                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                  JUNE 28, 1997


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 28, 1996. The December 28, 1996 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"),  which was  incorporated  in the State of
Delaware in September 1987,  develops,  manufactures,  and markets  proprietary,
digital imaging  technologies  and system  architectures,  and  non-photographic
consumables  (the "Direct Imaging"  technologies)  primarily to the graphic arts
and  related   imaging   industries.   The  Company's   current  Direct  Imaging
technologies,  referred to as PEARL(R), permit the direct digital imaging of the
Company's printing plates and films which eliminates the need for photosensitive
materials and the hazardous waste by-products and effluents  usually  associated
with these processes.

     Revenues  generated  under  the  Company's   agreements  with  Heidelberger
Druckmaschinen AG ("Heidelberg")  and from Heidelberg  distributors  represented
77% and 74% of the  Company's  total  revenues for the six months ended June 28,
1997, and June 29, 1996, respectively.

     On February 15, 1996, the Company  acquired 90% of the  outstanding  common
stock of Catalina  Coatings,  Inc.,  an Arizona  corporation  ("Catalina").  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for  as a  purchase.  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. Accordingly, the results of Catalina's operations have been included in
the Company's June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996 financial statements.  Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     Certain  accounts in the 1996 financial  statements have been  reclassified
for comparative  purposes to conform with the presentation in the June 28, 1997,
financial statements.

2.   INVENTORY

     Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on
the  first-in,  first-out  method.  At June 28,  1997,  and  December  28, 1996,
inventory consisted of the following:

3.   NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Net income per  common  share is  computed  by  dividing  net income by the
weighted  average  number of Common  Stock and Common  Stock  equivalent  shares
outstanding.  Common Stock  equivalents  represent  the  dilutive  effect of the
assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.

     On May 30, 1997,  the Company's  Board of Directors  declared a two-for-one
common stock  split,  effected in the form of a 100% stock  dividend,  which was
paid on July 7, 1997 to holders of record on June 12, 1997.  The split  resulted
in the issuance of  15,537,612  new shares of common  stock.  All  references to
average  number of shares  outstanding  and prices per share have been  restated
retroactively  to reflect the split. A summary of the calculations for the three
and six month periods ended June 28, 1997, and June 29, 1996 follows:

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which
is effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Earlier  application is not permitted.  The Company  accordingly  plans to adopt
SFAS No. 128 in its January 3, 1998  annual  financial  statements.  The Company
does not  anticipate  that SFAS No. 128 would have had a material  effect on the
earnings per share  presented,  if it had been adopted in the six months  ending
June 28, 1997.

4.   INCOME TAXES

     The  components  of the  provision  for income  taxes for the three and six
month periods ended June 28, 1997,  and June 29, 1996,  based upon the estimated
effective income tax rate for the full fiscal year, were as follows:

     The charge in lieu of income taxes  included in the second  quarter and six
months ended 1997 and 1996 relate principally to the tax benefit of stock option
deductions  earned in the  respective  periods.  The tax  benefit  of such stock
option deductions has been credited to stockholders' equity.

5.   LINE OF CREDIT

     On July 29, 1997, the Company  renewed its agreement with Citizens Bank New
Hampshire for a revolving line of credit loan under which the Company may borrow
a maximum of $10,000,000 for working capital  requirements and general corporate
purposes.  Borrowings are secured by  substantially  all of the Company's assets
and are  guaranteed by the Company's  subsidiary,  Catalina,  and secured by its
assets.  Under the terms of the  revolving  credit  agreement,  the  Company  is
required to meet certain  financial  covenants on a quarterly  and annual basis.
Interest on the line of credit is payable at the LIBOR rate plus 1.75% (7.47% at
June 28, 1997).  The loan agreement  terminates on July 31, 1999, at which date,
the entire  principal  and accrued  interest is due and payable.  As of June 28,
1997, the Company had $1,000,000  outstanding and $9,000,000 available under the
line of credit.

6.   OTHER INFORMATION

     The  Company  has  completed  the  construction  of a  70,000  square  foot
manufacturing   facility  in  Tucson,  Arizona  for  Catalina,  and  is  nearing
completion of the construction of 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 operations, 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 $32,600,000.

     Through June 28, 1997, the Company has expended  approximately  $14,973,000
for  land,  land  improvements,  and  construction  of the two  new  facilities.
Approximately  $8,830,000 of this total was expended during the first six months
of  1997,  and as of  June  28,  1997,  the  Company  had  outstanding  purchase
commitments  of  approximately  $1,500,000  with respect to the new  facilities.
Additionally,  through June 28, 1997, the Company  expended  $12,385,000 for new
plate  manufacturing,   finishing,   and  packaging   equipment.   Approximately
$4,575,000 of this total was expended  during the first six months of 1997,  and
as of June 28,  1997,  the  Company  had  outstanding  purchase  commitments  of
approximately $3,725,000 with respect to the plate manufacturing, finishing, and
packaging equipment.

     Between June 28, 1996,  and March 14, 1997,  several class action  lawsuits
were filed against the Company and certain other defendants,  including, but not
limited  to the  Company's  officers  and  directors.  These  actions  have been
consolidated in the United States District Court, District of New Hampshire, and
a single consolidated  amended complaint ("The Consolidated  Amended Complaint")
has been filed by lead counsel for the plaintiffs. In addition, two actions have
been filed derivatively,  on behalf of the Company, one in the Chancery Court of
the  State of  Delaware  and the  other in the  United  States  District  Court,
District of New Hampshire.

     The lawsuits each contain a variety of allegations  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  allegations
include  claims  that  the  Company   issued  false  and  misleading   financial
statements,  and failed to properly disclose (a) adverse information  concerning
the Company's  patents;  (b) the nature and extent of the  investigation  by the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to activities by certain unnamed
persons and entities in  connection  with the  securities of the Company (c) the
backlog of orders  from,  supply  contracts  with,  and orders  received  by its
principal  customer.  The  Company's  officers and directors are alleged to have
sold the  Company's  common  stock while in  possession  of material  non-public
information. The plaintiffs generally are seeking to recover unspecified damages
and  reimbursement  of their costs and expenses  incurred in connection with the
action.

                                     - 10 -

Moreover,  the plaintiff in the derivative  action in Delaware 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.

     On June 16,  1997,  Seena  Stevens  Silverman  commenced a purported  class
action in the United  States  District  Court for the District of New  Hampshire
against the Company,  Lawrence Howard, Richard A. Williams,  Robert E. Verrando,
Glenn J. DiBenedetto, Frank G. Pensavecchia, Harold N. Sparks, Bert DePamphilis,
Cabot Market Letter, Cabot Money Management,  Inc., Cabot Heritage  Corporation,
John C.  Oxley and Thomas E.  Oxley,  as  co-executors  of the Estate of John T.
Oxley, The Oxley Foundation, Everen Securities, Inc., Mack Walker, Robert Lutts,
Timothy W. Lutts, Donald Chapman and Carlton G. Lutts. The plaintiff purports to
bring this  action on behalf of a class of persons  who sold put  options in the
common  stock of the Company  between  November 7, 1995 and June 20,  1996.  The
plaintiff  alleges that the  defendants  defrauded the putative class members by
(1) manipulating the price and supply of the Company's common stock, (2) issuing
false  and  misleading   statements   regarding  the  nature  of  the  Company's
proprietary  PEARL(R)  technology,  (3) failing to  disclose  the true depth and
target of an Securities and Exchange  Commission  investigation into the trading
in the Company's stock, (4) making misleading statements regarding the Company's
claims to its PEARL technology and its contract with a principal customer of the
Company,  Heidelberger  Druckmaschinen A.G., and (5) failing to disclose alleged
trading on non-public information by certain of the individual  defendants.  The
Complaint  alleges that the above  conduct of the  defendants  caused the market
price of the Company's stock to be artificially  inflated. The plaintiff alleges
that the  defendants  violated  Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5
promulgated  thereunder  and the New  Hampshire  "Blue Sky" laws,  and committed
common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The plaintiff seeks to recover
unspecified  compensatory  and  punitive  damages  purportedly  on behalf of the
putative  class,  as well as costs and expenses,  including  attorneys' fees and
expert witnesses' fees.

     The Company  intends to  vigorously  defend all of the  foregoing  actions.
However,  the  outcome  of  any  litigation  is  subject  to  uncertainty  and a
successful claim against the Company 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.

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 Item 2 and
elsewhere 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").

Results of Operations

     The Company,  which was  incorporated in the State of Delaware in September
1987,  continues to further develop and market its proprietary,  digital imaging
technologies and system  architectures,  and  non-photographic  consumables (the
"Direct Imaging" technologies) primarily to the graphic arts and related imaging
industries.  The Company's current Direct Imaging  technologies,  referred to as
PEARL(R), permit the direct digital imaging of the Company's printing plates and
films which eliminates the need for  photosensitive  materials and the hazardous
waste by-products and effluents usually associated with these processes.

     The  Company  continues  to  pursue  a  strategy  based  on  alliances  and
relationships  with major  corporations in the graphic arts and other industries
encompassing    licensing,    product    development   and    commercialization,
manufacturing,  marketing,  distribution,  sales and  services.  The Company and
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG ("Heidelberg"),  the world's largest manufacturer
of printing presses and printing equipment,  based in Germany, jointly developed
the first  Heidelberg  Direct  Imaging  Printing  Press (the  "GTO-DI")  and its
successor,  the four color, fully automated  lithographic press, the Quickmaster
DI 46-4  ("Quickmaster  DI") to take full  advantage of the  Company's  improved
implementation  of its Direct Imaging  technologies.  The  Quickmaster DI press,
which was  introduced by Heidelberg in May 1995 to replace the GTO-DI,  which is
no longer  being  produced,  employs  the  Company's  automatic  plate  changing
cylinder which  eliminates the need for manually  changing  plates between jobs.
The Company also has an agreement with the Adast Adamov Company,  a manufacturer
of offset  lithographic  presses.  This agreement has resulted in the use of the
Company's Direct Imaging  technologies on a larger format (19" x 26") multicolor
press.  Shipments of the Omni Adast  Direct  Imaging  systems  began in December
1996. In addition,  Nilpeter A/S of Denmark has announced the introduction of an
offset label press that utilizes the Company's Direct Imaging technology.


                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>



     During  1996,  the  Company  began  shipments  of  the  PEARLsetter(TM),  a
computer-to-plate  imaging  device that images  both the  Company's  wet and dry
offset printing plates. Other systems are under development,  which will use the
Company's   imaging  and  plate  technology  in  a  broader  range  of  printing
applications.

     On February 15, 1996, the Company  acquired 90% of the  outstanding  common
stock of Catalina  Coatings,  Inc.,  an Arizona  corporation  ("Catalina").  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for  as a  purchase.  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. Accordingly, the results of Catalina's operations have been included in
the Company's June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996 financial statements.

     The Company  operates and reports on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the
Saturday  closest to December 31.  Accordingly,  the second quarters of 1997 and
1996 ended on June 28, 1997, and June 29, 1996, respectively.

     On May 30, 1997,  the Company's  Board of Directors  declared a two-for-one
common stock  split,  effected in the form of a 100% stock  dividend,  which was
paid on July 7, 1997 to holders of record on June 12, 1997 . The split  resulted
in the issuance of  15,537,612  new shares of common  stock.  All  references to
average  number of shares  outstanding  and prices per share have been  restated
retroactively to reflect the split.

Revenues

     Revenues  for the  quarters  ended  June 28,  1997  and  June  29,  1996 of
$20,896,000 and $11,880,000 (of which $309,000 and $531,000 related to Catalina)
consisted of product sales, royalties,  fees and other reimbursements.  Revenues
for the second  quarter of 1997  increased  $9,016,000  or 76%  compared  to the
second  quarter  of 1996.  For the first six  months of 1997 and 1996,  revenues
totaled  $40,904,000 and $22,884,000,  respectively,  (of which $1,893,000,  and
$1,422,000  related  to  Catalina).  Revenues  for the first six  months of 1997
increased $18,020,000 or 79% compared to the first six months of 1996.

     Product sales increased $8,048,000 and $16,870,000, respectively, comparing
the three and six month  periods in 1997 with the same  periods  in 1996.  These
increases were primarily a result of volume increases in sales by the Company of
Direct Imaging systems used in the  Quickmaster DI, as well as volume  increases
in  consumable  sales,   offset  by  a  reduction  in  the  Company's  sales  of
PEARLsetters.  Market acceptance of the Company's PEARLsetter is developing more
slowly than the Company originally anticipated. This resulted in no sales of the
PEARLsetter for the second quarter ended June 28, 1997.

     Royalties  and fees  from  licensees  increased  $968,000  and  $1,149,000,
respectively, in the second quarter and first six months of 1997 compared to the
same periods in 1996. Royalty increases of $2,381,000 and $4,204,000 were offset
by reductions of $1,413,000 and  $3,055,000,  respectively,  in engineering  and
other fees primarily received from Heidelberg.

                                     - 13 -

<PAGE>


Included  in the  second  quarter  of 1997  were  certain  fees  related  to the
Company's   agreement  to  license  its  on-press   imaging  patents  to  Scitex
Corporation Ltd.

     Engineering and other fees are based  primarily on amounts  annually agreed
upon  between  the  Company  and  Heidelberg.  No  significant  fees  have  been
negotiated for 1997, and there can be no assurance that the Company will receive
any  significant  fees from  Heidelberg  in the current  fiscal  year.  Revenues
generated  under the Company's  agreements  with  Heidelberg and from Heidelberg
distributors  represented  77% and 74% for the six month  periods ended June 28,
1997 and June 29, 1996, respectively.

Cost of Products Sold

     Costs of products sold for the second  quarter and first six months of 1997
totaled   $9,942,000   and   $20,549,000   (of  which  $371,000  and  $1,576,000
respectively  related to Catalina)  compared to $4,825,000 and  $10,226,000  (of
which $405,000 and $1,075,000,  respectively,  related to Catalina) for the same
periods  in 1996.  These  costs  consist  of the  material,  labor and  overhead
associated with product sales,  as well as future warranty costs.  The increases
in such costs comparing the second quarter and the first six months of 1997 with
the  comparable  periods  in 1996  related  primarily  to  corresponding  volume
increases in product sales. The improvement in the gross margin on product sales
to 36% for the first six  months  of 1997 from 34% in the  comparable  period in
1996 resulted  primarily from a change in product mix and certain volume related
manufacturing efficiencies.

Engineering and Product Development

     Engineering  and product  development  expenses for the second  quarter and
first  six  months  of  1997  totaled  $2,544,000  and  $4,811,000  compared  to
$1,800,000  and  $4,033,000  for the same  periods  in 1996.  The  increases  of
$744,000  (41%) for the  second  quarter  and  $778,000  (19%) for the first six
months of 1997  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 including the Company's
PEARLwet(TM), PEARLdry(TM), and PEARLgold(TM) plates.

Marketing

     Marketing  expenses  for the  second  quarter  and first six months of 1997
totaled  $1,091,000 and  $1,853,000  compared to $636,000 and $1,182,000 for the
same periods in 1996.  The increases for the second quarter and first six months
of 1997 of $455,000 (72%) and $671,000 (57%), respectively,  related principally
to increased

                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>



expenditures for additional  personnel and related costs, as well as promotional
activities and trade shows.

General and Administrative

     General and  Administrative  expenses for the second  quarter and first six
months of 1997 totaled $1,718,000 and $2,965,000 (of which $132,000 and $371,000
respectively  related to Catalina) compared to $1,809,000 and $2,771,000 for the
same periods in 1996.  The increase of $194,000 (7%) for the first six months of
1997 related principally to increased  expenditures for salaries and other costs
required to conduct various general and administrative functions of the Company.

Other Income and Expense

     Dividend and interest  income earned on the Company's cash and  investments
decreased  $150,000 for the second quarter and $258,000 for the first six months
of 1997  compared to the same  periods in 1996,  principally  as a result of the
decreased funds available for investment.

     The  increase in other  expenses  of  $394,000  for the first six months of
1997, compared to the same period in 1996, related primarily to foreign exchange
losses incurred on certain receivables from Heidelberg.

Income Taxes

     The provisions for income taxes for the second quarter and six months ended
June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996 represent  principally charges in lieu of income
taxes relating to the tax benefit of stock option  deductions  earned during the
periods.  The tax benefit of such stock option  deductions  has been credited to
stockholders' equity.

Net Income

     As a result of the foregoing,  the Company had net income of $3,210,000 and
$6,112,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 1997,  compared to net
income of $1,647,000 and $2,936,000 for the same periods in 1996. The operations
of Catalina did not have a material  effect on net income for the quarters ended
June 28, 1997, and June 29, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At June 28,  1997,  the  Company  had  working  capital of  $25,068,000,  a
decrease of $4,315,000 as compared to working capital of $29,383,000 at December
28, 1996. This decrease was primarily  attributed to the Company's  additions to
property, plant and equipment of $17,006,000, offset in part by net income from

                                     - 15 -

<PAGE>



operations of $6,112,000,  plus non-cash items including the tax benefit arising
from stock option deductions of $3,910,000, and depreciation and amortization of
$1,442,000.

     Net cash provided by operating activities of $10,272,000 for the six months
ended June 28,  1997,  resulted  primarily  from net income from  operations  of
$6,112,000 plus noncash items totaling  $6,490,000  ($3,910,000 of which relates
to the tax benefit arising from stock option  deductions)  offset by an increase
in inventory of $3,045,000.

     Net cash used for investing  activities of  $13,718,000  for the six months
ended June 28, 1997, resulted primarily from the proceeds of sales of marketable
securities of $3,494,000,  offset by additions to property,  plant and equipment
used in the Company's business of $17,006,000.

     Net cash provided by financing  activities during the six months ended June
28, 1997,  totaled  $2,263,000,  and consisted of utilization under the Citizens
Bank line of credit of $1,000,000  and the sale of Common Stock  incident to the
exercise of various stock options.

     The Company has completed the construction of a 70,000 square foot facility
in Tucson,  Arizona for Catalina,  and is nearing completion of the construction
of 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  operations,  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 $32,600,000.

     Through June 28, 1997, the Company has expended  approximately  $14,973,000
for  land,  land  improvements,  and  construction  of the two  new  facilities.
Approximately  $8,830,000 of this total was expended during the first six months
of  1997,  and as of  June  28,  1997,  the  Company  had  outstanding  purchase
commitments  of  approximately  $1,500,000  with respect to the new  facilities.
Additionally,  through June 28, 1997, the Company  expended  $12,385,000 for new
plate  manufacturing,   finishing,   and  packaging   equipment.   Approximately
$4,575,000 of this total was expended  during the first six months of 1997,  and
as of June 28,  1997,  the  Company  had  outstanding  purchase  commitments  of
approximately $3,725,000 with respect to the plate manufacturing, finishing, and
packaging equipment.

     On July 29, 1997, the Company  renewed its agreement with Citizens Bank New
Hampshire  ("Citizens")  for a  revolving  line of credit  loan under  which the
Company may borrow a maximum of $10,000,000 for working capital requirements and
general corporate  purposes.  Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the
Company's  assets  and are  guaranteed  by the  Company's  subsidiary,  Catalina
Coatings, Inc. and secured by its assets. Under the terms

                                     - 16 -

<PAGE>



of the  revolving  credit  agreement,  the Company is  required to meet  certain
financial  covenants on a quarterly  and annual  basis.  Interest on the line of
credit is payable at the LIBOR rate plus  1.75%  (7.47% at June 28,  1997).  The
loan agreement  terminates on July 31, 1999, at which date, the entire principal
and accrued  interest is due and payable.  As of June 28, 1997,  the Company had
$1,000,000 outstanding and $9,000,000 available under the line of credit.

     The Company  continues to explore  various  long term funding  options with
respect to  financing  the cost of its new  facilities  and plate  manufacturing
equipment.  There can be no assurance  that the Company can obtain any necessary
financing for its new facilities and plate manufacturing  equipment. The Company
believes that existing funds and the funds  available  under its current line of
credit  will be  sufficient  to  satisfy  working  capital  requirements  in the
foreseeable future.

Effect of Inflation

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which
is effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Earlier  application is not permitted.  The Company  accordingly  plans to adopt
SFAS No. 128 in its January 3, 1998  annual  financial  statements.  The Company
does not  anticipate  that SFAS No. 128 would have had a material  effect on the
earnings  per share  presented,  if it had been  adopted in the first six months
ended June 28, 1997.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings


     On June 16,  1997,  Seena  Stevens  Silverman  commenced a purported  class
action in the United  States  District  Court for the District of New  Hampshire
against the Company,  Lawrence Howard, Richard A. Williams,  Robert E. Verrando,
Glenn J. DiBenedetto, Frank G. Pensavecchia, Harold N. Sparks, Bert DePamphilis,
Cabot Market Letter, Cabot Money Management,  Inc., Cabot Heritage  Corporation,
John C.  Oxley and Thomas E.  Oxley,  as  co-executors  of the Estate of John T.
Oxley, The Oxley Foundation, Everen Securities, Inc., Mack Walker, Robert Lutts,
Timothy W. Lutts, Donald Chapman and Carlton G. Lutts. The plaintiff purports to
bring this  action on behalf of a class of persons  who sold put  options in the
common  stock of the Company  between  November 7, 1995 and June 20,  1996.  The
plaintiff  alleges that the  defendants  defrauded the putative class members by
(1) manipulating the price and supply of the Company's common stock, (2) issuing
false  and  misleading   statements   regarding  the  nature  of  the  Company's
proprietary  PEARL(R)  technology,  (3) failing to  disclose  the true depth and
target of an SEC  investigation  into the trading in the  Company's  stock,  (4)
making  misleading  statements  regarding  the  Company's  claims  to its  PEARL
technology  and  its  contract  with  a  principal   customer  of  the  Company,
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen A.G., and (5) failing to disclose alleged trading on
non-public  information by certain of the individual  defendants.  The Complaint
alleges that the above conduct of the defendants  caused the market price of the
Company's  stock to be  artificially  inflated.  The plaintiff  alleges that the
defendants  violated  Section 10(b) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5  promulgated  thereunder  and the New Hampshire  "Blue Sky" laws, and
committed common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation.  The plaintiff seeks
to recover  unspecified  compensatory and punitive damages purportedly on behalf
of the putative class, as well as costs and expenses,  including attorneys' fees
and expert witnesses' fees.

     See Note 6 of Notes to the Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q
and Item 3 of the  Company's  Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December  28,
1996, for a description of certain other legal  proceedings  pending against the
Company, its officers, and certain of its directors.

The Company intends to vigorously defend all of the foregoing actions.  However,
the outcome of any litigation is subject to uncertainty  and a successful  claim
against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company.


Item 6.   Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

     (a)  Exhibit 27 Financial Data Schedule (for SEC use only)

     (b)  No  reports  on Form 8-K were  filed for the  quarter  for which  this
          report is filed.
