Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Accounting Policies

Business

USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We” or “Our”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. The Company is a leading supplier of cashless payment, remote management, reporting and energy management solutions serving the unattended point of sale market. Our networked devices and associated services enable the owners and operators of everyday, stand-alone, distributed assets, such as vending machines, kiosks, personal computers, photocopiers, and laundry equipment, the ability to offer their customers cashless payment options, as well as remotely monitor, control and report on the results of these distributed assets. As part of our Intelligent Vending® solution, our Company also manufactures and sells energy management products which reduce the electrical power cons umption of vending related equipment, such as refrigerated vending machines and glass front coolers, thus reducing the electrical energy costs associated with operating this equipment.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of USA Technologies, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2011. The balance sheet at June 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The Company has incurred losses from its inception through June 30, 2010 and losses have continued through December 31, 2010 and are expected to continue during fiscal year 2011. The Company's ability to meet its future obligations is dependent upon the success of its products and services in the marketplace and available capital resources. Until the Company's products and services can generate sufficient operating revenues, the Company will be required to use its cash and cash equivalents on hand, as well as raise capital to meet its cash flow requirements including the issuance of Common Stock and the exercise of outstanding Common Stock warrants.

Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated 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.

Reclassification
 
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was approximately $330,000 and $1,020,000, respectively, of cash received by the Company for transaction processing services which is payable to our customers. Included in accounts receivable are amounts for transactions processed with our card processers for which cash has not been received by the Company and included in accounts payable are amounts for transactions processed with our card processers and due to our customers, which are recorded net of fees due to the Company. Generally, contractual terms require us to remit amounts owed to our customers on a weekly basis.

Accounting Policies (Continued)

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods and packaging materials. The Company's inventory is stated at the lower of cost (average cost basis) or market.

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. Cash equivalents of approximately $964,000 and $2,972,000 at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively, are deemed for valuation purposes to meet level one criteria under the fair value hierarchy – having quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 given the Company’s losses in 2010 and 2009 and available net operating loss carryforwards. A benefit has not been recorded as the realization of the net operating losses is not assured and the timing in which the Company can utilize its net operating loss carryforwards in any year or in total may be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership of corporations.

Shared-Based Payment

The Company applies ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation” which requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Excluding the Long-Term Equity Incentive Program (the “LTIP”), the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $699 and $21,357 during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $8,802 and $61,931 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to common stock grants and the vesting of shares previously granted to employees and officers. There were no common stock options granted, vested or recorded as expense during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Related to the change in fair value and/or the vesting of shares under the LTIP the Company recorded a reduction of stock compensation expense and expense of $6,907 and $27,472 during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the LTIP stock compensation expense was $54,395 and $104,730, respectively.

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. No exercise of stock options, stock purchase warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock or cumulative preferred dividends was assumed during the periods presented because the assumed exercise of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

Finance Receivables

Finance receivables include notes and sales-type leases to accommodate extended payment terms for equipment purchases to certain customers. 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. Monthly payments for both types of receivables are collected by deduction from our customers’ vending and equipment transaction funds. The Company recognizes a portion of the note or lease payments as interest income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements based on the effective interest rate method.

Finance receivables consist of the following:

 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. For this purpose, forward-looking statements are any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to, those preceded by or that include the words, “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intend,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projected,” or similar expressions. Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected, include, for example:

 
general economic, market or business conditions;

 
the ability of the Company to generate sufficient sales to generate operating profits, or to sell products at a profit;

 
the ability of the Company to raise funds in the future through sales of securities;

 
the ability of the Company to obtain commercial acceptance of its products and services;

 
the ability of the Company to compete with its competitors to obtain market share;

 
whether our Company’s customers purchase ePort devices or our other products in the future at levels currently anticipated by our Company;

 
whether the Company’s customers continue to operate or commence operating ePorts received under the Jump Start Program or otherwise at levels currently anticipated by the Company;

 
the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient funds through operations or otherwise to repay its debt obligations, or to fund development and marketing of its products;

 
the ability of the Company to satisfy its trade obligations included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities;

 
the ability of the Company to predict or estimate its future quarterly or annual revenues and expenses given the developing and unpredictable market for its products and the lack of established revenues;

 
the ability of the Company to maintain its reduced cash-based SG&A expenses during the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year;

 
the ability of the Company to retain key customers from whom a significant portion of its revenues is derived;

 
the ability of a key customer to reduce or delay purchasing products from the Company; and

 
as a result of the slowdown in the economy and/or the tightening of the capital and credit markets, our customers may modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase our products or services, and suppliers may increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Actual results or business conditions may differ materially from those projected or suggested in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those described above. We cannot assure you that we have identified all the factors that create uncertainties. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forwar d-looking statements.
 
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 
Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009
 
Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 were $6,016,516 compared to $3,770,839 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. This $2,245,677 or 60% increase was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $1,681,904, or 81%, from the prior period as well as an increase in equipment sales of $563,773, or 33%, from the prior period. The increase in license and transaction fees was primarily due to the increase in the number of ePort® units connected to our USALive® network, and the associated fees generated by these connected units. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately 109,000 connections to our USALive® network (including approximately 11,000 third party devices that h ave been certified to be connected to our network, utilize the Company’s network protocol and/or software and have a contractual, non-exclusive license to the Company’s patents and other intellectual property) as compared to approximately 63,000 connections to our USALive network (including approximately 6,600 third party devices that have been certified to be connected to our network, utilize the Company’s network protocol and/or software and have a contractual, non-exclusive license to the Company’s patents and other intellectual property) as of December 31, 2009. During the December 31, 2010 quarter, the Company added approximately 21,000 connections to our network.

In regards to transaction fees, during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company processed approximately 15.9 million transactions totaling approximately $26.2 million compared to approximately 8.2 million transactions totaling approximately $15.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately 94% in transaction volume and approximately 75% in dollars processed. In addition, our customer base increased with approximately 200 new e-Port customers added to its USALive® network during the three months ended December 31, 2010 bringing the total number of such customers to over 1,400 as of December 31, 2010. Last year the Company added 175 new customers in the three months ended December 31, 2009. By comparison, the company had approximately 775 customers as of December 31, 2009, representing an 81% increase during the past twelve calendar months.

The $563,773 increase in equipment sales was a result of increases of approximately $416,000 related to ePort® products and fees and an increase of approximately $178,000 in sales of Energy Miser products, offset by a decrease in other equipment sales of approximately $30,000. The net increase in ePort® related sales revenue of $416,000 versus a quarter a year ago is attributable to increases of (1) approximately $686,000 in activation related fees, (2) approximately $192,000 of Visa support funding for installation and making operational Visa accepting ePorts, and (3) approximately $73,000 of revenue recognized under our May 2008 agreement with a customer; these increases were offset by a decrease in ePort® hardware sales of approximately $535,000. The decrease in hardware sale revenue is due mainly to a significant portion of the ePort® units shipped during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 were part of the Jump Start Program, for which the Company records a one-time activation fee, but does not record an equipment (hardware) sale. The JumpStart program began at the end of the quarter ended December 31, 2009, therefore most ePort® units shipped during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were sold to our customers and an equipment (hardware) sale was recorded. The Jump Start Program ended on December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Jump Start Program, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time activation fee upon shipment of the device, a monthly service fee, generally commencing the month after shipment, and transactional processing fees due in connection with the cashless activity generated by the device.

Cost of sales consisted of equipment costs of $843,683 and $1,080,878 and network and transaction services related costs of $2,684,812 and $1,680,565 for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $767,052 over the prior fiscal quarter was due to a decrease in equipment costs of $237,195, offset by an increase in network and transaction services related costs of $1,004,247. The decrease in equipment costs was a direct result of shipping more units under the Jump Start Program. The costs associated with the Jump Start units were recorded to Property and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The increase in network and transaction services costs was directly related to increases in units connected to the network and increases in processing volume, offset by decreases in thir d party supplier costs due to an amendment to a contract which occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
 
Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $2,488,021 compared to gross profit of $1,009,396 for the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, an increase of $1,478,625, of which $800,968 is attributable to equipment sales and $677,657 is attributable to license and transaction fees. The increase in gross profit from equipment sales is predominately due to the increase in activation fees on Jump Start connections versus the quarter a year ago as well as the Visa support funding recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The increase in gross profit dollars from license and transaction fees was generated by additional devices connected to our network and a decrease in third party supplier costs related to the contract amendment referred to above. Percentage based total gross profit (“GP”) increased ov erall from 27% to 41%, equipment sales GP increased from 36% to 63%, and license and transaction fees GP increased from 19% to 29%.
 

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) of $2,262,967, decreased by $2,594,399 or 53%, from the same quarter a year ago, due to proxy contest, litigation and settlement expenses incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 of approximately $1,520,000, net of insurance reimbursements of approximately $472,000 and $1,074,000 as a result of the Company’s recent expense reduction efforts. These reductions consisted of decreases in consulting and other professional services of approximately $654,000, compensation expenses of approximately $178,000, product development material costs of approximately $62,000, advertising and marketing costs of approximately $52,000 and other net decreases of approximately $128,000.

The consulting and other professional services decrease of approximately $654,000 was primarily due to reductions in research and development services ($172,000) due to the completion of projects, as well as reductions in costs of information technology ($166,000), accounting ($86,000), legal ($78,000) and other services ($152,000). The compensation expense decrease of approximately $178,000 was due to decreases of approximately $69,000 in salaries and commissions, approximately $47,000 in benefit costs, as well as a decrease of approximately $62,000 in non-cash charges related to the LTIP and other stock compensation expenses.

The quarter ended December 31, 2010 resulted in a net loss of $133,131 (including approximately $608,000 of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $4,245,356 (including approximately $530,000 of non-cash charges) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, an improvement of $4,112,215, or 97%. Net loss for the December 31, 2010 fiscal quarter was the lowest quarterly net loss since our shares became listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market in March 2007. For the December 31, 2010 quarter, the loss per common share was $.01 as compared to a loss per common share of $.19 for the prior corresponding quarter.

For the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $456,335 and an EBITDA loss of $3,818,295, respectively. The Company has achieved its stated goals of having at least 100,000 connections to its network by December 31, 2010 as well as positive EBITDA for the December 31, 2010 quarter. As stated above, at December 31, 2010 the Company had approximately 109,000 connections to its network.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement dated February 4, 2010 (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company, Shareholder Advocates For Value Enhancement (the “Committee”), and certain other parties, only if the Company did not (i) achieve positive EBITDA during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and (ii) have at least 100,000 connections to its network as of December 31, 2010, the Committee would have the right to name an additional nominee to serve as a director in addition to the two nominees presently named by them. As the Company has attained positive EBITDA for the quarter and had at least 100,000 connections to its network as of December 31, 2010, the Committee does not have the right to name an additional director.

EBITDA is defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This non-GAAP financial measure is not required by or defined under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), nor is the presentation of this financial measure intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net income or net loss of the Company. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with the Company's net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for or measure of the Company's profitability or net earnings. EBITDA is presented because as stated above, the Company had a stated goal of achieving positive EBITDA f or the quarter ended December 31, 2010, and EBITDA is utilized in the Settlement Agreement.


Important Relationship

In December 2010, the Company entered into a three year Strategic Partnership Agreement with a global, preeminent manufacturer of vending machines and payment systems (the “Manufacturer”). The Manufacturer also provides technology solutions for the vending and automatic merchandising industries. The Company has agreed to assist the Manufacturer to develop a cashless hardware solution that is integrated with the Company’s technology (the “Cashless Hardware Solution”) for the Manufacturer to sell to its customers. The Company also agreed to provide to the Manufacturer and its customers a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to certain Company patents and other intellectual property for use in the Cashless Hardware Solution solely for connecting to the Company’s network. Among other things, the Compa ny will act as and be recommended as the Manufacturer’s lead provider of cashless services to the Manufacturer’s customers that purchase the Cashless Hardware Solution. The Agreement is a nonexclusive arrangement, and the Manufacturer is permitted during the term thereof to develop or utilize other cashless solutions other than the Cashless Hardware Solution that do not utilize the Company’s technology and/or connect to the Company’s network. The Agreement provides that the license to certain Company patents and other intellectual property shall not cover any Cashless Hardware Solution that is not connected to the Company’s network or to any other cashless solution that is not connected to the Company’s network.



Six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009
 
Revenues for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 were $10,457,183 compared to $7,598,475 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This $2,858,708 or 38% increase was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $3,136,148, or 79%, from the prior period offset by a decrease in equipment sales of $277,440, or 8%, from the prior period. The increase in license and transaction fees was primarily due to the increase in the number of ePort® units connected to our USALive® network, and the associated fees generated by these connected units. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately 109,000 connections to our USALive® network (including approximately 11,000 third party de vices that have been certified to be connected to our network, utilize the Company’s network protocol and/or software and have a contractual, non-exclusive license to the Company’s patents and other intellectual property) as compared to approximately 63,000 connections to our USALive network (including approximately 6,600 third party devices that have been certified to be connected to our network, utilize the Company’s network protocol and/or software and have a contractual, non-exclusive license to the Company’s patents and other intellectual property) as of December 31, 2009. During the six month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company added approximately 27,000 connections to our network. In regards to transaction fees, during the six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company processed approximately 29.8 million transactions totaling approximately $50.7 million compared to approximately 15.5 million transactions totaling approximately $29.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately 92% in transaction volume and approximately 72% in dollars processed.

In addition, our customer base increased with approximately 350 new e-Port customers added to its USALive® network during the six months ended December 31, 2010 bringing the total number of such customers to over 1,400 as of December 31, 2010. Last year, the Company added 250 new customers in the six months ended December 31, 2009. By comparison, the company had approximately 775 customers as of December 31, 2009, representing an 81% increase during the past twelve calendar months.
 
The $277,440 decrease in equipment sales was a result of an increase of approximately of $75,000 related to Energy Miser products, offset by a net decrease of approximately $320,000 in sales of ePort® products and fees and a decrease of approximately of $32,000 in other equipment sales. The net decrease in ePort® related sales revenue of $320,000 is attributable to reduced hardware sales of approximately $1,282,000. The decrease in hardware sale revenue is due mainly to a significant portion of the ePort® units shipped during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 were part of the Jump Start Program, for which the Company records a one-time activation fee, but does not record an equipment (hardware) sale. The JumpStart Program began in December 2009, therefore most eP ort® units shipped during the six months ended December 31, 2009 were sold to our customers and an equipment (hardware) sale was recorded. The Jump Start Program ended on December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Jump Start Program, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time activation fee upon shipment of the device, a monthly service fee, generally commencing the month after shipment, and transactional processing fees due in connection with the cashless activity generated by the device. The decrease in hardware sales was offset by increases of (1) approximately $664,000 in activation related fees primarily related to Jump Start Program units, (2) $225,000 of Visa support funding for installation and making operational Visa accepting ePorts, and (3) approximately $73,000 of revenue recognized under our May 2008 agreement with a customer.
 
The Company entered into an Acceptance and Promotional Agreement with Visa USA, Inc. on August 16, 2010. Under the first program year of the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive up to $225,000 to be used to support the installation and making operational of up to 9,000 terminals, which accept the Visa brand, by no later than December 31, 2010. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $225,000 of revenue related to the support funding for installation and making operational of Visa accepting terminals. As required by the Visa agreement, the Company supported the installation and made operational at least 9,000 terminals by December 31, 2010.

Cost of sales consisted of equipment costs of $1,492,581 and $2,390,235 and network and transaction services related costs of $5,121,011 and $3,168,722 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $1,054,635 over the same period in the prior fiscal year was due to a decrease in equipment costs of $897,654, offset by an increase in network and transaction services of $1,952,289. The decrease in equipment costs was a direct result of shipping more units under the Jump Start Program. The costs associated with the Jump Start units were recorded to Property and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Jump Start Program started in December 2009. The increase in network and transaction services costs was directly related to increases in units connected to the network and in creases in processing volume, offset by decreases in third party supplier costs due to an amendment to a contract which occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
 
Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $3,843,591 compared to gross profit of $2,039,518 for the same period in the previous fiscal year, an increase of $1,804,073, of which $620,214 is attributable to equipment sales and $1,183,859 is attributable to license and transaction fees. The increase in gross profit from equipment sales is predominately due to the increase in activation fees on Jump Start connections as compared to the same six month period a year ago as well as the Visa support funding recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in gross profit dollars from license and transaction fees was generated by additional devices connected to our network and a decrease in third party supplier costs related to the contract amendment referred to above. GP increased overall from 27% to 37%, equipment sales GP increased from 34% to 56%, and license and transaction fees GP increased from 20% to 28%.


SG&A of $5,176,266, decreased by $3,246,877 or 39%, from the six month period a year ago, due to an approximate $1,727,000 decrease as a result of the Company’s recent expense reduction efforts and an approximate $1,520,000 decrease in proxy contest, litigation and settlement expenses incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2009. The Company’s expense reduction efforts of $1,727,000 consisted of decreases in consulting and other professional services of approximately $1,055,000, compensation expenses of approximately $289,000, product development material costs of approximately $137,000, advertising and marketing costs of approximately $73,000 and other net decreases of approximately $173,000.

The consulting and other professional services decrease of approximately $1,055,000 was primarily due to $456,000 of reductions in research and development services due to the completion of projects, as well as reductions in costs of information technology ($264,000), legal ($93,000), accounting ($87,000) and other services ($155,000). The compensation expense net decrease of approximately $289,000 was due to net decreases of approximately $180,000 in salaries and commissions, approximately $34,000 in benefit costs, as well as a decrease of approximately $111,000 in charges related to the LTIP and other non-cash compensation expenses, offset by an increase of approximately $36,000 in severance costs.

The six months ended December 31, 2010 resulted in a net loss of $2,019,743 (including approximately $1,221,000 of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $7,171,555 (including approximately $1,076,000 of non-cash charges) for the six months ended December 31, 2009, an improvement of $5,151,812, or 72%. Net loss for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 was the lowest six month net loss since our shares became listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market in March 2007. For the six month period ended December 31, 2010, the loss per common share was $.09 as compared to a loss per common share of $.36 for the prior corresponding six month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net cash of $2,168,294 was used by operating activities, primarily due to cash used related to changes in the Company’s operating assets and liabilities of $1,369,720 and the net loss of $2,019,743 offset by non-cash charges totaling $1,221,169, representing the vesting and issuance of common stock for employee compensation, bad debt recovery, loss on disposal of equipment and the depreciation and amortization of assets.

The $1,369,720 change in the Company’s operating assets and liabilities, was primarily the result of $3,823,972 of inventory used in the Jump Start Program during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and a decrease in accrued expenses, offset by a decrease in inventory unrelated to inventory used in the Jump Start program, decreases in accounts and finance receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets, and an increase in accounts payable.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company used $213,745 in investing activities related to the purchase of network equipment and $226,289 in financing activities mainly due to repayment of long-term debt.

The Company has incurred losses since inception. Our accumulated deficit through December 31, 2010 is composed of cumulative losses amounting to approximately $189,500,000, preferred dividends converted to common stock of approximately $2,700,000, and charges incurred for the open-market purchases of preferred stock of approximately $150,000. The Company has historically raised capital through equity offerings in order to fund operations.

As of December 31, 2010 the Company had $4,995,996 of cash and cash equivalents on hand, of which approximately $330,000 was cash received by the Company for transaction processing services which is payable to customers.

During the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring capital expenditures for property and equipment of approximately $290,000.

Our average monthly cash-based SG&A expenses during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $751,000. Based on our financial forecasts and related assumptions, including continued increases in sales of our ePort® units, the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010, should provide sufficient funds to meet the Company’s cash requirements, including capital expenditures and repayment of long-term debt, through at least July 1, 2011.

During July 2010, the Company signed a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, we have the right to sell to LPC, and LPC has the obligation to purchase from us, up to 4,851,408 shares of common stock over a 25 month period with an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $5 million. We are not required to sell any shares to LPC, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to LPC. The sale of any shares to LPC is subject to our registering the shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act’). During October 2010, a registration statement covering the shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the event that the Company would decide to increase its working capital or if actual operating results are not in accordance with our financial forecasts and related assumptions, the Company may sell shares to LPC under the purchase agreement.

As of the date of this report, we have not sold any shares to LPC and, subject to the qualifications described above, we do not anticipate selling any shares to LPC during the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year.

(e)           Uses of Allowance. Tenant acknowledges that except as expressly provided herein, no portion of the Allowance may be used for other than the Improvements to the Premises.  The Allowance may be used to pay for professional fees, including architectural fees, design or decorator fees incurred in connection with the Improvements.  No portion of the Allowance may be used for furniture or equipment for the Additional Space, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any payments out of the Allowance for costs incurred by Tenant that are not permitted hereunder.

6.             Condition of Premises.  Landlord hereby leases and Tenant hereby accepts the Premises in its “AS-IS” and “WHERE-IS” condition as of the date of this Amendment, and Landlord is not making, nor shall Landlord be deemed to be making, any representation or warranty as to the condition of the Premises, the Building and the improvements thereon, either express or implied, with respect to the Lease, the Premises or the Building.  Tenant acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord shall have no responsibility to make any improvements to the Premises or the Building in connection with this Amendment.

7.             Renewal Option.  Article 49  of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in its place and stead:

A.           Tenant shall have the right to renew the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional term of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”), by delivering its irrevocable written notice (“Tenant’s Renewal Option Notice”) of the exercise thereof to Landlord not earlier than fifteen (15) months, and not later than twelve (12) months, before the last day of the Term, time being of the essence. Tenant’s right to renew the Lease is conditioned upon the following requirements: (i) Tenant is the originally-named Tenant hereunder at the time of such exercise and at the commencement of the Renewal Term, the term “Tenant” shall mean and refer only to the originally-named Tenant under the Lease; (ii) Tenant shall not be in default under the term s and provisions of the Lease either at the time of such exercise or at the commencement of the Renewal Term; and (iii) Tenant is occupying, and using for its own business, the entire Premises at the time of such exercise and upon the commencement of the Renewal Term. Tenant shall lease the Premises during the Renewal Term in its then-current condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work to the Premises, or to provide Tenant with any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements.

B.           The Fixed Basic Rent payable during the Renewal Term shall be one hundred (100%) percent of the prevailing fair market value rental rate (the “Prevailing Rental Rate”) of the Premises in effect upon the commencement of the Renewal Term, as determined by Landlord.  The Prevailing Rental Rate shall be determined in accordance with the criteria set forth in this paragraph 7, and shall take into account all relevant market conditions then existing in connection with the leasing of comparable space (including quality, size, age, fit-out, utility and location) to renewing tenants in buildings in a geographic area which is similar to the Building.  Such factors shall include, but not be limited to, the creditworthiness of Tenant; any construction allowances or any rental concessions customarily given to tenants of similar creditworthiness as Tenant; and brokerage commissions. The procedure for establishing the Prevailing Rental Rate shall be as follows:

(i)             Not later than thirty (30) days after its receipt of a Tenant’s Renewal Option Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate (“Landlord’s Determination”).

(ii)            Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice setting forth Landlord’s Determination, time being of the essence, Tenant shall notify Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”) whether Tenant accepts or disputes Landlord’s Determination.  If Tenant’s Notice accepts Landlord’s Determination then Landlord’s Determination shall, for all purposes, constitute the Prevailing Rental Rate. If Tenant refuses or fails in a timely manner to give Tenant’s Notice, then Tenant will be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Determination.  If Tenant’s Notice disputes Landlord’s De termination, Tenant’s Notice shall include Tenant’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate (“Tenant’s Determination”) as determined by an independent real estate broker selected by Tenant who has at least ten (10) years’ experience in leasing and valuation of buildings in the geographic area of and which are similar in character to the Building (a “Qualified Appraiser”).

(iii)           If Tenant’s Notice disputes Landlord’s Determination as aforesaid, then within thirty (30) days after delivery of Tenant’s Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant (“Landlord’s Notice”) whether Landlord accepts or disputes Tenant’s Determination. If Landlord’s Notice disputes Tenant’s Determination, Landlord’s Notice shall include a second determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate (“Landlord’s Second Determination”), which shall be determined by a Qualified Appraiser selected by Landlord.  If Landlord’s Second Determination exceeds Tenant’s Determination by three (3%) percent or less, the Fixed Basic Rent shall be the average of Landlord’s Second Determination and Tenant’s Determination. If Landlord’s Second Determination exceeds Tenant’s Determination by more than three percent (3%), Landlord or Tenant shall apply to the office of the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) closest to the Building to designate a third Qualified Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) in accordance with the then prevailing rules, regulations and/or procedures of the American Arbitration Association, and if the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) is unable or unwilling to designate the Third Appraiser, then either party may commence a legal proceeding to have the Third Appraiser appointed. Any broker appointed pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) shall be a Qualified Appraiser.

(iv)           The Third Appraiser, using the criteria set forth in paragraph 7 B(ii) shall conduct such hearings and investigations as (s)he may deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of his or her designation as the Third Appraiser, choose either Landlord’s Second Determination or Tenant’s Determination, and such choice shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The Third Appraiser shall have no latitude to select other than the Landlord’s Second Determination or Tenant’s Determination.

(v)            Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration hereunder, including the expenses and fees of any Qualified Appraiser selected by it in accordance with the terms hereof, and Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the costs and expenses of the Third Appraiser.

C.           If the final determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate is not made on or before the first day of the Renewal Term, then pending such final determination Tenant shall pay, as the Fixed Basic Rent for the Renewal Term, an amount equal to Landlord’s Determination (or, if Landlord shall have given Landlord’s Second Determination, Landlord’s Second Determination).  If the payments made by Tenant during the Renewal Term prior to establishing the Prevailing Rental Rate were greater than the actual Fixed Basic Rent payable for the Renewal Term, then provided Tenant is not in default under any of the terms and provisions of the Lease, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, either credit the overpayment toward Tenant’s next monthly payme nt(s) of Fixed Basic Rent due hereunder, or refund such overpayment to Tenant.  If the payments made by Tenant during the Renewal Term prior to the establishing of the Prevailing Rental Rate, were less than the actual Fixed Basic Rent payable during the Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay the difference between the amount paid and the amount owed within thirty (30) days notice from Landlord.
 
 
D.           At Landlord’s election, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant evidencing any renewal of the Term and the determination of Fixed Basic Rent for the Renewal Term pursuant to this Section, but no such amendment shall be necessary in order to make the provisions of this Section effective.

E.           Tenant’s right to renew the Lease shall automatically terminate if: (i) the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or any portion thereof is terminated; (ii) Tenant assigns its interest in the Lease (except for an assignment that is approved by the Landlord under the terms of the Lease) or Tenant sublets all or any portion of the Premises; or (iii) if Tenant is in default of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease; .

F.           Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term of the Lease following the expiration of the Renewal Term.

G.           Except as set forth in this Section, the Lease and all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall remain in effect during the Renewal Term, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent and electricity charges as provided in the Lease.

8.             Reaffirmation of Certain Remedies.  Except as modified and amended by the terms of this Amendment, all of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties, waivers and agreements set forth in the Lease remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein.  Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby affirm, confirm, ratify, approve and remake the confession of judgment for possession provision of the Lease, as set forth at Section 29(b)(v) of the Original Lease, and specifically acknowledges that the same apply to this Lease, as amended, and are incorporated herein by this reference.

9.             Confirmation.  Tenant hereby represents, warrants, agrees and confirms that all conditions and covenants under the Lease to be performed by Landlord prior hereto have been satisfied, and, to Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord is not in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Lease.  Tenant shall have no right to setoff, counterclaim, or defenses with respect to any obligations of Landlord under the Lease.

11.           Brokers.  Tenant and Landlord represent and warrant to each other that neither party has dealt with any broker or agent in the negotiation for or the obtaining of this Amendment, with the exception of Jackson Cross Partners and Jones Lang LaSalle (collectively, the “Brokers”) and Tenant and Landlord hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims and any and all costs or liability for a commission or compensation claimed by any broker or agent who claims to have dealt with or have been employed by either Landlord or Tenant, as to the Lease or this Amendment, other than any claim made by the Brokers.  Landlord shall be resp onsible to pay Jackson Cross Partners pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Jackson Cross Partners, and the parties acknowledge that Jones Lang LaSalle shall be paid solely by Jackson Cross pursuant to a separate agreement between the Brokers.
