                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                  JULY 4, 1998


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.  In the opinion of
management,  all adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair presentation have
been included and all such adjustments were normal and recurring.  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
fiscal  year ended  January 3, 1998.  The January 3, 1998  information  has been
derived directly from the annual financial statements. Operating results for the
three and six month periods ended July 4, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended January 2, 1999.

     Presstek, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the development,  manufacture,
and sale of PEARL(R),  its patented,  proprietary,  digital  imaging  system and
process-free,  thermal ablation printing plate technology. PEARL's thermal laser
diode  system is capable  of imaging  various  types of the  Company's  printing
plates  either  off-press  or  on-press  to produce  high  quality,  full-color,
lithographic  printed  materials  for the printing and graphic arts  industries.
Revenues   generated   under  the   Company's   agreements   with   Heidelberger
Druckmaschinen   AG   ("Heidelberg"),   the  world's   largest   printing  press
manufacturer,  and from Heidelberg distributors represented 57% and 77% of total
revenues for the six months ended July 4, 1998, and June 28, 1997, respectively.
Revenues  from  Heidelberg  include  sales of  consumable  products  sold  under
distribution agreements.

     Delta V Technologies,  Inc. ("Delta V"), formerly Catalina Coatings,  Inc.,
is  engaged  in the  development,  manufacture,  and sale of  vacuum  deposition
coating equipment, and licensing and sub-licensing of patent rights with respect
to a vapor  deposition  process to coat moving webs of material at high  speeds.
During the first six months of 1997,  a  substantial  part of Delta V's  efforts
were devoted to developing and  manufacturing the equipment the Company requires
to  manufacture  PEARL  thermal  plates.  Delta  V  subsequently   expanded  its
commercial  relationships  with other  companies and currently has a backlog for
its customized high-vacuum deposition systems.

     On January 4, 1998,  the Company  acquired the stock of Heath Custom Press,
Inc.  ("Heath"),  of  Seattle,  Washington.  Heath is  engaged in the design and
manufacture of custom printing presses.

Heath was  purchased  for 94,865  unregistered  shares of the  Company's  Common
Stock.  The purchase price of $2,407,000  has been allocated to assets  acquired
and  liabilities  assumed  based  on  the  fair  market  value  at the  date  of
acquisition  as  follows:  current  assets,  $2,198,000;   patents,  $1,781,000;
long-term assets, $186,000; other liabilities,  $1,758,000.  The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,  the results of Heath's operations
have been included in the Company's financial  statements for the second quarter
and first six months of 1998.  The results of Heath's  operations did not have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations.

     Delta  V and  Heath  operate  as 90% and  100%  owned  subsidiaries  of the
Company,  respectively.  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

     Certain  accounts in the 1997 financial  statements have been  reclassified
for comparative  purposes to conform with the  presentation in the July 4, 1998,
financial statements.

     The Company  operates and reports on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the
Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the three and six month periods of
1998 and 1997 ended on July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997, respectively.

2. INVENTORIES

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
on the  first-in,  first-out  method.  At July 4,  1998,  and  January  3, 1998,
inventories consisted of the following:

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standard  (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings per Share," which
requires companies to report basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS as a
replacement for primary and fully diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
Common Stock and Common Stock equivalent  shares  outstanding.  On May 30, 1997,
the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split, effected in
the form of a 100% stock  dividend  during the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The
split  resulted  in the  issuance  of  15,549,862  shares of Common  Stock.  All
references  to average  number of shares  outstanding  and prices per share have
been restated retroactively to reflect the split.

     Summaries  of the  earnings  per share  calculations  for the three and six
month periods ended July 4, 1998, and June 28, 1997, follow:

     Options to  purchase  192,500  shares of Common  Stock at  exercise  prices
ranging from $16.81 to $44.75 per share were outstanding during a portion of the
first six months of 1998,  but were not included in the  computation  of diluted
earnings per share, because the exercise prices of the options were greater than
the average  market  price of the common  shares.  These  options,  which expire
between  February 15, 2001,  and May 18, 2004,  were all  outstanding at July 4,
1998.

4. INCOME TAXES

     The  components  of the  provision  for  income  taxes for the three  month
periods  ended  July 4,  1998,  and  June 28,  1997,  based  upon the  estimated
effective income tax rate for the full fiscal year, were as follows:


                                       1998                      1997

                              ==========   ==========   ==========   ==========

     The charge in lieu of income taxes included in the six months ended July 4,
1998 relates  principally to the realization of net operating loss carryforwards
resulting from stock  compensation  deductions  for tax purposes.  The charge in
lieu of income  taxes  included in the second  quarter and six months ended June
28,  1997  relates  principally  to the tax benefit of stock  option  deductions
earned in that  period.  These  deductions  have been  credited to  stockholders
equity.

5. CREDIT FACILITIES

     On February 6, 1998, the Company obtained a ten-year  mortgage term loan in
the   principal   amount  of   $6,900,000   from  Citizens  Bank  New  Hampshire
("Citizens").  Borrowings  are  secured  by land  and  buildings  with a cost of
approximately $17,000,000.  The loan bears a fixed rate of interest of 7.12% per
year during the first five years,  and a variable  rate of interest at the LIBOR
rate plus 2% (7.66% at July 4, 1998) for the remaining five years. Principal and
interest  payments  during  the first  five years of the loan will be made in 60
monthly installments of $80,500.  During the remaining five years, principal and
interest  payments will be made on a monthly basis in the amount of one-sixtieth
of the outstanding  principal amount as of the first day of the second five year
period,  plus accrued interest through the monthly payment date. All outstanding
principal  and  accrued  and unpaid  interest  is due and payable on February 6,
2008.  As of July 4, 1998,  the  Company had  received  all  proceeds  under the
mortgage term loan.

     On July 29, 1997,  the Company  renewed its  agreement  with 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,  Delta V, and  secured by its assets.
Under the terms of the revolving  credit  agreement, 


                                      -10-

<PAGE>



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% (7.41% at July 4, 1998).  The loan agreement  terminates on July 31, 1999,
at which date, the entire principal and accrued interest is due and payable.  As
of July 4, 1998, the Company had $10,000,000 available under the line of credit.

6. OTHER INFORMATION

     Since June 28, 1996,  several class action lawsuits have been filed against
the Company and certain other defendants, including, but not limited to, certain
of 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 officer and director defendants 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.  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.

      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,  which may result from these  lawsuits. 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result has been recorded in
the accompanying financial statements.

7. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires that all components of
comprehensive  income and total  comprehensive  income be reported on one of the
following:  a statement  of income and  comprehensive  income,  a  statement  of
comprehensive  income,  or a statement of  stockholder's  equity.  Comprehensive
income is  comprised  of net income and all  changes  to  stockholder's  equity,
except  those due to  investments  by owners  (changes in paid in  capital)  and
distributions to owners (dividends).  For interim reporting  purposes,  SFAS 130
requires disclosure of total comprehensive  income. There was no material impact
during  the six months  ended July 4, 1998 and June 28,  1997 as a result of the
adoption of SFAS 130,  since  there was no  significant  difference  between net
income and comprehensive income in either period.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 131, "Financial  Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related
Information."  SFAS No. 131  supersedes  SFAS No. 14,  "Financial  Reporting for
Segments of a Business Enterprise," and establishes standards for the way public
enterprises report information about operating segments in financial  statements
issued to the public.  It also establishes  standards for disclosures  regarding
products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.  This standard is
effective  for the  Company's  financial  statements to be issued for the fiscal
year ending January 2, 1999. This standard requires  comparative  information to
be restated.  Results of operations and financial position will be unaffected by
the  implementation  of this new standard.  Management has not yet completed its
evaluation  of the impact of this new  standard  on future  financial  statement
disclosures.

     In February  1998,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 132,  "Employers'  Disclosures
about  Pensions and Other  Postretirement  Benefits"  (SFAS 132),  which revises
employers'  disclosures  about pension and other  postretirement  benefit plans.
SFAS 132 is effective  for  financial  statements  for periods  beginning  after
December 15, 1997, and requires comparative  information for earlier years to be
restated. This standard does not currently apply to the Company.
     
     The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement
of Position 98-5,  "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5").
This SOP defines  start-up  activities as those one-time  activities  related to
opening  a new  facility,  introducing  a new  product  or  service,  conducting
business in a new territory,  conducting business with a new class of customers,
initiating  a new  process  in an  existing  facility,  or  commencing  some new
operation.  SOP 98-5 requires that these start-up costs be expensed as incurred.
This SOP is effective for


                                      -12-
<PAGE>


financial  statements  for fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1998,
although  earlier  application is encouraged.  Management  does not believe that
adoption of SOP 98-5 will materially impact the results of operations, financial
position, and future financial statement disclosures.

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 133"), which requires companies to recognize
all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the statement of financial
position  and measure  those  instruments  at fair value.  The Company  does not
presently enter into any transactions involving derivative financial instruments
and,  accordingly,  does not anticipate the new standard will have any effect on
its  financial  statements.  Should  the  Company  enter  into any  transactions
involving  derivatives in the future,  it will comply with the  requirements  of
SFAS No. 133.

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:

     Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q constitute  "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such  forward-looking  statements involve a number of known and unknown
risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors  which may cause the  actual  results,
performance or achievements  of the Company to be materially  different from any
future  results,  performance  or  achievements  expressed  or  implied  by such
forward-looking  statements.  Such factors include,  but are 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  Company's
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The words "believe",
"expect", "anticipate", "intend", "forecast", and "plan" and similar expressions

reliance on these  forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date
the statement was made.

Background

     Presstek, Inc. (The "Company" or "Presstek"), incorporated in Delaware, was
founded in September 1987 as a development company. It was established to find a
new  way to  produce  color  offset  printing.  Heidelberger  Druckmaschinen  AG
("Heidelberg"), the world's largest printing press manufacturer, and the Company
established  a  relationship  that was  formalized  in 1991 and  resulted in the
introduction of the first jointly developed  product,  the spark discharge based
GTO-DI. In 1993, after investing  substantial effort and resources,  the Company
completed the  development  of its high  resolution,  semiconductor  based laser
diode imaging and thermal plate  technology  referred to as PEARL. The Company's
PEARL 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. These printed materials typically can
be  produced  at  a  lower  cost  than  traditional   competitive  methods.  The
PEARL-based  GTO-DI was  introduced  in late 1993,  and in May 1995,  Heidelberg
introduced the Quickmaster DI 46-4 ("QM-DI"),  which replaced the GTO-DI product
line.  The QM-DI  represents  the second  generation of  Presstek's  PEARL-based
direct  imaging  technology.  It also  employs  the  Company's  automatic  plate
changing  cylinder which  eliminates the need to manually  change plates between
jobs,  as well as a  number  of other  productivity  improvement  features.  The
Company began shipment of its PEARL-based  Quickmaster Direct Imaging systems to
Heidelberg in the second quarter of 1995. The Company  estimates that as of July
4,  1998,  there  were  approximately  900  PEARL-equipped   Heidelberg  presses
installed utilizing the Company's proprietary consumable printing plates.


                                      -14-
<PAGE>


     The Company is also engaged in the  development  of additional  PEARL-based
products  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, a manufacturer of sheet fed offset presses.  This
agreement has resulted in the availability of the Company's PEARL Direct Imaging
technology on a larger format Omni-Adast (19" x 26") multicolor press, shipments
of which began in December  1996.  Also,  during the first quarter of 1996,  the
Company  began  shipments  of its  PEARL  platesetter,  now  referred  to as the
PEARLsetter.  The PEARLsetter is a computer-to-plate  imaging system that images
both the Company's wet and dry offset  plates.  Another  agreement  entered into
with  Nilpeter  A/S of Denmark  has  resulted  in the  utilization  of the PEARL
technology on a high-speed  rotary label  printing press called the OFFSET 3300.
Presstek  supplies a special  PEARL-based  digital  imaging  system which images
Presstek's  thermal plates  directly on the press plate  cylinder.  In 1998, the
Company began shipment of its PEARLhdp(TM)  laser imaging system.  The PEARLhdp,
jointly  developed with Imation Corp., is a digital halftone proofing device. It
can produce true  halftone  "dot for dot" color press proofs using the Company's
computer-to-plate imaging system specially modified for this unique application.

     On January 4, 1998,  the Company  acquired the stock of Heath Custom Press,
Inc.  ("Heath"),  of  Seattle,  Washington.  Heath is  engaged in the design and
manufacture  of  custom  printing  presses.   Heath  was  purchased  for  94,865
unregistered  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  The  purchase  price of
$2,407,000 has been allocated to assets acquired and  liabilities  assumed based
on the fair market value at the date of acquisition as follows:  current assets,
$2,198,000;  patents, $1,781,000; long term assets, $186,000; other liabilities,
$1,758,000.  The acquisition  was accounted for as a purchase and,  accordingly,
the  results of Heath's  operations  are  included  in the  Company's  financial
statements  for the second  quarter and first six months ended July 4, 1998. The
results  of  Heath's  operations  would  not have had a  material  impact on the
Company's results of operations for 1997.

     The Company  operates and reports on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the
Saturday closest to December 31.  Accordingly,  the second quarter and first six
months of 1998 and 1997 ended on July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997, respectively.

Results of Operations

Revenues

      Revenues  for the  quarters  ended  July 4,  1998  and  June  28,  1997 of
$23,029,000  and   $20,896,000,   respectively,   consisted  of  product  sales,
royalties,  fees and other  reimbursements.  Revenues for the second  quarter of
1998 increased $2,133,000 or 10% compared to the second quarter of 1997. For the
first six months of 1998 and 1997, revenues totaled $47,370,000 and $40,904,000,


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

respectively.  Revenues for the first six months of 1998 increased $6,466,000 or
16% compared to the first six months of 1997.

     Product sales increased $3,757,000 and $7,068,000,  respectively, comparing
the three and six month  periods in 1998 with the same  periods  in 1997.  These
increases  were  primarily  a  result  of  volume  increases  in  the  Company's
PEARLsetter and PEARLhdp  computer-to-plate  imaging systems,  as well as volume
increases in sales of vacuum  deposition  coating  equipment and custom printing
press products, and proprietary consumable products. The revenues generated from
the sale of the Company's PEARLdry and other consumable products were $7,809,000
and  $13,884,000  for the second quarter and six months ended July 4, 1998. This
increase of $3,858,000 and $6,370,000  over the comparable  periods in 1997, was
the most significant increase in the Company's product revenues. These increases
were  partially  offset by a reduction in sales of the Company's  Direct Imaging
systems to Heidelberg for use on the QM-DI.

     Royalties  and fees  from  licensees  decreased  $1,624,000  and  $602,000,
respectively, in the second quarter and first six months of 1998 compared to the
same  periods in 1997.  Royalty  decreases  for the three and six month  periods
ended  July  4,  1998  of  $1,576,000  and  $1,807,000,  respectively,  resulted
primarily  from the  reduction  in sales of Direct  Imaging  systems used on the
QM-DI. Fees from licensees increased $1,205,000 for the six months ended July 4,
1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 as a result of engineering and other
fees received  primarily  from Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.  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.

     Revenues generated under the Company's  agreements with Heidelberg and from
Heidelberg  distributors  represented  57% and 77% of total revenues for the six
month periods ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997, respectively.

     While  the  Company  believes  that the  reduction  in sales of the  Direct
Imaging  systems for use on the QM-DI will  continue  through the  remainder  of
1998, the  anticipated  increase in volume related to the Company's  proprietary
consumables sold for the QM-DI and other  equipment,  as well as the anticipated
increase in volume related to the PEARLsetter and PEARLhdp imaging  systems,  is
expected to help mitigate the effect of the decrease in sales of Direct  Imaging
systems used on the QM-DI. There can be no assurance,  however, that the Company
will achieve additional revenue increases.

Cost of Products Sold

     Costs of products sold for the second  quarter and first six months of 1998
totaled  $13,659,000 and $27,832,000  compared to $9,942,000 and $20,549,000 for
the same  periods  in 1997.  These  costs  consist  of the  material,  labor and
overhead  associated with product sales,  as well as future warranty costs.  The
reduction in

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

the gross  margin on  product  sales to 31% for the  second  quarter  of 1998 as
compared to 38% for the  comparable  period in 1997 resulted  primarily from the
reduction in sales of the Company's Direct Imaging systems to Heidelberg for the
QM-DI,  as well as increased  sales of lower margin  vacuum  deposition  coating
equipment and  specialty  custom  presses.  The reduction in the gross margin on
product sales to 29% for the first six months of 1998 from 36% in the comparable
period in 1997 resulted  primarily  from the reduction in sales of the Company's
Direct  Imaging  systems to Heidelberg for the QM-DI,  increased  sales of lower
margin specialty custom presses,  as well as increased costs associated with the
Hudson, New Hampshire manufacturing operations.

     The  Company  anticipates  that the gross  margin  on  product  sales  will
continue at the current reduced levels through the remainder of 1998, due to the
anticipated  reduction of sales of Direct Imaging systems to Heidelberg  through
the second half of 1998.  However,  there can be no assurance that the Company's
gross margin on product sales will continue at current levels.

Engineering and Product Development Expenses

     Engineering and product  development  expenses,  which consist primarily of
personnel,  parts,  supplies,  and contracted  services  required to conduct the
Company's  equipment  and  consumable  product  development   efforts,   totaled
$4,179,000  and  $7,421,000  for the second quarter and first six months of 1998
compared  to  $2,544,000  and  $4,811,000  for the same  periods  in  1997.  The
increases of $1,635,000  (64%) for the second quarter and  $2,610,000  (54%) for
the first six months of 1998 resulted  principally  from increased  expenditures
for parts,  supplies, and contracted services related to the Company's continued
development of products  incorporating its PEARL  technology.  Included in these
development efforts are significant expenditures for the Company's PEARLgold(TM)
and other consumable  products,  as well as expenditures for the next generation
laser diode technology and other product development efforts.

     The Company  expects these increased  development  expenditures to continue
through the end of 1998, however,  there can be no assurance that these expenses
will not be greater than anticipated. Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and Marketing Expenses

     Sales  and  marketing   expenses  which  consist  primarily  of  personnel,
advertising,  and promotional expenses totaled $1,631,000 and $2,794,000 for the
second  quarter  and  first six  months  of 1998,  compared  to  $1,091,000  and
$1,853,000  for the same periods in 1997.  The increases for the second  quarter
and first six months of 1998 of $540,000 (49%) and $941,000 (51%), respectively,
related  principally  to  increased   expenditures  for  additional   personnel,
professional  services,  and other related costs  associated  with the Company's
efforts  to expand its  worldwide  sales,  distribution  and  technical  support
network.


                                      -17-
<PAGE>


     It is expected that  expenditures for the remaining six months of 1998 will
increase as the Company seeks to expand its  distribution  channels and increase
its promotional activities by its attendance at two major trade shows during the
second half of 1998.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that these  expenses
will not be greater than anticipated.

General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative  expenses,  which consist primarily of personnel
and contracted professional services,  totaled $2,694,000 and $4,924,000 for the
second  quarter  and  first six  months  of 1998,  compared  to  $1,718,000  and
$2,965,000  for the same periods in 1997.  The  increases of $976,000  (57%) and
$1,959,000 (66%),  respectively,  related principally to increased  expenditures
for additional  personnel required to conduct the finance,  information systems,
and administrative functions of the Company. In addition, the Company recorded a
one-time  charge for an  uncollectible  account in the amount of $364,000 in the
second quarter of 1998, related to its Delta V subsidiary.

      The Company  anticipates  that  general and  administrative  costs for the
remainder  of 1998 will be reduced to levels  incurred  in the first  quarter of
1998, however, there can be no assurance that these expenses will not be greater
than anticipated.

Other Income and Expense

     Other income  increased for both the second quarter and first six months of
1998 compared to the same period in 1997, due to the absence of foreign exchange
losses in 1998 incurred on certain receivables from Heidelberg,  and the gain in
the  first  quarter  of 1998 from the sale of a parcel  of land in  Hudson,  New
Hampshire.

Provision for Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes for the second  quarter and six months ended
July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997 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 $636,000  and
$2,978,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 1998,  compared to net
income of $3,210,000 and $6,112,000 for the same periods in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At July 4, 1998,  the Company had cash and cash  equivalents of $24,138,000
and working capital of $43,763,000,  as compared to cash and cash equivalents of
$6,209,000 and working capital of $32,962,000 at January 3, 1998.

     Cash generated from operating activities was $18,971,000 for the six months
ended July 4,  1998.  The cash flow  resulted  primarily  from net  income  from
operations  of  $2,978,000,  adjusted for  non-cash  items of  depreciation  and
amortization of $2,210,000, the tax benefit arising from stock option deductions
of $1,620,000,  reductions in accounts receivable and inventories of $6,188,000,
offset by a reduction in accounts  payable and accrued  expenses of  $2,436,000.
Cash flows from  operations  were  significantly  affected  by the  increase  in
billing in excess of costs and estimated  earnings on  uncompleted  contracts of
$7,595,000,  primarily as a result of advance payments on the vacuum  deposition
coating  equipment under  construction at the Company's Delta V subsidiary,  and
the  Company's  development  program with Fuji Photo Film Co.,  Ltd. The Company
expects  to  expend  this  cash over the next six  months  as it  completes  its
obligations under the related contracts.

     Net cash used for investing  activities  of  $1,803,000  for the six months
ended July 4, 1998,  resulted  primarily from  additions to property,  plant and
equipment used in the Company's  business of $2,975,000,  offset by the maturity
of marketable securities of $1,000,000.

     Net cash provided by financing  activities during the six months ended July
4, 1998,  totaled  $1,529,000,  and  consisted  primarily of the proceeds from a
mortgage  term loan of  $6,900,000,  offset by the  payments  of  $5,400,000  on
revolving lines of credit.

     On February 6, 1998, the Company obtained a ten-year  mortgage term loan in
the   principal   amount  of   $6,900,000   from  Citizens  Bank  New  Hampshire
("Citizens").  Borrowings  are  secured  by land  and  buildings  with a cost of
approximately $17,000,000.  The loan bears a fixed rate of interest of 7.12% per
year during the first five years,  and a variable  rate of interest at the LIBOR
rate plus 2% (7.66% at July 4, 1998) for the remaining five years. Principal and
interest  payments  during  the first  five years of the loan will be made in 60
monthly installments of $80,500.  During the remaining five years, principal and
interest payments shall be made on a monthly basis in the amount of one-sixtieth
of the outstanding  principal amount as of the first day of the second five year
period,  plus accrued interest through the monthly payment date. All outstanding
principal  and  accrued  and unpaid  interest  is due and payable on February 6,
2008.  As of July 4, 1998,  the  Company had  received  all  proceeds  under the
mortgage term loan.

      On July 29, 1997,  the Company  renewed its agreement  with 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

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

secured by  substantially  all of the Company's assets and are guaranteed by the
Company's subsidiary, Delta V, 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% (7.41% at July 4, 1998). The loan agreement
terminates  on July 31, 1999,  at which date,  the entire  principal and accrued
interest is due and  payable.  As of July 4, 1998,  the Company had  $10,000,000
available under the line of credit.

     The Company  believes that existing funds,  future  anticipated  cash flows
from operations, and cash available under its revolving line of credit should be
sufficient to satisfy working capital  requirements and capital  expenditures 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

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires that all components of
comprehensive  income and total  comprehensive  income be reported on one of the
following:  a statement  of income and  comprehensive  income,  a  statement  of
comprehensive  income,  or a statement of  stockholder's  equity.  Comprehensive
income is  comprised  of net income and all  changes  to  stockholder's  equity,
except  those due to  investments  by owners  (changes in paid in  capital)  and
distributions to owners (dividends).  For interim reporting  purposes,  SFAS 130
requires disclosure of total comprehensive  income. There was no material impact
during the first six months  ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997 as a result of
the adoption of SFAS 130, since there was no significant  difference between net
income and comprehensive income in either period.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 131, "Financial  Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related
Information."  SFAS No. 131  supersedes  SFAS No. 14,  "Financial  Reporting for
Segments of a Business Enterprise," and establishes standards for the way public
enterprises report information about operating segments in financial  statements
issued to the public.  It also establishes  standards for disclosures  regarding
products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.  This standard is
effective  for the  Company's  financial  statements to be issued for the fiscal
year ending January 2, 1999. This standard requires  comparative  information to
be restated.  Results of operations and financial position will be unaffected by
the  implementation  of this new standard.  Management has not yet completed its
evaluation  of the impact of this new  standard  on future  financial  statement
disclosures.


                                      -20-
<PAGE>


     In February  1998,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 132,  "Employers'  Disclosures
about  Pensions and Other  Postretirement  Benefits"  (SFAS 132),  which revises
employers'  disclosures  about pension and other  postretirement  benefit plans.
SFAS 132 is effective  for  financial  statements  for periods  beginning  after
December 15, 1997, and requires comparative  information for earlier years to be
restated. This standard does not currently apply to the Company.

     The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has issued Statement
of Position 98-5,  "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5").
This SOP defines  start-up  activities as those one-time  activities  related to
opening  a new  facility,  introducing  a new  product  or  service,  conducting
business in a new territory,  conducting business with a new class of customers,
initiating  a new  process  in an  existing  facility,  or  commencing  some new
operation.  SOP 98-5 requires that these start-up costs be expensed as incurred.
This SOP is effective for financial  statements for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998, although earlier  application is encouraged.  Management does
not  believe  that  adoption of SOP 98-5 will  materially  impact the results of
operations, financial position, and future financial statement disclosures.

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 133"), which requires companies to recognize
all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the statement of financial
position  and measure  those  instruments  at fair value.  The Company  does not
presently enter into any transactions involving derivative financial instruments
and,  accordingly,  does not anticipate the new standard will have any effect on
its  financial  statements.  Should  the  Company  enter  into any  transactions
involving  derivatives in the future,  it will comply with the  requirements  of
SFAS No. 133.

Year 2000

     The Year 2000 problem arose because many existing computer systems use only
the last two digits to identify the year instead of using all four digits. These
computer systems cannot recognize the difference in a year that begins with "20"
from a year that  begins with "19".  If not  corrected,  many of these  computer
systems could fail or create erroneous results.

     In 1998, the Company  implemented an operational  and financial  management
system that is Year 2000  compliant.  All other  software  products in use, both
internally and in products  manufactured for sale, are being evaluated to ensure
their ability to perform  properly  after 1999.  The Company does not expect the
cost of compliance,  as it applies to the Company's own systems and software, to
materially effect the results of future operations.

     The Company is also  developing a plan to determine the effect of Year 2000
compliance on its suppliers and  customers.  The Company has not yet  determined
the exposure related to  non-compliance  by third parties.  Although the Company
does not expect any  significant  costs or  disruption  in  operations  from its
customers'  or suppliers'  inability to achieve Year 2000 compliance,  it cannot
predict  the effect  such  non-compliance  will have on the  Company's  business
operations.
