NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. In the opinion of TransAct Technologies Incorporated (the
"Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of
September 25, 1999, and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the three and nine months ended September 25, 1999 and September 26,
1998. The December 31, 1998 consolidated condensed balance sheet has been
derived from the Company's audited financial statements at that date.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The financial position and results of operations of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries are measured using local currency as the functional
currency. Assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries have been
translated at end of period exchange rates, and related revenues and
expenses have been translated at weighted average exchange rates.
Transaction gains and losses are included in other income.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 25, 1999 and September 26, 1998 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended
September 25, 1999 and September 26, 1998 were based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share for the same periods were based on the weighted average number
of shares after consideration of any dilutive effect of stock options and
warrants.
3. Inventories:

4. Commitments and contingencies
The Company has a long-term purchase agreement with Okidata,
Division of Oki America, Inc., for certain printer components. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company receives favorable pricing for volume
purchases over the life of the contract. In the event anticipated
purchase levels are not achieved, the Company would be subject to
retroactive price increases on previous purchases. Management currently
anticipates achieving purchase levels sufficient to maintain the
favorable prices.
5. Significant transactions
On June 25, 1999, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Magnetec Corporation ("Magnetec"), commenced a lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the District of Rhode Island against GTECH
Corporation ("GTECH") for misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of
contract and related claims, seeking injunctive relief and compensatory
and punitive damages. Magnetec has manufactured and sold printers to
GTECH for use in the GTECH Isys(R) on-line terminal system under various
OEM agreements since 1994. The lawsuit asserted that GTECH attempted to
use proprietary Magnetec information in violation of Magnetec's rights
under the OEM agreements and applicable law. The lawsuit was subsequently
refiled in the Rhode Island Superior Court. On June 30, 1999, the Rhode
Island Superior Court issued a temporary
6
<PAGE> 7
restraining order against GTECH, which among other things, prohibited
GTECH from working with or giving information to third parties about the
design or manufacture of a printer to replace the printer designed and
produced by Magnetec for the GTECH Isys(R) on-line lottery system. On
July 15, 1999, GTECH and the Company signed a new five-year agreement
under which Magnetec will be the exclusive manufacturer and supplier to
GTECH of an impact printer for use in GTECH's Isys(R) on-line lottery
terminal. As part of the agreement, GTECH agreed to pay the Company $1
million for past design efforts, development costs and manufacturing
interruption costs and agreed to place a non-cancelable order for
delivery of a minimum of approximately $8 million of printers in the year
2000. In connection with the execution of this agreement, the parties
agreed to have all claims under the lawsuits dismissed and filed
dismissal stipulations to terminate the federal and state lawsuits.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements included in this report, including without limitation
statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, which are not historical facts are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to, customer acceptance and market share gains, both domestically and
internationally, in the face of substantial competition from competitors that
have broader lines of products and greater financial resources; successful
product development; dependence on significant customers; dependence on third
parties for sales in Europe and Latin America; economic conditions in the United
States, Europe and Latin America; marketplace acceptance of new products; risks
associated with foreign operations; availability of third-party components at
reasonable prices; and the absence of price wars or other significant pricing
pressures affecting the Company's products in the United States or abroad.
Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, the
forward-looking statements.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE.
General.
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.
Program.
The Company has begun a program to resolve its Year 2000 issue. This program
consists of four phases; assessment, remediation, testing and contingency
planning. The Company completed the assessment phase in December 1998 and is
currently in the remediation and contingency planning stages. During the
assessment phase, the Company assessed its products, key financial and operating
systems and other systems for Year 2000 compliance. The assessment included
identifying all critical information management systems and other critical
systems on which the Company relies, testing Year 2000 compliance of such
systems, and recommending steps for replacing/making corrective fixes to
non-compliant systems. Additionally, as part of the assessment phase, the
Company obtained compliance verification from third party vendors supplying
critical parts or services to the Company in order to determine their plans to
address their own Year 2000 issues.
Upon completion of the detailed assessment, the Company concluded that
substantially all its critical financial operating systems and other systems are
Year 2000 compliant. However, certain software and hardware components were
identified as noncompliant. As of September 25, 1999, substantially all critical
noncompliant software and hardware have been replaced . Also, the Company
believes that its products will be unaffected by the Year 2000 Issue, as none of
its products contain embedded date information.
The Company's testing phase is virtually 100% completed as of September 25,
1999. Additionally, the Company has developed a contingency plan to address
third party factors which are out of its control. The contingency plan includes,
among other things, increasing levels of safety stock of critical vendor parts,
securing alternative vendor sources for critical parts, and developing specific
procedures to follow in case of failure of key systems. The contingency plan is
also virtually completed as of September 25, 1999.
7
<PAGE> 8
Costs.
The Company plans completion of the remaining portions of the testing and
contingency planning phases of the Year 2000 program by December 1999. All costs
associated with the Company's Year 2000 program are being expensed as incurred.
The Company's total cost associated with the Year 2000 program has not been, and
based on results of its detailed assessment, is not expected to be, material to
the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The estimated total cost of the Year 2000 Program is approximately $20,000,
which primarily includes the cost of replacing/upgrading noncompliant software
identified during the assessment phase with compliant software. The Company
incurred costs of approximately $15,000 through September 25, 1999.
Risks.
The Company presently believes that with modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue can be mitigated. However, the
Company may not timely identify and remediate all significant Year 2000 problems
and remedial efforts may involve significant time and expense. If such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the results of operations,
financial position or cash flows of the Company.
The Company has identified and analyzed the most reasonably likely worst case
scenarios for third party relationships affected by the Year 2000 Issue. These
scenarios include the inability of certain suppliers to supply critical parts on
a timely basis or the inability of customers to place orders. Either of these
scenarios, which is outside of the Company's control, could result in a delay or
an inability to ship product in the year 2000, depending on the nature and
severity of the problems. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any Year
2000 compliance problems of the Company or its customers or suppliers will not
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position
or cash flows of the Company.
The estimates and conclusions herein contain forward-looking statements and are
based on management's best estimates of future events. Risks to completing the
remaining portions of the program include the availability of outside resources,
the Company's ability to discover and correct potential Year 2000 problems which
could have an impact on the Company's operations and the ability of suppliers or
customers to bring their systems into Year 2000 compliance.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 25, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED

NET SALES. Net sales into the Company's vertical markets for the current and
prior year's quarter were as follows:
<TABLE>

--------------- ---------------------
$13,020 100.0 % $ 13,600 100.0 %
================ =====================
</TABLE>
Net sales for the third quarter of 1999 decreased $580,000, or 4%, to
$13,600,000 from $13,020,000 in the prior year's third quarter. Increased
shipments into the Company's POS and Other markets were more than offset by
significantly decreased shipments into the gaming and lottery market.
Point of sale: Driven largely by increased domestic demand for the Company's POS
printers, particularly its thermal receipt printer, sales of the Company's POS
printers increased approximately $2,086,000, or 30%, from the third quarter of
1998. Domestic sales accounted for approximately $2,035,000 of the total
increase in POS sales for the quarter. In addition, despite $1,400,000 of
printer shipments for the British Post Office project in the third quarter of
1998 that did not repeat in the third quarter of 1999, international sales
increased by $51,000. (The Company does not anticipate making any printer
shipments related to this project during 1999, however, printer shipments are
expected to resume in the second quarter of 2000.) The absence of printer
shipments for the British Post Office project was more than offset by increased
shipments to Europe and Latin America through the Company's distribution
partner, Okidata.
8
<PAGE> 9
Gaming and lottery: Sales of the Company's gaming and lottery printers decreased
approximately $3,653,000, or 70%, from the third quarter a year ago. The overall
decrease primarily reflects the absence of approximately $4,100,000 in shipments
of the Company's on-line lottery printers and spare parts to one customer in the
third quarter of 1998 that did not repeat. The Company does not anticipate
making any shipments of on-line lottery printers, other than spares, to this
customer for the remainder of 1999. However, shipments of these printers will
resume in January 2000. Additionally, sales of in-lane and other lottery
printers to this same customer decreased approximately $200,000. No shipments of
in-lane lottery printers are expected for the remainder of 1999. The decrease in
sales of printers for use in on-line and in-lane lottery terminals was somewhat
offset by an increase of approximately $600,000 in shipments of printers for use
in video lottery terminals.
Other: Sales of the Company's printers into other markets increased $987,000, or
72%, to $2,352,000 from $1,365,000. Sales for the third quarter of 1999 included
resumed shipments of approximately $300,000 of the Company's thermal kiosk
printers for use in a Canadian government application. No shipments of these
printers were made in the third quarter of 1998. Additionally, sales in the
Company's other markets increased due to significantly increased shipments of
printers to one customer for use in automated teller machines.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $443,000, or 12%, to $3,335,000 from
$3,778,000 in the prior year's quarter. The gross margin also declined to 25.6%
from 27.8%. Both gross profit and gross margin declined largely due to the
impact of approximately $350,000 of nonrecurring manufacturing disruption and
other costs related to the GTECH product line (the "GTECH costs"). Excluding
these nonrecurring costs, gross margin for the third quarter of 1999 would have
been 28.3%. The Company expects its gross margin for the remainder of 1999 to be
relatively consistent with that of the first nine months of the year (including
the GTECH costs).
ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. Engineering, design and product development
expenses decreased $203,000, or 20%, to $803,000 from $1,006,000 in the third
quarter of 1998. This decrease is primarily due to (1) a reduction in
engineering staff resulting from the downsizing and reorganization of the
Company's manufacturing facility in Wallingford, Connecticut in December 1998
and (2) unusually high expenses related to development of certain of the
Company's thermal printers in the third quarter of 1998. These reductions were
somewhat offset by increased product development and design expenses, primarily
for new products in the POS market, including expenses related to the
development of printers utilizing inkjet printing technology. Engineering and
product development expense decreased as a percentage of net sales to 6.1% from
7.4%.
SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses increased $252,000, or
35%, to $975,000 from $723,000 in the quarter ended September 26, 1998, and
increased as a percentage of net sales to 7.5% from 5.3%. Such expenses
increased due primarily to higher sales commissions resulting from an increase
in sales eligible for commissions in the third quarter of 1999 compared to 1998.
The Company expects selling and marketing expenses to increase in the fourth
quarter of 1999, and significantly increase during 2000, as the Company
accelerates its marketing activities in preparation for the launch of new
products, particularly its new family of printers utilizing inkjet printing
technology.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased
$61,000, or 6%, to $1,156,000 from $1,095,000 in the comparable prior year's
quarter, due primarily to higher compensation related expenses. General and
administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to 8.9% from
8.1%, due to higher expenses and lower volume of sales in the third quarter of
1999 compared to same quarter of 1998.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased $553,000, or 58%, to $401,000 from
$954,000 in the third quarter of 1998. Operating income as a percentage of net
sales declined to 3.1% from 7.0%, primarily due to lower gross margin resulting
from the inclusion of $350,000 of nonrecurring manufacturing disruption and
other costs related to the GTECH product line. Excluding these nonrecurring
costs, operating income would have been $751,000, or 5.8% of net sales.
OTHER INCOME. Other income for the third quarter of 1999 includes a one-time
gain of $770,000 related to the favorable settlement of a lawsuit with GTECH.
The gain includes a $1,000,000 cash settlement, net of $230,000 of legal and
accounting expenses directly related to the lawsuit settlement.
9
<PAGE> 10
INTEREST. The Company incurred net interest expense of $89,000, compared to
$110,000 in the third quarter of 1998, due to lower average outstanding
borrowings in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the same quarter a year ago,
partially offset by a slightly higher average borrowing rate in the third
quarter of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" below.
INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the current quarter reflects an
effective tax rate of 21.8% compared to 37.0% in the prior year's period. The
significant decline in the Company's effective tax rate largely results from the
recognition of certain tax credits and benefit from the Company's foreign sales
corporation.
NET INCOME. Net income for the third quarter of 1999 was $837,000, or $0.15 per
share (basic and diluted) compared to $533,000, or $0.09 per share (basic and
diluted) for the third quarter of 1998.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 25, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED

NET SALES. Net sales into the Company's vertical markets for the current and
prior nine-month periods were as follows:

Net sales for the first nine months of 1999 decreased $4,635,000, or 12%, to
$39,380,000 from $34,745,000 in the prior year's period, due to decreased
shipments into the POS and gaming and lottery markets, offset by an increase in
the Company's other markets.
Point of sale: Sales of the Company's POS printers decreased approximately
$1,939,000, or 9% from the first nine months of 1998. International POS printer
shipments decreased approximately $2,587,000 due largely to the absence of
printer shipments for the British Post Office project. Shipments for this
project totaled approximately $4,600,000 in the first nine months of 1998. The
Company does not anticipate making any printer shipments related to this project
during 1999, however, printer shipments are expected to resume in the second
quarter of 2000. The absence of printer shipments for the British Post Office
project was partially offset by increased shipments to Europe and Latin America
through the Company's distribution partner, Okidata. Domestic POS printer
increased by approximately $648,000 due largely to increased domestic demand for
the Company's POS printers in the third quarter of 1999, particularly its
thermal receipt printer.
Gaming and lottery: Sales of the Company's gaming and lottery printers decreased
approximately $6,308,000, or 45%, from the first nine months of 1998. The
overall decrease primarily reflects a decrease of approximately $11,600,000 in
shipments of the Company's on-line lottery printers and spare parts to one
customer. The Company does not anticipate making any shipments of on-line
lottery printers, other than spares, to this customer for the remainder of 1999.
However, shipments of these printers will resume in January 2000. The decrease
in sales of printers for use in on-line lottery terminals was largely offset by
(1) an increase of approximately $600,000 of sales of in-lane and other lottery
printers to this same customer and (2) an increase of approximately $4,800,000
in shipments of printers for use in video lottery terminals, primarily for use
in South Carolina's video poker industry. During the first nine months of 1998,
shipments of these printers were significantly lower due to uncertainty in South
Carolina's video poker industry concerning the industry's continued future in
the state. In October 1999, the supreme court of South Carolina upheld
legislation to prohibit the use of video poker machines beginning July 1, 2000.
As a result, the Company does not expect any future sales of its printers for
use in video lottery terminals in South Carolina. However, the Company is
currently pursuing opportunities to provide printers for use in video lottery
and other gaming machines outside of South Carolina.

<PAGE> 11
Other: Sales of the Company's printers into other markets increased $3,612,000,
or 113%, to $6,809,000 from $3,197,000 in the first nine months of 1998 due
primarily to resumed shipments of approximately $1,400,000 of the Company's
thermal kiosk printers for use in a Canadian government application. No
shipments of these printers were made in the first nine months of 1998.
Additionally, sales into the Company's other markets increased due to shipments
of printers to a new customer for use in a bank teller application and increased
shipments of printers used in automated teller machines.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $1,958,000, or 18%, to $9,001,000 from
$10,959,000 in first nine months of 1998 due primarily to lower volume of sales,
and to a lesser extent, the inclusion of approximately $350,000 of nonrecurring
costs related to the GTECH product line. The gross margin also declined to 25.9%
from 27.8% largely due to (1) the impact of fixed overhead costs on lower sales
volume at the Company's Wallingford, Connecticut facility and (2) the inclusion
of approximately $350,000 of nonrecurring manufacturing disruption and other
costs related to the GTECH product line. Excluding these nonrecurring costs,
gross margin for the first nine months of 1999 would have been 26.9%. The
Company expects its gross margin for the remainder of 1999 to be relatively
consistent with that of the first nine months of the year (including the GTECH
costs).
ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. Engineering, design and product development
expenses decreased $429,000, or 15%, to $2,393,000 from $2,822,000 in the nine
months ended September 26, 1998, and decreased as a percentage of net sales to
6.9% from 7.2%. This decrease is primarily due to (1) a reduction in engineering
staff resulting from the downsizing and reorganization of the Company's
manufacturing facility in Wallingford, Connecticut in December 1998 and (2)
unusually high expenses related to development of certain of the Company's
thermal printers in the third quarter of 1998. These reductions were somewhat
offset by increased product development and design expenses, primarily for new
products in the POS market, including expenses related to the development of
printers utilizing inkjet printing technology.
SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses increased $492,000, or
21%, to $2,831,000 from $2,339,000 in the first nine of 1998, and increased as a
percentage of net sales to 8.1% from 5.9%. Such expenses increased due to higher
sales commissions resulting from an increase in sales eligible for commissions
in the first nine months of 1999 compared to 1998, and additional marketing
staff related to the establishment of a corporate marketing department in the
second half of 1998. The Company expects selling and marketing expenses to
increase in the fourth quarter of 1999, and significantly increase during 2000,
as the Company accelerates its marketing activities in preparation for the
launch of new products, particularly its new family of printers utilizing inkjet
printing technology.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased
slightly to $3,362,000 from $3,357,000 in the comparable prior year's period.
General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales to
9.7% from 8.5%, primarily due to a lower volume of sales in the first nine
months of 1999 compared to 1998.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased $2,026,000, or 83%, to $415,000
from $2,441,000 in the first nine months of 1998. Operating income as a
percentage of net sales declined to 1.2% from 6.2%, due primarily to lower gross
margin on lower sales volume in the first nine months of 1999 and the inclusion
of $350,000 of nonrecurring costs related to the GTECH product line.
OTHER INCOME. Other income for the nine month period ended September 25, 1999
includes a one-time gain of $770,000 related to the favorable settlement of a
lawsuit with GTECH. The gain includes a $1,000,000 settlement, net of $230,000
of legal and accounting expenses directly related to the lawsuit settlement.
INTEREST. Net interest expense increased to $274,000 from $238,000 in the first
nine months of 1998 due primarily to increased average outstanding borrowings on
the Company's line of credit, and to a lesser extent, a slightly higher average
borrowing rate in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the same period in
1998. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September
25, 1999 reflects an effective tax rate of 24.0% compared to 37.0% in the prior
year's period. The significant decline in the Company's effective tax rate
largely results from the recognition of certain tax credits and benefit from the
Company's foreign sales corporation.
11
<PAGE> 12
NET INCOME. Net income for the first nine months of 1999 was $704,000, or $0.13
per share (basic and diluted) compared to $1,398,000, or $0.22 per share (basic
and diluted) for the comparable 1998 period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company generated cash from operations of $3,882,000 during the nine months
ended September 25, 1999, compared to $397,000 during the nine months ended
September 26, 1998. Cash from operations for the nine months ended September 25,
1999 includes the receipt of $1,000,000, less $230,000 of legal and accounting
expenses, related to the favorable settlement of a lawsuit with GTECH. The
Company's working capital declined to $9,457,000 at September 25, 1999 from
$10,107,000 at December 31, 1998. The current ratio also decreased to 2.12 at
September 25, 1999 from 2.69 at December 31, 1998.
During 1997 and 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
1.5 million shares of the Company's common stock (the "Stock Buyback Program").
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had acquired 1,203,000 shares of its common
stock for $9,421,000. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company
repurchased an additional 70,800 shares of its common stock for $229,000. Since
the Company began the Stock Buyback Program in December 1997, it has repurchased
1,273,800 shares for $9,650,000 (an average cost of $7.58 per share). Further
repurchases of the Company's common stock will depend upon future cash flow of
the Company and stock market conditions.
The Company had in place a $15,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") with Fleet National Bank ("Fleet"). The Credit Facility provided the
Company with a $5,000,000 revolving working capital facility, and a $10,000,000
revolving credit facility to be used for activities such as acquisitions and
repurchases of the Company's common stock. Borrowings under the $10,000,000
revolving credit facility could have been, at the Company's election, converted
to a four-year term loan commencing on June 30, 1999, the expiration date of the
Credit Facility. Any term loan borrowings would have matured on June 30, 2003.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest at Fleet's prime rate and
bore a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% on any unused portion of the
Credit Facility.
On May 7, 1999, the Company replaced the Credit Facility with a new two-year
$10,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") with Fleet,
expiring May 31, 2001. The New Credit Facility provides the Company with a
$10,000,000 credit facility that may be used to fund working capital. Borrowings
under the New Credit Facility bear interest at Fleet's prime rate (8.25% at
September 25, 1999) and bear a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.625% on
any unused portion of the New Credit Facility (0.625% at September 25, 1999).
The New Credit Facility also permits the Company to designate a LIBOR rate on
outstanding borrowings with a margin ranging from 1.50 to 2.25 percentage points
over the market rate, depending on the Company meeting certain ratios.
Concurrent with the New Credit Facility, the Company entered into a swap
agreement with Fleet which permits the Company to fix its interest rate on a
portion, or all, of its outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all the assets of
the Company, imposes certain financial covenants and restricts the payment of
cash dividends and the creation of liens.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $5,800,000 under
the Credit Facility. In accordance with the Company's intent to convert the
outstanding borrowings to a four-year term loan at the expiration of the Credit
Facility, $5,075,000 ($5,800,000, less the current maturity of $725,000) had
been classified as long-term debt at December 31, 1998.
During the first nine months of 1999, the Company had net repayments of
$1,100,000, reducing outstanding borrowings to $4,700,000 at September 25, 1999
from $5,800,000 at December 31, 1998. In accordance with the New Credit
Facility, these borrowings have been classified as long-term debt at September
25, 1999.
The Company's capital expenditures were approximately $1,762,000 and $1,917,000
for the nine months ended September 25, 1999 and September 26, 1998,
respectively. These expenditures primarily included new product tooling,
computer equipment, and factory machinery and equipment. The Company's total
capital expenditures for fiscal 1999 are expected to be approximately
$2,800,000, a majority for new product tooling.
The Company believes that cash flows generated from operations and borrowings
available under the New Credit Facility, as necessary, will provide sufficient
resources to meet the Company's working capital needs, finance its capital
expenditures, and meet its liquidity requirements for the next twelve months.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 5. Other Information
On June 25, 1999, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Magnetec Corporation ("Magnetec"), commenced a lawsuit in the
United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island
against GTECH Corporation ("GTECH") for misappropriation of
trade secrets, breach of contract and related claims, seeking
injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages.
Magnetec has manufactured and sold printers to GTECH for use
in the GTECH Isys(R) on-line terminal system under various OEM
agreements since 1994. The lawsuit asserted that GTECH
attempted to use proprietary Magnetec information in violation
of Magnetec's rights under the OEM agreements and applicable
law. The lawsuit was subsequently refiled in the Rhode Island
Superior Court. On June 30, 1999, the Rhode Island Superior
Court issued a temporary restraining order against GTECH,
which among other things, prohibited GTECH from working with
or giving information to third parties about the design or
manufacture of a printer to replace the printer designed and
produced by Magnetec for the GTECH Isys(R) on-line lottery
system. On July 15, 1999, GTECH and the Company signed a new
five-year agreement under which Magnetec will be the exclusive
manufacturer and supplier to GTECH of an impact printer for
use in GTECH's Isys(R) on-line lottery terminal. As part of
the agreement, GTECH agreed to pay the Company $1 million for
past design efforts, development costs and manufacturing
interruption costs and agreed to place a non-cancelable order
for delivery of a minimum of approximately $8 million of
printers in the year 2000. In connection with the execution of
this agreement, the parties agreed to have all claims under
the lawsuits dismissed and subsequently filed dismissal
stipulations to terminate the federal and state lawsuits.

AMENDED AND RESTATED GTECH OEM PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated GTECH OEM PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), dated as
of July 14, 1999 ("Effective Date"), is made by and between GTECH Corporation,
Transact Technologies Incorporated and Magnetec Corporation. For the mutual
promises set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
amend and restate that certain GTECH OEM PURCHASE AGREEMENT among the parties
dated as of October 1, 1996, and amended and restated as of December 15, 1997,
as follows:

<PAGE> 8
(d) It is expressly understood and agreed that, except as provided in
Sections 1.4(a), 1.4(b), and 11, GTECH may itself manufacture any other
products and services and/or procure any other products and services
from other sources.
2. ORDERING
2.1 Purchase Orders. All purchases under this Agreement will be made under
purchase orders referencing this Agreement issued by GTECH or by any
subsidiary or affiliate of GTECH. Purchase Orders will be deemed
accepted by VENDOR unless rejected in writing by VENDOR specifying the
reasons for rejection within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt
of the Purchase Order. Purchase orders may be rejected by VENDOR only
if a Purchase Order does not comply with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement or proposes new or additional terms that are not
acceptable to VENDOR. Any purchase order issued in connection with the
non-cancelable order set forth in Attachment 3 shall not add any new or
different terms or otherwise propose to modify or amend to this
Agreement with respect to such order.
2.2 Priority Orders. GTECH Purchase Orders for spare parts identified as
"Priority Orders" shall be shipped within twenty-four (24) hours after
receipt by VENDOR's Customer Service Division. In the event that
Products ordered within the Normal Lead Time are overdue for delivery
to GTECH , VENDOR shall ship Product to GTECH at no additional cost to
GTECH, and any premium freight charges shall be prepaid by, and borne
by VENDOR. To the extent that VENDOR or its suppliers are not presently
in possession of the tooling necessary to make a part or an assembly
for the Product, VENDOR's obligations in this section will be suspended
until that tooling is returned to VENDOR or its suppliers.
2.3 Provisioning Orders. GTECH Purchase Orders for spare parts identified
as "Provisioning Orders" shall be shipped within twenty (20) days after
receipt by VENDOR. Provisioning Orders shall not be decremented by
placement of any Priority Orders, unless expressly requested by GTECH.
To the extent that VENDOR or its suppliers are not presently in
possession of the tooling necessary to make a part or an assembly for
the Product, VENDOR's obligations in this section will be suspended
until that tooling is returned to VENDOR or its suppliers.
2.4 Lead Time. Subject to GTECH's right to accelerate described in
Attachment 3, unless otherwise agreed in writing, Products or Services
will be delivered on the schedule set forth in Attachment 3. If GTECH
requests delivery with less than Normal Lead Time to meet a special
requirement, including the replacement of Products lost or damaged in
shipment, VENDOR will use its best efforts to expedite delivery;
including, without limitation, giving GTECH first priority with respect
to all Products in stock or on order, provided however, that GTECH
shall not pay any additional charges or costs for expediting unless
such charges or costs have been accepted in writing by GTECH.
2.5 Rescheduling. GTECH may reschedule delivery of any Product or Service
by written notice to VENDOR at any time before the delivery date
specified in the applicable Purchase Order as specified in Attachments
2 and 3 only with approval of VENDOR, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
-8-
<PAGE> 9
2.6 Cancellation for Convenience. Except as provided in Attachments 2 and
3, GTECH may cancel any or all Purchase Orders or part thereof at any
time prior to the scheduled delivery date. In the event of cancellation
with respect to customized GTECH-specific Products which cannot be

display Magnetec Printers or Modified Printers to third parties in the
ordinary course of GTECH's business. Vendor further agrees that GTECH
may have third parties repair Magnetec Printers or Modified Printers,
or parts thereof, provided GTECH make a good faith effort to execute
confidentiality agreements with such third parties. [For purposes of
this Section, GTECH makes a good faith effort if it notifies the GTECH
General Counsel and the Vice Presidents in charge of Facilities
Management and Product Sales Contracts of the existence of this
requirement.] At the conclusion of the term of this Agreement, GTECH
and VENDOR shall each have the right to use any aspect of the design of
the Magnetec Printer or the Modified Printer (except that GTECH may not

Agreement, it will not attempt to reverse engineer the Magnetec Printer
or the Modified Printer, whether undertaken directly by GTECH or by any
third party acting on GTECH's behalf.
18.5 Equitable Remedies. The parties agree that a breach of the restrictions
and obligations in Section 18 by one party will cause the other party
substantial and continuing damage, the value of which will be difficult
or impossible to ascertain, and other irreparable harm for which the
payment of monetary damages alone will be inadequate. Therefore, in
addition to any other remedy which the potentially aggrieved party may
have under this Agreement or at law or in equity, in the event of such
a breach or threatened breach by a party of the restrictions and
obligations in Section 18, the potentially aggrieved party shall be
entitled to seek both
-21-
<PAGE> 22
temporary and permanent injunctive relief to cease/halt such breach or
threatened breach, and to prevent further breaches of the restrictions
and obligations in question.
19. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS
VENDOR and GTECH agree that the existence and terms of this Agreement
are Confidential Information. VENDOR and GTECH further agree not to
make any public announcements regarding this Agreement, it being
understood that if either is advised by counsel that it is required by
law or the rules of any stock exchange to make such announcement, it
will immediately contact and consult with the other regarding the form
and substance of such announcement prior thereto. Upon the execution of
this Agreement, the parties shall forthwith issue a joint press release
satisfactory to both parties and consistent with the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission concerning this Agreement and the
Memorandum of Understanding.

shown above to the attention of VENDOR's Representative; or such other
persons or addresses as may hereafter be designated by the respective

hereunder without the prior written consent of GTECH in each instance.
Any attempted assignment shall be void. This covenant not to assign
without consent shall include attempts to assign to parents or
subsidiaries of VENDOR or any transfer of a majority interest in VENDOR
or substantially all of VENDOR's assets. The consent by GTECH to any
assignment shall not constitute a waiver of the need for consents for
any further assignments. GTECH may not unreasonably withhold consent to
an assignment, and shall restrict its basis for withholding consent to
the proposed assignee's status as a competitor to GTECH, an entity of
inferior financial status to VENDOR or an entity whose business
practices are such that the likelihood of breach is increased.

printer for an order of * or more printers. VENDOR shall fill
the Initial Order with Magnetec Printers.
2. VENDOR shall deliver the Initial Order on a level loaded
weekly basis for fifty (50) weeks between January 1, 2000 and
December 31, 2000 as stated in Attachment 3, and shall deliver
all subsequent orders on a similar basis for the appropriate
period of the order.

parts.
5. Prices for spare parts and assembly fixtures will be
determined by Attachment 2A1, 2A2, and 2A3 through January,
2001. Prices for spare parts after January 2001 will be
re-negotiated on or before November 2000. The good faith
re-negotiation of spare part prices will be based upon
VENDOR's volume of purchased material and assemblies as
required to support the requirements specified in Attachment
3, and those beyond the requirements specified in Attachment
3. If negotiations are not completed by November 2000, the
prices will remain in effect.
6. After 2000, GTECH shall place its annual orders, if any, by

of design and only for the subsequent year's production. In
that event, the price of each Magnetec Printer shall be
reduced by one half of any such approved cost reduction.
* Confidential treatment requested.
-27-
<PAGE> 28
8. VENDOR's pricing for the Modified Printer will be based on the
prices/volumes for the Initial Order set forth in Paragraph 1

III. Prices also will be adjusted to reflect any cost
saving achieved in accordance with Paragraph 9 of
this Attachment.
9. The parties will seek ways to reduce the costs of producing
the Modified Printer and the spare parts for that printer and

end, VENDOR will provide a costed Bill Of Material for the
Modified Printer to GTECH within ten (10) days of final
approval of the Modified Printer design by both GTECH and
VENDOR after a full life test. The pricing for the Modified
Printer will be reduced only where a cost reduction related to
a committed volume has been approved by GTECH and VENDOR as to
both dollar amount and feasibility of design and only for the
subsequent year's production. The pricing shall be reduced by
one half of any such approved cost reduction.
10. In the event GTECH and VENDOR approve the use of the Axiohm
printhead in the Modified Printer, VENDOR will reduce the
price of the Modified Printer by $52 to cover the elimination
of the Magnetec printhead, adjusted in accordance with

Axiohm printhead to VENDOR at no charge to VENDOR. VENDOR will
bill back to GTECH and GTECH shall pay any reasonable costs
associated with quality control, warranty, and production
issues caused by the Axiohm printhead. At the expiration of
this Agreement, VENDOR shall have no right to use the Axiohm
printhead.
