Exhibit 99.1 Press Release dated February 12, 2010. RELEASE: NEW HARTFORD, NY, February 12, 2010 CONTACT: Christopher R. Byrnes (315) 738-0600 ext. 226 cbyrnes@partech.com, www.partech.com PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 2009 FOURTH QUARTER & YEAR END RESULTS o Company discloses several non-recurring charges associated with personnel actions, inventory of certain discontinued product lines and deferred tax assets ----------------------------------------------------------------- NEW HARTFORD, NY, PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (NYSE:PTC) New Hartford, NY- February 12, 2010 -- PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PTC), a provider of integrated hardware, software and service solutions to the restaurant, hotel/resort, and hospitality industries along with information technology services to the United States Government, today reported fourth quarter and year end 2009 financial results. This press release provides financial information for net income per share that exclude the following one-time charges: (1) non-recurring charges for personnel actions, (2) the write down of certain inventory related to discontinued product lines, and (3) a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets. As such, the financial information is not presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our Company's performance, thereby enhancing the ability of investors to evaluate PAR's results for the periods presented. Please refer to the table below for supplemental information and corresponding reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to GAAP financial measure for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2009. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, PAR reported revenues of $58.2 million down 11% when compared to the $65.4 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding special non-recurring charges, the Company reported non-GAAP adjusted net income of $601,000 and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share of $0.04 for the period, versus net income of $1.5 million and earnings per share of $0.10 reported for the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth quarter was $4.9 million, representing a loss of $0.33 per diluted share. For fiscal year 2009, PAR reported total revenues of $223 million, down 4% from the $233 million reported for fiscal year 2008. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the year was $308,000, or non-GAAP adjusted $0.02 earnings per diluted share. The results represent a decrease from the $2.2 million of net income and $0.15 earnings per diluted share reported for fiscal year 2008. On a GAAP basis, net loss for 2009 was $5.2 million representing a loss $0.36 per diluted share. These one-time charges incurred in the fourth quarter reduced operating income by approximately $6.5 million, comprised of $1.2 million related to personnel actions, and $5.3 million related to inventory. In addition the Company recorded a $1.4 million valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets. "The global economic environment represented a significant challenge for PAR throughout 2009. Although difficult in scope, we see improving stability in our markets and look forward to a much improved 2010," said John W. Sammon, PAR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We have also taken significant steps this past quarter to make certain organizational changes that will deliver meaningful cost savings in 2010. With these cost reductions, coupled with expected increasing sales, we foresee improvement in profitability this year. Our fundamental long-term strategy remains intact and has not been affected by the cost reductions taken during this period."

However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation table above, are provided herein because management uses such measures in evaluating the results of the continuing operations of the Company and believes this information provides investors better insight into underlying business trends and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded total charges of $6.5 million primarily related to a non-recurring write-down of certain inventory associated with discontinued products and personnel actions related to the consolidation of some of its facilities. Of the total charges, $5.3M is associated with inventory, while the remaining $1.2M is associated with personnel actions. Additionally, the Company recorded a $1.4M valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets. These charges have been excluded in the Company's non-GAAP measures because they are considered non-recurring in nature and are quantitatively and qualitatively different from the Company's core operations during any particular period.
