Basis of presentation [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting | 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, 2020 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, 2020.
Foreign Currency Translation | The financial position and results of operations of our U.K. subsidiary are measured using 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in “Other, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Use of Assumptions and Estimates | 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, capital expenditures and other operating costs. Our current assumptions are that casinos and restaurants remain open and continue to gradually increase capacity limitations during 2021, but that many casinos and restaurants may delay purchases of new slot machines and our BOHA! products, respectively, as their businesses gradually return to pre-pandemic levels of capacity and operations. Based on these assumptions, we anticipate that sales in casino and gaming and food service technology will continue to be negatively impacted through at least 2021. We have performed a sensitivity analysis on these assumptions to forecast the potential impact of a slower-than-anticipated recovery and believe that we are positioned to withstand the impact of lower-than-anticipated sales and that we will be able to take additional financial and operational actions to cut costs and/or increase liquidity, if necessary. These actions may include additional expense reductions and capital raising activities. 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, inventory obsolescence, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, depreciable lives of equipment, warranty obligations, 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.
