+Added: software, labels and other recurring revenue, partially offset by 10% lower sales of FST hardware.
+Added: Despite the loss of a significant customer (explained further below), FST software, labels and recurring revenue

+Added: terminals and workstations.
+Added: Hardware sales were impacted by a 94% decrease in sales of our AccuDate 9700 terminals which we discontinued at the end of 2023 and 69% lower sales of our legacy BOHA!
+Added: Terminal 1 (including those from a lost customer

+Added: months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023.
+Added: During the second quarter of 2022, due to production limitations caused by the worldwide supply chain slowdown at that time, we could not produce enough POS automation printers to

+Added: However, by the first quarter of 2023, we successfully managed through the shortage, significantly increased production and began to fulfill our large backlog of sales orders which resulted in unusually high sales in the
+Added: first half of 2023.
+Added: During the first six months of 2024, we experienced renewed competitive pressure that has resulted in a a return to a more normalized level of sales as well as a reduction in our average selling prices.
+Added: In addition to the slowdown in customer order and shipment rates described above, we expect POS automation sales to continue to be lower in 2024 compared

+Added: during the first half of 2023 were unusually high due to our largest competitor’s inability to supply product due to the supply chain issues.
+Added: In addition, many of our customers built up, and two continue to hold, higher than normal levels of
+Added: inventory of our product accumulated as a hedge during the worldwide supply chain crisis during 2022 and 2023.
+Added: As a result, we have experienced a significant slowdown in their order and shipment rates that we expect to continue for the remainder of

+Added: Internationally, TSG revenue decreased $48 thousand, or 11%, for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, primarily due to a

+Added: We expect TSG sales to be lower in 2024 compared to 2023 as we experienced an unusually high level of sales of legacy lottery printer replacement parts in
