Investors should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below, as well as other disclosures in Part II, Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, because they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects. The risks described below are the
currently known risks facing our Company that management
deems to be material to the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may also impair our business operations. In the event that If
such risks or uncertainties materialize,
our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
In 2025 and 2024, we incurred a net losslosses of $1.2 and $9.9 million.million, respectively. While we generated $4.7 million of net income in
2023, we incurred a net loss of $5.9 million, $4.0 million and $5.6
millionlosses in 2022,each 2021fiscal andyear 2020,from respectively.2020 to 2022. We may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. In addition, we may make further investments in product development and may increase expenses in future
periods which may
affect our ability to maintain or increase profitability. We have expended, and expect to continue to expend, financial and other resources on developing our food service technologyFST business, including acquiring a licensed copy of the BOHA! source
code, expanding our offerings, developing or
acquiring new products and services and increasing our sales and marketing efforts. These efforts may be more costly than we expect and may not result in increased revenue or growth in our food service technologyFST business.
Any failure to increase
our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and other expenses could prevent us from maintaining or increasing profitability or positive cash flow on a consistent basis. This risk may be exacerbated by current
economic conditions,
which have resulted, and may continue to result in increased costs on our products assembled in Thailand, inflationary pressures, and decreased demand for our products. Customers that placed advance orders due to supply chain disruptionsproducts in 2022 and into 2023 paused orders in 2024 while they sold
accumulated inventory. We believe all domestic customers have resumed ordering with the exception of one significant international casino and gaming customer. Though we expect overall casino and gaming sales to improve in 2025 compared to 2024,
we expect such sales to be somewhat impacted in 2025 until this customer has sold through its inventory on hand.market. If we are unable to
successfully address these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, financial condition, and
results of operations could be adversely affected.
We may not realize the expected benefits of our acquisition of a perpetual license to the BOHA! source code within the anticipated time frame or at all.
On August 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Source Code Purchase and Perpetual License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) and a related Transition Statement of Work (together with the License Agreement, the “Source Code Transition Agreement”) with Avery Dennison.
Pursuant to the Source Code Transition Agreement, the Company has acquired a non-exclusive, perpetual and royalty free license to a copy of the source code and associated documentation for the BOHA™ Control Center, BOHA™ Ops (including labeling, media, checklist and timer modules), and the BOHA™ Temp and BOHA™ Sense applications (the “Code”), subject to payment by the Company of the full purchase price of $2.55 million. This license allows the Company to use, modify, market, host, distribute, sublicense, copy and create derivative works of the Code for the Company’s business purposes. The Source Code Transition Agreement involves numerous risks, as described further below.
The transition of the Code as contemplated by the Source Code Transition Agreement may require us to incur non-recurring and other charges, increase certain expenditures, and divert certain engineering resources and management attention to support the transition of the Code into the Company’s systems.
In addition, Avery Dennison may be unable to provide the transition services required by the Source Code Transition Agreement, including its obligations under each milestone for the transition services, or there may be defects in the Code. In any case, if the Company is unable to use the Code, we may need to seek comparable software from third parties or develop it internally, which could require significant time and expense. There could also be an interruption in the Company’s services during any period, including during or after the transition period, in which the Company has to develop a comparable capability, whether on its own or using third-party products. There is no assurance that comparable software is readily available from other sources, or that if available, it would be of comparable quality and cost. Moreover, Avery Dennison retains ownership of the Code under the Source Code Transition Agreement.
Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in making any of the anticipated enhancements to the Code, that such enhancements will not result in defects in the Code, or that such enhancements will be well received by customers.
We currently rely on a third-party cloud service provider for hosting services with respect to the BOHA! software, which is currently managed by Avery Dennison. During the completion of the transition services under the Source Code Transition Agreement, we anticipate entering into a new agreement with the existing third-party cloud service provider to ensure continued hosting and support. If the software provider or cloud services provider were to terminate operations or otherwise be unavailable to provide hosting services, including during the transition from one hosting provider to another, the availability or usage of our software products could be disrupted and our customers could be adversely affected. Pursuant to the Source Code Transition Agreement, the Code, documentation and data are to be migrated into such third-party cloud hosting services that we would directly manage. During such transition from one hosting environment to another, the availability or usage of the BOHA! software could be disrupted and our customers could be adversely affected. The third-party developer also currently provides certain product support and maintenance services to the Company’s customers. The Company will be responsible for providing these services going forward, and there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capacity to provide such services in a timely manner satisfactory to its customers. Any such occurrence could materially and adversely impact our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to effectively manage these risks and uncertainties, our acquisition of the Code may not deliver the expected benefits within the anticipated time frame, or at all, and may also introduce other material risks that could adversely affect future results of the Company.
Our success depends upon our, and our development partners’, ability to timely adapt our capabilities and processes to meet the demands of producing new and innovative products. Because our newer products contain software and generally are more technologically sophisticated than those we have produced in the past, we must continually refine our capabilities to meet the needs of our product innovation. In addition, the FST industry continues to experience technological developments and innovations (such as the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning), and if we are unable to provide enhancements, new features and integrations for our existing platform (due to a lack of investment or otherwise), or if we are unable to efficiently adapt our infrastructure to meet the needs of our product innovations in a timely manner, our business could be negatively impacted.
Until the in-housing of the BOHA! source code is complete, we continue to rely on third party service providers to host our FST software and deliver certain services, and any interruptions or delays in services from these third parties could impair the delivery of our products and services, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We rely on a third-party service provider to host our FST software. Third parties also provide services to key aspects of our operations, including Internet connections and networking, data storage and processing, trust and safety and security infrastructure. We do not control the operation, physical security, or data security of any of these third-party providers. Our efforts to use commercially reasonable diligence in the selection and retention of such third-party providers may be insufficient or inadequate to prevent or remediate such operational and security risks. Our third-party providers may be subject to intrusions, computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks, sabotage, acts of vandalism, acts of terrorism or other misconduct. They are vulnerable to damage or interruption from power loss, telecommunications failures, fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and similar events, and they may be subject to financial, legal, regulatory, and labor issues, each of which may impose additional costs or requirements on us or prevent these third parties from providing services to us or our customers on our behalf. From time to time, our software maintained by these third parties has experienced brief interruptions in service which we have been able to resolve promptly by working with the third-party providers, and there may be future such interruptions that could have a material adverse effect on our customer relationships or be more costly or time-consuming to resolve. In addition, these third parties may breach their agreements with us, disagree with our interpretation of contract terms or applicable laws and regulations, refuse to continue or renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms or at all, fail to or refuse to process transactions or provide other services adequately, take actions that degrade the functionality of our platform and services, increase prices, impose additional costs or requirements on us or our customers, or give preferential treatment to our competitors. If we are unable to procure alternatives in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be subject to business disruptions, losses, or costs to remediate any of these deficiencies. The occurrence of any of the above events could result in reputational damage, legal or regulatory proceedings, loss of customers or other adverse consequences, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We are currently dependent upon a manufacturer located in Thailand for the manufacturing and assembly of substantially all of our printers and terminals, and any further or future disruption in the businesses or operations of this manufacturer or changes to our relationship with this manufacturer/increased costs of products from this manufacturer, including as a result of political, social or economic instability, war, trade restrictions or tariffs, severe weather, changes in climate, additional public health crises and other events out of our control, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In an effort to maximize cost savings and operational benefits, we have outsourced substantially all of the manufacturing and assembly of our printers and terminals to a contract manufacturer located in Thailand. As a result, we are dependent on this manufacturer for the manufacturing of our products, and any disruption in such manufacturing or the export of products from this manufacturer to the United States, or the cost of such manufacturing and export, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks affecting the businesses and operations of our manufacturer in Thailand and the cost to us of the products sourced from this manufacturer include: political and regional strife; war; labor shortages; severe weather and natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, and floods, whether as a result of climate change or otherwise; lengthy power outages; increased pricing, financial instability and capacity constraints of shippers; and concerns with or threats of public health crises, contagious diseases or health epidemics. We are also exposed to risks relating to the government imposition of tariffs, which may have an impact on the cost or availability of products or components that we purchase. Trade policy between the United States and Thailand, and more broadly, remains subject to ongoing legislative, executive, judicial and international developments. Changes in tariff rates, the implementation of new trade restrictions, the elimination of existing measures, or retaliatory actions by foreign governments could increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products, or disrupt our supply chain. Because the scope, timing and duration of any such measures are uncertain, we cannot predict their ultimate impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Tariffs have impacted, and we expect that tariffs will continue to impact, certain goods that are assembled and imported from our contract manufacturer in Thailand. Potential future changes in tariffs and trade policies by the United States on imports from Thailand (or other countries, such as China), retaliatory trade measures in response, or judicial developments affecting existing tariffs have resulted in cost increases and may in the future result in additional costs and pricing pressures, supply chain disruptions, volatile or unpredictable customer spending patterns and increased economic or geopolitical risk that we may not be able to offset or otherwise mitigate, any or all of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If the contract manufacturer is unable to manufacture our products or continue operating its facilities, as occurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, or if cost increases (as a result of tariffs or otherwise) make continued reliance on the contract manufacturer impractical, we will have limited means for the final assembly of a majority of our products until we are able to secure the manufacturing capability at another facility, develop an alternative manufacturing facility or qualify and begin sourcing from an alternative contract manufacturer, which could be costly and time consuming and have a material adverse effect on our operating and financial results.
We may also incur increased business continuity and reputational risks to the extent that we continue to outsource the manufacturing and assembly of our products to foreign third-party service providers. For example, outsourcing of manufacturing prevents us from exercising control over the assembly of certain of our products and related operations or processes, including the internal controls associated with operations and processes conducted and the quality of our products assembled by contract manufacturers. If we are unable to effectively manage and oversee our outsourcing strategy, we may not realize cost structure efficiencies and our operating and financial results could be materially adversely affected. Outsourcing also exposes us to increased risk of infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property, to which our manufacturers have access. Because our manufacturer is located in Asia, there is no guarantee that our intellectual property rights will be protected or enforced to the same extent as under U.S. federal and state laws. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from developing or selling products made using our technologies.
Risks Associated with Determining and Pursuing Strategic Initiatives and Business Growth
Our success may depend in part on our ability to identify and pursue the best long-term strategy for our business.
The Company engaged an advisor, Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), in the fourth quarter of 2023 to assist in determining the best long-term strategy for its business and ensure the Company is maximizing the
value of its operations for all shareholders and stakeholders. The Company continues to actively assess strategic alternatives with the assistance of Roth while continuing to pursue its business growth and development initiatives on a parallel
track. The Company has engaged with a number of outside parties and is in various stages of discussion with such outside parties. The Company is committed to pursuing an optimal outcome for all its stakeholders and maximizing shareholder value.
No timetable has been established for our review of the best long-term strategy for our business, and we do not intend to disclose developments or provide updates on the progress or status of our ongoing review
until our Board of Directors deems such disclosure is appropriate or required. During the course of this review, perceived uncertainties related to our future may result in the loss of potential business opportunities and volatility in our stock
price and may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners.
Acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic alternatives involve a number of risks, including: (i) the potential disruption of our ongoing business; (ii) the distraction of management away from the ongoing
oversight of our existing business activities; (iii) if we determined to pursue a disposition strategy, we may not be able to identify, pursue and close a transaction that provides adequate value to the Company and its stockholders; (iv) the
potential departure of key personnel during the negotiation or pendency of a transaction; (v) the loss or reduction of control over certain of our assets; (vi) the anticipated benefits and cost savings of those transactions not being realized
fully, or at all, or taking longer to realize than anticipated; (vii) an increase in the scope and complexity of our operations or the management of our business subsequent to a transaction; (viii) incurring additional indebtedness or the
potential sale of additional shares of our common stock in public or private offerings to finance acquisitions or transactions, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders or cause the price of our common stock to decline; and (ix) the
depletion of cash to pay for an acquisition.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement a growth strategy, or that we can successfully manage expanded operations, if they occur. If we expand, we may from time-to-time experience
constraints that will adversely affect our ability to satisfy customer demand in a timely fashion. Failure to manage growth effectively could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Further, there can be no assurance that we will find suitable opportunities for strategic transactions at acceptable prices or on acceptable terms, successfully negotiate required agreements, obtain sufficient
financing on acceptable terms or at all if necessary, successfully close transactions after signing such agreements, or that any resulting transaction will have a positive effect on stockholder value. A strategic transaction may result in a
significant change in the nature of our business, operations and strategy, and we may encounter unforeseen obstacles or costs in implementing a strategic transaction.
Our food service technologyFST business depends substantially on our customers renewing their subscriptions with the Company. Any decline
in our customer renewals could harm our
food service technologyFST business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our subscription offerings are term-based, and in order for us to maintain or improve our results of operations, it is important that our customers renew
their subscriptions with us when the existing subscription
term expires and renew on the same terms or terms more favorable to the Company. Our customers have no obligation to renew their applications and subscriptions, and they may not renew one or
more of their applications as they are purchased
separately and individually. We also may not be able to accurately predict customer renewal rates. Customers may elect not to renew their subscriptions with us for a variety of reasons, including as a
result of changes in their strategic
priorities, budgets and costs and, in some instances, due to competing solutions. Our retention rate may also decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of other factors, including our customers’ satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with our
solutions, the increase in the contract value of subscription and support contracts from new customers, the effectiveness of our customer support services, our pricing, the prices of competing products or services, global
economic conditions and
the other risk factors described herein. As a result, there can be no assurance that our food service technologyFST customers will renew any or all of their individually purchased application subscriptions. If our customers do not renew their
subscriptions or renew on less favorable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Subscription services revenue accounts for a growing portion of our food service technologyFST revenue. Sales of new or renewal subscription contracts may decline or fluctuate as
a result of a number of factors,
including customers’ level of satisfaction with our solutions, the prices of our subscriptions, the prices and features of products or subscriptions offered by our competitors, reductions in our customers’ spending
levels, or other changes in
consumer behavior. If our sales of new or renewal subscription contracts decline, our revenue and revenue growth may decline. We recognize subscription revenue ratably over the term of the relevant subscription period,
which is generally 12
months in duration. As a result, much of the subscription revenue we report each quarter is derived from subscription contracts that we sold in prior quarters.
Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscription contracts in any one quarter will not be fully reflected in revenue in that quarter but will
negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. Accordingly, the
effect of a significant downturnsdownturn in new or renewal sales of our subscriptions is not reflected in full in our results of operations in a given period. Also, it is difficult for us to
rapidly increase our subscription revenue through additional
sales in any period, as revenue from new and renewal subscription contracts must be recognized ratably over the applicable subscription period. Furthermore, any increases in the average
term of subscription contracts would result in revenue for
those subscription contracts being recognized over longer periods of time.
We use recurring revenue and ARPU as performance indicators in connection with our food service technologyFST market, and we include consumable label sales, in addition to
subscription software, extended warranty and
service contracts, in our calculation of these metrics. Consumable labels are not sold on a subscription basis or subject to any minimum purchase requirements. In addition, our label sales typically
fluctuate and are dependent upon the current
demand from food service and restaurant customers, which may be affected by factors such as general economic downturns and seasonality. As a result, our use and definitions of recurring revenue and ARPU
may not be comparable with, and may be
subject to, increased fluctuation relative to those of other SaaS-based companies that do not include non-subscription components such as label sales in their definitions of recurring revenue or ARPU.
Lead times for materials and components that we order vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, the size of the order,
contract terms, and demand for each component at a given time, as
well as supply shortages with respect to raw materials needed to produce the components. If we underestimate our requirements, or if we are unable to obtain components on time due to
supply shortages, as occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic and
resulting global supply chain disruptions,disruptions in 2022 and 2023, we may have inadequate manufacturing capacity or
inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of our products and interfere with our ability to timely deliver products to our customers and adversely
impact our sales. Alternatively, if we overestimate our requirements, we could have excess
inventory of parts and finished products. Some of the actions we have takentook to meet customer demand in the face of recentthe supply chain disruptions have
in 2022 and 2023 raised our costs and decreased margins on our products, and any such actions that we take in
the future could have a similar effect. Any future underestimate or overestimate of supply requirements, and any actions we may take in the future to
navigate supply chain disruptions, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.
Our future success may depend in significant part upon the continued service of certain key management and other personnel. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to recruit and retain such personnel. The
loss of either John M. Dillon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, or Steven A. DeMartino, the Company’s President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, or the loss of certain
groups of key employees, such as our orsales, sales,
operations and engineering teams, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our customers rely on us and our third-party service providers for support of our software and services included in our food service technologyFST subscription packages.
High-quality support is important for the
renewal and expansion of our agreements with existing customers. The importance of high-quality support will increase as we expand our business and pursue new customers. If we or our third partythird-party service
providers do not help our customers quickly
resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, our ability to sell new food service technologyFST products to existing and new customers could suffer and our reputation and relationships with existing or potential
customers could be harmed.
We experience elements of seasonal fluctuations in the food service technologyFST and POS markets which could cause our stock price to
fluctuate.
Our food service technologyFST business is highly dependent on the behavior patterns of our customers and their guests. Restaurants typically reduce purchases of equipment in the
fourth calendar quarter due to the
increased volume of transactions during the holiday period, which may negatively impact sales of our food service technologyFST products or POS printers during that period. As a result, seasonality may cause fluctuations in our financial
results, results,
and other trends that develop may similarly impact our results of operations.
We face significant competition in developing and selling our printers, terminals, software, labels and services. Our principal competitors have substantial marketing, financial, development and personnel resources. To remain competitive, we believe we must continue to provide:
We cannot ensure we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. Increased competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profit margins and loss of market share, and could require increased spending on research and development, sales and marketing and customer support. For example, during 2025 we experienced increased competitive pressure in the POS automation market, which has led to price reductions on our POS automation printer and reduced sales in this market. In addition, some competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships with suppliers or companies that produce complementary products. Any of these factors could reduce our earnings.
Our FST market operates in an emerging and evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of this market.
We launched our BOHA! line of products in 2019 and have grown our FST offerings significantly since then. This is a continually evolving market as technology develops to automate back-of-house tasks that were historically performed manually. This evolving nature of the FST market may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects in this market and the risks and challenges we may encounter. These risks and challenges include, but are not limited to, our ability to:
Our success depends upon our, and our development partners’, ability to timely adapt our capabilities and processes to meet the demands of producing new and innovative products. Because our newer products contain
software and generally are more technologically sophisticated than those we have produced in the past, we must continually refine our capabilities to meet the needs of our product innovation. In addition, the food service technology industry
continues to experience technological developments and innovations (such as the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning), and if we are unable to provide enhancements, new features and integrations for our existing platform (due to a
lack of investment or otherwise), or if we are unable to efficiently adapt our infrastructure to meet the needs of our product innovations in a timely manner, our business could be negatively impacted.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure for our business. We collect, store, and transmit sensitive information
including intellectual property, proprietary business
information and personal information of employees and, to a lesser extent, customers in connection with business operations. Further, our BOHA! Applicationsapplications arecurrently rely on a third-party cloud
service provider and will continue to be hosted withinby existing third-party cloud platformsservice thatproviders arefollowing managedthe bytransition thirdof parties.the BOHA! source code to TransAct. The
secure secure
maintenance of the information stored on our systems and such third-party systems is critical to our operations and business strategy. Any system outages, and any interruptions or other disruptions to our software applications, including as a
result of unexpected errors or mistakes in connection with over-the-air updates, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In addition, some of the information that we and third-party service providers collect, store and transmit could be an attractive target of criminal attack
by third parties with a wide range of motives and
expertise, including organized criminal groups, disgruntled current or former employees, and others. Cyber-attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication, and despite our extensive security
measures, our information technology and
infrastructure may be vulnerable to such attacks or may be breached, including due to employee error or malfeasance. We have experienced such breaches in the past, but they have not had a material effect on
our business, financial condition or
results of operations. Any such breach that occurs in the future could compromise our networks or the networks of third-party service providers, and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly
disclosed, lost or stolen, and our
business operations may be interrupted. If our systems become compromised, we may not promptly discover the intrusion. In addition, the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to networks, or to sabotage IT
systems, change and evolve
frequently, including through the use of artificial intelligence and quantum computingcomputing, and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. We may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement
adequate preventative
measures. Like other companies in our industry, we have experienced attacks to our data and systems, including malware and computer viruses
that we have been able to detect and eliminateeliminate, and incidents
resulting in immaterial disruptions to our business that were remediated. . If our systems fail or are breached or disrupted by future attacks, we could lose product sales,sales and suffer other
adverse consequences, such as reputational damagedamage, litigation, remediation costs, ransomware payments, and loss of customer confidence.confidence and the confidence of our vendors and suppliers. Such
incidents could require notification to affected individuals
and may result in legal claims or proceedings and liability under federal and state laws that protect the privacy and security of personal information. If third parties use a
cyber-attack to gain access to our proprietary information, they may sell
it or use it to duplicate our products, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Any one of these events could cause our business to be materially harmed and our
results of operations to be adversely impacted, and there can be no assurance
that the insurance that we maintain to address certain aspects of cybersecurity risks will be sufficient to cover all losses or all types of claims that may arise.
Our intellectual property is valuable and provides us with certain competitive advantages. Copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets,
technology licensing agreements, nondisclosure agreements
and contracts are used to protect these proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for third parties to copy aspects of our products or, without authorization, to obtain
and use information that we regard as trade secrets.
Our pending patents may be denied, and our patents may be circumvented by our competitors. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the
laws of the United States. There can be no
assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad will be adequate or that competing companies will not independently develop similar technologies. Our failure to
adequately protect our proprietary
rights could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position and our business.
We may face difficulty keeping up with
market developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and any such developments may be subject to rapidly evolving and extensive regulationregulation.
In addition, laws and regulations regarding artificial intelligence and machine learning are evolving rapidly. The technologiesTechnology underlying artificial
intelligence and machine learning, and the use of such
technologies, are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, data privacy and cybersecurity, consumer protection and competition laws, and are expected to be
subject to increased regulation and new laws or new
applications of existing laws and regulations, which may vary by jurisdiction. Further, because these technologies are highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all of the
legal, operational or technological risks that
may arise relating to the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
We rely on an unrelated third party to develop, maintain and host certain portions of our food service technology software, and any disruption in the relationship with that
third party, or any defects in the software provided by that third party, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely upon third party developed software and hosting services combined with our own proprietary hardware and software to offer our unique BOHA! branded solution to support back-of-house operations in the food
service industry. Certain web-based food service application software and selected components of our downloadable software applications are licensed from a third-party developer on a non-exclusive basis through 2031 and are subject to a revenue
sharing arrangement with the developer. We are reliant upon the third-party developer to further develop and maintain its developed software, and the developer controls the software source code. Therefore, presently, we are highly dependent on
this third-party developer for continued service to our customers and the further development of our food service technology software products. If the software provider were to terminate operations or otherwise be unavailable to provide
maintenance, hosting and development services to us and our customers, the availability or usage of our software products could be disrupted and our customers could be adversely affected. In any such case, we may need to seek comparable software
and services from other third parties or develop it internally, which could require significant time and expense. There can be no assurance that such software or services would be available from other sources, or that if available, they would be
of comparable quality and cost. Moreover, any efforts to develop new software, whether internal or by third parties, would require significant lead time, and there could be an interruption in service during any period in which the software
provider ceases to provide products and services and new products remain under development. Any such occurrence could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any errors or defects in, or failures of, third party software or applications could result in errors or defects in or failures of our food service technology products and services, which could be costly to correct
and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are currently dependent upon a manufacturer located in Thailand for the manufacturing and assembly of substantially all of our printers and terminals, and any further or
future disruption in the businesses or operations of this manufacturer, political, social or economic instability, war, trade restrictions or tariffs, severe weather, changes in climate, additional public health crises and other events out of our
control could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In an effort to maximize cost savings and operational benefits, we have outsourced substantially all of the manufacturing and assembly of our printers and terminals to a contract manufacturer located in Thailand.
As a result, we are dependent on them for the manufacturing of our products, and any disruption in such manufacturing or the export of products from this manufacturer to the U.S. may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Risks affecting the businesses and operations of our manufacturer in Thailand include: political and regional strife; war; labor shortages; severe weather and natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes,
fires, and floods, whether as a result of climate change or otherwise; lengthy power outages; increased pricing, financial instability and capacity constraints of shippers; government imposition of tariffs which may impact the cost or
availability of products or components that we purchase; and concerns with or threats of public health crises, contagious diseases or health epidemics. Tthe risk to our business posed by any disruption in manufacturing is exacerbated by the
concentration of substantially all of our manufacturing operations in one manufacturer located in Thailand.
If the contract manufacturer is unable to manufacture our products or continue operating its facilities, as occurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, or if cost increases (as a result of tariffs or
otherwise) make continued reliance on the contract manufacturer impractical, we will have limited means for the final assembly of a majority of our products until we are able to secure the manufacturing capability at another facility or develop
an alternative manufacturing facility, which could be costly and time consuming and have a material adverse effect on our operating and financial results.
We may also incur increased business continuity and reputational risks to the extent that we continue to outsource the manufacturing and assembly of our products to foreign third party service providers. For
example, outsourcing of manufacturing prevents us from exercising control over the assembly of certain of our products and related operations or processes, including the internal controls associated with operations and processes conducted and the
quality of our products assembled by contract manufacturers. If we are unable to effectively manage and oversee our outsourcing strategy, we may not realize cost structure efficiencies and our operating and financial results could be materially
adversely affected. Outsourcing also exposes us to increased risk of infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property, to which our manufacturers have access. Because our manufacturer is located in Asia, there is no guarantee that
our intellectual property rights will be protected or enforced to the same extent as under U.S. federal and state laws. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from developing or selling products made using our technologies.
We currently rely on third party service providers to host our food service technology software and deliver certain services, and any interruptions or delays in services from
these third parties could impair the delivery of our products and services, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We rely on a third-party service provider to host our food service technology software. Third parties also provide services to key aspects of our operations, including Internet connections and networking, data
storage and processing, trust and safety and security infrastructure. We do not control the operation, physical security, or data security of any of these third-party providers. Our efforts to use commercially reasonable diligence in the
selection and retention of such third-party providers may be insufficient or inadequate to prevent or remediate such operational and security risks. Our third-party providers may be subject to intrusions, computer viruses, denial-of-service
attacks, sabotage, acts of vandalism, acts of terrorism or other misconduct. They are vulnerable to damage or interruption from power loss, telecommunications failures, fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and similar events, and
they may be subject to financial, legal, regulatory, and labor issues, each of which may impose additional costs or requirements on us or prevent these third parties from providing services to us or our customers on our behalf. From time to time,
our software maintained by these third parties has experienced brief interruptions in service which we have been able to resolve promptly by working with the third-party providers, and there may be future such interruptions that could have a
material adverse effect on our customer relationships or be more costly or time-consuming to resolve. In addition, these third parties may breach their agreements with us, disagree with our interpretation of contract terms or applicable laws and
regulations, refuse to continue or renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms or at all, fail to or refuse to process transactions or provide other services adequately, take actions that degrade the functionality of our platform and
services, increase prices, impose additional costs or requirements on us or our customers, or give preferential treatment to our competitors. If we are unable to procure alternatives in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at
all, we may be subject to business disruptions, losses, or costs to remediate any of these deficiencies. The occurrence of any of the above events could result in reputational damage, legal or regulatory proceedings, loss of customers or other
adverse consequences, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We face significant competition in developing and selling our printers, terminals, software, consumables and services. Our principal competitors have substantial marketing, financial, development and personnel
resources. To remain competitive, we believe we must continue to provide:
We cannot ensure we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. Increased competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profit margins and loss of market share, and could
require increased spending on research and development, sales and marketing and customer support. For example, we believe our largest competitor in the casino and gaming market has resumed supplying product at full capacity which has resulted in
a more competitive environment in the casino and gaming market going forward and may cause future downward pricing pressure and a loss of market share that we had gained while the competitor was unable to supply product. Any such occurrence
could negatively impact our worldwide casino and gaming sales. In addition, some competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships with suppliers or companies that produce complementary products, which may
include relationships with our software developer. Any of these factors could reduce our earnings.
Our food service technology market operates in an emerging and evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of this market.
We launched our BOHA! offering in 2019 and have grown our food service technology significantly since then. This is still an emerging market that is continually evolving as technology develops to automate
back-of-house tasks that were historically performed manually. This evolving nature of the food service technology market may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects in this market and the risks and challenges we may encounter. These
risks and challenges include, but are not limited to, our ability to:

This additional cost primarily relates to an agreement which was made between the U.S. Government and Thailand to establish a U.S. tariff of 19% on goods imported from Thailand, effective August 7, 2025. The Company is closely monitoring developments relating to tariffs and the evolving international trade environment, including the implications of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
“These tariffs have impacted, and if continued, reinstated or increased, may continue to impact, certain goods that are assembled and imported into the United States from our manufacturer in Thailand. The majority of raw components used in the manufacturing and assembly of our printers and terminals are sourced locally in Thailand, and to a lesser extent, from other countries in the region, including China. As a result, we currently have a limited ability to mitigate the expected impact of tariffs on goods sold into the United States through alternative sourcing or manufacturing. …”see in full comparison

On August 6, 2025, the Company announced that it acquired a perpetual license to a copy of the source code for the BOHA! software that it licenses from Avery Dennison. Under the terms of the agreement, TransAct has obtained a perpetual and royalty free license to use, host, market, sublicense, distribute, copy, and modify the code as the Company sees fit for its business purposes. In addition to the perpetual and royalty free license, TransAct will also host the code in its own environment, which is expected to go live in mid-2026. The Company has taken delivery of the source code and the related hosting environment and has begun internal review and development activities related to the underlying code. Total consideration for the acquisition was $2.55 million, plus professional services fees of approximately $1.0 million for transition services to be provided by Avery Dennison, of which $1.5 million has been paid to date based on contractual milestone completion and transition services received. For information regarding the risks related to the BOHA! source code acquisition, please see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors under the sub-caption “We may not realize the expected benefits of our acquisition of a perpetual license to the BOHA! source code within the anticipated time frame or at all” and the sub-caption “Until the in-housing of the BOHA! source code is complete, we continue to rely on third party service providers to host our FST software and deliver certain services, and any interruptions or delays in services from these third parties could impair the delivery of our products and services, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.”
The Company’s previously announced strategic review process remains active. Management and the Company’s Board of Directors are focused on the process. The Company is
determined to consider any and all options that increase and/or deliver stockholder value. The Company will provide further updates on this process when it determines that additional disclosure is appropriate or required. For information
regarding the risks related to the strategic review process, please see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors under the sub-caption “Our success may depend in part on our ability to identify and pursue the best long-term strategy for our businesses.”
After strong demand during most of 2023 due in part to our primary competitor’s struggle to deliver products in the face of supply chain constraints, in late 2023, we began to see indications of a temporary slowdown in demand in the casino and gaming market, as customers that had built up excess inventory due to supply chain concerns advised us that they would temporarily reduce orders until their stock normalized. This slowdown impacted our results in the fourth quarter of 2023 and during the year ended December 31, 2024. By September 30, 2025, we believe that all significant domestic customers had been able to sell through their on-hand inventory and had resumed ordering, contributing to more normalized casino and gaming sales for the first nine months of 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2025, some domestic casino and gaming customers indicated slowing demand, and one large customer indicated they were in an overstock position while awaiting jurisdictional approvals on new machines. We believe this more recent softness reflects a combination of customer-specific ordering dynamics and broader macroeconomic conditions affecting the casino and gaming industry. While these conditions impacted our casino and gaming sales in the fourth quarter of 2025, we expect demand to improve as customer inventory levels continue to normalize and installations proceed, although the timing and extent of any improvement will depend on prevailing economic and industry conditions in the casino and gaming market as we move through 2026.
We are currently dependent upon a manufacturer located in Thailand for the manufacturing and assembly of substantially all of our printers and terminals. During 2025, the U.S. government announced and implemented various trade-related actions, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from several countries, including Thailand. A recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated certain previously imposed U.S. tariffs and has resulted in increased uncertainty regarding the scope, durability and implementation of U.S. trade policy, including the potential for new, modified or reinstated tariffs through legislative or executive action.
These tariffs have impacted, and if continued, reinstated or increased, may continue to impact, certain goods that are assembled and imported into the United States from our manufacturer in Thailand. The majority of raw components used in the manufacturing and assembly of our printers and terminals are sourced locally in Thailand, and to a lesser extent, from other countries in the region, including China. As a result, we currently have a limited ability to mitigate the expected impact of tariffs on goods sold into the United States through alternative sourcing or manufacturing. We have mitigated these tariffs by raising prices to customers, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to pass on all tariff costs to customers via price increases.
While tariffs did not materially impact our net income for fiscal 2025, we expect that any continuing or reinstated tariffs on goods imported from Thailand would impact our financial results going forward if implemented. There can be no assurance that future price increases and other mitigation efforts will be successful in offsetting future tariffs. In addition, it is uncertain whether other countries will continue to seek further negotiations or retaliate as future developments occur, whether the U.S. government will reconsider or adjust tariffs based upon continued future negotiations, or grant further exemptions, and what types of products will be eligible for such exemptions, if granted, or what actions the executive or legislative branch may take to impose new, modified or reinstated tariffs following the recent Supreme Court decision. The Company continues to monitor the rapidly evolving and uncertain tariff and global trade environment and the potential impacts to its Consolidated Financial Statements.
The continued effects of any global tariffs may potentially increase the likelihood of a recession, create a significant reduction in consumer confidence and customer demand, increase inflation or impact credit markets and interest rates. Any of these resulting effects could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
After strong demand during most of 2023 due in part to our primary competitor’s struggle to deliver products in the face of supply chain constraints, in late 2023, we began to see indications of a
temporary slowdown in demand in the casino and gaming market, as customers that had built up excess inventory due to supply chain concerns advised us that they would temporarily reduce orders until their stock normalized. This slowdown impacted
our results in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first nine months of 2024. We currently believe all major customers, with the exception of one large international casino and gaming customer, were able to sell through their on-hand inventory and
resumed ordering. Though we expect our overall casino and gaming sales to improve in 2025 compared to 2024, we expect such sales to be somewhat impacted in 2025 until this customer has sold through its inventory on hand. Further, our primary
competitor in the casino and gaming market has resumed supplying product at what we believe is their full capacity. The return of this competitor has resulted in some downward pricing pressure in certain geographies of that market which may
continue and may negatively impact our worldwide casino and gaming sales. In addition, during 2022 and 2023, we experienced cost increases as a result of supply chain constraints, most of which we have been able to offset by increasing prices of
our products. However, pricing pressure has subsequently caused us to lower prices again and there can be no guarantee that we will be able to increase prices sufficiently to offset any future similar cost increases, which generally cannot be
predicted, and we may be further impacted by supply chain disruptions, inflation and other global economic conditions that may affect the markets we serve and from which we source our supplies and parts.
In February and March 2025, the U.S. presidential administration began implementing certain orders imposing new tariffs on foreign imports impacting multiple commodities and industries and multiple
countries, including Canada and Mexico. In addition, the Canadian and Mexican governments have indicated they may retaliate with tariffs on U.S. goods. While at this time we do not expect any potential tariffs imposed by Canada and Mexico to have
a material impact on our business, we are currently monitoring the ongoing trade dispute among the United States, Canada and Mexico and any future potential impact of these tariffs, and any additional tariffs that may be imposed or retaliatory
actions that may be taken, and their impact to our business and financial condition.
Revenue Recognition – Our net sales are derived from the sale of products and services and are adjusted for estimated
returns and allowances, which historically have been insignificant. The application
of GAAP to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates. Specifically, the determination of whether revenues
related to our revenue contracts should be recognized over time or at a point in time. We recognize revenue when the obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; generally, this
occurs with the transfer of control of our printers,
terminals, consumableslabels and replacement parts. For our warranty, software applications and maintenance agreements, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract period. Other
significant judgments include contracts that contain
multiple performance obligations (most commonly when contracts include a hardware product, software, financing and extended warranties) which require a contract’s transaction price to be
allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized
as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For arrangements containing multiple performance obligations, the revenue relating
to the undelivered
performance obligation is deferred using the relative standalone selling price method utilizing estimated sales prices until satisfaction of the deferred performance obligation. Both of these determinations impact
the timing and amount of
our reported revenues and net income and loss.
Income Taxes – We account for
income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements, we
are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Among other things, this provision
prescribes a minimum recognition threshold that an income tax position must meet before it is recorded in the reporting
entity’s financial statements. It also requires that the effects of such income tax positions be recognized only if, as of the
balance sheet reporting date, it is “more likely than not” (i.e., more than a 50% likelihood) that the income tax
position will be sustained based solely on its technical merits. When making this assessment, management must assume that the responsible
taxing authority will examine the income tax position and have full knowledge of all relevant facts and
other pertinent information. The accounting guidance also clarifies the method offor accruing for interest and penalties when there is a difference
between the amount claimed, or expected to be claimed, on a company’s income tax returns and the
benefits recognized in the financial statements. This involves estimating the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences
between the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements, as well as net operating losses, tax credits and other carryforwards. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities,
which are reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We then assess the likelihood
that the deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income.
Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that a tax benefit will not be realized.
In evaluating the need for a valuation
allowance, management considers all potential sources of taxable income, including income available in carryback periods, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, projections of taxable income, and
income from tax planning strategies,
as well as all available positive and negative evidence. Positive evidence includes factors such as a history of profitable operations and, projections of future profitability within the carryforward period,
including any potential tax planning
strategies. Negative evidence includes items such as cumulative losses and projections of future losses. Upon changes in facts and circumstances, management may conclude that deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance is currently
recorded may not be realized, resulting in a charge to establish a valuation allowance. Existing valuation allowances are re-examined under the same standards of positive and negative evidence. If
it is determined that it is more likely than not
that a deferred tax asset will be realized, the appropriate amount of the valuation allowance, if any, is released. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are also re-measured to reflect changes in
underlying tax rates due to law changes and the
granting and lapse of tax holidays.
In 2024, TransAct recognized a $7.3 million discrete income tax charge for a valuation allowance on the full value of the net deferred tax assets in the
United States. The company’s deferred tax assets generated by net operating losses have an unlimited life and R&D credit carryforwards have a twenty-year life. After weighing all available
positive and negative evidence, as described above,
management determined that it was no longer more likely than not that TransAct will realize the tax benefit of these deferred tax assets. This was mainly driven by a cumulative taxable loss over
the previousthree threepreceding fiscal years (2022 through 2024) ,
combined with a near term outlook of future taxable losses.losses (a taxable loss was generated in 2025 as well). The need for this valuation allowance will be assessed on a quarterly basis in future periods and, as a result, a portion, or all of the
the allowance, may be reversed based on changes in facts and circumstances.

Food service technology (“FST”).FST. Our primary offering in the food service technologyFST market is our line of BOHA! products,products. theThe BOHA! product suite combines our latest
generation terminal or workstation, which includeincludes one or two printers, with our BOHA! labeling,
timers, and media software. In addition, customers may individually purchase cloud-based software applications that connect to an application on a
separate mobile device into a solution to automate back-of-house operations in restaurants, convenience
stores and food service operations. The additional software offering of BOHA! consists of a variety of individually purchased
software-as-a-service (“SaaS”)-based based applications for both Android and iOS operating systems, including applications for
temperature monitoring, temperature takingtaking, and checklistschecklists, and task lists. These applications are sold separately, and
customers purchase the applications they need for their back-of-house operations. Customers may also purchase associated hardware, such
as tablets, temperature sensorssensors, and gateways. The BOHA! TerminalTerminal, and the more recently launched Terminal 2
2, combine an operating system and hardware components in a
single touchscreen device with one or two thermal print mechanisms that print easy-to-read food rotation labels, grab-and-go labels, andnutritional nutritional
labels for prepared foods, and “enjoy by” date labels. The BOHA! WorkStation uses an iPad or Android tablet
instead of an integrated touchscreen. The BOHA! Terminal, Terminal 22, and WorkStation are equipped with the TransAct Enterprise Management
System to ensure that only approved touchscreen functions are available on the device and to allow over-the-air
updates to the operating system. BOHA! helps food service establishments and restaurants (including fine dining, casual dining, fast
casual and quick-service restaurants, convenience stores, hospitality establishmentsestablishments, and contract food service
providers) effectively manage food safety and grab-and-go initiatives, as well as automate and manage back-of-house operations.
Recurring revenue from BOHA! is generated by software sales, including software subscriptions that are typically charged to
customers annually on a per-application basis, as well as sales of labels, extended warranty andwarranty, service contracts, and
technical support services. Sales of our worldwide food service technologyFST products for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 were as follows:
Sales in our FST market increased $3.2 million, or 20%, in 2025 compared to 2024 driven primarily by a 33% increase in sales of BOHA! hardware, which was primarily driven by sales of our new BOHA! Terminal 2 which replaced our BOHA! Terminal 1. Hardware sales were also impacted by a 43% decline (albeit from a small base) of our AccuDate 9700 terminals which we discontinued at the end of 2023 and a 25% increase in sales of our BOHA! Workstations.
Sales in food service technology decreased 1% in 2024 compared to 2023 driven by a 3% decrease in sales of BOHA! software, labels and other recurring revenue, partially offset by a 3% increase in hardware sales.
Despite the loss of a significant customer (as further explained below) FST software, labels and recurring revenue experienced only a slight decline of 3% due to the growth of the installed base of BOHA! Terminal 2. Hardware sales increased
largely due to increased sales of our BOHA! Terminal 2. Hardware sales were also impacted by a 94% decrease in sales of our AccuDate 9700 terminals which we discontinued at the end of 2023 and 77% lower sales of our legacy BOHA! Terminal
(including those of the lost customer explained further below). These decreases were more than offset by strong sales of our BOHA! Terminal 2 (that replaced the original BOHA! Terminal) to a large international QSR customer as well as increased
sales of Workstations.
During the second quarter of 2024, a significant customer notified us that it would be terminating service, including its BOHA! software subscriptions and
label sales, for its existing installed base of BOHA!
Terminals by the middle of July 2024. Total sales to this customer (including hardware, software, labels and other recurring revenue) were approximately $4.0 million in 2023 and $0.9 million in 2024. We did not have any hardware sales, and
minimal label and software sales, to this customer in the third and fourth quarters of 2024, but we expect to continue to servicehad a smallde percentageminimis
amount of ongoing units and may have some additional sales to this customer in 2025. Despite the future.loss of this customer, software, labels and other recurring revenue increased $1.5 million, or 14%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to higher label sales to a new sushi customer
(approximately $0.8 million) and one existing convenience store customer (up approximately $0.5 million).
We expect FST revenue to be higher in 20252026 than in 20242025 as we continue to focus on growing our installed base of terminals and the related recurring revenue
(primarily the sale of labels and subscription software
revenue from our labeling software application).revenue.
Sales of POS automation printers decreased $1.1 million, or 34%, in 2025 compared to 2024. We continue to experience competitive pressure that has resulted in a lower level of sales as well as a reduction in our average selling prices.
We expect 2026 POS automation sales to be relatively consistent with 2025 levels.
The decrease in POS automation revenue in 2024 compared to 2023 was driven by a 51% decrease in domestic sales largely due to unusually high sales during 2023, as we increased production and began to fulfill our
large backlog of sales orders following supply chain slowdowns in 2022. During 2024, we experienced renewed competitive pressure that has resulted in a return to a more normalized level of sales as well as a reduction in our average selling
prices We expect POS automation sales to be lower in 2025 compared to 2024 as we expect to continue to face competitive pressure in this market.
Casino and gaming. Revenue from theour casino and gaming
market includes sales of thermal printers used in slot machines, video lottery terminals, and other gaming machines
that print tickets or receipts instead of issuing coins at casinos, racetracksracetracks, charitable gaming establishments, and other gaming
venues worldwide. Revenue from this market also includes sales of thermal roll-fed printers used in the international off-premise gaming market. This gaming market in
includes gaming machines such as Amusement with Prizes, Skills with PrizesPrizes, and Fixed
Odds Betting Terminals and kiosks for sports betting at non-casino gaming and sports betting establishments. Revenue from this market also includes royalties related to
our patented casino and gaming technology. In addition, casino and gaming market revenue includes sales of the EPICENTRAL print system, our software solution (including annual software
maintenance), that enables casino operators to create
promotional coupons and marketing messages andfor to print themprinting in real time at the slot machine.machines. Sales of our worldwide casino and gaming products for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 were as
follows:
Domestic sales of our casino and gaming products in 2025 increased by $7.1 million, or 56%, compared to 2024. Sales in 2024 were negatively impacted as many of our customers had accumulated higher-than-normal levels of inventory of our product as a hedge during the worldwide supply chain crisis during 2022 and 2023. As a result, during 2024, we experienced a significant slowdown in their order and shipment rates as they worked through this excess inventory. Sales increased in 2025 compared to 2024 as most of our major domestic casino and gaming customers had worked through their on-hand inventory by the first quarter of 2025 and were ordering at normalized levels in the second and third quarters of 2025. In addition, sales in 2025 benefitted from sales of our casino printer to a new OEM customer for the use in charitable gaming establishments. However, we believe this customer is now in an overstock position awaiting jurisdictional approvals to install new gaming machines. As a result, we expect a more moderate pace of sales to this new customer in 2026. Though we experienced slowing demand from our domestic OEM customers during the fourth quarter of 2025, we expect to demand to resume more normalized levels in 2026. As a result of these factors, we expect our domestic casino and gaming sales to be slightly lower in 2026 compared to 2025.
Our international casino and gaming sales were down $0.5 million or 7% in 2025 compared to 2024. This decrease is largely due to a significant European OEM still working down an overstock of their on-hand inventory. Despite this, we expect international sales in 2026 to be higher than in 2025 due to anticipated strengthening demand as well as additional contributions from our roll-fed gaming printer that we believe will begin to gain traction in the international markets.
The 56% decrease in domestic sales of our casino and gaming products during 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to a 50% decrease in sales unit volume. Sales during 2023 were unusually high due to our largest
competitor’s inability to supply product to customers as a result of supply chain issues. In addition, entering 2024, many of our customers had accumulated higher-than-normal levels of inventory of our product as a hedge during the worldwide
supply chain crisis during 2022 and 2023. As a result, during 2024, we experienced a significant slowdown in their order and shipment rates as they worked through this excess inventory. In addition, we believe our sales in the second half of
2024 were impacted by softness in overall demand in the industry.
International sales of our casino and gaming products decreased 37% during 2024 compared to 2023. Similar to our domestic customers, our international customers also began to slow their order rates in late 2023
and continuing through 2024 due to higher-than-normal inventory levels and in response to softness in overall demand in the industry.
As of the end of 2024, we believe all our major casino and gaming customers have worked through the majority of their on-hand inventory and have begun to order again, with the exception of one large international
customer. In addition, we expect the demand softness we experienced in the worldwide casino and gaming market in late 2024 to begin to improve in 2025. As a result, we expect our casino and gaming sales to be higher in 2025 compared to 2024.
TSG: Revenue generated by TSG includes sales of
consumable products (POS receipt paper and ribbons for non-FST legacy products), replacement parts and accessories,
maintenance and repair servicesservices, and shipping and handling charges. Sales in our worldwide TSG market for the years ended December 31, 2024
2025 and 20232024 were as follows:
The largedecrease decreaseof $0.4 million, or 16%, in domestic revenue from TSG during 20242025 as compared to 20232024 resulted primarily from a 75%$0.3 million, or 20%, decrease

Internationally, TSG revenue decreased 17% during 2024 compared to 2023, due primarily to a decline in sales of replacement parts and accessories to international casino and gaming customers.
We expect TSG sales to be somewhat lower in 2025 compared to 2024 as we expect to cease selling our legacy consumable products by the end of 2025.
Gross profit is measured as revenue less cost of sales, which includes primarily the cost of all raw materials and component parts, direct labor,
manufacturing overhead expenses, cost of finished products purchased
directly from our contract manufacturers, expenses associated with installations and support of our EPICENTRAL print system and our line of BOHA! productsproducts, and royalty payments to
third-parties, including to the third party licensor of our food
service technology software products. Gross profit decreasedincreased $16.9$3.5 million, or 44%.16% primarily driven by an increase of sales of $8.1 million in 2025 compared to 2024, partially reduced by

Engineering, design and product development expenses primarily include salary and payroll-related expenses for our hardware and software engineering staff,
depreciation and design expenses (including prototype
printer expenses, outside design, development and testing services, supplies and contracted software development expenses including those to the third partythird-party licensor of our food service technology software products). Engineering, design and
product development expenses decreased $2.5 million, or 26%, in 2024 compared to 2023 due to cost reduction initiatives taken during the latter part of 2023, and in the second quarter of 2024, including a reduction of contracted software
development expenses. We expect engineering, design and product development expenses

Selling and marketing expenses primarily include salaries and payroll-related expenses for our sales, marketing and customer success staff, sales
commissions, travel expenses, expenses associated with the lease of
sales offices, advertising, trade show expenses, public relations, e-commerce and other promotional marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreasedincreased $1.7$0.2 million, or 18%, 3%,
during 20242025 compared to 20232024 primarilydue largely to higher costs related to programs to further improve the Company’s go-to-market strategy as well as higher sales commissions and incentive compensation due to improved financial results in 2025 compared to
2024, partially offset by cost reduction
initiatives, initiatives including reduced headcount, trade show and other marketing expenses. We expect selling and marketing expenses for 2025 to increase compared to 2024 due to typical inflationary and cost of living increases as well incremental costs
we expect to incur related to programs to further improve and refine our go-to-market strategy.
General and administrative expenses primarily include salaries, incentive compensation, and other payroll-related expenses for our Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, accounting, human resources,
corporate development and information technology staff, expenses for our corporate headquarters,headquarters expenses, professional and legal expenses, information technology expenses, and other expenses related to being a
publicly traded company. General and
administrative expenses decreasedincreased $3.4$1.4 million, or 25%,14%, during 20242025 compared to 20232024. This increase was driven largely by higher

Operating (Loss) Income.Loss. Operating (loss) income
information for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 is summarized below (in
thousands, except percentages):
Our operating incomeloss decreasedimproved $9.3by $2.2 million, or 164%,61%, during 20242025 compared to 20232024 as a $16.9$3.5 millionmillion, or 44%16% decreaseincrease, in gross profit on 40%19% lowerhigher sales,sales was partially offset by a $7.6$1.3 million or 23%5% decreaseincrease in
operating expenses (including the $1.5 million severance charge in 2023 discussed above in “General and Administrative”) in 2024
2025 compared to 2023.2024.
Interest, net. We recorded net interest income of $147$198 thousand in 20242025 compared to net interest expenseincome of
$255 $147 thousand in 2023.2024. During 20232025 we earned more interest income than in
2024 due to higher levels of invested cash on hand (cash and cash equivalents were $20.4 million and $14.4 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively). During both
2025 and 2024 we incurred interest expense related to minimum borrowings required pursuant to the Siena Credit Facility. Following the November 2024 amendment of the Siena Credit Facility, we were required
to maintain outstanding borrowings of
at least $3 million in principal amount, an increase from $2.25 million prior to the amendment. The interest rate of our Siena Credit Facility was 8.50% and 9.25% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 9 – Borrowings to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, during 2024 we
earned more interest income than in 2023 due to higher levels of invested cash on hand.
Other, net. We recorded other income of $133 thousand in 2025 compared to other expense of $89 thousand in 2024. The other income in 2025 is related to foreign exchange gains recorded by our UK subsidiary compared to foreign exchange losses of $89 thousand in 2024. Going forward, we may continue to experience more foreign exchange gains or losses depending on the level of sales to European customers through our UK subsidiary and the fluctuation in exchange rates of the Euro and Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar, which may be impacted by volatility in global economic conditions and political instability throughout the world.
Other, net. We recorded other expense of $89 thousand in 2024 compared to other income of $452
thousand in 2023. The other expense for 2024 is related to higher foreign exchange losses recorded by our UK subsidiary during 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed an asset sale of our Printrex product line (essentially
inventory on-hand) and recorded a non-operating gain of approximately $426 thousand. Prior to this sale, the last TransAct sales of Printrex products occurred in 2021.
Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense in 2025 of $0.2 million at an
effective tax rate of (14.4%), compared to income tax expense in 2024 of $6.3 million at an effective tax rate of (176.4%),. compared to incomeOur tax expense in 20232025 ofonly $1.2included milliontaxes atassociated anwith effectiveearnings taxin ratethe ofUnited 19.6%.Kingdom and minimum required state taxes in
the United States. The effective tax rate for 2024 was unusually high due to an income tax charge of
$7.3 million related to the write down of our U.S. net deferred income tax asset as more fully described below (See Note 11 – Income taxes into the Consolidatedaccompanying Financialconsolidated Statementsfinancial statements). We continue to believe this tax valuation allowance is required as of December 31, 2025. As such, the Company has not recorded any U.S. federal tax benefits
associated with losses recorded in 2025.
Net (Loss) Income.Loss. As a result of the
above, we reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 20242025 of $1.2 million, or ($0.12) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.9 million, or ($0.99) per
diluted share, compared to net income of $4.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share in 2023.2024.
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting the management of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, capital expenditures, the purchase of a copy of the source code and capitalized software development costs related to our BOHA! software, access to bank lines of credit and our ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms.
During the third quarter of 2023, we began a cost reduction initiative to reduce our overall level of operating expenses that included reducing employee
headcount, trade show, advertising and other promotional
marketing expenses, certain third-party engineering resources and other expenses, and to a lesser extent, certain general and administrative expenses. We estimated annual cost savings from these
initiatives to be approximately $3.0 million and we
realized the full savings from these actions in 2024..2024. We also began an additional cost reduction initiative in the second quarter of 2024 focused largely on further reducing employee headcount and
other external third-party resources. Savings
from this initiative were realized beginning in the third quarter of 2024 and areresulted expected to bein approximately $2.0 million of savings on an annualized basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance
that the cost-cutting efforts we have taken
to bring expenses in line with our revenue and mitigate the impact of global economic conditions such as supply chain disruptions and inflation are sufficient or adequate, and we may be required to take
additional measures, as the ultimate extent
of the effects of these risks on the Company, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows are uncertain and are dependent on evolving developments which cannot be predicted at
this time. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk
Factors, of this Form 10-K for further discussion of risks related to global economic conditions, supply chain disruptions and inflation.
During 2024,2025, our cash balance increased $2.1$6.0 million, or 16%42% (versus an increase of $4.4$2.1 million in 20232024) due primarily to operating activities, including a
reduction in accounts
receivableinventory of $3.3$5.4 million and a reduction of inventory of $1.6 million. Financing activities also provided a netan increase in cashaccrued liabilities and other liabilities of $0.6$1.9 million. Investing activities used $1.6 million duein cash, primarily attributed to thecapitalized increasesoftware indevelopment bank borrowings required by Amendment No. 4 to the Siena Loan and
Credit Facility Agreement signed on November 20, 2024 (see further detail in “Credit Facility and Borrowings” section below).costs. We had $14.4$20.4 million in
cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024,2025, of which $168$310 thousand was held by our UK subsidiary.
For 2025:
For 2023:
Investing activities: Our capital expenditures were $0.3$0.1 million and $0.9$0.3 million in 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively.

Financing activities: Financing activities used $0.1

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our expected cash flows generated from operating activities, and borrowings available under our Siena
Credit Facility will provide sufficient resources to meet
our working capital needs, finance our capital expendituresexpenditures, fund the purchase of a copy of the source code and capitalized software development costs related to our BOHA! software, and meet
our liquidity requirements through at least the next twelve months. Notwithstanding this belief, the ultimate impact of current global economic pressures and uncertainty
relating to tariffs, inflationary pressures and market instability is unknown.
OnWe Marchare 13,party 2020,to we entered into thea Loan and Security AgreementAgreement, dated as of March 13, 2020 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) governing a credit facility (the “Siena Credit Facility”), with Siena Lending Group LLC (the “Lender”). The Siena Credit

Company to maintain outstanding borrowings of at least $2.25 million in principal amount or, during any period during which the Lender had control of the Company’s deposit account in accordance with the Loan Agreement, as amended by Siena Credit
Facility Amendment No. 2, to pay interest on at least $2,250,000 in principal amount of outstanding borrowings, whether or not such amount of loans was actually outstanding.
On May 1, 2023, the Company and the Lender agreed to a letter amendment (Amendment No. 3) to the Loan Agreement. Prior to such amendment, Section 7.1(m) of the Loan Agreement required that any successor to the
Company’s former Chief Executive Officer be reasonably acceptable to the Lender. This amendment confirmed that Mr. John Dillon, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, is an acceptable successor, and applied the same requirement to any
future successor to Mr. Dillon as Chief Executive Officer.

We are currently dependent upon a manufacturer located in Thailand for the manufacturing and assembly of substantially all of our printers and terminals. During 2025, the U.S. government announced a variety of trade-related actions, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from several countries, including Thailand.see in full comparisonIn response, many countries announced their own retaliatory tariffs. After a number of announcements imposing and revising tariffs applicable to goods imported from Thailand over the course of the year, on July 30, 2025, theOnU.S. government announced that an agreement was made with Thailand to establish a U.S. tariff of 19% on goods imported from Thailand effective August 7, 2025. OnFebruary 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, holding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not provide the executive branch with the authority to impose certain tariffs.

“Domestic sales of our casino and gaming products for the first six months of 2026 increased by $0.4 million, or 3% compared to the first six months of 2025. As noted, the Company recorded a reduction in 2026 domestic casino and gaming sales of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 related to expected customer refunds.

Global macroeconomic conditions have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company’s operations and overall financial performance during the six
quartersmonths ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025. These macroeconomic conditions include, among others, changing levels of demand in the casino and gaming market, supply chain constraints, geopolitical conflicts, inflationary pressures, high interest rates, and
and changes in global trade policies including higher tariffs in the U.S. and other countries. These macroeconomic trends could continue to impact our business, including potential impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of
2026. We
currently do not expect any significant impact to our capital and financial resources from these macroeconomic conditions, including to our overall liquidity position based on our available cash and cash equivalents and our access to
credit facilities.
We are currently dependent upon a manufacturer located in
Thailand for the manufacturing and assembly of substantially all of our printers and terminals.
During 2025, the U.S. government announced a variety of trade-related actions, including the imposition of tariffs on imports from several countries,
including Thailand. In response, many countries announced their own retaliatory tariffs. After a number of announcements imposing and revising tariffs applicable to goods imported from Thailand over the course of the year, on July 30, 2025, theOn
U.S. government announced that an agreement was made with Thailand to establish a U.S. tariff of 19% on goods imported from Thailand effective August 7, 2025. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, holding that the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not provide the executive branch with the authority to impose certain tariffs. This ruling invalidated certain tariffs previously paid by
the Company on goods imported from Thailand. FollowingWithin thishours decision,of that ruling, the
presidential administrationWhite implementedHouse aissued tariffProclamation surcharge11012, underutilizing Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974,1974 establishingto bypass the court decision and immediately instituted a minimumtemporary 10% dutyglobal import

tariff met its statutory expiration date on July 24, 2026. Effective July 24, 2026, the U.S. government implemented a new 12.5% import tariff under Section 301 on various goods imported from Thailand and dozens of other trading partners,
following an administration-led supply chain investigation.
These tariffs may impact certain goods that are assembled and
imported into the U.S. from our manufacturer in Thailand if a reduction or resolution cannot be negotiated between the Thai and the U.S governments.Thailand. The majority of raw components used in
the manufacturing and assembly of our printers and
terminals are sourced locally in Thailand, and to a lesser extent, from other countries in the region, including China. As a result, we currently have a limited ability to mitigate the potential impact
of tariffs on goods sold into the U.S. through
alternative sourcing or manufacturing. We currently plan to mitigate any potential tariffs by raising prices to customers, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to pass on all tariff costs to customers via price
increases. The Company
is currentlycontinues evaluatingto monitor and evaluate the ongoing impact of these additional tariffs but does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on its operations or
financial condition.
Since we generally have been able to pass on all tariff costs to our customers, they did not materially impact our results for the first
quarter of 2026. Following the February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding IEEPA tariffs, the Company has initiated a process to claim refunds of approximately $0.5$0.6 million in previously paid duties. In line with its commitment to customer
transparency, the Company also intends to reimburse certain customers for tariff costs
previously passed through via pricing adjustments, subject to applicable law and any further legal or regulatory developments. WeThe continueCompany expects to monitorissue these
reimbursements following successful receipt of funds from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The timing and ultimate amount of these payments remain subject to the ongoing

The continued effects of any global tariffs may potentially increase the likelihood of a recession, create a significant reduction in

year as we continue to focus on growing our installed base of terminals and the related recurring software revenue (including the sale of software, BOHA!
labels labels, and other
recurring revenue).

SalesPOS sales were consistent in the firstsecond quarter of 2026 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 20252025. as weWe believe sales have normalized at a new, lower level due to
competitive pressures that have resulted in a decreased level of sales and a reduction in average selling prices in 2025 compared to prior periods. We expect POS automation sales for the remainder of 2026 to be comparable to our sales in 2025.
Casino and gaming. Revenue from
from the casino and gaming market includes sales of thermal ticket printers used in slot machines, video lottery terminals, and other gaming machines that print tickets or receipts instead of issuing coins at casinos, racetracks, charitable gaming
establishments and other gaming venues worldwide. Revenue from this market also includes sales of thermal roll-fed printers used in the international off-premise gaming market in gaming machines such as Amusement with Prizes, Skills with Prizes and
Fixed Odds Betting Terminals and kiosks for sports betting at non-casino gaming and sports betting establishments. In addition, casino and gaming market revenue includes sales of the EPICENTRAL print system, our software solution, and is currently

Sales of our worldwide casino and gaming products for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were as
follows (in thousands, except percentages):
Domestic sales of our casino and gaming products for the firstsecond quarter of
2026 decreased by $0.6 million, or 10% compared to the second quarter of 2025. The Company recorded a reduction in second quarter 2026 domestic casino and
gaming sales of $1.0 million related to expected customer refunds as discussed earlier.
Absent this adjustment, casino and gaming sales in the second quarter of 2026 increased
bywould $1.0have been $8.3 million, or 20%up compared$0.7 tomillion and 9% from the firstsecond quarter of 2025. Sales during the first quarter of 2025 started to recover from a significant 2024
slowdown in order and shipment rates as our customers worked through their excess inventory that
had accumulated as a hedge during the worldwide supply chain crisis ofin 2022 and 2023. Sales in the firstsecond quarter of 2026 were strongstrengthened as our major
casino and gaming customers had fully workedsold through their on-hand inventory and began to order at
higher more historical demand levels again. As a result of these factors, including higher expected demand, we expect our domestic casino and gaming sales to be
higher in 2026 compared to 2025.
Our international casino and gaming sales were up 35%$0.3 million or 17% during the firstsecond quarter of 2026 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2025, due to
increased demand across multiple
customers in both Europe and Australia. We expect our international sales to continue to be higher in 2026 compared to 2025.
TSG: Revenue generated by TSG
includes includes
sales of consumable products (POS receipt paper for non-FST legacy products), replacement parts and accessories, maintenance and repair services and shipping and handling charges. Sales in our worldwide TSG market for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
The decreaseincrease in domestic revenue from TSG during the firstsecond quarter of 20262026, as compared to the firstsecond quarter of 20252025, was due largely to higher repair
orders and higher shipping charges. The decrease in international revenue from TSG during the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, was due to lower sales of
replacement parts, as well as lower legacy consumables salesspares and service revenue.accessories.
We expect TSG sales to be somewhatremain lower in 2026 compared to 2025 as we ceased selling all our remaining legacy consumable products at the end of 2025.

expenses and other expenses related to being a publicly traded company. General and administrative expenses increased $251$12 thousand, or 10%,0.4%, during the first quartersecond
of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. This increase was driven largely by increased share-based compensation expense due to the timing of awards, recruiting fees for the hire of additional sales and marketing staff, and other fees and
taxes in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the samesecond periodquarter inof 2025. Executive separation and associated legal expenses were partially offset by lower bonus and incentive compensation expense.
Operating IncomeLoss. (Loss).
Operating income (loss) for
the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):
Our operating loss decreased $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due largely to the improvement of gross margin of $0.4 million discussed above, partially offset by the $146 thousand of increased operating expenses discussed above.
Interest, net. We recorded net interest income of $59 thousand in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $40 thousand in the second quarter of 2025. For both quarters, we were required to maintain outstanding borrowings of at least $3.0 million in principal amount on our Siena Credit Facility. We maintained a higher average level of invested cash during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 which resulted in higher interest income in the 2026 period.
Other, net. Other, net primarily includes foreign exchange gains and losses by our UK subsidiary. During the second quarter of 2026 we recognized $25 thousand of foreign exchange losses compared to $115 thousand of foreign exchange gains in the second quarter of 2025. Going forward, we may continue to experience more foreign exchange gains or losses depending on the level of sales to European customers through our UK subsidiary and the fluctuation in exchange rates of the euro and pound sterling against the U.S. dollar.
Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax expense in the second quarter of 2026 of $30 thousand compared to income tax expense during the second quarter of 2025 of $40 thousand. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the full value of its U.S. federal net deferred tax asset. The need for this valuation allowance has been reassessed as of June 30, 2026 and management continues to believe this valuation allowance is appropriate. As such, we recorded no U.S. federal income tax expense during the second quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025. Our tax expense for both periods only includes taxes associated with earnings in the United Kingdom and minimum required state taxes in the United States.
Results of Operations: Six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to six months ended June 30, 2025
Net Sales: Net sales, which include printer, terminal and software sales, as well as sales of replacement parts, consumables (including labels) and maintenance and repair services, by market for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
Net sales for the first six months of 2026 increased $1.5 million, or 6%, compared to the first six months of 2025. As noted, the Company recorded a reduction in 2026 domestic casino and gaming sales of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 related to expected customer refunds. Printer, terminal and other hardware unit sales volume increased 7% to approximately 54,700 units, due primarily to a 11% unit sales volume increase in the casino and gaming market, partially offset by a 23% unit sales volume decrease in FST hardware (FST has a smaller base). Unit sales volume changes in TSG and POS automation were not material. For more information about the sales volume changes described above, please refer to the results of operations for each of our markets discussed further below. The average selling price of our printers, terminals and other hardware, excluding the impact of the aforementioned $1.0 million sales adjustment, was up 0.5% in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025. FST software, labels and other recurring revenue increased $1.1 million, or 19%, in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 due primarily to both increased software and label sales.
International sales for the first six months of 2026 increased $0.8 million, or 17%, from the same period in 2025 due primarily to increased sales in our casino and gaming market.
FST: For an in-depth discussion of our FST market dynamics and business overview, please refer the “Results of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to three months ended June 30, 2025” above.
Sales of our worldwide FST products for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
The increase in FST sales in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 was driven by a $1.1 million increase in software, labels and other recurring revenue, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in hardware sales. Hardware sales were particularly strong in the first six months of 2025 due to replacement sales of our BOHA! Terminal 2 to a large convenience store (replacing our BOHA! Terminal 1) and a large international QSR (replacing our AccuDate 9700), as well as a new sushi customer, that did not repeat in the first six months of 2026. FST software, labels and other recurring revenue increased 19% in the first six months of 2026 compared to the prior year period due largely to stronger label sales (up $0.7 million due primarily to a large order by an existing customer) and stronger software sales (up $0.3 million or 35%). The increase in software sales was driven by price increases.
Although FST revenues were relatively flat in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025, we expect FST revenue to be higher in 2026 than in 2025 for the remainder of the year as we continue to focus on growing our installed base of terminals and the related recurring software revenue (including the sale software, BOHA! labels and other recurring revenue).
POS automation: For an in-depth discussion of our POS automation market dynamics and business overview, please refer the “Results of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to three months ended June 30, 2025” above.
Sales of our POS automation products for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
POS sales increased $31 thousand or 3% in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 . We believe sales have normalized to a lower level due to competitive pressures that resulted in a decreased level of sales and a reduction in average selling prices in 2025 compared to prior periods. We expect POS automation sales for the remainder of 2026 to be comparable to our sales in 2025.
Casino and gaming. For an in-depth discussion of our casino and gaming market dynamics and business overview, please refer the “Results of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to three months ended June 30, 2025” above.
Sales of our worldwide casino and gaming products for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
Domestic sales of our casino and gaming products for the first six months of 2026 increased by $0.4 million, or 3% compared to the first six months of 2025. As noted, the Company recorded a reduction in 2026 domestic casino and gaming sales of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 related to expected customer refunds. Absent this adjustment, casino and gaming sales in the first six months of 2026 would have been $16.7 million, or up $2.3 million and 16% from the first six months of 2025. Sales during the first quarter of 2025 started to recover from a significant 2024 slowdown in order and shipment rates as our customers worked through their excess inventory that had accumulated as a hedge during a worldwide supply chain crisis of 2022 and 2023. Sales in the first six months of 2026 strengthened as our major casino and gaming customers had sold through their on-hand inventory and began to order at more historical demand levels again. As a result of these factors, including higher expected demand, we expect our domestic casino and gaming sales to be higher in 2026 compared to 2025.
Our international casino and gaming sales were up 27% during the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025, due to increased demand across multiple customers in both Europe and Australia. We expect our international sales to continue to be higher in 2026 compared to 2025.
TSG: For an in-depth discussion of our TSG market dynamics and business overview, please refer the “Results of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to three months ended June 30, 2025” above.
Sales in our worldwide TSG market for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
Domestic revenue from TSG during the first six months of 2026 as compared to the first six months of 2025 was flat as increases in repairs and shipping were offset by lowers sales of spares. For the same periods, international sales were down $31 thousand due to lower sales of spares.
We expect TSG sales to be lower in 2026 compared to 2025 as we ceased selling all our remaining legacy consumable products at the end of 2025.
Gross Profit. Gross profit information for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):
Gross profit is measured as revenue less cost of sales, which includes primarily the cost of all raw materials and component parts, direct labor, manufacturing overhead expenses (including tariffs), cost of finished products purchased directly from our contract manufacturers, expenses associated with installations and support of our EPICENTRAL print system and BOHA! products and royalty payments to third parties, including to the former third-party licensor of our FST software products (during 2025). In the first six months of 2026, gross profit increased $1.2 million, or 10%, and gross margin increased 180 basis points to 50% due primarily to a 6% increase in overall sales, including a 9% increase in sales in our casino and gaming market, as well as increased sales of FST recurring revenue (software, labels and other recurring revenue) which both carry higher average margins than our other product offerings.

Operating Expenses - Engineering, Design and Product Development. Engineering, design and product development expense information for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):
Engineering, design and product development expenses primarily include salary and payroll-related expenses for our hardware and software engineering staff, depreciation and design expenses (including prototype printer expenses, outside design, development and testing services, supplies and contract software development expenses including those payments to the former third-party licensor of our FST software products). Engineering, design and product development expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 22%, for the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 due largely to a reduction in external consulting fees, lower bonus expense and the capitalization of certain internal labor costs associated with development activities related to the 2025 acquisition from Avery Dennison Corporation of a perpetual license to a copy of the source code for the BOHA! software. TransAct is capitalizing certain internal and external labor costs related to this project.
