resulted in a cumulative deficit that eliminated any undistributed earnings.

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (originally adopted by the Company on December 31, 2006, as FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”). The adoption of Topic 740 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Our unrecognized tax benefits at January 2, 2010 relate to various state jurisdictions and U.S. tax credits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

Balance at December 30, 2006	$	1,800
Increases related to prior year tax positions		400
Decreases related to prior year tax positions		(400	)
Balance at December 29, 2007	$	1,800
Decreases related to prior year tax positions		(579	)
Balance at January 3, 2009	$	1,221
Decreases related to prior year tax positions		(184	)
Balance at January 2, 2010	$	1,037
Decreases related to prior year tax positions		(167	)
Balance at January 1, 2011	$	870

We do not expect any significant increases or decreases to our unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of this reporting date. Subsequent to adoption, interest and penalties incurred associated with unresolved income tax positions will be included in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are insignificant.

We conduct business globally and, as a result, file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or certain non-U.S. income tax examinations for years after 2005. The Company is subject to UK income tax examinations for years after 2007. Carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2005, however may still be adjusted by a taxing authority upon examination if the attributes have been or will be used in a future period.

14. PREFERRED STOCK

The Company’s certificate of incorporation empowers the Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, with dividend, liquidation, conversion and voting or other rights to be determined upon issuance by the Board of Directors. No preferred stock has been issued to date.

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

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 of the shares covered by each grant.

Stock Incentive Plans

The 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) provides for the award of stock options, stock issuances and other equity interests in the Company to employees, officers, directors (including those directors who are not an employee or officer of the Company, such directors being referred to as Non-Employee Directors), consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries. A total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, have been reserved under this plan. Any future options granted under the 2003 Plan will become exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or Committee may specify at the time of each grant. At January 1, 2011, there were 1,898,067 options outstanding under the 2003 Plan, and 31,533 options available for future grants under this plan. The options will expire at various dates as prescribed by the individual option grants.

With respect to all stock options previously granted to the Company’s executive officers and other current employees and Non-Employee Directors under the 2003 Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee approved on September 30, 2010 an amendment to the exercise prices of such options so that each such option outstanding shall have an exercise price equal to the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date of $2.19 per share. The amendment did not change the vesting schedules or any of the other terms of the respective stock options. As a result of the repricing of the options, the Company incurred a non-cash charge of $294,000 to stock-based compensation expense during the fiscal year 2010 and an additional $47,000 which is being amortized over the remaining vesting period of the related options. This modification affected 331 employees who held 724,300 stock options on September 30, 2010. For purposes of stock activity disclosure the amended options are treated as option cancelations and new option grants with the only change from the original grant being the revised option price.

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. Awards granted under this plan may have varying vesting and termination provisions and can have no longer than a ten year contractual life. At January 1, 2011, there were 2,194,439 options outstanding and 801,059 options available for future grants under this plan.

The Company had previously adopted equity incentive plans that had expired prior to January 1, 2011 and, accordingly, no future grants may be issued under these plans. These plans include the 1991 Stock Option Plan (the “1991 Plan”), which expired on August 18, 2001; the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”), which expired on April 8, 2004; the 1997 Interim Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”), which expired on September 22, 2002; and the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”), which expired on April 6, 2008. At January 1, 2011, there were 500 options outstanding under the 1991 Plan, 61,100 options outstanding under the 1994 Plan, 7,225 options outstanding under the 1997 Plan and 198,225 options outstanding under the 1998 Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “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. In fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009, and fiscal 2008, approximately 82,862, 127,500 and 80,300 shares were issued, respectively, under the ESPP. The 2010, 2009, and 2008 amounts include approximately 23,000, 29,000 and 27,000 in transit at January 1, 2011, January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, respectively. These shares were issued on January 11, 2011, January 8, 2010 and January 5, 2009, respectively. At January 1, 2011, there were approximately 412,658 shares available for issuance under this plan.

Non-Plan Options

In fiscal 2007, the Company granted 300,000 shares of restricted common stock and stock options for 1,000,000 shares of common stock to its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) under a non-plan, non-qualified stock option agreement. The award of restricted stock vested on May 10, 2007, the effective date of the CEO’s employment agreement with the Company. The award of stock options vests 20% on the date of grant, and an additional 20% vests on each of January 1, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Each portion of the option that vests will remain exercisable for five years after the applicable vesting date. As of January 1, 2011, 1,000,000 options remain outstanding.

Valuation Assumptions

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:


Stock purchase right assumptions	Fiscal 2010			Fiscal 2009			Fiscal 2008

Risk-free interest rate		0.15	%		0.00	%		0.84	%
Volatility		66.33	%		110.75	%		95.79	%
Expected life (in years)		0.25			0.25			0.25
Dividend yield		-			-			-

Based on the above assumptions, the weighted average fair value of the stock purchase rights under the Company’s ESPP for fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $0.50, $0.50 and $1.09, respectively.

The fair value of the options to purchase common stock granted in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 under the 2008 Plan, 2003 Plan and 1998 Plan was estimated on the respective grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:


Stock option assumptions	Fiscal 2010			Fiscal 2009			Fiscal 2008

Risk-free interest rate		1.92	%		2.65	%		2.28	%
Volatility		77.02	%		71.00	%		60.63	%
Expected life (in years)		5.83			5.67			5.67
Dividend yield		-			-			-

- 77 -

The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted of the Company’s common stock during fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $1.60, $1.24 and $2.50, respectively.

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. Starting in 2010, the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Note yield for the period corresponding to the expected life of the options or ESPP purchase period. The risk-free rate for fiscal 2009 and 2008 is based on the U.S. Treasury Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities rate for the period corresponding to the expected life of the options or ESPP purchase period. The expense calculated using the Black-Scholes method is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the service period. Stock-based compensation associated with stock option grants to all officers, directors, and employees is included as a component of “General and administrative expense” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock based compensation expense for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, including the option repricing expense, is as follows (in thousands):

	Fiscal Year ended
Stock option plan	January 1, 2011		January 2, 2010			January 3, 2009

2008 Plan	$	1,286	$	758		$	319
2003 Plan		643		401			718
1998 Plan		2		(6	)		171
ESPP		29		33			79
Non-plan, non-qualified		516		516			516
Total	$	2,476	$	1,702		$	1,803

As of January 1, 2011, there was $2.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option grants. The weighted average period over which the remaining unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized is 1.7 years.

Stock option activity for fiscal 2008, 2009 and 2010 is summarized as follows:

In addition to the plans described above, the Company’s Lasertel subsidiary had a stock option plan, the Lasertel, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Lasertel Plan”). The Lasertel Plan, as amended in fiscal 2001, provided for the award, to employees and other key individuals of Lasertel and Presstek, of non-qualified options to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 2,100,000 shares of Lasertel’s common stock. Any future options granted under this plan generally vested over four years, with termination dates ten years from the date of grant. These grants were subject to termination provisions as provided in the Lasertel Plan. In accordance with the terms of the sale of Lasertel to SELEX, the Lasertel Plan was terminated on March 5, 2010 and the option holders were paid by SELEX from funds withheld to Presstek at closing.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company conducts operations in certain facilities under long-term operating leases. The Company also leases certain office and other equipment for use in its operations. These leases expire at various dates through 2018, with various options to renew as negotiated between the Company and its landlords. It is expected that in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced. Rent expense under these leases, for continuing operations was $1.7 million in fiscal 2010, $1.6 million in fiscal 2009 and $1.7 million in fiscal 2008, and for discontinued operations was $0.1 million in fiscal 2010, $0.6 million in fiscal 2009, $0.3 million in fiscal 2008.

The Company entered into an agreement in fiscal 2000 with Fuji, whereby minimum royalty payments to Fuji are required based on specified sales volumes of the Company’s A3 format size four-color sheet-fed DI presses. The agreement provides for total royalty payments to be no less than $6 million and not greater than $14 million over the life of the agreement. As of January 1, 2011, the Company had paid Fuji $9.5 million under the agreement. Royalty payments under this agreement totaled $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $1.1 million in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company’s maximum remaining liability under the royalty agreement at January 1, 2011, was $4.5 million.

Contingencies

The Company has change-in-control agreements with certain of its employees that provide them with benefits should their employment with the Company be terminated other than for cause or their disability or death, or if they resign for good reason, as defined in these agreements, within a certain period of time after the date of any change-in-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% of the amount outstanding. The maximum amount for which the Company was liable to the financial institutions for the shortfall payments was approximately $0.8 million at January 1, 2011.

Litigation

As more fully discussed below, the Company is involved in litigation that it considers routine and incidental to its business. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The potential liability is assessed by analyzing the litigation using available information. The Company develops its views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling its defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies.

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 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not applicable

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 1, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision of management and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2011 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 1, 2011.

KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an audit report, which is included elsewhere within this Form 10-K, on the effectiveness of Presstek’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Presstek, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Presstek, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended January 1, 2011, and our report dated March 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
