USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

OVERVIEW

USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We” or “Our”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. The Company offers a suite of networked devices and associated wireless non-cash payment, control/access management, remote monitoring and data reporting services, as well as energy management products. Our networked devices and associated services enable the owners and operators of everyday, stand-alone, distributed assets, such as vending machines, personal computers, copiers, faxes, kiosks and laundry equipment, the ability to remotely monitor, control and report on the results of these distributed assets, as well as the ability to offer their customers alternative cashless payment options. As a result of the acquisition of the assets of Bayview Technology Group, LLC (“Bayview”) in July 2003, our Company also manufactures and sells energy management products which reduce the electrical power consumption of various existing equipment, such as refrigerated vending machines and glass front coolers, thus reducing the electrical energy costs associated with operating this equipment.

Our customers fall into the following categories: vending machine owners and operators, business center operators which include hotels and audio visual companies, commercial laundry operators servicing colleges and universities, brand marketers wishing to provide their products or services via kiosks or vending machines and equipment manufacturers that would like to incorporate the technological features of our networked devices (i.e. remote monitoring, reporting and control as well as cashless payments) into their products. Customers for our energy management products also include energy utility companies, schools and operators of glass front coolers.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

Our Company offers an end-to-end solution for control/access management, remote monitoring, turnkey cashless payment processing and data reporting for distributed assets such as vending machines, office equipment, laundry machines and kiosks. This solution consists of a device in the distributed asset (the “client device”), a connectivity medium, and our proprietary network.

The Client Devices

As part of the end-to-end solution, the Company offers its customers several different client devices to connect their distributed assets. These client devices range from software, or dynamic link libraries ("DLLs"), to hardware devices consisting of control boards, magnetic strip card readers, RFID readers, and/or receipt printers. The client device can be embedded inside the host equipment, such as software residing in the central processing unit of a Kiosk; it can be integrated as part of the host equipment, such as our e-Port(R) hardware that can be attached to the door of a vending machine; or it can be a peripheral, stand-alone terminal, such as our TransAct(TM) terminal for Business Express(R).

e-Port(R) is the Company's core client device, which is currently being utilized in vending and commercial laundry applications. Our e-Port(R) product facilitates cashless payments by capturing the payment media and transmitting the information to our network for authorization with the payment authority (e.g. credit card processors). Additional capabilities of our e-Port(R) consist of control/access management by authorized users, collection of audit information (e.g. product or service sold, date and time of sale and sales amount), diagnostic information of the host equipment, and transmission of this data back to our network for web-based reporting.

2


TransAct(R) is the Company's original cashless, transaction-enabling device developed for self-service business center equipment such as PC's, fax machines and copiers. Similar to e-Port(R), the TransAct(R) capabilities include control/access management, collection of sales data (e.g. date and time of sale, sales amount and product or service purchased), and transmission back to our network for reporting to customers.

The Connectivity Mediums

Connectivity of our client devices (e-Port(R) and TransAct(R)) to the USALive(R) network is another component of the Company's end-to-end solution. The reliable, cost effective transfer of customer's business critical data is paramount to the services we deliver. Due to the importance of connectivity, and realizing that every customer's connectivity needs may be different (e.g. access, or lack thereof, to phone lines, local area networks ("LANs”), wide area networks ("WANs”) and wireless data networks), the Company offers multiple connectivity solutions - phone line, Ethernet and wireless.

Increasing wireless connectivity options, coverage and reliability and decreasing costs, over the past few years have allowed us to service a greater number of customer locations, since many of our customer's host equipment, particularly within the vending industry, do not have access to any other communication medium. Additionally, we make it easy for our customers to deploy wireless solutions by being a single point of contact. By aggregating different wireless networks, we ensure our customers have reliable, cost effective nationwide coverage without the hassles of certification and administration of multiple wireless suppliers.

The Network

USALive(R) is the network component of our end-to-end solution to which the Company's devices transmit their cashless payment information for processing as well as the valuable sales and diagnostic data for storage and reporting to our customers. Also, the network, through server-based software applications, provides remote management information and enables control of the networked device's functionality.

USALive(R) is the enabler of turnkey cashless payment processing for our customers. The network is certified with several cashless payment authorities, such as credit card processors and property management systems, facilitating the authorization and settlement of credit cards, debit cards, hotel room keys and student ids. The network can also act as its own payment processing authority for other cashless payment media, such as on-line stored value or employee payroll deduction. The network authorizes transactions, occurring at the host equipment, with the appropriate payment authority and sends approval or decline responses back to the networked device to allow or terminate the transaction for the purchase of the product or service. The network consolidates successfully approved transactions from multiple devices, batches, and then transmits these batched transactions to the payment authority for settlement. By bundling and batching transactions from multiple networked devices and connecting to the appropriate payment authorities through one central dedicated processing medium, it reduces the fees charged by the payment authority.

USALive On-line(TM) is the web based reporting system that customers use to gain access to the valuable business information collected from the networked devices. The website's functionality includes: management of the distributed assets deployed in the field, such as new activations and location redeployments; user-defined reporting for miscellaneous payment types (e.g. cash, credit, etc), date and time product sold, and sales amount; and detailed bank account deposit information, by device, for easier bank reconciliation. The Company offers this service through either a Company branded website or Customer specific branded website.

eSuds(TM) is our end-to-end solution developed for the commercial laundry industry. The eSuds(TM) system bundles e-Port(R) and USALive(R) to offer a cash-free payment option, web-based remote monitoring and management, an e-mail alert system to notify users regarding machine availability, cycle completion, and other events. eSuds(TM) also supports a variety of value-added services such as custom advertising or subscription-based payments.

Laundry operators purchasing our eSuds(TM) system will have the capability to conduct cashless transactions via credit cards, debit cards and other payment mediums such as student ids; to reduce operational costs through utilization of our remote monitoring technology, thereby maximizing the scheduling of service visits and increasing machine up-time. The system can also increase customer satisfaction through improved maintenance, higher machine availability, specialized services (i.e. email alerts to indicate that laundry cycle is finished) and the convenience of non-cash transactions. Installations have been completed at Carnegie Mellon University, Rutgers University, Case Western Reserve, John Hopkins University and others. We are working with distributors to install eSuds(TM) at other colleges and universities based on the positive results of these installations.

Transact(R) And Business Express(R)

TransAct(R), our original payment technology system developed for self-service business center devices, such as PCs, fax machines, and copiers, is a cashless transaction-enabling terminal that permits customers to use office equipment quickly and simply with the swipe of a major credit card. The TransAct(R) device can be sold as a stand-alone unit for customers wishing to integrate it with their own office equipment.

Business Express(R) is a bundled solution comprised of the TransAct(R) payment terminal and a suite of office equipment (i.e. PC, fax and copier). Business Express(R) enables hoteliers and others to offer unmanned business services 24/7/365. In addition, the Company offers the Public PC(TM), the Public Fax(TM) and the Public Copier(TM) to customers wishing to purchase a specific self-service product versus a complete bundled Business Center(R). The Company also provides additional value-added service and revenue generating opportunities with BEXPrint(TM), our proprietary technology that allows users, without access to a printer, to send a document to a secure web-site for storage, and then password retrieval of the document for printing at our Business Center locations, and our Kinko's relationship, which gives our Business Center users access to the nearest, convenient Kinko's center for their more advanced business center needs.

Although larger hotels are expected to provide business centers to its guests, operation of the center can be costly. In addition to the cost of operating a supervised business center, operating hours usually are limited due to staff availability. Business Express(R) provides a cost-effective solution.

Kiosk

We provide an end-to-end solution that utilizes e-Port(R) and USALive(R) to offer a cash-free payment option and web-based remote monitoring and management for all kiosk types. Kiosks permit a host of new services to become available at the point-of-demand, such as Sony's self-service, PictureStation kiosks, where consumers can produce prints from their own digital media. Our solution also enables Kiosks to sell a variety of more expensive items.

Sony's PictureStation kiosks, which use our e-Port(R) software solution, have been installed in approximately 60 locations across the United States.

Energy Management Products

With the acquisition of Bayview in July 2003, our Company offers energy conservation products ("Misers”) that reduce the electrical power consumption of various types of existing equipment, such as vending machines, glass front coolers and other "always-on" appliances by allowing the equipment to selectively operate in a power saving mode when the full power mode is not necessary. Each of the Company's Miser products utilizes occupancy sensing technology to determine when the surrounding area is vacant or occupied. The Miser then utilizes occupancy data, room and product temperatures, and an energy saving algorithm to selectively control certain high-energy components (e.g. compressor and fan) to realize electrical power savings over the long-term use of the equipment. Customers of our VendingMiser(R) product benefit from reduced energy consumption and costs of up to 46% per machine, depending on regional energy costs, machine type, and utilization of the machine. Our Misers also reduce the overall stress loads on the equipment, helping to reduce associated maintenance costs.

The Miser family of energy-control devices, include:

VendingMiser(R) - installs in a cold drink vending machine and can reduce the electrical power consumption of the vending machine by an average of up to 46%.

CoolerMiser™ - reduces the electrical energy used by sliding glass or pull open glass-front coolers that contain non-perishable goods.

VM2IQ™ and CM2IQ™ - The second generation of the VendingMiser™ and CoolerMiser™ devices that is installed directly inside the machine and has the capability to control the cooling system and the advertising lights separately.

SnackMiser™ - reduces the amount of electricity used by non-refrigerated snack vending machines.

PlugMiser™ - reduces the amount of electricity used by all types of plug loads including those found in personal or modular offices (printers, personal heaters, and radios), video arcade games, and more.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Everyday devices from vending machines and logistics equipment to refrigerators, security systems, and countless other devices can be better managed by embedding thin-client computing technology with network connectivity into each unit. Using wired and/or wireless networks and centralized, server-based software applications, managers can remotely monitor, control, and optimize a network of devices regardless of where they are located, resulting in a host of benefits including lower maintenance costs, improved inventory and transaction management, and increased operating efficiency.

This market opportunity is known by several different names, including Machine-to-Machine ("M2M") networking, Device Relationship Management ("DRM"), the Pervasive Internet and Device Networking. This industry is the convergence of computer-enabled devices and embedded systems, the Internet or other networking mediums, and centralized enterprise data-management tools. By connecting stand-alone devices into large-scale networks, new opportunities emerge between brand marketers, service providers, and their customers. Networked devices enable remote monitoring, cashless transactions, sales analysis, and optimized machine maintenance - all yielding higher return on investment for operators while increasing consumer satisfaction with improved and expanded services.

Brand marketers will be able to provide their products and services to customers wherever and whenever the need arises. They will no longer be limited to existing distribution channels and outlets. Just as beverage vending machines bring bottlers' products beyond the supermarket to the location where and when the customer wants them, a vast range of products and branding opportunities can be made available to customers at the point-of-need. In laundry, makers of detergent and fabric softener can have their products injected directly into a consumer's laundry, again putting their products at the point-of-need.

The market for networked device solutions is projected to be large and growing rapidly and includes a wide variety of segments such as the security and alarm, automated meter reading, fleet and asset management, and consumer telemetry markets. Networked devices will include personal devices (e.g. cell phones, PDAs), vehicles, containers, supply chain assets, medical devices, HVAC units, industrial machinery, home appliances, energy, accelerometers, pressure gauges, flow control indicators, biosensors, and countless other applications. According to an article, "Pervasive Internet", in M2M Magazine (Fall 2003), a minimum of 1.5 billion devices will be connected to the Internet worldwide by 2010. This represents a $700 billion total opportunity including device enabling, monitoring, and providing value-added services made available by the M2M network, according to M2M Magazine.

We believe that an opportunity exists to combine our technology with world-class partners in order to deliver a best-in-class solution and emerge as a leader in the Device Networking industry. Our Company has begun addressing this opportunity by working in several initial verticals, which include vending, commercial laundry, self-service business centers and self-service kiosks. These services share several key attributes, specifically, they are all self-service, cash-based businesses that are distributed across broad geographic areas. We address the extremely broad range of Device Networking opportunities by licensing our technologies to equipment makers throughout a variety of market segments. Equipment makers will be able to merge our technology with their in-depth market expertise.

THE INDUSTRY

Our current customers are primarily in the vending, commercial laundry, business center and kiosk industry sectors. While these industry sectors represent only a small fraction of the total Device Networking market, these are the areas where we have gained the most traction. In addition to being our primary markets, these sectors serve as a proof-of-concept for other Device Networking industry applications.

Vending

Annual worldwide sales in the vending industry sector are estimated to be approximately $143.5 billion, according to Vending Times Census of the Industry 2002. According to this Census, there are an estimated 8 million vending locations in the United States, and 30 million locations worldwide. The market segment that can be addressed by our end-to-end solution consists primarily of vended products retailing for $1 or greater, which represents a Company estimated vended volume of approximately $28 billion. Per census statistics, the overall market growth is 5% to 6% annually, while the addressable market segment for our end-to-end solution is growing more rapidly at 9% annually. Our VendingMiser(R) energy conservation product can serve the entire vending market.

Commercial Laundry

The domestic commercial laundry industry is estimated to be $5 billion in annual sales and 3.5 million commercial laundry machines in operation, according to Coin Laundry Association, October 2000 edition. The average annual growth rate for the commercial laundry sector is estimated to be between 10% and 12%. The Company believes the inline sale of additives (i.e. push-button selections for detergent and softener) may lead to a significant increase in this figure due to larger net margins over traditional industry standards. The addressable market is primarily the seven largest laundry operators, as well as several other small operators. These operators own and manage the equipment that is installed in multi-housing and college and university locations. The addressable market excludes those who own single laundromats.

Business Centers

There are currently 52,000 hotels in the United States and 300,000 worldwide, per American Hotel & Lodging Association's website, www.ahma.com. There is demand for business center availability in hotels, with ever-greater percentages of travelers needing and expecting use of computers, printers, fax machines, copiers, and other business services. We believe that there are 5,900 hotels in the primary addressable market - business oriented hotels with over 150 rooms - and 13,900 in the secondary market, hotels with 75 to 150 rooms. The growth rate for the overall market is 5% annually, with the addressable market gaining 8% annually.

Kiosk

According to a report by Frost and Sullivan Consulting, Kiosks represent a $500 million market. Kiosks are becoming increasingly popular as self-service "specialty" shops within larger retail environments. Value-added services, such as photo enlargement and custom imaging are a prominent example, located within many major retailers. Since pricing on these products is generally higher than $1 or $2, cashless payment options are essential.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company's sales strategy includes both direct sales and channel development, depending on the particular dynamics of each of our markets. Our marketing strategy is diversified and includes media relations, direct mail, conferences and client referrals. As of June 30, 2006, the Company was marketing and selling its products through its full time staff consisting of thirteen people.

Direct Sales

We sell directly to the major operators in each of our target markets. Each of our target markets is dominated by a handful of large companies, and these companies comprise our primary customer base. In the vending sector, approximately ten large operators dominate the sector; in the commercial laundry sector, seven operators currently control the majority of the market. We also work directly with hoteliers for our TransAct(TM) and Business Express(R) products.

Within the vending industry, our customers include soft drink bottlers and independent vending operators throughout the United States. On the soft drink bottler side, heavy effort is being put into securing initial distribution agreements. Three of the premier national independent vending operators, the Compass Group (Canteen, Flik, Eurest, Restaurant Associates and other affiliates), ARAMARK and Sodexho, have installed approximately 130 e-Port(R) devices.

Channel Sales

We currently engage in channel sales for our TransAct(TM) and Business Express(R) products. We also work with audio-visual companies that service major hotels.

7


Marketing

Our marketing strategy consists of building our brand by creating a company and product presence at industry conferences and events, in order to raise visibility within our industry, create opportunity to conduct product demonstrations and consult with potential customers one-on-one; sponsoring of education workshops with trade associations such as National Automated Merchandiser Association ("NAMA"), to educate the industry on the importance and benefits of our solution and establish our position as the industry leader; develop several one-sheet case studies to illustrate the value of our products; the use of direct mail campaigns; advertising in vertically-oriented trade publications such as Vending Times, Automatic Merchandiser and Energy User News; and cultivate a network of State governments and utility companies to provide incentives or underwriting for our energy management products.

STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS

Mastercard International

In June 2006, Mastercard International and the Company signed an agreement to deploy 1,000 e-Port devices that accept Matercard “PayPass™” in Coca-Cola vending machines owned and operated by the Philadelphia Coca-Cola Bottling Company. From July through September 2006, the Company has earned approximately $400,000 from this agreement.

Mars Electronics Inc. (MEI)

In September 2004, MEI and the Company signed a technology licensing and sales agreement to bring a turnkey cash and credit card payment system to the vending market. Under the agreement, MEI licensed our intellectual property so operators can connect to USALive(R), our network for services and credit card transaction capability. As of September 2006, the Company has not earned material revenues from these agreements.

Cingular Wireless (formerly AT&T Wireless)

In July 2004, we signed an agreement to use AT&T Wireless' digital wireless wide area network for transport of data, including credit card transactions and inventory management data. AT&T Wireless (now Cingular Wireless) is a provider of advanced wireless voice and data services for consumers and businesses, operating one of the largest digital wireless networks in North America and the fastest nationwide wireless data network in the United States.

MANUFACTURING

The Company utilizes independent third party companies for the manufacturing of its products. The Company purchases other components of its business center (computers, printers, fax and copy machines) through various manufacturers and resellers. Our manufacturing process mainly consists of quality assurance of materials and testing of finished goods received from our contract manufacturers. We have not entered into a long-term contract with our contract manufacturers, nor have we agreed to commit to purchase certain quantities of materials or finished goods beyond those submitted under routine purchase orders, typically covering short-term forecasts.

COMPETITION

The cashless vending, remote business service and energy conservation industries are each highly competitive markets. While the Company offers unique products and services within smaller niche markets of these industries, a number of competitors in the broader market may offer products and services within our niche market in the future. In the cashless vending market, we are aware of one direct competitor, Transaction Network Services, Inc. In the cashless laundry market, we are aware of one direct competitor, Mac-Gray Corporation. In the automated business center market, we are aware of three direct competitors. In the energy management market, we are not aware of any direct competitors for our Miser products.

8


The businesses which have developed unattended, credit card activated control systems currently in use in non-vending machine applications (e.g., gasoline dispensing, public telephones, prepaid telephone cards and ticket dispensing machines), might be capable of developing products or utilizing their existing products in direct competition with our e-port control systems targeted to the vending industry. 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. Finally, the production of highly efficient vending machines and glass front coolers or alternative energy conservation products may reduce or replace the need for our energy management products.

The Company’s key competitive factors include our unique products, our integrated services, product performance and price. Our competitors 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 increase in competition in the future 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.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATIONS

Approximately 39% and 36% of the Company's accounts and finance receivables at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were concentrated with two and two customers, respectively. Approximately 29%, 11% and 13% of the Company's revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were concentrated with two, one and one customer(s), respectively. The Company's customers are principally located in the United States.

The patent expires in July 2021.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses, which are included in general and administrative and compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $974,000, $1,364,000, and $688,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

EMPLOYEES

On August 31, 2006, the Company had 57 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have a history of losses since inception and if we continue to incur losses the price of our shares can be expected to fall. 

We have experienced losses since inception. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we expend substantial resources on sales, marketing, and research and development of our products. From our inception through June 30, 2006, our cumulative losses are approximately $128 million. For our fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we have incurred net losses of $21,426,178, $15,499,190, and $14,847,076, respectively. If we continue to incur losses, the price of our common stock can be expected to fall.

Our existence is dependent on our ability to raise capital that may not be available. 

There is currently limited experience upon which to assume that our business will prove financially profitable or generate sufficient revenues to cover our expenses. From inception, we have generated funds primarily through the sale of securities. Although we believe that we have adequate existing resources to provide for our funding requirements through at least June 30, 2007, there can be no assurances that we will be able to continue to generate sufficient funds thereafter. 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. During the year ended June 30, 2006, cash used in operating activities was approximately $924,000 per month. Using the actual cash requirements for the prior fiscal year for estimating cash requirements for the entire year ending June 30, 2006 (which assumes a static level of revenues), cash requirements for fiscal year 2007, including requirements for capital expenditures and repayments of long-term debt, would be approximately $11,600,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, 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.

We received an opinion from our auditor which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 

Our auditors, Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP, have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our June 30, 2006 consolidated financial statements indicating that as of June 30, 2006, 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.

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, 2009. 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 President, Stephen P. Herbert.

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.

13


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.

Through August 31, 2006, we have 29 pending patent applications, and intend to file applications for additional patents covering our future products, although there can be no assurance that we will do so. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will maintain or prosecute these applications. The United States Government and other countries have granted us 64 patents as of August 31, 2006. 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.

Competition from others with greater resources could prevent USA from increasing revenue and achieving profitability.

Competition from other companies that 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;

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.

14


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 Masterwork Electronics to assist us to develop and manufacture our e-Port(R) products and with various sources to manufacture our energy miser 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. We have contracted with IBM to host our network in a secure, 24/7 environment to ensure reliability of our network services. If these business relationships are terminated, the implementation of our business plan may be delayed until an alternative supplier or service provider can be retained. If we are unable to find another source or one that is comparable, the content and quality of our products could suffer and our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

Our reliance on our telecommunication service provider exposes us to a number of risks over which we have no control, including risks with respect to increased prices and termination of essential services.

The operation of our network depends upon the capacity, reliability and security of services provided to us by our telecommunication services provider, Cingular. We have no control over the operation, quality or maintenance of these services or whether the vendor will improve its services or continue to provide services that are essential to our business. In addition, our telecommunication services provider may increase its prices at which it provides services, which would increase our costs. If our telecommunication services provider were to cease to provide essential services or to significantly increase its prices, we could be required to find alternative vendors for these services. With a limited number of vendors, we could experience significant delays in obtaining new or replacement services, which could lead to slowdowns or failures of our network. In addition, we may have to replace our existing e-Port devices that are already installed in the marketplace. This could significantly harm our reputation and could cause us to lose customers and revenues.

We may not be able to adapt to changing technology and our customers’ technology needs.

We face rapidly changing technology and frequent new service offerings by competitors that can render existing services obsolete or unmarketable. Our future success depends on our ability to enhance existing services and to develop, introduce and market, on a timely and cost effective basis, new services that keep pace with technological developments and customer requirements.

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 and there can be no assurance that cash dividends will ever be paid on the common stock.

In addition, our articles of incorporation prohibit the declaration of any dividends on the Common Stock unless and until all unpaid and accumulated dividends on the Series A preferred stock have been declared and paid. Through June 30, 2006, the unpaid and cumulative dividends on the series A preferred stock equal $8,226,261. The unpaid and cumulative dividends on the series A preferred stock are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $1000 per share at the option of the shareholder. Through June 30, 2006, $2,702,764 of unpaid and cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 2,903 shares of common stock.

15


Our products may fail to gain widespread market. As a result, we may not generate sufficient revenues or profit margins to become successful.

There can be no assurance that demand for our products will be sufficient to enable us to become profitable. Likewise, no assurance can be given that we will be able to install the TransActs and e-Ports at enough locations or sell equipment utilizing our network or our energy management products 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 competitors’ 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.

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.

The substantial market overhang of our shares 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. As of June 30, 2006, these shares consisted of the following:
 
-
6,327,175 shares of Common Stock
-
5,215 shares of Preferred Stock
-
8,226 shares issuable upon conversion of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock
-
398,414 shares underlying Common Stock options and warrants
-
140,000 shares issuable to Mr. Jensen, our Chief Executive Officer, under his employment agreement upon the occurrence of a USA Transaction 
-
669,635 shares underlying our Convertible Senior Notes
-
715,571 shares issuable under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement with Steve Illes; and
-
16,587 shares issuable under our 2006-A Stock Compensation Plan.

16


Sales of shares eligible for future sale from exercise of warrants and options and our 2006 Common Stock Agreement could depress the market price of our common stock.

As of June 30, 2006, we had issued and outstanding options to purchase 178,933 shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase 219,481 shares, and 715,571 shares eligible for sale under our 2006 Common Stock Agreement. The shares underlying 78,933 of these options, all of these warrants, and all of the shares underlying the 2006 Common Stock Agreement 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, or the increase of the number of shares eligible for sale to Mr. Illes under our agreements with him, 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.

We are obligated to make substantial principal and interest payments to the holders of the Senior Notes for which funds may not be available or would use our available working capital.

As of June 30, 2006, we had $320,000 of unsecured senior notes due on June 30, 2009, $983,826 of unsecured senior notes due on June 30, 2007, $2,962,516 of unsecured senior notes due on December 31, 2007, $2,096,919 of unsecured senior notes due on December 31, 2008, $1,520,000 of unsecured senior notes due on December 31, 2009, and $2,012,000 of unsecured senior notes due on December 31, 2010. These notes accrue cash interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year with the exception of the notes due June 30, 2007, December 31, 2010 and $181,611 of the December 31, 2008 notes, which accrue cash interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per year. We are required to make quarterly interest payments totaling approximately $281,000 or $1,124,000 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 either be converted into Common Stock or be paid from cash generated 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.

Credit card issuers have promulgated credit card security guidelines as part of their ongoing efforts to battle identity theft and credit card fraud.

We continue to work with credit card issuers to assure that our products and services comply with these rules. These can be no assurances, however, that our products and services are invulnerable to unauthorized access or hacking. When there is unauthorized access to credit card data that results in financial loss, there is the potential that parties could seek damages from us.

17


We are subject to laws and regulations that affect the products, services and markets in which we operate. Failure by us to comply with these laws or regulations would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The Company is, among other things, subject to banking regulations and credit card association regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the suspension or revocation of our business, the limitation, suspension or termination of service, and/or the imposition of fines that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Additionally, changes to legal rules and regulations, or interpretation or enforcement thereof, could have a negative financial effect on the Company and our product offerings. The payment processing industry may become subject to regulation as a result of recent data security breaches that have exposed consumer data to potential fraud. To the extent this occurs, we could be subject to additional technical, contractual or other requirements as a condition of our continuing to conduct our payment processing business. These requirements could cause us to incur additional costs, which could be significant, or to lose revenues to the extent we do not comply with these requirements.

Item 2. Properties

The Company conducts its operations from various facilities under operating leases. In March 2003, the Company entered into a lease for 12,864 square feet of space located in Malvern, Pennsylvania for its principal executive office and used for general administrative functions, sales activities, and product development. The lease term extends through December 31, 2008 and provides for escalating rent payments and a period of free rent prior to the commencement of the monthly lease payment in January 2004 of approximately $25,000 per month. During April 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease covering 4,385 additional square feet that is contiguous to its existing space. The lease term was extended to December 31, 2010, and the amendment provides for a period of free rent for the additional space with rent of approximately $31,000 per month commencing in September 2005 with escalating rental payments thereafter.

The Company also leases 9,084 square feet of space, located in Malvern, Pennsylvania, on a month-to-month basis for a monthly payment of approximately $8,000. During prior years, the facility was solely used to warehouse product. All product warehousing, shipping and customer support was transferred to this location from the executive office location during the first quarter of fiscal year 2005.

In December 2004, the Company entered into a lease for 2,837 square feet of space located in Denver, Colorado, to be used for administrative functions, sales activities and product warehousing associated with our energy management products. The lease term extends through May 31, 2009 and provides for five months of free rent followed by rent payments of $1,200 per month and escalating payments beginning on June 1, 2006. The lease provides for additional rent for a prorated share of operating costs for the entire facility.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In February 2005, a Complaint was filed against the Company in the State Court of Fulton County, Georgia, captioned Swartz Private Equity, L.L.C. vs. USA Technologies, Inc. (File No. 2005 VS 0777772D). The Complaint alleges that the Company breached various agreements entered into with Swartz Private Equity, LLC in August and September 2000 in connection with the so-called equity line of credit provided by Swartz to the Company. The Complaint requests monetary damages of $4,350,381 representing the alleged value of the warrants currently held by, or claimed to be due to, Swartz, monetary damages of $196,953 representing a termination fee allegedly due in connection with the termination of an agreement, and unspecified monetary damages relating to the alleged breach of certain rights of first refusal.

In June 2005, the Company filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims in response to the Swartz Complaint. The Company’s response denied any liability to Swartz and sought unspecified money damages and other affirmative relief against Swartz. The Company’s filing alleged, among other things, that Swartz should be prohibited from enforcing the various agreements entered into by the parties because Swartz had failed to register as a broker-dealer under applicable Federal and state securities laws as required in order for Swartz to be engaged in the business of providing equity line products. The Company’s filing also alleged that Swartz fraudulently induced the Company to enter into the transaction by misrepresenting to the Company that Swartz was a deep pocket investor with significant financial resources, and Swartz would make significant investments in the Company.

18


On September 20, 2006, the parties agreed to fully settle this litigation. In this regard, we agreed to issue to Swartz 33,184 shares of our Common Stock. We also agreed to honor the cashless exercise of warrants by Swartz in 2003 for 6,816 shares of Common Stock. We had previously disputed that Swartz had validly exercised those warrants. We have granted to Swartz certain registration rights in connection with the 33,184 shares. The parties are currently preparing the settlement agreement and release implementing the settlement.

a) Represents stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2006 for the purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company expiring at various times from July 2006 through June 2013. Of such options, 164,275 were granted to employees and directors of the Company and 14,658 to former option holders of Stitch Networks Corporation. Exercise prices for all the options outstanding were at prices that were either equal to or greater than the market price of the Company's Common Stock on the dates the options were granted.

b) Represents 140,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to the Company's Chief Executive Officer under the terms of his employment agreement plus 16,587 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company's 2006-A Stock Compensation Plan.

In July 2003 the Company and the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) amended the terms of his employment agreement. Under the terms of the previous Executive Employment Agreement, the CEO would have been granted seven percent (non-dilutive) of all the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock in the event a "USA Transaction" (as defined) occurs, which among other events includes a change in control of the Company. The amended terms of the Executive Employment Agreement, eliminated the seven percent (non-dilutive) right to receive Common Stock upon a "USA Transaction", and granted the CEO an aggregate of 140,000 shares of Common Stock in the event a "USA Transaction" occurs. In exchange for the amendment of these terms, the Company issued an aggregate of 105,000 shares of its Common Stock to the CEO. In connection with this amendment, the CEO also entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which he shall not sell 25,000 of these shares for a one-year period and 80,000 of these shares for a two-year period. The CEO will not be required to pay any additional consideration for these shares of Common Stock. At the time of a "USA Transaction", all of the 140,000 shares to be issued to the CEO in connection with this amendment are automatically deemed to be issued and outstanding, and will be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The right to receive the shares is irrevocable and fully vested, and the rights have no expiration date and will not be affected by the termination of the CEO’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever. The shares issuable to Mr. Jensen have not been reserved for issuance by the Company and are not reflected or included in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis in this Form 10-K.

The Company's Board of Directors established and authorized the 2006-A Stock Compensation Plan in June 2006 for use in compensating employees, directors and consultants through the issuance of shares of Common Stock of the Company. There were 25,000 shares authorized under the Plan. The underlying shares for the Plan have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an employee benefit plan under Form S-8. As of June 30, 2006 there were 16,587 shares available for future issuance under the Plan.

20


As of June 30, 2006, shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance were as follows:

-
178,933 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options at exercise prices ranging from $7.50 to $100 per share

-
214,436 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants at exercise prices ranging from $7 to $125 per share

-
5,215 shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock

-
669,635 shares issuable upon the conversion of Senior Notes having an aggregate face value of $9,895,262

-
16,587 shares issuable the 2006-A Stock Compensation Plan; and

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the policies and estimates related to revenue recognition, software development costs, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, and investments represent our critical accounting policies and estimates. Future results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized on the terms of freight-on-board shipping point, or upon installation and acceptance of the equipment if installation services are purchased for the related equipment. Transaction processing revenue is recognized upon the usage of the Company's cashless payment and control network. License fees for access to the Company's devices and network services are recognized on a monthly basis. Product revenues are recognized for the sale of products from Company owned vending machines when there is purchase and acceptance of product by the vending customer. In all cases, revenue is only recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company estimates an allowance for product returns at the date of sale.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company capitalizes software development costs pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", after technological feasibility of the software is established and through the product's availability for general release to the Company's customers. All costs incurred in the research and development of new software and costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Amortization of software development costs commences when the product becomes available for general release to customers. Amortization of software development costs is calculated as the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues of that product or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The Company reviews the unamortized software development costs at each balance sheet date and, if necessary, will write down the balance to net realizable value if the unamortized costs exceed the net realizable value of the asset.

During May 2000, the Company reached technological feasibility for the development of the multi-media e-Port(TM) product and related internal network and, accordingly, the Company commenced capitalization of software development costs related to this product and network. Costs capitalized through 2002 were $5.3 million, which included capitalized interest of approximately $493,000 pursuant to SFAS No. 34, "Capitalization of Interest Costs".

23


During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, the multi-media e-Port(TM) client product and enhanced network became available for general release to the Company's customers. During this quarter, management performed an evaluation of the commercial success and preliminary market acceptance of the multi-media e-Port(TM) and enhanced network and as a result of this evaluation the Company determined that the estimated future revenues less costs to complete and dispose of the multi-media e-Port client product was zero. Therefore, the Company wrote down $2,663,000 of software development costs related to the multi-media e-Port client product. The unamortized balance of the software development costs after the impairment charge was amortized over an estimated useful life of two years and was fully amortized during the year ended June 30, 2004. Accumulated amortization was $5,326,186 at June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004. Amortization expense was approximately $999,000 during the year ended June 30, 2004. Such amortization is reflected in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets" ("FAS 144"), the Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets exceeds its net realizable value, the asset will be written down to its fair value. In the period when the plan of sale criteria of FAS 144 are met, long-lived assets are reported as held for sale, depreciation and amortization cease, and the assets are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company reviewed certain long-lived assets (vending machines) and determined that such assets were impaired. These vending machines were used and intended for use in connection with the Company's program with Kodak to sell disposable cameras and film pursuant to the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement. Management determined that it was more likely than not that these vending machines would be disposed of before the end of their previously estimated useful lives. The estimated undiscounted cash flows for this group of assets were less than the carrying value of the related assets. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $321,000 representing the difference between the fair value as determined from a quoted market price and the carrying value of the group of assets. Effective December 31, 2003, the Kodak agreement was terminated. As a result, the carrying value of the vending machines were further impaired and a charge of approximately $367,000 was recorded as a component of the gain on contract settlement in the June 30, 2004 Consolidated Statement of Operations to reflect these assets at their realizable value. The remaining value of these vending machines was then recorded as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2004. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company wrote off the remaining value of the vending machines that had not been sold during the year as a loss on contract settlement.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets purchased in acquisitions. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"). Under FAS 142, goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is subject to periodic testing for impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment using a two-step process. The first step screens for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow analysis to complete the first step in this process. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date. The Company has concluded there has been no impairment of goodwill as a result of its testing on April 1, 2004, April 2005 and April 1, 2006.

24


Patents, trademarks and the non-compete agreement are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic life. The Company reviews intangible for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value.

Intangible assets include patents, trademarks and non-compete arrangements purchased in acquisitions. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets was $1,236,600, $1,236,600, and $1,208,668 during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

INVESTMENTS

The Company's accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115"). Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as 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 ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment. In evaluating the factors above for available-for-sale securities, management presumes a decline in value to be other-than-temporary if the quoted market price of the security is below the investment's cost basis for a period of six months or more. However, the presumption of an other-than-temporary decline in these instances may be overcome if there is persuasive evidence indicating that the decline is temporary in nature (e.g., strong operating performance of investee, historical volatility of investee, etc.).

During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company issued 150,000 shares of its Common Stock ($2,850,000) for an investment in 1,870,091 shares in the Jubilee Investment Trust, PLC ("Jubilee"), a United Kingdom Investment Trust whose shares trade on the London Stock Exchange. The Company agreed not to sell the Jubilee shares for a period of 90 days from January 24, 2003 and to sell a maximum of 10% of the Jubilee shares during each month thereafter. Jubilee agreed not to sell the Company's shares of Common Stock for a period of two years from the date of issuance unless agreed to by the Company.

During fiscal year 2004, the Company sold 1,669,091 of the Jubilee shares for net proceeds of $1,471,140 and realized a gain of $603,480, with the cost of the securities calculated by the specific identification method. An unrealized gain of $3,080 and $32,249 on the shares held by the Company was reflected in shareholders' equity as accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During fiscal year 2006, the Company sold the remaining 70,000 shares for net proceeds of $19,243 and realized a loss of $16,087, with the cost of the securities calculated by the specific identification method.

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were $6,414,803, an increase of $1,736,814 or 37% from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributed to increased sales in our energy, vending and laundry product lines. Revenues are discussed in more detail as follows:

Equipment sales: Revenues from equipment sales increased to $5,198,360 from $3,535,064 in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $1,663,296 or 47%. This increase was primarily attributed to increased sales in our energy ($784,000), vending ($497,000) and laundry ($311,000) equipment sales.

License and transaction fees: Revenues from license and transaction fees increased $73,518 or 6% from $1,142,925 to $1,216,443 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. This increase was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees from our Intelligent Vending and eSuds products due to the increased number of devices connected to our USALive® network.

Cost of sales consisted of equipment, product and labor costs of approximately $3,547,000 and $2,431,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $1,116,000 and network and transaction related costs of approximately $857,000 and $1,048,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, a decrease of $191,000. The total increase of $925,000 or 27% in cost of sales from $3,478,673 to $4,404,457 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, was principally attributable to the increase in equipment sales.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was $2,010,346, compared to $1,199,316 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The increase of $811,030 was due to an increase in sales of our higher margin energy management products.

26


Total operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was $13,792,145, an increase of $202,622 or 2% over the prior fiscal year. The components of operating expenses (General and administrative, Compensation, and Depreciation and amortization) and the causes of this increase are explained in further detail, below:

General and administrative expenses decreased from $6,429,458 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 to $5,200,116 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $1,229,342 or 19%. The decrease is due to a reduction in consulting services of approximately $918,000 and a reduction in public relations expenses of approximately $204,000.

Compensation expense increased from $5,559,945 to $6,892,436 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, a $1,332,491 or 24% increase over the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to stock bonuses and options awarded to executives as well as stock options awarded to members of the board of directors. In addition, the Company increased the number of full-time employees during the fiscal year.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,699,593, compared to $1,600,120 for the prior fiscal year, a $99,473 or 6% increase. This increase was attributable to an increased amount of depreciation expense resulting from approximately $842,000 in property, plant and equipment purchases during the fiscal year. The majority of the purchases relate to the purchase and implementation of Oracle’s e-Business Suite, an enterprise management system.

Total interest expense decreased from $3,127,751 to $2,878,966 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, a decrease of $248,785 or 8%. The decrease is a result of a reduction in the number of conversions of Senior Notes into shares of the Company's Common Stock by Senior Note Holders. In the prior fiscal year, these conversions resulted in additional interest expense due to the accelerated amortization of debt discount charged to interest expense at the time of the conversion of the Senior Notes.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a contingent loss accrual related to a proposed settlement agreement with Swartz Private Equity, LLC, as more fully described above, resulting in a contingent loss of $270,000. There were no such losses in the prior fiscal year.

The fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 resulted in a net loss of $14,847,076 (approximately $4.0 million of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $15,499,190 (approximately $3.6 million of non-cash charges) for the prior fiscal year.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2005

Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 were $4,677,989, a decrease of $954,826 or 17% from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. This decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in sales of our energy management products. Revenues are discussed in more detail as follows:

Equipment sales: Revenues from equipment sales decreased to $3,535,064 from $4,349,566 in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $814,502 or 19%. This decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in sales of our energy management products of approximately $1,000,000. This was a result of approximately $686,000 in sales from three large customer orders in the current fiscal year as compared to approximately $1,691,000 in sales from five large customer orders during fiscal year 2004.

License and transaction fees: Revenues from license and transaction fees increased $165,274 or 17% from $977,651 to $1,142,925 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively. This increase was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees from our Intelligent Vending products, which was offset by the decrease in revenues from the termination of the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement in the prior fiscal year.

27


Product sales and other: Revenues from product sales and other decreased to $0 from $305,598 in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was due to a decrease in camera and film sales from Company owned vending machines of approximately $105,000 as a result of the termination of the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement and a decrease of $200,000 relating to a one-time payment in the prior fiscal year related to the agreement with Unilever.

Cost of sales consisted of equipment, product and labor costs of approximately $2,431,000 and $2,503,000 for the fiscal years ended June 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of $72,000; software development amortization of approximately $0 and $999,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively; and network and transaction related costs of $1,048,000 and $828,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $220,000. The total decrease of $851,019 or 20% in cost of sales from $4,329,692 to $3,478,673 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, was principally attributable to the decrease in equipment sales and the lack of software development costs.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was $1,119,316, compared to $1,303,123 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The decrease of $183,807 was due to a reduction in sales of our higher margin energy management products.

Total operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was $13,589,523, a decrease of $5,180,899 or 28% over the prior fiscal year. The components of operating expenses (General and administrative, Compensation, Depreciation and amortization and Loss on debt modification) and the causes of this decrease are explained in further detail, below:

General and administrative expenses decreased from $6,747,824 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 to $6,429,458 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $318,366 or 5%. The decrease is due to decrease in bad debt expense and consulting fees, which is partially offset by increases in public relations expenses.

Compensation expense decreased from $10,071,354 to $5,559,945 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, a $4,511,409 or 45% decrease over the prior fiscal year. This decrease is primarily due to the one-time issuance of 10,500,000 shares of Common Stock, valued at $4,620,000, to the Company's Chief Executive Officer in connection with the amendment of his employment agreement in the prior fiscal year. Additionally compensation expense increased by approximately $108,000 related to an increase in medical insurance costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was $1,600,120, compared to $1,632,330 for the prior fiscal year, a $32,210 or 2% decrease. This decrease was attributable to assets becoming fully depreciated during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
 
During the prior fiscal year, the Company incurred a charge of $318,915 related to the modification of debt terms for certain 2003 and 2004 Senior Notes. This charge represents the unamortized debt discount that remained on the Senior Notes that were scheduled to mature in December 2003 and 2004, and whose terms were substantially modified when the note holders agreed to extend the maturity date of their notes in exchange for a reduction in the conversion rate on the note. There was no such comparable charge in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold 1,669,091 shares of its investment in the Jubilee Investment Trust for net proceeds of $1,471,140, resulting in a gain of $603,480. There were no sales of such investments during the year ended June 30, 2005.

28


During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a gain of $429,204 was recorded relating to the termination of the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement. This gain is comprised of the payment from Kodak of approximately $675,000 plus the cancellation of Stitch's obligation to the supplier of the vending machines of approximately $124,000 less a write down of the carrying value of vending machines of approximately $367,000 and a net write-off of amounts due to and from Kodak of $3,000. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company wrote off the remaining value of the vending machines that had not been sold during the year as a loss on contract settlement totaling $42,300.

Total interest expense decreased from $5,032,351 to $3,127,751 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, a decrease of $1,904,600 or 38%. The decrease is a result of a reduction in the number of conversions of the Senior Notes into shares of the Company's Common Stock by Senior Note Holders. In the prior fiscal year, these conversions resulted in additional interest expense due to the accelerated amortization of debt discount charged to interest expense at the time of the conversion of the Senior Notes.

The fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 resulted in a net loss of $15,499,190 (approximately $3.6 million of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $21,426,178 (approximately $10.9 million of non-cash charges) for the prior fiscal year.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004

Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 were $5,632,815, an increase of $2,779,747 or 97% from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily attributed to sales of the Company's energy management equipment during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Such revenues did not exist in fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 since the acquisition of Bayview occurred in July 2003. The increase was also due to increases in the sale of our networked devices and related services. Revenues are discussed in more detail as follows:

Equipment sales: Revenues from equipment sales increased to $4,349,566 from $1,034,427 in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $3,315,139 or 320%. This increase is mainly due to sales of approximately $3,025,000 of the Company's energy management equipment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. As noted above, such revenues did not exist in the prior fiscal year. In addition, sales of the Company's cashless technology equipment, which includes e-Port, e-Suds and Kiosk systems, increased to $736,000, approximately $349,000 or 90% over the prior fiscal year. The increases in sales were offset by a decrease in Business Center equipment sales of approximately $59,000.

License and transaction fees: Revenues from license and transaction fees decreased $395,922 or 29% from $1,373,573 to $977,651 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in fees earned from the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement of approximately $387,000, which resulted from the termination of the contract on December 31, 2003.

Product sales and other: Revenues from product sales and other decreased to $305,598 from $445,068, a decrease of $139,470 or 31% from the prior fiscal year. This decrease was due to a decrease in camera and film sales from Company owned vending machines of approximately $340,000 as a result of the termination of the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement. This decrease was offset by $200,000 of revenue relating to the Strategic Alliance Agreement executed in October 2003 between the Company and Conopco, Inc dba Unilever Home & Personal Care North America.

Cost of sales consisted of equipment, product and labor costs of approximately $2,503,000 and $1,085,000 for the fiscal years ended June 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, an increase of $1,418,000; software development amortization of approximately $999,000 and $1,331,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, a decrease of $332,000; and network and transaction related costs of $828,000 and $555,000 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, an increase of $273,000. The total increase of $1,358,249 or 46% in cost of sales from $2,971,443 to $4,329,692 for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, was principally attributable to the increase in equipment sales.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $1,303,123, compared to a gross loss of $118,375 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The increase of $1,421,498 was due to increases in hardware sales, particularly the addition of energy management equipment sales, which yield a higher profit margin and were not present in the prior fiscal year, as well as a decrease of approximately $332,000 related to the amortization of software development costs, which were fully amortized as of March 31, 2004.

Total operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $18,770,423, an increase of $3,829,159 or 26% over the prior fiscal year. The components of operating expenses (General and administrative, Compensation, Depreciation and amortization and Loss on debt modification) and the causes of this increase are explained in further detail, below:

General and administrative expenses decreased from $7,194,684 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 to $6,747,824 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $446,860 or 6%. The decrease is due to decreases of $1,717,000 of professional fees, primarily related to business consulting, promotion and public relations and decreases of $134,000 in IT consulting fees, offset by increases in overall general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,184,000 related to the acquired energy management operations, as such expenses did not exist in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $118,000 in expenses related to the recruitment of executive personnel, and an increase of $164,000 in bad debt expense related to an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts as a result of the increase in sales and accounts receivable.

Compensation expense increased to $10,071,354 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a $5,098,144 or 103% increase over the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to the one-time issuance of 10,500,000 shares of Common Stock, valued at $4,620,000, to the Company's Chief Executive Officer in connection with the amendment of his employment agreement. Additionally, approximately $845,000 and $376,000 of this increase relates to additional compensation, including salaries, employee benefits and sales commissions, from the Bayview acquisition in July 2003 and existing operations, respectively. These increases were offset by a $742,000 reduction in compensation expense due to a reduction in bonuses awarded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $1,632,330, compared to $1,251,716 for the prior fiscal year, a $380,614 or 30% increase. This increase was attributable to amortization of intangible assets of $917,000 and depreciation of property and equipment of $122,000 acquired from Bayview in July 2003, offset by a decrease in depreciation of approximately $337,000 related to existing assets that have reached the end of their estimated useful life. Additionally there was an impairment charge of $321,476 recorded on a group of vending machines during fiscal year 2003.
 
The Company incurred charges during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 relating to the modification of debt terms for certain of the Senior Notes in the amount of $318,915 and $1,521,654, respectively. This charge reflects the write-off of the unamortized debt discount remaining for Senior Notes scheduled to mature in December 2003 and December 2004, for which the conversion and maturity terms were modified. The Company offered these note modifications to manage short-term cash flows, which resulted in a non-cash charge.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold 1,669,091 shares of its investment in the Jubilee Investment Trust for net proceeds of $1,471,140, resulting in a gain of $603,480. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, the Company determined that the decline in the market value of the investment in the Jubilee Investment Trust was "other than temporary." Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss of $1,945,951 on the investment during fiscal year 2003.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a gain of $429,204 was recorded relating to the termination of the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement. This gain is comprised of the payment from Kodak of approximately $675,000 plus the cancellation of Stitch's obligation to the supplier of the vending machines of approximately $124,000 less a write down of the carrying value of vending machines of approximately $367,000 and a net write-off of amounts due to and from Kodak of $3,000.

30


Total interest expense increased from $4,978,600 to $5,032,351 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $53,751 or 1%. Although the average principal balances were lower on the Company's 12% Senior Notes during fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 versus 2003, as the result of conversions of the Senior Notes into shares of the Company's Common Stock by Senior Note Holders, interest expense increased due to the accelerated amortization of debt discount charged to interest expense at the time of the conversion of the Senior Notes.

The fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 resulted in a net loss of $21,426,178 (approximately $10.9 million of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $21,965,499 (approximately $12.6 million of non-cash charges) for the prior fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the year ended June 30, 2006, net cash of $11,082,407 was used by operating activities, primarily due to the net loss of $14,847,076 offset by non-cash charges totaling $3,966,080 for transactions involving the issuance of Common Stock for services, stock option compensation charges, depreciation and amortization of assets, amortization of debt discount, and a loss on the sale of an investment. In addition to these non-cash charges, the Company's net operating assets increased by $419,925 (primarily a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in both accounts and finance receivables).

For the year ended June 30, 2006, net cash used in investing activities was $823,227, comprised of purchases of property and equipment (primarily consisting of our purchase and implementation of Oracle’s e-Business Suite, an enterprise management system), reduced slightly by the proceeds from the sale of an investment.

Proceeds from financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2006 provided $12,674,554 of funds, which were necessary to support cash used in operating activities. Net proceeds of $14,150,335 were realized from the issuance of Common Stock and the collection of Common Stock subscriptions receivable. Net proceeds of $1,314,944 were realized from the issuance of Senior Notes. These proceeds were reduced by payments of long-term debt and Senior Notes totaling $2,790,725, including $927,405 of Senior Notes due December 31, 2005, and $1,683,500 of Senior Notes due December 31, 2006.

The Company has incurred losses since inception. Cumulative losses through June 30, 2006 amounted to approximately $127,900,000. The Company has continued to raise capital through equity and debt offerings to fund operations.

During the year ended June 30, 2006, cash used in operating activities was approximately $925,000 per month. Using the prior fiscal year as a basis for estimating cash requirements for the year ending June 30, 2007 (which assumes a static level of revenues), cash requirements for the fiscal year 2007, including requirements for capital expenditures and repayments of long-term debt, would be approximately $11,600,000.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $2,900,000 of cash and cash equivalents on hand.

On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2006 Common Stock Agreement”) with Mr. Illes, an accredited investor, as more fully disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements. From July 1 to September 15, the Company issued 258,040 shares of Common Stock under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement for total gross proceeds of $1,653,500. As of September 15, 2006, 401,975 registered shares remain issuable under this agreement.

31


On September 25, 2006, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2006-B Common Stock Agreement”) with Mr. Illes, an accredited investor. Mr. Illes agreed to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $15,000,000. Under the 2006-B Common Stock Agreement, the Company has the right at any time to require Mr. Illes to purchase Common Stock from the Company at the lower of: (i) $30.00 per share; or (ii) 90% of the closing bid price per share on the date prior to the date of the delivery by the Company to Mr. Illes of notice of his obligation to purchase. The Company can require Mr. Illes to purchase shares only if the shares have been registered by the Company for resale under the Act. The agreement also states that no additional shares shall be registered under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement. During any calendar month, Mr. Illes cannot be required by the Company to purchase Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price in excess of $800,000. The initial number of shares of Common Stock subject to this agreement is 1,000,000. The Company has the right in the future, if necessary, to register additional shares in order to ensure that a sufficient number of shares are available for purchase by Mr. Illes. The 2006-B Common Stock Agreement terminates August 30, 2009. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Illes 20,000 shares of Common Stock as a due diligence fee in connection with this transaction.

Funding sources in place to meet the Company's cash requirements for the year ending June 30, 2007 are primarily comprised of approximately $2,900,000 in cash and cash equivalents on hand as of June 30, 2006 and the proceeds that are available under the 2006 and 2006-B Common Stock Agreements detailed above. The Company believes these existing sources will provide sufficient funds to meet its cash requirements through at least June 30, 2007.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's exposure to market risks for interest rate changes is not significant. Interest rates on its Senior Notes and long-term debt are generally fixed and its investments in cash equivalents and other securities are not significant. Market risks related to fluctuations of foreign currencies are not significant and the Company has no derivative instruments.

REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

Board of Directors and Shareholders of
USA Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of USA Technologies, Inc. as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statement of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the June 30, 2006 and 2005 balances in the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(b). These consolidated financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related June 30, 2006 and 2005 balances in the consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As disclosed in note 1, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation effective July 1, 2005.

Board of Directors and Shareholders of
USA Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2004. Our audit also included the June 30, 2004 balances in the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(b). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of USA Technologies, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the June 30, 2004 balances in the related consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that USA Technologies, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit and has incurred recurring operating losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

USA Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BUSINESS

USA Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. The Company offers a suite of networked devices and associated wireless non-cash payment, control/access management, remote monitoring and data reporting services, as well as energy management products. Our networked devices and associated services enable the owners and operators of everyday, stand-alone, distributed assets, such as vending machines, personal computers, copiers, faxes, kiosks and laundry equipment, the ability to remotely monitor, control and report on the results of these distributed assets, as well as the ability to offer their customers alternative cashless payment options. As a result of the acquisition of the assets of Bayview Technology Group, LLC ("Bayview") in July 2003 (Note 4), our Company also manufactures and sells energy management products which reduce the electrical power consumption of various existing equipment, such as refrigerated vending machines and glass front coolers, thus reducing the electrical energy costs associated with operating this equipment.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On February 7, 2006, our shareholders approved a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of our Common Stock. The effective date of the reverse stock split was February 17, 2006. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, (i) each 100 shares of outstanding Common Stock was reduced to one share of Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each outstanding warrant, or option is exercisable was proportionately reduced on a 100-to-1 basis; (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding warrant, or option was proportionately increased on a 1-to-100 basis; (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible was reduced from 1 share to one-hundredth of a share, and each share is entitled to one-hundredth of a vote rather than one vote per share as previously provided; (v) the conversion rate of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock was increased from $10.00 to $1,000.00 per share of Common Stock; (vi) and the conversion price of each convertible senior note proportionately increased on a 1-to-100 basis, and the number of shares into which each convertible senior note would be convertible was decreased on a 100-to-1 basis. The number of our authorized shares of Common Stock remains unchanged at 640,000,000. All of the share numbers, share prices, exercise prices, and conversion prices have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-100 reverse stock split.

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to recorded asset values that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses of $14.8 million, $15.5 million and $21.4 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Cumulative losses from its inception through June 30, 2006 amounted to approximately $127.9 million. Losses have continued through September 2006 and are expected to continue during fiscal year 2007. The Company's ability to meet its future obligations is dependent upon the success of its products and services in the marketplace. Until the Company's products and services can generate sufficient operating revenues, the Company will be required to raise capital to meet its cash flow requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability 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, the issuance of Common Stock (Note 12), the exercise of outstanding Common Stock warrants (Note 13), the issuance of debt (Note 10) and raising funds in the capital markets, as needed.

CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stitch Networks Corporation ("Stitch"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents represent all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are comprised of certificates of deposit and a money market fund. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which may exceed federally insured limits at times.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts for accounts receivable and finance receivables based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers’ ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when management determines the balance is uncollectible and the Company ceases collection efforts. Management believes that the allowance accrued is adequate to provide for normal credit losses.

FINANCE RECEIVABLES

The Company offers extended payment terms to certain customers for equipment sales. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support credit sales, but provides an allowance for credit losses and discontinues the accrual of interest, if necessary. Finance receivables are carried at their contractual amount and charged off against the allowance for credit losses when management determines that recovery is unlikely and the Company ceases collection efforts. The Company recognizes a portion of the loan payments as interest income based on the effective interest rate method in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

INVENTORY

Inventory consists of finished goods and packaging materials. Through November 30, 2005, inventory was stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. Due to the implementation of a new accounting system on December 1, 2005, the Company's inventory is stated at the lower of cost (average cost basis) or market. The Company determined that the change in accounting principle was not material and therefore has excluded the current and cumulative effect of the change and pro forma disclosures.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the respective lease term.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets purchased in acquisitions. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"). Under FAS 142, goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is subject to periodic testing for impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment using a two-step process. The first step screens for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company uses a discounted cash flow analysis to complete the first step in this process. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date. The Company has concluded there has been no impairment of goodwill as a result of its testing on April 1, 2004, April 2005 and April 1, 2006.

Patents, trademarks and the non-compete agreement are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic life. The Company reviews intangible for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company capitalizes software development costs pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", after technological feasibility of the software is established and through the product's availability for general release to the Company's customers. All costs incurred in the research and development of new software and costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Amortization of software development costs commences when the product becomes available for general release to customers. Amortization of software development costs is calculated as the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues of that product or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. The Company reviews the unamortized software development costs at each balance sheet date and, if necessary, will write down the balance to net realizable value if the unamortized costs exceed the net realizable value of the asset.

During May 2000, the Company reached technological feasibility for the development of the multi-media e-Port(TM) product and related internal network and, accordingly, the Company commenced capitalization of software development costs related to this product and network. Costs capitalized through 2002 were $5.3 million, which included capitalized interest of approximately $493,000 pursuant to SFAS No. 34, "Capitalization of Interest Costs".

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS (CONTINUED)

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, the multi-media e-Port(TM) client product and enhanced network became available for general release to the Company's customers. During this quarter, management performed an evaluation of the commercial success and preliminary market acceptance of the multi-media e-Port(TM) and enhanced network and as a result of this evaluation the Company determined that the estimated future revenues less costs to complete and dispose of the multi-media e-Port client product was zero. Therefore, the Company wrote down $2,663,000 of software development costs related to the multi-media e-Port client product. The unamortized balance of the software development costs after the impairment charge was amortized over an estimated useful life of two years and was fully amortized during the year ended June 30, 2004. The gross amount of software development costs and the accumulated amortization was $5,326,186 at June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004. Amortization expense was approximately $999,000 during the year ended June 30, 2004. Such amortization is reflected in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

INVESTMENT

The Company accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If the investment sustains an other-than-temporary decline in fair value, the investment is written down to its fair value by a charge to earnings.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets" ("FAS 144"), the Company reviews its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets exceeds its net realizable value, the asset will be written down to its fair value. In the period when the plan of sale criteria of FAS 144 are met, long-lived assets are reported as held for sale, depreciation and amortization cease, and the assets are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company reviewed certain long-lived assets (vending machines) and determined that such assets were impaired. These vending machines were used and intended for use in connection with the Company's program with Kodak to sell disposable cameras and film pursuant to the Kodak Vending Placement Agreement. Management determined that it was more likely than not that these vending machines would be disposed of before the end of their previously estimated useful lives. The estimated undiscounted cash flows for this group of assets were less than the carrying value of the related assets. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $321,000 representing the difference between the fair value as determined from a quoted market price and the carrying value of the group of assets. Effective December 31, 2003, the Kodak agreement was terminated (Note 14). As a result, the carrying value of the vending machines were further impaired and a charge of approximately $367,000 was recorded as a component of the gain on contract settlement in the June 30, 2004 Consolidated Statement of Operations to reflect these assets at their realizable value. The remaining value of these vending machines was then recorded as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2004. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company wrote off the remaining value of the vending machines that had not been sold during the year as a loss on contract settlement.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables-current portion, 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 long-term Finance Receivables and Long-Term Debt approximates book value as such instruments are at market rates currently available to the Company. The fair value of the Senior Notes approximates the principal amount as such instruments are at market rates currently available to the Company.

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 and finance receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. Approximately 39% and 36% of the Company's accounts and finance receivables at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were concentrated with two and two customers, respectively. Approximately 29%, 11% and 13% of the Company's revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were concentrated with two (19% with one customer and 10% with another customer), one and one customer, respectively. The Company's customers are principally located in the United States.

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. License fees for access to the Company's devices and network services are recognized on a monthly basis. Product revenues are recognized for the sale of products from Company owned vending machines when there is purchase and acceptance of product by the vending customer. In all cases, revenue is only recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company estimates an allowance for product returns at the date of sale.

WARRANTY COSTS

The Company generally warrants its products for one to three years. Warranty costs are estimated and recorded at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience, if available.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

Shipping and handling fees billed to our customers in connection with sales are recorded as revenue. The costs incurred for shipping and handling of our product are recorded as cost of sales.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses, which are included in general and administrative and compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations, were approximately $974,000, $1,364,000, and $688,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK OPTIONS

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted FAS123(R) using the Modified Prospective Application method. For outstanding nonvested share-based awards as of July 1, 2006, compensation expense for the portion of the award for which the requisite services have not been rendered will be recognized in the Statement of Operations as the services are rendered. Compensation expense will be recognized based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based award as previously calculated under FAS 123 at the time of the grant, however, the Company is required to adjust the compensation expense for expected forfeitures. Awards granted subsequent to July 1, 2005 will be based on the guidance provided by FAS 123(R).

Due to the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company has recognized $14,044 of compensation expense related to a single grant of 3,000 common stock options during the prior fiscal year for which were not fully vested as of the date of adoption. The remainder of the common stock options that were outstanding at the date of adoption were fully vested as of the date of adoption. There was no impact on cash flows or basic and diluted earnings per share.

The pro-forma disclosures required by FAS 123 have not been included for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 as the fair value of the options granted were not considered to be material.

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 potential common shares (approximately 1,081,000 and 1,250,000 shares as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively). No exercise of stock options, purchase rights, stock purchase warrants, or the conversion of senior notes, debentures, preferred stock, or cumulative preferred dividends was assumed during the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 because the assumed exercise of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of FIN 48.

4. ACQUISITIONS

BAYVIEW TECHNOLOGY GROUP, LLC

On July 11, 2003, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Bayview. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, the Company issued to Bayview 200,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock and cash of $631,247 to settle an obligation of Bayview. The definitive agreement also provided for the Company to assume certain obligations under a royalty agreement expiring May 31, 2006. Approximately $149,000, $112,000 and $169,000 of royalty expense was recorded during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in connection with this agreement. In connection with this transaction, the Company also agreed to issue 1,700 shares of its restricted Common Stock to a consultant who provided certain services to the Company in connection with this acquisition.

The acquisition allows the Company to offer energy conservation products that reduce the power consumption of various types of equipment, such as vending machines, glass front coolers and other "always-on" appliances by allowing the equipment to operate in power saving mode when the full power mode is not necessary.

The acquisition cost of Bayview was $10,030,894, which principally was comprised of the issuance of 200,000 shares of restricted Common Stock valued at $9,200,000 and a cash payment of $631,247. The value of the 200,000 shares of Common Stock was determined based on the average market price of the Company's Common Stock over the two-day period before and after the definitive agreement date of July 11, 2003. The purchase price also included acquisition related costs of $199,647.

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation to reflect the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

BAYVIEW TECHNOLOGY GROUP, LLC (CONTINUED)

Of the $9,449,000 of Bayview acquired intangible assets, $7,424,000 was assigned to patents that are subject to amortization over a 10-year period, $1,011,000 was assigned to a non-compete agreement that is subject to amortization over a 5-year period and $1,014,000 was assigned to trademarks and trade names that are not subject to amortization.

Of the 200,000 shares issued to Bayview, 7,000 shares were placed into an escrow account to be issued to one owner of Bayview if certain Bayview stock options were exercised. This agreement called for these shares to be returned to the Company if the Bayview stock options were not exercised. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company determined that the Bayview stock options would not be exercised and the shares previously issued into escrow would be cancelled. Therefore, the Company decreased the purchase price by $322,000 due to the return and cancellation of the 7,000 shares held in escrow. The decrease in the purchase price resulted in a reduction of goodwill and shareholders’ equity of $322,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations of Bayview have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition. Results of operations of the Company for year ended June 30, 2004 would not have been significantly different than reported had the acquisition taken place July 1, 2003 as the acquisition occurred on July 11, 2003. Pro-forma combined results for the year ended June 30, 2003 would have been as follows had the acquisition taken place July 1, 2002 - revenues of $8,487,190; net loss of $22,478,740; loss applicable to common shares of $23,272,326; loss per common share (basic and diluted) of $17.66.

STITCH NETWORKS CORPORATION

On May 14, 2002, USA Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired Stitch pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, USA Acquisition Corp., Stitch and the stockholders of Stitch. Additionally, on May 14, 2002, the Company's shareholders voted to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 150,000,000. The Company acquired Stitch to strengthen its position as a leading provider of wireless remote monitoring and cashless and mobile commerce solutions and to increase the Company's revenue base. These revenues would include product revenues and monthly service and transaction fees. Additionally, the acquisition of the Stitch technology enhanced the Company's existing technology and complemented the revenue and transaction processing revenue of the Company's existing products. Certain Stitch personnel were believed to possess some key strengths in several disciplines that the Company believed to be of great value in its plans for growth.

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 227,623 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Stitch, and the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 75,874 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $40 per share at any time through June 30, 2002. The purchase price also included the assumption of outstanding Stitch stock options that were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 24,753 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $16.50 per share at any time prior to May 14, 2007, warrants to purchase up to 4,125 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $40 per share at any time through June 30, 2002 and other acquisition related expenses. None of the warrants issued in connection with the acquisition were exercised. A total of 48,000 shares of the Common Stock issued to the former stockholders of Stitch were held in escrow to secure the former stockholder's indemnification obligations under the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Such shares are subject to cancellation if there is a breach of the indemnification (as defined). The value of the marketable equity securities issued in connection with this acquisition was determined based on the average market price of the Company's Common Stock over a two-day period before and after April 10, 2002, the date the definitive agreement to acquire Stitch was entered into. Such valuation was in accordance with EITF 99-12: "Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination".

In connection with the acquisition, the Company determined that it would vacate office space previously occupied by Stitch. Accordingly, in connection with this acquisition, the Company accrued the remaining lease exit costs relating to the lease in the amount of approximately $354,000 as part of the cost of purchasing Stitch. In November 2003, Stitch and the lessor of the office space reached an agreement that required Stitch to pay the lessor $55,000 as consideration to release Stitch from any further obligations under the lease. In addition, a security deposit of approximately $9,000 was retained by the lessor. Accordingly, the difference between estimated lease exit costs recorded in conjunction with the acquisition and actual consideration paid was recorded as a reduction of goodwill in the amount of $290,000 during the year ended June 30, 2004.

9. INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $111,024,000 and $98,428,000, respectively, to offset future taxable income expiring through approximately 2026. In addition, the Company had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $1,360,000 and $1,264,000 as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, that expires in 2011. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded net deferred tax assets of approximately $43,882,000 and $39,143,000, respectively, which was reduced by a valuation allowance of the same amount as the realization of the deferred tax asset is not likely, principally due to the lack of earnings history.

The timing and extent to 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 $11,800,000 at the acquisition date. Such net operating loss carryforwards are limited under the same provisions as to the amount available to offset future taxable income and to the extent used in any given year, will result in decreases to goodwill as opposed to income tax expense.

The deferred tax assets arose primarily from the use of different accounting methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

10. SENIOR NOTES

The Company has issued six series of Senior Notes each with an annual interest rate of 12% and are convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock for which there were outstanding obligations as of June 30, 2006, 2005 or 2004. These Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on December 31, 2004 ("2004 Senior Notes"), December 31, 2005 ("2005 Senior Notes"), December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2009. The Company has also issued three series of Senior Notes each with an annual interest rate of 10% and are convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock for which there were outstanding obligations as of June 30, 2006 or June 30, 2005. These Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on June 30, 2007, December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2010.

The 2004 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a private placement offering authorized during the year ended June 30, 2002. The 2004 Senior Notes were convertible into shares of Common Stock at $40 per share at any time through December 31, 2004. Certain shareholders of the Company who held warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock exercisable at $50 per share were offered the opportunity to cancel those warrants and receive an equivalent number of new warrants exercisable at $10 per share if they invested in the 2004 Senior Note offering. The fair value of the new warrants issued and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with the 2004 Senior Notes created debt discount that was allocated to equity and was amortized to interest expense through December 31, 2004. During January 2005, the Company repaid $131,152 of these Senior Notes and agreed with the holders of the remaining $320,000 of these notes to extend the maturity date to March 31, 2005. In exchange for extending the maturity date, the Company authorized a reduction of the conversion price to $10 resulting in the recording of $32,000 as debt discount related to the intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature, which was amortized through March 31, 2005. The maturity date of these notes was further extended to June 30, 2009 in March 2006, with no other terms being modified.

The 2005 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a private placement offering authorized during the year ended June 30, 2002 that included the issuance of 200 shares of Common Stock for each $10,000 of face amount of notes issued. The 2005 Senior Notes were convertible into shares of Common Stock at $20 per share at any time through December 31, 2005. The fair value of the Common Stock issued and the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion feature associated with the 2005 Senior Notes created debt discount that was allocated to equity and was amortized to interest expense through December 31, 2005. During the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, $130,000, $21,000, and $514,359, respectively, of the 2005 Senior Notes were converted into 6,500, 1,050, and 25,717, shares of Common Stock, respectively. On January 1, 2006, the Company repaid all of the outstanding 2005 Senior Notes for a total repayment of $910,262.

In March 2003, the Company granted to the holders of Senior Notes due December 31, 2003 (“2003 Senior Notes”) and the 2004 Senior Notes the right to extend the maturity date of these Senior Notes to December 31, 2006 (“2006 Senior Notes”) and December 31, 2007 (“2007 Senior Notes”), respectively, in exchange for reducing the conversion rates from $125 to $20 per share for the 2003 Senior Notes and from $40 to $20 per share for the 2004 Senior Notes. This offer expired on December 31, 2003. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, Senior Note holders agreed to exchange an aggregate of $2,303,953 and $6,911,397, respectively, of 2003 Senior Notes and 2004 Senior Notes for new notes maturing in 2006 and 2007. The exchange of the 2003 Senior Notes and 2004 Senior Notes to the 2006 Senior Notes and 2007 Senior Notes was deemed a significant modification of the terms of the Senior Notes and, accordingly, the exchanged 2003 Senior Notes and 2004 Senior Notes have been extinguished. The unamortized debt discount and other issuance costs remaining on the 2003 Senior Notes and 2004 Senior Notes exchanged and extinguished were expensed ($318,915 for the year ended June 30, 2004) and have been reported as a loss on debt modification in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the loss on debt modification for the year ended June 30, 2004 is $277,279 that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2003. During fiscal year 2003 and 2004, the Company's share price was often greater than the conversion price at times when Senior Note holders exchanged their 2003 and 2004 Senior Notes for 2006 and 2007 Senior Notes. The intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature created debt discount that was allocated to equity and is being amortized to interest expense through December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Due to the limited number of authorized shares available for issuance, the terms of the offering provided that all of such warrant holder’s warrants would be cancelled if they participated in the offering. Through the last day of the offering, the Company received $1,550,789 in gross proceeds from sales of the 2007-B Senior Notes and 56,370 shares underlying the warrants were cancelled. As the Company’s share price on the day of issuance of each of these Senior Notes was greater than the conversion price of $10, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature totaling $518,645 as additional debt discount, which is being amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of these Senior Notes. During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, $56,136 and $460,827, respectively, of the 2007-B Senior Notes were converted into 5,613 and 46,082, respectively, shares of Common Stock.

In connection with this offering, the Company paid a due diligence fee of $27,000 to an accredited investor. The Company received $1,755,000 in gross proceeds from the 2005-B Senior Note offering. On March 22, 2005, the Company authorized an offer whereby the holders of the 2005-B Senior Notes had the right through April 30, 2005 to exchange their 2005-B Senior Notes for Senior Notes convertible into shares of Common Stock at $10 per share maturing on December 31, 2010 (“2010 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2010 Senior Notes is payable quarterly at 10% per annum. During March 2005, all of the 2005-B Senior Notes were exchanged for 2010 Senior Notes. As the Company’s share price on the day of issuance of each of these Senior Notes was greater than the conversion price of $10, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature totaling $1,394,200 as additional debt discount, which is being amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of these Senior Notes. During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, $98,000 and $415,000, respectively, of the 2010 Senior Notes were converted into 9,800 and 41,500 shares, respectively, of Common Stock.

On March 22, 2005, the Company authorized an offer to the holders of the Senior Notes whereby those holders could elect to extend the maturity date of their Senior Notes (the “Senior Note Extension Offer”). Holders of 2005 Senior Notes had the right to extend their maturity to December 31, 2008 (“2008 Senior Notes”) and holders of 2006 Senior Notes had the right to elect to extend their maturity to December 31, 2009 (“2009 Senior Notes”).

The exchange of the 2005 Senior Notes and 2006 Senior Notes to the 2008 Senior Notes and 2009 Senior Notes was not deemed a significant modification of the terms of the Senior Notes and, accordingly, the unamortized debt discount and other issuance costs remaining on the 2005 Senior Notes and 2006 Senior Notes exchanged will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of the new notes.

The 2008-C Senior Note offering terminated on November 30, 2005. The holders of the 2005-D Common Stock Warrants had the right to purchase the principal amount of the 2008-C Senior Notes equal to the number of 2005-D Common Stock Warrants multiplied by $10. Upon the investment in the offering, the corresponding 2005-D Common Stock Warrants were cancelled, resulting in a non-dilutive offering. Interest on the 2008-C Senior Notes shall be paid on a quarterly basis in arrears at the rate of 10% per annum with the outstanding principal amount of the 2008-C Senior Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be paid in full no later than December 31, 2008. The 2008-C Senior Notes are convertible at any time into Common Stock at the rate of $10 per share.

The Company issued $544,944 of the 2008-C Senior Notes during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and issued special purchase rights to acquire up to 54,494 shares of Common Stock at $20 per share. During January 2006, the holder of each special purchase right agreed to exchange the purchase rights for warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $20 at anytime prior to December 31, 2008. The fair value of the purchase rights issued in conjunction with the 2008-C Senior Notes created debt discount totaled $184,542, which is being amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of these Senior Notes. The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 0.868, risk-free interest rate of 4.0%, and an expected life of three years.

The offering terminated on November 30, 2005. The Company issued $770,000 of the Bridge Notes. As all of the aforementioned 2008-C Senior Notes were not subscribed on the due date of the Bridge Notes, the Bridge Notes were automatically exchanged on January 6, 2006, in accordance with the original terms of Bridge Notes, for a like principal amount of new Convertible Senior Notes due December 31, 2010 (“2010-B Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2010-B Senior Notes is payable quarterly at 10% per annum and is convertible into Common Shares at $10 per share. As the Company’s share price on the day of issuance of each of these Senior Notes was greater than the conversion price of $10, the Company recorded the intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature totaling $321,399 as additional debt discount, which is being amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of these Senior Notes. In addition, for each $10,000 of 2010-B Senior Notes issued in exchange for the Bridge Notes, the Company also issued special purchase rights that enable the holder to purchase up to 1,000 shares of Common Stock at $20 per share through December 31, 2008. The Company issued $770,000 of the 2010-B Senior Notes and issued special purchase rights to acquire up to 77,000 shares of Common Stock at $20 per share.

11. PREFERRED STOCK

The authorized Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each series with such rights, preferences or restrictions as determined by the Board of Directors. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to one-hundredth of a vote and is convertible at any time into one-hundredth of a share of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one voting right. Series A Preferred Stock provides for an annual cumulative dividend of $1.50 per share, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, to the shareholders of record in equal parts on 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.

Cumulative unpaid dividends at June 30, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $8,226,261 and $7,461,293, respectively. Cumulative unpaid dividends are convertible into common shares at $1,000 per common share at the option of the shareholder. During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2004, certain holders of the Preferred Stock converted 1,200 and 1,750, respectively, into 12 and 17 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Certain of these shareholders also converted cumulative preferred dividends of $18,320 and $22,440, respectively, into 18 and 22 shares of Common Stock during the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2004, respectively. There were no conversions of preferred stock or cumulative preferred dividends during the year ended June 30, 2005. The Series A Preferred Stock may be called for redemption at the option of the Board of Directors at any time on and after January 1, 1998 for a price of $11.00 per share plus payment of all accrued and unpaid dividends. No such redemption has occurred as of June 30, 2004, 2005, or 2006. In the event of any liquidation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued shall be entitled to receive $10.00 for each outstanding share plus all cumulative unpaid dividends. If funds are insufficient for this distribution, the assets available will be distributed ratably among the preferred shareholders.

Pursuant to the Common Stock Agreement, the investor agreed to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, provided that the aggregate purchase price did not exceed $7,500,000. Under the Common Stock Agreement, the Company had the right at any time to require Mr. Illes to purchase Common Stock from the Company at the lower of: (i) $30 per share; or (ii) 90% of the closing bid price per share on the date prior to the date of the delivery by the Company to the investor of notice of his obligation to purchase.

Additionally, the shares were only available for purchase for a period of one year from the date the shares were registered under the Act. During any calendar month, Mr. Illes could not be required by the Company to purchase Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price in excess of $700,000.

On December 13, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 560,000,000 to 640,000,000.

During the year ended June 30, 2006, warrants were exercised to purchase 36,800 shares of Common Stock at a share price of $10, generating proceeds of $368,000. During the year ended June 30, 2005, warrants were exercised to purchase 109,942 shares of Common Stock at a share price of $10, generating net proceeds of $1,094,658. During the year ended June 30, 2004, warrants and stock options were exercised to purchase 321,793 shares of Common Stock at share prices ranging from $7 to $20, generating proceeds of $2,800,472.

In July 2003, the Company and the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") amended the terms of his Executive Employment Agreement (expiring June 2005). Under the terms of the previous Executive Employment Agreement, the CEO would have been granted seven percent (non-dilutive) of all the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock in the event a "USA Transaction" (as defined) occurs, which among other events includes a change in control of the Company. The amended terms of the Executive Employment Agreement, eliminates the seven percent (non-dilutive) right to receive Common Stock upon a "USA Transaction" and granted the CEO an aggregate of 140,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits or combinations) in the event a "USA Transaction" occurs. In exchange for the amendment of these terms, the Company issued the CEO 105,000 shares of its Common Stock valued at $4,620,000 or $44 per share representing the quoted market price of the Company's Common Stock on the date the amendment was entered into and the shares were granted. In connection with this amendment, the CEO also entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which he cannot sell 25,000 of these shares for a one-year period and 80,000 of these shares for a two-year period. The CEO is not required to pay any additional consideration for these shares of Common Stock. At the time of a "USA Transaction", all of the 140,000 shares are automatically deemed to be issued and outstanding, and will be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. These shares are irrevocable and fully vested, have no expiration date, and are not affected by the termination of the CEO for any reason whatsoever.

13. COMMON STOCK WARRANTS AND OPTIONS (CONTINUED)

In conjunction with the 2008-C Senior Note offering (Note 10), the Company issued warrants to purchase 54,494 shares of Common Stock and are exercisable at $20 per share at any time prior to December 31, 2008.

In conjunction with the 2010-B Senior Note offering (Note 10), the Company issued warrants to purchase 77,000 shares of Common Stock and are exercisable at $20 per share at any time prior to December 31, 2008.

In conjunction with the 2005-D Private Placement Offering (Note 12), the Company issued warrants to purchase 233,333 shares of Common Stock and are exercisable at $15 per share at any time prior to December 31, 2005. During October 2005, the Company approved a temporary reduction in the exercise price of the 2005-D Common Stock Warrants from $15 to $10 per share through November 30, 2005. The Company received $368,000 and issued 36,800 shares of Common Stock as a result of the exercise of the 2005-D Common Stock Warrants at $10 per share.

Prior to June 30, 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase approximately 37,000 shares of Common Stock to holders of the Senior Notes who elected to receive quarterly interest on their Notes in shares of Common Stock, in lieu of a cash payment of interest ("Original Interest Warrants"). These warrants were exercisable at $20 per share through August 30, 2004. In June 2004, the Company issued additional warrants to the Senior Note holders who elected to receive interest in shares of Common Stock ("Additional Interest Warrants"). One additional warrant was issued for each warrant previously issued with an exercise price of $20 per share through December 31, 2004.

The Company reduced the exercise price of the Original Interest Warrants to $15 per share and extended their expiration through October 29, 2004. In addition, for each Original Interest Warrant exercised through October 4, 2004, the expiration date of one Additional Interest Warrant was extended to June 30, 2005 from December 31, 2004, and the exercise price was reduced to $15 per share through June 30, 2005. The Company also reduced the exercise price of the Additional Interest Warrants to $15 per share through November 30, 2004 and then retroactively to $10 per share through December 31, 2004. Investors who had previously exercised Original Interest Warrants and Additional Interest Warrants at $15 per share were refunded the equivalent of $5 per share in recognition of the reduction of the exercise price to $10 per share that occurred after the warrants were exercised. Such refunds amounted to $40,971. During the year ended June 30, 2005, Original Interest Warrants and Additional Interest Warrants were exercised to purchase 8,074 shares of Common Stock. Such exercises generated net proceeds of approximately $75,000, after considering the above-mentioned refund.

As of October 25, 2004, the Company reduced the exercise price of the Common Stock warrants issued as part of the 2004-A Private Placement Offering to $10 per share, from $20 per share, through November 30, 2004. On December 13, 2004, the exercise price of $10 per share was retroactively extended to December 31, 2004. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company received $765,833 upon the exercise of 76,583 of these warrants at an exercise price of $10 per share.

The Company's Board of Directors has granted options to employees and Board members to purchase shares of Common Stock at prices that were at or above fair market value on the dates the options were granted. The option term and vesting schedule were established by the contracts under which the options were granted.

14. TERMINATION OF KODAK VENDING PLACEMENT AGREEMENT

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Stitch, entered into a vending placement agreement whereby Stitch agreed to purchase film and cameras directly from Eastman Kodak Company and vending machines from a supplier. Stitch placed the vending machines at numerous locations throughout the United States under agreements negotiated with the location owners and derived revenues amounting to $0, $0 and $358,484 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

During 2003, Stitch alleged that the supplier and another party to the vending agreement breached the vending agreement and the supplier and the other party to the vending agreement alleged that Stitch had breached the vending agreement. Effective December 31, 2003, the parties finalized a settlement of this matter which resulted in the termination of the vending agreement. Under the settlement agreement, the Company received a payment from Kodak of approximately $675,000. The agreement also provides for the Company to receive payments of $300 per vending machine from the supplier of the vending machines, as the machines are pulled from service at the supplier's sole cost and expense. Upon receipt of the $300 per machine, title to the vending machine transfers from Stitch to the supplier. Through December 30, 2004, the Company had received $65,100 for these machines. The agreement also provided that the supplier cancel a $124,000 obligation of Stitch for the purchase of vending machines.

This termination agreement resulted in a gain of $429,204 during the year ended June 30, 2004 and is reflected as Other income in the June 30, 2004 Consolidated Statement of Operations. This gain is comprised of the payment from Kodak of approximately $675,000 plus the cancellation of Stitch's obligation to the supplier of the vending machines of approximately $124,000 less a write-down of the carrying value of vending machines of approximately $367,000 and a net write-off of amounts due to and from Kodak of $3,000. The remaining vending machines are reported as assets held for sale in the June 30, 2004, as it was determined that the plan of sale criteria in FAS 144 was met in the termination agreement, at which time depreciation of these assets ceased. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company wrote off the remaining value of the vending machines that had not been sold during the year as a loss on contract settlement totaling $42,300.

15. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company's Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Plan") allows employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed six months of service to make voluntary contributions up to a maximum of 15% of their annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Through June 30, 2000, the Plan did not provide for any matching contribution by the Company, however, starting at the beginning of fiscal year 2001, the Company amended the Plan to include a Company matching contribution up to 10% of an employee's compensation. Effective January 1, 2003, the matching contribution changed to a dollar-for-dollar matching contribution on salary deferrals up to 3% of the employee's compensation then a fifty-cents on the dollar matching contribution on salary deferrals from 3% to 5%. The Company's contribution for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $114,000, $96,000 and $78,000, respectively.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

On May 11, 2006, the Company and Mr. Jensen entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement pursuant to which the term of Mr. Jensen’s employment with the Company was extended to June 30, 2009. Effective May 11, 2006, Mr. Jensen’s base salary was increased to $325,000 per annum. Mr. Jensen’s base salary had not been increased since January 1, 2004. 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. Mr. Jensen was granted the right (exercisable at any time prior to the 60th day following the commencement of each fiscal year) to elect to have one-half of his base salary for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2009 paid in shares of Common Stock rather than cash. Mr. Jensen has elected to receive shares in lieu of cash for one-half of his base salary for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. As a result of such election, 22,080 shares will be issued to him which will vest as follows: 5,520 on July 1, 2006; 5,520 on October 1, 2006; 5,520 on January 1, 2007; and 5,520 on April 1, 2007. Mr. Jensen was also granted 75,000 shares of Common Stock and an additional amount of options to purchase up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock at $7.50 per share. The 75,000 shares of Common Stock vest as follows: 25,000 on June 1, 2006; 25,000 on January 1, 2007; and 25,000 on June 1, 2007. The options vest as follows: 25,000 on May 11, 2006; 25,000 on June 30, 2007; and 25,000 on June 30, 2008. The options may be exercised at any time within 5 years of vesting. The Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge of $264,000 and $172,127 related to the grant of restricted Common Stock and Common Stock Options, respectively, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. See note 13 for additional option disclosures. All of the shares granted to or to be issued to Mr. Jensen under his employment agreement, and the shares underlying the options granted to Mr. Jensen, are not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and constitute restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

As previously provided in his employment agreement, upon the occurrence of a "USA Transaction" (as defined below), the Company will issue to Mr. Jensen 140,000 shares of Common Stock subject to adjustment for stock splits or combinations ("Jensen Shares"). The Jensen Shares have not been reserved for issuance by the Company and are not reflected or included in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis in this Form 10-K. Mr. Jensen is not required to pay any additional consideration for the Jensen Shares. At the time of any USA Transaction, all of the Jensen Shares are automatically deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any USA Transaction, and are entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with such USA Transaction.

The term USA Transaction is defined as (i) the acquisition of fifty-one percent or more of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the Company by any person, entity or group, or (ii) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of the Company, or the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Jensen Shares are irrevocable and fully vested, have no expiration date, and will not be affected by the termination of Mr. Jensen’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever. If a USA Transaction shall occur at a time when there are not a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall as a condition of such USA Transaction promptly take any and all appropriate action to make available a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock. In the alternative, the Company may structure the USA Transaction so that Mr. Jensen would receive the same amount and type of consideration in connection with the USA Transaction as any other holder of Common Stock.

Mr. Herbert was also granted 50,000 shares of Common Stock and an additional amount of options to purchase up to 18,000 shares of Common Stock at $7.50 per share. The 50,000 shares of Common Stock vest as follows: 16,667 on June 1, 2006; 16,667 on January 1, 2007; and 16,666 on June 1, 2007. The options vest as follows: 6,000 on May 11, 2006; 6,000 on June 30, 2007; and 6,000 on June 30, 2008. The options may be exercised at any time within 5 years of vesting. The Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge of $176,003 and $41,310 related to the grant of restricted Common Stock and Common Stock Options, respectively, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. See note 13 for additional option disclosures. All of the shares granted to or to be issued to Mr. Herbert under his employment agreement, and the shares underlying the options granted to Mr. Herbert, are not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and constitute restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

On May 11, 2006, the Company and Mr. DeMedio entered into an amendment to his Employment Agreement pursuant to which the term of Mr. DeMedio’s employment with the Company was extended to June 30, 2008. Effective May 11, 2006, Mr. DeMedio’s base salary was increased to $165,000 per annum. Mr. DeMedio was granted the right to elect to have one-half of his base salary for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, and June 30, 2008 paid in shares of Common Stock rather than cash. Mr. DeMedio was also granted options to purchase up to 7,000 shares of Common Stock at $7.50 per share. The options vest as follows: 2,334 on May 11, 2006; 2,333 on June 30, 2007; and 2,333 on June 30, 2008. The options may be exercised at any time within 5 years of vesting. The Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge of $16,068 related to the grant of restricted Common Stock Options during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. See note 13 for additional option disclosures. All of the shares underlying the options granted to Mr. DeMedio under his employment agreement are not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and constitute restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

Various legal actions and claims occurring in the normal course of business are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company. The Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In February 2005, a Complaint was filed against the Company by Swartz Private Equity, LLC (“Swartz”) alleging that the Company breached various agreements entered into with Swartz in August and September 2000 in connection with the so-called equity line of credit provided by Swartz to the Company. The Complaint requests money damages of $4,350,381 representing the alleged value of the warrants currently held by or claimed to be due to Swartz, money damages of $196,953 representing a termination fee allegedly due in connection with the termination of the agreements, and unspecified money damages relating to the alleged breach of the rights of first refusal.

The Company’s response to the Complaint denied any liability to Swartz and asserted various counterclaims against Swartz that seek money damages and other affirmative relief against Swartz. The Company’s response, among other things, states that the entire transaction is void and unenforceable because Swartz had failed to register as a broker-dealer under applicable Federal and state securities laws as required in order for Swartz to be engaged in the business of providing equity line products.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

On September 20, 2006, the parties agreed to fully settle this litigation. In this regard, we agreed to issue to Swartz 33,184 shares of our Common Stock. We also agreed to honor the cashless exercise of warrants by Swartz in 2003 for 6,816 shares of Common Stock. We had previously disputed that Swartz had validly exercised those warrants. We have granted to Swartz certain registration rights in connection with the 33,184 shares. The parties are currently preparing the settlement agreement and release implementing the settlement. The Company has recorded a contingent liability of $270,000 as of June 30, 2006 to accrue for the value of the 40,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued under the proposed settlement agreement.

On September 25, 2006, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2006-B Common Stock Agreement”) with Mr. Illes, an accredited investor. Mr. Illes agreed to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $15,000,000. Under the 2006-B Common Stock Agreement, the Company has the right at any time to require Mr. Illes to purchase Common Stock from the Company at the lower of: (i) $30.00 per share; or (ii) 90% of the closing bid price per share on the date prior to the date of the delivery by the Company to Mr. Illes of notice of his obligation to purchase. The Company can require Mr. Illes to purchase shares only if the shares have been registered by the Company for resale under the Act. The agreement also states that no additional shares shall be registered under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement. During any calendar month, Mr. Illes cannot be required by the Company to purchase Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price in excess of $800,000. The initial number of shares of Common Stock subject to this agreement is 1,000,000. The Company has the right in the future, if necessary, to register additional shares in order to ensure that a sufficient number of shares are available for purchase by Mr. Illes.

Fiscal year 2005 includes a $110,000 cash bonus for Mr. Kolls, cash bonuses totaling $11,000 for Mr. DeMedio, and a $20,000 cash bonus and $6,000 stock bonus for Ms. Jenkins.

(3) Prior to July 2003, Mr. Jensen's employment agreement provided that upon the occurrence of a USA Transaction he would receive that number of shares equal to seven percent of all of the then issued and outstanding shares on a fully converted basis. During July 2003, the Company and Mr. Jensen agreed to amend Mr. Jensen's employment agreement so that upon the occurrence of a USA Transaction he would receive only 140,000 shares. Under the new amended agreement, the 140,000 shares became subject to dilution (i.e., did not increase in order to reflect subsequent issuances by the Company of its shares). Under the prior agreement, the number of shares to be issued to Mr. Jensen was not subject to dilution (i.e., would be increased in order to reflect subsequent issuances by the Company of its shares) and was based upon the actual total number of shares outstanding at the time of a USA Transaction.

For example, if a USA Transaction occurred while there were 4,750,000 shares then outstanding on a fully converted basis, Mr. Jensen would have received 332,500 shares under his prior agreement rather than the fixed number of 140,000 shares under his new amended agreement.

During July 2003, the Company issued to Mr. Jensen an aggregate of 105,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, 25,000 shares of which were issued as compensation to Mr. Jensen, and 80,000 shares of which were issued to Mr. Jensen in connection with the employment agreement amendment described above. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company was required to value all of these shares at $44 per share or an aggregate of $4,620,000.

(4) Employment as Chief Financial Officer commenced on April 12, 2005.

(5) During May 2006, Mr. Kolls notified the Company that he was resigning as an employee effective as of June 30, 2006, and requested that his employment agreement not be renewed.

(6) Under the terms of Mr. Jensen’s existing employment agreement with us, he received an award of 75,000 shares of restricted stock upon his signing of the agreement in May 2006. These shares vest as follows: 25,000 on June 1, 2006; 25,000 on January 1, 2007; and 25,000 on June 1, 2007. As of June 30, 2006, based upon a price per share of $7.80, the closing bid price for our common stock as of such date, the value of the restricted stock held by Mr. Jesnen was $390,000. This stock will be treated like all other shares of our stock, including the right to receive any dividends declared on our common stock. The 25,000 shares that vested on June 1, 2006 are reflected in the Bonus column of the above table.

Under the terms of Mr. Herbert’s existing employment agreement with us, he received an award of 50,000 shares of restricted stock upon his signing of the agreement in May 2006. These shares vest as follows: 16,667 on June 1, 2006; 16,667 on January 1, 2007; and 16,666 on June 1, 2007. As of June 30, 2006, based upon a price per share of $7.80, the closing bid price for our common stock as of such date, the value of the restricted stock held by Mr. Herbert was $259,997. This stock will be treated like all other shares of our stock, including the right to receive any dividends declared on our common stock. The 16,667 shares that vested on June 1, 2006 are reflected in the Bonus column of the above table.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

On May 11, 2006, the Company and Mr. Jensen entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement pursuant to which the term of Mr. Jensen’s employment with the Company was extended to June 30, 2009. Effective May 11, 2006, Mr. Jensen’s base salary was increased to $325,000 per annum. 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. Mr. Jensen was granted the right (exercisable at any time prior to the 60th day following the commencement of each fiscal year) to elect to have one-half of his base salary for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2009 paid in shares of Common Stock rather than cash. Mr. Jensen has elected to receive shares in lieu of cash for one-half of his base salary for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. As a result of such election, 22,080 shares will be issued to him which will vest as follows: 5,520 on July 1, 2006; 5,520 on October 1, 2006; 5,520 on January 1, 2007; and 5,520 on April 1, 2007. Mr. Jensen was also granted 75,000 shares of Common Stock and an additional amount of options to purchase up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock at $7.50 per share. The 75,000 shares of Common Stock vest as follows: 25,000 on June 1, 2006; 25,000 on January 1, 2007; and 25,000 on June 1, 2007. The options vest as follows: 25,000 on May 11, 2006; 25,000 on June 30, 2007; and 25,000 on June 30, 2008. The options may be exercised at any time within 5 years of vesting. All of the shares granted to or to be issued to Mr. Jensen under his employment agreement, and the shares underlying the options granted to Mr. Jensen, are not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and constitute restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

As previously provided in his employment agreement, upon the occurrence of a "USA Transaction" (as defined below), the Company will issue to Mr. Jensen 140,000 shares of Common Stock subject to adjustment for stock splits or combinations ("Jensen Shares"). The Jensen Shares are not reflected or included in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis in this Form 10-K. 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.

On May 11, 2006, the Company and Mr. Herbert entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement pursuant to which the term of Mr. Herbert’s employment with the Company was extended to June 30, 2009.

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. Herbert was granted the right to elect to have one-half of his base salary for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2009 paid in shares of Common Stock rather than cash.

All of the shares granted to or to be issued to Mr. Herbert under his employment agreement, and the shares underlying the options granted to Mr. Herbert, are not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and constitute restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

The options vest as follows: 2,334 on May 11, 2006; 2,333 on June 30, 2007; and 2,333 on June 30, 2008. The options may be exercised at any time within 5 years of vesting. All of the shares underlying the options granted to Mr. DeMedio under his employment agreement are not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and constitute restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

Mr. Kolls entered into an employment agreement with the Company that required Mr. Kolls or the Company to deliver written notice of termination at least sixty days prior to June 30, 2006, or the agreement would be automatically renewed until June 30, 2007. During May 2006, Mr. Kolls notified the Company that he was resigning as an employee effective as of June 30, 2006, and requested that his employment agreement not be renewed for another year. The Company does not believe that Mr. Kolls’ resignation was timely. The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $165,000 per year. Mr. Kolls was entitled to a payment of $5,000 upon each of the following: (i) filing of a new patent application by USA for which he is listed as the inventor; (ii) granting of any such patent application; and (iii) issuance of a patent for any patent application that had been filed prior to April 20, 2004. Mr. Kolls is also entitled to receive such bonus or bonuses, as may be awarded to him by the Board of Directors. The Agreement required Mr. Kolls to devote his full time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company, and obligated 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. In the event that a USA Transaction (as defined in Mr. Jensen's employment agreement) occured, then Mr. Kolls had the right to terminate his agreement upon 30 days notice to USA.

(2) On June 30, 2006 there were 6,327,175 shares of Common Stock and 521,542 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. For purposes of computing the percentages under this table, it is assumed that all shares of issued and outstanding Preferred Stock have been converted into 5,215 shares of Common Stock, and that all of the options to acquire Common Stock which have been issued and are fully vested as of June 30, 2006 (or within 60-days of June 30, 2006) have been converted into 87,142 shares of Common Stock. For purposes of computing such percentages it has also been assumed that all of the remaining Common Stock Warrants have been exercised for 219,481 shares of Common Stock; that all of the Senior Notes have been converted into 669,635 shares of Common Stock; and that all of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2006 have been converted into 8,226 shares of Common Stock.

Does not reflect or include the shares issuable to Mr. Jensen upon a “USA Transaction”.

(3) Includes 2,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by his spouse. Does not include the right granted to Mr. Jensen under his Employment Agreement to receive Common Stock upon the occurrence of a USA Transaction (as defined therein).

Wellington Management has shared voting authority over 45,600,000 shares and shared dispositive power over 71,000,000 shares.

THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
2006-B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This 2006-B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made this 25 day of August 2006 by and between USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“USA” or the “Company”), and STEVE ILLES (“ILLES” or “Investor”).

Background

As more fully set forth herein, ILLES has agreed to purchase from the Company shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) for a purchase price not to exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000)(the “Commitment Amount”).

Agreement

NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1.Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, ILLES agrees to purchase from USA shares of Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price not to exceed the Commitment Amount. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by ILLES under this Agreement shall be as provided in subsection C. of this Section 1.

During the Put Commitment Period (as defined below), ILLES shall be required to purchase Common Stock from USA from time to time pursuant to the election of USA as described in subsection A. below.

A.  During the period of time from and after the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement (as defined in Section 7 hereof) and through August 30, 2009 (“Put Commitment Period”), USA shall have the right at any time and from time to time to require ILLES to purchase Common Stock from the Company at the lower of the following price: (i) Thirty Dollars ($30.00) per share (the “Base Per Share Price”); or (ii) 90% of the closing bid price per share on the date prior to the date of the delivery by USA to ILLES of the Commitment To Purchase Form described below. For example, if the closing bid price of the shares on the applicable date was $50.00, then the exercise price would be the Base Per Share Price (i.e., $30.00), and if the closing bid price of the shares on the applicable date was $20.00, then the exercise price would be $18.00. USA shall require ILLES to purchase Common Stock from USA hereunder by delivery to ILLES (prior to expiration of the Put Commitment Period) of the completed Commitment To Purchase Form that is attached hereto setting forth the purchase price of the Common Stock to be purchased by ILLES from USA (“Commitment Purchase Price”) and the aggregate number of shares to be purchased by ILLES. The Commitment Purchase Price shall be delivered to the Company by ILLES within seven (7) business days after delivery to ILLES of the Commitment To Purchase Form and shall be paid by ILLES either in cash or by certified check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company. ILLES shall not be required by USA to purchase any Common Stock from USA pursuant to this Section 1.A unless the Common Stock being purchased by ILLES from USA hereunder has been registered for resale by ILLES under the Act pursuant to an effective registration statement, all in accordance with Section 7.
 
 
1

 
 
B. Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein during any calendar month during the Put Commitment Period, ILLES shall not be required by USA to purchase under this Agreement Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of more than Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000).

C. The initial number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement shall be 1,000,000. In order to ensure that ILLES shall purchase Common Stock under this Agreement with a purchase price of up to the Commitment Amount, at any time and from time to time during the Put Commitment Period, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, USA shall have the right to increase the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Agreement by notice to ILLES.  

 
2

 
 
D. At the time of ILLES’ signing of this Agreement, USA shall pay to ILLES a due diligence/commitment fee consisting of 20,000 shares of restricted Common Stock (“Due Diligence Shares”).

2. Share Issuance. Upon the payment of the Commitment Purchase Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to ILLES and in the name of ILLES, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and ILLES shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on and as of the date of the delivery to the Company of and payment of the Commitment Purchase Price as aforesaid. If, however, at the date of payment of such Commitment Purchase Price, the transfer books for the Common Stock shall be closed, the certificates for the Common Stock shall be issued and ILLES shall become a record owner of such Common Stock on and as of the next date on which such books shall be opened, and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Common Stock.
 
3. Representations by ILLES. ILLES represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) ILLES has received, read and understands the provisions of each of the following: (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005; (ii) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005; (iii) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005; (iv) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006; (v) the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Commission on April 6, 2006 (File No. 333-132019); (vi) the risk factors incorporated by reference herein in Section 3(i) hereof; and (vii) the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on June 13, 2006, June 20, 2006, and July 26, 2006. All of the foregoing together with this Agreement shall be referred to herein as “Offering Materials”.

(b) ILLES has relied only upon the information presented and contained in the Offering Materials. ILLES has had the opportunity to ask of the person or persons acting on behalf of the Company any and all relevant questions in connection with any aspect of the Company including, but not limited to, the Common Stock offered by the Offering Materials and has received answers which ILLES considers to be reasonably responsive to such questions. ILLES has had the opportunity to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Offering Materials.

 
3

 
 
(c) ILLES understands that ILLES is subscribing for the Common Stock without being furnished any literature or prospectus in connection with the Offering other than the Offering Materials, and that the Offering of the Common Stock presented in the Offering Materials will not have been scrutinized by the securities administrator or similar bureau, agency, or department of the state of ILLES’ residence.

(d) ILLES understands (i) that the neither the Common Stock nor the Due Diligence Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of ILLES’ residence, (ii) except as provided in Section 7 hereof, ILLES has no right to require such registration or qualification, and (iii) that therefore ILLES must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because neither the Common Stock nor the Due Diligence Shares may be sold unless so registered or qualified or unless an exemption from such registration and qualification is available.

Although the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to register for resale the Common Stock and the Due Diligence Shares with the SEC, and to use its best efforts to keep such registration statement current and effective, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. In any such event, neither the Common Stock nor the Due Diligence Shares would be registered for resale under the Act, and could only be sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Act.

(e) The Common Stock is being purchased for ILLES’ own account for investment purposes only and not for the interest of any other person and is not being purchased with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof. Although the Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol USAT, ILLES also understands that there may not be any established public trading market for the sale of such securities.

 
4

 
 
(f) ILLES is able to bear the economic risks related to purchase of the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time (i.e., ILLES is able to afford a complete loss of the Common Stock ILLES is subscribing to purchase). ILLES’ net worth and assets are sufficient to enable ILLES to purchase shares of Common Stock from USA in the amount of the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) ILLES’ overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to ILLES’ net worth and ILLES’ investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(h) ILLES has adequate means of providing for ILLES’ current needs and possible personal contingencies. ILLES has no need for liquidity of the Common Stock subscribed to be purchased hereby and has no reason to anticipate any change in ILLES’ personal circumstances, financial or otherwise, which might cause or require any sale or distribution of such Common Stock subscribed to be purchased.

(i) ILLES recognizes that the purchase of the Common Stock involves a high degree of risk including those special risks set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" and “Forward Looking Statements” in Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-1 Registration Statement of the Company filed with the Commission on April 6, 2006 (No. 333-132019) all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
(j) ILLES understand that ILLES’ right to transfer the Common Stock and the Due Diligence Shares will be restricted as set forth on the certificate evidencing the Common Stock and the Due Diligence Shares. Such restrictions include provisions against transfer unless such transfer is not in violation of the Act, or applicable state securities laws (including investor suitability standards). ILLES is familiar with Regulation M promulgated under the Act and agrees to comply with his obligations thereunder including those relating to his status as an underwriter of the Common Stock and the Due Diligence Shares. ILLES is aware of the SEC staff’s position on short sales set forth in CF Tel. Interp. A.65.
 
 
5

 
 
(k) All information which ILLES has provided to the Company including, but not limited to, financial position, and status as an accredited investor, and knowledge of financial and business matters is true, correct and complete as of the date of execution of this Agreement. ILLES understands that the Company will rely in a material degree upon the representations contained herein.

(l) ILLES understands that a legend may be placed on any stock certificate representing the Common Stock and the Due Diligence Shares substantially to the following effect:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES STATUTES AND REGULATIONS. SUCH SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES STATUTES AND REGULATIONS, UNLESS, IN THE OPINION (WHICH SHALL BE IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION) OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(m) ILLES is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Act because ILLES’ individual net worth (or ILLES’ joint net worth with his spouse) on the date hereof exceeds $1,000,000.

(n) ILLES has obtained all necessary authorizations, registrations, permits, or consents, governmental or otherwise, required in connection with his entering into or performing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the Base Per Share Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set forth hereinafter:

 
6

 
 
a. In case the Company shall declare a Common Stock dividend on the Common Stock, then the Base Per Share Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the close of business on the date of record of said Common Stock dividend in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

b. If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the Base Per Share Price immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification, reverse stock-split, or combination thereof, the Base Per Share Price immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any such adjustment to the Base Per Share Price shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for such subdivision or combination. The Base Per Share Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to such increase or decrease, as the case may be, of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

c. Whenever the Base Per Share Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to ILLES a statement setting forth the adjusted Base Per Share Price determined as so provided.

5. Non-Assessable. The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued hereunder shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Common Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.

6. Securities Laws. As a condition to the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant this Agreement, ILLES shall execute and deliver such representations, warranties, and covenants, that may be required by applicable federal and state securities law, or that the Company determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock. In addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be reasonably required by the Company or its transfer agent.

 
7

 
 
7. Registration Provisions. The Company shall promptly prepare and file, at its sole cost and expense, and thereafter use its best efforts to have declared effective, an appropriate registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering all of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock initially covered by this Agreement and the Due Diligence Shares for resale by ILLES under the Act (the “Initial Registration Statement”). As provided in Section 1.C hereof, USA has the right from time to time to increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by this Agreement. Any such additional shares may be included in an amendment to the Initial Registration Statement, or in a separate additional registration statement.

The term “registration statement” whenever and as used in this Agreement shall mean and include for all purposes the Initial Registration Statement and any amendment or post-effective amendment thereto as well as any additional registration statement or amendment or post-effective amendment thereto covering any Common Stock subject to this Agreement.

The registration statement shall be prepared as a "shelf" registration statement under Rule 415, and the Company shall use its best efforts to have the registration statement maintained effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the effective date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (ii) the date that all of the Common Stock covered by this Agreement is resold by ILLES pursuant to the registration statement or otherwise.
 
At the Company’s request, ILLES shall furnish to the Company such information regarding ILLES, the Common Stock held by ILLES, and the intended method of disposition of such Common Stock to the extent required to effect the registration of the Common Stock. The Company shall include all information provided by ILLES pursuant hereto in the registration statement, substantially in the form supplied, except to the extent such information is not permitted by law. ILLES understands and agrees that ILLES will be listed and disclosed in the registration statement as an underwriter of the Common Stock as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Act and as such ILLES will have liability, among other things, under Section 11 of the Act.

 
8

 
 
All expenses (other than commissions and fees and expenses of counsel to ILLES) incurred in connection with the registration statement, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company.

8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the party’s respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be assignable by ILLES, in whole or in part, without the prior consent of the USA.

9. Indemnification. In the event any shares of Common Stock are included in a registration statement under this Agreement:

(a)  To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless ILLES, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which ILLES may become subject under the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)(or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements or omissions: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse ILLES for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by ILLES in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by ILLES; provided however, that the above shall not relieve the Company from any other liabilities which it might otherwise have.

 
9

 
 
(b)  ILLES shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each underwriter and each other person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) the Company or such other indemnified party, against any liability, joint or several, to which any such indemnified party may become subject under the Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which securities were registered under the Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission by ILLES to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by ILLES specifically for use therein. ILLES shall reimburse any indemnified party for any legal fees incurred in investigating or defending any such liability.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume, the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of one such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.
 
 
10

 
 
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraphs (a) and/or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and ILLES agree to contribute to the aggregate claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and ILLES may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and ILLES in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the Company or by ILLES. The Company and ILLES agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director and officer of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

(e) The obligations of the Company and ILLES under this Section 9 shall survive the resale, if any, of the Common Stock in a registration statement under this Agreement, and otherwise.

b.  The Amended and Restated Employment and Non-Competition Agreement dated May 11, 2006 between JENSEN and the Company, including any and all supplements, amendments, restatements, or modifications thereto made from time to time in the future (the "Employment Agreement"), are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The terms and conditions thereof shall be used to determine whether JENSEN is employed by the Company on any particular vesting date. Therefore, and as set forth in the Employment Agreement (as existing on the date hereof), JENSEN's employment would be considered terminated upon his death or disability under Section 5 thereof, or upon notice given to JENSEN by the Company under Section 4 thereof, or upon notice given by the Company or JENSEN under Section 1(a) thereof.

4.  Exercise. Upon the surrender of this Certificate and payment of the Option Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the registered holder of this Option and in such name or names as the registered holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock so purchased upon the exercise of any Option. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on and as of the date of the delivery to the Company of this Certificate and payment of the Option Price as aforesaid. If, however, at the date of surrender of this Certificate and payment of such Option Price, the transfer books for the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Option shall be closed, the certificates for the Common Stock in respect to which any such Option are then exercised shall be issued and the owner of such Common Stock shall become a record owner of such Common Stock on and as of the next date on which such books shall be opened, and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Common Stock.
 
5.  Partial Exercise. The rights of purchase represented by the Options shall be exercisable, at the election of the registered holder hereof, either as an entirety, or from time to time for any part of the Common Stock specified herein and, in the event that the Options are exercised with respect to less than all of the Common Stock specified herein at any time prior to the Termination Time, a new Certificate will be issued to such registered holder for the remaining number of Options not so exercised.
 
6.  Termination Time. All of the Options must be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Termination Time relating to any such Option. At and after the Termination Time relating to any such Option any and all unexercised rights hereunder relating to such Option shall become null and void and such Option shall without any action on behalf of the Company become null and void.
 
7.  Lost, Mutilated Certificate. In case this Common Stock Option Certificate shall become mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Certificate lost, stolen, or destroyed, a new Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to the Company.
 
 
3

 
 
8.  Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Options shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set forth hereinafter:
 
a.  In case the Company shall declare a Common Stock dividend on the Common Stock, then the Option Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the close of business on the date of record of said Common Stock dividend in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
b.  If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification, reverse stock split, or combination thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any such adjustment to the Option Price shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for such subdivision or combination. The Option Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to such increase or decrease, as the case may be, of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
c.  Upon any adjustment of the Option Price as hereinabove provided, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to any such adjustment, shall be changed to the number of shares determined by dividing (i) the appropriate Option Price payable for the purchase of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Option Price per share of Common Stock in effect immediately after such adjustment. Pursuant to this formula, the total sum payable to the Company upon the exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment shall remain constant.

d.  
 
i.  If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, person, or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, person, or entity, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, property, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, and provided no election is made by the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) hereof, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, person, or entity, as the case may be, shall agree that the registered holder of the Options shall have the right thereafter and until the Termination Time to exercise such Options for the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash, property, or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such Options might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to such subsequent adjustments which shall be equivalent or nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.
 
ii.  Notwithstanding subsection (i) hereof and in lieu thereof, the Company may elect by written notice to the registered holder hereof, to require such registered holder to exercise all of the Options remaining unexercised prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. If the holder of this Option shall not exercise all or any part of the Options remaining unexercised prior to such event, such unexercised Options shall automatically become null and void upon the occurrence of any such event, and of no further force and effect. The Common Stock issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such event, and shall be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding share of Common Stock in connection with such event. If an election is not made by the Company pursuant to this subsection (ii) in connection with any such event, then the provisions of subsection (i) hereof shall apply to such event.
 
 
5

 
 
iii.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, including Section 3 hereof, immediately prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, which constitutes a Change In Control, and provided that JENSEN is then employed by the Company, any Options which have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof, shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to any such event, and shall be subject to subsection (i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be.
 
For purposes hereof, the term "Change In Control" shall mean a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposition (including by reorganization, merger or consolidation), of a controlling interest (i.e., at least 51% of the voting power) of the then outstanding stock of the Company, or of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Other than in connection with a liquidation or dissolution, any such transaction shall not, however, constitute a Change In Control if following such transaction, the beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the entity or entities resulting from such transaction (including without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company, or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, either directly or through one or more subsidiaries).
 
e.  Whenever the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to the registered holder of this Option a statement signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Option Price and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option, determined as so provided.
 
f.  This form of Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment which is required pursuant to this Section. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance hereof; and any Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
 
 
6

 
 
9.  Reservation. There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the right of purchase represented by the Options. The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options shall be, at the time of delivery of the Certificates for such Common Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
10.  Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to any exercise of any Option and shall pay cash to the holder of any Option in lieu of any such fractional shares.
 
11.  No Right. The holder of any Options shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company prior to the date of issuance of the Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an exercise of any Option.
 
12.  Securities Laws. As a condition to the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to the Options, the holder of such Common Stock shall execute and deliver such representations, warranties, and covenants, that may be required by applicable federal and state securities law, or that the Company determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock. In addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be reasonably required by the Company.
 
13.  Transferability. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, all Options that have vested in accordance with Section 3(a) or Section 8(d)(iii) hereof and represented by this Certificate shall inure to the benefit of, and be exercisable by, any holder’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be fully assignable and transferable by any holder at any time and from time to time, including by will, intestacy or otherwise. Any such assignee or transferee shall be entitled to all the benefits hereof and shall be the holder hereof.
 
 
7

 
 
14.  Applicable Law. The Options and this Certificate shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws thereof regardless of its choice of law rules.

i.  If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, person, or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, person, or entity, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, property, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, and provided no election is made by the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) hereof, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, person, or entity, as the case may be, shall agree that the registered holder of the Options shall have the right thereafter and until the Termination Time to exercise such Options for the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash, property, or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such Options might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to such subsequent adjustments which shall be equivalent or nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.
 
ii.  Notwithstanding subsection (i) hereof and in lieu thereof, the Company may elect by written notice to the registered holder hereof, to require such registered holder to exercise all of the Options remaining unexercised prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. If the holder of this Option shall not exercise all or any part of the Options remaining unexercised prior to such event, such unexercised Options shall automatically become null and void upon the occurrence of any such event, and of no further force and effect. The Common Stock issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such event, and shall be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding share of Common Stock in connection with such event. If an election is not made by the Company pursuant to this subsection (ii) in connection with any such event, then the provisions of subsection (i) hereof shall apply to such event.

iii.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, including Section 3 hereof, immediately prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, which constitutes a Change In Control, and provided that HERBERT is then employed by the Company, any Options which have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof, shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to any such event, and shall be subject to subsection (i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be.
 
For purposes hereof, the term "Change In Control" shall mean a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposition (including by reorganization, merger or consolidation), of a controlling interest (i.e., at least 51% of the voting power) of the then outstanding stock of the Company, or of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Other than in connection with a liquidation or dissolution, any such transaction shall not, however, constitute a Change In Control if following such transaction, the beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the entity or entities resulting from such transaction (including without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company, or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, either directly or through one or more subsidiaries).
 
e.  Whenever the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to the registered holder of this Option a statement signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Option Price and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option, determined as so provided.
 
f.  This form of Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment which is required pursuant to this Section. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance hereof; and any Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

9.  Reservation. There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved out of the authorized and un-issued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the right of purchase represented by the Options. The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options shall be, at the time of delivery of the Certificates for such Common Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
10.  Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to any exercise of any Option and shall pay cash to the holder of any Option in lieu of any such fractional shares.
 
11.  No Right. The holder of any Options shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company prior to the date of issuance of the Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an exercise of any Option.
 
12.  Securities Laws. As a condition to the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to the Options, the holder of such Common Stock shall execute and deliver such representations, warranties, and covenants, that may be required by applicable federal and state securities law, or that the Company determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock. In addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be reasonably required by the Company.
 
13.  Transferability. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, all Options that have vested in accordance with Section 3(a) or Section 8(d)(iii) hereof and represented by this Certificate shall inure to the benefit of, and be exercisable by, any holder’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be fully assignable and transferable by any holder at any time and from time to time, including by will, intestacy or otherwise. Any such assignee or transferee shall be entitled to all the benefits hereof and shall be the holder hereof.
 
14.  Applicable Law. The Options and this Certificate shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws thereof regardless of its choice of law rules.

Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on and as of the date of the delivery to the Company of this Certificate and payment of the Option Price as aforesaid. If, however, at the date of surrender of this Certificate and payment of such Option Price, the transfer books for the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Option shall be closed, the certificates for the Common Stock in respect to which any such Option are then exercised shall be issued and the owner of such Common Stock shall become a record owner of such Common Stock on and as of the next date on which such books shall be opened, and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Common Stock.
 
5.  Partial Exercise. The rights of purchase represented by the Options shall be exercisable, at the election of the registered holder hereof, either as an entirety, or from time to time for any part of the Common Stock specified herein and, in the event that the Options are exercised with respect to less than all of the Common Stock specified herein at any time prior to the Termination Time, a new Certificate will be issued to such registered holder for the remaining number of Options not so exercised.
 
6.  Termination Time. All of the Options must be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Termination Time relating to any such Option. At and after the Termination Time relating to any such Option any and all unexercised rights hereunder relating to such Option shall become null and void and such Option shall without any action on behalf of the Company become null and void.
 
7.  Lost, Mutilated Certificate. In case this Common Stock Option Certificate shall become mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Certificate lost, stolen, or destroyed, a new Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to the Company.

8.  Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Options shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set forth hereinafter:
 
a.  In case the Company shall declare a Common Stock dividend on the Common Stock, then the Option Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the close of business on the date of record of said Common Stock dividend in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
b.  If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification, reverse stock split, or combination thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any such adjustment to the Option Price shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for such subdivision or combination. The Option Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to such increase or decrease, as the case may be, of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
c.  Upon any adjustment of the Option Price as hereinabove provided, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to any such adjustment, shall be changed to the number of shares determined by dividing (i) the appropriate Option Price payable for the purchase of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Option Price per share of Common Stock in effect immediately after such adjustment. Pursuant to this formula, the total sum payable to the Company upon the exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment shall remain constant.

d.  
 
i.  If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, person, or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, person, or entity, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, property, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, and provided no election is made by the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) hereof, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, person, or entity, as the case may be, shall agree that the registered holder of the Options shall have the right thereafter and until the Termination Time to exercise such Options for the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash, property, or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such Options might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to such subsequent adjustments which shall be equivalent or nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.
 
ii.  Notwithstanding subsection (i) hereof and in lieu thereof, the Company may elect by written notice to the registered holder hereof, to require such registered holder to exercise all of the Options remaining unexercised prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale.

The Common Stock issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such event, and shall be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding share of Common Stock in connection with such event. If an election is not made by the Company pursuant to this subsection (ii) in connection with any such event, then the provisions of subsection (i) hereof shall apply to such event.

iii.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, including Section 3 hereof, immediately prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, which constitutes a Change In Control, and provided that DEMEDIO is then employed by the Company, any Options which have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof, shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to any such event, and shall be subject to subsection (i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be.
 
For purposes hereof, the term "Change In Control" shall mean a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposition (including by reorganization, merger or consolidation), of a controlling interest (i.e., at least 51% of the voting power) of the then outstanding stock of the Company, or of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Other than in connection with a liquidation or dissolution, any such transaction shall not, however, constitute a Change In Control if following such transaction, the beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the entity or entities resulting from such transaction (including without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company, or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, either directly or through one or more subsidiaries).
 
e.  Whenever the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to the registered holder of this Option a statement signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Option Price and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option, determined as so provided.
 
f.  This form of Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment which is required pursuant to this Section. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance hereof; and any Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options shall be, at the time of delivery of the Certificates for such Common Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
10.  Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to any exercise of any Option and shall pay cash to the holder of any Option in lieu of any such fractional shares.

12.  Securities Laws.

8.  Reservation. There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved out of the authorized and un-issued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the right of purchase represented by the Options.

3. Exercise. Upon the surrender of this Certificate and payment of the Option Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the registered holder of this Option and in such name or names as the registered holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock so purchased upon the exercise of any Option. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on and as of the date of the delivery to the Company of this Certificate and payment of the Option Price as aforesaid. If, however, at the date of surrender of this Certificate and payment of such Option Price, the transfer books for the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Option shall be closed, the certificates for the Common Stock in respect to which any such Option are then exercised shall be issued and the owner of such Common Stock shall become a record owner of such Common Stock on and as of the next date on which such books shall be opened, and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Common Stock.
 
4. Partial Exercise. The rights of purchase represented by the Options shall be exercisable, at the election of the registered holder hereof, either as an entirety, or from time to time for any part of the Common Stock specified herein and, in the event that the Options are exercised with respect to less than all of the Common Stock specified herein at any time prior to the Termination Time, a new Certificate will be issued to such registered holder for the remaining number of Options not so exercised.
 
5. Termination Time. All of the Options must be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Termination Time. At and after the Termination Time, any and all unexercised rights hereunder shall become null and void and such Options shall without any action on behalf of the Company become null and void.
 
6. Lost, Mutilated Certificate. In case this Common Stock Option Certificate shall become mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution for, and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Certificate lost, stolen, or destroyed, a new Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to the Company.
 
2


7. Adjustments. Subject, and pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Options shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set forth hereinafter:
 
a. In case the Company shall declare a Common Stock dividend on the Common Stock, then the Option Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the close of business on the date of record of said Common Stock dividend in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
b. If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification, reverse stock split, or combination thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any such adjustment to the Option Price shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for such subdivision or combination. The Option Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to such increase or decrease, as the case may be, of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
c. Upon any adjustment of the Option Price as hereinabove provided, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to any such adjustment, shall be changed to the number of shares determined by dividing (i) the appropriate Option Price payable for the purchase of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Option Price per share of Common Stock in effect immediately after such adjustment. Pursuant to this formula, the total sum payable to the Company upon the exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment shall remain constant.

d. 
 
i. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, person, or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, person, or entity, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, property, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, and provided no election is made by the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) hereof, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, person, or entity, as the case may be, shall agree that the registered holder of the Options shall have the right thereafter and until the Termination Time to exercise such Options for the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash, property, or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such Options might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to such subsequent adjustments which shall be equivalent or nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.
 
ii. Notwithstanding subsection (i) hereof and in lieu thereof, the Company may elect by written notice to the registered holder hereof, to require such registered holder to exercise all of the Options remaining unexercised prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. If the holder of this Option shall not exercise all or any part of the Options remaining unexercised prior to such event, such unexercised Options shall automatically become null and void upon the occurrence of any such event, and of no further force and effect. The Common Stock issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such event, and shall be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding share of Common Stock in connection with such event. If an election is not made by the Company pursuant to this subsection (ii) in connection with any such event, then the provisions of subsection (i) hereof shall apply to such event.
 
e. Whenever the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to the registered holder of this Option a statement signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Option Price and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option, determined as so provided.

f. This form of Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment which is required pursuant to this Section. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance hereof; and any Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
 
8. Reservation. There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved out of the authorized and un-issued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the right of purchase represented by the Options.

12.  Securities Laws. As a condition to the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to the Options, the holder of such Common Stock shall execute and deliver such representations, warranties, and covenants, that may be required by applicable federal and state securities law, or that the Company determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock.

Upon the surrender of this Certificate and payment of the Option Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the registered holder of this Option and in such name or names as the registered holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock so purchased upon the exercise of any Option. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on and as of the date of the delivery to the Company of this Certificate and payment of the Option Price as aforesaid. If, however, at the date of surrender of this Certificate and payment of such Option Price, the transfer books for the Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Option shall be closed, the certificates for the Common Stock in respect to which any such Option are then exercised shall be issued and the owner of such Common Stock shall become a record owner of such Common Stock on and as of the next date on which such books shall be opened, and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Common Stock.
 
5. Partial Exercise. The rights of purchase represented by the Options shall be exercisable, at the election of the registered holder hereof, either as an entirety, or from time to time for any part of the Common Stock specified herein and, in the event that the Options are exercised with respect to less than all of the Common Stock specified herein at any time prior to the Termination Time, a new Certificate will be issued to such registered holder for the remaining number of Options not so exercised.
 
 
2

 
 
6. Termination Time. All of the Options must be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Termination Time relating to any such Option. At and after the Termination Time relating to any such Option any and all unexercised rights hereunder relating to such Option shall become null and void and such Option shall without any action on behalf of the Company become null and void.
 
7. Lost, Mutilated Certificate. In case this Common Stock Option Certificate shall become mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Certificate lost, stolen, or destroyed, a new Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to the Company.
 
8. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Options shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set forth hereinafter:
 
a. In case the Company shall declare a Common Stock dividend on the Common Stock, then the Option Price shall be proportionately decreased as of the close of business on the date of record of said Common Stock dividend in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
b. If the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, if the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification, reverse stock split, or combination thereof, the Option Price immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any such adjustment to the Option Price shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for such subdivision or combination. The Option Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to such increase or decrease, as the case may be, of outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
 
3

 
 
c. Upon any adjustment of the Option Price as hereinabove provided, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to any such adjustment, shall be changed to the number of shares determined by dividing (i) the appropriate Option Price payable for the purchase of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Option Price per share of Common Stock in effect immediately after such adjustment. Pursuant to this formula, the total sum payable to the Company upon the exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment shall remain constant.
 
d. 
 
i. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, person, or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, person, or entity, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, property, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, and provided no election is made by the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) hereof, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, person, or entity, as the case may be, shall agree that the registered holder of the Options shall have the right thereafter and until the Termination Time to exercise such Options for the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash, property, or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such Options might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to such subsequent adjustments which shall be equivalent or nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.
 
 
4

 
 
ii. Notwithstanding subsection (i) hereof and in lieu thereof, the Company may elect by written notice to the registered holder hereof, to require such registered holder to exercise all of the Options remaining unexercised prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. If the holder of this Option shall not exercise all or any part of the Options remaining unexercised prior to such event, such unexercised Options shall automatically become null and void upon the occurrence of any such event, and of no further force and effect. The Common Stock issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such event, and shall be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding share of Common Stock in connection with such event. If an election is not made by the Company pursuant to this subsection (ii) in connection with any such event, then the provisions of subsection (i) hereof shall apply to such event.
 
iii. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, including Section 3 hereof, immediately prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, which constitutes a Change In Control, any Options which have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to any such event, and shall be subject to subsection (i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be.
 
For purposes hereof, the term "Change In Control" shall mean a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposition (including by reorganization, merger or consolidation), of a controlling interest (i.e., at least 51% of the voting power) of the then outstanding stock of the Company, or of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Other than in connection with a liquidation or dissolution, any such transaction shall not, however, constitute a Change In Control if, following such transaction, the beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the entity or entities resulting from such transaction (including without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company, or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, either directly or through one or more subsidiaries).
 
 
5

 
 
e. Whenever the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to the registered holder of this Option a statement signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Option Price and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option, determined as so provided.
 
f. This form of Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment which is required pursuant to this Section. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance hereof; and any Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
 
9. Reservation. There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved out of the authorized and un-issued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the right of purchase represented by the Options. The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options shall be, at the time of delivery of the Certificates for such Common Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
10. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to any exercise of any Option and shall pay cash to the holder of any Option in lieu of any such fractional shares.
 
11. No Right. The holder of any Options shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company prior to the date of issuance of the Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an exercise of any Option.
 
12. Securities Laws. As a condition to the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to the Options, the holder of such Common Stock shall execute and deliver such representations, warranties, and covenants, that may be required by applicable federal and state securities law, or that the Company determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock. In addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be reasonably required by the Company.

13. Transferability. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, all Options represented by this Certificate that have vested in accordance with Section 3 or Section 8(d)(iii) hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be exercisable by, any holder’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be fully assignable and transferable by any holder at any time and from time to time, including by will, intestacy or otherwise. Any such assignee or transferee shall be entitled to all the benefits hereof and shall be the holder hereof.
 
14. Applicable Law. The Options and this Certificate shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws thereof regardless of its choice of law rules.

c.  Upon any adjustment of the Option Price as hereinabove provided, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to any such adjustment, shall be changed to the number of shares determined by dividing (i) the appropriate Option Price payable for the purchase of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Option Price per share of Common Stock in effect immediately after such adjustment. Pursuant to this formula, the total sum payable to the Company upon the exercise of the Options remaining unexercised immediately prior to such adjustment shall remain constant.
 
d.  
 
i.  If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, person, or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, person, or entity, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, property, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, and provided no election is made by the Company pursuant to subsection (ii) hereof, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, person, or entity, as the case may be, shall agree that the registered holder of the Options shall have the right thereafter and until the Termination Time to exercise such Options for the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash, property, or assets receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for the purchase of which such Options might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, subject to such subsequent adjustments which shall be equivalent or nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.
 
 
4

 
 
ii.  Notwithstanding subsection (i) hereof and in lieu thereof, the Company may elect by written notice to the registered holder hereof, to require such registered holder to exercise all of the Options remaining unexercised prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. If the holder of this Option shall not exercise all or any part of the Options remaining unexercised prior to such event, such unexercised Options shall automatically become null and void upon the occurrence of any such event, and of no further force and effect. The Common Stock issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such event, and shall be entitled to be treated as any other issued and outstanding share of Common Stock in connection with such event. If an election is not made by the Company pursuant to this subsection (ii) in connection with any such event, then the provisions of subsection (i) hereof shall apply to such event.
 
iii.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, including Section 3 hereof, immediately prior to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, which constitutes a Change In Control, any Options which have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to any such event, and shall be subject to subsection (i) or (ii) hereof, as the case may be.
 
For purposes hereof, the term "Change In Control" shall mean a sale, transfer, assignment, or other disposition (including by reorganization, merger or consolidation), of a controlling interest (i.e., at least 51% of the voting power) of the then outstanding stock of the Company, or of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Other than in connection with a liquidation or dissolution, any such transaction shall not, however, constitute a Change In Control if, following such transaction, the beneficial owners of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the entity or entities resulting from such transaction (including without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company, or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, either directly or through one or more subsidiaries).
 
 
5

 
 
e.  Whenever the Option Price and number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail to the registered holder of this Option a statement signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Option Price and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option, determined as so provided.
 
f.  This form of Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment which is required pursuant to this Section. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of this Certificate that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance hereof; and any Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for this Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
 
9.  Reservation. There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved out of the authorized and un-issued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the right of purchase represented by the Options. The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Options shall be, at the time of delivery of the Certificates for such Common Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
10.  Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to any exercise of any Option and shall pay cash to the holder of any Option in lieu of any such fractional shares.
 
11.  No Right. The holder of any Options shall not be entitled to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company prior to the date of issuance of the Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an exercise of any Option.
 
12.  Securities Laws. As a condition to the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to the Options, the holder of such Common Stock shall execute and deliver such representations, warranties, and covenants, that may be required by applicable federal and state securities law, or that the Company determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the issuance of such Common Stock. In addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be reasonably required by the Company.
 
 
6

 
 
13.  Transferability. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, all Options represented by this Certificate that have vested in accordance with Section 3 or Section 8(d)(iii) hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be exercisable by, any holder’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be fully assignable and transferable by any holder at any time and from time to time, including by will, intestacy or otherwise. Any such assignee or transferee shall be entitled to all the benefits hereof and shall be the holder hereof.
 
14.  Applicable Law. The Options and this Certificate shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws thereof regardless of its choice of law rules.
