Item 8. Change in Fiscal Year

Effective as of April 1, 2003, Transcat, Inc. (the “Company”) has changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to a 52/53 week fiscal year end, ending the last Saturday in March. As a result of this change, in a 52 week fiscal year, each of the Company’s four quarters will be a thirteen week period, and the final month of each quarter will be a five-week period.

The purpose of this change is to allow for four equal quarterly reporting periods rather than reporting periods that had varied in length by one to two days depending upon when the calendar month ended. The Company does not believe this will materially impact its quarterly reporting.

The Company will timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since the effective date of the change in fiscal year is April 1, 2003, there will be no transition period, and no report covering a transition period will be filed.
