Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On September 26, 2006, we announced a plan under which we will concentrate our efforts and resources on growth-oriented opportunities in certain markets where the Company has strong market positions. These opportunities include printer sales in the casino, gaming, lottery, and banking markets, as well as printer supplies and services provided by our TransAct Services Group (“TSG”). As part of this plan, we will remain engaged in the point-of-sale (“POS”) market, but will reduce our sales, marketing and engineering expenses associated with this business. As a result of the cost reduction actions, we expect to incur a total charge in the third quarter of 2007 of approximately $150,000, primarily for severance resulting from the termination of several employees. We expect to realize cost savings of approximately $600,000 in 2008 as a result of the changes.

On September 26, 2007, TransAct Technologies Incorporated issued a press release announcing the action taken above. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

TRANSACT TO FOCUS ON GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

HAMDEN, CT, September 26, 2007 —TransAct Technologies Incorporated (NASDAQ: TACT) today announced a plan under which it will concentrate the Company’s efforts and resources on growth-oriented opportunities in certain markets where the Company has strong market positions. These opportunities include printer sales in the casino, gaming, lottery, and banking markets, as well as printer supplies and services provided by the Company’s TransAct Services Group (“TSG”).

As part of this plan, TransAct will remain engaged in the point-of-sale (“POS”) market, but will reduce its sales, marketing and engineering expenses associated with the business. The Company believes it can maintain its current level of POS revenue. As a result of the cost reduction actions, the Company expects to incur a charge in the third quarter of 2007 of approximately $150,000, primarily for severance resulting from the termination of several employees. TransAct expects to realize cost savings of approximately $600,000 in 2008 as a result of the changes.

Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, said, “With the continued expansion of the global gaming and casino market, and the expected next major slot machine upgrade cycle in the United States for server-based gaming, we have decided to focus our efforts on exploiting the significant opportunities we see in this market. In addition, we believe there are compelling growth opportunities in the worldwide banking market for our printers and also for our supplies and services business. These markets offer us the potential for substantial revenue growth, so we decided to strategically focus our resources to aggressively pursue opportunities where we believe we will be the most successful. Based on the overall market size, our solid market share and higher level of profitability in these markets, we believe these markets represent our best and most profitable growth potential. In addition, we expect to maintain most of our POS revenue at an improved operating margin given the lower support costs.”
