                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                               SEPTEMBER 28, 1996


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial  information and
with the  instructions  to Rule 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not
include all of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted
accounting   principles  for  complete  financial   statements.   The  financial
information  included in the quarterly report should be read in conjunction with
the Company's  audited  financial  statements  and related notes thereto for the
year ended December 30, 1995. The December 30, 1995 information has been derived
directly from the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments  considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and
all such adjustments were normal and recurring.

     Presstek,  Inc. (the "Company" or  "Presstek")  was organized as a Delaware
corporation  on September 3, 1987 and was a development  stage  company  through
1991. In September,  1991,  Heidelberger  Druckmaschinen A.G. ("Heidelberg") the
world's largest  printing press  manufacturer  introduced the Company's  initial
spark discharge based imaging  technology,  in a jointly developed product,  the
Heidelberg  GTO-DI. In 1993, after investing  substantial  effort and resources,
the Company  completed  the  development  of PEARL(R),  a patented  proprietary,
nonphotographic,  toxic-free,  digital imaging and printing plate technology for
the printing and graphic arts  industries.  PEARL's  laser diode  technology  is
capable of imaging various types of Presstek printing plates either off-press or
on-press which may then be used to produce high quality, full color lithographic
printed materials.  PEARL has completely  replaced the Company's spark discharge
technology.  The GTO-DI was re-introduced in September 1993,  utilizing PEARL as
its direct imaging technology.  The Company is now building an installed base of
customers  which utilizes its  proprietary  consumable  printing plates on PEARL
equipped  Heidelberg  presses.  During the second  quarter of 1995,  the Company
commenced shipments of kits to be utilized on Heidelberg's  Quickmaster DI 46-4.
Presstek  is  also  engaged  in  the  development  of  additional  products  and
applications   that   incorporate  its  proprietary   PEARL   technologies   and
consumables,   including  both   computer-to-plate   and  other  direct-to-press
applications.  At this  time,  the  Company  relies on  Heidelberg  to  generate
substantially all of its revenues.

     During  February  1996,  the Company  completed  private  placements  of an
aggregate of 282,846  shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $20,208,758
to a limited number of domestic individual and institutional investors.

     A portion of the funds raised from the private  placements were utilized to
complete the acquisition referred to below.

     On February 15, 1996, the Company  acquired 90% of the  outstanding  common
stock  (the  "Purchased   Shares")  of  Catalina  Coatings,   Inc.,  an  Arizona
corporation  ("Catalina").  Catalina is engaged in the development,  manufacture
and sale of vacuum deposition coating equipment and the

                                        6

licensing and  sublicensing of patent rights with respect to a vapor  deposition
process  to coat  moving  webs of  material  at high  speeds.  The  Company  has
continued  the business of Catalina  which now  operates as a subsidiary  of the
Company.  The  Purchased  Shares were  acquired  from the  selling  shareholders
pursuant to a Stock Purchase  Agreement (the "Stock Purchase  Agreement")  dated
and  effective as of January 1, 1996.  The aggregate  consideration  paid by the
Company  pursuant  to the Stock  Purchase  Agreement  was  $8,400,000,  of which
$8,200,000  represented the purchase price of the Purchased  Shares and $200,000
represented  consideration for the non-competition and confidentiality covenants
of the selling shareholders.

     Catalina's  results of operations were immaterial and accordingly pro forma
information has not been provided.

     Simultaneous with the closing of the acquisition,  the Company entered into
a Put and Call Option  Agreement  (the "Option  Agreement")  which  provides the
Company with the right,  at any time after  February  15,  2000,  to acquire the
remaining  10% of the  outstanding  common  stock of Catalina  for an  aggregate
consideration  of  $2,000,000.  The Option  Agreement  also provides the selling
shareholders  and another employee of Catalina with the right, at any time after
August 15,  2000,  to cause the Company to  purchase  the  remaining  shares for
aggregate  consideration  of $1,000,000.  The Option Agreement will terminate if
Catalina  consummates  an initial  public  offering of its  securities  prior to
February 15, 2000.

     The  Company  granted the selling  shareholders  and the other  employee of
Catalina five-year non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate 100,000 shares
of the  Company's  common  stock at an  exercise  price  of  $89.50  per  share,
representing fair market value at the date of grant, and Catalina granted to the
same  individuals  an option to  purchase  an  aggregate  5% of the  issued  and
outstanding common stock of Catalina in the event that a registration  statement
relating to an initial  public  offering of  Catalina  common  stock is declared
effective by February 15, 2000.

     On June 19, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors determined to change its
fiscal year from a calendar  year ending  December 31 to a fiscal year ending on
the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly,  the 1995 fiscal year ended on
December  30, 1995,  and the third  quarters of 1996 and 1995 ended on September
28, 1996, and September 30, 1995 respectively.

     The results of operations  for the third  quarter ended  September 28, 1996
may not be indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year.

     The Company intends to disclose pro forma information pursuant to Statement
of  Financial   Accounting   Standard  No.  123,   "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation", in its 1996 annual financial statements.

3.   NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Net income per  common  share is  computed  by  dividing  net income by the
weighted  average  number of common and common  equivalent  shares  outstanding.
Common stock  equivalents  represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise
of outstanding stock options and warrants. A summary of the calculations for the
three and nine month  periods  ended  September  28, 1996 and September 30, 1995
follows:

4. INCOME TAXES

     The  provision for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months
of 1996  represents  substantially  the charge in lieu of income  taxes  arising
during  the  periods  relating  to the  tax  effect  of  employee  stock  option
deductions,  based  upon the  estimated  effective  income tax rate for the full
fiscal year. The tax benefit  related to such stock options has been credited to
stockholders' equity.

     The  provision for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months
of 1995  represents  substantially  the  charge  in lieu of state  income  taxes
arising  during the periods  relating to the tax effect of employee stock option
deductions.  No  charge  for  federal  income  taxes  was  required  due  to the
availability  of  federal  net  operating  loss   carryforwards  for  accounting
purposes.

     As of September 28, 1996, the Company had net operating loss  carryforwards
totaling approximately  $28,000,000 resulting from compensation deductions,  for
tax purposes, relative to stock option plans. To the extent net operating losses
resulting from stock option plan compensation deductions become realizable,  the
benefit will be credited  directly to additional paid in capital.  The amount of
the net operating loss carryforwards  which may be utilized in any future period
may be subject to certain  limitations,  based upon changes in the  ownership of
the Company's common stock.

5. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Between June 28, 1996 and  September  9, 1996,  eight  lawsuits  were filed
against the Company and certain other defendants,  including, but not limited to
the Company's  officers and directors.  Seven of such actions,  were purportedly
brought on behalf of similarly situated classes of defendants and were commenced
in a United  States  District  Court in either the State of New Hampshire or the
Southern District of New York. The remaining action was filed  derivatively,  on
behalf of the Company in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware.

     The  lawsuits  each  contain  a  variety  of  allegations   (some  of  them
overlapping) including, among other things, that the defendants violated Section
10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder,  violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, common
law fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation and waste of corporate assets.
The  plaintiffs  generally  are  seeking  to  recover  unspecified  damages  and
reimbursement  of their  costs and  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with the
action.  Moreover,  the  plaintiff  in the  derivative  action is also seeking a
return to the Company of all salaries and the value of other  remuneration  paid
to the  defendants  by the Company  during the time they were in breach of their
fiduciary duties and an accounting of and/or  constructive trust on the proceeds
of defendants trading activities in the Common Stock.

     The Company  believes that the allegations  against it and its officers and
directors  alleged in the foregoing  actions are without merit,  and the Company
intends to vigorously defend all actions. However, the outcome of any litigation
is subject to uncertainty and a successful claim against the Company,  in any of
the foregoing  actions,  could have a material  adverse  effect on the financial
position and results of  operations  of the Company.  At the present  time,  the
Company cannot reasonably  estimate the ultimate  liability,  if any,  resulting
from these lawsuits. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result
has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On October 15, 1996, Presstek was notified that an arbitration panel of the
International  Chamber of Commerce issued its Award in the  arbitration  between
Presstek and  Agfa-Gevaert  N.V. The Award  directs Agfa to transfer to Presstek
Agfa's U.S. Patent No. 5,378,580 including its underlying  applications,  return
to Presstek all copies of  confidential  information  that Presstek  provided to
Agfa,  and pay  Presstek's  legal  expenses in the  arbitration in the amount of
$769,140.  The arbitrators rejected the request for affirmative relief sought by
Agfa.

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

"Safe Harbor"  Statement under the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of
1995:

     The statements  which are not historical  facts contained in this Form 10-Q
are forward looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties,
including,  but not limited to, the risks of uncertainty  of patent  protection,
the impact of supply and  manufacturing  constraints or  difficulties,  possible
technological obsolescence,  increased competition,  litigation, and other risks
detailed in the Securities and Exchange Commission  filings,  of Presstek,  Inc.
(the "Company" or "Presstek").

Results of Operations

     The Company was  organized as a Delaware  corporation  on September 3, 1987
and  was  a  development   stage  company   through  1991.  In  September  1991,
Heidelberger  Druckmaschinen A.G.  ("Heidelberg"),  the world's largest printing
press  manufacturer  introduced  the  Company's  initial spark  discharge  based
imaging  technology,  in a jointly developed product,  the Heidelberg GTO-DI. In
1993, after investing  substantial  effort and resources,  the Company completed
the development of PEARL, a patented, proprietary, nonphotographic,  toxic-free,
digital imaging and printing plate  technology for the printing and graphic arts
industries.  PEARL's laser diode  technology is capable of imaging various types
of Presstek  printing plates either off-press or on-press which may then be used
to produce high-quality,  full-color  lithographic printed materials at what the
Company  believes  is  a  lower  cost  than  competitive  processes.  PEARL  has
completely  replaced the Company's  spark discharge  technology.  The GTO-DI was
re-introduced  in  September  1993,   utilizing  PEARL  as  its  direct  imaging
technology and the Company is now building an installed base of customers  which
utilizes its proprietary consumable printing plates on PEARL equipped Heidelberg
presses. The Company's relationship with Heidelberg has been expanded to include
the  development  and  manufacture  of direct  imaging  kits to be  utilized  in
Heidelberg's new four color, fully automated lithographic press, the Quickmaster
DI 46-4.  This press was  introduced in May,  1995 at DRUPA '95, the  industry's
largest  trade show,  and was well  received.  Shipments of  production  kits to
Heidelberg for use in the  Quickmaster  commenced in the second quarter of 1995.
This new press incorporates  certain  improvements to the Company's PEARL direct
imaging technologies and employs the Company's automatic plate changing cylinder
which eliminates the need for manually changing plates between jobs.

     The Company is also engaged in the  development of additional  products and
applications  that  incorporate  the  use of its  proprietary  technologies  and
consumables,    including   both    computer-to-plate    and   computer-to-press
applications.  Some of these additional activities have resulted in an agreement
with the Adast Adamov Company, another manufacturer of sheet fed offset presses.
This agreement  will result in the  availability  of the Company's  PEARL direct
imaging  technology on a larger format  Omni-Adast (19" x 26") multicolor press,
the first showing of which took place at an industry trade show during the first
quarter of 1996.  Also,  during the first  quarter of 1996,  the  Company  began
shipments of its PEARL platesetter, now referred to as the PEARLsetter(TM).  The
PEARLsetter is a computer-to-plate imaging device that images both the Company's
wet and dry  offset  plates.  Another  agreement,  recently  entered  into  with
Nilpeter A/S of Denmark will result in

                                       12

<PAGE>



the  utilization of the PEARL  technology on a high-speed  rotary label printing
press called the OFFSET 3300. Presstek will supply a special PEARL-based digital
imaging system which will image Presstek's  thermal plates directly on the press
plate cylinder.

     On February 15, 1996, the Company  acquired 90% of the  outstanding  common
stock  (the  "Purchased   Shares")  of  Catalina  Coatings,   Inc.,  an  Arizona
corporation  ("Catalina").  Catalina is engaged in the development,  manufacture
and  sale  of  vacuum  deposition   coating  equipment  and  the  licensing  and
sublicensing of patent rights with respect to a vapor deposition process to coat
moving webs of material at high speeds.  The Company has  continued the business
of Catalina which operates as a subsidiary of the Company.  The Purchased Shares
were  acquired  from  the  selling  shareholders  pursuant  to a Stock  Purchase
Agreement (the "Stock Purchase  Agreement") dated and effective as of January 1,
1996.  The  aggregate  consideration  paid by the Company  pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement was $8,400,000,  of which $8,200,000 represented the purchase
price of the Purchased  Shares and $200,000  represented  consideration  for the
non-competition and confidentiality covenants of the selling shareholders.

     Simultaneous with the closing of the acquisition,  the Company entered into
a Put and Call Option  Agreement  (the "Option  Agreement")  which  provides the
Company with the right,  at any time after  February  15,  2000,  to acquire the
remaining  10% of the  outstanding  common  stock of Catalina  for an  aggregate
consideration  of  $2,000,000.  The Option  Agreement  also provides the selling
shareholders  and another employee of Catalina with the right, at any time after
August 15, 2000,  to cause the Company to purchase the  remaining  shares for an
aggregate  consideration  of $1,000,000.  The Option Agreement will terminate if
Catalina  consummates  an initial  public  offering of its  securities  prior to
February 15, 2000.

     The  Company  granted the selling  shareholders  and the other  employee of
Catalina  five-year  non-qualified  options to purchase an  aggregate of 100,000
shares of the Company's  common stock at an exercise  price of $89.50 per share,
and Catalina  granted to the same individuals an option to purchase an aggregate
5% of the issued and  outstanding  common  stock of Catalina in the event that a
registration statement relating to an initial public offering of Catalina common
stock is declared effective by February 15, 2000.

     On June 19, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors determined to change its
fiscal year from a calendar  year ending  December 31 to a fiscal year ending on
the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly,  the 1995 fiscal year ended on
December  30, 1995,  and the third  quarters of 1996 and 1995 ended on September
28, 1996 and September 30, 1995 respectively.

Revenues

     Revenues for the third quarter of 1996 totaled $12,366,000,  an increase of
$4,737,000 (62%) compared to $7,629,000  recorded for the third quarter of 1995.
For the first nine months of 1996, revenues totaled $35,251,000,  an increase of
$17,035,000  (94%) compared to $18,216,000 for the same period in 1995.  Product
sales increased $1,973,000 and $9,926,000, respectively, comparing the three and
nine month periods in 1996 with the same periods in 1995,  primarily as a result
of  volume  increases  in sales by the  Company  of  products  to be used in the
Quickmaster DI 46-4, as well as sales of the  PEARLsetter,  consumable  printing
plates and spare parts.  Royalties and fees from licensees increased  $2,765,000
and $7,107,000 respectively in the third quarter and first nine

                                       13

<PAGE>



months of 1996  compared to the same  periods in 1995,  primarily as a result of
increased royalties earned on product sales to Heidelberg and increased revenues
earned for engineering  services under the Company's  agreements with Heidelberg
and other customers.

Cost of Products Sold

     Costs of products  sold for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996
totaled $5,024,000 and $15,250,000 compared to $4,250,000 and $9,799,000 for the
same  periods  in 1995.  These  costs  include  materials,  labor  and  overhead
associated with product sales, as well as future warranty costs.

Engineering and Product Development

     Engineering  and product  development  expenses  for the third  quarter and
first  nine  months  of 1996  totaled  $2,430,000  and  $6,478,000  compared  to
$1,530,000  and  $4,164,000  for the same  periods  in 1995.  The  increases  of
$900,000  (59%) for the third  quarter and  $2,314,000  (56%) for the first nine
months of 1996  resulted  principally  from  increased  expenditures  for parts,
supplies,  labor,  and  contracted  services  related  to  the  Company's  PEARL
technology, as well as other product development efforts.

Marketing

     Marketing  expenses  for the third  quarter  and first nine  months of 1996
totaled $514,000 and $1,696,000 compared to $408,000 and $1,362,000 for the same
periods in 1995.  The  increases  for the third quarter and first nine months of
1996 of $106,000 (26%) and $334,000 (25%), respectively,  related principally to
increased  expenditures  for additional  personnel and related costs, as well as
promotional activities.

General and Administrative

     General and  administrative  expenses for the third  quarter and first nine
months of 1996  totaled  $1,711,000  and  $4,468,000  compared to  $553,000  and
$1,823,000 for the same periods in 1995. The increases of $1,158,000  (209%) for
the third  quarter  and  $2,645,000  (145%)  for the first  nine  months of 1996
related  principally  to  increased  expenditures  for  salaries and other costs
required to conduct various general and administrative functions of the Company,
including legal fees incurred in connection  with certain legal  proceedings and
regulatory matters.

Dividend and Interest Income

     Dividend and interest  income earned on the Company's cash and  investments
increased  $82,000 for the third  quarter and $384,000 for the first nine months
principally as a result of the increased funds available for investment.

Income Taxes

     The  provision for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months
of 1996  represents  substantially  the charge in lieu of income  taxes  arising
during the periods relating to the tax effect

                                       14

<PAGE>



of employee stock option deductions,  based upon the estimated  effective income
tax rate for the full fiscal year. The tax benefit related to such stock options
has been credited to stockholders' equity.

     The  provision for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months
of 1995  represents  substantially  the  charge  in lieu of state  income  taxes
arising  during the periods  relating to the tax effect of employee stock option
deductions.  No  charge  for  federal  income  taxes  was  required  due  to the
availability  of  federal  net  operating  loss   carryforwards  for  accounting
purposes.

Net Income

     As a result of the foregoing,  the Company had net income of $1,831,000 and
$4,767,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996,  compared to net
income of $872,000 and $1,209,000 for the same periods in 1995. Catalina did not
have a material  effect on net income for the third quarter or first nine months
of 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 28, 1996, the Company had working capital of  $32,497,000,  an
increase  of  $15,660,000  as  compared  to working  capital of  $16,837,000  at
December 30, 1995.  This increase was primarily  attributed to the proceeds from
the issuances of common stock of $22,603,000, plus net income for the first nine
months of 1996 of $4,767,000 offset by the Company's investment in Catalina, net
of cash acquired,  of $7,456,000 and additions to property,  plant and equipment
of $8,325,000.

     Net cash provided by operating activities of $2,123,000 for the nine months
ended September 28, 1996,  resulted primarily from net income from operations of
$4,767,000,  noncash items  including the tax effect  related to employee  stock
options,  depreciation  and  amortization,  and provision for warranty and other
costs of  $2,972,000,  $1,349,000  and  $494,000  respectively,  an  increase in
accounts  payable and accrued  expenses of  $1,613,000,  offset by  increases in
accounts  receivable,  inventory,  and costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings on  uncompleted  contracts of  $5,028,000,  $2,815,000,  and  $696,000,
respectively,  and by a decrease in  billings  in excess of costs and  estimated
earnings on uncompleted contracts of $687,000.

     Net cash used for investing  activities of  $19,885,000  for the first nine
months  ended  September  28,  1996,   resulted  primarily  from  the  Company's
investment  in  Catalina,  net of cash  acquired,  of  $7,456,000,  purchases of
marketable  securities net of maturities of  $3,456,000,  additions to property,
plant and equipment  used in the Company's  business of $8,325,000 and increases
in other assets of $694,000.

     Net cash provided by financing  activities  during the first nine months of
1996 totaled $22,603,000,  which included the private placements of an aggregate
of 282,846 shares of the Company's common stock for net proceeds of $20,209,000,
and the sale of common stock incident to the exercise of various stock options.

     The  Company's  agreements  with  Heidelberg  provide  that during 1996 the
Company will receive  certain  royalty  payments and be  reimbursed  for certain
engineering and development work provided to Heidelberg.

     The Company is currently  constructing two new facilities;  a 60,000 square
foot  facility  in Tucson,  Arizona  for  Catalina,  and a 100,000  square  foot
manufacturing  facility  in Hudson,  New  Hampshire.  The  Hudson  manufacturing
facility  is expected  to  accommodate  the  Company's  new plate  manufacturing
operation,  which will utilize a new vacuum deposition  coating system currently
being developed and built for the Company by Catalina,  along with the necessary
plate finishing and packaging  equipment.  The Company  estimates that the total
capital cost of these projects,  including land purchases,  to be  approximately
$28,000,000.

     During the first nine months of 1996,  the Company  expended  approximately
$2,400,000  for the  land  purchases  and  approximately  $240,000  for the land
improvements and  construction of the new facilities.  As of September 28, 1996,
the Company had outstanding  purchase  commitments of  approximately  $4,200,000
with respect to the new facilities. In addition, during the first nine months of
1996,  the  Company  expended   approximately   $4,300,000  for  the  new  plate
manufacturing and packaging equipment. As of September 28, 1996, the Company had
outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $2,000,000 with respect to the
plate manufacturing and packaging equipment.

     The Company is currently  exploring various funding options with respect to
financing the balance of the  anticipated  cost of completing its new facilities
including,  but not limited to, state industrial  development  revenue bonds and
bank financing. There can be no assurance,  however, that the Company can obtain
financing  necessary to complete  construction on terms  acceptable to it, or at
all.

     In addition to the funds  required to  complete  the  construction  of, and
purchase of equipment for, its two new facilities,  the Company may also require
additional  working  capital  by the  second  fiscal  quarter  of  1997  to fund
anticipated increased production of Quickmaster DI kits.

     On October 15, 1996, Presstek was notified that an arbitration panel of the
International  Chamber of Commerce issued its Award in the  arbitration  between
Presstek and  Agfa-Gevaert  N.V. The Award  directs Agfa to transfer to Presstek
Agfa's U.S. Patent No. 5,378,580 including its underlying  applications,  return
to Presstek all copies of  confidential  information  that Presstek  provided to
Agfa,  and pay  Presstek's  legal  expenses in the  arbitration in the amount of
$769,140.  The arbitrators rejected the request for affirmative relief sought by
Agfa.

Effect of Inflation

     Inflation has not had, and is not expected to have, a material  impact upon
the Company's operations.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

     On September  9, 1996,  a class action  lawsuit was filed by Neil Fradin in
the United  States  District  Court,  District  of New  Hampshire,  against  the
Company, Richard Williams, Glenn DiBenedetto, Bert DePamphilis, Lawrence Howard,
Robert  Howard,  Harold  Sparks,  Robert  Verrando,  and BDO  Seidman,  LLP. The
plaintiff  alleges that the defendants  violated Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and that the individual
defendants  violated  Section  20(a) of the  Exchange  Act by issuing  financial
statements  for the fiscal year ended  December 30, 1995 and the fiscal  quarter
ended March 30, 1996 and corresponding  financial press releases that overstated
net income in the  Statements of Operations for those periods as a result of the
improper  application  of  certain  accounting  principles  relating  to the tax
benefits received upon exercise of certain stock options  previously  granted by
the Company.  The plaintiff seeks  unspecified  damages and reimbursement of the
plaintiff's costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action.

     On October 15, 1996, Presstek was notified that an arbitration panel of the
International  Chamber of Commerce issued its Award in the  arbitration  between
Presstek and  Agfa-Gevaert  N.V. The Award  directs Agfa to transfer to Presstek
Agfa's U.S. Patent No. 5,378,580 including its underlying  applications,  return
to Presstek all copies of  confidential  information  that Presstek  provided to
Agfa,  and pay  Presstek's  legal  expenses in the  arbitration in the amount of
$769,140.  The arbitrators rejected the request for affirmative relief sought by
Agfa.

Item 6.   Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

(a) Exhibit 27. Financial Data Schedule

     (b) During the fiscal  quarter ended  September 28, 1996, the Company filed
an amendment dated September 3, 1996 to its Form 8-K relating to its acquisition
of Catalina Coatings,  Inc.  ("Catalina") on February 15, 1996. The amended Form
8-K contained the audited financial  statements of Catalina for its three fiscal
years ended December 31, 1995 as well as certain pro forma financial information
required by Item 7 of Form 8-K.  During the fiscal  quarter,  the  Company  also
filed a Form  8-K  under  Item 5 of Form 8-K to  disclose  the  commencement  of
certain legal actions against the Company and its officers and directors.
