BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior fiscal years' accounts have
been reclassified for comparative purposes. The unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The financial information included in this quarterly
report should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements and related notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 28,
2002. The December 28, 2002 information has been derived directly from the
annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and all such
adjustments were normal and recurring. Operating results for the three months
ended March 29, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2004.

FISCAL YEAR - 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 include the thirteen-week periods ended March 29, 2003 ("the first
quarter of fiscal 2003") and March 30, 2002 ("the first quarter of fiscal
2002").

USE OF ESTIMATES - The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted 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, and the

                                        6


reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The
Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns,
inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, and litigation on an on-going
basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.

REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
No. 101"). Under SAB No. 101, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of
an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the
price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably
assured.

The Company records revenue for product sales net of estimated returns, which
are adjusted periodically, based upon historical rates of return. Revenue and
related royalties for products sold where installation is not required is
recorded at the time of shipment. Revenue for products that require
installation, for which the installation is not deemed inconsequential, is
recognized upon completion of installation and customer acceptance. Revenue
related to service maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the
duration of the particular contract. Certain fees and other reimbursements are
recognized as revenue when the related services have been performed or the
revenue otherwise earned. Deferred revenue includes certain customer advances
received as a result of the Company's distribution agreements. This revenue is
recognized as product is shipped or services are performed.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - The Company accounts for stock options and other
equity instruments granted to employees under the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25"), as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). APB 25 provides for
compensation cost to be recognized over the vesting period of the options based
on the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the Company's stock
and the option price on the grant date. As the Company has only issued fixed
term stock option grants at or above the quoted market price on the date of the
grant, there is no compensation expense recognized in the accompanying financial
statements. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, which
requires the Company to provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings
per share as if the optional fair value method had been applied to determine
compensation costs for the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

Accordingly, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table:

   ============================================================================

The above pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share do not
consider any related tax benefit from option exercises in the first quarters of
fiscal 2003 and 2002.

EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In January 2003, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51," ("FIN No. 46"), which requires all variable interest entities ("VIEs")
to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the
entity that holds the majority of the beneficial interests in the VIE. In
addition, the interpretation expands disclosure requirements for both variable
interest entities that are consolidated, as well as VIEs from which the entity
is the holder of a significant amount of the beneficial interests, but not the
majority. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are effective for
all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The consolidation
requirements of this interpretation are effective for all periods beginning
after June 15, 2003. The Company does not have any disclosure related to FIN No.
46, and does not anticipate that the adoption of the consolidation requirement
of this interpretation will have a material effect on its results of operations
or financial condition.

                                        7

BACKGROUND

Presstek, Inc. ("Presstek (R)", "we" or "us"), incorporated in Delaware in 1987,
is a manufacturer, developer and marketer of digital laser imaging and
chemistry-free plate technologies for the printing and graphic arts industries.
Presstek's products and applications incorporate its patented Direct Imaging
("DI(R)") technologies and consumables for computer-to-plate ("CTP") and
direct-to-press applications. Presstek's DI technology enables "direct to press"
imaging, whereby the printing plates are imaged on the press directly from
digital files, bypassing numerous prepress procedures and chemical processes in
preparing jobs for presswork. Our CTP or off-press imaging allows operators of
conventional printing presses the ability to image plates directly from digital
files to the CTP device. The printer then uses these plates as they would a
traditional plate, but without the chemical processes required for conventional
plates.

Our patented DI thermal laser diode product family enables customers to produce
high quality, full-color lithographic printed materials more quickly and cost
effectively than conventional methods. Our DI technology eliminates photographic
darkrooms, film, and chemical processing, which results in reduced turn-around
time and lowers the effective cost of production for commercial printers. We
lead our industry with an environmentally friendly process that avoids the
chemicals associated with plate development. Our DI technologies, which use
digital information and high-powered semiconductor laser diodes to create images
on our patented printing plate materials, are marketed to leading press
manufacturers and are used in our Dimension(R) series of CTP systems. Presstek's
Dimension CTP systems incorporate our patented ProFire(R) laser imaging
technology and use our chemistry free printing plate, Anthem(R).

Presstek's CTP workflow and automated DI printing technology not only complement
digital publishing technology, they also are designed to help printers meet the
short-run, quick turn-around, color demands

                                       11


of the marketplace. By significantly increasing the efficiency with which jobs
are prepared for print, Presstek's technology is designed to make shorter
printing runs more feasible at lower costs. Presstek's technology utilizes the
offset lithographic method of applying ink to paper that is universally accepted
by printers and consumers, and produces the versatile, high-quality
characteristics they require.

Lasertel, Inc. ("Lasertel"), a subsidiary of Presstek, is primarily engaged in
the manufacture and development of high-powered laser diodes. Lasertel's
products include semiconductor lasers and active components for the graphics,
industrial and defense industries. Lasertel offers high-powered laser diodes in
both standard and customized configurations, including chip on sub-mount,
un-mounted bars, and fiber-coupled devices, to support various applications.

We operate and report on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year, ending on the Saturday
closest to December 31. Accordingly, the financial statements include the
thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2003 ("the first quarter of fiscal 2003"),
and March 30, 2002 ("the first quarter of fiscal 2002").

We operate in two reportable segments, the Digital Imaging Products segment and
the Lasertel segment. The Digital Imaging Products segment is primarily engaged
in the development, manufacture and sale of Presstek's patented digital imaging
systems and printing plate technologies for CTP and direct-to-press
applications. The Lasertel segment is primarily engaged in the manufacture and
development of high-powered laser diodes for Presstek and other customers.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

GENERAL

Presstek's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations are 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, liabilities, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. On an on-going basis, Presstek evaluates its estimates,
including those related to product returns, allowances for doubtful accounts,
inventories, long-lived assets, warranty obligations, and litigation. Presstek
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements. Presstek's significant accounting policies are presented
in Note 1 of our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 28, 2002, filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission on March 28, 2003.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Presstek recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"). Under SAB
No. 101, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists,
delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer
is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

We record revenue for product sales net of estimated returns, which are adjusted
periodically, based upon historical rates of return. Revenue and related
royalties for products sold where installation is not required is recorded at
the time of shipment. Revenue for products that require installation, for which
the installation is not deemed inconsequential, is recognized upon completion of
installation and customer acceptance. Revenue related to service maintenance
agreements is recognized ratably over the duration of the

                                       12


particular contract. Certain fees and other reimbursements are recognized as
revenue when the related services have been performed or the revenue otherwise
earned. Deferred revenue includes certain customer advances received as a result
of our distribution agreements. This revenue is recognized as product is shipped
or services are performed.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Presstek evaluates its accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and establishes
an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specific customer circumstances and
on its historical rate of write-offs. We include any accounts receivable
balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve,
in an overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a
receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
While we believe the allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 29, 2003 is
adequate, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES

Presstek warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship for
various periods, determined by the product, generally from a period of ninety
days to a period of one year from the date of installation. We provide for the
estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we
engage in product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is
affected by product failure rates, material usage and service costs incurred in
correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material
usage or service costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated
warranty liability would be required.

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 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.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets and property and equipment, are
evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such
impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value.

                                       13


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUE

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 of $22.4 million consisted of
product sales, customer support revenue, royalties and license fees. Revenue for
the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased $1.6 million or 8%, compared to $20.8
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Product sales for the Digital Imaging Products segment including the sale of
equipment and consumables, were $21.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2003, an increase of $1.5 million or 8%, as compared to $19.8 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase in product sales was due primarily to
volume increases in sales of our CTP Dimension platesetter products, and volume
increases of the 46 Karat press sold to Koenig & Bauer, AG ("KBA"). This revenue
increase was partially offset set by decreased press shipments of the DocuColor
233DI.

The revenue generated from the sale of consumable products was $13.6 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 2003, a decrease of $100,000 or 1%, as compared to
$13.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Consumable product revenue
includes sales under our agreements with Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG
("Heidelberg") and its distributors of $5.6 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2003, a decrease of $200,000 or 3%, as compared to $5.8 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002.

In March 2003, we expanded the product offerings to select dealers in our
European distribution channel to include the sale of Quickmaster DI consumables.
In connection with this offering, we reduced pricing on our full line of spooled
consumables distributed through this dealer channel up to 20%. This new pricing
may reduce the revenue generated by Presstek from its spooled consumable
products by up to $3.0 million in fiscal 2003. While the expected lost revenue
resulting from the price reduction may be offset by increased revenue from
spooled consumable sales derived from additional presses installed and increased
usage of spooled consumables, there can be no assurance that this expected lost
revenue will be offset. In addition, market conditions may require us to expand
the regions in which we offer reduced prices, or to further reduce our spooled
consumable prices, which could further reduce our revenues in 2003 and beyond.
This could have a material adverse effect on our relationship with Heidelberg,
as well as our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue generated from services related to customer support, including
installation and service contract revenue, was $470,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2003, an increase of $59,000 or 14%, as compared to $411,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase relates primarily to the sale of
service maintenance agreements related to our CTP Dimension products.

Royalties and fees from licensees for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were $1.1
million, an increase of $100,000, or 10%, as compared to $1.0 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase relates primarily to royalties
generated from increased shipments to Heidelberg for direct imaging kits used in
the Quickmaster DI. Heidelberg has indicated, however, as a result of the global
economic slowdown, that it has an inventory of direct imaging kits on hand to
support its production requirements for at least six months. We currently
believe that orders for direct imaging kits may not resume until sometime in the
first half of 2004, however, there can be no assurance that any orders will be
received.

In connection with the settlement of our arbitration proceedings with Heidelberg
in a prior year, we reduced the royalty payable by Heidelberg for imaging kits
delivered in connection with the Heidelberg Quickmaster 46 DI by approximately
$9,000 per kit. This reduced royalty rate became effective for imaging kits
ordered and delivered after May 1, 2002.

Revenue generated under our agreements with Heidelberg and its distributors was
$7.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, a decrease of $100,000 or 1%,
as compared to $7.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenue from
Heidelberg represented 35% and 38% of total revenue for the first quarters of
fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively.

                                       14


Heidelberg recently announced that it plans to introduce a competitive plate
product, as an alternative to Presstek's PEARLdry for the Quickmaster DI,
beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. While it is too early to
estimate the impact this plate may have on our business or our relationship with
Heidelberg, the introduction of a competitive plate could reduce the revenue
generated by Presstek under its agreements with Heidelberg. This could also lead
to downward pricing pressure for our full line of spooled consumable products,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations or financial condition.

In March 2003, we negotiated the termination of our supply and distribution
agreement with Xerox for DocuColor DI presses. Xerox will no longer sell the
DocuColor 233 DI-4, the DocuColor 400 DI-4 and the DocuColor 400 DI-5 presses
and related consumables. The revenue generated from the sale of these presses
was not material in fiscal 2002, and as a result, the termination of this
agreement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations or financial condition.

Revenue for the Lasertel segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was
$275,000, and primarily related to the sale of products for defense industry
applications. Product sales to external customers for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 were not material.

COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

Cost of products sold consists of the cost of material, labor and overhead,
shipping and handling costs and warranty expenses. Cost of products sold for the
Digital Imaging Products segment was $12.2 million or 54% of revenue for the
first quarter of fiscal 2003, an increase of $600,000 or 5%, as compared to
$11.6 million or 56% of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This
increase relates primarily to increased production costs driven by increased
sales volume. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the Digital
Imaging Products segment was 46% for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, as
compared to 44% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The gross margin
improvement for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily the result of
lower warranty costs.

Cost of products sold for the Lasertel segment was $700,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 2003, a decrease of $500,000 or 42% as compared to $1.2
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in manufacturing
costs relates primarily to decreased salaries and benefits due to yield
improvements, as well as head count reductions undertaken in the first six
months of fiscal 2002.

RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

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

Research and product development expenses for the Digital Imaging Products
segment were $1.7 million or 8% of revenue, a decrease of $1.1 million, as
compared to $2.8 million or 13% of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
The decrease relates primarily to a reduction in the number of development
programs which resulted in reduced expenditures in salaries and benefits, parts
and supplies, and professional and contractor services. Presstek's product
development cycle centers around major industry trade shows, and as a result,
our research and product development expenses vary in accordance with our
product development cycle.

Research and product development expenses for the Lasertel segment were
$270,000, an increase of $235,000, as compared to $35,000 for the first quarter
of fiscal 2002. The increase relates primarily to increased salaries and
benefits and parts and supplies to support Lasertel's additional research and
product development activities.

                                       15


SALES, MARKETING AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

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

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses for the Digital Imaging Products
segment were $2.8 million or 13% of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal
2003, an increase of $400,000, as compared to $2.4 million, or 12% of revenue
for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase relates primarily to
increased salaries and benefits, as a result of head count increases in the
first quarter of fiscal 2003, as well as increased professional and contracted
services to support increased promotional activities directed at product
distribution.

Sales and marketing expenses for our Lasertel segment were $68,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 2003, a decrease of $15,000, as compared to $83,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease was primarily related to reduced
promotional activities.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

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

General and administrative expenses for the Digital Imaging Products segment
were $2.5 million or 11% of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, an
increase of $600,000, as compared to $1.9 million or 9% of revenue for the first
quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase relates primarily to increased salaries and
benefits as a result of increased head count in the first quarter of fiscal
2003.

General and administrative expenses for the Lasertel segment were $278,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2003, a decrease of $60,000, as compared to $338,000
for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. This decrease relates primarily to reduced
professional services.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of net interest expense, and
other miscellaneous expenses.

Interest expense, net was $153,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, a
decrease of $78,000 as compared to $231,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
2002. Interest income was $71,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, an
increase of $57,000, as compared to $14,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
2002, primarily as a result of increased cash balances available for investment.
Interest expense was $224,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, a decrease
of $21,000, as compared to $245,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002,
primarily as a result of lower average debt balances and lower interest rates on
borrowings.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

We did not record a provision for federal or state income taxes as a result of
the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards for the first quarters of
fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002.

NET INCOME

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of $1.8 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2003, as compared to net income of $183,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 2002.

                                       16


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We finance our operating and capital investment requirements primarily through
cash flows from operations and borrowings. At March 29, 2003, we had cash and
cash equivalents of $20.6 million and working capital of $31.3 million as
compared to cash and cash equivalents of $17.6 million and working capital of
$28.6 million at December 28, 2002. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$3.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily due to net cash
provided by operating activities of $4.1 million, offset by cash of $1.1 million
used in investing and financing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.1 million for the first quarter
of fiscal 2003, due primarily to net income of $1.8 million, non-cash charges of
depreciation, amortization, and other charges of $3.5 million, a decrease in net
inventories of $1.2 million, offset by increases in accounts receivable of $2.1
million. The increase in accounts receivable is attributable to the timing of
sales later in the quarter. The decrease in inventories is primarily the result
of inventory management programs initiated in fiscal 2002.

Net cash used in investing activities was $373,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2003, and consisted primarily of additions to property, plant and
equipment, net of proceeds from the sale of equipment used in the business.

Net cash used in financing activities was $709,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2003, and consisted primarily of payments on the mortgage term loans and
the equipment lease line of credit facility.

Our long-term debt consists of two mortgage term loans from Citizens Bank New
Hampshire ("Citizens"), and a lease line of credit from Keybank National
Association ("Keybank").

The first mortgage term loan is a 1998 ten-year mortgage term loan from Citizens
in the amount of $6.9 million and bears a fixed rate of interest of 7.12% per
year during the first five years, and a variable rate of interest at the LIBOR
rate plus 2%, (3.3% at March 29, 2003) for the remaining five years. Principal
and interest payments during the first five years of the loan will be made in 60
monthly installments of $80,500. During the remaining five years, principal and
interest payments will be made on a monthly basis in the amount of one-sixtieth
of the outstanding principal amount as of the first day of the second five year
period, plus accrued interest through the monthly payment date. All outstanding
principal and accrued interest is due and payable on February 6, 2008.

The second mortgage term loan is a 2000 ten-year mortgage term loan in the
amount of $4.0 million and bears a fixed rate of interest equal to 7.95% per
year during the first five years, and a fixed rate of interest equal to United
States Treasury Notes or Bills with a maturity date closest to the end of the
second five years plus 225 basis points for the remaining five years. During the
first five years, principal and interest payments will be made in 60 monthly
installments of $34,993 plus interest. During the remaining five years,
principal and interest payments will be made on a monthly basis in the amount of
one-sixtieth of the outstanding principal amount as of the first day of the
second five year period, plus accrued interest through the monthly payment date.
All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable on
October 30, 2010.

The two mortgage term loans are secured by land and buildings with a cost and
net book value of approximately $25.7 million and $22.1 million, respectively.

We also borrowed $13.0 million against a $15.0 million lease line of credit
facility, which expired in April 2002, from Keybank pursuant to a 1999 loan
agreement. The $13.0 million in borrowings is secured by equipment with a cost
and net book value at March 29, 2003 of $18.4 million and $12.2 million,
respectively. The loan bears a variable rate of interest based upon the LIBOR
rate plus 4.25% (5.55% at March 29, 2003) or the prime rate (4.25% at March 29,
2003), with a future fixed rate conversion provision. Principal and interest
under the Keybank lease line of credit are payable in 84 monthly installments.

                                       17


In addition to the Citizens' mortgage term loans and the borrowings under the
Keybank lease line of credit, we also have a revolving line of credit loan with
Citizens, under which we may borrow a maximum of $16.0 million. This revolving
line of credit, which expires in October 2003, is subject to a borrowing base
formula based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories, as defined by the
revolving line of credit loan agreement, and reduced by the amount of all
letters of credit outstanding. The revolving line of credit loan is secured by
substantially all of our assets, with interest payable at the LIBOR rate plus
1.50% (2.8% at March 29, 2003). As of March 29, 2003, we had $14.2 million
available under the revolving line of credit loan, reduced by $6.3 million
outstanding under standby letters of credit.

Under the terms of the Citizens' mortgage term loans, the Keybank lease line of
credit and the Citizens' revolving line of credit, we are required to meet
various restrictive covenants on a quarterly and annual basis, including maximum
funded debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. As of March
29, 2003, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

We have future contractual payment obligations through 2010 that primarily
relate to debt, royalty obligations, executive contractual obligations and
operating leases. The following table represents our future commitments at March
29, 2003 and December 28, 2002:

                                                         MAR 29        Dec 28

     ===========================================================================

Our anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 2003 are approximately $2.0
million, and primarily relate to the purchase of capital equipment to be used in
the production of our DI and CTP equipment and consumable products.

Heidelberg recently announced that it plans to introduce a competitive plate
product as an alternative to Presstek's PEARLdry for the Quickmaster DI,
beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. While it is too early to
estimate the impact this plate may have on our business or our relationship with
Heidelberg, the introduction of a competitive plate could reduce the revenue
generated by Presstek under its relationship with Heidelberg. This could also
lead to downward pricing pressure for our full line of spooled consumable
products, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

We believe that existing funds, cash flows from operations, and cash available
under our Citizens' revolving line of credit should be sufficient to satisfy
working capital requirements and capital expenditures through the term of the
Citizens' revolving line of credit loan agreement, which expires in October
2003. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to renew this
loan agreement, will not require additional financing, or that such additional
financing, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms.

EFFECT OF INFLATION

Inflation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact upon our
operations.

                                       18


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
        -----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates primarily as a
result of our borrowing activities, and to a lesser extent, our investing
activities. The majority of our long-term borrowings are in fixed rate
instruments, or variable rate instruments with fixed rate conversion provisions.
We do not enter into interest rate swap agreements or other speculative or
leveraged transactions. We currently have no material exposure to interest rate
fluctuations on our short-term investments.

We have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. While
substantially all of our transactions are currently denominated in U.S. dollars,
a limited number of sales transactions are denominated in our customers'
currency. To date, the currency exposure related to these transactions has not
been material. Furthermore, some of our customers and strategic partners are not
located in the United States, and are themselves subject to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. If the home country currency of these customers and
strategic partners were to decrease in value relative to the United States
dollar, their ability to purchase and/or 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, some of our 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 United States dollar could cause fluctuations in
supply pricing which could have an adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
        ------------------------

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within ninety days prior to the filing date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have, under the supervision and with
the participation of the Presstek's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of Presstek's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule
13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, Presstek's Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date,
Presstek's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that
material information relating to Presstek (including its consolidated
subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by Presstek in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information
is accumulated and communicated to Presstek's management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in Presstek's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect Presstek's internal controls subsequent
to the Evaluation Date.
