Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On May 21, 2007, Transcat, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding its financial results for fiscal year 2007 and the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
     The press release attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 contains a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. To supplement the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company provided non-GAAP adjusted operating income for fiscal year 2007. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to the GAAP results and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
     The Company’s management uses adjusted operating income to assess the Company’s historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance its understanding of the Company’s core operating performance, excluding items unrelated to current operations.
     The Company believes that management and investors benefit from this non-GAAP financial measure to facilitate comparisons to historical financial performance allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its decision making.
Item. 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Fiscal 2007 Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards
     The Board of Directors of the Company previously approved certain performance objectives under the Company’s Performance Incentive Plan (the “Performance Plan”) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 (“Fiscal 2007”). The Performance Plan provides for performance-based, non-equity incentive awards if the Company attains specific targeted performance goals and, for certain participants, if they attain specific individual targeted performance goals.
     Assuming these targets are met, the following named executive officers, Carl E. Sassano, Executive Chairman of the Board, Charles P. Hadeed, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, John J. Zimmer, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Finance, Jay F. Woychick, Vice President of Marketing, and John A. De Voldre, Vice President of Human Resources, are eligible to receive awards under the Performance Plan. Mr. Sassano’s and Mr. Hadeed’s eligibility is based entirely on Company performance objectives, while Mr. Zimmer’s, Mr. Woychick’s and Mr. De Voldre’s eligibility is divided equally between Company performance objectives and individual performance objectives.
     The following table shows the target non-equity incentive plan award amount as a percentage of base salary for each of Mr. Sassano, Mr. Hadeed, Mr. Zimmer, Mr. Woychick and Mr. De Voldre for Fiscal 2007, and the relative percentage weights assigned to each Company performance objective:
