PRESSTEK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 3, 2010
(Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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

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

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

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

Use of Estimates

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

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


2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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

Lasertel

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

Lasertel incurred an operating loss of $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 prior to the sale date. Presstek recorded a minor adjustment in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Presstek recorded a gain on the disposition of Lasertel of $0.5 million during the six months ended July 3, 2010, bringing the aggregate loss from discontinued operations for the first half of fiscal 2010 to approximately $0.1 million.

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.  The implied fair value of the goodwill computed in step two was less than the book value of the goodwill requiring the Company to book an impairment charge. Upon completion of step two of the analysis, the Company wrote off the entire goodwill balance. This resulted in an impairment loss of $19.1 million in the quarter ended July 4, 2009.

January 2,

Line of credit
  $ 11,184     $ 17,910  

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as Lender and as administrative agent for Lenders (PNC, in such agency capacity, the “Agent”).
 
The Credit Agreement replaces the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2004, as amended, among the Company and RBS Citizens, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Lender, KeyBank National Association and TD Bank, N.A. 
 
The new Credit Agreement, maturing in three years from the date of the Credit Agreement, provides for funding of up to $25.0 million.  Borrowing availability under the Revolver is determined on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.  The Company may terminate the Credit Agreement at any time prior to the maturity date upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and upon payment in full of all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement.  If the Company terminates the Credit Agreement within the first 35 months after the date on which the Credit Agreement is entered into, the Company must pay an early termination fee as specified in the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay a portion of borrowings under the Credit Agreement out of the proceeds of certain dispositions of property.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate. The Revolving Interest Rate is defined in the Credit Agreement as an interest rate per annum equal to (i) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two and one half percent (2.50%) with respect to domestic rate loans and (ii) the sum of three and one-half percent (3.50%) plus the greater of (a) the Eurodollar rate, and (b) one percent (1.0%) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, as applicable.  The Alternate Base Rate is defined as a rate per annum, for any day, equal to the higher of (i) PNC’s published reference rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Open rate in effect on such day plus one half of one percent (0.50%) and (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate in effect on such day plus one percent (1.0%).  The Credit Agreement requires

monthly interest payments with respect to domestic rate loans and at the end of each interest period with respect to Eurodollar rate loans.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that guaranty the obligations of the Company, including all receivables, equipment, general intangibles, inventory, investment property, subsidiary stock, owned real property and leasehold interests of the Company. 

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 and quarter.  Because of the timing delay, the Agent utilizes a process that estimates the maximum amount available daily during each fiscal period.  As of July 3, 2010 the Formula Amount was $16.4 million and the Company had outstanding balances on its line of credit of $11.2 million with an interest rate of 4.63%.  The amount available under the credit line, based on the Formula Amount, was $5.3 million as of July 3, 2010.  The computed preliminary availability based on the daily estimation process was $2.7 million as of that date.  At January 2, 2010, the Company had outstanding balances on its previous line of credit of $17.9 million with interest rates of 7.25% and an amount available under the credit line of $6.8 million.  

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

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings was 4.63% at July 3, 2010.

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

Non-Plan Stock Options

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

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

The Company’s tax expense/(tax benefit) was ($0.4) million and $16.9 million for the three months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively, on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million and $23.0 million for the respective periods. The Company’s tax provision was  ($0.5) million and $16.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively, on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations of ($2.9) million and ($24.3) million for the respective periods.  The tax benefit of $0.4 million for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 primarily relates to net operating losses incurred by the Company’s UK subsidiary that are expected to be utilized in future periods.

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

In analyzing the available evidence, management evaluated historical financial performance, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and reversals of temporary differences.  The Company’s evaluation is based on current tax laws.

Changes in existing laws and future results that differ from expectations may result in significant changes to the deferred tax assets valuation allowance.

At July 4, 2009.the Company recorded a $16.8 million valuation allowance associated with certain U.S. Federal and state net operating losses, tax credits and temporary differences included in the Company’s deferred tax assets.

At July 3, 2010, our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, amounted to $1.8 million which is associated with the Company’s European and Canadian entities. However, if future events differ from expectations, an increase or decrease of the valuation allowance may be required.  A change in the valuation allowance occurs if there is a change in management’s assessment of the amount of net deferred tax assets that is expected to be realized in the future.

Commitments & Contingencies

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

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

On February 4, 2008, the Company received from the SEC a formal order of investigation relating to the previously disclosed SEC inquiry regarding the Company's announcement of preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.  On July 22, 2009 the Company received a “Wells” Notice from the staff of the SEC informing the Company that the staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against the Company alleging that the Company violated Section 10(b) and 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b-5 and regulation Fair Disclosure thereunder.  The SEC staff also informed the Company that in connection with the contemplated charges, the staff may seek a permanent injunction and civil penalties. On March 9, 2010 the Company announced that it had reached a settlement of the SEC investigation and agreed to pay a civil penalty of $400,000.  On July 12, 2010 the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts approved the settlement, and the Company paid the civil penalty on July 22, 2010. This matter is now concluded.

                   PRESSTEK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
July 3, 2010
(Unaudited)

In February 2008 we filed a complaint with the ITC against VIM and its manufacturing partner Hanita Coatings for infringement of Presstek’s patent and trademark rights. Presstek also sued four U.S. based distributors of VIM products: Spicers Paper, Inc., Guaranteed Service & Supplies, Inc., Ohio Graphco Inc., and Recognition Systems Inc., as well as one Canadian based distributor, AteCe Canada. The Company has settled with Ohio Graphco Inc., which has agreed to cease the importation, use and sale of VIM plates and also agreed to cooperate with the ITC in its investigation of VIM’s alleged patent infringement. Presstek sought, among other things, an order from the ITC forbidding the importation and sale of the VIM printing plates in the United States; such an order would be enforced at all U.S. borders by the U.S. Customs Service. On November 30, 2009 the ITC determined that VIM infringed Presstek’s valid and enforceable patents and ordered that the importation of the infringing VIM products into the United States be banned.  The ITC order took effect on January 30, 2010 following a required 60-day Presidential review period. In April 2008 we filed a Complaint against VIM in the Regional Court in Dusseldorf, Germany 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 has appealed this decision. On June 25, 2010 the infringement appeals court confirmed its opinion that VIM infringes Presstek's German Patent, and dismissed VIM's appeal.  In addition, VIM initiated a separate German court proceeding seeking to have the Company’s European patents declared invalid, and the Company is contesting this action; on June 4, 2010 the German court declared all but one of the contested patents to be valid and enforceable.


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


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

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

Overview of the Company

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

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

Commencing with this report, the Company’s reports filed with the SEC will reflect that the Company conducts business in one industry segment as a result of its sale of Lasertel on March 5, 2010.  Prior to March 5, 2010, we conducted business in two segments: (i) Presstek and (ii) Lasertel. On September 24, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Lasertel subsidiary; as such the Company has presented the results of operations of this subsidiary within discontinued operations.

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

Strategy

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

General

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

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

Three and six months ended July 3, 2010 compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2009

Revenue

Consolidated revenue was $31.6 million and $66.1 million, respectively, for the second quarter and the first six months of 2010, a reduction of $1.9 million from the respective 2009 periods.  The revenue declines were primarily caused by decreases in “traditional” consumables and service revenues partially offset by increases in our “growth” consumables, DI plates and thermal CTP plates, in both periods.

Equipment product revenue was $4.7 million and $11.1 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to $5.2 million and $10.2 million in the same prior year periods.  Equipment revenue decreased by $0.5 million in the second quarter compared to the 2009 quarter.  After two consecutive quarters of sequential growth, equipment revenue declined in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter results.  In the second quarter we saw a reluctance by our North American base of small to mid-sized customers to make capital equipment purchases primarily due to reduced access to financing and an increased skepticism that the US economic recovery was sustainable in the near term.  Even with the second quarter year-on-year decline, 2010 year-to-date equipment revenue levels represent an increase of $0.9 million compared to the first six months of 2009.  Gross revenue of “growth” portfolio DI presses and peripherals decreased to $2.7 million in the current year second quarter from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2009.  However, for the first six months of 2010 DI equipment revenue increased to $7.5 million from $7.2 million in the prior year period.  Gross revenue of our remaining “growth” portfolio of equipment, Dimension Excel, Dimension Pro, Compass, and Vector platesetters, declined from $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $1.0 million in the current year quarter and declined from $2.6 million for the first six months of 2009 to $2.0 million for the current year period.  Equipment sales of our “traditional” line of products, defined as QMDI presses, polyester CTP platesetters, and conventional equipment, increased from $0.6 million in the 2009 second quarter to $1.2 million in the current year’s quarter.  Gross revenue from our “traditional” line of equipment products increased in the year-to-date 2010 period compared to the similar period in 2009 from $1.8 million in 2009 to $2.0 million in the current year period.  As a percentage of gross equipment revenue, sales of “growth” portfolio products decreased to 74% of revenue in the second fiscal quarter of 2010 from 87% in the second fiscal quarter of 2009 and decreased from 83% in the first six months of 2009 to 80% in the 2010 period.
 
 
Consumables product revenue declined from $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $20.7 million in the current year quarter and from $43.0 million for the first six months of 2009 to $42.2 million in the 2010 period.  Despite increases in our “growth” plate portfolio, overall consumables product revenue has declined due to lower sales of our “traditional” portfolio of consumables.    Sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of consumables, defined as 52DI, 34DI, and thermal CTP plates, increased to $8.4 million in the current quarter from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 and to $16.5 million in the first six months of 2010 from $15.4 million in the 2009 period.  Overall sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of DI plates increased to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $4.3 million in the prior year and increased to $8.7 million in the first six months of 2010 from $8.3 million in the 2009 period.  Sales of thermal CTP plates increased by 7.7% in the 2010 second quarter from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 and increased 8.7% for the year-to-date 2010 period compared to $7.1 million in the first six months of 2009.   Sales of Presstek’s “traditional” plate products, consisting of QMDI, other DI, and polyester plates, declined from $7.6 million in second quarter 2009 to $7.0 million in the current year’s quarter and from $15.8 million in the first six months of 2009 to $14.8 million in the current year period.  Sales of other “traditional” consumables products declined year-over-year from $5.4 million to $5.2 million for the quarter and from $11.7 million to $10.8 million for the six month period.

Service and parts revenue was $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $12.7 million for the first six months of 2010, reflecting decreases of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, from the prior year periods.  These reductions are due primarily to the impacts on service of the overall decrease in equipment placements 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 $16.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 and $34.3 million in the first six months of 2010, compared to $17.1 million and $33.5 million, respectively, in 2009, a decrease of 4.3% for the quarter and an increase of 2.5% for the first six months.  The quarterly decrease was due primarily to a 3.3% decline in product revenues and improved manufacturing productivity related to our consumables products.  The year-to-date increase is primarily due to a shift in the product revenue mix during the first six months of 2010 to be more heavily weighted toward equipment sales, which have a higher portion of cost related to them offset by improved consumables manufacturing productivity.

Consolidated cost of service and parts was $4.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 and $10.1 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010, compared to $5.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively, in the same prior year periods.  These amounts represent the costs of spare parts, labor and overhead associated with the ongoing service of products.  The reduction in overall cost is due primarily to a declining revenue base.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 32.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 32.9% in the 2009 second quarter; and 32.8% in the first six months of 2010 compared to 34.0% for the first six months of 2009.

Gross profit as a percentage of product revenues for both the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first six months of 2010 was 35.7%, compared to 35.0% and 37.1%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. The increase in the quarter of 0.7 percentage points compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to improved manufacturing productivity related to our consumables products and a favorable mix of products with a lower proportion of equipment revenue which typically has lower margins; partially offset by reduced equipment manufacturing productivity and a higher portion of “traditional” equipment.  The gross profit percentage reduction compared to the first six months of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to an unfavorable mix of products for the six month period with a higher proportion of equipment revenue which typically has lower margins and reduced productivity in our Hudson, NH manufacturing facility due to reduced volume levels.

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues decreased from 25.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 23.0% for the first six months of 2009 to 19.5% and 20.7%, respectively, for the related 2010 periods.  These reductions are primarily due to reduced service revenues during 2010 from fewer equipment installations and reduced service and maintenance calls which have lowered overall service productivity.

Research and Development

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

Research and development expenses were $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009; and $2.1 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $2.4 million for the 2009 period.  These year-on-year reductions are due primarily to lower payroll expenses, lower supplies costs and reduced professional service fees due to the timing of development projects.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

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

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses decreased from $6.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 16.0%.  Year-to-date selling, marketing and customer support expenses have declined by $2.2 million, or 16.5%, from $13.2 million in the first six months of 2009.  The reductions in expense resulted primarily from lower payroll costs, professional service fees and travel related costs; offsetting an increase in tradeshow costs in the second quarter of 2010 related primarily to the IPEX tradeshow, which occurs once every four years.

General and Administrative

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

General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $6.3 million in 2009, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 20.0%.   Compared to the first six months of 2009 general and administrative expenses have declined by $2.2 million, or 17.6%, to $10.1 million for the 2010 period.  Lower expenses resulted primarily from lower payroll expenses, professional service costs and bad debt charges; partially offset by an increase in costs related to the 2010 bonus plan, which is a non-cash expense.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense was $0.2 million in the second quarter of both fiscal 2010 and 2009.  For the first six months of 2010 amortization expense was $0.4 million compared to $0.5 million for the 2009 period.  These expenses relate to intangible assets recorded in connection with the Company’s 2004 ABDick acquisition, patents and other purchased intangible assets.

Restructuring and Other Charges

The Company had only minor restructuring and other charges in the first six months for both fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009.

Goodwill Impairment

 In the second quarter of 2009, the Company wrote off its entire remaining goodwill balance, resulting in an impairment loss of $19.1 million.  The non-cash goodwill impairment charge did 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 Expense, Net

Net interest and other expense was $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Year-to date net interest and other expense was $0.9 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to net interest and other income of $0.2 million in the prior year period.

On March 5, 2010, we entered into a new asset based revolving credit facility and repaid all amounts outstanding under the prior revolving credit facility.  Net interest expense of $0.6 million in the first six months of 2010 reflected an increase of $0.3 million from the comparable prior year period due to higher interest rates in 2010 under the forbearance agreement with our prior revolving credit facility lender and under our new asset based revolving credit facility. Additionally, included in the 2010 second quarter interest expense is $0.1 million for the amortization of loan origination costs.

The amounts reported as other income (expense), net include, among other items, losses on foreign currency transactions of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the 2010 and 2009 second quarters and $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009; and a $1.2 million gain from the settlement of a lawsuit in the first quarter of 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes

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

The Company’s tax provision/( benefit) was ($0.4) million and $16.9 million for the three months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively, on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million and $23.0 million for the respective periods.  The Company’s tax provision(benefit) was ($0.5) million and $16.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010 and July 4, 2009, respectively, on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations of ($2.9) million and ($24.3) million for the respective periods.  The tax benefit of $0.4 million for the three month period ended July 3, 2010 primarily relates to net operating losses incurred by the Company’s UK subsidiary that are expected to be utilized in future periods.

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

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

At July 4, 2009 the Company recorded a $16.8 million valuation allowance associated with certain U.S. Federal and state net operating losses, tax credits and temporary differences included in the Company’s deferred tax assets.

At July 3, 2010, our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, amounted to $1.8 million which is associated with the Company’s European and Canadian entities.  However, if future events differ from expectations, an increase or decrease of the valuation allowance may be required.  A change in the valuation allowance occurs if there is a change in management’s assessment of the amount of net deferred tax assets that is expected to be realized in the future.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 3, 2010 was 17.06%.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 3, 2010 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 34% primarily due to lower income tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the fact that the Company has not provided any current benefit on losses generated in the U.S. for the six months ended July 3, 2010.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 4, 2009 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance during the six months ended July 4, 2009 with respect to the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of fiscal 2009 as well as the lower income tax rates in foreign jurisdictions.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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

Lasertel

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

Lasertel incurred an operating loss of $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 prior to the sale date. Presstek recorded a minor adjustment in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Presstek recorded a gain on the disposition of Lasertel of $0.5 million during the six months ended July 3, 2010, bringing the aggregate loss from discontinued operations for the first half of fiscal 2010 to approximately $0.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition (Sources and Uses of Cash)

We finance our operating and capital investment requirements primarily through cash flows from operations and borrowings.  At July 3, 2010, we had $2.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $24.7 million of working capital, including $11.2 million of short-term debt, compared to $4.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $25.1 million of working capital, including $17.6 million of short-term debt at July 4, 2009.

Continuing Operations

Our operating activities used $2.7 million of cash in the six months ended July 3, 2010.  Cash used in operating activities came from a use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities and a net loss of $2.4 million partially offset by positive adjustments of $4.6 million for non-cash depreciation, amortization, provisions for warranty costs, accounts receivable allowances, stock compensation expense, and non-cash bonus expense.  The use of cash related to operating assets and liabilities was, in large part, due to a decrease of $0.9 million in deferred revenue, a decrease of $3.4 million in accrued expenses, an increase in inventory of $1.4 million, and an increase in accounts receivable of $0.6 million offset by an increase of accounts payable of $1.9 million. The change in accrued expenses was due mainly to the timing of transactions and related payments.

We used $1.4 million of net cash for investing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2010 primarily comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment and additions to developed technology costs.  Our additions to property, plant and equipment relate primarily to equipment provided to our CTP plate customers. The additions to developed technology relate to the design and prototyping of our new 75DI digital offset press.

Our financing activities used $7.6 million of cash, comprised primarily of $6.7 million of cash repayments under our lines of credit, plus $1.0 million of cash payments related to establishment of our new financing facility.

Discontinued Operations

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

 Liquidity
On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as Lender and as administrative agent for Lenders (PNC, in such agency capacity, the “Agent”).
 
The Credit Agreement replaces the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2004, as amended, among the Company and RBS Citizens, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Lender, KeyBank National Association and TD Bank, N.A. 
 
The new Credit Agreement, maturing in three years from the date of the Credit Agreement, provides for funding of up to $25.0 million.  Borrowing availability under the Revolver is determined on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.  The Company may terminate the Credit Agreement at any time prior to the maturity date upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and upon payment in full of all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement.  If the Company terminates the Credit Agreement within the first 35 months after the date on which the Credit Agreement is entered into, the Company must pay an early termination fee as specified in the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay a portion of borrowings under the Credit Agreement out of the proceeds of certain dispositions of property.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate. The Revolving Interest Rate is defined in the Credit Agreement as an interest rate per annum equal to (i) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus two and one half percent (2.50%) with respect to domestic rate loans and (ii) the sum of three and one-half percent (3.50%) plus the greater of (a) the Eurodollar rate, and (b) one percent (1.0%) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, as applicable.  The Alternate Base Rate is defined as a rate per annum, for any day, equal to the higher of (i) PNC’s published reference rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Open rate in effect on such day plus one half of one percent (0.50%) and (iii) the Daily LIBOR Rate in effect on such day plus one percent (1.0%).  The Credit Agreement requires monthly interest payments with respect to domestic rate loans and at the end of each interest period with respect to Eurodollar rate loans.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that guaranty the obligations of the Company, including all receivables, equipment, general intangibles, inventory, investment property, subsidiary stock, owned real property and leasehold interests of the Company. 

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 and quarter.  Because of the timing delay, the Agent utilizes a process that estimates the maximum amount available daily during each fiscal period.  As of July 3, 2010 the Formula Amount was $16.4 million and the Company had outstanding balances on its line of credit of $11.2 million with an interest rate of 4.63%.  The amount available under the credit line, based on the Formula Amount, was $5.3 million as of July 3, 2010.  The computed preliminary availability based on the daily estimation process was $2.7 million as of that date.  At January 2, 2010, the Company had outstanding balances on its previous line of credit of $17.9 million with interest rates of 7.25% and an amount available under the credit line of $6.8 million.  
 
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants.  Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt and make acquisitions and divestitures, with certain exceptions.  The key financial covenants include a requirement for the Company to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending January 1, 2011, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 and a limit on capital expenditures of $385,000 for the remainder of the Company’s first fiscal quarter in 2010, $1,238,000, $1,139,000 and $614,000 for the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of the Company for the remainder of 2010, respectively, and $4,000,000 in each fiscal year thereafter.  

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings was 4.63% at July 3, 2010.

Commitments and Contingencies

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

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


Effect of Inflation

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

 Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Litigation

On February 4, 2008, the Company received from the SEC a formal order of investigation relating to the previously disclosed SEC inquiry regarding the Company's announcement of preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. On July 22, 2009 the Company received a “Wells” Notice from the staff of the SEC informing the Company that the staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against the Company alleging that the Company violated Section 10(b) and 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b-5 and regulation Fair Disclosure thereunder.  The SEC staff also informed the Company that in connection with the contemplated charges, the staff may seek a permanent injunction and civil penalties. On March 9, 2010 the Company announced that it had reached a settlement of the SEC investigation and agreed to pay a civil penalty of $400,000.  On July 12, 2010 the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts approved the settlement, and the Company paid the civil penalty on July 22, 2010. The matter is now concluded.

In February 2008 we filed a complaint with the ITC against VIM and its manufacturing partner Hanita Coatings for infringement of Presstek’s patent and trademark rights. Presstek also sued four U.S. based distributors of VIM products: Spicers Paper, Inc., Guaranteed Service & Supplies, Inc., Ohio Graphco Inc., and Recognition Systems Inc., as well as one Canadian based distributor, AteCe Canada. The Company has settled with Ohio Graphco Inc., which has agreed to cease the importation, use and sale of VIM plates and also agreed to cooperate with the ITC in its investigation of VIM’s alleged patent infringement. Presstek sought, among other things, an order from the ITC forbidding the importation and sale of the VIM printing plates in the United States; such an order would be enforced at all U.S. borders by the U.S. Customs Service. On November 30, 2009 the ITC determined that VIM infringed Presstek’s valid and enforceable patents and ordered that the importation of the infringing VIM products into the United States be banned.  The ITC order took effect on January 30, 2010 following a required 60-day Presidential review period.  In April 2008 we filed a Complaint against VIM in the Regional Court in Dusseldorf, Germany 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 has appealed this decision. On June 25, 2010 the infringement appeals court confirmed its opinion that VIM infringes Presstek's German Patent, and dismissed VIM's appeal.  In addition, VIM initiated a separate German court proceeding seeking to have the Company’s European patents declared invalid, and the Company is contesting this action; on June 4, 2010 the German court declared all but one of the contested patents to be valid and enforceable.


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 routine and incidental actions to have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operation or financial condition.

Except as noted with respect to the proceedings noted above, during the three months ended April 3, 2010, there have been no material changes to legal proceedings from those considered in our Annual Report on From 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 24, 2010.
