NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, its results of operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 and its cash flows for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, 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 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 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 fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2011.
 
 
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 2, 2011 (the “second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011” or “the six months ended July 2, 2011”) and July 3, 2010 (the “second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010” or “the six months ended July 3, 2010”).

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Management believes the most judgmental estimates include those related to product returns; warranty obligations; allowance for doubtful accounts; slow-moving and obsolete inventories; income taxes; the valuation of  intangible assets, long-lived assets and deferred tax assets; stock-based compensation; and litigation. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other appropriate factors, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 1, 2011, which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2011.  There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the six months ended July 2, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 20011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. These amendments, effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is prohibited), result in a common definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon our financial position and results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This guidance, effective retrospectively for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is permitted), requires presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon our financial position and results of operations.

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 “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. For comparative purposes, all prior periods presented have been reclassified on a consistent basis.

On March 5, 2010, Presstek sold Lasertel to SELEX Galileo Inc. (“SELEX”). The sale of Lasertel to SELEX was for $8.0 million in cash and, in addition, Presstek was able to retain approximately $2.0 million of laser diodes inventory for Presstek’s future production requirements. Lasertel, as a subsidiary of SELEX, and in accordance with a supply agreement established between Lasertel and Presstek on March 5, 2010, will continue to manufacture semiconductor laser diodes for Presstek for an initial period of three years. 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.

Results of operations of the discontinued business of Lasertel included in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2010 consist of the following (in thousands, except per-share data):

Line of credit

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

Under the Credit Agreement the Company is required to provide monthly Borrowing Base Certificates to the Agent that become the basis for calculating the Credit Agreement’s Formula Amount.  The Formula Amount, capped at $25 million, represents the maximum amount of advances available to the Company at a given point in time.  The Formula Amount is normally calculated 20 days subsequent to the close of each fiscal month.  Because of the timing delay, the Agent utilizes a process that estimates the maximum amount available daily during each fiscal period.  As of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011 the Formula Amount was $17.9 million and $15.0 million, respectively. The Company had outstanding balances on its line of credit of $12.9 million and $10.3 million, at July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.  At July 2, 2011, there were $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, thereby reducing the amount available under the credit line, based on the Formula amount to $4.0 million. The amount available under the credit line, based on the Formula Amount, as of January 1, 2011 was $4.7 million.  The computed preliminary availability based on the daily estimation process was $1.6 million and $4.6 million as of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants.  Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt and make acquisitions and divestitures, with certain exceptions.  The key financial covenants include a requirement for the Company to maintain (i) for the fiscal quarter ending January 1, 2011, a fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of “EBITDA” as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the total of (i) interest expense, plus (ii) capital expenditures of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; (ii) for each quarter ending on or after April 2, 2011, for the four fiscal quarter periods then ended, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (iii) an annual limit on capital expenditures of $4.0 million in each fiscal year beginning in 2011.  

As of January 1, 2011 and July 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.  The fixed charge ratio for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 was 3.5 to 1.0, in excess of the 1.0 to 1.0 minimum required ratio.  The fixed charge ratio for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 was 3.5 to 1.0, also in excess of the 1.0 to 1.0 minimum required ratio.  Additionally, since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company’s capital expenditures have been below the maximum levels allowed.

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings was 4.54% at July 2, 2011.

With respect to all stock options previously granted to the Company’s current executive officers and other current employees and Non-Employee Directors under the 2003 Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee approved on September 30, 2010 an amendment to the exercise prices of such options so that each such option outstanding shall have an exercise price equal to the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date of $2.19 per share.  The amendment did not change the vesting schedules or any of the other terms of the respective stock options.   This modification affected 331 employees who held 724,300 stock options on September 30, 2010.  For purposes of stock activity disclosure the amended options are treated as option cancellations and new option grants with the only change from the original grant being the revised option price. 

2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan

13. INCOME TAXES

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

The Company’s tax provision (benefit) was $0.2 million and ($0.4) million for the three months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively, on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the respective periods.  The Company’s tax provision was $0.2 million and ($0.5) million for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively, on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations of ($3.1) million and ($2.9) million for the respective periods.

At July 2, 2011, our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, were zero.  However, if future events differ from expectations, changes in 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.

Presstek is a market-focused high technology company that designs, manufactures and distributes proprietary and non-proprietary solutions to the printing and communications industries, primarily serving short-run, full-color customers. The Company’s operations are organized based on the market application of our products and related services and until the quarter ended April 3, 2010 consisted of two business segments: Presstek and Lasertel.

From time to time the Company engages in sales of equipment that is leased by or intended to be leased by a third-party purchaser to another party. In certain situations, the Company may retain recourse obligations to a financing institution involved in providing financing to the ultimate lessee in the event the lessee of the equipment defaults on its lease obligations. In certain such instances, the Company may refurbish and remarket the equipment on behalf of the financing company, should the ultimate lessee default on payment of the lease. In certain circumstances, should the resale price of such equipment fall below certain predetermined levels, the Company would, under these arrangements, reimburse the financing company for any such shortfall in sale price (a “shortfall payment”). Generally, the Company’s liability for these recourse agreements is limited to 9.5% of the amount outstanding. The maximum amount for which the Company was liable to the financial institutions for the shortfall payments was approximately $0.7 million at July 2, 2011 and $1.2 million at July 3, 2010.


Litigation

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

Presstek is a party to 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.


18.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In response to renewed economic weakness and its expected impact on future revenue levels, along with the desire to maintain its focus on the 75DI, the Company has initiated additional cost reductions during the third quarter that will improve its overall cash availability and help ensure the Company’s continuing compliance with the financial covenants under its Credit Agreement. The Company expects to incur special charges of approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2011, and expects to begin realizing the related cost savings during the fourth quarter of 2011.

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 fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2011.

Overview of the Company

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

Presstek’s business model is a capital equipment and consumables model. In this model, approximately 85% of our revenue is recurring revenue. Our model is designed so that each placement of either a DI® press or a CTP system generally results in recurring aftermarket revenue for consumables and service. We also provide consumables for use on equipment purchased by end users from other manufacturers and suppliers.

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

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

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

solutions make it more cost effective for printers to meet the increasing demand for shorter print runs, higher quality color and faster turn-around times.

We have executed a major transformation in the way we go to market. In the past, we were reliant on original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) partners to deliver our business solutions to customers. Today, more than 90% of our sales are through our own distribution channels.

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

We generate revenue through three main sources: (i) the sale of our equipment and related workflow software, including DI® presses and CTP devices; (ii) the sale of our proprietary and non-proprietary consumables and supplies; and (iii) the servicing of offset printing systems and analog and CTP systems and related equipment.

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

Strategy

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

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

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

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

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


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 2, 2011 (the “second quarter of fiscal 2011” or “the three months ended July 2, 2011”) and July 3, 2010 (the “second quarter of fiscal 2010” or “the three months ended July 3, 2010”) and the twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2011 (“the first six months of fiscal 2011” or the six months ended July 2, 2011” or “year to date 2011”) and July 3, 2010 (“the first six months of fiscal 2010” or the six months ended July 3, 2010” or “year to date 2010”) .

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 2, 2011 compared to the three and six months ended July 3, 2010

Revenue

Consolidated revenue was $31.4 million and $63.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter and the first six months of 2011, a reduction of $0.2 million from the 2010 second quarter and $2.8 million from the first six months of 2010.  The revenue declines in both periods were caused by decreases in consumables and service revenues partially offset by increases in equipment revenue.

Equipment revenue was $6.2 million and $11.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and $11.1 million in the same prior year periods.  Equipment sales continue to be impacted by unfavorable economic conditions resulting in some reluctance by small to mid-size customers in our North American market to make capital equipment purchases, and financing remains difficult to obtain.  Gross revenue of “growth” portfolio DI® presses and peripherals increased to $5.2 million in the current year second quarter from $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011 DI® equipment revenue increased to $9.4 million from $7.5 million in the prior year period.  DI press revenues have benefited from the sale of one 75DI press in each of the first two quarters of 2011.  Gross revenue of our remaining “growth” portfolio of equipment, Dimension Excel, Dimension Pro, Compass, and Vector platesetters, declined from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $0.7 million in the current year quarter and declined from $2.0 million for the first six months of 2010 to $1.4 million for the current year period.  Equipment sales of our “traditional” line of products, defined as QMDI presses, polyester CTP platesetters, and conventional equipment, decreased from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $0.6 million in the current year’s quarter.  Year to date gross revenue from our “traditional” line of equipment products decreased from $2.0 million in 2010 to $1.2 million in the current year period.
 
 
Consumables revenue declined from $20.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $19.3 million in the current year quarter and from $42.2 million for the first six months of 2010 to $40.0 million in the comparable 2011 period.  Sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of consumables, defined as 52DI®, 34DI®, and thermal CTP plates, decreased by $0.6 million to $7.8 million in the current quarter from the second quarter of 2010.  Sales of our “growth” consumables decreased from $16.5 million in the first six months of 2010 to $15.5 million in the comparable current year period.  Sales of Presstek’s “growth” portfolio of DI® plates declined from $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $4.1 million in the current year period and decreased by $0.5 million to $8.2 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to the comparable 2010 period.  Sales of thermal CTP plates decreased from $4.0 million and $7.7 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, to $3.7 million and $7.3 million in the comparable current year periods.  Sales of Presstek’s “traditional” plate products, consisting of QMDI, other DI®, and polyester plates, declined from $7.0 million in the second quarter 2010 to $6.6 million in the current year’s quarter and from $14.8 million in the first six months of 2010 to $14.3 million in the current year period.  Sales of other “traditional” consumables products declined year-over-year from $5.2 million to $4.7 million for the quarter and from $10.8 million to $10.0 million for the six month period.

Service and parts revenue was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $11.9 million for the first six months of 2011, reflecting decreases of $0.2 million and $0.8 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 the cost of material, labor and overhead, shipping and handling costs and warranty expenses, was $16.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 and $33.4 million in the first six months of 2011, compared to $16.4 million and $34.3 million, respectively, in 2010.  The quarterly increase is due primarily to higher equipment revenues.  The year-to-date decrease is primarily due to lower consumables revenues as well as improved plate manufacturing productivity.

Consolidated cost of service and parts was $4.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 and $9.9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, compared to $4.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively, in the same prior year periods.  These amounts represent the cost of spare parts, labor and overhead associated with the ongoing service of products.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 31.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 32.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010; and 31.5% in the first six months of 2011 compared to 32.8% for the first six months of 2010.

Gross profit as a percentage of product revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and the first six months of 2011 was 34.6% and 34.8%, respectively, compared to 35.7% for both of the comparable prior year periods.  The margin decrease is primarily due to a shift in the product revenue mix to be more heavily weighted toward equipment sales, which have a higher portion of cost related to them than do consumables, offset slightly by improved plate manufacturing productivity.

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues decreased to 19.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 16.9% for the first six months of 2011 from 19.5% and 20.7%, respectively, for the related 2010 periods.  These reductions are primarily due to reduced service revenues during 2011 from fewer overall equipment installations and reduced service and maintenance calls which have lowered general 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 $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010; and $2.2 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to $2.1 million for the 2010 period.

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 to $5.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from $5.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010.  Year-to-date selling, marketing and customer support expenses declined from $11.1 million in the first six months of 2010 to $10.9 million in the comparable current year period.  The reductions in expense in both periods resulted primarily from lower trade show costs.

General and Administrative

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

General and administrative expenses were $4.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 18.2%.  Compared to the first six months of 2010 general and administrative expenses have declined by $1.7 million, or 16.6%, to $8.5 million for the comparable 2011 period.  Lower expenses in both periods resulted primarily from lower stock compensation expenses, legal fees, and bad debt expense.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense was $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the second quarter and first six months respectively of both fiscal 2011 and 2010.  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 second quarter for both fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, the Company incurred $0.4 million of expense compared to $49 thousand in the comparable prior year period.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Net interest and other expense was $0.4 million and $0.7 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2011, respectively, compared to expense of $0.5 million and $0.9 million in the comparable prior year periods.  The reduction in expense is driven primarily by favorable swings in the impact of foreign currency as well as increases in other miscellaneous income.

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 $0.2 million and ($0.4) million for the three months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively, on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the respective periods.  .  The Company’s tax provision was $0.2 million and ($0.5) million for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively, on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations of ($3.1) million and ($2.9) million for the respective periods.


The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $2.7 million against UK, Canadian and German net deferred tax assets in fiscal 2010.

At July 2, 2011, our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, were zero.  However, if future events differ from expectations, changes in 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.

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 “Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. For comparative purposes, all prior periods presented have been reclassified on a consistent basis.

On March 5, 2010, Presstek sold Lasertel to SELEX Galileo Inc. (“SELEX”). The sale of Lasertel to SELEX was for $8.0 million in cash and, in addition, Presstek was able to retain approximately $2.0 million of laser diode inventory for Presstek’s future production requirements. Lasertel, as a subsidiary of SELEX, and in accordance with a supply agreement established between Lasertel and Presstek on March 5, 2010, will continue to manufacture semiconductor laser diodes for Presstek for an initial period of three years. 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.

Results of operations of the discontinued business of Lasertel included in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the second quarter and first six months of 2010 consist of the following (in thousands, except per-share data):

Liquidity and Capital Resources


We finance our operating and capital investment requirements primarily through cash flows from operations and borrowings. At July 2, 2011, we had $3.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $21.9 million of working capital, compared to $2.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $24.7 million of working capital at July 3, 2010.

Continuing Operations

Our operating activities used $2.4 million of cash in the six months ended July 2, 2011. Cash used by operating activities came from a net loss of $3.2 million offset by positive adjustments of $3.3 million for non-cash charges included in net loss (including depreciation, amortization, provisions for warranty costs, accounts receivable allowances, stock compensation expense and non-cash bonus expense) and a $2.5 million negative impact on cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities.  The negative impact on cash related to operating assets and liabilities was, in large part, due to a decrease of $1.6 million in accrued expenses and an increase of $1.6 million in other current assets partially offset by an increase of $0.3 in accounts payable and an increase of $0.3 in accounts receivable. The decrease in accrued expenses was related to non-cash bonuses being awarded and the increase in other current assets was driven by pre-payment of certain annual operating expenses in the normal course of business.

Our investing activities used $1.3 million of net cash in the first six months ended July 2, 2011 primarily for additions to developed technology costs and additions to property, plant and equipment. The addition to developed technology relate to the design and prototyping of our new 75DI® digital offset press. The additions to property, plant and equipment relate primarily to equipment provided to our CTP plate customers.

Our financing activities provided $2.7 million of cash in the six months ended July 2, 2011, consisting primarily of $2.6 million of cash borrowings under our lines of credit.

 Liquidity

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

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

Under the Credit Agreement the Company is required to provide monthly Borrowing Base Certificates to the Agent that become the basis for calculating the Credit Agreement’s Formula Amount.  The Formula Amount, capped at $25 million, represents the maximum amount of advances available to the Company at a given point in time.  The Formula Amount is normally calculated 20 days subsequent to the close of each fiscal month.  Because of the timing delay, the Agent utilizes a process that estimates the maximum amount available daily during each fiscal period.  As

of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011 the Formula Amount was $17.9 and  $15.0 million, respectively. The Company had outstanding balances on its line of credit of $12.9 million and $10.3 million, at July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.  At July 2, 2011, there were $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, thereby reducing the amount available under the credit line, based on the Formula amount to $4.0 million. The amount available under the credit line, based on the Formula Amount, as of January 1, 2011 was $4.7 million. The computed preliminary availability based on the daily estimation process was $1.6 million and $4.6 million as of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants.  Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt and make acquisitions and divestitures, with certain exceptions.  The key financial covenants include a requirement for the Company to maintain (i) for the fiscal quarter ending January 1, 2011, a fixed charge coverage ratio ( the ratio of  “EBITDA” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the total of (i) interest expense, plus (ii) capital expenditures) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; (ii) for each quarter ending on or after April 2, 2011, for the four fiscal quarter periods then ended, a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (iii) an annual limit on capital expenditures of $4.0 million in each fiscal year beginning in 2011.

 As of January 1, 2011 and July 2, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.  The fixed charge ratio for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 was 3.5 to 1.0, in excess of the 1.0 to 1.0 minimum required ratio.  The fixed charge ratio for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 was 3.5 to 1.0, also in excess of the 1.0 to 1.0 minimum required ratio.  Additionally, since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company’s capital expenditures have been below the maximum levels allowed.

Our liquidity is dependent on availability under our current Credit Agreement.  This availability is a function of both our cash generated by operations and our borrowing base availability (primarily an amount based on eligible inventories and accounts receivable less advances and stand-by letters of credit) and compliance with our debt covenants.  A reduction in sales activity has a corresponding effect on cash receipts and availability under the Revolver. The Company has indicated that it expects third quarter 2011 revenue to show some softness in comparison to the second quarter results, as well as a corresponding increase in its debt levels. This is due to its continued investment in the 75DI program as well as revenue softness. It is expected that this will lead to a decline in cash receipts and availability under the Revolver.  The Company is proactively addressing this issue by initiating cost reduction actions that will improve the Company’s overall cash availability and help ensure the Company’s continuing compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement referred to above.  In addition, the Company has obtained a commitment from PNC to modify the Credit Agreement in order to increase availability under the Revolver and to help ensure the Company’s continuing compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The Company has additional resources available to it in order to improve its liquidity, in the event that it was necessary.  The Company could issue additional equity under the Company’s Shelf Registration Statement; the Company could enter into a sale-leaseback transaction with respect to the Company’s office and manufacturing facility in Hudson, New Hampshire; and the Company could seek to obtain additional debt financing, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such funds.  Based upon all of these factors, management believes there will be adequate availability and compliance with debt covenants throughout the next four fiscal quarters.  However, a further and more significant decline in operating results could have a negative impact and may require management to scale back on capital expenditures and/or other operating activities.

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s short-term borrowings was 4.54% at July 2, 2011.

Commitments and Contingencies

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

From time to time the Company engages in sales of equipment that is leased by or intended to be leased by a third-party purchaser to another party. In certain situations, the Company may retain recourse obligations to a financing institution involved in providing financing to the ultimate lessee in the event the lessee of the equipment defaults on its lease obligations. In certain such instances, the Company may refurbish and remarket the equipment on behalf of the financing company, should the ultimate lessee default on payment of the lease. In certain circumstances, should the resale price of such equipment fall below certain predetermined levels, the Company would, under these arrangements, reimburse the financing company for any such shortfall in sale price (a “shortfall payment”). Generally, the Company’s liability for these recourse agreements is limited to 9.5% of the amount outstanding. The maximum amount for which the Company was liable to the financial institutions for the shortfall payments was approximately $0.7 million at July 2, 2011 and $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. 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; the valuation of 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 1, 2011 which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2011.  There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies in the six months ended July 2, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 20011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. These amendments, effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is prohibited), result in common definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon our financial position and results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This guidance, effective retrospectively for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is permitted), requires presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon our financial position and results of operations.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purpose.  At July 2, 2011, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.
