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.
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.
5
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.
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. All the
information obtained at the vending machine 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.
6
At March 31, 2003 the Company had a total of 1,753 TransActs and e-Ports
installed at various hotels, vending machines, and amusement theme parks located
throughout the United States and Canada.
Research and Development Costs
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, 2002 and 2001, and for the nine
months ended March 31, 2003, the Company expensed approximately $1,187,000,
$1,260,000, and $1,274,000, respectively for the development of our proprietary
technology and is reflected in general and administrative expense in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
7
ABOUT OUR OFFERING
Our selling shareholders are as of the date of this prospectus as follows:
* holders of 91,676,004 shares
* holders of unexercised warrants which if exercised would represent
15,574,874 shares (based upon the price of our shares of $.40 on
August 5, 2003, all of these warrants have exercise prices less than
this share price)
Based upon the shares outstanding as of March 31, 2003 of 131,880,995, if
all of these warrants are exercised and all of the shares now held by the
selling shareholders are considered issued as of that date, we would have
239,131,873 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.
8
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 March 31, 2003, our cumulative losses are $65.8 million. For our fiscal
years ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, and for the nine months ended March 31,
2003, we have incurred net losses of $10,956,244, $17,314,807, and $12,542,898,
respectively. If we continue to incur losses, the price of our common stock can
be expected to fall.
9
2. Our existence is dependent on our ability to raise capital which may
not be available.
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
$700,000 and would require funds from the sales of securities of approximately
$8,400,000 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, 2002 consolidated financial statements
indicating that as of June 30, 2002, 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.
10
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, 2004. 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.
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 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
11
Government granted us seventeen patents as of April 12, 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.
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
12
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
March 31, 2003, the unpaid and cumulative dividends on the series A preferred
stock equal $5,953,187. 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 March 31, 2003,
$2,621,924 of unpaid and cumulative dividends on the Series A preferred stock
were converted into 282,369 shares of common stock. See "Description of
Securities-Series A Convertible 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.
On March 31, 2003, we have an installed base of only 1,753 TransActs and
e-Ports at commercial locations and revenues have been limited . 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.
13
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 March 31, 2003, these shares consisted of the following:
14
- - 131,880,995 shares of common stock
- - 527,832 shares of preferred stock
- - 42,384,288 shares underlying options and warrants; and
- - 57,036,743 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 3,317,485
shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 39,066,803 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 May 13, 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. In
addition, when Stitch is required to repay the amount due, the funds required to
repay the bank would adversely affect our liquidity.
15
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 the date hereof we have approximately $1,563,500 of unsecured senior
notes due on December 31, 2003, approximately $1,314,108 of unsecured senior
notes due on December 31, 2004, approximately $3,891,150 of unsecured notes due
on December 31, 2005, approximately $3,335,500 of unsecured notes due on
December 31, 2006, and approximately $3,363,396 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 $412,000, or $1,648,000 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.
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 63 of
this prospectus. We will, however, receive proceeds from the exercise of any
warrants by the selling shareholders.
As of the date of this prospectus, we would receive $1,814,974 of proceeds
from the exercise of all these warrants at the stated exercise price. Because
all of these options and warrants have exercise prices of less than $.21 per
share, all of these 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, capitalized software; long-lived assets, goodwill and other
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 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.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company capitalizes software development costs 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 commence when the product becomes
available for general release to customers. Amortization of software development
costs will be 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. Amortization
of such costs commences when the product becomes available for general release
to it customers. 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.
The Company evaluates the net realizable value of capitalized software
development costs based on the estimated future gross revenues of related
products reduced by the estimated
17
costs of completing such products and of performing maintenance and customer
support, if applicable. When the Company's gross revenues are significantly less
than our estimates, the net realizable value of our capitalized software would
be impaired and such capitalizable costs are charged to expense in the period
known. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the e-Port product and related
network became available for general release to the Company's customers.
Management performed an evaluation of the commercial success and preliminary
market acceptance of the e-Port product and network during the fourth quarter by
performing a net realizable value analysis as described above. As a result of
this analysis, the Company wrote down to its net realizable value $2,663,000 of
software development costs.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS
Prior to July 1, 2002, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of", the Company reviewed its property and equipment and unamortized
intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the
carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company estimated the
future cash flows expected to result from operations and if the sum of the
expected undiscounted future cash flows was less than the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset, the Company recognized an impairment loss by reducing the
unamortized cost of the long-lived asset to its estimated fair value. If the
Company's estimate of undiscounted future cash flows were less than the carrying
amount of the long-lived asset, the carrying value of the asset would be
impaired.
The FASB recently issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", that is applicable to the Company for its
fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Statement No. 144 supercedes Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of", and portions of APB Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of
Operations. This Standard provides a single accounting model for long-lived
assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have
to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale
is an important distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated
at the lower of fair value and carrying amount. The provisions of this Standard
were adopted by the Company on July 1, 2002 and did not have a significant
effect on the Company`s financial position or results of operations.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statements No. 141, "Business Combinations",
and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Statement No. 141 requires
that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 and includes guidance on the initial recognition
and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 142 prohibits the
amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and
requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually.
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 Statement No. 142 the Company tested goodwill for impairment during
fiscal year 2003 using the transitional two-step process prescribed in Statement
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 completed the required transitional impairment test of goodwill
as of July 1, 2002, as prescribed in Statement No. 142, during the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company concluded
that there was no impairment to record as a result of this test. The Company
will perform the impairment tests required under Statement No. 142 on an annual
basis unless other indicators are present.
INVESTMENT
The Company's investment relates to its investment 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" in accordance with Statement No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". 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). 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
18
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.).
19
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form SB-2 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
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 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.
INTRODUCTION
The Company had a net loss during the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
and for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 of $17,314,807, $10,956,244, and
$12,542,898, respectively, and anticipates incurring operating losses for the
remainder of fiscal 2003.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003:
The nine month period ended March 31, 2003 resulted in a net operating loss
of $12,542,898 compared to a net loss of $8,182,495 for the comparable period in
the prior fiscal year. Losses are projected to continue until sufficient revenue
is generated from equipment, product sales and service and transaction fees from
the Company's proprietary technology.
Revenues for the nine month period ended March 31, 2003 were $2,233,330, an
increase of $1,115,059 or 100% from the nine month period ended March 31, 2002.
This increase in revenues is primarily due to the product revenues and service
and transaction fees relating to Stitch Networks Corporation, which accounted
for approximately $895,000 of the revenue increase. The remaining increase was
due to equipment sales of e-Port and Business Express. The Company is
continually increasing its sales efforts to sell e-Ports and its Business
Express products.
Overall, operating expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2003
were $11,468,740, representing a $3,149,088 or 38% increase over the prior
period. The significant increases in each category were as follows:
The increase of $1,445,368 or 236% in cost of sales is due primarily to the
inclusion of amortization of software development costs of $873,828 in cost of
sales as well as the cost of product relating to sales of Stitch Networks
Corporation. The remaining increase in cost of sales is attributable to the
increase in e-Port sales.
The increase in general and administrative expenses was $642,972 or 15%.
This increase is due to changes in the following expenses: product development
increase of $848,000 for work on the network; telephone expense increase of
$255,000 primarily due to Stitch Network operations; legal expense increase of
$188,000 for corporate activity required to grow and maintain our business;
insurance increase of $86,000 primarily for director and officer coverage;
consulting and promotion expense decrease of $639,000 for
20
reduced corporate and investor relations services. 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 decreased $388,818 or 12% from the comparable nine
month period last year. This decrease is due to a decrease in bonus expenses
during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 versus the nine months ended March
31, 2002.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $490,214 for the nine
month period ending March 31, 2003, which is directly attributable to increased
depreciation expense resulting from assets acquired in the Stitch acquisition.
The Company incurred a charge during the nine months ended March 31, 2003
relating to the modification of debt terms for certain 1999 and 2000 Senior
Notes in the amount of $959,352. There was no such comparable charge during the
same period in the prior year. This charge relates to the unamortized debt
discount remaining for the Senior Notes maturing in December 2003 and December
2004 whose conversion and maturity terms were modified. 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.
Interest expense increased by $2,327,866, 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.
21
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Company had a net loss of
$17,314,807. The loss applicable to common shares of $18,137,368 or $0.50 loss
per common share (basic and diluted) was derived by adding the $17,314,807 net
loss, the $822,561 of cumulative preferred dividends, and dividing by the
weighted average shares outstanding of 35,994,157.
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, focused mainly on the customer
acceptance of the e-Port and through June 30, 2002 and 2001, have not produced
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 e-Ports as well as its Business Express products.
Overall, operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 were
$16,999,478, representing a $7,378,803 or 77% increase over the prior year. This
increase is due to the increases of $3,098,688 or 380% in cost of sales,
$2,361,637 or 42% in general and administrative expenses, $1,687,886 or 57% in
compensation expense, and $230,592 or 71% in depreciation and amortization
expense. The significant increases in each category are as follows:
The increase of $3,098,688 and 380% 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 approximately $2.9 million, including an
impairment charge of approximately $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. The remaining increase in cost of sales is
attributable to the increase in sales, primarily related to the Stitch revenues
in fiscal 2002.
22
The majority of the increase in general and administrative expenses of
$2,361,637 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 MBE
litigation, which was settled in fiscal year 2001.
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 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 increased depreciation expense resulting from
assets acquired in the Stitch acquisition.
Other income and expense increased by $895,459, 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 Senior Notes.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2001:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the Company had a net loss of
$10,956,244. The loss applicable to common shares of $11,792,785 or $.70 loss
per common share (basic and diluted) was derived by adding the $10,956,244 net
loss, the $836,541 of cumulative preferred dividends, and dividing by the
weighted average shares outstanding of 16,731,999.
Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 were $1,451,002, a
decrease of $603,339 or 29% from the prior year, primarily due to a decrease of
$745,000 or 55% in equipment and installation sales of our higher priced
Business Express and Business Express Limited Service Series (LSS). Offsetting
this decrease were increases in the sale of the Company`s standalone TransAct
control system of $129,000 or 462% and the initial sales of the non-media e-Port
control system of $19,000 or 100%.
Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 were $9,620,675,
representing a $746,333 or 8% increase over the prior year. The primary
contributors to these increases were compensation expense and general and
administrative expense offset by reductions in cost of sales, as detailed below.
The exchange of the 1999 Senior Notes to the 2000 Senior Notes was
determined to be a substantial modification of the terms of the original debt
instrument and, accordingly, the Company wrote-off the unamortized debt discount
and other issuance costs associated with the exchange of the 1999 Senior Notes
in the amount of $863,000. Such amount has been reported as a (non-cash)
extraordinary item in the fiscal year 2001 statement of operations.
Cost of sales decreased by $442,555 from the prior year, primarily
reflecting the decrease in the Business Express and Business Express LSS centers
sold. General and administrative expenses of $5,628,014 increased by $626,182 or
13%. This increase was due to increased product development costs of $450,000,
public relations expenses of $188,000, license expense for DoubleClick Adserver
software of $120,000, market research expenses of $88,000, trade show and
related travel expenses of $74,000, offset by a decrease in legal expenses of
$238,000, primarily associated with the MBE litigation which has been settled in
fiscal year 2001.
23
Compensation expense was $2,966,776, an increase of $463,611 or 19% from
the previous year. The increase was due to an increase in executive bonus
expense of $234,000 or 66%, of which $201,000 was non-cash. Additional increases
in salaries and related employee benefits of $169,000 or 9%, are due to
increased personnel activities in all areas of the Company and an increase of
$51,000 in the matching 401K Company contributions instituted in July 2000. The
exchange of the 1999 Senior Notes to the 2000 Senior Notes was determined to be
a substantial modification of the terms of the original debt instrument and,
accordingly, the Company wrote-off the unamortized debt discount and other
issuance costs associated with the exchange of the 1999 Senior Notes in the
amount of $863,000.
Depreciation expense of $209,646 increased by $99,095, which is directly
attributable to the increased depreciable asset base.
Other income and expense decreased by $481,909, primarily as a result of
the extension of the amortization period of the debt discount due to the
exchange of certain 1999 Senior Notes into 2000 Senior Notes, which is a
non-cash expense.
In November 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) required companies to adopt a new methodology
for computing the beneficial conversion feature of convertible securities, which
is to be applied retroactively for commitments entered into on or after May 20,
1999. Accordingly, a one-time, non-cash charge of $821,000 has been recorded for
the cumulative effect of accounting change as required under the guidance
provided by the EITF.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, "Business Combinations", and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. Statement No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be
used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement No.
141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of
goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 142 prohibits the amortization of
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Statement No. 142
requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually.
Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their
estimated useful lives. As Statement No. 142 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, the Company will adopt the Statement on July
1, 2002. Although the Company did not adopt Statement No. 142 until fiscal year
2003, the nonamortization provisions of Statement No. 142 for combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 are applicable for the Company effective July 1,
2001.
Under Statement No. 142 the Company will test goodwill for impairment
during fiscal year 2003 using the transitional two-step process prescribed in
Statement No. 142. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while
the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. The Company
expects to perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets as of July 1, 2002 in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2003. If the first test indicates a potential impairment, the second
phase will be completed to calculate any actual impairment. Any impairment
charge resulting from these transitional impairment tests will be reflected as
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2003. The Company completed the transitional test of goodwill as
of July 1, 2002, as prescribed in Statement No. 142, during the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company concluded
that there was no impairment to record as a result of this test. The Company
will perform the impairment tests required under Statement No. 142 on an annual
basis unless other indicators are present.
The FASB recently issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, that is applicable to financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB`s new rules
on asset impairment supersede FASB Statement 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and portions
of APB Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations. This Standard provides a
single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and
significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an
asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important
distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at the lower of
fair value and carrying amount. This Standard also requires expected future
operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period in
which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as
presently required. The provisions of this Standard will be adopted by the
Company on July 1, 2002 and are not expected to have a significant effect on the
Company`s financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 62, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." SFAS No. 145 requires gains and losses on extinguishments of debt
to be classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as
extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS No. 4. Extraordinary
treatment will be required for certain extinguishments as provided in Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
- -Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS
No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Upon
adoption of SFAS No. 145, any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt previously
classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods that does not meet the
criteria of APB Opinion No. 30 for such classification should be reclassified to
conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 145. Accordingly, the $863,000
extraordinary loss on the 2001 exchange of debt (Note 10), has been reclassified
as a loss from continuing operations during fiscal year 2001 in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
At March 31, 2003 we had a total of 1,753 TransActs and e-Ports at various
hotels, vending machines and amusement theme parks located throughout the United
States and Canada.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, revenues generated from
equipment sales of Business Express and related hospitality offerings were
approximately $544,000. These revenues were a result of USA`s sales of the
equipment with various hotel chains, directly and through distributors.
In May 2002, we acquired Stitch to increase product offerings and the
related revenues. These revenues would include product revenues based on
purchases of cameras and film and the related monthly service fees.
Additionally, certain Stitch personnel which the Company believed would enhance
its business were also acquired. Since we acquired Stitch, we have eliminated a
substantial number of former Stitch employees, are in the process of combining
technologies, consolidating facilities and reducing duplicative operating
expenses. We are also attempting to reduce our operating expenses incurred in
connection with the ongoing Stitch business operations.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the costs incurred in the
ongoing maintenance of our network were reduced by approximately $500,000. The
costs saved in eliminating the Stitch employees were approximately $500,000 per
year.
24
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
spring 2003 and through the date of this prospectus no revenues have been
generated from this arrangement.
Recently, the Company completed development of an e-Port application using
hotel room keys, and 40 vending machines are now operating with such technology
at the 1,400 room Gaylord Palms Resort Hotel in Orlando, Florida. Through the
date of the prospectus, approximately $14,000 of reveneues have been generated
through these equipment sales.
25
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 nine months ended March 31, 2003 were
approximately $358,000. In May 2003, the company notified the parties to the
Kodak Agreement that Maytag Corporation and Dixie-Narco had breached the Kodak
Agreement by failing to perform their various obligations thereunder.
Dixie-Narco and Maytag Corporation have denied breaching the Kodak Agreement,
and the parties are presently attempting to negotiate a settlement of this
matter.
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 would license its software to the purchaser and
would receive a fee from the licensing of each such chip. 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. As of the date of this prospectus, no products have been
available for commercial use and accordingly, no revenues have been generated.
In laundry, American Sales Inc. (ASI) 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 summer of
2002. The agreement provides that if ASI purchases at least 9,000 units over the
contract period, then ASI shall have exclusive rights to the units in Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Marshall University. Through the date of this
prospectus ASI has not purchased any units.
On July 11, 2003, USA purchased substantially all of the operating assets
of Bayview Technology Group, LLC ("Bayview"), a Colorado limited liability
company, 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. As a result of the Bayview transaction,
we acquired a complementary product in the vending industry.
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. We also agreed
to issue 170,000 shares to an individual as an introduction fee.
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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for a
period of one year (from July 11, 2004 through July 11, 2005).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Company completed several
financing transactions. Net proceeds of $3,912,765 were realized from private
placement offerings of Common Stock including the exercise of Common Stock
Purchase Warrants and Options, and net proceeds of $3,944,233 were
26
realized from private placement offerings of Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2002,
the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,607,486, which included cash and
cash equivalents of $557,970 and inventory of $877,814.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, net cash of $6,133,766 was used
by operating activities, primarily due to the net loss of $17,314,807 offset by
a non-cash charge of $4,532,533 for Common Stock, options and warrants issued
for services; $3,032,479 of non cash amortization primarily to record an
impairment charge of $2,663,000 to reduce such software development costs to
fair value; and $1,513,118 of non-cash amortization of the debt discount
relating to the Senior Notes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, net
cash used in investing activities was $63,459 principally due to the increase in
software development costs of $2,238,771 relating to the e-Port and associated
network, offset by the cash acquired in the Stitch acquisition. The net cash
provided by financing activities of $5,937,625 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 2001 and 2002 Senior Notes, as described in the prior paragraph,
offset by the paydown during June 2002 of $2,165,000 of debt assumed in the
Stitch acquisition.
In June 2002, the Company commenced a private placement offering (the
2002-A offering) of up to $4,000,000 of Convertible Senior Notes (later
increased to $4,300,000). The offering consists of up to 400 units at $10,000,
convertible into Common Shares at $.20 per share. Each noteholder initially was
to receive 20,000 Common Stock warrants for each unit purchased. However,
subsequent to June 30, 2002, the offering was amended to replace the warrants
with 20,000 shares of Common Stock for each unit. The offering is exempt from
the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506
thereunder and is being offered and sold only to accredited investors. The
Company has agreed to prepare and file at its expense a registration statement
covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock. The offering terminated
October 31, 2002 with total subscriptions of $4.284 million received prior to
any shareholder conversion. Mr. Jensen and Mr. Herbert have each subscribed for
$100,000 into this offering, as compensation for services rendered and to be
rendered.
During August 2001, the Company issued to La Jolla Cove Investors a
$225,000 (increased by $100,000 on June 18, 2002) 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 the
lower of $1.00 per share or 80% (later lowered to 72%) of the lowest closing bid
price of the Common Stock during the 20 days preceding exercise. La Jolla is
limited to no more than 5% of the investment that is convertible during any
month. 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
27
Debenture. At June 30, 2002, there were $243,000 Convertible Debentures
outstanding with a due date extended (by Agreement on June 18, 2002) to August
2, 2004. Subsequent to June 30, 2002 and through March 31, 2003, La Jolla
converted $51,000 of Debentures into 495,421 shares of Common Stock and
exercised Warrants to purchase 4,954,210 shares of Common Stock. Total proceeds
for the warrants were $510,000, for which the Company received cash proceeds of
$350,000 and utilized a previously received deposit of $160,000. Subsequent to
March 31, 2003 and through June 2, 2003, La Jolla converted the remaining
$8,465,380 principal balance of the debenture. In connection with the
conversions we issued warrants to La Jolla to purchase an aggregate of
10,718,060 shares, 8,465,380 of which were exercisable at $.1008 per share and
2,252,680 of which were exercisable at $.0708 per share. During May 2003, La
Jolla exercised all of the warrants exercisable at $.0708 per share for an
aggregate exercise price of $159,489.74.
In connection with the Stitch acquisition (Note 3 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. All but
$225,000 of these working capital loans bear interest at a variable rate based
on the bank`s prime rate. These loans are secured by the assets of Stitch. At
June 30, 2002 $275,000 of working capital loans are outstanding of which
$225,000, bears interest at 6.75%, was payable on July 8, 2002 and $50,000 was
payable on demand. Subsequent to June 30, 2002 and through February 21, 2003,
the Company has made payments to the bank totaling $ 66,939. The outstanding
balance as of March 31, 2003 is approximately $ 167,000. On July 26, 2002,
August 29, 2002 and September 27, 2002, October 31, 2002, February 3, 2003 and
February 19, 2003, the bank agreed to extend the due date of these notes until
September 1, 2002, October 1, 2002, November 1, 2002, December 1, 2002, March 1,
2003 and March 17, 2003, respectively. In connection with these extensions, the
Company paid $3,000 of fees to the bank. The Company is currently in default
under this loan.
Also as a result of the Stitch acquisition, the Company incurred increased
operating costs. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2003, this increase
was approximately $900,000. As discussed above, we are attempting to reduce
these increased operating expenses.
At June 30, 2002 the Company also has a $1.5 million borrowing facility
available (the Facility) to fund the purchase of vending machines placed at
locations where Kodak film products are sold. Borrowings are 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 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. Subsequent to June
30, 2002, the Company has not borrowed any additional funds under this facility.

============
During the remainder of fiscal 2003, the Company anticipates expensing
additional expenditures of approximately $0.5 million for enhancements to its
software development on its network.
The Company has incurred losses of $17.3 million, $11.0 million, and $12.5
million during each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2002 and 2001, and for
the nine months ended March 31, 2003, respectively, and cumulative losses from
inception through March 31, 2003 amounting to $65.8 million. At March 31, 2003
the Company`s working capital deficit is $4,904,450. The Company will require
additional debt or equity financing for its operations which may not be readily
available. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company`s ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company`s independent auditors have included an
explanatory paragraph in their report on the Company`s June 30, 2002
consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that the funds available
at June 30, 2002 combined with events that have occurred to date and are
anticipated to occur including the anticipated revenues to be generated during
fiscal year 2003, the potential capital to be raised from the exercise of the
Common Stock Purchase Warrants, the funds anticipated to be received in current
and future private placements, and the ability to reduce anticipated
expenditures, will allow the Company to continue as a going concern.
During the 2002 fiscal year the Company used cash of approximately $500,000
per month in its operations. During the nine months ended March 31, 2003 the
Company used cash of approximately $700,000 per month in its operations and
continues to use $700,000 per month of cash in operations subsequent to March
31, 2003. This increase is due to approximately $90,000 increase in monthly
costs for payroll and operating expenses related to the May 2002 Stitch
acquisition and an increase of approximatly $110,000 in monthly payroll and
services cost rendered to the Company (substantially all of which had been paid
through the issuance of securities by the Company in the 2002 fiscal year).
Our subsidiary, Stitch, is currently in default on a working capital loan
acquired in connection with the Stitch acquisition with a current outstanding
balance of $167,000. If we cannot negotiate a satisfactory payment arrangements
with the bank, we intend to pay off this debt in full from working capital. The
equipment line of credit acquired in the Stitch acquisition has an outstanding
balance of $965,000 at March 31, 2003. The Company is current on its payment
terms for this line of credit agreement.
Our working capital deficit at March 31, 2003 was $4,904,450. At March 31,
2003 accounts payable was approximately $4.4 million of which $2.5 million is
outstanding greater than 90 days. The Company works with its vendors on a
continuous basis to reduce the outstanding payable balances. The significant
amount of our working capital deficit has had the effect of increasing the
immediacy of timing of our capital needs. In addition, the time and attention
given by management to satisfying our working capital deficit detracts from
management`s pursuit of development and sales of our products.
In March 2003 the Company granted to the holders of the Senior Notes due on
December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004 the right to extend the maturity date to
December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively, in exchange for the the
reduction of the conversion rate on these notes from $1.25 and $.40 per share to
$.20 per share. Management anticipates that substantially all of the note
holders will accept this change and, accordingly the Company does not believe it
will require any substantial amounts of cash to fund these obligations at their
maturity at December 31, 2003. As of July 25, 2003, $3,470,500 million of the
2003 Notes have been extended to December 31, 2006 and $3,328,392 of the 2004
Senior Notes have been extended to December 31, 2007.
Our working capital deficit as of May 31, 2003 was $1,538,359 representing
a substantial decrease of approximately $3.4 million from our working capital
deficit at March 31, 2003. During this two month period we raised capital
through equity offerings and we were able to pay many of our past due accounts
payable. In addition, during this period, the holders of approximately $400,000
of our notes due December 31, 2003 agreed to extend the maturity dates of these
notes until December 31, 2006 (in exchange for the reduction in the conversion
rate of the notes). Our cash position on May 31, 2003 was approximately
$2,000,000 as compared to our cash position of approximately $573,000 on March
31, 2003.
29
We currently have limited cash resources and liquidity, and must continue
to raise funds through sales of our securities in order to continue business
operations. For the 2003 calendar year, the Company anticipates that it would
require cash of $8.4 million for funding of business operations ($700,000 per
month) and $9.8 million to pay all of our accrued and unpaid liabilities as of
March 31, 2003 (consisting of $4.4 million of accounts payable, $2.0 of senior
notes, net, $2.6 million of accrued expenses, and $.8 million of current
obligations under long-term debt) for a total funding requirement of $18.2
million.
After subtracting $1.5 million of certain current assets as of March 31,
2003 (consisting of cash, accounts receivable and inventory), the extension of
the maturity date of $300,000 senior notes and the $7 million raised by us
through June 30, 2003 from the sale of shares and exercise of our noteholder
warrants, we anticipate our additional cash needs for the 2003 calendar year to
be $9.4 million.
Of this $9.4 million amount, we anticipate raising $3.6 million from the
existing in the money warrants. The balance of $5.8 million is anticipated to be
raised by us from the sales of additional securities during the remainder of the
calendar year. To the extent that less warrants are exercised than anticipated,
we would have to sell additional securities. The funds required to be raised
through the sales of additional securities would be reduced by the cash, if any,
generated from our operations during the calendar year, and the continued
reductions, if any, in our operating costs associated with the Stitch business
operations. To the extent that we are unable to generate sufficient cash as
outlined above, we intend to pay our current operating expenses and will attempt
to continue to negotiate with our past due creditors.

COMMITMENTS
The Company leased its principal executive offices, consisting of
approximately 10,000 square feet, at 200 Plant Avenue, Wayne, Pennsylvania for a
monthly rental of $14,000 plus utilities and operating expenses. The lease
expired on June 30, 2002, and subsequently the Company had leased these
facilities on a month to month basis. The Company vacated this facility in July
2003. During July 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
office at $16,000 per month. With the acquisition of Stitch Networks, 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 is
consolidating facilities, and therefore has 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 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company
is attempting to secure a tenant to sublease the space for the duration of the
lease and is in default under the lease since August, 2002. Subsequent to June
30, 2002, the Company also signed a lease for 16.5 months for $4,000 per month
for additional space in Malvern, PA for business activities.
Other Events
During September 2002, the Company issued to an investor, Yomi Rodig,
2,000,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock at $.12 per share generating
gross proceeds of $240,000. This investor also received a warrant to purchase up
to 2,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at $.10 per share
at any time on or before November 30, 2002 (subsequently extended to May 31,
2003) and if all such warrants are exercised, the investor was granted another
warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $.10 per share
expiring May 31, 2003. These warrants have expired. We have agreed to register
for resale these shares for a period of one year from the date of this
prospectus.
Subsequent to June 30, 2002 and through October 31, 2002 the Company issued
$3.84 million of 2002-A Senior Notes. A total of $1,329,800 of these Senior
Notes were issued to certain officers, directors and consultants of the Company
in exchange for services to be performed. Of this amount, a total of $678,000
are reflected as prepaid services at March 31, 2003.
During October 2002, the Company issued to an investor, Alpha Capital
Aktiengesellschaft, 1,500,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock at $.10 per

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 has 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.
During October 2002, the Company issued to an investor, Kazi Management VI,
Inc., 3,571,429 shares of its restricted Common Stock at $.07 per share
generating net proceeds of $244,925. This investor also received a warrant to

$.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. None of these
warrants have been exercised as of December 31, 2002. We have agreed to register
for resale these shares as well as the shares underlying the warrants for a
period of five years.
During October 2002 the Company`s Board of Directors also approved that for
the quarterly interest payment made by the Company on the 12% Convertible Senior
Notes (for September 30, 2002, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 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. For each share
purchased, the note holder shall receive 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, 530,818 and
1,653,766 shares respectively, were issued for payment of the quarterly interest
payment and 530,818 and 1,653,766 warrants to purchase Common Stock were issued
to the note holders, respectively. The fair value of the warrants issued of
approximately $128,200 was determined using the Black Scholes Valuation Model.
During October 2002, the Company agreed to issue 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. At
March 31, 2003, $236,800 is reflected in prepaid services for the
services that have not been performed as of March 31, 2003.
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 April 30, 2003). Upon the exercise of this warrant by the
Senior note holder, the Company granted an identical number of warrants to that
31
note holder with an exercise price of $0.10 per share exercisable through April
30, 2003. Through March 31, 2003, the note holders exercised a total of
5,458,759 Common Stock warrants of the originally granted warrants of the
10,306,026 warrants initially granted, generating gross proceeds to the Company
of $545,876. An additional 5,458,759 warrants were granted upon the exercise of
the initial warrant to these note holders at March 31, 2003. Of these additional
March 2003 warrants, 793,893 were exercised as of March 31, 2003, generating
gross proceeds to the Company of $79,389. Subsequent to March 31, 2003 and
through June 30, 2003, 7,773,153 of the Common Stock warrants, were exercised at
$.10 per share by the 12% Senior Note Holders generating gross proceeds of
$777,315.
During August 2001, the Company issued to an investment company a 9.75%
$225,000 Convertible Debenture maturing August 2003. On June 18, 2002, the
Debenture was increased by $100,000, the maturity date extended to August 2004,
and the conversion rate was lowered. Interest is payable by the Company monthly
in arrears. The Debenture is convertible at the lower of $1.00 per share or 72%
of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the 20 days preceding
exercise. The investment company is limited to no more than 5% of the investment
that is convertible during any month, on a cumulative basis. 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, the investment company shall
have the right to withdraw its conversion notice. At the time of conversion of
the Debenture, the Company will issue to the investment company warrants to
purchase an amount of Common Stock equal to ten times the number of shares
actually issued upon conversion of the Debenture at the same conversion price as
the Debenture. The warrants are exercisable at any time for two years following
issuance and at the related conversion price of the Debenture. During the nine
months ended March 31, 2003, the investment company converted $51,000, of the
Debenture resulting in the issuance of 495,421 shares of Common Stock, and
exercised related warrants for 4,954,210 shares, resulting in gross proceeds of
$561,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2003. The investment company has
paid the Company $120,000 towards a future exercise of Common Stock warrants
which has been reflected in deposits at March 31, 2003.
In February 2003, Jubilee Investment Trust, PLC ("Jubilee"), a United
Kingdom investment trust, made an equity investment in USA Technologies at U.S.
$0.20 per share. Jubilee is a newly established investment trust set up to
invest in securities traded on a range of public markets, primarily in the
United Kingdom. USA Technologies issued to Jubilee 15,000,000 shares of Common
Stock of USA Technologies at a price per share of U.S.$0.20 with an aggregate
value of U.S.$3,000,000. In full payment for the shares of USA Technologies,
Jubilee issued to USA Technologies a U.S.$3,000,000 equivalent of their shares
(1,870,091 shares of Jubilee at a price per share valued at One British Pound
which was the initial public offering price per share for the Jubilee shares).
The exchange rate used by the parties for the transaction was One British Pound
equals U.S.$1.6042. The Company intends to attempt to sell the Jubilee shares
from time to time in order to generate cash. In addition, the Jubilee shares
would be available to pledge as collateral for a loan. We transferred 131,000 of
our Jubilee shares to our investment bankers, Technology Partners (Holdings)
LLC, in payment for services rendered in the Jubilee transaction.
The shares issued to Jubilee by USA Technologies are not registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Jubilee shares issued to USA
Technologies are admitted to listing on the London Stock Exchange under the
symbol JIT. At the present time, there is not an established trading market for
Jubilee shares. USA Technologies has 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 USA
Technologies` shares for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance
unless USA Technologies agrees otherwise. USA Technologies has agreed to use its
best efforts to file an appropriate Registration Statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission no later than June 30, 2003 registering all of the
shares issued to Jubilee for resale under the Act and to use its best efforts to
keep such registration statement effective for a period of three years.
In November 2002 and through August 7, 2003, the Company issued an
aggregate of 85,601,130 shares to accredited investors at $.10 per share for a
total of $8,560,113. Of the $8,560,113, $8,345,674 were for cash proceeds and
$214,439 were for services rendered or to be rendered. The offer and sale of the
shares was exempt from registration under Rule 506 promulgated under the Act. We
have agreed to register the shares under the Act for resale at our cost and
expense for a period of 1 year. In connection with this offering we paid
commissions of $64,000 to Sloan Securities, Inc., a broker-dealer.
In March 2003, we issued warrants to La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc. to
purchase up to 9,000,000 shares at $.10 per share. The warrants expire as
follows: 3,000,000 on the three month anniversary of the date of this
prospectus; 3,000,000 on the 6 month anniversary of the date of this prospectus;
and 3,000,000 on the 9 month anniversary of the date of this prospectus. The
warrants may not be exercised without our consent on any date on which the
closing price of our shares is less than $.40. We have agreed to register the
shares underlying the warrants for resale under the Act for a period of one
year. The warrants were offered and sold to La Jolla pursuant to the exemption
from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act. The shares underlying
these warrants are covered by this prospectus.
In April 2003, we issued 530,818 shares and warrants to purchase up to
530,818 shares to the holders of our senior notes who elected to receive these
securities in lieu of the cash interest payment due for the quarter ended March
31, 2003. The shares were purchased at the rate of $.20 per share and the
warrants are exercisable at $.20 per share at any time through June 30, 2004. We
have agreed to register the shares and the shares underlying the warrants under

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 is e-Port,
or 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 ExpressR. The e-Port or TransAct 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 currently targets 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. 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 network component provides the auditing and financial services, and
results in service and transaction revenues. The auditing feature would capture
supply chain data (units sold, what sold, price of units sold) and other machine
information, and send the information back to either a customer`s network or to
the USA network for reporting. The financial feature includes acting as a `super
merchant` for our customers - thereby helping them to avoid getting certified
with credit card processors to do unattended transactions; and providing
refunds, payments, and reporting of the credit card transactions. This component
generates monthly network service 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.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company had a total installed base of 1,309
control systems, primarily 727 Business Express control systems, 168 Business
Express Limited Service (LSS) control systems, and 229 standalone TransAct
control systems located at 394 hospitality locations throughout the United
States and Canada. In addition, there were 157 e-Port control systems located at
vending locations in the United States and 323 Kodak vending machines. At March
31, 2003, the Company had a total of 1,753 terminals shipped and installed at
various hotels, vending machines, amusement parks, retail locations and
business/industry locations throughout the United States and Canada.
Our cashless payment and control network operates as follows:
- - The consumer swipes a credit card through the e-Port or TransAct system.
- - 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.
For the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and for the nine months ended
March 31, 2003, the Company has expensed approximately $1,187,000, $1,260,000
and $1,274,000, 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, 2002 the Company had
capitalized approximately $5.3 million for the services of IBM, to program the
enhancements to the Company`s proprietary "USAlive" server network and to the
e-Port (TM) client. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the e-Port (TM)
product and related network became available for general release to the
Company`s customers. Management performed an evaluation of the commercial
success and preliminary market acceptance of the e-Port (TM) product and network
and, accordingly, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded
an impairment charge of approximately $2.7 million to reflect the software
development costs at its net realizable value. See Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
33
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 its 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.
34
PRODUCT LINES
THE E-PORT (TM) FOR VENDING
In general, our wireless 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 the LCD color touch
screen for displaying interactive advertising and content.
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 revenues from the
approximately 286 placements.
The e-Port (TM) 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,
capability for public access electronic commerce and advertising is possible.
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
With the acquisition of Stitch Networks, the Company has acquired
additional product line enhancements. One such enhancement is our university
laundry services which enable:
35
- 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.
MARKETING
As of March 31, 2003, the Company was marketing and selling its products
through its full time staff consisting of six people. The Company is primarily
focused on the vending, hospitality, office equipment and laundry industries.
In the vending industry, the e-Port (TM) is being purchased by soft drink
bottlers and independent vending operators throughout the USA and Canada. 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. The initial installations of e-Port (TM)s are already complete for a
number of bottlers. 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. As of the date of this prospectus, no revenues have been generated
from this contract.
36
The Company continues to work with the top vending machine manufacturers in
order to incorporate our e-Port (TM) technology into vending machines at the
factory (OEM); and with authorized resellers. 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 who also
have or are considering purchasing a USA business center. In laundry, American
Sales Inc. (ASI) 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 of this prospectus, no units have been purchased by ASI.
In October, 2002, the Company signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with
ZiLOG Corporation, a semiconductor company which is the largest 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 of this prospectus, no products have been available
for commercial use and accordingly, no revenues have been generated.
The Company`s e-Port (TM) can be manufactured for us by an independent
contract manufacturer, RadiSys. Product orders to RadiSys are governed by the
Design and Manufacturing Agreement signed in June, 2000. In March, 2001, a
manufacturing agreement between the Company and Masterwork Electronics was
signed, to provide the Company with additional manufacturing capability for
e-Port (TM).
The Company anticipates obtaining the other components of its business
center (computers, printers, fax and copy machines) through Decision One and
CDW. Orders are regularly placed for expected orders weeks in advance.
37
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 400 locations) are in approximately
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, are 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.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The Company received federal registration approval of its trademarks
Business Express , C3X, TransAct , and Public PC, and has applied for federal
registration of its trademarks Copy Express and e-Port (TM). Through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Stitch Networks, the Company has secured three trademarks:
eVend.Net, eSuds.Net and Stitch Networks.
Much of the technology developed or to be developed by the Company is
subject to trade secret protection. To reduce the risk of loss of trade secret
protection through disclosure, the Company has entered into confidentiality
agreements with its key employees. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in maintaining such trade secret protection, that they will
be recognized as trade secrets by a court of law, or that others will not
capitalize on certain of the Company`s technology.

The Company believes that the U.S. patent No. 6,505,095 entitled "System
for providing remote audit, cashless payment, and interactive transaction
capabilities in a vending machine" is very important in protecting its
intellectual property used in its e-Port control system targeted to the vending
industry. The patent expires in July 2021.
Employees
On March 31, 2003, we had 31 full-time employees.
Properties
We leased our principal executive offices, consisting of approximately
10,000 square feet, at 200 Plant Avenue, Wayne, Pennsylvania for a monthly
rental of $14,000 plus utilities and operating expenses. The lease expired on
June 30, 2002, and subsequently, the Company had leased these facilities on a
month-to-month basis. The Company vacated this facility in July 2003. During
July 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 office at
$16,000 per month. With the acquisition of Stitch Networks, 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 is consolidating
facilities, and therefore Stich has 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 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company is
attempting to secure a tenant to sublease the space for the duration of the
lease and Stitch is in default under the lease since August, 2002. During the
quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company also signed a lease for 16.5
months at $4,000 per month for additional space in Malvern, PA for business
activities.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
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 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
47
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
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.
48
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.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
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 $.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.
The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to register for resale all
of the Common Stock underlying the above options under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended ("Act"), at the Company`s cost and expense. All of the
foregoing options are non-qualified stock options and not part of a qualified
stock option plan and do not constitute incentive stock options as such term is
defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and are not
part of an employee stock purchase plan as described in Section 423 thereunder.
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 $.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 Director of the Company, is a Vice President of Maytag
Corporation. There were no purchases from Dixie for the period May 14, 2002 (the
date Stitch was acquired by the Company) to June 30, 2002. Amounts payable to
Dixie of $124,333 are included in accounts payable in the June 30, 2002
consolidated balance sheet of the Company.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, the Company
paid Lurio & Associates, P.C., of which Mr. Lurio is President and a
shareholder, professional fees of approximately $209,000 and $220,000
respectively, for legal services rendered to the Company by such law firm.
During the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company accrued approximately
$213,000 and $271,000, 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 will receive a $100,000 12% senior note due December 31,
2005, and 200,000 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Jensen earned $60,000 of the
senior note and 120,000 of these shares in November 2002 for services rendered
in the 2002 calendar year. The remaining $40,000 senior note and 60,000 shares
will be earned by Mr. Jensen on March 15, 2003 if he is then employed by the
Company on account of services rendered during the 2003 calendar year. All of
Mr. Herbert`s senior note and shares will be earned by him on March 15, 2003 if
he is then employed by the Company on account of services rendered during the
2003 calendar year. In October 2002, the Company approved the issuance of
$100,000 of the senior note offering to Adele Hepburn for services rendered
during the 2002 calendar year (subject to final Board of Director approval).
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 percentage of 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 reduced
from seven percent to four percent (i.e., 14,000,000 shares). In addition, the
number of shares issuable to Mr. Jensen by USA upon the occurrence of a USA
Transaction will become subject to dilution (i.e., be reduced proportionately to
reflect subsequent issuances by USA of its shares) effective July 10, 2003. USA
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, 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 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 $40,000 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.

750,000 shares at $.15 per share at any time for five years. Within seven days
following the effectiveness of the registration statement covering these shares,
the Company has agreed to Sell to the investor an additional 1,500,000 shares at
$.10 per share and grant Warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares at the then
closing price per share at any time for five years. We have agreed to register
these shares for resale under the Act at our cost and expense.
In October 2002, the Company granted to the holders of the 12% senior notes
warrants representing that number of shares equal to 75% of the dollar amount of
the notes held by such holder. The total number of warrants was 10,360,025 and
are exercisable at any time prior to November 30, 2002 (later extended to August
31, 2003). If the holder exercises all of such holder`s warrants, the holder
shall receive another identical Warrant exercisable at any time prior to August
31, 2003. We have agreed to register these shares for resale under the Act at
our cost and expense. Through March 31, 2003, the note holders exercised
5,458,759 Common Stock warrants. As a result, an additional 5,458,759 Common
Stock warrants were granted, of which 793,893 were exercised as of March 31,
2003.
In November 2002, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,480,000
shares to employees and consultants for services to be rendered. The shares were
valued at $.16 per share.
In November 2002 and through March 31, 2003, 14,124,110 shares of Common
Stock were sold at $.10 per share in the 2003-A offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
We are authorized to issue up to 400,000,000 shares of common stock, no par
value, and 1,800,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. As of the date
hereof, 900,000 preferred shares have been designated as series A convertible
preferred stock, no par value. As of March 31, 2003, there were 131,880,905
shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 527,832 shares of series A
preferred stock issued and outstanding which are convertible into 527,832 shares
of common stock. Through March 31, 2003, a total of 583,318 shares of preferred
stock have been converted into 659,762 shares of common stock and $2,636,324 of
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon have been converted into 283,809 shares of
common stock.
La Jolla Debenture and Warrants
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
76
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 by 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 $2,100 in connection with this warrant. During the quarter ended
December 31, 2001, La Jolla exercised all of these warrants for a cash payment
of approximately $.29 per share.
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 March 31, 2003, La Jolla
converted $133,000 of 9 3/4 percent Convertible Debentures, for which the
Company issued 829,099 shares of stock, and exercised 8,290,990 warrants to
purchase Common Stock at an average price of $.16 per share.
In March 2003, we issued to La Jolla a warrant to purchase up to
9,000,000 of our shares at $.10 per share. Of such warrants, 3,000,000 expire
three months after the date hereof, 3,000,000 expire six months after the date
hereof, and the remaining 3,000,000 expire nine months after the date of this
prospectus. We have agreed to register all of the shares underlying these
warrants for resale by La Jolla for a one year period. The shares underlying
these warrants are covered by this prospectus.
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.
77
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 March 31, 2003 the
accumulated and unpaid dividends were $5,953,187.
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 March 31, 2003 a total of 583,318 shares of
series A Preferred Stock have been converted into common stock and accrued and
unpaid dividends thereon have been converted into 283,807 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 March 31, 2003, we had outstanding $2,094,000 of Senior Notes due
December 31, 2007, $1,352,000 of Senior Notes due December 31, 2006, $3,891,150
of Senior Notes due December 31, 2005, $2,548,502 of Senior Notes due December
31, 2004, and $3,682,000 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.
78
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 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 was reduced to $.50 per share and for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002 to $.40 per share and for the quarters ended September 30,
2002, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 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 register these shares as well as the
shares underlying the warrants for resale under the Act. 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 August 31, 2003).
As of July 15, 2003, a total of $3,470,500 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.
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 September 30,
2002, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 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. 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 August 31, 2003). As of July 15, 2003, a total of
$3,328,392 of these notes have been extended to December 31, 2007. 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.
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 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 and March
31, 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.
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.
79
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.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
o Each 2001-B warrant entitles its holder to immediately purchase one
share for $.50 subject to reduction at any time. One-half of each
holder`s warrants were exercisable at any time prior to December 31,
2001 and the balance at any time prior to June 30, 2002 (or such later

of 3,676,829 of these warrants was extended to December 2002 (later
extended until August 31, 2003), and the exercise price of these
warrants reduced to $.10. As of March 31, 2003, 900,930 of these
warrants are outstanding. These warrants were acquired from us by the
selling shareholders in 2001 pursuant to a private placement offering.
We have agreed to register these shares under the Act for resale.

share for $.50 subject to reduction at any time. Each warrant expires
on April 30, 2002. In June 2002, the termination date of 294,334 of
these warrants was extended to December 2002 (later extended until
August 31, 2003), and the exercise price of these warrants reduced to
$.10. As of March 31, 2003, 68,567 of these warrants are outstanding.
These warrants were acquired from us by the selling shareholders in
2001 pursuant to a private placement offering. We have agreed to
register these shares under the Act for resale.
o Each 1998-B warrant entitles its holder to immediately purchase one
share of common stock. The exercise price is $4.00 per share, subject
to reduction at any time by USA. The 1998-B warrants are exercisable
at any time prior to August 17, 2003, or such later date as may be
determined by USA. These warrants were acquired from us by the selling
shareholders in 1998 pursuant to a private placement offering. We have
agreed to register the shares underlying the warrants for resale under
the Act until August 2005.
The warrants have been issued pursuant to warrant agreements by and between
USA and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the warrant agent.
We have registered for resale the common stock underlying the above
warrants under the Act.
80
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 131,880,995 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on March
31, 2003, 115,053,109 are freely transferable without registration under the Act
(other than shares held by "affiliates" of USA). As of the date hereof, there
were 527,832 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 527,832 shares of common stock all of which would be fully
transferrable 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.
81
Limitation of Liability; Indemnification
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.
82
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.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the common stock has been passed upon for us by Lurio &
Associates, P.C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of USA Technologies, Inc. at June 30,

Report of Independent Auditors
USA Technologies, Inc.
Board of Directors and Shareholders
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of USA
Technologies, Inc. as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders` equity (deficit), and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2002. 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, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2002,
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 never been profitable, continues to
incur losses from operations, has continued to require forebearance agreements
on debt obligations, and anticipates that it will require additional debt or
equity financing which may not be readily available. These matters 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.

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

The Company offers the Business Express and Business Express Limited Service
(LSS) principally to the hospitality industry. The Business Express and Business
Express 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), 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.
The Company`s wholly owned subsidiary, Stitch Networks Corporation (Stitch)
designs and employs embedded connectivity solutions that enable network servers
to monitor and control vending machines and appliances over the internet (Note
3). On December 31, 2000, Stitch executed a Vending Placement, Supply and
Distribution Agreement (the 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 initial phase of the Agreement ends December 31, 2003, with
provisions for extensions. 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.

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, principally software development costs, goodwill and other
intangibles, that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in
existence. The Company has never been profitable, has incurred losses of $17.3
million and $11.0 million during each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively, and losses of $12.5 million (unaudited) during the nine
months ended March 31,2003. Cumulative losses from its inception through June
30, 2002 amount to approximately $53.3 million and cumulative losses through
March 31, 2003 amounted to approximately $65.8 million (unaudited). Losses are
expected to continue throughout fiscal year 2003. Additionally, the Company has
continued to require forbearance agreements on debt obligations (Note 8) and is
in the process of renegotiating the terms of the debt. The Company`s ability to
meet its future obligations is dependent upon the success of its products in the
marketplace and its ability to raise capital, which may not be readily
available, until the Company`s products can generate sufficient operating
revenues. These factors raise doubt about the Company`s ability to continue as a
going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken will allow
for the Company to continue as a going concern. Such actions include the
generation of revenues from operations, additional private placement offerings,
the exercise of Common Stock purchase warrants and options, and continued
efforts to reduce costs.
Interim Financial Information
The consolidated financial statements and disclosures included herein for the
nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. These financial
statements and disclosures have been prepared by the Company in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States 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 nine month
period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.
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.

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. The straight-line method of
depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets
acquired from Stitch. Intangible assets include patents and trademarks acquired
in the Stitch acquisition. The aggregate amortization expense was $36,500 during
the year ended June 30, 2002 and $219,000 (unaudited) during the nine month
period ended March 31, 2003. The intangible asset balance and related
accumulated amortization consists of the following:
Gross Accumulated Amortization
Carrying June 30 March 31,
Amount 2002 2003
(Unaudited)
----------------------------------------
Amortized intangible assets
Trademark $1,050,000 $(13,125) $ (91,875)
Patents 1,870,000 (23,375) (163,625)
----------------------------------------
Total $2,920,000 $(36,500) $(255,500)
========================================
At June 30, 2002, the expected amortization of the intangible assets is as
follows: $292,000 per year in fiscal year 2003 through fiscal year 2011, and
$255,500 in fiscal year 2012. At June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2003, the weighted
average amortization period is 9.875 and 9.125 years, respectively.
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 does not require collateral or
other security to support credit sales, but provides an allowance for bad debts
based on historical experience and specifically identified risks. Approximately
41% and 12% respectively of the Company`s accounts receivable and revenues for
the year ended June 30, 2002 is concentrated with one customer. Approximately
12% and 22% (Unaudited) respectively, of the Company`s accounts receiveable and
revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, are concentrated with one
customer.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
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 the Company`s vending
machines upon purchase and acceptance by the vending customer.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes software development costs pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 ("SFAS 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. During May
2000, the Company reached technological feasibility for the development of the
e-Port product and related network and, accordingly, the Company commenced
capitalization of software development costs related to this product. Costs
capitalized were approximately $2,239,000 and $2,938,000 during the years ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which includes capitalized interest of
approximately $493,000 and $230,800, respectively pursuant to SFAS No. 34,
"Capitalization of Interest Costs". Amortization of software development costs
will commence when the product becomes available for general release to
customers. Amortization of software development costs will be 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 me thod over the remaining estimated
economic life of the product. Amortization of such costs commences when the
product becomes available for general release to its customers. 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 the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the e-Port product and related network
became available for general release to the Company`s customers. During the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, Management performed an evaluation of the
commercial success and preliminary market acceptance of the e-Port product and
related network and as a result of this evaluation the Company determined that
the estimated future revenues less costs to complete and dispose the enhanced
e-Port client product was zero. Therefore, the Company wrote down $2,663,000 of
software development costs related to the e-Port client product and the related
network. The unamortized balance after the impairment charge of the related
network is being

Software Development Costs (continued)
amortized over an estimated useful life of two years. Amortization expense for
the nine months ended March 31, 2003 was $873,828 (unaudited). Amortization
expense during the year ended June 30, 2002, including the above impairment
adjustment of $2,663,000, was $2,996,000. Such amortization is reflected in cost
of sales in the accompanying statements of operations.
Advertising Expense
Advertising expenses for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
approximately $429,000 and $88,000, respectively. Advertising expenses for the
nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $37,000 (unaudited)
and $110,000 (unaudited), respectively.
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 expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, were
$1,187,000 and $1,260,000 for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively and $1,274,000 (unaudited) and $593,000_(unaudited) for the nine
months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Accounting for Stock Options
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, provides companies with a choice to follow the
provisions of SFAS 123 in determination of stock-based compensation expense or
to continue with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
("APB 25"). 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 123 to the
Company`s stock-based awards results in net loss and net loss per common share
that are disclosed on a pro forma basis in Note 13.
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,

Loss Per Common Share (continued)
cumulative preferred dividends or Senior Notes was assumed during fiscal 2002 or
2001 because the assumed exercise of these securities would be antidilutive.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
During fiscal year 1999, the Company issued $4,618,000 (as adjusted) of $10,000
principal amount of Senior Notes. The Notes included detachable equity
instruments (see Note 10). During October 1999, the Company added a conversion
feature to the Senior Notes whereby the Senior Notes were immediately
convertible into Common Stock at $2.50 per share at the option of the holder. At
the time of the addition of the conversion feature, the Company determined that,
based on the fair value of the Company`s Common Stock and specified conversion
prices, and, in accordance with the then applicable accounting pronouncements,
these Senior Notes did not contain an embedded conversion feature. In November
2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) reached a consensus on Issue 00-27, Application of EITF
Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion
Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios to Certain Convertible
Instruments, whereby it was concluded that an issuer should calculate the
intrinsic value of a conversion option using the effective conversion price,
based on the proceeds received allocated to the convertible instrument instead
of the specified conversion prices in the instrument. Issue 00-27 requires
companies to apply the proscribed methodology for computing the beneficial
conversion feature of convertible securities through a cumulative catch-up
accounting change (in the quarter that includes November 2000) for any such
security issued after May 20, 1999, the effective date of EITF 98-5.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a one-time, noncash charge during fiscal year
2001 of $821,000 to record the cumulative effect of an accounting change as
required by the EITF.
Reclassification
During April 2001, the Company granted 6,000,000 fully vested options to a
distributor who was expected to market and distribute the Company`s e-Port (TM)
product in connection with the signing of a five-year distribution agreement.
The $420,000 estimated fair value of the options was amortized as a reduction of
selling, general, and administrative expenses over the term of the distribution
agreement rather than as a reduction of revenues as there were no revenues
generated as a result of this agreement. During the third quarter of fiscal year
2002 and pursuant to EITF 00-18 "Accounting Recognition for

Reclassification (continued)
Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than
Employees", the Company presented the unamortized balance in other assets, and
reclassified the June 30, 2001 balance from a contra-equity account to other
assets for consistent presentation. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2002, the Company determined that this agreement was not expected to generate
any revenues and that there was no future value to this distribution agreement.
Accordingly, the Company wrote off the remaining unamortized balance of $315,000
to selling, general and administrative expense.
Certain amounts in the June 30, 2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the March 31, 2003 and 2002 unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
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, Debentures, 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
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, the Company
reviews its property and equipment and unamortized intangible assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
assets may not be recoverable. The Company estimates the future cash flows
expected to result from operations and if the sum of the expected undiscounted
future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset, the
Company recognizes an impairment loss by reducing the unamortized cost of the
long-lived asset to its estimated fair value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.
141, "Business Combinations", and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Statement No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 141 also
includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and
other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed after June
30, 2001. Statement No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite
F-13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
useful lives. Statement No. 142 requires that these assets be reviewed for
impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue
to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. As Statement No. 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, the Company will
adopt the Statement on July 1, 2002. Although the Company did not adopt
Statement No. 142 until fiscal year 2003, the nonamortization provisions of
Statement No. 142 for combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 are applicable
for the Company effective July 1, 2001.
Under Statement No. 142 the Company will test goodwill for impairment during
fiscal year 2003 using the transitional two-step process prescribed in Statement
No. 142. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second
step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. The Company expects to
perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite
lived intangible assets as of July 1, 2002 in the second quarter of fiscal year
2003. If the first test indicates a potential impairment, the second phase will
be completed to calculate any actual impairment. Any impairment charge resulting
from these transitional impairment tests will be reflected as the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of fiscal year
2003. The Company has completed the transitional test of goodwill as of July 1,
2002, as prescribed in Statement No. 142, during the quarter ended December 31,
2002 using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has concluded that there
were no goodwill impairment indicators to be recorded as a result of this
transitional test.
The FASB recently issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, that is applicable to financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB`s new rules on
asset impairment supersede FASB Statement 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and portions of
APB Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations. This Standard provides a
single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and
significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an
asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important
distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at the lower of
fair value and carrying amount. This Standard also requires expected future
operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period in
which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as
presently required. The provisions of this Standard will be adopted by the
Company on July 1, 2002 and are not expected to have a significant effect on the
Company`s financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 62, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
SFAS No. 145 requires gains and losses on extinguishments of debt to be
classified as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as
extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS No. 4. Extraordinary
treatment will be required for certain extinguishments as provided in Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations
- -Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS
No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Upon
adoption of SFAS No. 145, any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt previously
classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods that does not meet the
criteria of APB Opinion No. 30 for such classification should be reclassified to
conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 145. Accordingly, the $863,000
extraordinary loss on the 2001 exchange of debt (Note 10), has been reclassified
as a loss from continuing operations during fiscal year 2001 in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

3. 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. The
Company acquired Stitch to strengthen its position as a 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 complemented the revenue and transaction processing revenue Company`s
existing products. Additionally 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.
At the close of the transaction on May 14, 2002, Stitch became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. 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 Common Stock of the Company in exchange for the outstanding shares of
Stitch and the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 7,587,447 shares of Common
Stock of the Company 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 acquisition related expenses
which included the issuance of 875,000 shares of Common Stock to an investment
banking firm. None of the warrants issued in connection with the acquisition
were exercised as of June 30, 2002. A total of 4,800,000 shares of the Common
Stock issued to the former stockholders of Stitch are being 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). In connection with the acquisition, the
Company`s shareholders voted in May of 2002 to increase the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock to 150,000,000.
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 has been estimated at this time.

8. Long-Term Debt (continued)
In connection with the Stitch acquisition (Note 3), 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. All but $225,000 of these working capital loans bear
interest at a variable rate based on the bank`s prime rate. These loans are
secured by certain assets of Stitch. At June 30, 2002, $275,000 of working
capital loans are outstanding of which $225,000, which bears interest at 6.75%,
was payable on July 8, 2002 and $50,000 was payable on demand. On July 26, 2002,
August 29, 2002, September 27, 2002, October 31, 2002, February 3, 2003 and
February 19, 2003, the bank agreed to extend the due date of these notes until
September 1, 2002, October 1, 2002, November 1, 2002, December 1, 2002, March 1,
2003 and March 17, 2003, respectively under several forebearance agreements. In
connection with these extensions, the Company paid $3,000 of fees to the bank.
Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the Company paid $108,235 to the bank, reducing the
outstanding balance to $166,765 (unaudited) at March 31, 2003. The Company is
currently in default under the loan agreement.
The Company also had an inventory financing arrangement whereby IBM Credit
Corporation originally granted the Company a $1.5 million equipment line of
credit. This arrangement expired in fiscal year 2002. The outstanding balance at
June 30, 2002 and 2001, of $19,632 and $45,785, respectively, is secured by the
underlying inventory. Interest accrues on the outstanding balance at 10% per
annum, subject to adjustment if the outstanding balance is outstanding greater
than 180 days.
9. Income Taxes
At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $54,769,000 and $31,234,000, respectively, to offset future
taxable income expiring through approximately 2022. At June 30, 2002 and 2001,
the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of approximately $20,546,000 and
$12,418,500, respectively, which was principally 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
F-20
USA Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2002
9. Income Taxes (continued)
$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 and such limited amounts are reflected below.
The deferred tax assets arose primarily from the use of different accounting
methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 19,837,000 $ 13,237,000

Deferred tax asset, net $ - $ -
===========================
Amounts assigned to intangibles acquired in the Stitch acquisition exceeded the
tax basis. Such excess will increase taxable income as the Intangibles
(excluding goodwill) 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.
10. Senior Notes and Debentures
During June 2002, the Company commenced a $2,500,000 2002-A private placement
offering (subsequently increased to $4,300,000 in October 2002) consisting of
12% Convertible Senior Notes due December 31, 2005. Each $10,000 Note is
convertible into Common Stock at $.20 per share at any time through December 31,
2005 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
Restricted Common Stock. The estimated fair value of the Common Stock warrants
of $121,225 (using the Black-Scholes method) and the intrinsic value of the
beneficial conversion feature of $211,152 have been allocated to equity. This
resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense through December
31, 2005. Through June 30, 2002, the Company sold 44.4 units, generating
proceeds of $444,083, of which $35,000 is reflected as subscriptions receivable
at June 30, 2002. Such amounts were collected subsequent to June

30, 2002. The offering was scheduled to terminate June 30, 2002 with extension
possible for up to an additional 60 days. The offering was extended to October
31, 2002 (Note 16).
During fiscal year 2002, the Company commenced a $2,500,000 2001-D private
placement offering (later increased to $6,500,000), consisting of 12%
Convertible Senior Notes due December 31, 2004. Each $10,000 Note is convertible
into Common Stock at $.40 per share, and interest is payable quarterly. Certain
stockholders of the Company, who received warrants to purchase Common Stock of
the Company as a part of earlier private placements, were offered the
opportunity to cancel a portion of such warrants and to receive an equivalent
number of new warrants at $.10 expiring on December 31,2002 if they invested in
the 2001-D offering. The original warrants were scheduled to expire December 31,
2001 or March 31, 2002 (according to their original terms) at $.50.The estimated
fair value of the new Common Stock warrants of $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 through December 31, 2004. The debt discount is
being amortized to interest expense through December 31, 2004. Through June 30,
2002, the Company issued 481.4 units, generating net cash proceeds of
$3,906,740. An additional $907,853 of notes were issued to consultants for
services rendered. The 2001-D offering was extended by the Company to close on
October 31, 2002 (Note 16).
During August 2001, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement with an
investment company for the purchase of $225,000 of a 9.75% Convertible Debenture
(the "Debenture") due August 2003. Interest on the Debenture is payable monthly
in arrears. On June 18, 2002, the investment company increased the Debenture by
$100,000, extended the maturity date of the $325,000 to August 2004 and lowered
the conversion rate. The investment company also paid the Company $300,000
towards a future exercise of Common Stock warrants. Of this amount $20,000 was
used during June 2002 to exercise Common Stock warrants. The remaining balance
of $280,000 is reflected in deposits at June 30, 2002, ($120,000 (unaudited) at
March 31, 2003).
The Debenture is 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 reserves 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 will issue
to the holder warrants to purchase an amount

10. Senior Notes and Debentures (continued)
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 (as calculated using the Black Scholes
method), the entire $325,000 of proceeds has been allocated to the warrants, and
is included in equity. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense
over the term of the Debenture. During fiscal year 2002, the investment company
converted $82,000 of the Debenture, resulting in the issuance of 333,678 shares
of Common Stock. The investment company also exercised warrants resulting in the
issuance of 3,336,780 shares of Common Stock and generating net cash proceeds of
$886,250.
During fiscal year 1999, the Company`s Board of Directors authorized a private
placement offering (the "1999 Senior Note Offering"). Each unit, as amended,
consisted of a 12% Senior Note in the principal amount of $10,000, maturing on
December 31, 2001, 2,000 1999-A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (each warrant
entitled the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $1.00 through
December 31, 2001) and 1,000 shares of Series B Equity Participating Preferred
Stock (Series B). A total of 461.8 units (as adjusted) were sold in this
Offering. The Series B was converted into 1,847,200 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the Company`s fiscal year 1999 reverse stock split. During
October 1999, a conversion feature was added to the Senior Notes whereby the
Notes were convertible into Common Stock at the rate of $2.50 per share any time
through the Senior Notes maturity of December 31, 2001. There was no
beneficial coversion feature required for this offering.
During fiscal year 2001, the Company authorized a private placement offering
("2000 Senior Note Offering") of 670 units at a unit price of $10,000. Each unit
consisted of a 12% Convertible Senior Note in the principal amount of $10,000,
maturing December 31, 2003 and 2,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock. Each
2000 Senior Note is convertible into Common Stock at $1.25 per share anytime
through its maturity. This offering provided for the holders of the 1999 Senior
Notes to exchange their 1999 Senior Notes into 2000 Senior Notes. All payments
of interest on the 2000 Notes can be used by the holder, at the holder`s option,
to purchase shares of Common Stock at specific prices established by the Board
of Directors.
During fiscal year 2001 the Company issued 1,136,300 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the 2000 Senior Notes. 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. The resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense
through December 31, 2003. Through June 30, 2002, $647,500 of such Notes were
converted into 518,000 shares of Common Stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2002,
there have been no further conversions.

The Company sold 568.15 units in the 2000 Senior Note Offering of which 382.3
units ($3,823,000) of the 1999 Senior Notes were exchanged for 2000 Senior
Notes, 124.85 units were purchased with cash, resulting in gross proceeds of
$1,248,500 and 61 units were issued in exchange for services provided by
consultants in the amount of $610,000. The exchange of the 1999 Senior Notes to
the 2000 Senior Notes was determined to be a substantial modification of the
terms of the original debt instrument and, accordingly, the Company wrote-off
the unamortized debt discount and other issuance costs associated with the
exchange of the 1999 Senior Notes in the amount of $863,000.
During the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company issued 674,431 and

During fiscal year 2000, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with
Swartz Private Equity LLC, for an equity line up to $20 million over a period
not to exceed three years. Investments are determined monthly based on the
current market prices of the Company`s Common Stock in accordance with the terms
of the Agreement. The purchase price per share would equal 91% of the market
price of the Common Stock at the time of purchase, and additional warrants at
the same price would be granted in an amount equal to 10% of the number of
shares actually purchased. Swartz received 1,200,000 Commitment Warrants with 10
year terms at an initial exercise price of $1.00, adjusted to lower market
pricing if applicable, and will be granted additional Commitment Warrants at the
same price and term, if required, to keep the number of Commitment Warrants
equal to 5% (decreasing over a five year period to 0%) of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. An additional 380,828 warrants
were granted during fiscal 2001 in connection with this antidilution provision.

12. Common Stock Transactions (continued)
During the year ended June 30, 2001, Swartz purchased 29,010 shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement. There were no net proceeds to the
Company from the sale of these shares after deducting the related cash offering
expenses previously incurred. No purchases were made during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2002. The agreement was terminated during April 2002.
During fiscal year 2000, the Company`s Board of Directors awarded 120,000 shares
of the Company`s Common Stock, at $2.00 per share, to certain executive
officers. Pursuant to their employment agreements, these officers would be
issued the Common Stock if employed by the Company on June 30, 2002. The Company
recorded deferred compensation of $240,000 in connection with these awards.
Compensation expense of $103,000 has been recorded to reflect the amortization
of the shares earned during each of the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. All officers were employed by the Company as of June 30, 2002.
During October 1999, the Company`s Board of Directors authorized a private
placement offering (the "1999-B" offering) to accredited investors of 150 units
(later increased to 356 units by the Board of Directors) at a unit price of
$10,000. Each unit of the $3,560,000 Offering consists of 10,000 shares of
restricted Common Stock at $1.00 per share, and 10,000 1999-B Common Stock
purchase warrants. During fiscal year 2000 all 356 units were sold, resulting in
net proceeds of $3,463,942 ($3,560,000 less offering costs of $96,058) to the
Company. Each 1999-B Common Stock purchase warrant entitled the holder to
purchase one share of restricted Common Stock for $2.00 at any time through
March 31, 2000. The 1999-B Common Stock purchase warrants were modified several
times between January 2000 and August 2000 reducing their exercise price to
$1.00 per share and extending the expiration date of the warrants to December
31, 2000. Additionally, those 1999-B Common Stock purchase warrant holders who
exercised their purchase warrants on or before December 31, 2000 were granted a
further extension of the warrants` expiration date to March 31, 2001. As a
result of these reductions in the exercise price, the Company`s Board of
Directors authorized the refunding of the $1 reduction per warrant to those
investors who exercised their warrants prior to the exercise price reduction.

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 years 2002 and 2001: an expected life of
2 years; no expected cash dividend payments on Common Stock, respectively; and
for fiscal 2002 a risk-free interest rate of 4.5% to 5.5% and for fiscal 2001,
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, and
1.100 for fiscal 2001.
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.

16. Subsequent Events (Unaudited)
During September 2002, the Company issued to an unrelated third party investor
2,000,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock at $.12 per share generating
gross proceeds of $240,000. This investor also received a warrant to purchase up
to 2,000,000shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company at $.10 per share
at any time on or before November 30, 2002 (subsequently extended to April 30,
2003) and if all such warrants are exercised, the investor was granted another
warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $.10 per share
expiring April 30, 2003. To date, none of these warrants have been exercised.
Subsequent to June 30, 2002 and through October 31, 2002 the Company issued
approximately $3.84 million of 2002- A Convertible Senior Notes. The estimated
fair value of the shares issued in connection with these Senior Notes during the
six months ended December 31, 2002 of $ 1,628,837 and the intrinsic value of the
beneficial conversion feature of $ 1,324,810 have been allocated to equity. This
resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense through December
31, 2005. A total of $1,329,800 of these Senior Notes are to to certain
officers, directors and consultants of the Company in exchange for services
performed or to be performed. A total of $647,675 of these notes are reflected
as prepaid professional fees at March 31, 2003.
During October 2002, the Company issued to an unrelated third party investor
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 for a five year period from the issuance date. Within seven
business days of the effectiveness of a registration statement to register the
1,500,000 shares, the investor has 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 $.15 per share.
During October 2002, the Company issued to an unrelated third party investor

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. None of these warrants have been
exercised as of March 31, 2003.
During October 2002 the Company`s Board of Directors also approved that for the
quarterly interest payment made by the Company on the 12% Convertible Senior
Notes (for September 30, 2002, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 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. For each share
purchased, the note holder shall also receive 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, 530,818
and 1,653,776 shares respectively, were issued for payment of the quarterly
interest payment and identical numbers, respectively of warrants to purchase
Common Stock were issued to the note holders, respectively. The fair value of
the warrants issued of approximately $128,200 was determined using a Black
Scholes Valuation Model and has been recorded as interest expense.
During October 2002, the Company`s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of
1,480,000 shares of its Common Stock to certain of its employees and consultants
at the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. Such shares were
issued for services to be performed in subsequent periods. At March 31, 2003,
$236,800 is reflected in prepaid professional fees for the services that have
not been performed as of March 31, 2003.
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 May 31, 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 May 31,
2003. Through March 31, 2003, the note holders exercised a total of 5,458,759
Common Stock warrants of the originally granted warrants of the 10,306,026
warrants initially granted, generating gross proceeds to the Company of
$545,876. An additional 5,458,759 warrants were granted upon the exercise of the
initial warrant to these note holders at March 31, 2003. Of these additional
warrants, 793,893 were exercised as of March 31, 2003, generating gross proceeds
to the Company of $79,389. Subsequent to March 31,
F-33

warrants expiring on August 31, 2003 and March 31, 2003, were exercised at $.10
per share by the 12% Senior Note Holders generating gross proceeds of $777,315.
On October 28, 2002 at a special meeting of shareholders, the Company`s
shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the
Company`s Common Stock from 150,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares and

members.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the holder of the Convertible
debenture (Note 10) converted $51,000 of the Debenture resulting in the issuance
of 495,422 shares of Common Stock, and exercised related warrants for 4,954,210
shares, resulting in gross proceeds of $510,000 during the nine months ended
March 31, 2003. The holder has paid the Company $120,000 towards a future
exercise of Common Stock warrants which has been reflected in deposits at March
31, 2003.
On February 14, 2003 at the Annual Shareholders Meeting, the Company`s
shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the
Company`s Common Stock from 200,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares.
In February 2003, Jubilee Investment Trust, PLC ("Jubilee"), a United Kingdom
investment trust whose shares trade on the London Stock Exchange, made to make
an equity investment in USA Technologies at U.S. $0.20 per share. Jubilee is a
newly established investment trust set up to invest in securities traded on a
range of public markets, primarily in the United Kingdom. USA Technologies
issued to Jubilee 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock of USA Technologies at a
price per share of U.S.$0.20 with an aggregate value of U.S.$3,000,000. In full
payment for the shares of USA Technologies, Jubilee issued to USA Technologies a
U.S.$3,000,000 equivalent of their shares (1,870,091 shares of Jubilee at a
price per share valued at One British Pound which was the initial public
offering price per share for the Jubilee shares). The exchange rate used by the
parties for the transaction was One British Pound equals U.S.$1.6042. The
Company intends to attempt to sell the Jubilee shares from time to time in order
to generate cash. In addition, the Jubilee shares would be available to pledge
as collateral for a loan.
The shares issued to Jubilee by USA Technologies are not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Jubilee shares issued to USA
Technologies are admitted to listing on the London Stock Exchange under the
symbol JIT. USA Technologies has 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 USA
Technologies` shares for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance
unless USA Technologies agrees otherwise. USA Technologies has agreed to use its
best efforts to file an appropriate Registration Statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission no later than June 30, 2003 registering all of the
shares issued to Jubilee for resale under the Act and to use its best efforts to
keep such registration statement effective for a period of three years.
In March 2003, the Company granted to the holders of the Senior Notes due in
December 2003 (2000 Senior Notes) and due in December 2004 (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
rate on these Senior Notes from $1.25 per share (2000 Senior Notes) and $0.40
per share (2001 Senior Notes) respectively to $0.20 per share. Through March 31,
2003, $1,352,000 of the 2000 Senior Notes and $2,094,000 of the 2001 Senior
Notes have been extended through December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2003 and through the date of this
Prospectus, an additional $ 1,983,500 of the 2000 and $1,269,397 of the 2001
Senior Notes have been extended through December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. Accordingly, for all Senior Note holders who have agreed to the
modification, such amounts have been reflected as long-term in the accompanying
March 31, 2003 consolidated balance sheet.
The modification of the 2000 and 2001 Senior Notes was deemed a substantial
modification of the terms of the Senior Notes and, accordingly, the Company
expensed $959,352 of unamortized debt discount and other issuance costs
remaining on the modified Senior Notes as of March 31, 2003. Such amount has
been reported as a loss from operations during the three and nine months periods
ended March 31, 2003.

During December 2002, the Company authorized a Private Placement Offering
("2003-A") to sell up to 15,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted Common
Stock at $.10 per share for a total offering of $1,500,000. Through March 31,
2003, 14,124,110 shares of Common Stock were issued for cash from this offering
generating gross proceeds of $1,412,411. During May 2003 and July 2003,
respectively, the Company's Board of Directors amended the offering to sell up
to 70,000,000 shares and 80,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted Common
Stock at $0.10 per share through May 31, 2003 and July 31, 2003, respectively.
Subsequent to March 31, 2003 and through the date of this Prospectus the Company

cashs proceeds of $6,933,263 and additional $214,439 for services rendered or to
be rendered.
In March 2003, the Company issued warrants to La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.

registration statement registering the shares; 3,000,000 on the 6 month
anniversary of such effective date; and 3,000,000 on the 9 month anniversary of
such effective date. The warrants may not be exercised without USA`s consent on
any date on which the closing price of our shares is less than $.40. The Company
has agreed to register the shares underlying the warrants for resale under the
Act for a period of one year. The warrants were offered and sold to La Jolla
pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the
Act.
In April 2003, the Company issued 530,818 shares and warrants to purchase up to
530,818 shares to the holders of the senior notes who elected to receive these
securities in lieu of the cash interest payment due for the quarter ended March
31, 2003. The shares were purchased at the rate of $.20 per share and the
warrants are exercisable at $.20 per share at any time through June 30, 2004.
USA has agreed to register the shares and the shares underlying the warrants
under the Act for resale for a period of 2 years. The securities were offered
and sold under the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 506 promulgated
under the Act. All of the noteholders are accredited investors and there was no
general solicitation or advertising.
The Company also issued shares and Common Stock Warrants in connection with two
additional private placement offerings subsequent to March 31, 2003. The Company
issued 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock to an investor at $.10 per share
generating gross proceeds of $100,000, as well as warrants to purchase up to
4,000,000 shares of restricted stock at $.10 per share through June 30, 2003 to
the same investor. The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of restricted stock to
another investor at $.10 per share generating gross proceeds of $250,000.
In April and May 2003, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of $419,900
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 in calendar year 2002.
In May 2003, the Company notified the former stockholders of Stitch that they
had among other things breached a representation and warranty in the Agreement
and Plan of Merger. As a result thereof, the Company has asserted that all of
the 4,800,000 shares of the Company's common shares held in escrow, as well as
all of the remaining 17,962,341 common shares of the Company issued to the
former stockholders as part of the transaction should be cancelled.
On June 30, 2003, at a special meeting of shareholders, the Company's
shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the
Company's common stock from 300,000,000 shares to 400,000,000 shares.
During April 2003, the Company agreed to issue to an unrelated third party, an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares at $.10 per share and agreed to issue to the
investor warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares at $.10 per share at any
time through August 31, 2003.
During May 2003, the Company issued to Providence Investment Management, an
accredited investor and unrelated third party, an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares
at $.10 per share.
During July 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,500,000 shares to George
R. Jensen, Jr., the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as part of
the amendment to his employment agreement. Mr. Jensen also has entered 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 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 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.
In July 2003, the Company issued 191,250 shares and warrants to purchase up to
191,250 shares to the holders of its Senior Notes who elected to receive these
securities in lieu of the cash interest payment due for the quarter ended June
30, 2003. The shares were purchased at the rate of $.20 per share and the
warrants are exercisable at $.20 per share at any time through June 30, 2004.
On July 11, 2003 the Company entered a definitive agreement to acquire certain
operating assets of Bayview Technology Group, LLC. Under the terms of the asset
purchase agreement the Company shall issue to Bayview 20,000,000 shares of it
restricted common stock and cash of $631,000 to settle an obligation of Bayview.
The agreement also provides for the Company to assume certain obligations under
a royalty arrangement. The Company has also agreed to issue 170,000 share of its
restricted common stock at the closing of this transaction to a consultant who
provided certain services to the Company in connection with this acquisition.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
Stitch Networks Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Stitch Networks Corporation
(formerly e-Vend.net Corporation) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders` equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended. 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 financial position of Stitch Networks Corporation at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming Stitch
Networks Corporation will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to
the financial statements, the Company has never been profitable, continues to
incur losses from operations, and anticipates that it will require additional
debt or equity financing which may not be readily available. These matters 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.

Stitch Networks Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001 and 2000
1. Description of Business
Stitch Networks Corporation (the Company), a Delaware corporation, was
incorporated in February 1996 as Goodvest Corporation and, in March 1999,
changed its name to e-Vend.net Corporation. In June 2001 the Company changed its
name to Stitch Networks Corporation. The Company designs and employs embedded
connectivity solutions that enable network servers to monitor and control
vending machines and appliances over the internet. The Company`s customers are
principally located in the United States.
On December 31, 2000, the Company executed a Vending Placement, Supply and
Distribution Agreement (the 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.
This agreement represented the majority of the Company`s operations in 2001.
2. Summary of Significant 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 on 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 never been profitable, has incurred net losses of
$5.9 million and $4.1 million during the years ending December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively, and cumulative losses from its inception through December
31, 2001 amounting to approximately $14.0 million. Losses have continued through
June 2002 and are expected to continue throughout 2002. The Company`s ability to
meet its future obligations is dependent upon the success of its products in the
marketplace and its ability to raise capital, which may not be readily
available, until the Company`s products can generate sufficient operating
revenues.
F-42
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company`s ability 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, a restructuring of the Company`s cost
structure which includes reductions in personnel and facility costs and
additional financing activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes all highly liquid investments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less.
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.
F-43
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are
recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of
the estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease term. The estimated
useful lives are as follows:
Vending machines and related components 3 to 7 years
Computers and purchased software 3 years
Equipment and furniture 5 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements 3 years
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, the Company periodically
evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets when events and circumstances
warrant such review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered
impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is
separately identifiable and is less than the carrying value. In that event, a
loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the
fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined by
using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved. Measurement of the impairment, if any, will be based upon the
difference between carrying value and the fair value of the asset.
Financial Instruments
The Company`s financial instruments principally consist of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and debt. Cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
Company`s debt is carried at cost, which approximates fair value, as the debt
bears interest at rates approximating current market rates.
F-44
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of products from the Company`s vending machines is
recognized upon the sale of such products and acceptance by the customer.
Monthly service fees are recognized for the use of vending machines and
access to the Company`s network.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Accordingly,
deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts reportable for income tax purposes.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $155,000 and $121,000,
respectively.
Accounting for Stock Options
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation, provides companies with a choice to follow the
provisions of SFAS 123 in determination of stock-based compensation expense or
to continue with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). The Company has elected to
follow the provisions of APB 25. Under APB 25, 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
net loss that is not materially different from the reported net loss.
F-45
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB recently issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, that is applicable to financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB`s new rules on
asset impairment supersede FASB Statement 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and portions of
APB Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations. This Standard provides a
single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and
significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an
asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important
distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at the lower of
fair value and carrying amount. This Standard also requires expected future
operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period in
which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as
presently required. The provisions of this Standard are not expected to have an
effect on the Company`s financial position or results of operations.

===================================
F-46
5. Long-Term Debt
In July 1998, the Company obtained a $425,000 Bank Loan (Loan) for working
capital purposes. The Loan bore interest at 7.5% and was repayable in 36 equal
monthly installments with a due date of June 1, 2002. The Loan was
collateralized by substantially all of the Company`s assets and was personally
guaranteed by the Company`s President and Chief Executive Officer.
In May 2000, the Company obtained a $2,000,000 Equipment Line of Credit (Line of
Credit) from a bank to fund the purchase of property and equipment. As of
December 31, 2000, $2,000,000 was outstanding under the Line of Credit. The Line
of Credit bore interest at a variable rate based on the bank`s prime rate and
was due on May 1, 2002, with interest only due on a monthly basis in the
interim. This loan was collateralized by substantially all of the Company`s
assets.
In May 2001, the $2,000,000 outstanding principal on the Line of Credit and the
$165,042 outstanding balance on the Loan were restructured and combined into a
single Loan (New Loan). The New Loan bears interest at a variable rate based on
the bank`s prime rate, and is due in full in June 2002, with interest payable
monthly. The personal guarantee of the President was removed from any and all
bank debt, and the collateral was replaced by an assignment of the Company`s
brokerage account containing the equivalent amount of cash and cash equivalents.
The New Loan balance of $2,165,042 was repaid in accordance with its terms in
June 2002. In connection with this borrowing arrangement, the Company was also
granted additional borrowing capacity in the form of a $50,000 loan commitment.
The $50,000 commitment was utilized during February 2002 (see Note 11).
F-47
5. Long-Term Debt (continued)
In May 2001, the Company obtained from a separate bank a borrowing facility (the
Facility) in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,500,000 to fund the
purchase of vending machines used for the distribution and sale of Kodak film
products. Borrowings are made from time to time under the facility, with

6. Stockholders` Equity
Holders of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have the option to convert
such shares into shares of Common Stock on a one-to-one ratio, subject to
certain exceptions. The conversion rate on a particular series of Preferred

or other shares convertible into Common Stock, are issued for a per-share price
less than the particular series conversion price. The Series A and Series B
Preferred Stockholders vote on an as-if-converted basis. Mandatory conversion
occurs upon the closing of an initial public offering of the Company`s Common
Stock, as defined. The holders of the Series A and Series B also have demand and

8. Stock Option Plan
In March 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Equity Compensation Plan (the Plan),
which provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights (SARs) to employees, directors and consultants of the
Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options
(ISOs) or Nonqualified Stock Options (NSOs). ISOs may be granted only to Company
employees (including officers and directors who are also employees). NSOs may be
granted to employees, directors and consultants. At December 31, 2001, the
Company reserved 2,559,059 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.
Options under the Plan are granted for periods of up to ten years and generally
vest over four years. All options are subject in general to earlier termination
if the optionee leaves the employ of the Company. To date, no restricted stock
or SARs have been issued under the Plan.
The Company does not recognize compensation expense on the issuance of its stock
options to employees and directors when the option terms are fixed and the
exercise price equals the fair value of the underlying stock on the grant date.
To date, all options issued to employees under the Plan have been ISOs and all
are exercisable at a price not less than the fair value of the Common Stock at
the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized.

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

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:
(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.
102
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
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the registrant`s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re: USA Technologies, Inc. -
Registration Statement on Form SB-2
-----------------------------------
Dear Mr. Jensen:
We have acted as counsel to USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with a Registration Statement on Form
SB-2, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof (the
"Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement covers 107,250,878 shares
of Common Stock ("Common Stock") which are either currently outstanding, or
issuable upon exercise of warrants.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined (i) the Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, and By-Laws of the Company; (ii) the resolutions of
the Board of Directors evidencing the corporate proceedings taken by the Company
to authorize the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to the Registration
Statement; (iii) the Registration Statement (including all exhibits thereto);
and (iv) such other documents as we have deemed appropriate or necessary as a
basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.
In rendering the opinion expressed below, we assumed the authenticity of
all documents and records examined, the conformity with the original documents
of all documents submitted to us as copies and the genuineness of all
signatures. We have also assumed that at all relevant times, the Company shall
have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to cover the
issuance by the Company of all shares underlying warrants.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and such legal considerations as
we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that when resold as contemplated by the
Registration Statement, and subject to effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and compliance with applicable state securities laws, the Common Stock
when issued will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to references made to this firm under the heading
"Legal Matters" in the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and
all amendments thereto.
Sincerely,
/s/ LURIO & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
