The accompanying unaudited financial statements of TransAct Technologies Incorporated (“TransAct”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP to be included in full year financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal recurring nature.  The December 31, 20212022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

The financial position and results of operations of our U.K. subsidiary are measured using the local currency as the functional currency.  Assets and liabilities of such subsidiary have been translated at the end-of-period exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses have been translated at the exchange rate as of the date the transaction was recognized, with the resulting translation gain or loss recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.  Transaction gains and losses are included in “Other, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022.

See Note 9 for a discussion of a change in accounting principle which occurred in the second quarter of 2022. TransAct changed its method of inventory valuation from standard costing which approximates first-in first-out (“FIFO”) to the average costing methodology. All prior periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted to apply the new method of accounting.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemicPandemic and Global Supply Chain DisruptionsIssues
Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to cause uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets, such as increased shipping and logistics costs and supply chain disruptions.markets.  We have also been impacted by global supply chain issues, increased shipping costs and inflationary pressures, which have increased our costs and, in some instances, slowed our ability to deliver products to our customers.  During 2021, our inventory levels decreased significantly as a result of these supply chain disruptions, and we experienced significantly lower sales levels because of the global economic slowdown.levels.  However, during the first nine months of 2022 we have beenwere able to increase our inventory levels and minimize the impact to our customers by successfully modifying our products that were affected by supply chain disruptions, as well as sourcing component parts from alternate suppliers.  This strategy allowed us to meet expanding customer demands and significantly grow our sales after the first quarter of 2022 as the pandemic eased.  Although we have beenwere able to increase inventory levels during 2022 and expect to continue to do so in the first nine monthsbalance of 2022,2023, there can be no assurance that new or continuing supply chain disruptions will not affect our products or that we will be able to make timely modifications to address any future supply chain issues that arise.  Further, while we have offset most of our cost increases by increasing prices of our products, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to offset any future cost increases should they arise.  After a slowdown in the first quarter of 2022 resulting from the Omicron and other variants of COVID-19, we have continued to experience demand recovery induring the second and third quartersremainder of 2022. WeBased on our strong backlog and continued market share expansion due to certain competitors’ inability to supply product, we expect this recovery to continue duringinto 2023, though the remainderfuture timing and pace of 2022.recovery may be impacted by global economic conditions.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Liquidity. We have taken the following actions to increase liquidity and strengthen our financial position in an effort to mitigate the negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures:
Public Offering – On October 16, 2020 and August 16, 2021, the Company raised net proceeds of $8.7 million and $11.2 million (including the exercise of the underwriters overallotment options on October 16, 2020 and August 20, 2021), respectively, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, through underwritten public offerings in which we sold an aggregate of 1,380,000 and 842,375 shares of common stock, respectively.

PPP Loan – On May 1, 2020, the Company was granted a $2.2 million loan (the “PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) established under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES Act”).  On July 8, 2021, we received notice that the PPP Loan had been forgiven as of July 1, 2021.  See Note 5 for further details regarding the PPP Loan.
Employee Retention Credit – Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company wasis eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria.  In connection with the CARES Act, the Company recognized the employee retention credit during the fourth quarter of 2021 as aand recorded $1.5 million as “Gain from employee retention credit” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and recorded a $1.5 millionthe related receivable as “Employee retention credit receivable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetsSheet as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.2021 and 2022.  We expect to receivereceived these funds withinin the next twelve months.first quarter of 2023.
Credit Facility -- On March 13, 2020, we entered into a new credit facilityCredit Facility with Siena Lending Group LLC (the “Lender”) that provides a revolving credit line of up to $10.0$10.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, and on July 19, 2022, we entered into an amendment to extend the maturity of the facility to March 13, 2025.  See Note 5 for further details regarding this facility.
Reduced Capital Expenditures – We limited capital expenditures during 2020 and 2021 and are gradually increasing expenditures during 2022 as sales improve.

After reviewing whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations over the 12 months following the issuance date ofon which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”),were issued, including consideration of the actions taken to manage expenses and liquidity, we believe that our net cash to be provided by operations combined with our cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, capital spending, and working capital requirements and to comply with the financial covenants of our credit facility over at least 12 months following such issuance date.the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued.

Use of Assumptions and Estimates
Management’s belief that the Company will be able to fund its planned operations over the 12 months following the date on which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued is based on assumptions which involve significant judgment and estimates of future revenues, inflation, rising interest rates, capital expenditures and other operating costs. Our current assumptions are that casinos and restaurants will remain open and consumer traffic will continue to increaseremain strong during the balanceremainder of 2022.2023. Though demand for our products at casinos has increased substantially in 2022, and we expect this trend to continue, we cannot predict the ultimate impact of the current economic environment, including inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain disruptions on our customers, which may impact sales. We believe that we are positioned to withstand the impact of any potential economic downturn or slower than anticipated economic recovery. However, despite our recent large backlog of orders and increasing market share, should such conditions arise,warrant, we believe we will be able to take additional financial and operational actions to cut costs and/or increase liquidity.

In addition, the presentation of the accompanying unaudited 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 estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, depreciable lives of equipment, warranty obligations, share-based compensation and contingent liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates used.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.  See Note 9 for a discussion of a change in accounting policy which occurred in the second quarter of 2022.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policiessignificant accounting policies within Part II, Item 8,8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.  Other than as described in Note 9 of this Form 10Q, there2022.  There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU and its related amendments (collectively, the “Credit Loss Standard”) modifies the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Credit Loss Standard requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, including historical information, current economic conditions and a reasonable forecast period. This Credit Loss Standard requires that the statement of operations reflect estimates of expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as changes in the estimate of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period, which may result in earlier recognition of certain losses.

We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2023, and this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our sales of products and software to commercial customers which are recorded as Accounts receivable, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our method for developing our allowance for credit losses involves making informed judgments regarding whether an adjustment is necessary to our historical loss experiences to reflect our expectations around current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast periods, where applicable. We utilize current economic market data as well as other internal and external information available to us to inform our decision making in this process.

Contract balances

Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables.  Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced.  An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer. Unbilled receivables are separated into current and non-current assets and included within “Accounts receivable, net” and “Other assets” in non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities consist of customer pre-payments and deferred revenue.  Customer prepayments are reported as “Accrued liabilities” in current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and represent customer payments made in advance of performance obligations in instances where credit has not been extended and are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is complete.  Deferred revenue is reported separately in current liabilities and non-current liabilities and consists of our extended warranty contracts, technical support for our food service technology terminals, EPICENTRAL®EPICENTRAL maintenance contracts and prepaid software subscriptions for our BOHA! software applications, and is recognized as revenue as (or when) we perform under the contract.  For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, we recognized revenue of $0.80.9 million related to our contract liabilities at December 31, 20212022. Total net contract liabilities consisted of the following:

Remaining performance obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which a good or service has not been delivered to our customer.  As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations was $19.0$20.4 million.  The Company expects to recognize revenue of $18.5$20.2 million of its remaining performance obligations within the next 12 months following September 30, 2022, $0.4March 31, 2023, $0.2 million within the next 24 months following September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and the balance of these remaining performance obligations recognized within the next 36 months following September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

5. Debt

Credit Facility

On March 13, 2020, we entered into a credit facility (the “Siena Credit Facility”) with the Lender and terminated our credit facility with TD Bank, N.A.Siena Lending Group LLC (the “Lender”).  The Siena Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit line of up to $10.0 million and was originally scheduled to expire on March 13, 2023. 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%. The total deferred financing costs related to expenses incurred to complete the Siena Credit Facility was $245 thousand, which were reported as “Other current assets” in current assets and “Other assets” in non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.
11


The Siena Credit Facility imposes a financial covenant on the Company and borrowings are subject to a borrowing base based on (i) 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 and restricts, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness and create other liens. The three-month period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was the first period we were subject to the original financial covenant, which required the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA and continued through the 12-month period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. On July 21, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (“Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 1”) to the Siena Credit Facility. Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 1 changed the financial covenant under the Siena Credit Facility from a minimum EBITDA covenant to an excess availability covenant 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, beginning with the calendar month ending July 31, 2021. From July 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022,through March 31, 2023, we remained in compliance with our excess availability covenant. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $2.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility and $2.5$6.4 million of net borrowing capacity available under the Siena Credit Facility.

On July 19, 2022, the Company and the Lender entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2”) to the Siena Credit Facility, as amended by Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 1.  Also on July 19, 2022, the Company and the Lender entered into an Amended and Restated Fee Letter (the “Amended Fee Letter”) in connection with the Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2. The Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2 did not modify the aggregate amount of the revolving commitment or the interest rate applicable to the loans.

The changes to the Siena Credit Facility provided for in Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2 include, among other things, the following:

(i) The extension of the maturity date from March 13, 2023 to March 13, 2025; and

(ii) The termination of the existing blocked account control agreement and entry into a new “springing” deposit account control agreement, permitting the Company to direct the use of funds in its deposit account until such time as (a) the sum of excess availability under the Siena Credit Facility (as amended) and unrestricted cash is less than $5 million for 3 consecutive business days or (b) an event of default occurs and is continuing.

In addition, the Amended Fee Letter requires the Company, while it retains the ability to direct the use of funds in the deposit account, to maintain outstanding borrowings of at least $2,250,000 in principal amount. If the Company does not have the ability to direct the use of funds in the deposit account, then the Amended Fee Letter requires the Company to pay interest on at least $2,250,000 principal amount of loans, whether or not such amount of loans is actually outstanding.

PPP Loan

On May 1, 2020, the Company was granted the PPP Loan from Berkshire Bank in the aggregate amount of $2.2 million, pursuant to the PPP.  Under the terms of the PPP, the PPP Loan would be forgiven to the extent that funds from the PPP Loan were used for payroll costs and costs to continue group health care benefits, as well as for interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent under lease agreements in effect before February 15, 2020, utilities for which service began before February 15, 2020, and interest on debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, subject to conditions and limitations provided in the CARES Act.  At least 60% (under the PPP terms, as amended) of the proceeds from the PPP Loan were required to be used for eligible payroll costs for the PPP Loan to be forgiven.

On July 8, 2021, the Company received notifications from Berkshire Bank and the SBA that the PPP Loan (including all interest accrued thereon) of $2.2 million had been fully forgiven by the SBA and that the forgiveness payment date was July 1, 2021.  The forgiveness of the PPP Loan was reported as “Gain on forgiveness of long-term debt” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options and restricted stock units, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock award during the period, as the inclusion of these stock awards in the computation of diluted earnings would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, and 2021, there were 0.3 million and 0.3 million, respectively,943 thousand of potentially dilutive shares consisting of stock awards that were excluded from the calculation of earnings per diluted share.  For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, there were 1.6 million and 0.4 million, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares consisting of stock awards that were excluded from the calculation of earnings per diluted share.  InFurthermore, in  periods for which when a net loss is reported, such as the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, and 2021, basic and diluted net loss per common share are calculated using the same method.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock units, as determined by the treasury stock method, was less than one thousand shares and thus did not impact the rounded shares presented above.

We enter into lease agreements for the use of real estate space and certain equipment under operating leases and we have no financing leases. Our leases are included in “Right-of-use-assets” and “Lease liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Our leases have remainingvarious lease terms, of two to four years, some of which include options to extend. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On April 30, 2021, we entered into an amendment to modify the expiration date of our lease on our Hamden, Connecticut facility.  The lease, which was last amended on January 3, 2017, was scheduled to expire on April 30, 2027.  The lease amendment modified the expiration date to October 31, 2023 with an option to extend the lease for an additional two-year period, extending the expiration date to October 31, 2025.  The modification resulted in reducing the right-of-use-asset and lease liability by $0.3 million.

On April 26, 2022, we entered into an amendment to modify the expiration date of our lease on our Las Vegas, Nevada facility.  The lease was set to expire on November 1, 2022 and the amendment extended the lease term to November 30, 2025. The lease amendment resulted in an increase to the right-of-use-asset and lease liability of $0.8 million. The lease amendment modified the base rent and extended the lease term from October 31, 2022 to November 30, 2025.

Operating lease expense for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 was $261$237 thousand and $235$237 thousand, respectively, and is reported as “Cost of sales”, “Engineering, design and product development expense”, “Selling and marketing expense”, and “General and administrative expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $748 thousand and $717 thousand, respectively. Operating lease expenses include short-term lease costs, which were immaterial during the periods presented.

8. Income taxesTaxes

We recorded an income tax benefit forexpense in the thirdfirst quarter of 20222023 of $62 thousand$0.6 million at an effective tax rate of (13.3%)16.7%, compared to an income tax benefit forduring the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 of $442 thousand at an effective tax rate of (96.3%).  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022,  we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.3$1.4 million at an effective tax rate of (27.0%), compared to an income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $1.6 million at an23.8%.  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of (33.6%2023 is lower than the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 due to the impact from the research and development (“R&D”). credit.  In periods with pre-tax income, such as the first quarter of 2023, the R&D credit has the effect of lowering the effective tax rate.  In periods with pre-tax losses, such as first quarter of 2022, the R&D credit has the effect of raising the effective tax rate.

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in certain U.S. statesstate and foreign jurisdictions.  We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal, state and local income tax, and foreign tax regulatory examination matters through 2018.  However, our federal tax returns fromfor the years 2019 through 20212022 remain open to examination. Various U.S. state and foreign tax jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination as well, thoughbut we believe that any additional assessment would be immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $116 thousand of total gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.  For the third quarter of 2022, we recognized $28 thousand of previously unrecognized tax benefits as the statute of limitations on the use of our 2018 research and development credit expired during the third quarter of 2022.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision.  As of September 30, 2022, we had $20 thousand of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Management evaluates all jurisdictions based on historical pre-tax earnings and taxable income to determine the need forThe Company maintains a valuation allowances on a quarterly basis.  The three months ended September 30, 2022 benefitted from the remeasurement of ourallowance against certain deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with our operations in the United Kingdom.  Based on this analysis, we currently have no valuation allowances recorded for any jurisdiction.assets where realization is not certain.

9.  Change in accounting principleAccounting Method

Effective April 1, 2022, TransAct changed its method of inventory valuation from standard costing which approximates FIFO to the average costing methodology.  We believe this methodology is preferable because it reflects a better estimate of inventory cost as we do not typically perform intensive manufacturing of our finished products, which are therefore better measured under average cost.  In addition, our business is projected to include an increasing sales volume of software going forward, which better aligns with average costing.  Comparative financial statements of prior periods have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively.  Tax effects are calculated at the Company’s marginal tax rate, or the tax impact of incremental income changes rather than the average tax rate applied to our total net loss before income taxes.  The following financial statement line items for the periods presented were impacted by the change in accounting principle.

Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to cause uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets, such as increased shipping and logistics costs and supply chain disruptions.markets.  We have also been impacted by global supply chain issues, increased shipping costs and inflationary pressures, which have increased our costs and, in some instances, slowed our ability to deliver products to our customers.  During 2021, our inventory levels decreased significantly as a result of these supply chain disruptions, as well asand we experienced significantly lower sales levels.  However, during the first nine months of 2022 we have beenwere able to increase our inventory levels and minimize the impact to our customers by successfully modifying our products that were affected by supply chain disruptions, as well as sourcing component parts from alternate suppliers.  Although we have beenwere able to increase inventory levels during 2022 and expect to continue to do so during the first nine monthsbalance of 2022,2023, there can be no assurance that new or continuing supply chain disruptions will not affect our products or that we will be able to make timely modifications to address any future supply chain issues that arise.  Further, while we have offset most of our cost increases by increasing prices of our products, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to offset any future cost increases should they arise.  After a slowdown in the first quarter of 2022 resulting from the Omicron and other variants of COVID-19, we have continued to experience demand recovery induring the secondremainder of 2022 and third quartersthe first quarter of 2022.2023. Based on our strong backlog position and continued market share expansion due to certain competitors’ inability to supply product, we expect this recovery to continue during the remainder of 2022 and intothrough 2023, though the exactfuture timing and pace of recovery may be impacted by global economic conditions.

During 2020 and 2021, our gross margin was negatively impacted by significantly lower sales levels from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as increased material and shipping costs resulting from worldwide supply chain disruptions continuing into 2022.  However, we have seensaw significant sales improvement in the beginning in the second and third quartershalf of 2022 and continuing through the first quarter of 2023 resulting from significantly higher sales levels and price increases we instituted on our products to mitigate higher material and shipping costs.  Though we expect this trend to continue for the remainder of 2022,2023, our gross margin may be negatively impacted by the economic effects of any future cost increases that cannot be predicted, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and potential new COVID-19 variants on the markets we serve.

Although in 2022 we have continued to gradually return to more normalized pre-COVID-19 spending levels after implementing a number of cost saving measures in 2020 through 2022, we expect to continue to closely monitor our spending levels and implement expense management measures if and whenas circumstances warrant.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, our top priority has been to ensure the health and safety of our employees while continuing to provide our customers with high-quality, personalized service.  After instituting work-from-home practices in 2020, we have transitioned in 2022 to a more hybrid and flexible model to accommodate both our employees and the needs of the business.  In addition, even with the transition to a hybrid model, our internal control structure remains operational and unchanged.

We have evaluatedtaken the recoverability offollowing actions to increase liquidity and strengthen our financial position in an effort to mitigate the assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 in accordance with relevant authoritative accounting literature. We considered the disruptions caused bynegative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, including lower than previously forecasted sales and customer demand and macroeconomic factors potentially impacting accounts receivable, inventory, investments, intangible assets, goodwill and other assets and liabilities.  Where forward-looking estimates are required, we made a good-faith estimate based on information available as of the balance sheet date. We have continued to monitor for indicators of impairment through the date of this Report.pressures:

Employee Retention Credit – Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. In connection with the CARES Act, the Company recognized the employee retention credit during the fourth quarter of 2021 as a $1.5 million “Gain from employee retention credit” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and recorded a $1.5 million “Employee retention credit receivable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We received these funds in the first quarter of 2023.

Credit Facility – On March 13, 2020, we entered into a new credit facility with Siena Lending Group LLC that provides a revolving credit line of up to $10.0 million, subject to a borrowing base and on July 19, 2022, we entered into an amendment to extend the maturity of the facility to March 13, 2025.  See Note 5 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this facility.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance that the actions we have taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressuresinflation are sufficient or adequate, and we may be required to take additional preventive or responsive measures, as the ultimate extent of the effects of the current economic environment and the COVID-19 pandemicthese risks on the Company, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows are uncertain and are dependent on evolving developments which cannot be predicted at this time.  See Part I, Item 1A, “RiskRisk Factors,” in our 2021 of the 2022 Form 10-K and other filings we make with the SEC from time to time, for further discussion of risks related to the COVID-19, pandemic.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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 estimates include those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, depreciable lives of equipment, warranty obligations, share-based compensation and contingent liabilities.  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 judgements and estimates from the information presented in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 20212022 Form 10-K.

The large increase in domestic sales of our casino and gaming products for the thirdfirst quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 of $1.1 million, or 42%, was primarily due to an across-the-board increase in OEM printer sales, and price increasesdriven primarily by a 316% increase in domestic sales of our thermal casino printers as we experience continuedour business has experienced a strong recovery andfrom the COVID-19 pandemic.  We believe we are increasinghave significantly increased our market share compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2021 when the2022 due to our largest competitor’s inability to supply product due to supply chain issues.

Though we successfully increased printer productionsales during the thirdfirst quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 our casino sales were still somewhat tempered by the continued global chip shortage that limited our printer production during the third quarter of 2022.

Similar to the domestic sales increase, the international sales increase of our casino and gaming products for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2021 and was primarily due to a 224% increase in sales of our thermal casino printers.

The increase in food service technology sales of $0.2 million, or 2%, in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 was driven by an increase of 19% in sales of BOHA! software, labels and other recurring revenue, partially offset by a decrease of 21% in hardware sales.  This increase was primarily due to increased label sales and, to a lesser extent, increased software sales, compared to the prior year period due principally to the growth of the installed base of our BOHA! terminals and workstations.  Hardware sales decreased 21% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 due largely to lower sales to a national convenience store customer.

Domestic sales of our casino and gaming products increased by $3.4 million, or 48%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in domestic sales and price increases in our thermal casino printers, as we have experienced a continued recovery and believe we are increasing our market share during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  We also completed an installation of EPICENTRAL software at a new casino during the second quarter of 2022 that contributed to the overall increase in domestic sales.

International sales of our casino and gaming products increased by $5.2 million, or 159%, in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021.  Sales of our thermal casino printers increased 162% and sales of our off-premises gaming printers increased 137%.  These increases are attributable to the recovery of the international markets after significant negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2021 period as well as increased sales volume due to our increasing market share.

Domestic revenue from TSG declined $0.9 million, or 23%, for the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2022.  The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of replacement parts for legacy lottery printers. The decline was largely driven by a 27% decrease in sales of replacement parts primarily for legacy lottery printers and a 13% year-over-year decrease in service revenue.

Internationally, TSG revenue increased $0.4 million, or 104%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to a 156% increase in sales of replacement parts and accessories to international casino and gaming customers, partially offset by an 88% decline in service revenue over the comparable period.

For the first nine months of 2022, gross profit increased $5.1 million, or 46%, due largely to a sales increase of 42% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021.  This increase is a result of a higher volume of sales, a more favorable product mix, and the effect from two rounds of price increases we instituted late in the first quarter of 2022 and again in September 2022 to mitigate higher product and shipping costs related to the worldwide supply chain disruptions.

Engineering, design and product development expenses increased $1.0 million, or 18%, during the first nine months of 2022 compared to first nine months of 2021, resulting from a gradual return to more normalized pre-COVID-19 spending levels, as well as from the impact from the hiring of additional engineering staff in late 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 for continued development of our food service technology products.  These increases were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives we instituted that took full effect in the third quarter of 2022.

Selling and marketing expenses increased $3.6 million, or 71%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 primarily due to investment spending for our FST sales and marketing groups.  During the first nine months of 2022, we initiated BOHA! market studies, increased marketing programs and hired additional sales staff to support our BOHA! products.  In addition to these investments, we incurred higher sales commissions, travel expenses and tradeshow expenses, as we gradually return to pre-COVID-19 spending levels, compared to the lower level of spending during the first nine months of 2021 resulting from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives we instituted that took full effect in the third quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 27%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to first nine months of 2021 due to higher professional fees (including legal fees related to a shareholder matter that was resolved in March 2022 when we entered into a Cooperation Agreement with two shareholders), salary increases, the hiring of additional staff, recruiting fees, and depreciation and other expenses related to the implementation of a new ERP system that went live in April 2022.  These increases were partially offset by a reduction in incentive compensation expense during the first nine months of 2022.

Our operating loss increased $1.4 million, or 21%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 as a $5.1 million, or 46%, increase in gross profit on 42% higher sales was more than offset by a $6.5 million, or 36%, increase in operating expenses during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021.

Interest, net. We recorded net interest expense of $145 thousand for the first nine months of 2022 compared to net interest expense of $71 thousand for the first nine months of 2021.  The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to lower interest income earned from the note receivable to a third-party software developer that was collected in March 2021.  Interest expense has increased during 2022 and we expect will continue to increase during the remainder of 2022 due to required minimum borrowings pursuant to the terms of the July 2022 Credit Facility Amendment No. 2 along with interest rate increases in the broader financial markets.

Other, net. We recorded other expense of $167 thousand for the first nine months of 2022 compared to other expense of $169 thousand for the first nine months of 2021.  These losses are primarily attributable to foreign exchange losses recorded by our U.K. subsidiary largely due to a weakening of the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar during both periods.

Gain on Forgiveness of Long-Term Debt. We recorded a $2.2 million gain on forgiveness of the PPP Loan that occurred in the third quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes.We recorded an income tax benefit for the first nine months of 2022 of $2.3 million at an effective tax rate of (27.0%), compared to an income23.8%. The effective tax benefitrate for the first nine monthsquarter of 2021 of $1.6 million at an2023 is lower than the effective tax rate of (33.6%).  The tax rate benefit recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was unusually highfirst quarter of 2022 due to the impact from the R&D credit.  In periods with pre-tax income, such as it included the recognitionfirst quarter of 2023, the gain onR&D credit has the forgivenesseffect of lowering the PPP Loan which is not taxable.effective tax rate.  In periods with pre-tax losses, such as first quarter of 2022, the R&D credit has the effect of raising the effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow
For the first ninethree months of 2022,2023, our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased $1.3 million from December 31, 2022. We ended the first quarter of 2023 with $6.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $0.2 million was held by $13.1 million to $6.4 million as of September 30, 2022 due primarily to higher accounts receivable associated with higher sales volumes, increased inventory related to strategic inventory purchases in response to the global supply chain crisis and a reported net loss for the period, offset by proceeds from bank borrowings of $2.3 million.our U.K. subsidiary.

Operating activities:  The following significant factors affected our cash used in operating activities of $14.2$0.8 million for the first ninethree months of 20222023 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $3.9$6.8 million for the first ninethree months of 2021:2022:

Employee retention credit receivable decreased $1.5 million due to the collection of this receivable in the first quarter of 2023.
Accounts payable was down $2.8 million in 2023 due largely to the sell through of inventory on-hand at the end of 2022 as well as the timing of vendor payments.

During the first three months of 2022:

We recorded depreciation and amortization of $1.0$0.2 million, and share-based compensation expense of $0.9$0.3 million.

constraints.
Deferred income taxes increased $1.5 million due in large part to continued losses.
Other current and long-term assets increased $0.2$0.8 million, or 68%, due primarily to prepaid expenses relatedcustomer cash deposits made during the last week of March 2022 that were automatically swept from our bank account by the Lendor pursuant to tradeshows held inan arrangement made under the Siena Credit Facility.  These funds are typically redeposited to our bank account before each quarter but were not returned until April 1, 2022.
Accounts payable decreased $0.4 million, or 9%, due primarily to the payment of inventory purchases made during the fourth quarter of 2021.
Accounts payableAccrued liabilities and other liabilities decreased $0.2$0.3 million, or 3%, due primarily to a decreasethe payment of 2021 annual bonuses in inventory purchases made during the third quarter of 2021.March 2022, somewhat offset by higher accrued legal expenses and accrued salaries.

Investing activities:  Our capital expenditures were $1.0 million$378 thousand for the first ninethree months of 20222023 compared to $0.8 million$496 thousand for the first nine monthsquarter of 2021.2022.  Expenditures in 2023 were for computer and networking equipment and new tooling equipment.  Expenditures in 2022 were primarily related to the implementation costs of a new ERP system.  Expendituressystem that was completed in 2021 were primarily related to our new ERP system,April 2022 and computer and networking equipment and new product tooling equipment.  During the first nine months of 2021, we limited our capital expenditures to help preserve liquidity amidst the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Investing activities also provided $1.6 million in the first nine months of 2021 for the collection of the remaining $1.6 million note receivable balance from an unaffiliated third party.

Financing activities:  Financing activities provided $2.1 millionused $86 thousand and $119 thousand of cash induring the first ninethree months of 2023 and 2022, primarily duerespectively, to proceeds received from the Siena Credit Facility.  This increase was partially offset by $0.1 millionpay for the payment of withholding taxes on stock issued from our stock compensation plans.

Resource Sufficiency
Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to cause uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets.  We have also been impacted by global supply chain issues, increased shipping costs and inflationary pressures.  Given the unprecedented uncertainty related to the impact of these external factors on the food service and casino industries, the Company continues to monitor its 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 compensation plans and $69 thousand for the payment of financing costs associated with Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2). Duringwill provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital needs, finance our capital expenditures and meet our liquidity requirements through at least the first nine monthsnext twelve months.  Notwithstanding this belief, the duration and extent of 2021, financing activities provided $11.5 millionthese global economic pressures and the future of cash primarily fromCOVID-19 variants remain uncertain and the completionultimate impact of an underwritten public offering which provided net proceeds of $11.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses and, to a lesser extent, proceeds of $0.3 million from stock option exercises.  These increases were partially offset by $0.1 million for the payment of withholding taxes on stock issued under our stock compensation plans and $31 thousand on the final payment of financing costs associated with the original Siena Credit Facility.these global pressures is unknown.

Credit Facility and Borrowings
On March 13, 2020, we entered into the Loan and Security Agreement governing the Siena Credit Facility with Siena Lending Group LLC (the “Lender”) and terminated our credit facility with TD Bank N.A. The Siena Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit line of up to $10.0 million and was originally scheduled to expire on March 13, 2023.  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%. The total deferred financing costs related to expenses incurred to complete the Siena Credit Facility were $245 thousand. 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. Borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base based on (i) 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 imposes a financial covenant on the Company and restricts, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness and the creation of other liens. The three-month period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was the first period we were subject to the original financial covenant, which required the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA and continued through the 12-month period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. On July 21, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Siena(“Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 1”) to the Siena Credit Facility. The Siena Credit Facility Amendment NoNo. 1 changed the financial covenant under the Siena Credit Facility from a minimum EBITDA covenant to an excess availability covenant 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, beginning with the calendar month endingended July 31, 2021.  From July 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022,through March 31, 2023, we have beenremained in compliance with our excess availability covenant. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had $2.3 million inof outstanding borrowings under the Siena Credit Facility and $2.5$6.4 million of net available borrowing capacity available under the Siena Credit Facility.

On July 19, 2022, the Company and the Lender entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Siena(“Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2020, between the Lender and the Company,Siena Credit Facility as amended by Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 1, dated as of July 21, 2021, between the Lender and the Company.1.  Also on July 19, 2022, the Company and the Lender entered into an Amended and Restated Fee Letter (the “Amended Fee Letter”) in connection with the Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2. The Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2 did not modify the aggregate amount of the revolving commitment or the interest rate applicable to the loans.loans.

The changes to the Siena Credit Facility provided for in the Siena Credit Facility Amendment No. 2 include,included, among other things, the following:

(i)The extension of the maturity date from March 13, 2023 to March 13, 2025; and

(ii)The termination of the existing blocked account control agreement and entry into a new “springing” deposit account control agreement, permitting the Company to direct the use of funds in its deposit account until such time as (a) the sum of excess availability under the Siena Credit Facility and unrestricted cash is less than $5 million for 3 consecutive business days or (b) an event of default occurs and is continuing.

In addition, the Amended Fee Letter requires the Company, while it retains the ability to direct the use of funds in the deposit account, to maintain outstanding borrowings of at least $2,250,000 in principal amount. If the Company does not have the ability to direct the use of funds in the deposit account, then the Amended Fee Letter requires the Company to pay interest on at least $2,250,000 principal amount of loans, whether or not such amount of loans is actually outstanding.
