Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We” or “Our”), incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992, provides wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring and other value-added services principally to the small ticket unattended retail markets. Our ePort® technology, including the NFC-ready ePort® G8, can be installed and/or embedded into everyday devices such as vending machines, kiosks, and our eSuds™ technology is installed in washer and dryers. USA Technologies also provides other cashless acceptance technologies including its ePort Mobile™ for customers on the go, and QuickConnect™, an API Web service for developers. Our associated network service, ePort Connect®, is a PCI-compliant, comprehensive service that facilitates electronic payment options as well as telemetry and machine-to-machine (“M2M”) services, including wireless connectivity, all elements of payment processing, customer service and the ability to remotely monitor, control and report on the results of distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions. In addition, the Company provides energy management products, such as its VendingMiser® and CoolerMiser™, which reduce energy consumption in vending machines and coolers.

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 U.S. 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, 2012. 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 three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2013. The balance sheet at June 30, 2012 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 of $1,015,943 and $823,044 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013, the Company had incurred losses from its inception through June 30, 2012. Although the Company anticipates nearing profitability for the full 2013 fiscal year, profitability is not assured. The impact on profitability of future changes to the fair value of our warrant liabilities, which is subject to secondary market conditions, is not reasonably predictable. The Company’s ability to meet its future obligations is dependent upon the success of its products and services in the marketplace and the available capital resources. Until the Company’s products and services can generate sufficient annual cash flows, the Company will be required to use its cash and cash equivalents on hand, its line of credit, and may be required to raise equity capital to meet its cash flow requirements.

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 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 money market funds. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which may exceed federally insured limits at times.

At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, none of the cash and cash equivalents of the Company was 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.

USA Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Finance Receivables

The Company offers extended payment terms to certain customers for equipment sales under its Quick Start Program. Notes receivable or Quick Start leases are generally for a 36 or 60 month term. 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 note or lease payments as interest income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements based on the effective interest rate method.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2009-06 amends certain disclosure requirements of Subtopic 820-10. This ASU provides additional disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and for activity in Level 3. This ASU also clarifies certain other existing disclosure requirements including level of desegregation and disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2- Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3- Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available.

The Company’s financial instruments, principally cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s obligations under its long-term debt and credit agreements approximates their carrying value, as such instruments are at market rates currently available to the Company.

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.

Accounting for Equity Awards

In accordance with ASC 718, the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of the award and allocated over the vesting period of the award.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes

A provision for income taxes of $6,911 and $20,734 (all deferred income taxes) was recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013. The provision for income taxes is not a function of nor related to the loss before provision for income taxes of $1,009,032 and $802,310 for the three and nine-month periods, respectively, because the Company has significant operating loss carryforwards that are available to negate any taxable income that would create current liabilities for income taxes. The provision for income taxes relates to the amortization of indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill that are being amortized for income tax purposes but not for financial reporting purposes giving rise to basis differences in such assets between financial and income tax reporting.

The Company has substantial operating loss carryforwards and other items that create net deferred tax assets that have been offset by a valuation allowance as the realization of the deferred tax assets is not likely, principally due to a lack of earnings history. The deferred tax liabilities related to the amortization of the indefinite life assets are not subject to offset against deferred tax assets with finite lives. As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, deferred tax liabilities of $33,333 and $12,599, respectively, were recorded for the potential future state and federal income tax effects for these basis differences.

There was no provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share are 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 year plus the effect of potential common shares unless such effect is anti-dilutive.

Reclassification

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

2. FINANCE RECEIVABLES

Finance Receivables consist of the following:

	March 31,		June 30,
	2013		2012
	(unaudited)
Total finance receivables	$	495,431	$	542,847
Less current portion		113,485		206,649
Non-current portion of finance receivables	$	381,946	$	336,198

As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, there was no allowance for credit losses of finance receivables. As the Company collects monthly payments of the receivables from the customers’ transaction funds, the risk of loss was determined to be remote.

4. LINE OF CREDIT

On July 10, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and other ancillary documents (the “Loan Documents”) with Avidbank Corporate Finance, a division of Avidbank (the “Bank”), providing for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in an amount of up to $3.0 million (the “Line of Credit”). The Company intends to use advances under the Line of Credit towards the financing of growth initiatives like its JumpStart Program and other working capital needs.

The Loan Documents provide that the aggregate amount of advances under the Line of Credit shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $3.0 million, or (ii) 75% of eligible accounts receivable as defined in the Loan Documents plus 80% of the prior two months transaction processing revenues and networking service fees as defined in the Loan Documents, provided that the amounts advanced on account of such processing revenues and service fees shall not exceed $2,000,000 without the Bank’s prior consent, after the First Amendment entered into on January 2, 2013.

As a condition of the Bank entering into the First Amendment, the Company issued to the Bank warrants to purchase up to 45,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The warrants are exercisable at any time prior to December 31, 2017 at an exercise price of $2.10 per share. Upon the issuance of the 45,000 shares of common stock, the fair value of the warrants is $55,962 using a Black Scholes model, which was recorded as prepaid interest and included in other assets on the consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2013 and is being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the remaining term of the Line of Credit as amended in January 2013. Non-cash interest of $26,934 has been recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The outstanding balance of the amounts advanced under the Line of Credit will bear interest at 2% above the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal or 5% whichever is higher. Interest is payable by the Company to the Bank on a monthly basis, provided, that the minimum interest payable by the Company to the Bank with respect to each six-month period shall be $20,000.

4. LINE OF CREDIT (CONTINUED)

The Line of Credit and the Company’s obligations under the Loan Documents are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property. At the time of maturity all outstanding advances under the Line of Credit as well as any unpaid interest is due and payable. Prior to maturity of the Line of Credit, the Company may prepay amounts due under the Line of Credit without penalty, and subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, may re-borrow any such amounts.

On April 15, 2013, the Company and the Bank, entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement. The Third Amendment provides that, among other things, the aggregate amount available under the Line of Credit will be increased from $3.0 million to $5.0 million, and the maturity date of the Line of Credit will be extended for another twelve months, or until June 21, 2014.

The Third Amendment provides that the aggregate amount of advances now available to the Company under the Line of Credit cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $5.0 million, or (ii) 80% of the prior three months transaction processing revenues and networking service fees as defined in the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Documents contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Loan Documents also require the Company to achieve a minimum Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Loan Documents, measured on a quarterly basis. Prior to the Third Amendment, the Company was required to maintain a balance of unrestricted cash in accounts with the Bank of at least $3.0 million. The Third Amendment provided that if the amount of the Company’s monthly “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” including Jumpstart investments, as set forth in the Company’s monthly cash flow statements prepared in accordance with United States’ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (the “RML”) is negative, the Company must maintain a balance of unrestricted cash in accounts with the Bank plus the availability under the Line of Credit of at least six times the RML. If the RML is positive, then in lieu of the foregoing requirement, the Company must maintain a minimum ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least 1.00 to 1.00.

On April 29, 2013, the Company and the Bank entered into a Fourth Amendment (“Fourth Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement to change the RML from the monthly “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” including Jumpstart investments to the average monthly amount (based on the prior three months) of the Company’s “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” including JumpStart investments, as set forth in the Company’s monthly cash flow statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Loan Documents also contain customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, and bankruptcy and insolvency events, subject to grace periods in certain instances. Upon an event of default, the Bank may declare all of the outstanding obligations of the Company under the Line of Credit and Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, and exercise any other rights provided for under the Loan Documents. At March 31, 2013, the balance due on the Line of Credit was $2,000,000.

In October 2012, the Company adopted a plan pursuant to which up to 60,000 shares of Common stock would be awarded to employees based on various performance targets of the Company for the 2013 fiscal year. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $105,238 and $163,783 and issued 46,696 and 218,694 shares of Common Stock during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Line of Credit

On April 15, 2013, USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and Avidbank Corporate Finance, a division of Avidbank (the “Bank”), entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 21, 2012 previously entered into by them, as amended by a First Amendment thereto dated as of January 1, 2013, and by a Second Amendment thereto dated as of April 2, 2013 (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit facility (the “Line of Credit”). The Third Amendment provides that, among other things, the aggregate amount available under the Line of Credit will be increased from $3.0 million to $5.0 million, and the maturity date of the Line of Credit will be extended for another twelve months, or until June 21, 2014.

Prior to the Third Amendment, the aggregate amount of advances available to the Company under the Line of Credit could not exceed the lesser of (i) $3.0 million, or (ii) 75% of eligible accounts receivable as defined in the Loan Agreement plus 80% of the prior two months transaction processing revenues and networking service fees as defined in the Loan Agreement, provided that the amounts advanced on account of such processing revenues and service fees could not exceed $2.0 million without the Bank’s prior consent.

Prior to the Third Amendment, the Company was required to maintain a balance of unrestricted cash in accounts with the Bank of at least $3.0 million. The Third Amendment now provides that if the amount of the Company’s monthly “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” including Jumpstart investments, as set forth in the Company’s monthly cash flow statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (the “RML”) is negative, the Company must maintain a balance of unrestricted cash in accounts with the Bank plus the availability under the Line of Credit of at least six times the RML. If the RML is positive, then in lieu of the foregoing requirement, the Company must maintain a minimum ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least 1.00 to 1.00.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012

Results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 continued to demonstrate significant growth and improvements in the Company’s operations as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Highlights of year over year improvements include:

●

Total revenue up 19%;

●

Gross profit dollars up 32%

●

Recurring license and transaction fee revenue up 26%;

●

GAAP net loss of ($1.0) million (includes $1.3 million non-cash charge for change in fair value of warrants), from a GAAP net loss of ($0.5) million (includes $0.1 million benefit for fair value of warrants); and,

●

Non-GAAP net income of $293,011, up from a non-GAAP net loss of ($633,692) in the same quarter a year ago.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $8,980,804, consisting of $7,562,589 of license and transactions fees and $1,418,215 of equipment sales, compared to $7,527,051 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, consisting of $5,985,052 of license and transaction fees and $1,541,999 of equipment sales. The increase in total revenue of $1,453,753, or 19%, was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $1,577,537, or 26%, offset by a decrease in equipment sales of $123,784 or 8%, from the same period in the prior year.

Revenue from license and transaction fees is fueled primarily by monthly ePort Connect® service fees and transaction processing fees. License and transaction fee highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 included:

●

Revenue from license and transaction fees grew 26%, to approximately $7.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from $6.0 million for the same period a year ago. These recurring revenues represented 84% and 80% of total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively;

●

Gross profit margin improvement of approximately 4 percentage points to 41% for the third quarter fiscal 2013 compared to 37% a year ago;

●

Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled in the third quarter of 26% and 29%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago;

●

21%, or 425 more ePort Connect customers added in the current quarter than the prior year third quarter, for 4,525 customers at March 31, 2013; and

●

The increase in license and transaction fees was due to the growth in ePort Connect service fees and transaction dollars handled from the increased number of connections to our ePort Connect service. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 196,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as compared to approximately 148,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of March 31, 2012. During the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company added approximately 10,000 and 12,000, respectively, net connections to our network.

Pursuant to its agreements with customers, in addition to ePort Connect service fees the Company earns transaction processing fees equal to a percentage of the dollar volume processed by the Company. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company processed approximately 32.4 million transactions totaling approximately $54.5 million compared to approximately 25.7 million transactions totaling approximately $42.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of approximately 26% in the number of transactions and approximately 29% in the value of transactions processed.

It typically takes 30-60 days for a new connection to begin contributing to the Company’s license and transaction fee revenues. The Company counts its ePort Connect connections upon shipment of an active terminal to a customer under contract, at which time activation on its network is performed by the Company, and the terminal is capable of conducting business via the Company’s network and related services. An ePort Connect connection does not necessarily mean that the unit is actually installed by the customer on a machine, or that the unit has begun processing transactions, or that the Company has begun receiving monthly service fees in connection with the unit. Rather, at the time of shipment of the ePort, the customer becomes obligated to pay the one-time activation fee, and is obligated to pay monthly service fees in accordance with the terms of the customer’s contract with the Company. We anticipate that our license and transaction fee revenues would continue to increase if the number of connections to our network would continue to increase.

New ePort Connect customers added during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 totaled 425, bringing the total number of such customers to approximately 4,525 as of March 31, 2013. The Company added approximately 350 new customers in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. By comparison, the Company had approximately 2,850 customers as of March 31, 2012, representing a 59% increase during the past twelve months.

The $123,784 decrease in equipment sales was mainly a result of a decrease of approximately $137,000 in Energy products, offset by an increase of approximately $13,000 in ePort and other product sales. The $137,000 decrease in Energy products is directly attributable to selling fewer units during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 than during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Cost of sales consisted of cost of services for license and transaction fee related costs of $4,525,244 and $3,749,862 and equipment costs of $774,221 and $981,969, for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $567,634, or 12%, was due to an increase in cost of services of $775,382 and a decrease in equipment costs of $207,748. The increase in cost of services was predominantly related to increases in units connected to the network and increases in transaction dollars processed. Of the $208,000 decrease in equipment costs, $119,000 and $76,000 is directly attributable to decrease in number of Energy & ePort products sold, respectively, during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 than during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Gross profit (“GP”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $3,681,339 compared to GP of $2,795,220 for the previous corresponding quarter, an increase of $886,119, of which $802,155 represents increases attributable to license and transaction fees and $83,964 of greater equipment sales GP. Overall margins increased from 37% to 41% due to license and transaction fees margins having increased from 37% to 40% and by equipment sales margins having increased from 36% to 45%. Improved license and transaction fee margins are due to increased efficiencies stemming from new and/or renegotiated partnership agreements as well as a larger ePort Connect service base.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $3,003,231 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, decreased by $37,331, or 1%, from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Quarter over quarter, SG&A activity was fairly consistent.

Other income and expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, mostly consisted of $1,308,954 of non-cash charges for the change in the fair value (“FV”) of the Company’s warrant liabilities. Factors affecting the change in fair value include the increase in the Black-Scholes value (“BSV”) of the warrants and the decrease in the discount from the BSV to the FV due to the Company’s increased market capitalization (rising stock price during the quarter fueled the increase), and the decreasing volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. In the same quarter a year ago, the Company had a non-cash gain of $95,074 for the same warrant liabilities.

The quarter ended March 31, 2013 resulted in a net loss of $1,015,943 compared to a net loss of $538,618 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increased loss of $477,325 from the prior corresponding fiscal quarter. For the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.04 and $0.03, respectively.

Non-GAAP net income was $293,011, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $633,692 for the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per common share are important measures of USAT’s business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP (United States’ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current and future financial performance.

Reconciliation of net loss to Non-GAAP net income (loss) for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Three months ended

Non-GAAP net loss per common share (basic and diluted)	$	(0.00	)	$	(0.03	)

As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) represents GAAP net loss excluding costs relating to any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities. As used herein, non-GAAP loss per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $1,688,438. Reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Plus stock-based compensation		149,009			83,300

Adjusted EBITDA	$	1,688,438		$	336,029

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, and impairment expense on intangible assets. We have excluded the non-operating item, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because it represents a non-cash charge that is not related to the Company’s operations. We have excluded the non-cash expenses, stock-based compensation, and impairment expense, as they do not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is not required by or defined under GAAP. The presentation of this financial measure is not 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 or net cash used in operating activities. 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 are not a substitute for or a measure of the Company’s profitability or net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense.

Nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2012

Results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 continued to demonstrate significant growth and improvements in the Company’s operations as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Highlights of year over year improvements include:

●

Total revenue up 24%;

●

Gross profit dollars up 54%;

●

Recurring license and transaction fee revenue up 29%;

●

GAAP net loss of ($0.8) million (includes $1.2 million non-cash charge for change in fair value of warrants), from a GAAP net loss of ($2.4) million (includes $2.0 million benefit for fair value of warrants); and,

●

Non-GAAP net income of $754,412, up from a non-GAAP net loss of ($3,447,073).

Revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 were $26,255,403, consisting of $21,872,187 of license and transactions fees and $4,383,216 of equipment sales, compared to $21,114,397 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012, consisting of $16,988,179 of license and transaction fees and $4,126,218 of equipment sales. The increase in total revenue of $5,141,006, or 24%, was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $4,884,008, or 29%.

License and transaction fee highlights for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 included:

●

Revenue from license and transaction fees, which is fueled primarily by monthly ePort Connect® service fees and transaction processing fees, grew 29%, to approximately $21.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 from $17.0 million for the same period a year ago. These recurring revenues represented 83% and 80% of total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively;

●

Gross profit margin improvement of approximately 8 percentage points to 40% gross margins for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to 32% a year ago;

●

Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 of 23% and 26%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago; and,

●

36%, or 1,225 new ePort Connect customers added in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, for 4,525 customers at March 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 196,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as compared to approximately 148,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of March 31, 2012. During the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company added approximately 32,000 and 29,000 net connections to our network, representing a 4,000 connection increase, or 14%. JumpStart units represented approximately 80% and 50% of net connections added during the first nine months of the 2013 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively, which also contribute to license and transaction fee revenue.

Pursuant to its agreements with customers, the Company in addition to ePort Connect service fees earns transaction processing fees equal to a percentage of the dollar volume processed by the Company, which are included as licensing and transaction processing revenues in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company processed approximately 92.6 million transactions totaling approximately $156 million compared to approximately 75.3 million transactions totaling approximately $124 million during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012, an increase of approximately 23% in the number of transactions and approximately 26% in the value of transactions processed.

In addition, our customer base increased with approximately 1,225 new ePort Connect customers during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 bringing the total number of such customers to approximately 4,525 as of March 31, 2013. The Company added approximately 900 new customers in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012. By comparison, the Company had approximately 2,850 customers as of March 31, 2012, representing a 59% increase during the past twelve months.

The $256,998 increase in equipment sales was mainly a result of an increase of approximately $740,000 in ePort product sales, offset by a decrease of approximately $459,000 in Energy products. The $740,000 increase in ePort products was directly attributable selling more units during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 than during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012, as well as a $301,000 increase in activation fees on connections in the period compared to the prior year. In addition, we had approximately $250,000 net revenues under various special projects for customers. The $459,000 decrease in Energy products is directly attributable to selling fewer units during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 than during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012. Cost of sales consisted of cost of services for network and transaction fee related costs of $13,080,816 and $11,494,690 and equipment costs of $2,748,785 and $2,836,995, for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $1,497,916 was due to an increase in cost of services of $1,586,126, which was offset by a decrease in equipment costs of $88,210. The increase in cost of services was predominantly related to increases in units connected to the network and increases in transaction dollars processed. The overall decrease in equipment costs is predominately attributable to selling fewer Energy products, which was partially offset by selling more ePort units during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 than during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012.

GP for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 was $10,425,802 compared to GP of $6,782,712 for the previous corresponding nine-month period, an increase of $3,643,090, of which $3,297,882 represents increases attributable to license and transaction fees and $345,208 equipment sales GP. Overall margins increased from 32% to 40% due to license and transaction fees margins having increased from 32% to 40% and by equipment sales margins having increased from 31% to 37%. License and transaction fee margins increased due to improved efficiencies stemming from recent partnership agreements as well as a larger ePort Connect service base. The year ago period’s margin of 32% was negatively impacted by approximately $316,000 of costs associated with higher regulated debit interchange acceptance prior to the Company entering into its agreement with Visa (see following paragraph), as well as other actions it took to bring the cost of accepting debit transactions to pre-Durbin levels. The current period was not impacted by these higher interchange costs due to the extension of the Visa Agreement in October 2012.

On October 9, 2012, the Company and Visa U.S.A. Inc. entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the agreement that had been previously entered into between them on October 12, 2011 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the original one-year term of the Agreement has been extended until October 31, 2013, and will automatically renew for an additional year, or until October 31, 2014, unless either party would provide at least 60-days prior notice of non-renewal. Pursuant to the Agreement, Visa has agreed to make available to the Company reduced interchange fees for debit card transactions. These reduced interchange fees will allow the Company to continue to accept Visa’s debit card products during the term of the Agreement, as amended, without adversely impacting the Company’s historical gross profit from license and transaction fee revenues.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $8,918,030 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, decreased by $1,121,682, or 11%, from the same nine-month period ended in the prior fiscal year. Approximately $647,000 of this decrease was attributable to approximately $975,000 in charges related to costs associated with the investigation and separation of our former CEO during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012 not occurring in the March 31, 2013 nine-month period, offset by approximately $328,000 in charges related to the proxy contest and related litigation included in the $8,918,030 of SG&A expenses during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 and not in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012.

Outside of the proxy contest and related litigation expenses of the current year, offset by the former CEO separation costs of the prior year, SG&A expenses decreased an additional $474,682, or 5%, in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012. This decrease in expenses is due primarily to $320,000 decrease in employee compensation and benefit costs, mostly associated with the elimination of one executive position (our former CEO) in October 2011, and $160,000 of sales tax expenses in the prior year resulting from a state audit.

Other income and expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, mostly consisted of $1,249,456 of non-cash expenses for the change in the fair value (“FV”) of the Company’s warrant liabilities. Factors affecting the change in fair value include the increase in the Black-Scholes value (“BSV”) of the warrants and the decrease in the discount from the BSV to the FV due to the Company’s increased market capitalization (rising stock price during the quarter fueled the increase), and the decreasing volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. In the same period a year ago, the Company had a non-cash gain of $1,983,442 for the same warrant liabilities.

The nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 resulted in net loss of $823,044 compared to a net loss of $2,438,631 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2012, an improvement of $1,615,587 from the prior corresponding fiscal period. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.05 and $0.10, respectively.

Non-GAAP net income was $754,412, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3,447,073 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per common share are important measures of USAT’s business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current and future financial performance.

As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) represents GAAP net loss excluding costs relating to the proxy contest, the costs associated with the separation of the former CEO, any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities, and any charges for impairment of intangible assets. As used herein, non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $4,171,867 that includes approximately $328,000 of proxy related expenses. Reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, and impairment expense on intangible assets. We have excluded the non-operating item, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because it represents a non-cash charge that is not related to the Company’s operations. We have excluded the non-cash expenses, stock-based compensation, and impairment expense, as they do not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is not required by or defined under GAAP. The presentation of this financial measure is not 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 or net cash used in operating activities. 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 are not a substitute for or a measure of the Company’s profitability or net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,382,748 as result of a net loss of $823,044, which was offset by non-cash charges of $4,954,397 and net cash used in the change in operating assets and liabilities of $1,748,605. Of the $4,954,397 of non-cash charges, the most significant during the nine months were depreciation and amortization of assets, the increase in fair value of warrant liabilities, and charges for the vesting and issuance of common stock for employee and director compensation. The cash used in the $1,748,605 change in the Company’s operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of decreases of $1,792,479 in accrued expenses and $803,875 in accounts payable, offset by decreases in receivables, inventory, and other assets of $110,905, $685,114, and $51,730, respectively.

During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company used $6,383,297 for investing activities of which $6,320,514 related to the purchase of equipment for the JumpStart Program. The Company obtained net cash of $1,522,441 through financing activities, $2,000,000 of which are net proceeds from the Line of Credit and cash proceeds of $108,577 from warrant exercises, offset by $465,084 related to repayment of debt and $121,052 related to retirement of Common Stock. .

Until this fiscal year, the Company had incurred losses since inception; and, therefore, raised capital through equity offerings in order to fund operations. Our accumulated deficit through March 31, 2013 is composed of cumulative losses amounting to approximately $199,980,000, preferred dividends converted to common stock of approximately $2,690,000, and charges incurred for the open-market purchases of preferred stock of approximately $150,000.

As a result of the continued growth in connections to our ePort Connect service that has fueled the strong growth in recurring revenue from license and transaction fees and the substantial improvement in GP dollars, the operations of the business are now contributing to funding operations of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA during the current nine-month period was $4,171,867 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1,362,458 for the comparable nine-month period last fiscal year. The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the liquidity of operations and a measure of operational cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization of intangibles, fair value warrant liability changes and stock-based compensation from net income (loss). We believe that, provided there are no unusual or unanticipated material non-operational expenses, achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA is sustainable, and will continue to increase, as our connection base increases.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was $2,382,748. The Company believes it will continue to generate positive cash flow from operations during the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year, and into the 2014 fiscal year, as the Company adds connections to its existing base of connections, provided there are no material unanticipated or unusual non-operational events. The largest use of cash is for ePorts purchased during the first nine months of the fiscal year for use in the Company’s JumpStart Program. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, the Company used cash of $1,778,344 and $6,320,514, respectively, in its JumpStart Program.

The Company anticipated using the JumpStart Program for approximately 55% to 60% of its anticipated connections in fiscal 2013 as a result of the potential diversification from the kiosk market, where many customers only require our ePort SDK or Quick Connect Web service. The Company’s sales, marketing, development and partnering efforts are focused on securing connections from sources away from JumpStart, such as ePort SDK, Quick Connect web, ePort Mobile and direct sales of its ePort hardware device. However, since the actual percentage of total connections from JumpStart during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 have been higher than anticipated, and given the use of cash required by the JumpStart Program, the Company may choose to adjust JumpStart levels or modify the JumpStart Program, subject to contractual obligations, to ensure our cash resources stay at levels deemed necessary in order to fund the ongoing operational requirements of the Company.

For example, during April 2013, the Company entered into a mutually exclusive agreement with a new customer in a vertical market outside of the vending market. The connections to be added to the Company's ePort Connect Service related to this new customer would not require utilization of the Company's JumpStart Program.

The Company has three sources of cash available to fund and grow the business: (1) cash on hand of approximately $3.9 million at March 31, 2013; (2) the anticipated cash generated from operations; and (3) the availability of the line of credit with Avidbank, which in April 2013 the borrowing base was increased to $5 million, provided we continue to satisfy the various affirmative and negative covenants set forth in the loan agreement.

In addition to the above, as of March 31, 2013, the Company currently has outstanding 2,435,170 common stock warrants at an exercise price of $1.13 per share expiring on December 31, 2013. The warrants currently trade on NASDAQ under the symbol USATZ. Provided the Company’s current stock price remains above the exercise of $1.13, the exercise of these warrants could provide additional cash resources of up to $2,751,742 by December 31, 2013.

Therefore, based upon the above assumptions, the Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents and available cash resources as of March 31, 2013, would provide sufficient funds through at least July 1, 2013 in order to meet its cash requirements, including payment of its accrued expenses and payables, any cash resources to be utilized for the JumpStart Program, other anticipated capital expenditures, and the repayment of long-term debt.

Item 3. 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 long-term debt are generally fixed and its investments in cash equivalents are not significant. The Company has no exposure to market risks related to Available-for-sale securities. Market risks related to fluctuations of foreign currencies are not significant and the Company has no derivative instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, they conclude that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

There were no defaults on any senior securities. However, on February 1, 2013 an additional $332,226 of dividends were accrued on our cumulative Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The total accrued and unpaid dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2013 are $11,596,324. The dividend accrual dates for our Preferred Stock are February 1 and August 1. The annual cumulative dividend on our Preferred Stock is $1.50 per share.
