USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(A Development Stage Corporation)
1. Business
USA Technologies, Inc. a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was
incorporated on January 16, 1992. Substantially all of the Company's activities
to date have been devoted to raising capital, developing markets, and starting
up operations which commenced during July 1994. The Company is an owner and
licenser of credit card activated control systems for use in connection with
copying machines, debit card purchase/revalue stations, facsimile machines,
personal computers, and computer printers. The Company's products make available
credit card payment technology in connection with the sale of a variety of
products and services.
The Company generally sells equipment, including the control systems,
directly to the location service provider or through authorized dealers.
Concurrent with the sale of equipment, locations are required to execute a
software licensing and transaction processing agreement with the Company.
In connection with its control systems, the Company generally retains a
percentage of the gross revenues, depending upon the level of services provided
by the Company. Through March 31, 1997, the total gross revenues received by the
Company from these systems has been nominal.
2. Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information
The financial statements and disclosures included herein for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and for the date of inception
through March 31, 1997 are unaudited. These financial statements and disclosures
have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and reflect all adjustments consisting of adjustments of a
normal and recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and the results of
its operations and cash flows.
5
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over three to seven years for financial statement
purposes and accelerated methods for income tax reporting purposes.
Revenue Recognition
Licensing revenues are recognized upon the usage of the equipment
connected to the Company's credit card activated control systems. Revenue from
the sale of equipment is recognized upon installation and customer acceptance of
the equipment.
Loss per Common Share
Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the periods. No exercise of stock options, purchase
rights, purchase warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock and cumulative
preferred dividends was assumed because the exercise or conversion of these
securities would be antidilutive. The 4,365,000 common shares held in escrow or
conversion are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating the loss
per common share for all periods presented.
3. Stock Transactions
In December, 1996 the Board of Directors authorized a $200,000 private
placement offering of 20 units at a unit price of $10,000. Each unit included
1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 40,000 1996-B Common
Stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $.20 per share through August
31, 1997 and $.30 per share through February 28, 2002. The offering closed in
February 1997 resulting in the sale of 9,350 shares of preferred stock and gross
proceeds of $93,500.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997 the Company issued 857,000
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of 857,000 Common Stock Purchase
Warrants at the price of $.20 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of
$171,400.
6
In March 1997 the Company issued to a consultant 160,000 shares of
Common Stock in exchange for consulting services valued at $57,200.
On April 8, 1997 the Company commenced a private placement offering of
110 units at a price of $10,000 per unit, with each unit consisting of 2,000
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 40,000 1997 Common Stock
Purchase Warrants. The offering ends on May 31, 1997 and can be extended for up
to 90 days at the Company's election. Through May 14, 1997 there were 20.94
units purchased, generating gross proceeds of $104,700.
4. Stock Options and Purchase Rights
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company granted to an
employee options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock at $.45 per
share. As of March 31, 1997, there were a total of 157,300 purchase rights
outstanding at a price of $1.00 per share. As of March 31, 1997 there was a
total of 3,816,000 options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $.05 to
$.65 per share, of which 3,266,000 were vested. Other than the options issued at
$.05, all of the options and purchase rights granted were issued at or above
fair market value on the date of grant.
5. Escrow and Cancellation Arrangements
In January 1994, at the time of the Company's initial public offering,
and as a condition of effectiveness of the offering in Pennsylvania, the
Pennsylvania Securities Commission requested that Mr. Jensen place in escrow
with CoreStates Bank (formerly Meridian Bank) as escrow agent, all of the
7,593,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him until June 30, 1998.
Any additional shares of Common Stock beneficially acquired by him will also be
held in escrow. Subject to the provisions of the escrow agreement, Mr. Jensen,
has agreed not to sell, pledge, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any of the
Common Stock held in escrow.
The escrow agreement provides that it shall be terminated prior to
June 30, 1998, and all of Mr. Jensen's shares of Common Stock currently held in
escrow shall be released and returned to him in the event of any dissolution,
merger, consolidation, sale of assets, stock sale, liquidation, tender offer,
exchange offer or otherwise of or to the Company or its shareholders.
7
In connection with any such event, Mr. Jensen would not receive any
consideration for his shares of Common Stock unless and until each shareholder
(other than Mr. Jensen) has received an amount equal to $1.00 per share of
Common Stock.
Mr. Jensen has agreed that 4,365,000 shares of his escrowed Common
Stock would be cancelled by the Company and would no longer be issued and
outstanding unless one of the following occurs (i) the bid price of the Common
Stock equals or exceeds $1.75 for 30 consecutive trading days at any time during
the period of July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1998; or (ii) the Company's
cumulative operating income (before taxes, dividends or extraordinary items) per
share of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) at any time after July 1, 1994
through June 30, 1998, equals or exceeds $.18. Mr. Jensen has agreed that an
amount equal to 1,030,000 shares of his escrowed Common Stock (rather than
4,365,000 shares) would be cancelled if at any time after July 1, 1994 and prior
to June 30, 1998, the Company's cumulative operating income per share of Common
Stock is at least $.12 but less than $.18.
Subject to the terms of the escrow agreement, Mr. Jensen's Common Stock
will be held in escrow until the earlier of the satisfaction of any of the above
conditions (in which event no shares, or only 1,030,000 shares would be
cancelled) or June 30, 1998. Unless and until any such shares would be
cancelled, and subject to the restrictions on sale or transfer pursuant to the
escrow agreement, Mr. Jensen has retained all rights pertaining to such shares,
including voting rights.
Prior to the date hereof, Mr. Jensen canceled an aggregate of 2,305,000
shares of Common Stock which has been owned by him and which had been held in
escrow pursuant to the above arrangements. Prior to such cancellation, a maximum
of 6,670,000 shares (rather than 4,365,000 shares as currently provided) were
subject to cancellation.
In January 1994, at the time of the Company's initial public offering,
and as a condition of effectiveness of the offering in Pennsylvania, the
Pennsylvania Securities Commission also requested that all of the Directors and
executive officers of the Company (in addition to Mr. Jensen) place in escrow
all of the shares of Common Stock owned or to be owned by them until January 5,
1997. As set forth above, Mr. Jensen's shares of Common Stock are to remain in
escrow until June 30, 1998. The escrow agreement provided that such escrowed
shares could not be sold, pledged or transferred. On January 5, 1997, all of
such shares of Common Stock were released from escrow, returned to their
respective owner, and are no longer subject to the terms of the escrow
agreement. An aggregate of 1,009,500 shares of Common Stock were released from
escrow and only Mr. Jensen's shares remain in escrow.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and
Financial Condition.
Introduction
Since its inception in January 1992, the Company, a development stage
corporation, has been engaged almost exclusively in research and development
activities focused on designing, developing, and marketing its credit card
activated control systems. From inception through March 31, 1997, the Company
has had nominal operating revenues and has generated funds primarily through the
sale of its securities. As of March 31, 1997 the Company has received, net of
expenses of such sales, the amount of $4,460,585 in connection with private
placements, $1,681,906 from the exercise of Common Stock purchase warrants, and
$2,345,104 in connection with its initial public offering. The Company has
incurred operating losses and converted some preferred dividends since its
inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $9,637,686 at March 31, 1997
and such losses are expected to continue at least through December 31, 1997.
Results of Operations
The fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1997 resulted in a net operating
loss of $627,014 compared to a net loss of $627,376 for the comparable fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 1996. On an overall basis these continuing losses
reflect the development stage nature of the Company. Losses are projected to
continue until sufficient revenue is generated from various applications of the
Company's proprietary technology.
Revenue from operations was $144,536 compared to $18,628 from the
previous year's fiscal quarter. This improvement reflects the Company's revised
strategy of selling its proprietary equipment as opposed to relying solely on
licensing and transaction processing revenues. Equipment sales totaled $102,347.
Licensing and processing revenue increased to $32,332 from $13,419 for the same
period during the prior year. Despite this modest increase and change in
approach to marketing its products, revenue is still well below the level
required to be profitable.
Expenses and Cost of Equipment Sold for the period were $771,550 which
represents an increase of $125,546 over the same period during the prior year.
This is principally due to the increase in cost of equipment sold of $93,923
which did not exist last year in the same period, and to an increase in staffing
levels. The major contributors to the increased expense level are discussed
below:
9
General and administrative expenses of $390,811 decreased by $48,897 or
11.1% from the third quarter last year, despite a non cash charge of $57,200 for
the issuance of Common Stock in exchange for consulting services in the current
quarter.
Compensation expense of $240,802 increased by 23% due to permanent and
significantly higher staffing levels in the Marketing/Sales area. Depreciation
and amortization expense increased from $5,106 to $28,297 reflecting the
increased depreciable capital asset base.
The nine month period ended March 31, 1997 resulted in a net loss of
$2,313,492, which compares to a net loss of $1,696,410 for the same period
during the previous year. Net revenue increased to $280,994 from the previous
year's $61,565. Total costs and expenses rose to $2,594,486, representing an
increase of $836,511 or 47.6% over the previous year's comparable period. Major
contributors to the increased spending levels were in General and Administrative
(increase of $439,267), Cost of Equipment Sold (increase of $158,687),
Depreciation (increase of $59,501), Provision for Losses on Inventory (increase
of $46,541), and Advertising (increase of $38,873).
Plan of Operations
As of March 31, 1997 the Company had a total of 183 credit card
activated control systems installed in the field as follows:
Credit Card Copy Express(TM) 49, Credit Card Debit Express(TM) 35,
Public PC (formerly Credit Card Computer Express(TM) 41, Fax Express(TM) 12, and
Business Express(TM) 46. The total gross revenues received by the Company from
these systems has been increasing but is still nominal.
During the past year the Company has refined its direction on new
product development. It has shifted its emphasis toward the sale of equipment
utilizing the company's control systems rather than the revenue sharing
arrangements previously employed. The Company still retains all rights to
software and proprietary technology which it licenses to location operators for
their exclusive use. This shift in approach reduces the Company's dependency on
licensing revenues and simultaneously reduces the Company's capital asset
requirements.
The Company completed development of the Business Express(TM) in August
1996 and as of March 31, 1997 there are fifteen sites in operation containing 46
of the Company's control systems. The Company is marketing its products through
its full-time sales staff consisting of four persons, either directly to
customer locations or through facility management companies servicing these
locations.
10
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine month period ended March 31, 1997, there was a net
decrease in cash of $1,391,422. This was attributable to using $2,143,250 for
operating activities and $17,856 for capital expenditures, partially offset by
$769,684 raised through the issuance of Preferred and Common Stock, netted
against offering costs. As of March 31, 1997, total cash on hand was $381,934;
working capital was approximately $582,155 of which $420,760 was invested in
inventory.
The Board of Directors approved a reduction in the exercise price of
5,200,000 Common Stock warrants issued in 1996. Effective November 1, 1996 the
exercise price was reduced to $.20 per share through February 28, 1997. This
resulted in the exercise of 857,000 1996 Common Stock purchase warrants for
gross proceeds to the Company of $171,400 during the third quarter, and a total
of 3,202,000 warrants and gross proceeds of $640,400 for the full period.
In December, 1996 the Board of Directors authorized a $200,000 private
placement offering of 20 units at a unit price of $10,000. Each unit included
1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 40,000 1996-B Common
Stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $.20 per share through August
31, 1997 and $.30 per share through February 28, 2002. The offering closed in
February 1997 resulting in the sale of 9,350 shares of preferred stock and
proceeds of $93,500.
On April 8, 1997 the Company commenced a private placement offering of
110 units at a price of $10,000 per unit, with each unit consisting of 2,000
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 40,000 1997 Common Stock
Purchase Warrants. The offering ends on May 31, 1997 and can be extended for up
to 90 days at the Company's election. Through May 14, 1997 there were 20.94
units purchased, generating gross proceeds of $104,700.
The Company anticipates that it would raise net proceeds of $950,000
from the current offering. Additionally the Company expects to raise funds from
the exercise of outstanding warrants during the balance of calendar 1997. The
Company believes that these funds together with increased revenues from its
business would be sufficient to fund operations through March 31, 1998. There
can be no assurance that additional sales of securities could be made by the
Company or that increased revenues would result from its business. In such
event, the Company may cease to be a going concern or may have to reduce its
operations or operating procedures.
