(rather than $.40 as previously provided). Therefore, the Company included
another 11,631,253 shares underlying these notes in Amendment no. 1 filed April
17, 2003 (for an aggregate of 23,262,506 shares). The Company has decided to

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
OUR COMPANY
USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was founded
in January 1992. The Company is a developer and supplier of cashless payment and
control network systems and provider of related services. The Company's patented
technologies include networked cashless transaction solutions and point of
purchases devices. In May 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of Stitch
Networks Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Stitch"), and operates Stitch as
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Stitch also is a developer and
supplier of cashless payment and control network technologies. Through the
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Bayview Technology Group, LLC
(Bayview) in July 2003, the Company now designs and manufactures patented energy
conservation devices for equipment such as laser printers, monitors, office
peripherals, refrigerated vending machines and glass front merchandisers
(referred to as slide or visi coolers).
OUR BUSINESS
The Company's point of purchase device, called e-Port or TransAct, facilitates
the monitor and control, the cashless payment of product and/or services and the
collection of sales and inventory data for the host equipment it is connected to
or embedded in. Examples of host equipment include copiers, faxes, personal
computers, printers, vending machines and kiosks. Our customers connect these
devices to a network, developed and operated by the Company, which further
facilitates the control and monitoring, the settlement of cashless payments and
the reporting of sales and inventory data collected at the point of purchase.
The Company's systems support multiple cashless payments methods, such as
payments via credit/debit cards, smart cards, Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID), Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), and cellular telephones.
Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized on the terms of
freight-on-board shipping point, or upon installation and acceptance of the
equipment if installation services are purchased for the related equipment.
Transaction processing revenue is recognized upon the usage of the Company's
cashless payment and control services and network. Service fees for access to
the Company's equipment and network are recognized on a monthly basis. Product
revenues are recognized from the sale of products from the Company's vending
machines upon purchase and acceptance by the vending customer. Product revenues
recognized from the sale of energy conservation products are recognized when
shipped to the customer.
OUR MARKET
The Company has focused on the Vending, Kiosk and Office Equipment industries in
which to sell its networked, cashless payment systems, and has developed product
offerings in each of these channels. The Company markets and sells its product
and services directly to the owner, operator of the equipment and/or to
equipment distributors and resellers established in each of the respective
markets.
5
Vending/Kiosk: The Company offers several variations of e-Port to the vending or
kiosk industry such as an audit only device and an audit device coupled with
cashless payment capabilities. Audit only devices allow the operator of the
vending machine to remotely monitor the sales, inventory and diagnostic
information of the machine it is embedded into. In addition, our point of
purchase device allows the operator of the machine to offer their customers an
alternative payment method to cash when purchasing product. Another variation of
our e-Port product is our multi-media device. The multi-media e-Port client
product is equipped with both the audit and cashless payment features, referred
to above, but also includes the capability of displaying interactive advertising
and content via a LCD color touch screen. Information obtained at the vending
machine by our e-Port client device is transferred back to our network and made
available to the operator via the Internet or email.
Office Equipment: The TransAct can be sold separately and connected to office
equipment already owned by the purchaser or it can be coupled with office
equipment sold by the Company. The combined TransAct and office equipment
product is called the Business Express and is sold to hotels wishing to provide
their guests with 24x7x365 access to business center services. The same benefits
of remote sales and inventory data monitoring, as described above, are available
from the TransAct or Business Express product.
Energy Conservation Products
With the acquisition of Bayview in July 2003, the Company has acquired the
following additional products:
- - VendingMiser(TM)installs in a cold drink vending machine and reduces the
power consumption of the vending machine by an average of 46%;
- - CoolerMiser reduces the energy used by sliding glass or pull open
glass-front coolers that contain non-perishable goods;
- - SnackMiser reduces the amount of electricity used by non-refrigerated snack
vending machines;
- - MonitorMiser Plus is a computer monitor power controller. It works with all
operating systems and performs by powering down the monitor based upon
keyboard or mouse activity;
- - LaserMiser provides energy conservation to laser printers, shutting them
down when they are idle. It is a plug-and-play device that is software
transparent and capable of handling any laser printer with a parallel or
serial connection;
- - Internal VendingMiser (IVM) is the second generation of the VendingMiser in
development. It installs into cold drink vending machines and has the
capability to control the cooling system and the advertising lights
separately.
Research and Development Costs
6
The Company continuously pursues new product offerings related to our existing
technology and accordingly invests resources and capital in research and
development. For the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company expensed
approximately $1,505,000 and $1,187,000, respectively for the development of our
proprietary technology and is reflected in general and administrative expense in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
ABOUT OUR OFFERING
Our selling shareholders are as of the date of this prospectus as follows:
* holders of 41,064,862 shares
* holders of unexercised options and warrants which if exercised would represent
22,511,034 shares (based upon the price of our shares of $.30 on October 22,
2003, all of these options and warrants have exercise prices less than this
share price)
* holders of senior notes which if converted would represent 31,359,347 shares
Based upon the shares outstanding as of June 30, 2003 of 218,741,042 if all of
these warrants and options are exercised, and all of these senior notes are
converted, we would have 272,611,423 shares outstanding.
These shares would be offered by our selling shareholders at the market price at
the time of resale. Our selling shareholders may also sell their shares to other
investors in a transaction not on the open market. There is no requirement that
our selling shareholders sell their shares pursuant to this prospectus.
We will not receive any of the proceeds raised by the offering. We would receive
proceeds from the exercise by the selling shareholders of the warrants or
options referred to above.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock is very risky. You should be aware that you
could lose the entire amount of your investment. Prior to making an investment
decision, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other
information contained in this prospectus.
1. We have a history of losses since inception and if we continue to incur
losses the price of our shares can be expected to fall.
We have experienced losses since inception. We expect to continue to incur
losses for the foreseeable future as we expend substantial resources on sales,
marketing, and research and development of our products. From our inception
through June 30, 2003, our cumulative losses are $75.2 million. For our fiscal
years ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, we have incurred net losses of $17,314,807,
and $21,965,499 respectively. If we continue to incur losses, the price of our
common stock can be expected to fall.
2. Our existence is dependent on our ability to raise capital which may not be
available.
7
There is currently limited experience upon which to assume that our business
will prove financially profitable or generate more than nominal revenues. From
inception, we have generated funds primarily through the sale of securities.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to continue to sell additional
securities. We expect to raise funds in the future through sales of our debt or
equity securities until such time, if ever, as we are able to operate
profitably. There can be no assurance given that we will be able to obtain funds
in such manner or on terms that are beneficial to us. We are currently using
funds in our operations on a monthly basis of approximately $750,000 and would
require funds from the sales of securities of approximately $9,000,000 to fund
our operations for the next twelve months. Our inability to obtain needed
funding can be expected to have a material adverse effect on our operations and
our ability to achieve profitability. If we fail to generate increased revenues
or fail to sell additional securities you may lose all or a substantial portion
of your investment.
3. We received an opinion from our auditor which raises substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our auditors, Ernst and Young, LLP, have included an explanatory paragraph in
their report on our June 30, 2003 consolidated financial statements indicating
that as of June 30, 2003, there is substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. We will require additional funds in the future, and
there can be no assurance that any independent auditors` report on our future
financial statements will not include a similar explanatory paragraph if we are
unable to raise sufficient funds or generate sufficient cash from operations to
cover the cost of our operations. The existence of the explanatory paragraph may
adversely affect our relationship with prospective customers, suppliers and
potential investors, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
4. We depend on our key personnel and if they would leave us, our business could
be adversely affected.
We are dependent on key management personnel, particularly the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, George R. Jensen, Jr. The loss of services of Mr.
Jensen or other executive officers would dramatically affect our business
prospects. Certain of our employees are particularly valuable to us because:
o they have specialized knowledge about our company and operations;
o they have specialized skills that are important to our operations; or
o they would be particularly difficult to replace.
We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Jensen that expires in
June 30, 2005. We have also entered into employment agreements with other
executive officers, each of which contain non-compete agreements. We have
obtained a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $2,000,000 on Mr.
Jensen, and a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $1,000,000 on our
Vice-President-Research and Development, Haven Brock Kolls, Jr.
We do not have and do not intend to obtain key man life insurance coverage on
any of our other executive officers. As a result, we are exposed to the costs
associated with the death of these key employees.
5. USA's dependence on proprietary technology and limited ability to protect our
intellectual property may adversely affect our ability to compete.
8
A successful challenge to our ownership of our technology could materially
damage our business prospects. Our technology may infringe upon the proprietary
rights of others. Our success is dependent in part on our ability to obtain
patent protection for our proprietary products, maintain trade secret protection
and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
To date, we have 35 pending patent applications, and intend to file applications
for additional patents covering our future products, although there can be no
assurance that we will do so. In addition, there can be no assurance that we
will maintain or prosecute these applications. The United States Government
granted us forty-five patents as of September 30, 2003. See "Business - Patents,
Trademarks and Proprietary Information." There can be no assurance that:
o any of the remaining patent applications will be granted to us;
o we will develop additional products that are patentable or do not
infringe the patents of others;
o any patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive
advantages or adequate protection for our products;
o any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented by others; or
o any of our products would not infringe the patents of others.
If any of the products are found to have infringed any patent, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses to continue to manufacture and
license such product or that we will not have to pay damages as a result of such
infringement. Even if a patent application is granted for any of our products,
there can be no assurance that the patented technology will be a commercial
success or result in any profits to us.
6. Competition from others with greater resources could prevent USA from
increasing revenue and achieving profitability.
Competition from other companies which are well established and have
substantially greater resources may reduce our profitability. Many of our
competitors have established reputations for success in the development, sale
and service of high quality products. We face competition from the following
groups:
o companies offering automated, credit card activated control systems in
connection with facsimile machines, personal computers, debit card
purchase/revalue stations, and use of the Internet and e-mail which
directly compete with our products. See "Business-Competition";
o companies which have developed unattended, credit card activated
control systems currently used in connection with public telephones,
prepaid telephone cards, gasoline dispensing machines, or vending
machines and are capable of developing control systems in direct
competition with USA; and
o businesses which provide access to the Internet and personal computers
to hotel guests. Although these services are not credit card activated,
such services would compete with USA's Business Express(R).
Competition may result in lower profit margins on our products or may reduce
potential profits or result in a loss of some or all of our customer base. To
the extent that our competitors are able to offer more attractive technology,
our ability to compete could be adversely affected.
7. The termination of any of our relationships with third parties upon whom we
rely for supplies and services that are critical to our products could adversely
affect our business and delay achievement of our business plan.
9
We depend on arrangements with third parties for a variety of component parts
used in our products. We have contracted with RadiSys Corporation and Masterwork
Electronics to assist us to develop and manufacture our e-Port(TM) products. For
other components, we do not have supply contracts with any of our third-party
suppliers and we purchase components as needed from time to time. See
"Business-Procurement". We have contracted with IBM to develop our network
services so that these services are Internet capable as well as interact with
our proposed media capable e-Post(TM). We have contracted with IBM to host our
network in a secure, 24/7 environment to ensure reliability of our network
services. If these business relationships are terminated, the implementation of
our business plan may be delayed until an alternative supplier or service
provider can be retained. If we are unable to find another source or one that is
comparable, the content and quality of our products could suffer and our
business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.
8. We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future and
therefore investors should not anticipate cash dividends on their investment.
The holders of our common stock and series A preferred stock are entitled to
receive dividends when, and if, declared by our board of directors. Our board of
directors does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but
instead intends to retain any and all earnings to finance the growth of the
business. To date, we have not paid any cash dividends on the common stock or
series A preferred stock. Although we issued a special stock dividend in August
1995 consisting of one-third of a share of common stock for each share of
outstanding series A preferred stock, there can be no assurance that cash
dividends will ever be paid on the common stock.
In addition, our articles of incorporation prohibit the declaration of any
dividends on the Common Stock unless and until all unpaid and accumulated
dividends on the Series A preferred stock have been declared and paid. Through
June 30, 2003, the unpaid and cumulative dividends on the series A preferred
stock equal $5,913,107. The unpaid and cumulative dividends on the series A
preferred stock are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of
$10.00 per share at the option of the shareholder. Through June 30, 2003,
$2,662,004 of unpaid and cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock
were converted into 286,377 shares of common stock. See "Description of
Securities-Series A Convertible Preferred Stock." This registration statement
does not cover the shares issued by us upon conversion of the dividends on our
preferred stock.
9. We may fail to gain widespread market acceptance of our products and not
generate sufficient revenues or profit margins to become successful.
There can be no assurance that demand for our products will be sufficient to
enable us to become profitable. Likewise, no assurance can be given that we will
be able to install the TransActs and e-Ports at enough locations or sell
equipment utilizing our network to enough locations to achieve significant
revenues or that our operations can be conducted profitably. Alternatively, the
locations which would utilize the network may not be successful locations and
our revenues would be adversely affected. We may in the future lose locations
utilizing our products to competitors, or may not be able to install our
products at competitor's locations. In addition, there can be no assurance that
our products could evolve or be improved to meet the future needs of the market
place.
10
10. The lack of an established trading market may make it difficult to transfer
our stock and you may not be able to sell your shares on our trading market.
Our Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Although there is limited
trading in the Common Stock, there is no established trading market. Until there
is an established trading market, holders of the common stock may find it
difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of the
common stock. See "Description of Securities - Shares Eligible For Future Sale"
and "Market For Common Stock."
11. There are rules governing low-priced stocks that may make it more difficult
for you to resell your shares.
Our common stock is currently considered a "penny stock" under federal
securities laws since its market price is below $5.00 per share. Penny stock
rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on
broker-dealers who sell our shares to certain investors.
Broker-dealers who sell penny stock to certain types of investors are required
to comply with the SEC's regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock. If
an exemption is not available, these regulations require broker-dealers to:
- - make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the
purchaser;
- - receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction; and -
provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser.
- - These rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market
in or trade our shares. This, in turn, may affect your ability to
resell those shares in the public market.
12. The substantial market overhang of our shares and registered resales under
this prospectus will tend to depress the market price of our shares.
The substantial number of our shares currently eligible for sale in the open
market will tend to depress the market price of our shares. See "Description of
Securities--Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Market for Securities". As of
June 30, 2003, these shares consisted of the following:
- - 218,741,042 shares of Common Stock
- - 524,492 shares of Preferred Stock
- - 22,511,034 shares underlying Common Stock options and warrants; and
- - 31,359,347 shares underlying our Convertible Senior Notes.
13. Sales of shares eligible for future sale from exercise of warrants and
options could depress the market price of our common stock.
We presently have issued and outstanding options to purchase 2,907,485 shares of
our common stock and warrants to purchase 62,127,724 shares. The shares
underlying all of these options and warrants have been registered and may be
freely sold upon issuance. Market sales of large amounts of our common stock, or
the potential for those sales even if they do not actually occur, may have the
effect of depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, if our
future financing needs require us to issue additional shares of common stock or
securities convertible into common stock, the supply of common stock available
for resale could be increased which could stimulate trading activity and cause
the market price of our common stock to drop, even if our business is doing
well.

14. Our subsidiary Stitch Networks is currently in default on a bank loan which
may affect our liquidity and our ability to raise capital.
Since March 2003, our subsidiary, Stitch Networks has been in default under a
bank loan in the amount of approximately $167,000 for non-payment of this amount
to the bank. To date, the bank has not taken any legal action to collect the
amount due. The obligation due to the bank is secured by the accounts receivable
of Stitch Networks. The continuing failure of Stitch to pay the bank could
affect our ability to raise equity capital in the future. If we cannot negotiate
a satisfactory payment arrangement with the bank, we intend to pay off this debt
in full from working capital. In addition, when Stitch is required to repay the
amount due, the funds required to repay the bank would adversely affect our
liquidity.
15. We are obligated to make substantial principal and interest payments to the
holders of the Senior Notes which may not be available or would use our
available working capital.
As of June 30, 2003, we have approximately $1,486,000 of unsecured senior notes
due on December 31, 2003, approximately $1,279,105 of unsecured senior notes due
on December 31, 2004, approximately $3,526,150 of unsecured notes due on
December 31, 2005, approximately $3,215,500 of unsecured notes due on December
31, 2006, and approximately $3,040,063 of unsecured notes due on December 31,
2007. These notes accrue cash interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
year. We are required to make quarterly interest payments totaling approximately
$376,000, or $1,505,000 each year.
As of September 30, 2003, we have approximately $370,000 of unsecured senior
notes due on December 31, 2003, approximately $571,009 of unsecured senior notes
due on December 31, 2004, approximately $3,426,150 of unsecured notes due on
December 31, 2005, approximately $3,156,000 of unsecured notes due on December
31, 2006, and approximately $3,523,492 of unsecured notes due on December 31,
2007. These notes accrue cash interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
year. We are required to make quarterly interest payments totaling approximately
$331,400, or $1,325,000 each year.
Until the Senior Notes have been paid by us, they will be reflected as a
liability on our financial statements, net of the related unamortized discount
and other issuance costs.
Our ability to satisfy the debt obligations is dependent on our future
performance, the success of our product lines and on our ability to raise
capital. Our performance is also subject to financial, business and market
factors affecting our business and operations.
We anticipate that the Senior Notes will be paid from cash from operations, as
well as proceeds from securities offerings. However, there can be no assurance
that we will meet our obligations to pay quarterly interest on or the principal
amount of the senior notes at maturity. The payment of the interest and
principal on these notes would utilize our available working capital which would
not be available for other purposes.
16. Our exchange of New Senior Notes to our 2004 Senior Note holders
may have been in violation of the registration provisions of the securities
laws. As a result, certain of our note holders may be granted the right to
rescind the exchange and demand the return of their old note to them by us which
matures in December 2004. The repayment of these notes in December 2004 would
adversely affect our liquidity.
12
The holders of $4,067,491 of our Senior Notes due December 31, 2007,
may have a right to rescind the exchange of these notes for notes originally due
December 31, 2004, and demand that we return to them the $4,067,491 of notes due
December 31, 2004. During the period from March 2003 through September 2003, we
granted to each holder of the notes due December 31, 2004 the right to extend
the notes until December 31, 2007 and in such event agreed that the conversion
rate of the note would be reduced from $.40 to $.20. On April 14, 2003 we filed
a Registration Statement which included the shares underlying the 2007 notes.
Because the exchange offering was not completed prior to the filing of this
registration statement, the exchange offer may be deemed to have been in
violation of the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act. As a result,
we removed all of the shares underlying the 2007 Notes from this registration
statement. Generally, the statute of limitations for this type of claim is one
year after the date of the alleged violations and if successful, would entitle
the Note holders to rescind the issuance of the new notes to them and demand a
return of the 2004 Senior Notes. If all of the note holders demanded the return
of their notes, we would be obligated to repay the $4,067,491 principal amount
on December 31, 2004 rather than on December 31, 2007. This repayment could
significantly exceed our cash reserves and require us to borrow funds and would
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of our Common Stock by
the selling shareholders. The list of the selling shareholders entitled to
receive the net proceeds from any sales of our common stock begins on page 46 of
this prospectus. We will, however, receive proceeds from the exercise of any
options or warrants by the selling shareholders.
As of the date of this prospectus, we would receive $1,958,302 of proceeds from
the exercise of all these options and warrants at the stated exercise price.
Because all of these options and warrants have exercise prices of less than $.17
per share, all of these options and warrants are in the money as of the date of
this prospectus.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. We believe the policies and estimates related to revenue
recognition, software development costs, impairment of long-lived assets,
goodwill and intangible assets, and investments represent our critical
accounting policies and estimates. Future results may differ from our estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized on the terms of
freight-on-board shipping point, or upon installation and acceptance of the
equipment if installation services are purchased for the related equipment.
Transaction processing revenue is recognized upon the usage of the Company's
cashless payment and control network. Service fees for access to the Company's
equipment and network services are recognized on a monthly basis. Product
revenues are recognized from the sale of products from Company owned vending
machines when there is purchase and acceptance by the vending customer.
Customers have the ability to return vending products for a full refund. The
Company estimates an allowance of product returns at the date of sale. Product
revenue recognized from the sale of energy conservation products are recognized
when shipped to the customer.
13
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company capitalizes software development costs pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 (SFAS No. 86), "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", after
technological feasibility of the software is established and through the
product's availability for general release to the Company's customers. All costs
incurred in the research and development of new software and costs incurred
prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as
incurred. Amortization of software development costs commences when the product
becomes available for general release to customers. Amortization of software
development costs is calculated as the greater of the amount computed using (i)
the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current
and anticipated future gross revenues of that product or (ii) the straight-line
method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The Company
reviews the unamortized software development costs at each balance sheet date
and, if necessary, will write down the balance to net realizable value if the
unamortized costs exceed the net realizable value of the asset. During May 2000,
the Company reached technological feasibility for the development of the
multi-media e-Port client product and related enhanced network and, accordingly,
the Company commenced capitalization of software development costs related to
this product and network. Costs capitalized through 2002 were $5.1 million,
which included capitalized interest of approximately $493,000, pursuant to SFAS
No. 34, "Capitalization of Interest Costs".
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the multi-media e-Port(TM) client
product and enhanced network became available for general release to the
Company's customers. The multi-media e-Port(TM) client product is equipped with
both the audit and cashless payment features, but also includes the capability
of displaying interactive advertising and content via a LCD screen. During this
quarter, Management performed an evaluation of the commercial success and
preliminary market acceptance of the multi-media e-Port(TM) client product and
enhanced network and as a result of this evaluation the Company determined that
the estimated future revenues less costs to complete and dispose of the
multi-media e-Port client product was zero. Therefore, the Company wrote down
$2,663,000 of software development costs related to the multi-media e-Port
client product. The unamortized balance of the software development costs after
the impairment charge is being amortized over an estimated useful life of two
years. Amortization expense was approximately $1,331,000 during the year ended
June 30, 2003 and $2,996,000 during the year ended June 30, 2002 (including the
above impairment adjustment of $2,663,000.) Such amortization is reflected in
cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS
The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on July 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No.
144, the Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company reviewed
certain long-lived assets (vending machines) and determined that such assets
were impaired. These vending machines were used and intended use in the
Company's Kodak Program to sell disposable cameras and film. Management
determined that it was more likely than not that the vending machines would be
disposed of before the end ot their previously estimated useful lives. The
14
estimated undiscounted cash flows for this group of assets was less than the
carrying value of the related assets. As a result, the Company recorded a charge
of approximately $321,000 representing the difference between the fair value as
determined from a quoted market price and carrying value of the group of assets.
Such amount is reflected in depreciation expense in the 2003 consolidated
statement of operations.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142 (SFAS No. 142) "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets," under which
Goodwill is no longer permitted to be amortized to earnings, but instead is
subject to periodic testing for impairment. Intangible assets with finite lives
will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Although the
Company did not adopt Statement No. 142 until fiscal year 2003, the
non-amortization provisions of Statement No. 142 for combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 were applicable for the Company effective July 1, 2001.
Under SFAS No. 142, the Company tested goodwill for impairment during fiscal
year 2003 using the transitional two-step process prescribed by SFAS No. 142.
The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential
impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company with its net book value
(or carrying amount), including goodwill. If the fair value of the Company
exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired and the second
step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of the
Company exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test
is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step
of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the Company's
goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of
the Company's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an
impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Determining the
fair value of the Company under the first step of the goodwill impairment test
and determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a the
Company (including unrecognized intangible assets) under the second step of the
goodwill impairment test is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of
significant estimates and assumptions. Similarly, estimates and assumptions are
used in determining the fair value of other intangible assets. These estimates
and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment
charge is recognized and also the magnitude of any such charge. To assist in the
process of determining goodwill impairment, the Company performed an internal
valuation and estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis. This
approach uses significant estimates and assumptions, which include projected
future cash flows (including timing), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent
in future cash flows and a perpetual growth rate.
The Company performed an annual impairment test of goodwill as of April 1, 2003,
as prescribed by SFAS and concluded that there were no impairment indicators.
The Company will perform the impairment tests required under SFAS No. 142 on an
annual basis unless other indicators are present.
INVESTMENT
The Company's accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". Management determines the appropriate
classifications of securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such
designation as of each balance sheet date. Available for sale securities are
carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in a
separate component of stockholders' equity in other comprehensive income (loss).
15
A judgmental aspect of accounting for investments involves determining whether
an other-than-temporary decline in value of the investment has been sustained.
If it has been determined that an investment has sustained an
other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its
fair value, by a charge to earnings. Such evaluation is dependent on the
specific facts and circumstances. Factors that are considered by the Company
each quarter in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has
occurred include: the market value of the security in relation to its cost
basis; the financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to
retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in
the market value of the investment. In evaluating the factors above for
available-for-sale securities, management presumes a decline in value to be
other-than-temporary if the quoted market price of the security is below the
investment's cost basis for a period of six months or more. However, the
presumption of an other-than-temporary decline in these instances may be
overcome if there is persuasive evidence indicating that the decline is
temporary in nature (e.g., strong operating performance of investee, historical
volatility of investee, etc.).
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company invested in the Jubilee
Investment Trust, PLC (Jubilee), a United Kingdom investment trust whose shares
trade on the London Stock Exchange. The investment in Jubilee has been accounted
for as "available for sale". At June 30, 2003, the Company determined in
accordance with SFAS 115, that the decline in the market value of this
investment was "other than temporary", as the security's quoted market price was
below the investments's cost basis for a period of six months or more.
Accordingly, the Company wrote down the investment to its fair value of
$904,049, realizing an impairment loss of $1,945,951.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains certain forward looking statements regarding, among
other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company.
For this purpose, forward looking statements are any statements contained herein
that are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to,
those preceded by or that include the words, "believes," "expects,"
"anticipates," or similar expressions. Those statements are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The
forward looking information is based on various factors and was derived using
numerous assumptions. Important factors that could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from those projected, include, for example (i) the
ability of the Company to generate sufficient sales to generate operating
profits, or to sell products at a profit, (ii) the ability of the Company to
raise funds in the future through sales of securities, (iii) whether the Company
is able to enter into binding agreements with third parties to assist in product
or network development, (iv) the ability of the Company to commercialize its
developmental products, or if actually commercialized, to obtain commercial
acceptance thereof, (v) the ability of the Company to compete with its
competitors to obtain market share, (vi) the ability of the Company to obtain
sufficient funds through operations or otherwise to repay its debt obligations,
including but not limited to Senior Notes, or to fund development and marketing
of its products; (vii) the ability of the Company to obtain approval of its
pending patent applications; or (viii) the ability of the Company to satisfy its
trade obligations included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Although
the Company believes that the forward looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that the Company's expectations will be
met.
16
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2003:
The fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 resulted in a net operating loss of
$21,965,499 (approximately $12.6 million non-cash) compared to a net loss of
$17,314,807 (approximately $11.0 million non-cash) for the comparable period in
the prior fiscal year.
Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 were $2,853,068, an increase of
$1,170,367 or 70% from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. This increase in
revenues is primarily due the inclusion of a full year of product revenues and
service and transaction fees relating to Stitch Networks Corporation, which
accounted for approximately $1,136,000 of the revenue increase. The remaining
increase was due to increased equipment sales of e-Port and Business Express.
The Company is continually increasing its sales efforts to sell its e-Port and
Business Express products.
Overall, operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 were
$17,912,707, representing a $886,842 or 5% increase over the prior period. The
significant changes in each category were as follows:
The decrease of $1,091,458 or 27% in cost of sales is due primarily to
amortization of software development costs of $1,331,000 in 2003 compared to
$2,996,000 in 2002. The 2002 amortization included a one-time impairment charge
of $2,663,000 that was non-recurring in fiscal year 2003. The remaining increase
in cost of sales is attributable to the increase in e-Port sales during fiscal
year 2003.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses was $673,380 or 9%. This
decrease is due to changes in the following expenses: consulting, advertising,
public relations and promotion expense decrease of $1,368,022 for reduced
corporate and investor relations services offset by increases in product
development and outside services of $926,395 for work on the network. We have
continued to utilize consultants for general business activities, including
network services, and have attempted whenever possible to pay for these services
on a non-cash basis through the issuance of debt and equity instruments.
Compensation expense increased $318,548 or 7% over last year. This increase is
due to the inclusion of salaries of $136,000 related to the Stitch operations as
well as an increase of approximately $200,000 in bonus expense during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2003 versus fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $811,478 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2003, which is attributable to increased depreciation expense
resulting from assets acquired in the Stitch acquisition, as well as the
impairment loss of $321,476 recorded on a group of vending machines during the
fiscal year in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
17
The Company incurred a charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003
relating to the modification of debt terms for certain 2000 and 2001 12%
Convertible Senior Notes in the amount of $1,521,654. There was no such
comparable charge in the prior year. This charge is for the unamortized debt
discount that remained on the Senior Notes that are scheduled to mature in
December 2003 and December 2004 whose terms were modified for those note holders
who agreed to extend the maturity of their notes in exchange for a reduction
in the conversion rate. The Company offered these note modifications (e.g.
extended maturity dates), and recognized the related non-cash charge to
operations in order to manage short-term cash flows.
In June 2003, the Company determined that the decline in the market value of the
investment in the Jubilee Investment Trust was "other than temporary."
Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss of $1,945,951, which is reflected as a
loss on investment in the 2003 Consolidated Statement of Operations. No such
comparable loss was recorded in the previous year.
Total interest expense increased by $2,991,166, due to the greater debt carried
by the Company to finance its operations. A significant portion of interest
expense is the amortization of non-cash debt discount.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Company had a net loss of
$17,314,807 (approximately $11.0 million non-cash).
Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were $1,682,701, an increase of
$231,699 or 16% from the prior year. This increase in revenues is directly
attributable to the acquisition of Stitch Networks Corporation, which accounted
for $210,068 of the increase. Other revenues remained flat with the prior year,
as the Company's sales efforts did not produce significant revenues due to
limited market acceptance, which was less than that anticipated by the Company.
The Company is continually increasing its sales efforts to sell its e-Ports and
its Business Express products.
Overall, operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were
$17,025,865, representing a $7,365,090 or 76% increase over the prior year. This
increase is due to the increases of $3,113,674 or 328% in cost of sales,
$2,332,938 or 42% in general and administrative expenses, $1,687,886 or 57% in
compensation expense, and $230,592 or 110% in depreciation and amortization
expense. The significant changes in each category are as follows:
The increase of $3,113,674 or 328% in cost of sales is due primarily to the
inclusion of amortization of software development costs and the cost of product
relating to Stitch Networks Corporation. In fiscal 2002, the Company recorded
software amortization of $2,996,000, including an impairment charge of
$2,663,000, in cost of sales as required by generally accepted accounting
principles. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company
determined that the estimated future revenues less costs to complete and dispose
the enhanced e-Port client product was zero, and therefore recorded this
impairment charge to reflect software development costs at their net realizable
value. There was no amortization expense for software development costs in
fiscal year ended 2001. The remaining increase in cost of sales is attributable
to the increase in sales, primarily related to the Stitch revenues in fiscal
2002.
The increase in general and administrative expenses of $2,332,938 or 42% is due
primarily to the increase in non-cash (securities) compensation in the amount of
$555,482 paid to our investment banker, increase in the non-cash (securities)
compensation paid to our public relations consultants in the amount of
$1,601,915, and the increase in non-cash (securities) compensation in the amount
of $657,238 paid to our other business consultants. Although these expenses did
not result in increased revenues during the fiscal year, we believe that
increased revenues may occur in the future. Our investment banker provided us
with various financial advisory services during the fiscal year, including
identifying strategic acquisition opportunities. Our public relations
consultants assisted us to attempt to introduce the Company and its products as
well as communicate with our shareholders. Our other business consultants
assisted us during the fiscal year with technical development of and advice in
connection with our network and e-Port products. The increases in our general
and administrative expenses were offset by a substantial decrease in legal
expenses of $992,181, primarily associated with termination of the Mail Boxes
Etc. litigation, which was settled in fiscal year 2001.
18
The increase in compensation expense of $1,687,886 or 57% from the previous year
is mainly attributable to an increase in stock bonus expense to Company officers
and employees of $1,248,545, which was a non-cash expense. The stock bonuses
were issued in order to adequately compensate and attempt to retain the
Company's management team intact. Corporate salaries increased $342,921 or 113%,
due to increased headcount by 16% during the year, primarily due to the addition
of Stitch Network's personnel during the last one and one half months of 2002.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $440,238 increased by $230,592, which
is directly attributable to the increased depreciation expense of the assets
acquired in the Stitch acquisition.
Interest expense increased by $864,929, primarily as a result of the non-cash
amortization to interest expense relating to the debt discount and beneficial
conversion features on the Company's convertible Senior Notes.
Plan of Operations
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, revenues generated from equipment
sales of Business Express and related hospitality offerings were approximately
$642,000. These revenues were a result of the Company's sales of equipment
directly to various hotel chains, and through distributors.
In May 2002, the Company acquired Stitch to increase product offerings and
related revenues. These revenues include product revenues based on purchases of
cameras and film and other products in development and the related monthly
service fees. The Stitch technology complimented and enhanced the Company's
existing technology. Additionally, certain Stitch personnel that the Company
believed would enhance its business were also acquired. Since the acquisition of
Stitch, the Company has eliminated a substantial number of former Stitch
employees, is in the process of combining technologies, consolidating facilities
and reducing duplicative operating expenses.
19
In March 2002, the Company signed an agreement with MEI (Mars Electronics), a
world leader in the manufacturing of electronic coin mechanisms and dollar bill
acceptors for the vending industry. MEI has agreed to sell and distribute an MEI
branded cashless payment system to be developed by the Company, as part of its
portfolio of vending solutions. Commercial availability is planned for fall 2003
and through October 13, 2003 no revenues have been generated from this
arrangement.
The Company's vending machines for the Kodak Program are purchased from
Dixie-Narco and the film and cameras are purchased directly from Eastman Kodak
Company. Product revenues through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 were
approximately $445,000. In May 2003, Stitch notified Maytag and Dixie-Narco that
they had breached the Kodak Agreement because Maytag had failed to create and
maintain during the term of the Kodak Agreement a customer focus team and Dixie
had failed to service, place and pick up the machines as required in the Kodak
Agreement. In June 2003, Maytag and Dixie-Narco indicated to Stitch that they
were not in breach of the Kodak Agreement and that Stitch had breached the
Agreement by failing to pay certain payments due thereunder. Maytag and Dixie
indicated that the customer focus team was terminated due to Stitch's breach of
the Kodak Agreement by failing to pay fees due thereunder and Stitch's not
taking delivery of vending machines ordered from Dixie. The parties have been
negotiating a resolution of this matter although no settlement has been
finalized. The Company believes that any settlement would involve the
termination of the Kodak Agreement. In such event, although revenues of the
Company would be reduced, because the Kodak program is and has been operating at
a loss, the termination of the program would eliminate these ongoing losses. The
Company also believes that any settlement would involve the payment of the
amount due by Stitch to U.S. Bancorp by the other parties to the Kodak Agreement
and the forgiveness of the payments due by Stitch to Dixie in the approximate
amount of $123,716.
In October 2002, the Company signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with ZiLOG
Corporation, a semiconductor company, which is a supplier of microprocessors to
the retail point of sale industry. The agreement allows the Company's
proprietary network software (USALive) to be embedded on a chip produced by
ZiLOG. The Company licenses its software to the purchaser and is entitled to a
fee for the licensing of each such chip. A second revenue stream could be
generated from purchasers who buy the retail point of sales terminals and begin
to use them, if they elect to use the USA network embedded on the chip. As of
October 13, 2003, no products have been available for commercial use and
accordingly, no revenues have been generated.
In laundry, American Sales Inc. (ASI) has signed a five-year agreement to
purchase units of Stitch's e-Suds laundry solution for their university
locations in the Midwest, with initial installations to begin in the fall of
2003. As of October 13, 2003 there have been no installations. The product is in
the final statges of commercialization and we anticiapte unit sales to begin
during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004.
On July 11, 2003, USA purchased Bayview pursuant to an asset purchase agreement.
Bayview designs and manufactures energy conservation devices for the vending
industry. The operating assets consist primarily of the patents and other
intellectual property relating to such devices and customer accounts. The
Bayview transaction adds a complementary product to the Company's available
offerings to the vending industry.
20
The purchase price for Bayview's assets was 20,000,000 shares of restricted
Common Stock of USA issued to Bayview, and a cash payment made by USA in the
amount of $631,247 to a creditor of Bayview (paid from USA's working capital).
The purchase price was determined as a result of an arms length negotiation
between Bayview and USA. To the best knowledge of USA, neither USA, any
affiliate, director, officer nor associate of any director or officer of USA had
any material relationship with Bayview prior to the transaction. The Company
also agreed to issue 170,000 shares to Robert McGarrah who provided certain
services to the Company in connection with this acquisition.
Bayview has agreed not to sell any of the Common Stock until July 11, 2004, at
which time Bayview shall be permitted to sell during each calendar month
thereafter (on a non-cumulative basis) the greater of (i) 250,000 shares of the
Stock, or (ii) that number of shares of the stock equal to five percent (5%) of
the immediately prior calendar month's trading volume of the shares of Common
stock of USA. USA has agreed to use its best efforts to register all of the
stock for resale by Bayview under the Act, for a period of one year (from July
11, 2004 through July 11, 2005).
Due to the Company's acquisition Bayview in July 2003, the Company now designs
and manufactures patented energy conservation devices for equipment such as
laser printers, monitors, office peripherals, refrigerated vending machines and
glass front merchandisers (referred to as slide or visi coolers). These energy
conservation products reduce power consumption of various types of equipment by
allowing the equipment to operate in power saving mode when full power mode is
not necessary. These devices, which include the VendingMiser, CoolerMiser,
SnackMiser, MonitorMiser and LaserMiser can use activity, occupancy,
temperature, timing or other various methods of determining which mode it should
be in. Route to market for the energy conservation products is much the same as
for the Company's e-Port technology, with the notable addition of governmental
and utility rebate and give-away programs where part or all of the cost of the
energy management products is covered by government funds available for energy
conservation projects.
In August and September 2003, the Company fulfilled an order for over 3,400
vendingMiser units from Austin Energy in Austin, Texas for a total sale and
proceeds of approximately $486,000.
In October 2003, the Company signed a strategic alliance agreement with Conopco,
Inc. dba Unilever Home & Personal Care North America as the exclusive provider
of laundry detergent solely for the e-Suds laundry solution to be used in
colleges and universities located in the United States. The agreement provides
for the Company to receive payments per injection of detergent as well as a
series of investment payments to be distributed to various operators who allow
branding of their machines with the Unilever "all" logo.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company completed several
financing transactions. Net proceeds of $9,930,879 were realized from private
placement offerings of Common Stock including the exercise of Common Stock
Purchase Warrants and Options. Proceeds of $1,833,841 were realized from private
placement offerings of 12% Convertible Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2003, the
Company had a working capital deficit of $791,532.
21
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, net cash of $9,228,899 was used by
operating activities, primarily due to the net loss of $21,965,499 offset by the
following non-cash charges: $2,573,301 for Common Stock, Common Stock Warrants
and Senior Notes issued for services; $2,743,083 of non cash depreciation and
amortization; $2,955,158 of non-cash amortization of the debt discount relating
to the 12% Convertible Senior Notes; $1,945,951 for a realized loss on the
investment in the Jubilee Trust; $1,521,654 loss realized on the modifications
of the Senior Notes; and $860,250 of interest expense on the Senior Notes paid
through the issuance of Common Stock.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, net cash used in investing
activities was $186,895 principally due to the investment in computer equipment
and furniture and equipment of $149,000 (a reduction of over $2 million from
2002 for investments in property, equipment and software development costs). The
net cash provided by financing activities of $11,242,279 was attributable
primarily to net proceeds generated from the issuance of Common Stock through
private placements, exercise of Common Stock Purchase Warrants, and net proceeds
generated through the issuance of the 12% Convertible Senior Notes offset by the
payment of long-term debt and capital leases of $557,441.
In connection with the May 2002 Stitch acquisition (Note 4 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements), the Company assumed long term debt of $3,976,000, which
included a vending equipment borrowing facility and working capital loans. The
Company repaid $2,165,000 of the working capital loans in June 2002 leaving an
outstanding balance of $275,000. These loans are secured by certain assets of
Stitch. At June 30, 2003 $166,765 of working capital loans are outstanding which
bear interest at 6.75% per annum. Such loans were payable on July 8, 2002.
During fiscal year 2003 the bank extended the due date on these loans on several
occasions under forbearance agreements. At June 30, 2003, the Company is in
default under this working capital loan agreement. If we cannot negotiate a
satisfactory payment arrangement with the bank, we intend to pay off this debt
in full from working capital.
At June 30, 2003 the Company also has a bank facility (the Facility), which was
utilized to fund the purchase of vending machines placed at locations where
Kodak film products are sold. Borrowings were made from time to time under the
facility, with repayment schedules set at the time of each borrowing, including
equal monthly payments over 36 months and an interest rate based upon 495 basis
points over the three year U.S. Treasury Notes. The Company has granted the bank
a security interest in these vending machines. Repayment of principal is also
insured by a Surety Bond issued by a third-party insurer in exchange for an
initial fee paid by the Company.
A summary of outstanding debt obligations of the Company at June 30, 2003 is as
follows:
Bank facility $ 828,466
Working capital loans 166,765
Other, including capital lease obligations 60,057
------------
1,055,288
Less current portion 830,674

$ 224,614
============
22
The Company has incurred losses of $22.0 million (approximately $12.6 million
non-cash) and $17.3 million (approximately $11.0 million non-cash) during each
of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and cumulative
losses from inception through June 30, 2003 amounting to $75.2 million. At June
30, 2003 the Company's working capital deficit was $791,532. The Company will
require additional capital to fund operations and meet its obligations for the
year ending June 30, 2004.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, the Company anticipates its cash
needs to be approximately $9 million. This estimate is based on the actual cash
requirements during fiscal year 2003 of approximately $750,000 per month. This
estimate does not consider the positive impact we believe the July 2003 Bayview
acquisition will have on the Company's operations, or any incremental revenues
from the Company's other products. Bayview is expected to generate $6 million of
revenues and operating cash flows of approximately $2.5 million during fiscal
year 2004. This revenue and cash flow projection is based on the Company
achieving the same levels of revenues in fiscal year 2004 as were achieved by
Bayview in the calendar year ended December 31, 2002, prior to the Company's
ownership of Bayview. As the Bayview acquisition only occurred in July 2003, we
do not have historical experience with this operation as integrated into the
Company's operations and, therefore, the achievement of the positive cash flow
impact is not certain at this early stage of integration and operation.
As set forth in the prior paragraph, the Company anticipates its capital
requirement to be $6.5 million in fiscal year 2004 assuming that Bayview's
forecasted results are achieved. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the Company
collected cash of approximately $6.5 million, which we believe, is sufficient to
meet the Company's cash requirements for the 2004 fiscal year. In this regard,
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company received proceeds of
$5 million in a private placement of its common stock, collected $1.1 million
from subscriptions receivable recorded from a prior year private placement
offering and sold 700,000 shares of its investment in the Jubilee Trust,
generating proceeds of $395,000.
The Company does not expect to rely on the proceeds from the exercise of
warrants to meet its capital requirements. To the extent that these sources of
capital are not sufficient to meet our obligations in fiscal year 2004, we
anticipate that the sale of our remaining Jubilee shares during fiscal year 2004
would provide approximately $700,000 of additional cash. In the event that we
could not meet our projected cash requirements for the fiscal year, we would
reduce our operating expenses accordingly, primarily through reductions in
discretionary expenditures such as travel, marketing, advertising and research
and development.
The Company has undertaken means to minimize cash requirements and will continue
to employ similar means during fiscal year 2004, if needed. These include (i)
issuing shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash for third-party services provided
to the Company, compensation to employees and interest on the 12% Convertible
Senior Notes, (ii) extending maturity dates on the 12% Convertible Senior Notes,
(iii) reducing the conversion terms to $.20 per share on the 12% Convertible
Senior Notes and (iv) negotiating with vendors and suppliers to extend payment
terms of trade obligations.
23
As described in Note 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the purchase
of Bayview was accomplished primarily by the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of
Company Common Stock coupled with a cash component of $631,000 of the purchase
price. The acquisition of Bayview provides a complimentary addition to the
Company's product offerings to the vending industry and is expected to increase
revenues. The Bayview acquisition coupled with the Company's other product
offerings and the realization by customers of the benefits that are available
from using the Company's technology and services are expected to yield higher
revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004 than experienced in 2003.
However, deficits in operating cash flows are still anticipated for fiscal year
2004 but at reduced levels compared to 2003.
The Company has debt scheduled to mature during the year ending June 30, 2004 of
approximately $1,170,000 comprised of $800,000 of long-term debt and $370,000 of
12% Convertible Senior Notes. There is an outstanding offer through October 31,
2003 to the holders of these Senior Notes maturing on December 31, 2003 to
extend their maturity date to December 2006 in exchange for a reduction in the
conversion rate to $0.20 per share.
The holders of $4,067,491 of our Senior Notes due December 31, 2007, may have a
right to rescind the exchange of these notes for notes originally due December
31, 2004, and demand that we return to them the $4,067,491 of Senior Notes due
December 31, 2004. During the period from March 2003 through September 2003, we
granted to each holder of the Senior Notes due December 31, 2004 the right to
extend the notes until December 31, 2007 and in such event agreed that the
conversion rate of the note would be reduced from $.40 to $.20. On April 14,
2003 we filed a registration statement which included all of the shares
underlying the 2007 notes. Because the exchange offering was not completed prior
to the filing of this Registration Statement, the exchange offer may be deemed
to have been in violation of the registration requirements of Section 5 of the
Act. As a result, we removed all of the shares underlying the 2007 Notes from
this registration statement. Generally, the statute of limitations for this type
of claim is one year after the date of the alleged violations and if successful,
would entitle the note holders to rescind the issuance of the new notes to them
and demand a return of the 2004 notes. If all of the note holders demanded the
return of their notes, we would be obligated to repay the $4,067,491 principal
amount on December 31, 2004 rather than on December 31, 2007. This repayment
could significantly exceed our cash reserves and require us to borrow funds and
would materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition. Because of the reduced conversion rate of $.20 per share granted in
connection with the extension of the maturity date of these notes, we do not
anticipate that a significant number of the noteholders, if any, would demand
the return of their old note.
Commitments
During March 2003, the Company entered into a lease through December 31, 2008
for 12,864 square feet of space in Malvern, Pennsylvania for its principal
executive office. The operating lease provides for escalating rent payments and
a period of free rent prior to the commencement of the monthly lease payment in
January 2004 of approximately $25,000 per month. With the acquisition of Stitch
Networks in May 2002, the Company acquired 12,225 square feet of rented space in
Kennett Square, PA. The rent is $11,153 per month and the lease expires on March
2005. The Company consolidated facilities in Malvern, and vacated the rented
space in Kennett Square. For that reason, the Company has accrued for the
remaining payments of the lease of approximately $354,000 as part of the Stitch
purchase price as of June 30, 2002 (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). Stitch is in default under the lease since August 2002. The Company
also signed a lease expiring in January 2004 at $4,000 per month (increased to
$6,000 per month in December 2002) for additional space in Malvern, Pennsylvania
for business activities.
24
As a result of the acquisition of Bayview, the Company assumed two additional
operating leases for office space located in Denver Colorado, which expire in
June 2005. The Denver office space leases 6,742 square feet of space for
approximately $6,000 per month. The lease agreements generally require the
Company to pay certain operating expenses, maintenance and property taxes.
Other Events
During October 2002, the Company issued to an investor, Alpha Capital
Aktiengesellschaft, 1,500,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock at $.10 per
share generating net proceeds of $123,000. The investor also received a warrant
to purchase up to 750,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at an
exercise price of $0.15 per share exercisable at anytime for five years. On the
seventh business day after the date of this prospectus, the investor had agreed
to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of restricted Common Stock at $.10
per share and receive another warrant to purchase up to 750,000 shares of
restricted Common Stock at the then closing price exercisable for 5 years. We
have agreed to register for resale these shares and the shares underlying the
warrants until November 2005. The Company paid a finder`s fee of $15,000 to
Libra Finance, S.A. in connection with the investment. As provided in the
agreement between the Company and Alpha, because this registration statement was
not declared effective within 120 days of issuance of our shares to Alpha, Alpha
no longer has the right to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares or receive
additional warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares. In addition, and as
provided in the agreement, the Company issued to Alpha 500,000 shares on account
of the delay and reduced the exercise price of the warrants already issued to
Alpha to $.0665 per share. This prospectus covers the 1,500,000 shares purchased
by Alpha in November 2002 as well as the 750,000 shares underlying the warrants
issued to Alpha in November 2002. None of these warrants have been exercised as
of the date of this prospectus.
During October 2002, the Company issued to an investor, Kazi Management VI,
Inc., 3,571,429 shares of its Common Stock at $.07 per share generating net
proceeds of $244,925. This investor also received a warrant to purchase up to
7,142,858 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $.07 per share at any time on
or before October 26, 2007, and a warrant to purchase up to 7,142,858 shares of
Common Stock at $.07 per share and up to 5,000,000 shares at $.10 per share over
a one year period following the date of this prospectus. None of these warrants
have been exercised as of the date of this prospectus. We have agreed to
register for resale these shares as well as the shares underlying the warrants
for a period of five years and all of these shares are included in this
prospectus.
During October 2002, the Company issued 1,480,000 shares of its Common Stock to
certain of its employees and consultants at $.16 per share. Such shares were
issued for services to be performed in subsequent periods. All of these shares
are covered by this prospectus.
During October 2002, the Company granted to all of the holders of the 12%
Convertible Senior Notes, 10,306,026 Common Stock warrants to purchase Common
Stock at $.10 per share. The total number of the warrants issued was that number
of shares equal to 75% of the dollar amount of the Senior notes held by the note
holders. The warrants are exercisable through November 30, 2002 (subsequently
extended through September 30, 2003). Upon the exercise of this warrant by the
Senior Note holder, the Company granted an identical number of warrants to that
Note holder with an exercise price of $0.10 per share exercisable through
September 30, 2003. We have agreed to use our best efforts to register these
shares for resale under the Act as our cost and expense until April 2004.
Through June 2003, the investors exercised a total of 7,127,508 Common Stock
warrants of the 10,306,026 warrants initially granted, generating gross proceeds
to the Company of $712,751. An additional 7,127,508 warrants were granted upon
the exercise of the initial warrant to these note holders. Of these additional
warrants, 6,898,296 were exercised as of June 30, 2003, generating gross
proceeds to the Company of $689,830. Subsequent to June 30, 2003 and through
September 30, 2003, an additional 1,451,003 warrants were exercised. All
unexercised warrants have expired on September 30, 2003, and this prospectus
covers the resale of the shares issued upon exercise of these warrants.

BUSINESS
USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was founded
in January 1992. Currently, the Company's core business is its cashless payment
and control network. The equipment component of the network consists of the
Company's client devices, e-Port and TransAct, and any associated equipment such
as copiers, computers or vending machines. When sold to hotels, the TransAct
plus office equipment is called the Business Express(R). The e-Port or TransAct
client device allows a consumer to use a credit card to make a purchase from
host equipment such as copiers, computers or vending machines and gathers
information about sales and operations of the host equipment. The e-Port client
products currently are targeted to the vending industry. USA Technologies has
historically generated some revenues from the direct sale of this equipment. A
second source of revenues is generated from product sales from our Kodak vending
machines. In addition, transaction processing revenue is recognized upon the
usage of the Company's cashless payment and control network. Service fees for
access to the Company's equipment and network services are recognized on a
monthly basis.
The Company's network brings additional benefits to the auditing and financial
services the Company provides its customers. The auditing feature of our e-Port
and TransAct client products, captures supply chain data (i.e. units sold,
product sold, price of units sold) and other machine diagnostic information, and
transmits this information back to either a customer's network or to the USA
network for reporting. The Company provides financial services consisting of
turnkey processing of unattended cashless transactions; 24x7x365 helpdesk
support for customer refunds and troubleshooting and the reporting of sales and
inventory data. This service generates monthly network fees, plus transaction
processing fees from the retention of a portion of the monies generated from all
credit card transactions conducted through its cashless payment and control
network.
Our cashless payment and control network operates as follows:
- - The consumer swipes a credit card through the e-Port or TransAct.
- - The e-Port or TransAct transmits the request to the credit card
processor.
- - The e-Port or TransAct activates the equipment for use by the consumer.
- - Once the consumer finishes using the e-Port or TransAct, the control
system transmits a record of the transaction to the credit card
processor.
- - The credit card processor electronically transfers the proceeds derived
from the transaction, less the credit card processor's charge (i.e.
transaction fees), to us.
- - Finally, we forward money (check or electronic) to each customer
representing its share of the proceeds.
26
CASHLESS PAYMENT PROCESSING
Each of the Company's cashless control systems records and transmits all
transaction data to the Company, which then forwards it to the credit card
processor and related system involving the banks and the credit card companies
such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Based on the transaction data,
the payment for services rendered or product purchased is then electronically
transferred to the Company's bank (less various financial charges). The Company
then forwards to the location it's agreed upon share of the funds, through check
or EFT. In hospitality, if the Company has sold the business center equipment to
the location, the portion retained by the Company is generally 5% 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 the Kodak program, charges
for product have been negotiated to give Stitch a reasonable margin. In addition
the Company charges a fixed monthly management fee which is generally $20-$25
per control system for existing hospitality locations.

27
THE E-PORT FOR VENDING
In general, our vending service enables:
- - cashless transactions including credit cards, smart cards, student Ids,
PDAs and cell phones;
- - real-time access to monitor inventory, sales, audit (cash and credit)
and machine maintenance via the Internet from any PC;
- - the potential of an added revenue stream with a LCD color touch
screen for displaying interactive advertising and content on our
multi-media e-Port client product.
The e-Port allows a consumer to use a credit card or other forms of cashless
payment to make a purchase, and also gathers information about sales and
operations of the host equipment. Additional capabilities can include Internet
connectivity and wireless communications. With some additional effort, our
multi-media e-Port client product could offer the capability for public access
electronic commerce and advertising. The multi-media e-Port client device has
had limited market acceptance to date.
For the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company has expensed
approximately $1,505,000 and $1,187,000, 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 and is reflected in compensation and general and administrative
expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Through March 31,
2003 the Company capitalized approximately $5.3 million for the services of IBM,
to program the enhancements to the Company's proprietary "USAlive" server
network and for the development of the e-Port client product containing
multi-media capabilities. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the
multi-media e-Port product and the enhanced network became available for general
release and thus began marketing it to the Company's customers. Management
performed an evaluation of the commercial success and preliminary market
acceptance of the multi-media e-Port client product and the enhanced network and
as a result of this evaluation, due mainly to the limited market acceptance of
the multi-media e-Port(TR) client product, the Company determined that the
estimated future revenues less costs to complete and dispose of the multi-media
e-Port (TM) client product was zero. Accordingly, the Company recorded an
impairment charge of approximately $2.7 million of software development costs
related to the multi-media e-Port client product reflecting the software
development costs at its net realizable value. The Company continues to market
the multi-media e-Port client product, and to date, revenues generated from its
sale have been insignificant. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
With the acquisition of Stitch Networks, the Company has acquired vending
business with Eastman Kodak. This consists of locating specially designed Kodak
vending machines in high profile venues across the United States such as
amusement parks, zoos, and sports stadiums. The vending machines dispense
disposable cameras and associated film. This agreement will terminate December
31, 2003, and after this date we will continue to receive on going revenues from
the approximately 286 placements in service. As discussed in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the
Kodak agreement may be terminated prior to December 31, 2003.
THE BUSINESS EXPRESS (R) FOR HOTELS
The hotel/motel hospitality industry has become more competitive as chains
increase efforts to attract the most profitable customer: the business traveler
or conference attendee, who accounts for the majority of hotel occupancy, stays
longer and spends more per visit than the leisure traveler. For these reasons,
hotels have become responsive to the needs of the business traveler. The
Business Express enables a hotel to address some of these needs, while offering
the possibility of generating incremental revenue.
The Business Express utilizes the Company's existing applications for computers,
copiers, and facsimile equipment, and combines them into a branded product in a
functional kiosk type workstation. All devices are cashless, therefore
eliminating the need for an attendant normally required to provide such
services.
Our hotel service enables:
- - cashless transactions using credit cards and room cards for payment;
- - access to unattended 24/7 business center services for hotel guests;
- - access to vending machines for hotel guests with the use of their room
card.
E-SUDS (TM) FOR LAUNDRY
28
With the acquisition of Stitch Networks, the Company acquired additional product
line enhancements. One such enhancement is our university laundry services,
which enable:
- - students to go on-line and check the availability of laundry machines
and receive email or a page when their laundry cycles are complete;
- - students to charge the cost of their laundry to their credit card or
student account;
- - laundry operators to access inventory, sales, audit and maintenance via
the Internet from any PC;
- - laundry operators to benefit from additional revenue through the sale
of detergent automatically added to the wash cycle.
There are minimal revenues in the year ended June 30, 2003 for this product due
to it currently being under development.
Through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Bayview Technology
Group, LLC (Bayview) in July 2003, the Company now designs and manufactures
patented energy conservation devices for equipment such as laser printers,
monitors, office peripherals, refrigerated vending machines and glass front
merchandisers (referred to as slide or visi coolers). These energy conservation
products reduce power consumption of various types of equipment by allowing the
equipment to operate in power saving mode when full power mode is not necessary.
These devices, which include the VendingMiser, CoolerMiser, SnackMiser,
MonitorMiser and LaserMiser can use activity, occupancy, temperature, timing or
other various methods of determining which mode it should be in. Route to market
for the energy conservation products is much the same as for the Company's
e-Port technology, with the notable addition of governmental and utility rebate
and give-away programs where part or all of the cost of the energy management
products is covered by government funds available for energy conservation
projects.
ENERGY CONSERVATION PRODUCTS
With the acquisition of Bayview in July 2003, the Company has acquired the
following additional products:
- - VendingMiser(TM)installs in a cold drink vending machine and reduces
the power consumption of the vending machine by an average of 46%;
- - CoolerMiser reduces the energy used by sliding glass or pull open
glass-front coolers that contain non-perishable goods;
- - SnackMiser reduces the amount of electricity used by non-refrigerated
snack vending machines;
- - MonitorMiser Plus is a computer monitor power controller. It works with
all operating systems and performs by powering down the monitor based
upon keyboard or mouse activity;
- - LaserMiser provides energy conservation to laser printers, shutting
them down when they are idle. It is a plug-and-play device that is
software transparent and capable of handling any laser printer with a
parallel or serial connection;
- - Internal VendingMiser (IVM) is the second generation of the
VendingMiser in development. It installs into cold drink vending
machines and has the capability to control the cooling system and the
advertising lights separately.
MARKETING
As of June 30, 2003, the Company was marketing and selling its products through
its full time staff consisting of five people. The Company is primarily focused
on the vending, hospitality, kiosk and laundry industries.
29
Within the vending industry, our e-Port (TM) client product is being purchased
by soft drink bottlers and independent vending operators throughout the United
States. On the soft drink bottler side, heavy effort is being put into securing
initial distribution agreements with the top ten Coke and Pepsi bottlers, and
Dr. Pepper. Three of the premier national independent vending operators,
Compass, ARAMARK and Sodexho, have already installed e-Port (TM) in various
locations. One major vending operator, International Vending Management, has
signed a contract with the Company although nominal revenues have resulted to
date from this contract.
In March 2002, the Company signed an agreement with MEI (Mars Electronics), who
agreed to sell and distribute an MEI branded cashless payment system to be
developed by the Company, as part of its portfolio of vending solutions. By
contract, MEI has committed to buy a minimum of 10,000 unit of the USA product
over the course of 24 month agreement or pay the Company $4.00 per unit for any
shortfall. Commercial availability is planned for winter 2003 and through the
date hereof no revenues have been generated from this arrangement.
The Company continues to work with the top vending machine manufacturers (OEM)
in order to incorporate our e-Port (TM) technology into newly manufactured
vending machines coming off the factory assembly line. In addition, the Company
continues to sell to and increase the number of authorized resellers for its
products. In the hospitality industry, Business Express continues to be one of
the premier solutions for automated business centers. The addition of e-Port
(TM) technology for vending machines located in hotels now offers a "one-stop
shopping" experience to hotels that have or are considering purchasing a USA
business center.
Within the laundry industry, American Sales Inc. (ASI) has signed a five-year
agreement to purchase units of Stitch's e-Suds laundry solution for their
university locations in the Midwest. Through the date hereof, the Company is
finalizing product commercialization; therefore, ASI has not yet purchased units
under this contract. The Company anticipates unit sales to begin being realized
during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004.
In October 2002, the Company signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with ZiLOG
Corporation, a semiconductor company that is a supplier of microprocessors to
the retail point of sale industry. The agreement allows the Company's
proprietary network software (USALive) to be embedded on a chip produced by
ZiLOG. The Company would license its software to the purchaser and would receive
a license fee. A second revenue stream could be generated when those who buy the
retail point of sales terminals begin to use them, because they could elect to
use the USA network which is embedded on the chip procurement. As of the date
hereof, no products have been available for commercial use and accordingly, no
revenues have been generated.
The Company utilizes independent third party companies for the manufacturing of
its e-Port(TM) product line. The Company purchases other components of its
business center (computers, printers, fax and copy machines) through various
manufacturers. Orders are regularly placed for expected orders weeks in advance.
COMPETITION
We are aware of three competitors who offer unattended business centers in the
hospitality industry in competition with the Business Express. We believe that
our products (currently located in over 400 locations) are in approximately
30
seventy-five percent of the locations currently utilizing unattended business
centers. We are aware of one competitor in regards to our e-Port control systems
for use in the beverage vending industry. There are at the present time very few
installations of this product.
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, might be capable of
developing products or utilizing their existing products in direct competition
with our e-port control systems targeted to the beverage vending industry. 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. 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 that make available use of the Internet and use of personal computers
to hotel guests in their hotel rooms. Such services might compete with the
Company's Business Express, and the locations may not order the Business
Express, or if ordered, the hotel guest may not use it.

Employees
On June 30, 2003, the Company had 32 full-time employees. In addition, as a

Properties
During March 2003, the Company entered into a lease through December 31, 2008
for 12,864 square feet of space in Malvern, PA for its principal executive

2004 of approximately $25,000 per month. With the acquisition of Stitch Networks
in May 2002, the Company acquired 12,225 square feet of rented space in Kennett
34
Square, PA. The rent is $11,153 per month and the lease expires on March 2005.
The Company consolidated facilities in Malvern, and vacated the rented space in
Kennett Square. For that reason, the Company has accrued for the remaining
payments of the lease of approximately $354,000 as part of the Stitch purchase
price as of June 30, 2002 (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Stitch is in default under the lease since August 2002. During the fiscal year,
the Company also signed a lease expiring in January 2004 at $4,000 per month
(increased to $6,000 per month in December 2002) for additional space in
Malvern, PA for business activities.
As a result of the July 2003 acquisition of Bayview, the Company assumed two
additional operating leases for office space located in Denver, Colorado, which
expire in June 2005. The Denver office space leases 6,742 square feet of space
for approximately $6,000 per month. The lease agreements generally require the
Company to pay certain operating expenses, maintenance and property taxes.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
39
The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Jensen which
expires June 30, 2005, and is automatically renewed from year to year thereafter
unless canceled by Mr. Jensen or the Company. The agreement provides for an
annual base salary of $180,000. Mr. Jensen is entitled to receive such bonus or
bonuses as may be awarded to him by the Board of Directors. In determining
whether to pay such a bonus, the Board would use its subjective discretion. The
Agreement requires Mr. Jensen to devote his full time and attention to the
business and affairs of the Company, and obligates him not to engage in any
investments or activities which would compete with the Company during the term
of the Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter.
The agreement also grants to Mr. Jensen in the event a "USA Transaction" (as
defined below) occurs after the date thereof an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares
of Common Stock subject to adjustment for stock splits or combinations("Jensen
Shares"). Mr. Jensen is not required to pay any additional consideration for the
Jensen Shares. At the time of any USA Transaction, all of the Jensen Shares are
automatically deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any USA
Transaction, and are entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock in connection with such USA Transaction.
The term USA Transaction is defined as (i) the acquisition of fifty-one percent
or more of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in
the election of Directors of the Company by any person, entity or group, or (ii)
the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of the Company, or the sale,
transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company. The Jensen Shares are irrevocable and fully vested, have no
expiration date, and will not be affected by the termination of Mr. Jensen`s
employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever. If a USA Transaction
shall occur at a time when there are not a sufficient number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall as a condition of such
USA Transaction promptly take any and all appropriate action to make available a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock. In the alternative, the Company may
structure the USA Transaction so that Mr. Jensen would receive the same amount
and type of consideration in connection with the USA Transaction as any other
holder of Common Stock.
The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Herbert, which
expires on June 30, 2005, and is automatically renewed from year to year
thereafter unless canceled by Mr. Herbert or the Company. The Agreement provides
for an annual base salary of $165,000 per year. Mr. Herbert is entitled to
receive such bonus or bonuses as the Board of Directors may award to him. The
Agreement requires Mr. Herbert to devote his full time and attention to the
business and affairs of the Company and obligates him not to engage in any
investments or activities which would compete with the Company during the term
of the agreement and for a period of one year thereafter. In the event that a
USA Transaction (as defined in Mr. Jensen's employment agreement) shall occur,
then Mr. Herbert has the right to terminate his agreement upon 30 days notice to
USA.
Mr. Kolls has entered into an employment agreement with the Company, which
expires on June 30, 2004, and is automatically renewed from year to year
thereafter unless canceled by Mr. Kolls or the Company. The agreement provides
for an annual base salary of $150,000 per year. Mr. Kolls is also entitled to
receive such bonus or bonuses as may be awarded to him by the Board of
Directors. The Agreement requires Mr. Kolls to devote his full time and
40
attention to the business and affairs of the Company, and obligates him not to
engage in any investments or activities which would compete with the Company
during the term of his agreement and for a period of one year thereafter.
Ms. Hepburn has entered into an employment agreement with the Company, which
expires on June 30, 2005, and is automatically renewed from year to year
thereafter unless canceled by Ms. Hepburn or the Company. The agreement provides
for an annual base salary of $91,000 per year. Ms. Hepburn is also entitled to
receive such bonus or bonuses as the Board of Directors may award to her. The
Agreement requires Ms. Hepburn to devote her full time and attention to the
business and affairs of the Company, and obligates her not to engage in any
investments or activities which would compete with the Company during the term
of the agreement and for a period of one year thereafter.
The employment agreements of Messrs. Maxwell and Lawlor expired on June 30,
2003.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Members of the Board of Directors receive cash and equity compensation for
serving on the Board of Directors.
In April 2002, the Company granted to each of the five outside Directors
(Messrs. Sellers, Van Alen, Katz, Lurio, and Boynton) options to purchase up to
100,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.40 per share as compensation for serving
the one-year term, which commenced March 21, 2002. The options are fully vested
and are exercisable at any time prior to April 12, 2005. Commencing on July 1,
2002 and at any and all times through June 30, 2003, each Director has been
granted the right, without the payment of the per share exercise price of such
options, to receive up to 50,000 shares represented by those options. In
September 2002, Edwin P. Boynton elected to receive 50,000 shares in lieu of the
above options.
In February 2001, the Company granted a total of 300,000 options to purchase
Common Stock at $1.00 per share to each of the then outside members of the Board
(Messrs. Sellers, Van Alen, Smith, Katz, Lurio, and Boynton). Of these, 120,000
options vested immediately; 90,000 options vested on June 30, 2001; and 90,000
vested on June 30, 2002. The options are exercisable at any time within five
years following the vesting.
On December 31, 2002, each of Messrs. Sellers, Van Alen, Katz, Lurio, and
Boynton voluntarily canceled all of the outstanding options then held by them.
During June 2003, we paid $50,000 to each of Messrs. Sellers, Van Alen, and Katz
for their services as Directors during the 2003 fiscal year. As a condition of
the cash payment, each of these Directors agreed to purchase from the Company
500,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.10 per share.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
On December 31, 2000, Stitch Networks Corporation ("Stitch") executed a Vending
Placement, Supply and Distribution Agreement with Eastman Kodak Company, Maytag
Corporation and Dixie Narco, Inc., which formed a strategic alliance to market
and execute a national vending program for the sale of one-time use camera and
film products. The Agreement provides for an initial term of three years ending
December 31, 2003, with additional provisions for early termination and
extensions as defined. Furthermore, the Agreement also provides for exclusivity
among the parties for the term of the Agreement relating to the sale of camera
and film products from vending machines within the Continental United States.
Pursuant to this agreement, Stitch, the Company`s subsidiary, purchases vending
machines from Dixie-Narco, Inc. ("Dixie"). Dixie is owned by Maytag Corporation
which is the owner of the Company`s shareholder, Maytag Holdings, Inc. Mr.
Boyle, a former Director of the Company, is a Vice President of Maytag
Corporation. There were purchases from Dixie of $201,000 and $8,000 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 and for the period May 14, 2002 through June 30,
2002, respectively. Amounts payable to Dixie of approximately $130,000 and
$124,000 are included in accounts payable in the June 30, 2003 and 2002
consolidated balance sheets of the Company.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, the Company
incurred charges to Lurio & Associates, P.C., of which Mr. Lurio is President
and a shareholder, for professional fees of approximately $305,000 and $213,000
respectively, for legal services rendered to the Company by such law firm.
During the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company accrued approximately
$22,000 and $30,000, respectively, for these services. Mr. Lurio is a Director
of the Company.
In October 2002, the Company approved the issuance to each of George R.
Jensen, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer, and Stephen P. Herbert, our President
and Chief Operating Officer, of $100,000 of the Senior Note offering. Pursuant
thereto, each of them received a $100,000 12% Senior Note due December 31, 2005,
and the related 200,000 shares of Common Stock. Both Mr. Jensen and Mr. Herbert
earned the Note and related shares in fiscal 2003 for services rendered. In
October 2002, the Company approved the issuance of $100,000 of the Senior Note
offering and 200,000 related shares of Common Stock to Adele Hepburn for
services rendered during the 2002 calendar year. Ms. Hepburn earned the Note and
related shares in fiscal 2003 for services rendered.
In April and May 2003, the Company authorized the payment of $420,000 over
the following six months to its five executive officers. The payments are to
assist in the 2002 tax liability incurred by the executives due to common stock
bonuses received by them during calendar year 2002.
During June 2003, the Company approved the following cash payments as a
bonus for services rendered to the Company by the named executive during the
2003 fiscal year: Mr. Jensen-$150,000; Mr. Herbert-$125,000; Ms.
Hepburn-$100,000; and Mr. Kolls- $25,000. The payment of the bonus was
conditioned upon the executive investing the entire cash bonus in common stock
of the Company at $.10 per share.
On July 10, 2003, USA and George R. Jensen, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of USA, agreed upon an amendment to Mr. Jensen's employment agreement.
Pursuant thereto, the number of shares of Common Stock of USA issuable to Mr.
Jensen by USA upon the occurrence of a "USA Transaction" (as such term is
defined in his employment agreement) was fixed at 14,000,000 shares rather than
45
seven percent of the then issued and outstanding shares as previously provided.
USA also agreed to issue to Mr. Jensen an aggregate of 10,500,000 shares of
restricted Common Stock, 2,500,000 shares of which will be issued as
compensation to Mr. Jensen for future services, and 8,000,000 shares of which
will be issued to Mr. Jensen in connection with the employment agreement
amendment. Mr. Jensen has agreed to enter into a lock up agreement pursuant to
which he shall not sell 2,500,000 of the shares for a one-year period and
8,000,000 of the shares for a two-year period.
The Company does not have any policy with respect to entering into future
related party transactions.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
Each of the selling shareholders listed below is, as of the date hereof, the
holder of our common stock or has the right to acquire the number of shares of
common stock set forth opposite such selling shareholder`s name. The issuance of
the common stock to the selling shareholders as well as the issuance of the
common stock to the selling shareholders upon exercise of the warrants or
options or upon conversion of the convertible senior notes was or will be a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and various
state securities laws.
We have agreed, at our expense, to register all of the common stock for resale
by the selling shareholders under the Act. We expect to incur expenses of
approximately $85,000 in connection with the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part.
The number of shares that may be actually sold by the selling shareholder will
be determined by the selling shareholder. The selling shareholders are under no
obligation to sell all or any portion of the shares offered, nor are the selling
shareholders obligated to sell such shares immediately under this Prospectus.
Particular selling shareholders may not have a preset intention of selling their
shares and may offer less than the number of shares indicated. Because the
selling shareholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock
that the selling shareholder holds, no estimate can be given as to the number of
shares of our common stock that will be held by the selling shareholder upon
termination of the offering. Shares of common stock may be sold from time to
time by the selling shareholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest.
The following tables set forth information with respect to each selling
shareholder and the respective amounts of common stock that may be offered
pursuant to this prospectus. None of the selling shareholders has, or within the
past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship
with us, except as noted below. Except as specifically set forth below,
following the offering, and assuming all of the common stock offered hereby has
been sold, none of the selling shareholders will beneficially own one percent
(1%) or more of the common stock.

La Jolla Debenture and Warrants
During August 2001, the Company issued to La Jolla a $225,000 Convertible
Debenture (increased by $100,000 on June 18, 2002) bearing 9 3/4 percent
interest with a maturity date of August 2, 2003 (extended to August 2, 2004).
Interest is payable by the Company monthly in arrears. The Debenture is
convertible at the lower of $1.00 per share or 80% (later reduced to 72%) of the
lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the 20 days (changed to 270
calendar days) preceding exercise. If on the date of conversion the closing bid
price of the shares is $.40 or below, the Company shall have the right to prepay
the portion being converted at 150% of the principal amount being converted. In
such event, La Jolla shall have the right to withdraw its conversion notice. At
the time of conversion of the Debenture, the Company has agreed to issue to La
Jolla warrants to purchase an amount of Common Stock equal to ten times the
number of shares actually issued upon conversion of the Debenture. The warrants
are exercisable at any time for two years following issuance and at the related
conversion price of the Debenture. The Company has agreed to prepare and file at
its expense a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Debenture as well as the related warrants issuable upon
conversion of the Debenture. From inception through June 30, 2003, La Jolla
converted the entire debenture for which the Company issued 2,800,903 shares of
Common Stock, and exercised 10,543,673 warrants to purchase Common Stock.
In March 2003, we issued to La Jolla a warrant to purchase up to 9,000,000 of
our shares at $.10 per share. We had agreed to register all of the shares
underlying these warrants for resale by La Jolla for a one year period. In
October 2003, the parties agreed to rescind and cancel this warrant.
As of the date of this prospectus, La Jolla is the holder of warrants to
purchase up to 17,465,370 shares at $.10 per share. These warrants were issued
at the time of conversion of the debenture. La Jolla is also the holder of
2,252,683 shares issued upon conversion of warrants at $.07 per share. This
prospectus does not cover the resale of any of these shares by La Jolla.
Common Stock
The holder of each share of common stock:
o is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the
shareholders of USA, including the election of directors. There is no
cumulative voting for directors;
o does not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase shares,
obligations, warrants, or other securities of USA; and
o is entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors may from
time to time declare out of funds legally available for payment of
dividends.
No dividend may be paid on the common stock until all accumulated and unpaid
dividends on the series A preferred stock have been paid. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of USA, holders of shares of common stock are entitled
to receive pro rata all of the assets of USA available for distribution, subject
to the liquidation preference of the series A preferred stock of $10.00 per
share and any unpaid and accumulated dividends on the series A preferred stock.
71
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The holders of shares of Series A preferred stock:
o have the number of votes per share equal to the number of shares of common
stock into which each such share is convertible (i.e., 1 share of series A
preferred stock equals 1 vote);
o are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the vote of the
shareholders of USA, including the election of directors; and
o are entitled to an annual cumulative cash dividend of $1.50 per annum,
payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors.
The record dates for payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are
February 1 and August 1 of each year. Any and all accumulated and unpaid cash
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock must be declared and paid prior to the
declaration and payment of any dividends on the Common Stock. Any unpaid and
accumulated dividends will not bear interest. As of June 30, 2003 the
accumulated and unpaid dividends were $5,913,107.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 1 share
of fully issued and non-assessable Common Stock. Accrued and unpaid dividends
earned on shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted into Common Stock
are also convertible into Common Stock at the rate $10.00 per share of Common
Stock at the time of conversion and whether or not such dividends have then been
declared by USA. As of June 30, 2003 a total of 586,658 shares of series A
Preferred Stock have been converted into common stock and accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon have been converted into 286,377 shares of Common Stock. The
conversion rate of the Series A Preferred Stock (and any accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon) will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock
combinations, recapitalizations, and in connection with certain other issuances
of common stock by USA. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of USA,
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a distribution
in preference to the Common Stock in the amount of $10.00 per share plus any
accumulated and unpaid dividends.
We have the right, at any time, to redeem all or any part of the issued and
outstanding series A preferred stock for the sum of $11.00 per share plus any
and all unpaid and accumulated dividends thereon. Upon notice by USA of such
call, the holders of the series A preferred stock so called will have the
opportunity to convert their shares and any unpaid and accumulated dividends
thereon into shares of common stock. The $11.00 per share figure was the
redemption price approved by the Directors and shareholders of USA at the time
the series A preferred stock was created and first issued. We currently have no
plans to redeem the preferred stock.
12% Senior Notes
As of September 30, 2003, we had outstanding $3,523,492 of Senior Notes due
December 31, 2007, $3,156,000 of Senior Notes due December 31, 2006, $3,426,150
of Senior Notes due December 31, 2005, $571,009 of Senior Notes due December 31,
2004, and $370,000 of Senior Notes due December 31, 2003. The principal amount
of each senior note which is not voluntarily converted shall be payable on the
maturity date thereof, at which time any unpaid and accrued interest shall also
become due. Interest shall accrue at the rate of 12% per annum from and after
the date of issuance and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on December 31,
March 31, June 30, and September 30 of each year until maturity. The senior
notes are senior to all existing equity securities of USA, including the series
A preferred stock.
72
Of the Senior Notes due December 31, 2003, a total of $3,823,000 were purchased
through the exchange of $3,823,000 of the old senior notes previously due
December 31, 2001. The holders of these notes are not selling shareholders in
this prospectus. The principal amount of these notes is convertible at any time
into shares of common stock at the rate of $1.25 per share. The interest paid on
these notes is also convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $1.00
per share. For the quarters ended September 31, 2001 and December 31, 2001, the
conversion rate relating to the interest payments was reduced to $.50 per share
and for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 to $.40 per share and for the quarters
ended June 30, 2002, September 30, 2002, December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003 and
June 30, 2003, to $.20 per share together with one warrant at $.20 per share for
each share issued with an exercise termination date of June 30, 2004. We have
agreed to use our best efforts to register these shares as well as the shares
underlying the warrants for resale under the Act. These shares are not included
in this prospectus. In March 2003, each holder of these senior notes was granted
the right to have the conversion rate reduced to $.20 in exchange for extending
the maturity date for three additional years or until December 31, 2006. The
noteholder was required to make the election on or prior to March 31, 2003
(later extended until October 31, 2003). A total of $4,664,000 of these notes
have been extended to December 31, 2006. In connection with any extensions other
than the reduction of the conversion rate, there were no other payments or
benefits exchanged between USA and the noteholders. None of the shares
underlying the 2006 Notes are covered by this prospectus.
The principal amount of each Senior Note due December 31, 2004 is convertible at
any time into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $.40 per share. The holders
of these notes are selling shareholders in this prospectus. In January 2002, the
Company agreed to provide the option to each holder of these senior notes to
elect to accept shares in lieu of receiving cash in satisfaction of the interest
payments otherwise due to them on account of the last three quarters of fiscal
2002. The conversion rate for this interest payment due for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 was $.40 per share. The Company continued this option at $.20 per
share for the quarters ended June 30, 2002, September 30, 2002, December 31,
2002, March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, together with one warrant at $.20 for
each share issued with an exercise termination date of June 30, 2004. We have
agreed to register these shares as well as the shares underlying the warrants
for resale under the Act. These shares are not included in this prospectus. In
March 2003, each holder of these senior notes was granted the right to have the
conversion rate reduced to $.20 in exchange for extending the maturity date for
three additional years or until December 31, 2007. The noteholder was required
to make the election on or prior to March 31, 2003 (later extended until
September 30, 2003). A total of $4,071,493 of these notes have been extended to
December 31, 2007 and are convertible at $.20 per share. In connection with any
extensions other than the reduction of the conversion rate, there were no other
payments or benefits exchanged between USA and the noteholders. None of the
shares underlying the 2007 Notes are covered by this prospectus.
The principal amount of each Senior Note due December 31, 2005 is convertible at
any time into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $.20 per share. The holders
of these notes are selling shareholders in this prospectus. The Company agreed
to provide the option to each holder of these senior notes to elect to accept
shares in lieu of receiving cash in satisfaction of the interest payments
otherwise due to them on account of the last quarter of fiscal 2002 at the rate
of $.20 per share. The Company continued this option at $.20 per share for the
quarters ended September 30, 2002, December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003 and June
30, 2003 together with one warrant at $.20 for each share issued with an
exercise termination date of June 30, 2004. We have agreed to register these
shares as well as the shares underlying the warrants for resale under the Act.
These shares are not included in this prospectus.
73
The indebtedness evidenced in the Senior Note is subordinated to the prior
payment when due of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all
"Senior Indebtedness", as defined herein, of USA as follows: Upon any
distribution of its assets in a liquidation or dissolution of USA, or in
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings
relating to USA, the Lender shall not be entitled to receive payment until the
holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full. Until a payment default occurs
with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, all payments of principal and interest
due to Lender under the senior note shall be made in accordance with this senior
note. Upon the occurrence of any payment default with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness then, upon written notice thereof to USA and Lender by any holder
of such Senior Indebtedness or its representative, no payments of principal or
interest on the senior note shall be made by USA until such payment default has
been cured to the satisfaction of the holder of such Senior Indebtedness or
waived by such holder, provided, however, that if during the 180 day period
following such default, the holder of Senior Indebtedness has not accelerated
its loan, commenced foreclosure proceedings or otherwise undertaken to act on
such default, then USA shall be required to continue making payments under the
senior note, including any which had not been paid during such 180 day period.
In the event that any institutional lender to USA at any time so requires, the
Lender shall execute, upon request of USA, any intercreditor or subordination
agreement(s) with any such institutional lender on terms not materially more
adverse to the Lender then the subordination terms contained in this senior
note.
The term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean (a) all direct or indirect, contingent
or certain indebtedness of any type, kind or nature (present or future) created,
incurred or assumed by USA with respect to any future bank or other financial
institutional indebtedness of USA or (b) any indebtedness created, incurred, or
assumed, by USA secured by a lien on any of our assets.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Senior Indebtedness does not
include:
o unsecured accounts payable to trade creditors of USA incurred in the
ordinary course of business;
o any debt owed by USA to any officer, director or stockholder of USA;
o any obligation of Borrower issued or contracted for as payment in
consideration of the purchase by USA of the capital stock or substantially
all of the assets of another person or in consideration for the merger or
consolidation with respect to which USA was a party; o any operating lease
obligations of USA;
o any other indebtedness which by its terms is subordinated to the senior
note; or
o any "other indebtedness" which is subordinated to all indebtedness to which
the senior note is subordinated in substantially like terms as the senior
note; which such "other indebtedness" shall be treated as equal with the
indebtedness evidenced by the senior note.

74
The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances, including a stock split of, stock dividend on, or a subdivision,
combination or recapitalization of the common stock. Upon the merger,
consolidation, sale of substantially all the assets of USA, or other similar
transaction, the warrant holders shall, at the option of USA, be required to
exercise the warrants immediately prior to the closing of the transaction, or
such warrants shall automatically expire. Upon such exercise, the warrant
holders shall participate on the same basis as the holders of common stock in
connection with the transaction.
The warrants do not confer upon the holder any voting or any other rights of a
shareholder of USA. Upon notice to the warrant holders, USA has the right, at
any time and from time to time, to reduce the exercise price or to extend the
warrant termination date.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Of the 218,741,042 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on June 30,
2003, a total of 135,130,801 are restricted securities of which 19,161,770 are
currently eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. Of these
restricted securities, we have agreed to use our best efforts to register all of
these shares for resale under the Act (of which 41,064,862 shares are covered by
this prospectus). As of the date hereof, there were 524,492 shares of preferred
stock issued and outstanding, all of which are freely transferable without
further registration under the Act (other than shares held by "affiliates" of
USA).
The shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, are
convertible into 524,492 shares of common stock all of which would be fully
transferable without further registration under the Act (other than shares held
by "affiliates" of USA).
Shares of our common stock which are not freely tradeable under the Act are
known as "restricted securities" and cannot be resold without registration under
the Act or pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated thereunder.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose
shares are required to be aggregated), including any affiliate of USA, who
beneficially owns "restricted securities" for a period of at least one year is
entitled to sell within any three-month period, shares equal in number to the
greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of the same class of shares, or
(ii) the average weekly trading volume of the same class of shares during the
four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the required notice of sale with the
SEC. The seller must also comply with the notice and manner of sale requirements
of Rule 144, and there must be current public information available about USA.
In addition, any person (or persons whose shares must be aggregated) who is not,
at the time of sale, nor during the preceding three months, an affiliate of the
USA, and who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least two years,
can sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the notice, manner of
sale, public information or the volume limitations described above.
Limitation of Liability; Indemnification
75
As permitted by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 ("BCL"), our
By-laws provide that Directors will not be personally liable, as such, for
monetary damages for any action taken unless the Director has breached or failed
to perform the duties of a Director under the BCL and the breach or failure to
perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. This
limitation of personal liability does not apply to any responsibility or
liability pursuant to any criminal statute, or any liability for the payment of
taxes pursuant to Federal, State or local law. The By-laws also include
provisions for indemnification of our Directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the BCL. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Act may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of
USA pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our stock and warrants is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders are free to offer and sell the common shares at such
times, in such manner and at such prices as the selling shareholders may
determine. The types of transactions in which the common shares are sold may
include transactions in the over-the-counter market (including block
transactions), negotiated transactions, the settlement of short sales of common
shares, or a combination of such methods of sale. The sales will be at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Such transactions
may or may not involve brokers or dealers.
The selling shareholders may effect such transactions by selling common stock
directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or
principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling shareholders. They may
also receive compensation from the purchasers of common shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions).
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by
such broker-dealers or agents and profit on the resale of the shares purchased
by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts under the Act.
The selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the common shares
in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities and
Exchange Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of
such Rule. We have agreed to bear all the expenses (other than selling
commissions) in connection with the registration and sale of the common stock
covered by this prospectus. In some circumstances, we have agreed to indemnify
the selling shareholders against certain losses and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Act.
We have advised the selling shareholders that while they are engaged in a
distribution of the shares included in this prospectus they are required to
comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling
shareholders, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person
who participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or
attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the
subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.

statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended June 30, 2003. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 consolidated financial position of USA Technologies,
Inc. at June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2003,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
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 has incurred recurring operating losses
and has a working capital deficiency at June 30, 2003. These conditions 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.

USA Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2003
1. Business
USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the Company), was
incorporated on January 16, 1992. The Company provides unattended cashless
payment/control systems and associated network and services for the copy, fax,
debit card, smart card personal computer, laundry, and vending industries. The
Company's devices make available credit and debit card and other payment methods
in connection with the sale of a variety of products and services. The Company's
customers are principally located in the United States and are comprised of
hotels, chains, consumer package goods companies, information technology and
vending operators.
The Company offers the Business Express(R) and Business Express(R) Limited
Service (LSS) principally to the hospitality industry. The Business Express(R)
and Business Express(R) Limited Service (LSS) combines the Company's business
applications for computers, copiers and facsimile machines into a business
center unit. The Company has developed its next generation of cashless
control/payment systems (e-Port(TM)), which includes capabilities for
interactive multimedia and e-commerce, acceptance of other forms of electronic
payments and remote monitoring of host machine data and is being marketed and
sold to operators, distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEM)
primarily in the vending industry.
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 to recorded
asset values that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in
existence. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses of $22 million
and $17.3 million during each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, recorded cumulative losses from its inception through June 30,
2003 amounting to approximately $75.2 million and has a working capital
deficiency at June 30, 2003. Losses have continued through September 2003 and
are expected to continue during fiscal year 2004. The Company's ability to meet
its future obligations is dependent upon the success of its products in the
marketplace. Until the Company's products can generate sufficient operating
revenues, the Company will be required to raise capital to meet its cash flow
requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
F-7

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Accounting Policies (continued)
to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being
taken will allow for the Company to continue as a going concern. Such actions
include the generation of revenues from operations, additional private placement
offerings (Note 17) and continued efforts to reduce costs.
Restatement
The Company restated the June 30, 2002 balance sheet, statement of shareholders'
equity and statement of cash flows to correct the valuation of the marketable
equity securities issued in connection with the Company's May 2002 acquisition
of Stitch Corporation (Note 4) in accordance with EITF 99-12: "Determination of
the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a
Purchase Business Combination". The Company originally valued the marketable
securities issued in connection with this acquisition at the market price a few
days before and a few days after May 14, 2002, which was the date the Company's
shareholders approved the increase in the Company's Common Stock to allow for
this transaction to close. The restated June 30, 2002 balance sheet, statement
of shareholders' equity and statement of cash flows reflect the marketable
securities issued in connection with this transaction at the market price a few
days before and a few days after April 10, 2002, the date the definitive
agreement was signed. The restated June 30, 2002 consolidated financial
statements reflect an increase in Goodwill from $6,800,827 to $7,945,580 and an
increase in Common Stock from $55,443,750 to $56,588,503. The restatement did
not impact the net loss or loss per common share reported during 2002 or 2003.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Stitch. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
F-8
USA Technologies Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are comprised of a money
market fund and certificates of deposit.
Inventory
Inventory, which principally consists of finished goods, components, and
packaging materials, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis)
or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Property and equipment is
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the respective
lease term.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets
acquired from Stitch. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on
July 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill is no longer permitted to be
amortized to earnings, but instead is subject to periodic testing for
impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment using the two-step process
prescribed by SFAS No. 142. The first step screens for potential impairment,
while the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any. The Company
uses a discounted cash flow analysis to complete the first step in this process.
The Company completed the transitional test of goodwill as of July 1, 2002, as
prescribed in SFAS No. 142, during the quarter ended December 31, 2002. The
Company concluded that there were no goodwill impairment indicators as a result
of the transitional test. The Company also performed an annual impairment test
of goodwill as of April 1, 2003 and concluded there was no goodwill impairment.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets (continued)
Intangible assets include patents and trademarks acquired in the Stitch
acquisition. The aggregate amortization expense was $292,000 and $36,500 during
the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The intangible asset
balance and related accumulated amortization consists of the following:

------------------- ------------------ ------------
Total $ 2,920,000 $ (36,500) $ 2,883,500
=================== ================== ============
At June 30, 2003, the expected amortization of the intangible assets is as
follows: $292,000 per year in fiscal year 2004 through fiscal year 2011, and
$255,500 in fiscal year 2012. The weighted average useful life of these
intangibles is 10 years.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk
consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions.
The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of
those financial institutions, and the Company's policy is designed to limit
exposure to any one institution. The Company's accounts receivable is net of an
allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company does not require collateral or
other security to support credit sales, but provides an allowance for
uncollectible accounts based on historical experience and specifically
identified risks. Accounts receivable are determined to be carried at fair value
and charged off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when management
determines that recovery is unlikely and the company ceases collection efforts.
Approximately 57% and 41% of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2003
and 2002, and 35% and 12% of the Company's revenues for the years ended June 30,
2003 and 2003, respectively are concentrated with two customers.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized on the terms of
freight-on-board shipping point, or upon installation and acceptance of the
equipment if installation services are purchased for the related equipment.
Transaction processing revenue is recognized upon the usage of the Company's
cashless payment and control network. Service fees for access to the Company's
equipment and network services are recognized on a monthly basis. Product
revenues are recognized from the sale of products from Company owned vending
machines when there is purchase and acceptance of product by the vending
customer. Customers have the ability to return vending products for a full
refund. The Company estimates an allowance of product returns at the date of
sale.
Investment
The Company accounts for investments in debt and equity securities under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, (SFAS No.
115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".
Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at the time
of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized
gains and losses reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity in
other comprehensive income (loss). If the investment sustains an other than
temporary decline in fair value, the investment is written down to its fair
value by a charge to earnings.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes software development costs pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 (SFAS No. 86), "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", after
technological feasibility of the software is established and through the
product's availability for general release to the Company's customers. All costs
incurred in the research and development of new software and costs incurred
prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as
incurred. Amortization of software development costs commences when the product
becomes available for general release to customers. Amortization of software
development costs is calculated as the greater of the amount computed using (i)
the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current
and anticipated future gross revenues of that product or (ii) the straight-line
method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The Company
reviews the unamortized software development costs at each balance sheet date
and, if necessary, will write down the balance to net realizable value if the
unamortized costs exceed the net realizable value of the asset. During May 2000,
the Company reached technological feasibility for the development of the
multi-media e-Port client product and related enhanced network and, accordingly,
the Company commenced capitalization of software development costs related to
F-11

Software Development Costs (continued)
this product and network. Costs capitalized through 2002 were $5.1 million,
which included capitalized interest of approximately $493,000, pursuant to SFAS
No. 34, "Capitalization of Interest Costs".
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the multi-media e-Port(TM) client
product and enhanced network became available for general release to the
Company's customers. The multi-media e-Port(TM) client product is equipped with
both the audit and cashless payment features, but also includes the capability
of displaying interactive advertising and content via a LCD touch screen. During
this quarter, Management performed an evaluation of the commercial success and
preliminary market acceptance of the multi-media e-Port(TM) client product and
enhanced network and as a result of this evaluation the Company determined that
the estimated future revenues less costs to complete and dispose of the
multi-media e-Port client product was zero. Therefore, the Company wrote down
$2,663,000 of software development costs related to the multi-media e-Port
client product. The unamortized balance of the software development costs after
the impairment charge is being amortized over an estimated useful life of two
years. Amortization expense was approximately $1,331,000 during the year ended
June 30, 2003 and $2,996,000 during the year ended June 30, 2002 (including the
above impairment adjustment of $2,663,000). Such amortization is reflected in
cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other
current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in the
consolidated balance sheets equal or approximate fair value due to their short
maturities. The fair value of the Company's Senior Notes, Debenture, and other
Long-Term Debt approximates book value as such notes are at market rates
currently available to the Company.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS
No. 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" on
July 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews its
long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. During the fourth quarter
of fiscal year 2003, the Company reviewed certain long-lived assets (vending
machines) and determined that such assets were impaired. These vending machines
were used and intended for use in connection with the Company's Kodak Program to
sell disposable cameras and film. Management determined that it was more likely
than not that these vending machines would be disposed of before the end of
their previously estimated useful lives. The estimated undiscounted cash flows
for this group of assets was less than the carrying value of the related assets.
As a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $321,000
representing the difference between the fair value as determined from a quoted
market price and the carrying value of the group of assets. Such amount is
reflected in depreciation expense in the 2003 consolidated statement of
operations.

Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were
approximately $72,000 and $429,000, respectively and were expensed as incurred.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and
development expenses, which are included in general and administrative and
compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations, were
$1,505,000 and $1,187,000 for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Accounting for Stock Options
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No.123), "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation", provides companies with a choice to follow the
provisions of SFAS No. 123 in determination of stock-based compensation expense
or to continue with the provisions of APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees and Related Interpretations in Accounting for Stock-Compensation
Plans" and the related FASB Interpretation No. 44. The Company has elected to
follow the provisions of APB 25. Under APB 25, if 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 SFAS No. 123 to the Company's stock-based awards results
in the same net loss and net loss per common share for the year ended June 30,
2003 on a pro-forma basis under SFAS No. 123 and under APB 25. The effect of
applying SFAS No. 123 to the Company's stock-based awards resulted in a net loss
and net loss per common share for the year ended June 30, 2002 as follows:
Net loss applicable to common shares as reported
under APB 25 $(18,137,368)

The fair value for the Company's stock options was estimated at the date of
grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for fiscal year 2002: an expected life of 2 years;
no expected cash dividend payments on Common Stock, and a risk-free interest
rate of 4.5% to 5.5%, and volatility factors of the expected market price of the
Company's Common Stock, based on historical volatility of .85 to .95 for fiscal
2002.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounting for Stock Options (continued)
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. As noted above, the Company's stock options are vested over an
extended period. In addition, option models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including future stock price volatility. Because the
Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those
of traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimates, in management's opinion, the
Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair
value of the Company's stock options. The Company's pro forma information
reflects the impact of the reduction in price of certain stock options. The pro
forma results above are not necessarily reflective of the effects of applying
SFAS 123 in future periods.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) applicable to
common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) applicable to
common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period
plus the dilutive effect (unless such effect is anti-dilutive) of equity
instruments. No exercise of stock options, purchase rights, stock purchase
warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock, cumulative preferred dividends
or Senior Notes was assumed during fiscal year 2003 or 2002 because the assumed
exercise of these securities would be antidilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (SFAS No.
148), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" (SFAS No. 123) was issued. SFAS No. 148
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provided
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS
No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent
disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method
used on reported results. The Company has provided the prescribed disclosure
format required by SFAS No. 148 during the year ended June 30, 2003.
3. Investment in Jubilee Investment Trust
During February 2003, the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of its Common Stock
($2,850,000) for an investment of 1,870,091 shares in the Jubilee Investment
Trust, PLC (`Jubilee"), a United Kingdom Investment Trust whose shares trade on
the London Stock

3. Investment in Jubilee Investment Trust (continued)
Exchange. The Company agreed not to sell the Jubilee shares for a period of 90
days from January 24, 2003 and to sell a maximum of 10% of the Jubilee shares
during each month thereafter. Jubilee has agreed not to sell the Company's
shares of Common Stock for a period of two years from the date of issuance
unless agreed to by the Company. As the investment declined in value below its
cost basis for a period of six months or more, the Company determined that the
decline in the market value of this available for sale investment was "other
than temporary" and, accordingly, the Company wrote down the investment to its
fair value as of June 30, 2003 realizing an impairment loss of $1,945,951.
4. Acquisition of Stitch Networks Corporation
On May 14, 2002, USA Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
acquired Stitch pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the
Company, USA Acquisition Corp., Stitch and the stockholders of Stitch.
Additionally, on May 14, 2002, the Company's shareholders voted to increase the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 150,000,000. The Company acquired
Stitch to strengthen its position as a leading provider of wireless remote
monitoring and cashless and mobile commerce solutions and to increase the
Company's revenue base. These revenues would include product revenues and
monthly service and transaction fees. Additionally, the acquisition of the
Stitch technology enhanced the Company's existing technology and complemented
the revenue and transaction processing revenue of the Company's existing
products. Certain Stitch personnel were believed to possess some key strengths
in several disciplines that the Company believed to be of great value in its
plans for growth.
Stitch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company effective May 14, 2002.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly,
the results of the operations of Stitch have been included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date. The purchase
price consisted of the issuance of 22,762,341 shares of the Company's Common
Stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Stitch, and the issuance of
warrants to purchase up to 7,587,447 shares of the Company's Common Stock at
$.40 per share at any time through June 30, 2002. The purchase price also
included the assumption of outstanding Stitch stock options that were converted
into options to purchase an aggregate of 2,475,318 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at $.165 per share at any time prior to May 14, 2007, warrants to
purchase up to 412,553 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $.40 per share at
any time through June 30, 2002 and other acquisition related expenses. None of
the warrants issued in connection with the acquisition were exercised as of June
30, 2003. A total of 4,800,000 shares of the Common Stock issued to the former
stockholders of Stitch are held in escrow to secure the former stockholder's
indemnification obligations under the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Such shares
are subject to cancellation if there is a breach of the indemnification (as
defined). The value of the marketable equity securities issued in connection
with this acquisition was determined based on the average market price of the
Company's Common Stock over a two-day period before and after April 10, 2002,
the date the definitive agreement to acquire Stitch was entered into. Such
valuation was in accordance with

4. Acquisition of Stitch Networks Corporation (continued)
EITF 99-12: "Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of
Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination".
During June 2002, the Company determined that it would vacate the office space
previously occupied by Stitch. Accordingly, the Company accrued the remaining
lease exit costs relating to this property in the amount of approximately
$354,000 as part of the cost of Stitch. While the Company is attempting to
sublease this space, no provision for recovery was estimated.
The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation of the fair
value of the assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

respectively, of the Company's accounts payable and accrued expenses were due to
this Board member. During the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, certain Board
members participated in various debt or equity offerings of the Company for a
total investment of approximately $661,500 and $277,500 respectively.Stitch
currently purchases parts and services from Dixie-Narco, Inc. (Dixie), an
affiliate of a shareholder (Maytag Holdings, a subsidiary of Maytag Inc.) of the
Company. There were purchases from Dixie of $201,000 and $8,000, for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2003 and for the period May 14, 2002 to June 30, 2002,
respectively. Amounts payable to Dixie included in accounts payable in the
accompanying June 30, 2003 and 2002 consolidated balance sheets were
approximately $130,000 and $124,000, respectively.
8. Commitments
o During July 2003, in connection with an amendment to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer's employment agreement (expiring June 2005) the Company
issued an aggregate of 10,500,000 shares of its Common Stock to the
Company's Chief Executive Officer. In connection with this amendment, the
Chief Executive Officer also entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to
which he shall not sell 2,500,000 of these shares of Common Stock for a
one-year period and 8,000,000 of these shares for a two-year period. The
agreement also grants the Chief Executive Officer an aggregate of
14,000,000 shares of Common Stock subject to adjustment for stock splits or
combinations in the event a "USA Transaction" (as defined) occurs, which
among other events includes a change in control of the Company. Prior to
this amendment the Chief Executive Officer would have been granted seven
percent of all the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock. The Chief Executive Officer will not be required to pay any
additional consideration for these shares of Common Stock. At the time of a
USA Transaction, all of the shares issued to the Chief Executive Officer in
connection with this amendment are automatically deemed to be issued and
outstanding, and will be entitled to be treated as any other issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock. These shares will be irrevocable and
fully vested, have no expiration date, and will not be affected by the
termination of the Chief Executive Officer with the Company for any reason
whatsoever.
o The Company conducts its operations from various facilities under operating
leases. During March 2003, the Company entered into a lease agreement for
its new corporate headquarters. The lease provides for escalating rent
payments and a period of free rent prior to the commencement of the lease
payments in January 2004. The Company has provided for deferred rent expense
for the difference between the rent payments to be made and the straight
line allocation of total rent payments to be made over the lease term. In
connection with this lease agreement, the Company has provided the landlord
with a security deposit comprised of shares in the Jubilee Investment Trust
valued at $100,000.

facility and working capital loans. The Company repaid $2,165,000 of the working
capital loans in June 2002 leaving an outstanding balance of $275,000 at June
30, 2002. These loans are secured by certain assets of Stitch. At June 30, 2003,
$166,765 of the working capital loans are outstanding which bear interest at
6.75% per annum. Such loans were payable on July 8, 2002. During fiscal year

2003 the bank extended the due date on these loans on several occasions under
forbearance agreements. At June 30, 2003, the Company is in default under this
working capital loan agreement.
The bank facility (the Facility) was utilized by Stitch to fund the purchase of
vending machines placed at locations where Kodak film products are sold.
Borrowings were made from time to time under the Facility, with repayment
schedules set at the time of each borrowing, including equal monthly payments
over 36 months and an interest rate based upon 495 basis points over the three
year U.S. Treasury Notes. The Company granted the bank a security interest in
the film products vending machines. Repayment of principal is also insured by a
Surety Bond issued by a third-party insurer in exchange for an initial fee paid
by the Company.
10. Income Taxes
At June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $76,211,000 and $54,769,000, respectively, to offset future
taxable income expiring through approximately 2023. At June 30, 2003 and 2002,
the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of approximately $29,771,000 and
$20,546,000, respectively, which was reduced by a valuation allowance of the
same amount as the realization of the deferred tax asset is not certain,
principally due to the lack of earnings history.
The timing and extent in which the Company can utilize future tax deductions in
any year may be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding
changes in ownership of corporations. Stitch had net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $10,985,000 at the acquisition date. Such net
operating loss carryforwards are limited under these provisions as to the amount
available to offset future taxable income.
The deferred tax assets arose primarily from the use of different accounting
methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

10. Income Tax (continued)
Amounts assigned to intangibles acquired in the Stitch acquisition exceeded the
tax basis. Such excess will increase taxable income as the intangibles are
amortized. The net operating loss carryforwards will be used to offset the
increase in taxable income. Accordingly, the Company recorded a deferred tax
liability of $1,171,000 and a deferred tax asset in the same amount related to
these intangibles at the acquisition date.
11. Senior Notes and Debenture
During June 2002, the Company commenced a $2,500,000 2002-A private placement
offering (subsequently increased to 430 units or $4,300,000), consisting of 12%
Convertible Senior Notes due December 31, 2005 ("2002 Senior Notes"). Each
$10,000 Senior Note is convertible into Common Stock at $.20 per share and
interest is payable quarterly. Each Note holder initially received 20,000 Common
Stock warrants, however subsequent to June 30, 2002, the Board of Directors
amended the offering to replace the warrants with 20,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock. The fair value of the Common Stock issued and the intrinsic value
of the beneficial conversion feature aggregating $2,881,847 have been allocated
to equity. This resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense
through December 31, 2005. Through June 30, 2003, the Company issued a total of
401.5 units in this offering, of which 7.5 units are reflected in subscriptions
receivable at June 30, 2003. During the year ended June 30, 2003, $489,608 of
the 2002 Senior Notes were converted into 2,448,215 shares of the Company's
Common Stock.
During fiscal year 2002, the Company commenced a $2,500,000 2001-D private
placement offering (subsequently increased to 650 units or $6,500,000),
consisting of 12% Convertible Senior Notes due December 31, 2004 ("2001 Senior
Notes"). Each $10,000 Senior Note is convertible into Common Stock at $.40 per
share and interest is payable quarterly. Certain shareholders of the Company,
who held warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company as part of an earlier
private placement at $.50 per share, were offered the opportunity to cancel a
portion of such warrants and to receive an equivalent number of new Common Stock
warrants at $.10 expiring on December 31, 2002 (subsequently extended to August
31, 2003), if they invested in the 2001-D offering. The original warrants were
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2001 or March 31, 2002 (according to their
original terms) (Note 13). The estimated fair value of the new warrants was
determined to be $1,787,084 (using the Black-Scholes method) and the intrinsic
value of the beneficial conversion feature of $1,623,352 have been allocated to
equity. This resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense

of 481.4 units, resulting in the issuance of $4,814,000 of 2001 Senior Notes.
During fiscal year 2001, the Company authorized a $6,700,000 private placement

and 2,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock. Each Note is convertible

into Common Stock at $1.25 per share anytime through December 31, 2003. The
Company issued 1,136,300 shares of Common Stock in connection with this
Offering. The fair value of the Common Stock on the date such shares were
granted of $1,215,843 and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion
feature in the 2000 Senior Notes of $409,104 was allocated to equity. This
resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense through December
31, 2003. Through June 30, 2003, $647,500 of such Notes were converted into
518,000 shares of Common Stock.
In March 2003, the Company granted to the holders of the 2000 Senior Notes and
2001 Senior Notes the right to extend the maturity date of these Senior Notes to
December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively, in exchange for reducing
the conversion rates from $1.25 to $0.20 per share for the 2000 Senior Notes and
from $0.40 to $0.20 per share for the 2001 Senior Notes. This offer has been
extended by the Company's Board of Directors until October 31, 2003. Through
June 30, 2003, $3,548,000 of the 2000 Senior Note holders and $3,363,397 of the
2001 Senior Note holders agreed to this offer and exchanged their Notes.
Subsequent to June 30, 2003 and through September 12, 2003, an additional
$456,000 of the 2000 Senior Notes and $276,701 of the 2001 Senior Notes have
been exchanged for the 2006 Senior Notes and 2007 Senior Notes, respectively.
For all 2000 Senior Note holders who agreed to exchange their Notes, such
amounts have been reflected as long-term in the accompanying June 30, 2003
consolidated balance sheet. The exchange of the 2000 Senior Notes and 2001
Senior Notes to the 2006 Senior Notes and 2007 Senior Notes was deemed a
significant modification of the terms of the Senior Notes and, accordingly the
2000 and 2001 Senior Notes have been extinguished. Accordingly, at June 30, 2003
the Company expensed $1,521,654 of unamortized debt discount and other issuance
costs remaining on the 2000 Senior Notes and 2001 Senior Notes. Such amount has
been reported as a loss on debt modification in the 2003 statement of
operations.
As the share price was greater than the conversion rate in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of this beneficial
conversion feature of $1,318,500 and $590,710 for the Senior Notes due in 2006
and 2007, respectively. Such amount has been allocated to equity and the
resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense through the Notes
maturity dates. During fiscal year 2003, $332,500 and $323,334 of the Senior
Notes maturing in 2006 and 2007, respectively, were converted into 1,662,500 and
1,616,668, shares of the Company's Common Stock.

The unamortized debt discount and other issuance costs represents fees paid in
connection with these financings, the estimated fair value of the detachable
equity instruments issued in connection with these financings, and any
beneficial conversion embedded in the debt at the commitment date. Such amounts
are being amortized over the remaining life of the respective debt instruments.
Debt discount amortization for the Senior Notes, which has been reflected as
interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, was approximately
$2,690,000 and $1,513,000 for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
During October 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved that for the
quarterly interest payment payable by the Company on its 12% Convertible Senior
Notes (for all quarters in fiscal year 2003), at the option of the note holder,
the interest payment due can be used to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock at a rate of $.20 per share. Additionally, for each share purchased, the
note holder also received a warrant to purchase one share of the Company's
Common Stock at $.20 per share exercisable at any time prior to June 30, 2004.
During the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 2,315,000 and 674,431 shares
respectively, were issued for the payment of the quarterly interest. A total of
2,315,000 and 303,831 warrants were also issued during the years ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively. The estimated fair value of the

warrants issued of approximately $279,000 and $43,000 was determined using a
Black-Scholes method and has been recorded as interest expense.
The Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investment company
for the purchase of $325,000 (as amended) of a 9.75% Convertible Debenture (the
Debenture) due August 2004. Interest on the Debenture was payable monthly in
arrears and the Debenture was convertible at a price equal to the lesser of
$1.00 or 72% (80% prior to June 18, 2002) of the lowest closing bid price of the
Company's Common Stock during the 20 day period prior to the conversion. The
Company reserved the right to prepay the portion of the Debenture that the
investment company elected to convert, plus interest, at 150% of such amount, if
the price of Common Stock is less than $0.40 per share. At the time of
conversion, the Company issued to the Debenture holder warrants to purchase an
amount of Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares issued upon the
conversion of the Debenture. The warrants are exercisable at the same conversion
price as the Debenture. Due to the significance of the beneficial conversion
feature associated with this instrument, the entire $325,000 of proceeds was
allocated to the warrants and has been allocated to equity. This debt discount
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Debenture. During
the fiscal years ending June 30, 2003 and 2002, the investment company converted
$243,000 and $82,000, respectively of the Debenture, resulting in the issuance
of 2,467,225 and 333,678 shares, respectively of Common Stock. The investment
company also exercised warrants resulting in the issuance of 7,206,893 and
3,336,780 shares of Common Stock and generating net cash proceeds of $630,000
and $804,250 during the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At
June 30, 2002, $280,000 of deposits represented funds advanced to the Company by
the investment company for future warrant exercises. Such funds were utilized
for this purpose during fiscal year 2003.
12. Series A Preferred Stock
The authorized Preferred Stock 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 one vote and is convertible at any time into one share of Common Stock.
Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one voting right. Series A
Preferred Stock provides for an annual cumulative dividend of $1.50 per share
payable to the shareholders of record in equal parts on February 1 and August 1
of each year. Cumulative unpaid dividends at June 30, 2003 and 2002 amounted to
$5,913,107 and $5,175,571, respectively. Cumulative unpaid dividends are
convertible into common shares at $10.00 per common share at the option of the
shareholder. During the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, certain holders of
the Preferred Stock converted 4,790 and 26,002 shares, respectively, into 4,790
and 26,002 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Certain of these shareholders
also converted cumulative preferred dividends of $56,050 and $268,140,
respectively, into 5,605 and 26,814 shares of Common Stock during the years
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 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. No such redemption has occurred as of June

The Company's Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan) allows employees who have
attained the age of 21 and have completed six months of service to make
voluntary contributions up to a maximum of 15% of their annual compensation, as

fiscal year 2001, the Company has amended the Plan to include a Company matching
contribution up to 10% of an employee's compensation. Effective January 1, 2003,
the matching contribution changed to a dollar-for-dollar matching contribution
on salary deferrals up to 3% of the employee's compensation then a fifty-cents
on the dollar matching contribution on salary deferrals from 3% to 5%. The

17. Subsequent Events
Bayview Technology Group, LLC
On July 11, 2003, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
substantially all of the assets of Bayview Technology Group, LLC (Bayview).
Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement the Company issued to Bayview
20,000,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock and cash of $631,000 to settle
an obligation of Bayview. The definitive agreement also provides for the Company
to assume certain obligations under a royalty agreement expiring May 31, 2006.
In connection with this transaction the Company also agreed to issue 170,000
shares of its restricted Common Stock to a consultant who provided certain
services to the Company in connection with this acquisition.
Bayview is engaged in the sale and distribution of energy saving devices, which
includes plug load controllers. Bayview's energy control products reduce energy
consumption in vending machines and glass front coolers throughout the United
States. As a result of the acquisition, the Company believes it will be the
leading provider of end-to-end networked solutions that includes wireless and
internet connections, cashless transaction and security/ ID capability and
interactive media functionality, to remote inventory and auditing control and a
provider or energy cost reductions and environmental emissions reductions. The
Company also expects to reduce costs through economies of scale.
The aggregate purchase price of Bayview was $10,099,000, which principally was
due to the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at
$9,200,000 and a cash payment of $631,000. The value of the 20,000,000 shares of
Common Stock was determined based on the average market price of the Company's
Common Stock over the two-day period before and after the definitive agreement
date of July 11, 2003. The purchase price also included other acquisition
related costs of approximately $268,000.

proceeds of $5,000,000. Of these shares, Wellington Management Company, LLP
purchased 18,000,000 on behalf of their clients, and the balance of the shares
were purchased by other investors.
During September 2003, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Common Stock to an
existing investor in connection with provision from a fiscal year 2003 equity
transaction. The Company also reduced the exercise price on 750,000 Common Stock
Warrants previously issued to this investor from $0.10 per share to $0.0665 per
share.
On September 16, 2003 and September 24, 2003, the Company sold an aggregate of
700,000 shares of its investment in Jubilee realizing net cash proceeds of

During September 2003, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
establishment of the 2003-A Stock Compensation Plan whereby 500,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock shall be available for future issuance to Company
employees, directors or consultants as compensation.
During the period from September 15, 2003 through September 30, 2003, an
additional $660,000 of the 2000 Senior Notes and $430,390 of the 2001 Senior
Notes have been exchanged for the 2006 and 2007 Senior Notes, respectively. For
the 2000 Senior Noteholders who agreed to exchange their notes, such amounts
have been reflected as long-term in the accompanying June 30, 2003 consolidated

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Members
Bayview Technology Group, LLC
Denver, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bayview Technology Group, LLC
(the "Company" and "Successor") as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
related statements of operations, members' equity and cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 2002 and for the period from June 1, 2001 (commencement of
operations) through December 31, 2001, and the statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows of Bayview Technology Group, Inc.
("Predecessor") as described in Summary of Accounting Policies - Organization,
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for the period from January 1,
2001 to May 31, 2001. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 Successor financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the period from June 1, 2001
(commencement of operations) through December 31, 2001 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects the results of operations and cash
flows of the Predecessor for the period January 1, 2001 to May 31, 2001, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
As discussed in Summary of Accounting Policies - Organization, Description of
Business and Basis of Presentation, the Successor purchased certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of the Predecessor on May 31, 2001, in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result, the financial statements
of the Sucessor are presented on a new basis of accounting from the financial
statements of Predecessor and, therefore, are not comparable.
As discussed in Summary of Accounting Policies, the Company changed its method
of accounting for goodwill in 2002.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in the Summary of
Accounting Policies - Going Concern and Management's Plans, the Company sold
substantially all of its revenue producing assets in 2003 and is dependent on
funding from its members for its continuing operations. These conditions give
rise to substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's Plans are also described in the Summary of Accounting
Policies, Going Concern and Management's Plans. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BAYVIEW TECHNOLOGY GROUP, LLC
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Bayview Technology Group LLC (the "Company" or "Successor") was organized as a
Limited Liability Company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Colorado in
December 2000. In July 2003, The Company changed its name to BT LLC. The Company
acquired Bayview Technology Group, Inc. (the "Predecessor," subsequently
changing its name to Bayview Ventures, Inc.) on May 31, 2001 (effectively June
1, 2001) and began operations on June 1, 2001. The Company is engaged in the
sale and distribution of energy saving devices, more particularly, plug load
controllers. The accompanying financial statements reflect the results of
operations and cash flows of the Predecessor for the period January 1, 2001
through May 31, 2001.
GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
As more fully described in Note 13, the Company sold substantially all of its
long-lived assets in July 2003 and does not currently anticipate continuing its
operations. Based on projections, management currently estimates that the
Company will not have the ability to meet all of its obligations as they come
due. The Company is attempting to raise additional funds from its members to
meet this budgeted shortfall but has not received a firm commitment from any of
its members to provide the necessary funding. These conditions give rise to
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In
response to this condition, management is actively trying to secure the
necessary additional funds from its members, reduce or eliminate all
non-essential costs, and negotiate extensions and reductions in the Company's
obligations with various creditors. No assurances can be provided that the
Company will be successful in executing its plans.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first in, first out
method) or market, and consist primarily of saleable finished goods including
electronic components and devices.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation are
computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from
3 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
F-38
INCOME TAXES
There is no provision for income taxes because, as a limited liability company,
the Company's taxable income is passed through to its members who pay income
taxes on their proportionate share of the taxable income.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
The Company considers all short-term investments purchased with maturity of
three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
Patents and trademarks were recorded at cost less accumulated amortization, and
were amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated life of
fifteen years.
Amortization expense on patents and trademarks was $50,612 for the year ended
December 31, 2002 and $29,167 for the period from June 1, 2001 (Commencement of
Operations) through December 31, 2001.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired at the date of acquisition (Note 1) and was being amortized on the
straight-line method over fifteen years through December 31, 2001. (See Summary
of Account Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements for treatment of goodwill
as of January 1, 2002). Goodwill amortization was $73,672 for the period ended
December 31, 2001.
F-39
LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS FOR SALE
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and patents and trademarks
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash
flow from the use of the assets and its eventual disposition is less than the
carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized and measured
using the asset's fair value.
In the period when the plan of sale criteria of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144 are met, long-lived assets are reported as
held for sale, depreciation and amortization cease, and the assets are reported
at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's financial statements, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that effect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist of cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of the insurance
provided by governmental insurance authorities. The Company's cash and cash
equivalents are placed with financial institutions and are primarily in demand
deposit accounts.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are associated
with many customers dispersed across geographic areas. The Company reviews a
customer's credit history before extending credit and establishes an allowance
for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends and other information. No allowance for doubtful accounts was
established at December 31, 2002 and 2001.
F-40
ADVERTISING COSTS
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs amounted
to $54,525 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $13,080 for the period from
June 1, 2001 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2001.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when its products are shipped to its customers,
at which time title passes to the customer and the risks and rewards of
ownership are transferred. Revenue from certain sales programs with utility
organizations are not recognized until the product has been installed at
designated locations and the Company has no remaining performance obligation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenditures are expensed in the period in which
incurred. For the period from June 1, 2001 (Commencement of Operations) through
December 31, 2001, research and development expenses were $9,432 and for the
year ended December 31, 2002 they were $32,676.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described
more fully in Note 6. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition
and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation is reflected in the Company's net income
(loss), as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had the
Company employed the fair value method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the pro forma net income (loss) of the
Company would not be materially different than the reported net income (loss)
for any period presented.
F-41
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") finalized
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of
accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141
also requires that companies recognize acquired intangible assets apart from
goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria and, upon
adoption of SFAS No. 142, that companies reclassify the carrying amounts of
intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS No. 141. SFAS No.
142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill,
but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS
No. 142 requires that companies identify reporting units for the purposes of
assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of
other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of
intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an
indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the
guidance in SFAS No. 142.
Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. As of December 31,
2001 the Company had $1,820,758 in unamortized goodwill. Upon the adoption of
SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortizable and will be subject to
impairment testing. As a result, the Company has not amortized goodwill for the
year ended December 31, 2002. Had the Company not amortized goodwill during the
period ended December 31, 2001, amortization expense would have decreased by
$73,672 and net loss would have decreased by $73,672 to ($206,721).
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company completed a transitional impairment
test and an annual impairment test of goodwill and has determined goodwill and
other intangible assets were not impaired. Goodwill will be tested annually and
whenever events and circumstances occur indicating that the asset may be
impaired.
Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company evaluated the useful lives of
existing intangible assets and determined that the existing useful lives are
appropriate.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if
a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement
costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2002. The Company's adoption of this statement had no material impact on the
Company's financial statements.
F-42
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 requires that those long-lived assets be
measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell,
whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations.
Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable
value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS
144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001 and, generally, is to be applied prospectively.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescissions of FASB Statements No.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. SFAS
No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of
Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt
Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs
associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred that at the
date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of such costs covered
by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance
costs associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing or
other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is effective prospectively for
exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. As the
provisions of SFAS No. 146 are to be applied prospectively after its adoption
date, the Company cannot determine the potential effects that adoption of SFAS
No. 146 will have on its future results of operations or financial position.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.
SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In
addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to
require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The Company adopted the
disclosure requirements effective December 31, 2002 in its financial statements.

3. LINE OF CREDIT AND LINE OF CREDIT - RELATED PARTY
The Company had a $500,000 revolving line of credit with a bank. The line of
credit was entered into on August 3, 2001 and expired on August 3, 2002. The
line of credit bore interest at a variable rate that was calculated based on an
index, which is the Bank Base Rate plus 1.5%. During the period August 3, 2001
through December 31, 2001 the rates ranged from 6.5% to 8.5% per annum. The Line
of Credit had an outstanding balance of $320,578 at December 31, 2001 and was
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, two of
the Company's members (who were also executive officers of the Company)
guaranteed the line of credit and pledged personal assets as additional
security.
Effective September 30, 2002, the Company entered into a new $500,000 line of
credit agreement with Bayview Ventures, Inc. (Note 1). The line of credit
expired on June 1, 2003. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate as

F-45
4. LONG-TERM DEBT - RELATED PARTY
Long-term debt consists of a note payable to Bayview Ventures, Inc. (see Note
1). The sole stockholder of Bayview Ventures, Inc. is an employee of the
Company. The note was in the original amount of $1,770,000 and bears interest at
the rate of 6.9% per annum and was originally payable in three annual
installments plus accrued interest beginning on June 1, 2002. The note is
secured, subject to certain subordination, by all inventories, accounts
receivable, and substantially all of the assets acquired in the business
combination (Note 1).
Effective April 30, 2002, the terms of the note payable were amended. An initial
payment of $250,000 was made June 30, 2002. Subsequent payments are to be made
based on 50% of excess cash flow defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization less fixed charges (interest expense for the
period of determination plus minimum rent payments under operating leases) and
total capital expenditures. The calculation is to be completed by the tenth day
of the subsequent month and reviewed and agreed to by the note holder. Payments
will be made immediately thereafter. During the year ended December 31, 2002,
the Company made principal payments of $557,175. Included in accounts payable
and accrued interest at December 31, 2002 and 2001 is $43,807 and $65,730 of
accrued interest due on the note.
The term of the note agreement was modified in both May and June 2003, pursuant
to which the maturity date of the note payable was extended to July 14, 2003.
Bayview Ventures, Inc. agreed to modify the repayment terms of the principal and
accrued interest on the note payable in connection with the acquisition of
certain assets of the Company by USA Technologies, Inc. ("USAT").(See Note 13)
In accordance with the modified terms, in July 2003, the Company paid Bayview
Ventures, Inc. approximately $631,000 and 1,200,000 shares of USAT common stock
having an agreed upon value of $333,333. The remaining balance owed to Bayview
Ventures, Inc. (including both principal and accrued interest) of $333,333 is to
be repaid no later than November 8, 2003.
F-46
5. LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company leases office space under three operating lease agreements. The
lease agreements generally require the Company to pay certain operating
expenses, maintenance, and property taxes. The lease agreements are
noncancellable. Two agreements expire in June 2005 and one agreement expires in
October 2003.
Rent expense was $48,324 for the period from June 1, 2001 (Commencement of
Operations) through December 31, 2001 and $111,633 for the year ended December
31, 2002.
Future minimum lease payments under the noncancellable operating leases are as
follows:
Years Ending
December 31, Amount
- -----------------------------------------
2003 $ 121,560
2004 101,172
2005 51,864
--------------
$ 274,596
==============
6. MEMBERS' EQUITY
The Company issued 60,000 units to its founding members, for $1,000 at the
formation of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of a private placement memorandum ("PPM") in 2001, the
Company issued 35,000 membership units at a per unit price of $50 for total
proceeds of $1,750,000. Issuance expenses in connection with the offering were
$37,722. Under terms of the PPM, the Company guaranteed the investors that the
value of their units would appreciate at no less than a 20% cumulative return
over the three-year period following the issuance of the units. In the event
that the overall value (as determined by a calculation defined in the PPM) of
the Company in June 2004 or the value received by the Company upon the sale of
its assets prior to that time does not provide for the minimum return, the
investors are to receive additional units as determined by a calculation
contained in the PPM. The PPM also granted the investors the right, after the
payment of amounts due to Bayview Ventures, Inc. (see Note 4), to an annual
preferential right to distributions of $200,000. No such distributions have been
paid through 2002.
F-47
6. MEMBERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Option Plan
Effective May 30, 2001, the Company adopted The Bayview Technology Group, LLC
2001 Membership Option Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to provide
a benefit to key employees and management. Participants of the Plan shall be
recommended by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the
issuance of unit options are to be approved by the Personnel and Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. The membership units, which may be
delivered under the Plan, shall not exceed an aggregate of 15,000 units. During
2002, options to purchase 4,750 membership units at a per unit price of $52.63
ware granted. In March 2003, 1,189 of the options vested and 132 options will
vest each month thereafter until all 4,750 become vested. The options expire in
June 2007. The aggregate fair value of the options granted (determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model and assuming no dividends or volatility, a
discount rate of 4.5% and an expected life of five years) was estimated to be
approximately $37,000. Upon a merger of the Company or the sale of substantially
all of its assets, any unvested options become immediately vested and
exercisable. The options became fully vested in July 2003 upon the closing of
the USAT transaction (see Note 13).
Pro forma results of operations, assuming the Company had used the fair value
method of accounting for the 2002 option grant, are not presented as they do not
differ materially from the Companys historical results.
F-48

employee. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay the
employee a base salary of $116,000 during the initial one-year term of the
employment period (as defined in the agreement). Employment is to be reviewed
annually for renewal and/or renegotiation. The employee also is to receive a
commission of 1.25% of certain sales revenue as defined in the agreement.
8. SUPPLIER AGREEMENT
Effective July 1, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated
entity for the manufacture of the Company's electronic devices. The agreement's
initial term is two years, and the agreement automatically renews for subsequent
one-year periods unless either party provides written notification of
termination. At June 30, 2003, the agreement is still in effect. In connection
with the agreement, the Company is required to provide the entity with
thirteen-week production forecasts and the Company is obligated to purchase the
manufactured devices and reimburse the entity, under certain terms of the
agreement. During the period from June 1, 2001 (Commencement of Operations)
through December 31, 2001, the Company purchased $309,775 from the entity, and
at December 31, 2001, the Company owed the entity $197,169. During the year
ended December 31, 2002, the Company purchased $1,817,383 from the entity and at

10. SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS
The Company has received greater than 10% of its revenues from certain
customers. A summary of significant customers is as follows:

11. CONTINGENCIES
In February 2003, a fire occurred in a facility in Idaho, in which the Company's
product was installed days before the fire. The insurance company representing
the company that occupied the facility is investigating the cause of the fire.
The Company has informed their insurance carrier of the incident and the Company
is currently in the process of investigating the matter and to what extent, if
any, the Company may be held responsible. The outcome of this contingency is
currently unknown. Any potential liability may be covered by the Company's
insurance carrier. No liability for the outcome of this contingency has been
recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company occupied premises in California through June 1, 2002, at which time
the premises were vacated. The landlord is seeking rent from the Company for the
period from June 2002 through October 2003 (lease termination date), in the
aggregate amount of approximately $62,000. The Company does not believe it is
responsible for this amount, as it never formally assumed the lease. Bayview
Ventures, Inc. was the original lessee. At December 31, 2002, the Company has
accrued $26,000, which represents the Company's best estimate of its expected
liability to settle the matter.

13. SALE OF OPERATIONS
On July 11, 2003, the Company sold substantially all of its fixed assets and
intellectual property (including patents and trademarks), as well as other
various assets, to USAT in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of USAT common stock.
Additionally, USAT paid approximately $631,000 to Bayview Ventures, Inc.,
representing the amount currently due to Bayview Ventures, Inc. pursuant to its
note payable from the Company (see Note 4). Pursuant to the sale agreement, the
shares of USAT common stock received by the Company cannot be sold for a
one-year period, after which time a monthly limitation will be placed on the
maximum number of shares, that may be sold.
In connection with the sale, the Company issued an additional 9,534 units to
investors in the Company's 2001 PPM pursuant to guaranteed return provisions
contained in the PPM (see Note 6). Additionally, the Company granted 10,250
units to two employees.
Management determined that the plan of sale criteria in SFAS No. 144 was met in
April 2003, at which time depreciation and amortization of these assets ceased
and the assets began to be reported at the lower of their carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell.

BAYVIEW TECHNOLOGY GROUP, LLC
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002
(Unaudited)
ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Bayview Technology Group, LLC (the "Company" was organized as a Limited
Liability Company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Colorado in December
2000. The Company is engaged in the sale and distribution of energy saving
devices, more particularly, plug load controllers.
GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
As more fully described in Note 8, the Company sold substantially all of its
long-lived assets in July 2003 and does not currently anticipate continuing its
operations. Based on projections, management currently estimates that the
Company will not have the ability to meet all of its obligations as they come
due. The Company is attempting to raise additional funds from its members to
meet this budgeted shortfall but has not received a firm commitment from any of
its members to provide the necessary funding. These conditions give rise to
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In
response to this condition, management is actively trying to secure the
necessary additional funds from its members, reduce or eliminate all
non-essential costs, and negotiate extensions and reductions in the Company's
obligations with various creditors. No assurances can be provided that the
Company will be successful in executing its plans.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2003.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first in, first out
method) or market, and consist primarily of saleable finished goods including
electronic components and devices.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation are
computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from
3 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Effective in April 2003, property and equipment was reflected as held for sale
and reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less cost to sell.
F-55
INCOME TAXES
There is no provision for income taxes because, as a limited liability company,
the Company's taxable income is passed through to its members who pay income
taxes on their proportionate share of the taxable income.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
The Company considers all short-term investments purchased with maturity of
three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
Patents and trademarks were recorded at cost less accumulated amortization, and
were amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen years.
Amortization expense on patents and trademarks was $26,911 and $25,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Commencing in April 2003,
patents and trademarks are considered to be held for sale and carried at the
lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested
annually to determine whether there is any impairment to its carrying value.
Impairment testing is also done if events or circumstances arise indicating that
impairment may have occurred.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS FOR SALE
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and patents and trademarks
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the expected future cash
flow from the use of the assets and its eventual disposition is less than the
carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized and measured
using the asset's fair value.
In the period when the plan of sale criteria of SFAS No. 144 are met, long-lived
assets are reported as held for sale, depreciation and amortization cease, and
the assets are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs
to sell.
F-56
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's financial statements, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that effect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
ADVERTISING COSTS
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs amounted
to $53,932 and $15,631 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when its products are shipped to its customers,
at which time title passes to the customer and the risks and rewards of
ownership are transferred. Revenue from certain sales programs with utility
organizations are not recognized until the product has been installed at
designated locations and the Company has no remaining performance obligation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenditures are expensed in the period in which
incurred. Research and development expenses were $39,370 and $14,147 for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts
for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation is reflected in
the Company's net income (loss), as all options granted under this plan had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying membership units on
the date of grant. Had the Company employed the fair value method of accounting
prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the pro
forma net income (loss) of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002 would not have been materially different from the reported net income
(loss).

3. LONG-TERM DEBT - RELATED PARTY
Long-term debt at June 30, 2003 consists of a note payable to Bayview Ventures,
Inc. The sole stockholder of Bayview Ventures, Inc. is an employee of the
Company. The note was in the original amount of $1,770,000 and bears interest at
the rate of 6.9% per annum and was originally payable in three annual
installments plus accrued interest beginning on June 1, 2002. The note is
secured, subject to certain subordination, by all inventories, accounts
receivable, and substantially all of the assets acquired from Bayview Ventures,
Inc.
Effective April 30, 2002, the terms of the note payable were amended. An initial
payment of $250,000 was made June 30, 2002. Subsequent payments are to be made
based on 50% of excess cash flow defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization less fixed charges (interest expense for the
period of determination plus minimum rent payments under operating leases) and
total capital expenditures. The calculation is to be completed by the tenth day
of the subsequent month and reviewed and agreed to by the note holder. Payments
will be made immediately thereafter. During the six months ended June 30, 2003,
the Company made no principal payments on this debt. Included in accounts
payable at June 30, 2003 is $81,536 of accrued interest due on the note.
The term of the note agreement was modified in both May and June 2003, pursuant
to which the maturity date of the note payable was extended to be July 14, 2003.
Bayview Ventures, Inc. agreed to modify the repayment terms of the principal and
accrued interest on the note payable in connection with the acquisition of
certain assets of the Company by USA Technologies, Inc. ("USAT").
In accordance with the modified terms, in July 2003, the Company paid Bayview
Ventures, Inc. approximately $631,000 and 1,200,000 shares of USAT common stock
having an agreed upon value of $333,333. The remaining balance owed to Bayview
Ventures, Inc. (including both principal and accrued interest) of $333,333 is to
be repaid no later than November 8, 2003.

4. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has an employment agreement with the sole stockholder of Bayview
Ventures, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to pay
a royalty to Bayview Ventures, Inc., based upon the sale of its devices. The
Company is also required to pay the employee an annual base salary of $126,240.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, royalties earned by Bayview
Ventures, Inc. were $172,107 and $190,123, respectively. Royalties payable to
Bayview Ventures, Inc. as of June 30, 2003 totaled $153,462.
5. SUPPLIER AGREEMENT
Effective July 1, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated
entity for the manufacture of the Company's electronic devices. The agreement's
initial term is two years, and the agreement automatically renews for subsequent
one-year periods unless either party provides written notification of
termination. In connection with the agreement, the Company is required to
provide the entity with thirteen-week production forecasts and the Company is
obligated to purchase the manufactured devices and reimburse the entity, under
certain terms of the agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002, the Company purchased $844,068 and $740,864, respectively from the entity.

Under the terms of this agreement, the Company is to receive a negotiated price

7. CONTINGENCIES
In February 2003, a fire occurred in a facility in Idaho, in which the Company's
product was installed days before the fire. The insurance company representing
the company that occupied the facility is investigating the cause of the fire.
The Company has informed their insurance carrier of the incident and the Company
is currently in the process of investigating the matter and to what extent, if
any, the Company may be held responsible. The outcome of this contingency is
currently unknown. Any potential liability may be covered by the Company's
insurance carrier. No liability for the outcome of this contingency has been
recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company occupied premises in California through June 1, 2002, at which time
the premises were vacated. The landlord is seeking rent from the Company for the
period from June 2002 through October 2003 (lease termination date), in the
aggregate amount of approximately $62,000. The Company does not believe it is
responsible for this amount, as it never formally assumed the lease. Bayview
Ventures, Inc. was the original lessee. At June 30, 2003, the Company has
accrued $26,000, which represents the Company's best estimate of its expected
liability to settle the matter.
8. SALE OF OPERATIONS
On July 11, 2003, the Company sold substantially all of its fixed assets and
intellectual property (including patents and trademarks), as well as other
various assets, to USAT in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of USAT common stock.
Additionally, USAT paid approximately $631,000 to Bayview Ventures, Inc.,
representing the amount currently due to Bayview Ventures, Inc. pursuant to its
note payable from the Company. Pursuant to the sale agreement, the shares of
USAT common stock received by the Company cannot be sold for a one-year period,
after which time a monthly limitation will be placed on the maximum number of
shares, that may be sold.
The long-lived assets covered by the sales agreement have been reported in the
accompanying balance sheets as assets held for sale. Management determined that
the plan of sale criteria in SFAS No. 144 was met in April 2003, at which time
depreciation and amortization of these assets ceased and the assets began to be
reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Section 1746 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended
("BCL"), authorizes a Pennsylvania corporation to indemnify its officers,
directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances against expenses and
liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving such persons because of
their holding or having held such positions with the corporation and to purchase
and maintain insurance of such indemnification. Our By-laws substantively
provide that we will indemnify our officers, directors, employees and agents to
the fullest extent provided by Section 1746 of the BCL.
Section 1713 of the BCL permits a Pennsylvania corporation, by so providing in
its By-laws, to eliminate the personal liability of a director for monetary
damages for any action taken unless the director has breached or failed to
perform the duties of his office and the breach or failure constitutes
self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. In addition, no such
limitation of liability is available with respect to the responsibility or
liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or for the payment of
taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local law. Our By-laws eliminate the
personal liability of the directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section
1713 of the BCL.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
During the three years immediately preceding the date of the filing of this
registration statement, the following securities were issued by USA without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"):
Private Placements.
During early 2001, we sold 568.15 units or a total of $5,681,500 principal
amount of 12% Convertible Senior Notes and 1,136,300 shares of common stock. Of
this amount, $3,823,000 of the senior notes were purchased through the exchange
of $3,823,000 of the old senior notes. Each unit consisted of a $10,000
principal amount Senior Note and 2,000 shares of common stock. Each 12%
78
Convertible Senior Note is convertible into Common Stock at $1.25 per share
anytime through its maturity date of December 31, 2003. Holders of the existing
12% Senior Notes due in December 2001 had the right in invest in the offering by
exchanging their existing Notes instead of paying cash. For each $10,000 face
amount existing Senior Note exchanged, the holder would receive one unit. The
offering was sold to accredited investors and did not involve any general
advertising or solicitation, and was therefore exempt from registration under
Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
On April 20, 2001 the Company sold 450,000 shares of its Common Stock to 9
accredited investors for $1.00 per share for an aggregate of $450,000. The
offering was sold to accredited investors and did not involve any general
advertising or solicitation, and was therefore exempt from registration under
Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
In April 2001, the Company issued shares of common stock to our executives as
follows: George R. Jensen, Jr.- 125,000 shares; Stephen P. Herbert - - 120,000
shares; H. Brock Kolls, Jr.- 87,000 shares; Leland P. Maxwell - 39,500 shares;
and Michael Lawlor - 34,500 shares. The Company issued the shares pursuant to
the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act. All of
these investors are accredited investors and we obtained appropriate investment
representations and the securities contained appropriate restrictive legends
under the Act.
During July 2001, the Company issued to La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. a warrant
to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrant can be exercised
at any time in whole or in part within one year following the effectiveness of
the registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon
exercise of the warrant. The exercise price of the warrant is the lower of $1.00
or 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the 20 trading
days prior to exercise. The Company has agreed to prepare and file at its cost
and expense a registration statement covering the resale of La Jolla of the
shares underlying the warrant. At the time of the issuance of the warrant, La
Jolla paid to the Company a non-refundable fee of $50,000 to be credited towards
the exercise price under the warrant. A broker-dealer received a commission of
$3,500 in connection with this warrant. The offering of the warrant and the
underlying shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Act. La Jolla is an accredited investor and we obtained appropriate investment
representation and the securities contained appropriate restrictive legends
under the Act.
During August 2001, the Company issued to La Jolla a $225,000 Convertible
Debenture bearing 9 3/4 percent interest with a maturity date of August 2, 2003.
Interest is payable by the Company monthly in arrears. The Debenture is
convertible at any time after the earlier of the effectiveness of the
registration statement referred to below or 90 days following issuance at the
lower of $1.00 per share or 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common
Stock during the 20 days preceding exercise. If on the date of conversion the
closing bid price of the shares is $.40 or below, the Company shall have the
right to prepay the portion being converted at 150% of the principal amount
being converted. In such event, La Jolla shall have the right to withdraw its
conversion notice. At the time of conversion of the Debenture, the Company has
79
agreed to issue to La Jolla warrants to purchase an amount of Common Stock equal
to ten times the number of shares actually issued upon conversion of the
Debenture. The warrants are exercisable at any time for two years following
issuance and at the related conversion price of the Debenture. The Company has
agreed to prepare and file at its expense a registration statement covering the
resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debenture as well as the
related warrants issuable upon conversion of the Debenture. La Jolla paid to the
Company the sum of $100,000 at the time of the issuance of the Debenture and has
agreed to pay $125,000 at the time of the effective date of the registration
statement. The convertible debenture was issued pursuant to the exemption from
registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act. La Jolla is an accredited
investor and we obtained appropriate investment representation and the
securities contained appropriate restrictive legends under the Act.
During the period from March 2001 through September 2001, we sold a total of
739.54 units in the 2001-B Private Placement Offering at a price of $6,000 per
unit. Each unit consisted of 10,000 shares of common stock and 20,000 2001-B
common stock purchase warrants. The offering was sold to 193 accredited
investors, and did not involve any general advertising or solicitation, and was
therefore exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
under the Act.
During the period from September 2001 through October 19, 2001, we sold for our
2001-C offering an aggregate of 4,212,350 shares of common stock at $.50 per
share for a total of $2,106,175. For each share of common stock purchased, each
investor also received a 2001-C warrant. The offering was sold to 102 accredited
investors, and did not involve any general advertising or solicitation, and was
therefore exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
under the Act.
During October 2001, the Company issued 200,000 shares to Ratner & Prestia,
P.C., an accredited investor. The offering did not involve any general
advertising or solicitation, and was therefore exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Act. The proceeds from the sales of the shares will be
applied by Ratner & Prestia towards the unpaid professional fees due to them by
the Company. The investor is an accredited investor and we obtained appropriate
investment representation and the securities contained appropriate restrictive
legends under the Act.

Item 28. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
96
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement. Provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the

Attn: Mr. Travis Huff, Portfolio Manager
Re: USA Technologies, Inc.
Dear Mr. Huff:
As you know, the SEC staff has indicated that the issuance by USA to La
Jolla in March 2003 of warrants to purchase up to 9,000,000 shares of common
Stock may be in violation of the registration provisions of the 1933 Act. In
such event, La Jolla has rescission rights in connection these warrants under
Section 12(1) of the 3.933 Act. These warrants (which were in addition to the
conversion warrants issuable at the time of conversion of the convertible
debenture) had been granted to La Jolla in recognition of the delay in having
the resale registration statement declared effective on a timely basis. On the
date hereof, USA and La Jolla agree that these 9,000,000 warrants (none of which
have been exercised) are hereby canceled and rescinded and of no further force
or effect whatsoever.
This will also confirm that as of the date hereof, La Jolla holds
additional warrants to purchase up to 17,465,376 shares of Common Stock at
$.1008 per share. These so-called "conversion warrants" were issued to La Jolla
in Connection with and at the time of the conversions of the convertible
debenture on April 18. 2003, April 24, 2003 and June 2. 2003. The Common Stock
underlying these warrants had originally been included in the November 8, 2002
registration statement. The SEC staff indicated that because the Conversion
warrants had not vested as of November e, 2002, the shares underlying the
warrants had to be removed from the registration statement. USA will include
these Shares in the new resale registration statement to be filed with the SEC
within the next several weeks.
This will confirm that the entire convertible debenture has been
converted into Common Stock as of June 2, 2003, and that all, of the shares
issued upon conversion have been sold by La Jolla under Rule 144.
Except as otherwise set forth above, the existing agreements
between USA and La Jolla shall not be amended or modified in any respect
whatsoever and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their
terms.
Please indicate La Jolla's agreement to this letter agreement by
signing below where indicated and returning it to me.
Sincerely.

Re: USA Technologies, Inc.
Dear Sir or Madam:

This will confirm that USA and Alpha have agreed to the following as a result of
the Non-Registration Event:

the shares shall be delivered to Grushko & Mittman, P.C., attorneys for Alpha,
shall bear an appropriate restrictive legend under the 1933 Act and shall be
subject to stop transfer instructions. In connection with these shares, USA

the Subscription Agreement.
2. The Purchase Price for the 750,000 shares of Common Stock underlying
the Warrant shall be reduced to $.0665 per share. USA confirms that the holding
period under Rule 144 for the Warrant Shares upon a cashless exercise of the
Warrants would be the original issuance date of the Warrants.

attorneys for Alpha, in the amount of $5,000.00 (USD) within fifteen (15) days

Sections 1,2, and 3 above will be in full satisfaction of any and all penalties

has sold all of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock and the 750,000 Warrant Shares
under Rule 144 on or before January 31, 2004, there shall be no further
penalties due for any period after December 31, 2003.
USA and Alpha confirm that because of the occurrence of the
Non-Registration Event, Alpha shall not purchase and USA shall not sell any of
the Second Closing Securities as contemplated in Section 9. Second Closing. of
the Subscription Agreement.
Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Subscription
Agreement and the Warrants shall not be amended or modified in any respect
whatsoever and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms. Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, all capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription
Agreement.
If USA shall default in its obligation to deliver the shares under
Section 1 hereof or to deliver the cash payment under Section 3 hereof, then
this letter agreement shall become null and void.
Please indicate Alpha's agreement to this letter agreement by signing
below where indicated and returning it to me.
Sincerely,
USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
