Global macroeconomic conditions have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company’s operations and overall financial performance during the quarters ended March 31, 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 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, the 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. Following this decision, the presidential administration implemented a tariff surcharge under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, establishing a minimum 10% duty on imports, subject to certain exemptions.

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. 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. Within hours of that ruling, the White House issued Proclamation 11012, utilizing Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to bypass the court decision and immediately instituted a temporary 10% global import surcharge. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officially began collecting the new 10% surcharge on February 24, 2026. Because Section 122 authority strictly limits emergency balance-of-payments surcharges to 150 days, this specific 10% global 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.
Previous wording
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. 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 currently evaluating the impact of these additional tariffs but does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial condition.

Previous wording
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 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. We continue to monitor the ongoing implications of tariffs and potential increases in tariffs and counter-tariffs. Given the continued lack of clarity, it is uncertain whether other countries will continue to seek negotiations or retaliate as future developments occur, or whether the U.S. government will increase, eliminate or expand tariffs, reconsider or adjust tariffs based upon negotiations, or grant further exemptions.
Current wording
Following the February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding IEEPA tariffs, the Company has initiated a process to claim refunds of approximately $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. The Company expects to issue 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 federal Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) portal processing timelines and final verification of eligible entries. In July 2026, subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2026, but prior to the issuance of these financial statements, the Company received partial payment of $0.5 million in cash reimbursements from the government via the CAPE portal. The ultimate availability, timing and final total amount to be received from refunds remains uncertain.

Sales were consistent in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 as we believe sales have normalized at a new, 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.

The decrease in domestic revenue from TSG during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 was due largely to lower sales of replacement parts, as well as lower legacy consumables sales and service revenue.
Current wording
The increase in domestic revenue from TSG during the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, 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 spares and accessories.

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, other promotional marketing expenses and outsourced go-to-market consulting services. Selling and marketing expenses increased $112 thousand, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to higher costs related to programs to further improve the Company’s go-to-market strategy, including the hire of additional sales, marketing and sales support staff, as well as higher sales commissions due to increased sales in 2026 compared to 2025.

General and administrative expenses increased $251 thousand, or 10%, during the first quarter 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 same period in 2025.

Previous wording
Interest, net. We recorded net interest income of $66 thousand in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $22 thousand in the first quarter of 2025. For both quarters, we were required to maintain outstanding borrowings of at least $3 million in principal amount on our Siena Credit Facility. We maintained a higher average level of invested cash during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 which resulted in higher interest income in the 2026 period.
Current wording
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.

Previous wording
Other, net. Other, net primarily includes foreign exchange gains and losses by our UK subsidiary. During the first quarter of 2026 we recognized $48 thousand of foreign exchange losses compared to $63 thousand of foreign exchange gains in the first 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.
Current wording
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.

Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax expense in the first quarter of 2026 of $23 thousand at an effective tax rate of 2.9%, compared to income tax expense during the first quarter of 2025 of $51 thousand at an effective tax rate of 72.9%. 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 assessed as of March 31, 2026 and management continues to believe this valuation allowance is appropriate. As such, we recorded no U.S. federal income tax expense during the first quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was low due to tax expense only being recorded on income taxes associated with earnings in the United Kingdom and minimum required state income taxes in the United States. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was unusually high due to (1) a near-breakeven level of pre-tax earnings of $70 thousand and (2) tax expense only included taxes associated with earnings in the United Kingdom and minimum required state taxes in the United States.
Current wording
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.
Previous wording
The decrease in food service technology sales in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was driven by a decrease in domestic hardware sales. Hardware sales were particularly strong in the first quarter 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 quarter of 2026. FST software, labels and other recurring revenue increased 26% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year period due largely to stronger label sales to our new sushi customer and large convenience store described above.
Current wording
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.
Previous wording
Although FST revenues were lower in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter 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 of BOHA! labels and other recurring revenue).
Current wording
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).
Previous wording
Domestic sales of our casino and gaming productsfor the first quarter of 2026 increased by $1.0 million, or 20% compared to the first 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 of 2022 and 2023. Sales in the first quarter of 2026 were strong as our major casino and gaming customers had fully worked through their on-hand inventory and began to order at higher 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.
Current wording
Domestic sales of our casino and gaming productsfor 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 salesof $1.0 million in thesecond quarter of 2026 related toexpected 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.

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 food service technology software products (during 2025). Inthe first quarter of 2026, gross profit increased $894 thousand, or 14%, and gross margin increased 160 basis points to 50% due primarily to a 10% increase in overall sales, including a 24% increase in sales in our casino and gaming market which carry higher average margins than our other markets. This was partially offset by increased overhead costs and general inflation.

Engineering, design and product development expenses decreased $255 thousand, or 16%, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 due largely to 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 related to this project.

Domestic sales of our casino and gaming productsfor the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $0.6 million, or 10% compared to the second quarter of 2025.
