Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 11, 1996, Presstek, Inc. (the "Company") engaged BDO Seidman LLP
as its principal independent accountants who will audit and report on the
financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995.
Prior to engaging BDO Seidman neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its
behalf consulted with it regarding the application of accounting principles to
any specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the Company's financial statements. In addition, neither the Company nor anyone
acting on its behalf consulted with BDO Seidman with respect to any matters that
were the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K) except as follows: In connection with the preparation of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1994
("1994 10-K") counsel for the Company had general discussions with a partner at
BDO Seidman with respect to the need to disclose the investigation by the
Securities and Exchange Commission of certain activities of certain persons and
entities in the securities of the Company in the financial statements included
in the 1994 10-K, as was the position of the Company's former auditors, even
though disclosure of the investigation was to be included in the non-financial
portion of the 1994 10-K. No conclusion was expressed by the partner at BDO
Seidman with respect to the matter.
