Excluding these items, pro forma net income in the first nine months of 2007 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. For further information regarding the presentation of pro forma non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the "Financial Presentation" paragraph below.

Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, said, "The third quarter of 2007 continued to be impacted by the slowdown in the domestic casino market, lower sales of our casino printer in Australia as this market gets ready for the ticket-in, ticket-out conversion, historically low sales to our lottery customer, and no new banking deals. In each case, we believe 2008 presents a much brighter picture for TransAct. Having already received approximately $7.7 million in thermal lottery printer orders for shipment in 2008, we believe that the growth of our lottery printer sales will have a positive impact on our financial results next year. Furthermore, we believe the softness we are experiencing in the domestic casino market could be nearing an end as server-based gaming becomes a reality and 'off-premise gaming' takes hold internationally."

Mr. Shuldman continued, "We recognize that we are spending a significant amount of money defending ourselves in the lawsuit initiated by FutureLogic who is attempting, among other things, to invalidate our patents. As part of the litigation, we are also taking steps to protect and enforce our dual port technology patents that we believe could be important to the gaming industry as it moves to server-based gaming. The lawsuit is moving very quickly and we are pleased with the results of the case so far. The trial has been scheduled on an accelerated basis for June 2008. We have incurred higher legal fees than anticipated in 2007 as a result of the accelerated schedule. We remain confident in the integrity and importance of our patents and their value to our shareholders."

Mr. Shuldman concluded, "Our Board of Directors recently approved a two-year extension of our stock repurchase program to March 31, 2010 with authorization to now repurchase up to $15 million of our common stock - an increase from the initial $10 million authorization. This action underscores the optimism we have in our prospects for 2008, the strength of our debt free balance sheet, and the projected $600,000 in cost savings we expect to achieve in 2008 based on the restructuring actions we completed in the third quarter of 2007." Financial Presentation The Company has provided pro forma non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that these amounts are helpful to investors and others to more accurately assess the ongoing nature of TransAct's core operations. The pro forma non-GAAP measures exclude the effect in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of legal fees related to the lawsuit with FutureLogic, Inc. and severance associated with the termination of certain employees. These items have been excluded from pro forma non-GAAP financial measures, as management does not believe that they are representative of underlying trends in the Company's performance. Their exclusion provides investors and others with additional information to more readily assess the Company's operating results. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures internally to focus management on the results of the Company's core business. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP information is not considered superior to or a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
