USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
PART I
Item 1. Business
USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company")
was founded in January 1992. The Company is in the development stage and
intends to become a leading provider and licensor of unattended, credit card
activated control systems for the copying, debit card and personal computer
industries. The Company's devices make available credit card payment
technology in connection with the sale of a variety of products and services.
The Company anticipates generating its revenues from retaining a portion of
the monies generated from all credit card transactions conducted through its
control systems, as well as the direct sale of its control systems and the
resale of configured office products.
The Company has developed an unattended, credit card activated
control system to be utilized with photocopying machines, facsimile machines,
computer printers, and debit card purchase/revalue stations. The control
systems allow consumers to use credit cards to pay for use of these products.
The Company has also developed the Public PCTM, which is an
unattended credit card activated control system to be used in connection with
a personal computer, including on-line services, such as the Internet. This
product enables locations to offer the use of personal computers to the public
on an "as needed" basis utilizing credit cards as a method of payment. In
addition the Company introduced to the university library market its Automated
Print Payment System(TM) (APPS). This system enables libraries to charge users
via credit/debit cards for the printed output from computer networks, thus
providing a new source of revenue to cover their increasing costs of
operations.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company introduced
the Business Express(TM), which is being marketed to the hospitality industry
as an amenity to the business traveler. The Business Express(TM) combines the
Company's existing applications for computers, copiers, and facsimiles into a
kiosk type configuration. All services provided are credit card activated. The
Business Express(TM) continues the Company's move toward the sale of the
Company's proprietary equipment to operators rather than the revenue sharing
arrangements employed in past years. The Company still retains all rights to
software and proprietary technology which it licenses to location operators
for their exclusive use.
The Company anticipates generating its revenues from the sale of
equipment utilizing its control systems, from retaining a portion of the
revenues generated from all credit card transactions conducted through its
control systems, and from monthly management fees from each location utilizing
its control systems. The Company has entered into joint marketing agreements
with Minolta Corportation and Lexmark International, Inc., and has been
designated as authorized equipment reseller by Hewlett-Packard Company,
International Business Machines Corporation and Dell Computer Corporation. The
Company believes that the Company will benefit from the association of its
control systems with the well-known brands of business equipment manufactured
by these companies.
In May 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a newly formed
Canadian company pursuant to which it agreed to purchase 10 Business Express(TM)
business centers from the Company. The total purchase price for the 10 units if
all units had been purchased would have been $1,118,261 (Canadian dollars). As
of the date hereof, only one complete Business Express(TM) unit and another unit
consisting of equipment only (with no control systems) have been purchased under
the agreement by the purchaser. The Company does not anticipate that any of the
remaining units will be ordered by the purchaser under the agreement. The
Company believes that the purchaser has breached its obligations under the
agreement and is currently exploring the viability of pursuing appropriate legal
action against the purchaser, 1217909 Ontario, Inc., as well as its affiliates.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any of its
potential legal claims, or if successful, be able to actually collect any
damages from the purchaser or any of its affiliates.
On September 24, 1997, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement with Mail Boxes Etc. ("MBE"), the leading franchisor of postal,
business, and communications retail service centers with approximately 3,000
locations in North America. The joint venture shall exclusively sell and market
unattended, credit card activated business centers under the name MBE
Express(TM) to the hospitality industry, travel industry, convention centers,
colleges, universities, supermarkets, banks, military, convenience stores, and
mass merchandisers located in the United States. The gross profits from any
sales of the MBE Express(TM) are to be shared by the Company and MBE. The
agreement provides that any gross profits earned by the joint venture from sales
on a national account level (where the buying decision is made at the customer's
headquarters rather than at the local or store level) shall be split equally
between the Company and MBE. Any gross profits earned from sales of the MBE
Express(TM) to MBE franchisees in connection with placement handoffs provided by
either USA or MBE would be split equally. For any sales made at the local or
store level, the gross profit would be split so that the partner responsible for
contractually obligating the customer for that particular sale would receive 75%
and the other partner 25%. In addition, other revenues resulting from activities
relating to the MBE Express(TM), such as electronic commerce, licensing,
marketing and advertising, are to be split equally between MBE and the Company.
MBE has agreed not to sell, use, endorse, approve, or purchase any
unattended, credit card activated technology or terminals other than those
offered by the Company for use in connection with the equipment included in the
MBE Express(TM). The Company and MBE will agree from time to time on an
advertising and marketing budget which would cover anticipated expenses for
trade shows, trade advertising, direct mail, telemarketing, national account
coverage, merchandising, market research and lead generation. All such expenses
would be split equally between the Company and MBE. The Company is to act as the
merchant for all MBE Express(TM) business centers and will receive a monthly
service fee of $20.00 for each terminal. The initial term of the joint venture
is five years. If certain sales goals are not met by the joint venture, the
Company may terminate the exclusivity provisions of the agreement after the
second year. The joint venture may also be terminated at any time by either
partner if the other partner has breached any material term or condition of the
agreement; provided, that the terminating partner has allowed the other partner
at least a sixty day period to cure any alleged breach.
The MBE Express(TM) bundles together the same components as the
Business Express(TM): Public PC(TM), Copy Express(TM), and Fax Express(TM),
but under the MBE brand name. In addition, the MBE Express(TM) would include a
dial-through service to a nearby MBE store making available the products and
services of the store.
In addition, MBE has ordered 195 TransAct(TM) control boxes from the
Company to be used by MBE franchisees for their in-store computer workstations
(computer and printer). The Company will act as the merchant in connection with
credit card sales and will receive a monthly service of $20.00 for each
terminal. The terminals are to be delivered to MBE by the Company in October
1997.
The Company has entered into corporate agreements which establish
itself as a preferred supplier of business center products to two of the top
hospitality companies in the world: Choice Hotels International (Clarion,
Quality, Comfort, Sleep Inns), and Promus Hotel Corporation (Embassy Suites,
Hampton, Doubletree). In addition, the Company's Business Express(TM) has been
approved and recommended as a solution by Marriott for its hotels.
For the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, the Company has spent
approximately $224,000 and $344,000, respectively for the development of its
proprietary technology. These amounts include the expense of outside
consultants and contractors as well as compensation paid to certain of the
Company's employees as reflected in Compensation in the accompanying financial
statements.
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 130 Business Express(TM) control
systems, 44 Copy Express(TM) control systems, 34 Debit Express(TM) control
systems, 23 Fax/Printer Express(TM) control systems, and 54 Public PC(TM)
control systems located at various hotels and libraries throughout the United
States and Canada. Through June 30, 1997 the total gross revenues received by
the Company from these systems has been nominal.
The Company has been certified by PNC Merchant Services (a subsidiary
of First Data Corporation), a leading credit card processor in the United
States. PNC Merchant Services has extended to the Company a fixed rate
percentage processing charge in connection with the credit card transactions
conducted through the Company's control systems. This charge is payable by the
Company (not the locations) out of its share of the gross proceeds.

Industry Trends
With trends over the last twenty years indicating an ever increasing
customer reliance on the use of credit cards as a method of payment, the Company
believes the future of purchasing retail products and services is in credit
cards rather than cash. For example, according to the New York Times, November
20, 1994 in 1970 the average balance on credit cards in the United States was
$649; by 1986 it was $1,472, and in 1994 it was $2,800. According to Time
Magazine, May 9, 1994 from 1986 to 1994, the number of credit card transactions
in the United States increased 200% compared to an increase of 17% for cash and
check transactions. Consumers are constantly searching for ways to purchase
quality products and services in the most convenient manner. Examples of this
trend include the increasing use of unattended, Automated Teller Machines
("ATM's") in banking transactions and the use of unattended, self-service
gasoline pumps with credit and debit card payment capabilities. In addition,
consumers are becoming more accustomed to using credit cards as a method of
payment in an ever increasing array of retail and service settings. Almost every
department store, restaurant and supermarket accepts credit card payments.
Consumers are increasingly using mail order, telephone and the Internet to order
goods and services and are using credit cards to pay for these goods and
services. In response to this increasing consumer demand for convenience and
this increasing consumer acceptance of credit cards as a method of payment, the
Company has focused its efforts towards developing and marketing its unattended,
credit card activated control systems.
Credit Card Processing
Each of the Company's credit card activated control devices records
and transmits all transaction data to the Company, and the Company then
forwards such data to the credit card processor. After receiving transaction
information from the Company, the credit card processor electronically
transfers the funds (less the credit card processor's charge) to the Company.
The Company then forwards to the location its share of the funds.
The Company and each location have agreed on a percentage split of
the gross proceeds from the Company's device. The credit card processor's fees
and cost to forward the location's share of the gross proceeds are all paid
for out of the Company's portion of the gross revenue.
The Company currently retains a portion of the gross revenues from
each device. If the Company has sold the equipment to the location, the
portion retained is generally 8% of the gross revenues. In cases where the
Company continues to own the equipment, the portion retained can be as high as
90% of gross revenues. In addition the Company charges a fixed monthly
management fee which is generally $25 per control device.
Product Lines
The Business Express(TM)
The hotel/motel hospitality industry continues to expand, but has
become more competitive as chains increase their efforts to attract the most
dominant and profitable customer: the business traveler. Business travelers
and conference attendees account for the majority of hotel occupancy, stay
longer and spend more per visit than the leisure traveler. For these reasons,
hotels have become very sensitive and responsive to the needs and preferences
of the business traveler. The Business Express(TM) enables a hotel to address
these needs in a comprehensive and cost effective manner, while simultaneously
generating incremental revenue.
The Business Express(TM) utilizes the Company's existing applications
for computers, copiers, and facsimile equipment, and combines them into a
branded product. The Business Express(TM) bundles the Public PC(TM) unit, the
Copy Express(TM) unit, and the Fax Express(TM) unit, into a functional kiosk
type work station. All devices are credit card activated, therefore
eliminating the need for an attendant normally required to provide such
services.
The Company assists the location in the design of the unit, including
selecting a layout and furniture for the equipment. To date, the Company has
sold business equipment to the locations, has supplied Company owned equipment
to the certain locations and has supplied control systems to the location for
use with location owned equipment. In all such cases, the Company licenses the
control systems to the locations and receives a fixed percentage (approximately
5.76%) of the proceeds generated from any transactions.

The MBE Express(TM)
On September 24, 1997, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement with Mail Boxes Etc. ("MBE"), the leading franchisor of postal,
business, and communications retail service centers with approximately 3,000
locations in North America. The joint venture shall exclusively sell and market
unattended, credit card activated business centers under the name MBE
Express(TM) to the hospitality industry, travel industry, convention centers,
colleges, universities, supermarkets, banks, military, convenience stores, and
mass merchandisers located in the United States. MBE has agreed not to sell,
use, endorse, approve, or purchase any unattended, credit card activated
technology or terminals other than those offered by the Company for use in
connection with the equipment included in the MBE Express(TM). If a customer
would not desire to purchase the MBE Express(TM), the Company is permitted to
sell to such customer a private label product under any name other than MBE
Express(TM). The initial term of the joint venture is five years. If certain
sales goals are not met by the joint venture, the Company may terminate the
exclusivity provisions of the agreement after the second year. The joint venture
may be terminated at any time by either partner if the other partner has
breached any material term or condition of the agreement; provided that the
terminating partner has allowed the other partner at least a sixty day period to
cure any alleged breach.
The MBE Express(TM) bundles together the same components as the
Business Express(TM): Public PC(TM), Copy Express(TM), and Fax Express(TM),
but under the MBE brand name. In addition, the MBE Express(TM) would include a
dial-through service to a nearby MBE store making available the products and
services of the store.
The Copy Express(TM)
Traditionally, customers wishing to use a photocopying machine have
either used a prepaid, stored value card or cash. In most instances, this
places a burden on employees of the facility to provide a number of services
unrelated to their primary jobs, such as providing change and
collecting/counting/reloading coins. With the Copy Express(TM), the attendant
no longer needs to interact with the customers for these purposes.
The Copy Express(TM) provides a cashless method to pay for the use of
photocopying machines. The device is attached to the photocopying machine,
computer printer, or microfilm/fiche printer in a similar manner as attaching
a standard coin acceptor. The device can be attached to either existing or new
equipment. The control system enables customers to photocopy documents with
the use of a credit card.
The Debit Express(TM)
Many "closed" environments such as universities or hospitals utilize
a private card known as a debit or "stored value" card, to store cash value.
The system works by encouraging customers (by discounting the price of the
products or services) to transfer lump sum cash values onto a magnetic stripe
or imbedded chip card that can be used to activate equipment within the closed
environment. As the cardholder uses the card to purchase products or services
the cash value is deducted from the total value on the card. Typically, the
cards are purchased from attendants or from machines which accept coins or
dollar bills.
The Company's Debit Express(TM) enables customers to purchase or
revalue their debit cards with the swipe of a credit card and eliminates the
need for cash or for an attendant to handle cash or provide change. The Debit
Express(TM) eliminates any reliance on cash by allowing customers to use a
valid credit card to purchase or place additional value on a debit card.
The Public PC(TM)
The Company believes that the growing dependence on personal
computers has created an environment where there is a need for access to
personal computers by the general public on an " as needed" basis. To meet
this need, the Company has developed the Public PC(TM). Through June 30, 1997,
the Company has installed 54 units in libraries and retail locations. The
device enables the public to utilize personal computers and/or the services
they offer on an "as-needed" basis. The system is designed so that the
computer cannot be used until a valid credit card is swiped through the
control system. Once the user is authorized to proceed, the system has the
ability to charge for time in use, printed output, and any modem activity.
The Company believes that the personal computer is becoming an
integral part of how people access and utilize the information available to
them. The Company believes that the majority of libraries do not currently
offer general use personal computers to their patrons. The Company will pursue
print shops, cyber cafes, hotels, airports, convention and conference centers,
and various retail outlets as potential customers.
3
Marketing
The Company is currently marketing its products through its full-time
sales staff consisting of four persons to hotel and retail locations, either
directly or through facility management companies servicing these locations.
On September 24, 1997, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement with Mail Boxes Etc. ("MBE"), the leading franchisor of postal,
business, and communications retail service centers with approximately 3,000
stores in North America. The joint venture shall exclusively sell and market
unattended, credit card activated business centers under the name MBE
Express(TM) to the hospitality industry, travel industry, convention centers,
colleges, universities, supermarkets, banks, military, convenience stores, and
mass merchandisers located in the United States. MBE has agreed not to sell,
use, endorse, approve, or purchase any unattended, credit card activated
technology or terminals other than those offered by the Company for use in
connection with the equipment included in the MBE Express(TM). The Company and
MBE will agree from time to time on an advertising and marketing budget which
would cover anticipated expenses for trade shows, trade advertising, direct
mail, telemarketing, national account coverage, merchandising, market research
and lead generation. All such marketing and sales expenses would be split
equally between the Company and MBE. The initial term of the joint venture is
five years. If certain sales goals are not met by the joint venture, the Company
may terminate the exclusivity provisions of the agreement after the second year.
The joint venture may be terminated at any time by either partner if the other
partner has breached any material term or condition of the agreement; provided,
that the terminating partner has allowed the other partner at least a sixty day
period to cure any alleged breach.
The MBE Express(TM) bundles together the same components as the
Business Express(TM): Public PC(TM), Copy Express (TM), and Fax Express(TM),
but under the MBE brand name. In addition, the MBE Express(TM) would include a
dial-through service to a nearby MBE store making available the products and
services of the store.
The Company has entered into agreements which establish itself as a
preferred supplier of business center products to two of the top hospitality
companies in the world: Choice Hotels International (Clarion, Quality, Comfort,
Sleep Inns), and Promus Hotel Corporation (Embassy Suites, Hampton, Doubletree).
The agreement with Choice Hotels International was entered into in April 1997
and the agreement with Promus Hotels, Inc. was entered into in May 1997. The
agreement with Choice is for one year and is automatically renewed from year to
year unless terminated upon at least 30 days notice prior to the end of any one
year period. The agreement with Promus is for a term of three years and may be
terminated by either party for any reason upon at least 90 days written notice.
The agreements provide that Choice or Promus, as the case may be, would promote
the products of the Company to its owned, franchised and licensed properties at
the prices set forth in the agreements. The agreements do not obligate Choice,
Promus, or any other party to purchase any of the Company's products. Through
October 31, 1997, Business Express(TM) units have been installed in 14 Choice
Hotels and in 10 Doubletree or Embassy Suites. In addition, the Company's
Business Express(TM) has been approved and recommended as a solution by Marriott
for its hotels. The recommendation was set forth in an interoffice memo from
Marriott corporate to its hotels to satisfy an identified Business Service
Center need, and was distributed during September 1997.
In March 1997, the Company entered into a co-marketing agreement with
Minolta Corporation ("Minolta") pursuant to which the Company and Minolta would
work together to market and sell the Business Express(TM) featuring the Minolta
copier to the hospitality industry. The agreement is on a nonexclusive basis and
can be terminated by either party on thirty days notice. Through October 31,
1997, over $100,000 of Minolta equipment has been purchased by the Company, and
60 units have been installed in customer locations.
In March 1997, the Company entered into a co-marketing agreement with
Lexmark International, Inc. ("Lexmark") pursuant to which the Company and
Lexmark would work together to market and sell the Business Express(TM)
featuring the Lexmark printer to the hospitality industry. The agreement is on a
nonexclusive basis and can be terminated by either party on thirty days notice.
In December 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") pursuant to which it was
appointed an IBM Business Partner-Personal Computer Reseller. This agreement
will allow the Company to purchase IBM personal computers at a wholesale price
for resale to its customers as a configured Public PC(TM) that is credit card
activiated. The agreement can be terminated by either party on thirty days
notice.
4
During February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Dell
Marketing, L.P., a subsidiary of Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell"), pursuant to
which the Company was appointed as a Dell authorized "Remarketer/Integrator".
This agreement allows the Company to purchase Dell personal computers at a
wholesale price for resale to its customers. The agreement can be terminated by
either party upon thirty days notice.
In December 1996, the Company was designated as an authorized
"Hewlett-Packard Value-Added Reseller," ("HP") pursuant to which the Company may
purchase Hewlett-Packard facsimile machines at a wholesale price for resale to
its customers. The agreement can be terminated by either party upon thirty days
notice.
The Company believes these agreements are an important component of the
Company's effort to market the Business Express(TM) to the hospitality industry
because they provide instant brand name recognition. In addition, each of these
companies offers maintenance and service agreements relating to the equipment
directly to the location, thus removing the need for the Company to provide
maintenance services or warranties to any of the equipment (other than the
control systems).
Procurement
The Company's control system devices consist of a card reader,
printer, amplifier, circuit board and micro chip in a specially designed
housing. The devices are currently manufactured to the Company's design
specification by an independent contractor, LMC - Autotech Technologies, LP.
The Company has recently contracted for the purchase of 500 control devices,
for a total purchase price of $242,325. The Company anticipates obtaining its
complete computer systems (other than the Public PC(TM) control system) from
IBM.
Competition
The Company believes that there are currently no other businesses
offering an unattended, credit card activated control systems for use in
connection with copiers, printers or general use personal computers. There are
other companies presently offering unattended, credit card activated control
devices in connection with facsimile machines, Internet and e-mail access, and
debitcard purchase/revalue stations. In addition, the businesses which have
developed unattended, credit card activated control systems currently in use
in connection with gasoline dispensing, public telephones, prepaid telephone
cards, ticket dispensing machines, vending machines, or facsimile machines,
are capable of developing products or utilizing their existing products in
direct competition with the Company. Many of these businesses are well
established, have substantially greater resources than the Company and have
established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of
high quality products. The Company is aware of one business which has
developed an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in
connection with vending machines. Any such increased competition may result in
reduced sales and/or lower percentages of gross revenues being retained by the
Company in connection with its licensing arrangements, or otherwise may reduce
potential profits or result in a loss of some or all of its customer base. The
Company is also aware of several businesses which make available use of the
Internet and use of personal computers to hotel guests in their hotel rooms on
an "as-needed" basis. Although these services are not credit card activated,
such services would compete with the Company"s Business ExpressTM ,and the
locations may not order the Business Express(TM), or if ordered, the hotel
guest may not use it. Recently, the Company became aware that one potential
competitor has developed a credit card activated personal computer kiosk.
Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Information
The Company has applied for federal registration of its trademarks
Business Express(TM), Printer Express(TM), Copy Express(TM), Debit
Express(TM), C3X(TM), Public PC(TM) and TransAct(TM).
Much of the technology developed or to be developed by the Company is
subject to trade secret protection. To reduce the risk of loss of trade secret
protection through disclosure, the Company has entered into confidentiality
agreements with its key employees. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in maintaining such trade secret protection or that others
will not capitalize on certain of the Company's technology.
The Company has applied for ten United States patents and has applied
for foreign patents in connection therewith. To date, two of these patents
have been approved: Patent Number 5,619,024 entitled "Credit card and bank
issued debit card operated system and method for controlling and monitoring
access of computer and copy equipment," and Patent Number 5,637,845 entitled
"Credit and bank issued debit card operated system and method for controlling
a prepaid card encoding/dispensing machine." As of the date hereof, the
remaining eight applications are pending and have not been granted.
Employees
The Company has seventeen full time employees.

PART II
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Introduction
Since its inception in January 1992, the Company, a development stage
corporation, has been engaged largely in research and development activities
focused on designing, developing, and marketing its credit card activated
control systems. From inception through September 30, 1997, the Company has had
nominal operating revenues of $1,035,185 and has generated funds primarily
through the sale of its securities. Through September 30, 1997 the Company has
received, net of expenses of such sales, the amount of $5,067,308 in connection
with private placements, $2,492,626 from the exercise of Common Stock options
and purchase warrants, and $2,345,104 in connection with its initial public
offering. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception through
September 30, 1997 of $10,024,195 and such losses are expected to continue
through September 30, 1998.
The Company's independent auditors have included an explanatory
paragraph in their report on the Company's June 30, 1997 financial statements
discussing issues which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the funds available at
June 30, 1997 combined with the revenues to be generated during fiscal year
1998, the potential capital to be raised from the exercise of Common Stock
purchase warrants, and the ability to defer anticipated expenditures, if
required, will provide for the Company to continue a a going concern. There
can be no assurance, however, that any significant revenues will be generated
during the 1998 fiscal year or that sufficient capital can be raised by the
Company. In such event, the Company may cease to be a going concern and
investors in the Common Stock may lose all of their investment.
Results of Operations
Fiscal year ended June 30, 1997:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company had a net loss
of $3,120,712. Overall this loss reflects the continuing development stage
activities of the Company. The Company's preferred stock provides for an
annual cumulative dividend of $1.50 per share payable to the shareholders of
record on February 1 and August 1 each year as declared by the Company's Board
of Directors. The $4,364,007 loss applicable to common shares or $.21 loss per
common share was derived by adding the $3,120,712 net loss and the $1,243,295
of cumulative preferred dividends earned for the year ending June 30, 1997,
and dividing by the weighted average shares outstanding, of 20,984,381.
Revenues for the period were $607,772, which increased $554,793 from
last year, primarily reflecting the sales of the Business Express(TM) product
line.
6
Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30,1997 were
$3,742,961, representing a $1,212,166 or 47.9% increase over the prior year.
The primary contributors to this increase were Cost of Sales, General and
Administrative expense and Compensation, as detailed below.
Cost of sales increased by $525,090 from the prior year, reflecting the
first year of equipment sales. The cost of equipment sales increased $473,529
and the cost of license fee revenues increased $51,561. General and
administrative expense of $2,040,163 increased sharply by $528,882 or 35.0%
which reflects both a general increase in spending to support the expansion of
operations as well as several non-operational factors. Specifically the major
contributors to this increase were: Travel and lodging increased by a total of
$66,393, which reflected significant marketing related travel as well as an
increase in travel for the increased numbers of installations. Marketing
promotions, mailings and trade show expenses increased $110,147. Advertising
increased by $26,000, reflecting the need to increase product awareness in the
marketplace. Professional and consultant fees increased by $86,770, reflecting
increased legal, public relations and patent activity. Product development
expense increased $119,852 primarily due to developmental costs for new
customers. The balance of the increase includes temporary services, telephone,
office expense, and postage.
Compensation expense was $1,080,458, an increase of $177,060 or 19.6%
over the previous year. This increase was primarily due to headcount increases
in the sales function and to a lesser extent, operations.The cost of employee
benefits also rose by $34,468.
Depreciation expense of $97,250 increased by $25,234, which is
attributable to the increased depreciable asset base.
Fiscal year ended June 30, 1996:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss
of $2,451,697. Overall this loss reflects the continuing development stage
activities of the Company. The Company's preferred stock provides for an
annual cumulative dividend of $1.50 per share payable to the shareholders of
record on February 1 and August 1 each year as declared by the Company's Board
of Directors. The $3,405,997 loss applicable to common shares or $.23 loss per
common share was derived by adding the $2,451,697 net loss and the $954,300 of
cumulative preferred dividends for the year ending June 30, 1996 and dividing
by the weighted average shares outstanding.
Revenues for the period remained at a nominal level reflecting the
disappointing performance of the Credit Card Copy Express(TM) product line.
Expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30,1996 were $2,536,544, representing
a $868,546 or 52% increase over the prior year. The primary contributors to
this increase were General and Administrative expense and Compensation.
At June 30, 1996, cash was $1,773,356 compared to $376,191 on June
30, 1995. Such increase reflects the net proceeds received by the Company in
connection with a private placement offering that closed in June 1996 which
raised net proceeds of $1,249,264. In addition, during fiscal year 1996,
3,686,000 1995 Warrants were exercised for aggregate proceeds to the Company
of $1,105,800. At June 30, 1996, inventory was $426,391 compared to zero on
June 30, 1995. Such inventory was purchased by the Company in connection with
the marketing of its Credit Card Computer Express (TM) product (now known as
the Public PC(TM). The increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses
reflects the increased operating expenses incurred by the Company.
General and administrative expense of $1,511,281 increased sharply by
$852,681 or 12.2% which reflects both a general increase in spending to
support the expansion of operations as well as several non-operational
factors. Specifically the major contributors to this increase were (a)
$187,122 increase in travel and lodging which was concentrated in the
operations area and reflects the installation of the Company's control
devices; (b) $103,355 increase in professional fees due to financial
consultant and legal fees, including increased patent activity; (c) $93,888
increase in product development expense primarily due to the programming and
configuration of the Company's newly completed C3X(TM); (d) $313,548 increase
in consulting expenses of which $247,205 is a non-cash transaction
attributable to the issuance of Common Stock in exchange for services
rendered; and the
7
balance of the increase which includes public relations and technical
services. Telephone, office expense, and postage increased moderately.
Compensation expense was $903,398, an increase of $215,013 or 31%
over the previous year. This increase was concentrated in the marketing
function and corporate staffing, and also including $27,343 of expense to
initiate an employee medical benefits plan.
Depreciation expense of $72,016 increased by $56,548, which is
attributable to the increased depreciable asset base. Advertising remained
consistent with the previous year.
A provision for losses on equipment was charged to operations in the
amount of $44,100 which represents the final charge for the discontinuance of
the Golfers Oasis(TM) product line.
Interest expense returned to normal levels with the elimination of
the public offering interest cost reflected in the prior year.
Plan of Operations
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had a total of 285 credit card
activated control systems installed in the field as follows: Business
Express(TM) 130, Copy Express(TM) 44, Debit Express(TM) 34, Public PC(TM) 54,
Fax/Printer Express(TM) 23. Through June 30, 1997 the total license fee income
received by the Company from these systems was $117,158.
The Company has been certified by PNC Merchant Services (a subsidiary
of First Data Corporation), a leading credit card processor in the United
States. PNC Merchant Services has extended to the Company a fixed rate
percentage processing charge of approximately 5.76% in connection with the
credit card transactions conducted through the Company's control systems. This
charge is payable by the Company (not the locations) out of its share of the
gross proceeds. Charges of $51,561 and $9,555 were assessed for credit card
processing for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively.
During the past year the Company has continued its new direction in
product development. It has focused on products capable of generating new
incremental revenue for equipment operators (ie, Business Express) as opposed
to in the past simply providing a better method of payment (ie. Copy Express).
The new direction is also reflected in the move toward the sale of the
Company's proprietary equipment to operators rather than the revenue sharing
arrangements employed to date. The Company still retains all rights to
software and proprietary technology which it licenses to location operators
for their exclusive use. However this shift in market approach reduces the
Company's dependency on equipment revenue by providing a built in gross profit
on the sale of the equipment, and simultaneously reduces the Company's capital
asset requirements.
Plans for the coming fiscal year include progressing from the
developmental stage to an operating mode. The Company also intends to continue
to focus on the sales and/or leasing of its Business Express(TM) business
centers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company completed a
number of equity transactions. Net proceeds of $394,688 were realized from the
two Private Placement Offerings of Preferred Stock and $1,141,126 was realized
from Common Stock transactions, principally the exercise of Common Stock
purchase warrants. As of June 30, 1997 total working capital was $671,914,
including cash on hand of $630,266.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, net cash of $2,651,341
was used by operating activities, primarily compensation and general and
administrative expenses. Consulting expense reflected $277,198 of a non-cash
transaction attributable to the issuance of common stock in exchange for
services rendered. Net cash of $17,855 was used by investing activities
principally for the purchase of furniture. The net cash provided by financing
activities of $1,526,107 was principally due to the net proceeds generated
from the issuance of securities described in the prior paragraph.
The Company's independent auditors have included an explanatory
paragraph in their report on the Company's June 30, 1997 financial statements
discussing issues which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
8
continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the funds available at
June 30, 1997 combined with the revenues and earnings to be generated during
fiscal year 1998, the potential capital to be raised from the exercise of the
Common Stock purchase warrants, and the ability to defer anticipated
expenditures, if required, will provide for the Company to continue as a going
concern through at least June 30, 1998. There can be no assurance, however,
that any significant revenues and earnings will be generated during the 1998
fiscal year or that sufficient capital can be raised by the Company. In such
event, the Company may cease to be a going concern or may have to reduce its
operations or operating procedures. In such event, investors in the Common
Stock may lose all of their investment.
The Company anticipates that for the year ended June 30, 1998 there
will be a negative cash flow from operations in excess of $1 million. The
Company anticipates that the shortfall in cash flow will be supported by
additional equity infusion from the exercise of the Common Stock purchase
warrants, and, if needed, the ability to defer planned expenditures.
Commitment
During October 1996, the Company entered into a lease for
approximately 7,000 square feet in Wayne, Pennsylvania for a monthly rental of
$5,000 plus utilities and operating expenses. The lease expires on October 15,
1999. A former property located at 1265 Drummers Lane, Wayne, PA, was vacated
in October, 1996. The lease payment of approximately $5,000 per month ceased
as of August 31, 1997.
During August 1997, the Company entered into a commitment to acquire
500 control system equipment for $242,325. These amounts are expected to be paid
from the existing cash resources plus funds generated by Common Stock warrant
exercises.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
USA Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of USA Technologies, Inc. (A
Development Stage Corporation) as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended June 30, 1997 and the period January 16, 1992
(inception) through June 30, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of USA Technologies, Inc. at
June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1997 and for the period
January 16, 1992 (inception) through June 30, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming USA
Technologies, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to
the financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations from
its inception and its accumulated deficit through June 30, 1997, raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1997
1. Business
USA Technologies, Inc. a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was
incorporated on January 16, 1992. The Company changed its name from USA
Entertainment Center, Inc. to USA Technologies, Inc. on June 7, 1995 to more
accurately reflect the nature of its business. The Company is in the
development stage and is an owner and licensor of unattended, credit card
activated control systems for use in connection with copying machines, debit
card purchase/revalue stations, facsimile machines, personal computers and
computer printers. During September 1996, the Company commenced offering its
control systems under the name Business Express(TM). Substantially all of the
Company's activities to date have been devoted to raising capital, developing
markets, and starting up operations. The Company's customers are located in
the United States and Canada and are comprised of hotels, retail locations,
university libraries, and public libraries. The Company generates its revenues
by the sale of equipment utilizing its control systems and retaining a
percentage of the gross licensing fees generated by the control systems, plus
a monthly administrative service fee.
2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
The Company has been in the development stage since its inception in 1992 and
has incurred substantial losses of $2.4 million in 1996, $3.1 million in 1997
and cumulative losses from its inception through June 30, 1997 amounting to
$9.4 million. Losses have continued through August 1997. The Company's ability
to meet its future obligations is dependent upon the success of its products
in the marketplace and its ability to raise capital until the Company's
products can generate sufficient operating revenues. These factors raise doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management
believes that actions presently being taken will provide for the Company to
continue as a going concern. Such actions include the generation of revenues
from operations, raising capital from the exercise of Common Stock purchase
warrants, and/or the deferral of anticipated expenditures in order to
satisfactorily meet its obligations.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents represents all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less. At June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997 cash
equivalents were comprised of a money market fund and certificate of deposit.
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
Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon installation and
customer acceptance of the related equipment. License fee revenue is
recognized upon the usage of the Company's credit card activated control
systems.

Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Such
research and development costs amounted to approximately $344,000 and $224,000
for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and approximately
$737,000 for the period January 16, 1992 (date of inception) to June 30, 1997.
These costs are reflected in general and administrative and compensation in
the accompanying financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach
whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the
difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes. Such differences result from
differences in the timing of recognition by the Company of certain accrued
expenses, and the periods of amortization and depreciation of certain assets.
Accounting for Stock Options
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FASB 123), "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. FASB 123 provides companies with a choice to follow the
provisions of FASB 123 in determination of stock-based compensation expense or
to continue with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). The Company has elected
to follow the provisions of APB 25. Under APB 25, because the exercise price
of the Company's stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the
underlying Common Stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized. The effect of applying FASB 123 to the Company's stock-based
awards results in net loss and net loss per common share that are not
materially different from amounts reported and, accordingly, the FASB 123 pro
forma disclosures have not been provided.

Loss Per Common Share
Loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year, including the weighted average
impact of the 2,500,000 common shares held in escrow in connection with the
June 1997 Placement (Note 9). No exercise of stock options, purchase rights,
stock purchase warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock and cumulative
preferred dividends was assumed because the assumed exercise of these
securities would be antidilutive. The President's 4,365,000 common shares held
in escrow (Note 11) are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating
the loss per common share for all periods presented.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31,
1997. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share,
the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement
No, 128 on the calculation of the Company's primary and fully diluted earnings
per share is not expected to be material.

5. Related Party Transactions
At June 30, 1997 and 1996 approximately $27,000 and $14,000 respectively, of
the Company's accounts payable are due to several shareholders for various legal
and technical services performed.
During July 1996, the Company formalized certain agreements with two Directors
of the Company who performed consulting services during fiscal year 1996.
During the year ended June 30, 1996, $98,600 was paid for such services
performed.
6. Commitments
The Company conducts its operations from various facilities under operating
leases. Rental expense under such arrangements was approximately $94,000 and
$69,000, respectively, during the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and
$327,000 for the period January 16, 1992 (date of inception) to June 30, 1997.
During the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company entered into
agreements to lease $22,200 and $34,400, respectively, of computer equipment
which has been accounted for as capital leases. This computer equipment is
included in control systems at June 30, 1997 and 1996. Lease amortization of
$17,600 and $5,700 is included in depreciation expense for the year ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

7. Income Taxes
At June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had net tax operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $8,181,000 and $5,176,000, respectively, to
offset future taxable income expiring through 2012. At June 30, 1997 and 1996,
the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $3,402,000 and $2,537,000,
respectively, which were reduced by a valuation allowance of the same amount
as the realization of these deferred tax assets are not certain. The deferred
tax assets arose primarily from the use of different accounting methods for
financial statement and income tax reporting purposes as follows:
June 30
1997 1996
----------- -----------
Deferred tax asset:
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 3,081,000 $ 2,174,000

=========== ===========
$ -- $ --
=========== ===========
As of June 30, 1993, the timing and manner in which the Company can utilize
operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions for capitalized items
in any year was limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding
changes in ownership of corporations. The Company believes that such
limitation will have an impact on the ultimate realization of its
carryforwards and future tax deductions (generated through June 30, 1993).
Cumulative losses generated for income tax purposes after June 30, 1993
through June 30, 1997, may be subject to similar limitation.

8. Preferred Stock
The Preferred Stock authorized may be issued from time to time in one or more
series, each series with such rights, preferences or restrictions as determined
by the Board of Directors. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
right to ten votes and is convertible at any time into ten shares of Common
Stock (each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one voting right). For
the period from March 24, 1997 to December 31, 1997, each share of Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible into twelve shares of Common Stock. Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock provides for an annual cumulative dividend of $1.50
per share payable to the shareholders of record on February 1 and August 1 of
each year. Cumulative unpaid dividends at June 30, 1997 and 1996 amounted to
$2,837,086 and $1,758,490 respectively. Cumulative unpaid dividends are
convertible into common shares at $1.00 per common share at the option of the
shareholder. For the period from March 24, 1997 to December 31, 1997, the
cumulative unpaid dividends are convertible into common shares at $.83 per
common share. During the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, certain holders of
the Preferred Stock converted 24,170 and 20,175 shares, respectively, into
273,800 and 201,750 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Certain of these
shareholders also converted cumulative preferred dividends of $117,149 and
$41,626 respectively, into 133,158 and 41,626 shares of Common Stock at June 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively. The Series A Preferred Stock may be called for
redemption at the option of the Board of Directors at any time on and after
January 1, 1998 for a price of $11.00 per share plus payment of all accrued and
unpaid dividends. In the event of any liquidation, the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock issued shall be entitled to receive $10.00 for each
outstanding share plus all cumulative unpaid dividends. If funds are
insufficient for this distribution, the assets available will be distributed
ratably among the preferred shareholders.

9. Common Stock Transactions
The following is a summary of significant equity transactions:
o On June 23, 1997, the Company closed on a private placement offering of
Convertible Debentures (the Placement) resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of $451,169 ($500,000 less offering costs of $48,831). The
Placement was issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933
to five qualified purchasers, as defined, (Purchasers). The Placement is
convertible by the Purchasers into Common Stock at any time after 45 days
from issuance (August 7, 1997) and through the Placement's maturity of June
1, 2002 at the option of the Purchaser. The Company has the right to redeem
the unconverted portion of the Placement at any time after June 23, 1998
through June 1, 2002. The conversion or redemption rate (hereinafter
referred to as conversion rate) is equal to the lesser of 100% of the
average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days
immediately preceding June 23, 1997, or 65% of the average closing bid
price of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the date prior to the conversion or redemption date. Upon maturity (unless
converted or redeemed prior thereto), the Placement would be automatically
converted into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate. As the terms
and intent of the Placement were to raise equity for the Company through
the issuance of Common Stock, and the terms of the Placement do not provide
for the repayment of principal in cash, the substance of the Placement is
that of an equity transaction and, accordingly, the net proceeds have been
reflected as Common Stock in the accompanying financial statements.
As a requirement to the closure of the Placement, the Company placed an
aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in escrow to ensure such
shares would be available upon conversion of the Placement by the
Purchasers. As the 2,500,000 shares held in escrow were legally issued
and outstanding at June 30, 1997, such shares are included in the common
shares issued and outstanding in the accompanying balance sheet. Upon
conversion by the Purchasers, the Placement and escrow shares will be
canceled and the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock will be
issued to the Purchasers. During August 1997, $375,000 of the Placement
was converted (at varying prices) into 1,377,942 of common shares, and
the escrowed shares were reduced to 625,000.

9. Common Stock Transactions (continued)
Certain affiliates of the placement agent were issued non-detachable
Common Stock purchase warrants, exercisable immediately, to purchase up
to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $.20 per warrant at
any time through June 22, 2002. No warrants were exercised at June 30,
1997.
o During March 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,100,000
private placement offering of 110 units at a unit price of $10,000. Each
unit included 2,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and 40,000 1997
Common Stock warrants at an exercise price of $.20 through August 31, 1997
and $.40 thereafter for five years after the termination of the offering.
During June 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the reduction
of this offering to a maximum of 40 units at an aggregate sales price of
$400,000. As of June 30, 1997, 40 units were sold, generating net proceeds
of $361,189 ($400,000 less offering costs of $38,811). The subscriptions
receivable of $60,000 as of June 30, 1997, recorded in connection with this
offering, were received in August, 1997. The Company terminated this

weighted-average assumptions for fiscal years 1997 and 1996; risk-free interest
rate of 5.5%; an expected life of 2 years; no expected cash dividend payments on
common stock and volatility factors of the expected market price of the

11. Escrow and Cancellation Arrangements
At the request of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, all of the executive
officers and directors of the Company serving at the commencement of the
initial public offering of the Company agreed to place in escrow 8,395,000
shares, as adjusted, beneficially owned by them until December 29, 1996. Under
certain circumstances as outlined by the Pennsylvania Securities Commission,
the President's shares may be held in escrow for an additional period of time,
but not later than June 30, 1998. Any additional shares acquired by the
executive officers and directors will also be held in escrow. The executive
officers and directors have agreed not to sell, pledge, or transfer, directly
or indirectly, any of the Common Stock held in escrow or any options to
acquire stock they may own. Additionally, the President of the Company has
agreed that his 4,365,000 escrowed common shares would be canceled by the
Company and would no longer be issued and outstanding unless certain
performance measures as specified by the Commission are achieved by June 30,
1998. If the performance measures are achieved, the common shares released
from escrow will result in a compensatory charge to the Company's operations.
The charge will be based on the fair value of the Company's common shares on
the date the shares are released from escrow. During the years ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, there was no such charge to operations. The 4,365,000 shares of
Common Stock held by the President are not considered outstanding for purposes
of calculating the loss per common share for all periods presented.
12. Events (Unaudited) Subsequent to the Date of the Report of Independent

generating total gross proceeds to the Company of $350,640.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, certain holders of the Company's
Preferred Stock converted 131,220 shares into 1,574,640 shares of Common Stock.
Certain of these shareholders also converted cumulative preferred dividends of
$528,007 into 637,410 shares of Common Stock.
During September 1997, the Company's Board of Directors reduced the exercise
price of the 1995 Common Stock Purchase Warrants and the 1996 Common Stock
Purchase Warrants from $.50 to $.25 through October 31, 1997. Thereafter the

Company's Common Stock.
During November 1997, the Company entered into a new Employment and Non-
Competition Agreement (the Employment Agreement) with the Company's President
through June 30, 2000, and providing for a base annual salary of $100,000. The
Employment Agreement is automatically renewed annually thereafter unless
cancelled by either the President or the Company. In connection with the
Employment Agreement, the President cancelled an aggregate of 4,365,000 shares
of Common Stock held in escrow in accordance with the terms as described in Note
11.
The Employment Agreement also granted the President in the event of a "USA
Transaction", irrevocable and fully vested stock rights equal to that number of
shares of Common Stock that when issued to him equals five percent of all of the
then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. The President
is not required to pay any additional compensation for such shares. The stock
rights have no expiration and are not affected by the Presidents termination of
employment. The term USA Transaction is defined as (i) the acquisition of fifty-
one percent or more of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company or
(ii) the approval by shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of the Company, or the sale,
transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company.
On January 16, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a private placement
offering to be conducted pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Act for
up to $700,000 of the Company's securities. The offering would consist of up to
70 units at $10,000 each, with each unit consisting of 2,000 shares of Preferred
Stock and 50,000 1998-A Warrants. The 1998-A Warrants enable the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock for 5.15 on or before June 1, 1998, and for
5.40 thereafter. The Company anticipates the offering would commence on or about
January 28, 1998, and would terminate on or before February 28, 1998.
