</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2001,
Transcat, Inc. (&#147;Transcat&#148;) sold Transmation Products Group to Fluke
Electronics Corporation (&#147;Fluke&#148;) for $11.0&nbsp;million (which included a $0.5&nbsp;million prepayment for
various leases). In connection with the sale, Transcat entered into a distribution agreement
(&#147;Distribution Agreement&#148;) with Fluke to be the exclusive worldwide distributor of Transmation and
Altek products until December&nbsp;31, 2006. Under the Distribution Agreement, Transcat also agreed to
purchase a pre-determined amount of inventory from Fluke. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5E,
Accounting for Divestiture of a Subsidiary or Other Business Operation, precluded Transcat from
recognizing the gain associated with the sale for accounting purposes until the purchase
commitments were either substantially modified or expired (by virtue of the terms of the
Distribution Agreement or as a result of Transcat meeting its purchase commitments).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;31, 2002, with an effective date of September&nbsp;1, 2002, Transcat entered into a new
distribution agreement (&#147;New Agreement&#148;) with Fluke, which replaced the Distribution Agreement.
Under the terms of the New Agreement, among other items, Transcat agreed to purchase a larger,
pre-determined amount of inventory across a broader array of products and brands during each
calendar year through 2006. Transcat&#146;s purchases for calendar years 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005
exceeded the commitment under the New Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As previously reported in Transcat&#146;s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;25, 2006, Form
10-Q for the fiscal year 2007 first quarter ended June&nbsp;24, 2006, and Form 10-Q for the fiscal year
2007 second quarter ended September&nbsp;23, 2006, Transcat expected to meet its purchase commitments
for calendar year 2006, and, accordingly, also expected to recognize the deferred gain on the sale
of Transmation Products Group to Fluke in the fiscal year 2007 third fiscal quarter ending on
December&nbsp;23, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fluke has recently confirmed to Transcat that Transcat has met all of its purchase commitments
and contractual obligations under the New Agreement through calendar year 2006. Accordingly,
Transcat will recognize approximately $1.5&nbsp;million gain on the sale (net of a reversal of a
deferred tax asset of approximately $0.6&nbsp;million), which has been deferred since fiscal year 2002,
in the fiscal year 2007 third quarter ending on December&nbsp;23, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once the New Agreement ends on December&nbsp;31, 2006, Transcat expects to enter into another
distribution agreement (&#147;Future Agreement&#148;) with Fluke. Transcat is in discussions with Fluke
regarding the Future Agreement and although these discussions have not yet been completed, as part
of the Future Agreement, Fluke has agreed that Transcat will remain the exclusive worldwide
distributor of Transmation and Altek products, subject to certain minimum product purchase
requirements.
