Recent Developments

Current Business and Economic Trends

Global macroeconomic conditions have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company’s operations and overall financial performance during the six months ended June 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 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.

Tariffs

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. 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.

These tariffs impact certain goods that are assembled and imported into the U.S. 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 potential impact of tariffs on goods sold into the U.S. through alternative sourcing or manufacturing. We currently mitigate 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 continues to monitor and evaluate the ongoing impact of these tariffs but does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial condition.

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.

The continued effects of 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. For information regarding the risks related to our manufacturer in Thailand and global economic conditions, please see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the 2025 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The presentation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our critical accounting estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and share-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates from the information presented in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” since the filing of the 2025 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations: Three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to three 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 three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

* International sales do not include sales of printers and terminals made to domestic distributors or other domestic customers who may, in turn, ship those printers and terminals to international destinations.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2026 increased $0.2 million, or 1%, 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. Printer, terminal and other hardware unit sales volume increased 6% to approximately 27,800 units, due primarily to a 6% unit sales volume increase in the casino and gaming market, partially offset by a 7% 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 2% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. FST software, labels and other recurring revenue increased $0.4 million, or 14%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to increased software and label sales.

International sales for the second quarter of 2026 increased $100 thousand, or 4%, from the same period in 2025 due primarily to increased sales in our casino and gaming market.

FST. Our primary offering in the FST market is our line of BOHA! products. The BOHA! product suite combines our latest generation terminal or workstation, which includes one or two printers, with our BOHA! labeling, timers, and media software. In addition, customers may individually purchase cloud-based software applications for our terminal or workstation. These applications can be integrated with separate mobile devices to create 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 applications for both Android and iOS operating systems, including applications for temperature monitoring, temperature taking and checklists 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 sensors and gateways. The BOHA! Terminal 2 and the newly launched Terminal 2 LTE 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, and 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 2 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 (“QSRs”), convenience stores, hospitality establishments 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 and service contracts, and technical support services.

Sales of our worldwide FST products for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The increase in FST sales in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 of $0.4 million, or 9%, was driven by an increase in both software and label sales. Hardware sales were relatively flat in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. FST software, labels and other recurring revenue increased 14% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due largely to stronger software sales (up 47%) and label sales (up 6%). The increase in software sales was driven by price increases.

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 revenue (including the sale of software, BOHA! labels, and other recurring revenue).

POS automation: In the POS automation market, we sell our Ithaca 9000 printer, which utilizes thermal printing technology. Our POS printer is used primarily by McDonald’s, and to a lesser extent, other QSRs either at the checkout counter, grill station or within self-service kiosks to print receipts for consumers or print on linerless labels. In the POS automation market, we primarily sell our products through a network of domestic distributors and resellers.

Sales of our POS automation products for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

POS sales were consistent in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. We believe sales have normalized at a 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 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 sold both directly and through certain casino system providers on a subscription basis. EPICENTRAL enables casino operators to create promotional coupons and marketing messages and to print them in real time at the slot machine. Sales of our worldwide casino and gaming products for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Domestic sales of our casino and gaming products for the second 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 would have been $8.3 million, or up $0.7 million and 9% from the second 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 in 2022 and 2023. Sales in the second quarter 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 $0.3 million or 17% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second 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 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

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.

We expect TSG sales to remain 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 three 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 second quarter of 2026, gross profit increased $0.4 million, or 5%, and gross margin increased 200 basis points to 50% due in part to increased sales of FST recurring revenue (software, labels and other recurring revenue) which carry higher average margins than our other product offerings.

We expect gross margin for 2026 to be in the mid-to high-40% range.

Operating Expenses - Engineering, Design and Product Development. Engineering, design and product development expense information for the three 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 $0.5 million, or 29%, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due largely to a reduction in external consulting fees and lower bonus expense. Also, management capitalized 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 (see Note 2).

Operating Expenses - Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense information for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

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 $0.6 million, or 30%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second 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.

Operating Expenses - General and Administrative. General and administrative information for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

General and administrative expenses primarily include salaries, incentive and share-based 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, professional and legal expenses, information technology expenses, board of director expenses and other expenses related to being a publicly traded company. General and administrative expenses increased $12 thousand, or 0.4%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Executive separation and associated legal expenses were partially offset by lower bonus and incentive compensation expense.

Operating Loss. Operating loss for the three months ended June 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):

* International sales do not include sales of printers and terminals made to domestic distributors or other domestic customers who may, in turn, ship those printers and terminals to international destinations.

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):

25

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. This was partially offset by increased overhead costs and general inflation.

We expect gross margin for 2026 to be in the mid-to high-40% range.

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.

Operating Expenses - Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense information for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

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 $0.7 million, or 18%, in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the first six months 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.

Operating Expenses - General and Administrative. General and administrative information for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

General and administrative expenses primarily include salaries, incentive and share-based 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, professional and legal expenses, information technology expenses, board of director expenses and other expenses related to being a publicly traded company. General and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 5%, during the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025. Higher executive separation and stock compensation expenses were partially offset by lower bonus and salary expenses.

Operating Income (Loss). Operating income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is summarized below (in thousands, except percentages):

* Not meaningful

Our operating income (loss) improved by $1.0 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 due largely to a $1.5 million, or 6% increase in sales and a resulting $1.2 million increase in gross profit, combined with relatively flat operating expenses (operating expenses increased only $0.3 million, or 2%, in the first six months of 2026, compared to the first six months of 2025).

Interest, net. We recorded net interest income of $125 thousand in the first six months of 2026 compared to $62 thousand in the first six months of 2025. For both periods, 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 first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months 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 first six months of 2026 we recognized $73 thousand of foreign exchange losses compared to $178 thousand of foreign exchange gains in the first six months 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 first six months of 2026 of $53 thousand compared to income tax expense during the first six months of 2025 of $91 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 assessed 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 first six months of 2026 and the first six months of 2025. Our tax expense for both periods only include taxes associated with earnings in the United Kingdom and minimum required state taxes in the United States.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

In the first six months of 2026, our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased $1.0 million, or 5%, from December 31, 2025. We ended the second quarter of 2026 with $19.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $0.3 million was held by our UK subsidiary.

Operating activities: The following significant factors affected our cash provided by operating activities of $1.2 million for the first six months of 2026 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $3.4 million for the first six months of 2025:

During the first six months of 2026:

• We reported net income of $716 thousand.
• We recorded depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million and share-based compensation expense of $1.0 million.
• Accounts receivable increased $4.0 million due largely to the timing of payments from large customers at June 30, 2026.
• Inventories decreased $1.7 million due to casino and gaming demand and a focus on inventory management.
• Account payable increased $1.5 million due to the timing of cash payments and overseas purchases of inventory.

During the first six months of 2025:

• We reported a net loss of $124 thousand.
• We recorded depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million and share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million.
• Accounts receivable increased $1.2 million due to the increase in sales as discussed in our Results of Operations above.
• Inventories decreased $3.4 million as we worked down our elevated inventory levels on hand, in part due to increased sales.
• Accounts payable decreased $0.6 million consistent with our decrease in inventory.
• Accrued liabilities and other liabilities increased $1.0 million due largely to higher accruals for incentive compensation as discussed in our Results of Operations above.

Investing activities: Our capital expenditures were $137 thousand for the first six months of 2026 compared to $29 thousand for the first six months of 2025. Expenditures for both periods were primarily for computer and networking equipment and new tooling equipment. We also paid $2.0 million in capitalized software development costs during the first six months of 2026 related to our purchase of a copy of the source code related to our BOHA! line of products.

Financing activities: Financing activities used $93 thousand of cash during the first six months of 2026 compared to $50 thousand in cash used during the first six months of 2025. These amounts relate to cash used to pay withholding taxes on stock issued from our stock compensation plans.

Resource Sufficiency

Over the past two years, we have been impacted by global supply chain issues, increased shipping and tariff costs, increased interest rates and inflationary pressures. After experiencing lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic through 2022, our operating results and operating cash flow improved significantly during 2023 due largely to certain competitors’ inability to supply products in both the POS automation and casino and gaming markets. 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. Given the continued uncertainty related to the impact of external factors on the food service and casino industries, we continue to monitor our cash generation, usage and preservation including the management of working capital to generate cash.

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 expenditures, fund the remaining payments for the source code purchase 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.

Credit Facility

We are party to a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2020 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”), with Siena Lending Group LLC (the “Lender”) that provides for a revolving credit line of up to $10.0 million, subject to a borrowing base based on 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (a) $5.0 million and (b) 50% of eligible raw material and 60% of finished goods inventory (the “Siena Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility bear a floating rate of interest equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate plus 1.75%, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 2.25%, and (iii) 6.50%. We also pay a fee of 0.50% on unused borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all the assets of the Company.

The Siena Credit Facility imposes a financial covenant on the Company requiring that the Company maintain excess availability of at least $750 thousand under the Siena Credit Facility, tested as of the end of each calendar month and restricts, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness and create other liens. We have remained in compliance with our excess availability covenant through June 30, 2026.

The Company is required to either maintain outstanding borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility of at least $3.0 million in principal amount, or during any period during which the Lender has control of the Company’s deposit account in accordance with the Loan Agreement, to pay interest on at least $3.0 million principal amount of loans, whether or not such amount of loans is actually outstanding. The maturity date of the Siena Credit Facility is March 31, 2027.

As of June 30, 2026, we had $3.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility at an interest rate of 8.50%. We had $2.8 million of net borrowing capacity available under the Siena Credit Facility at June 30, 2026.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Information regarding risk factors appears under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K. The risks identified in the 2025 Form 10-K are the currently known risks facing our Company that management deems to be material to the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
