Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We” or “Our”), was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992 and provides wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring and other value-added services principally to the small ticket unattended retail markets. Our ePort® technology can be installed and/or embedded into everyday devices such as vending machines, a variety of kiosks, and amusement and arcade machines and smartphones via our ePort Mobile™ solution. Our associated service, ePort Connect®, is a PCI-compliant, comprehensive service that includes simplified credit/debit card processing and support, consumer engagement services, as well as telemetry and machine-to-machine (“M2M”) services, including 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, 2013. 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 six-month periods ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014. The balance sheet at June 30, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated 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.

Strategies to drive growth have resulted in net income of $409,191 and $702,845 for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company had net income of $854,123 for the year ended June 30, 2013. Net income includes adjustments for changes to the fair value of our warrant liabilities, which are subject to secondary market conditions, and are 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 revenues, the Company will be required to use its cash and cash equivalents on hand, and its line of credit (see Note 4), and may 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 consolidated 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 December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, approximately $220,000 and $0, respectively, 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 2010-06 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.

USA Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes

A provision for income taxes of $6,912 and $13,823 (all deferred income taxes) was recorded for the three and six-months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. A provision for income taxes of $6,902 and $13,823 (all deferred income taxes) was recorded for the three and six-months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The provision for income taxes is not a function of nor related to the income before provision for income taxes for the periods 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 Company has determined that as of December 31, 2013, the realization of the deferred tax assets is not likely, principally due to a lack of earnings history. The Company will continue to monitor its earnings to determine whether a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset is appropriate. 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 December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, deferred tax liabilities of $54,068 and $40,245, respectively, were recorded for the potential future state and federal income tax effects for these basis differences.

Income (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.

2. FINANCE RECEIVABLES

Finance Receivables consist of the following:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2013		2013
	(unaudited)
Total finance receivables	$	459,713	$	525,118
Less current portion		112,902		116,444
Non-current portion of finance receivables	$	346,811	$	408,674

As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

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

●

Net income up 166% to $409,000 and earnings per share of $0.01;

●

Total revenue up 19% to $10.6 million;

●

Recurring license and transaction fee revenue up 17% to $8.7 million; and

●

Total connections to its ePort Connect service as of December 31, 2013 up 20% as compared to December 31, 2012.

Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 were $10,570,514, consisting of $8,671,085 of license and transaction fees and $1,899,429 of equipment sales, compared to $8,884,321 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, consisting of $7,403,241 of license and transaction fees and $1,481,080 of equipment sales. The increase in total revenue of $1,686,193, or 19%, was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $1,267,844, or 17%, and an increase in equipment sales of $418,349 or 28%, from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Revenue from license and transaction fees, which represented 82% of total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, is primarily attributable to monthly ePort Connect® service fees and transaction processing fees. Highlights for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 included:

●

Adding 7,000 net connections to our service, consisting of 17,000 new connections to our ePort Connect service in the quarter, offset by 10,000 deactivations, compared to 12,000 net connections added in the same quarter of fiscal 2013;

●

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 224,000 connections to the ePort Connect service compared to approximately 186,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of December 31, 2012, an increase of 20%;

●

Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of 30% and 35%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago; and

●

ePort Connect customer base grew 48% from December 31, 2012.

The increase in license and transaction fees was due to the growth in ePort Connect service fees and transaction dollars that stems from the increased number of connections to our ePort Connect service. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 224,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as compared to approximately 186,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of December 31, 2012. During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company added approximately 7,000 net connections to our network compared to approximately 12,000 net connections added during the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

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 December 31, 2013, the Company processed approximately 40.2 million transactions totaling approximately $69.1 million compared to approximately 30.9 million transactions totaling approximately $51.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an increase of approximately 30% in the number of transactions and approximately 35% in the value of transactions processed.

New customers added to our ePort® Connect service during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 totaled 475, bringing the total number of such customers to approximately 6,075 as of December 31, 2013. The Company added approximately 375 new customers in the quarter ended December 31, 2012. By comparison, the Company had approximately 4,100 customers as of December 31, 2012, representing a 48% increase during the past twelve months. The Company views the total installed base of machines managed by its customers, that have yet to transition to cashless payment, as a key strategic opportunity.We count a customer as a new customer upon the signing of their ePort Connect service agreement. When a reseller sells our ePort, we count a customer as a new customer upon the signing of the applicable services agreement with the customer.

The $418,349 increase in equipment sales was mainly a result of approximately $300,000 of revenue recorded under our ISIS Marketing Agreement during the quarter compared to $0 recorded in the same quarter a year ago, an increase of approximately $252,000 in sales of ePort® products, offset by a decrease of approximately $117,000 in sales of Energy Misers and by a decrease of approximately $17,000 in other product sales.

Cost of sales consisted of license and transaction fee related costs of $5,495,385 and $4,363,212 and equipment costs of $1,244,996 and $920,928 for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $1,456,241, or 28%, was primarily due to an increase in cost of services of $1,132,173 that stemmed from the greater number of connections to the Company’s ePort Connect service and increases in transaction dollars processed by those connections. The increase in total cost of sales was also attributable to an increase in cost of equipment sales of $324,068, or 35%, which was primarily due to work performed under the ISIS Marketing Agreement and an increase in sales of ePort® products, as a result of increased sales incentives offered during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012.

Gross profit (“GP”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $3,830,133 compared to GP of $3,600,181 from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $229,952, or 6%, of which $135,671 represents increases attributable to license and transaction fees GP and $94,281 of greater equipment sales GP. Overall gross profit margins decreased from 41% to 36% due to a decrease in license and transaction fee margins to 37%, from 41% in the prior fiscal quarter and by a decrease in equipment sales margins to 34% from 38% in the prior fiscal quarter. The decrease in license and transaction fees margins is largely attributable to the 10,000 deactivations by our customers during the quarter, as well as certain sales incentives.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $3,193,568 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, increased by $493,893, or 18%, from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. The overall increase in SG&A is attributable to increases of approximately $243,000 in employee and director compensation and benefits expense; $120,000 in professional services expense; $99,000 in travel and entertainment expense; and, smaller increases in other expenses totaling $32,000 net.

Other income and expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, primarily consisted of $60,405 of interest expense and $37,896 of non-cash expense for the change in the fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities. The primary factor affecting the change in fair value is the increase in the Black-Scholes value of the warrants from September 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013, which factored in an increase in the Company’s stock price as well as a decrease in its volatility.

The quarter ended December 31, 2013 resulted in net income of $409,191 compared to net income of $153,758 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an improvement of $255,433 from the prior corresponding fiscal quarter. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, net earnings per common share, basic and diluted, were $0.01, compared to $0.00 for the prior corresponding fiscal quarter.

Non-GAAP net income was $447,087, compared to non-GAAP net income of $557,393 for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net earnings 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 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.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Non-GAAP net income for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Three months ended
	December 31,
	2013		2012
Net income	$	409,191	$	153,758
Non-GAAP adjustments:
Fair value of warrant adjustment		37,896		403,635
Non-GAAP net income	$	447,087	$	557,393

Non-GAAP net income	$	447,087	$	557,393

Cumulative preferred dividends		-		-
Net income applicable to common shares	$	409,191	$	153,758
Non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares	$	447,087	$	557,393

Net earnings per common share - basic	$	0.01	$	-
Non-GAAP net earnings per common share - basic	$	0.01	$	0.02

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		34,136,884		32,734,394

Net earnings per common share - diluted	$	0.01	$	-
Non-GAAP net earnings per common share - diluted	$	0.01	$	0.02

Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding		34,222,731		33,468,336

As used herein, non-GAAP net income represents GAAP net income excluding costs relating to any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities. As used herein, non-GAAP net earnings per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and where diluted shares are required, adds back the preferred dividend since the conversion of the preferred shares are accounted for in the diluted share count.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $1,892,672, compared to $1,752,721 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Reconciliation of GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Three months ended December 31,
	2013			2012
Net income	$	409,191		$	153,758

Less interest income		(4,714	)		(21,661	)

Plus interest expense		60,405			25,016

Plus income tax expense		6,912			6,902

Plus depreciation expense		1,278,518			904,580

Plus amortization expense		-			185,600

Plus change in fair value of warrant liabilities		37,896			403,635

Plus stock-based compensation		104,464			94,891

Adjusted EBITDA	$	1,892,672		$	1,752,721

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense. 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 expense, stock-based compensation, as it does 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 (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). 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.

Six-months ended December 31, 2013 compared to six-months ended December 31, 2012

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

●

Net income up 264% to $703,000 and earnings per share of $0.01;

●

Total revenue up 20% to $20.7 million;

●

Recurring license and transaction fee revenue up 20% to $17.2 million; and

●

Total ePort Connect service base as of December 31, 2013 up 20% as compared to December 31, 2012.

Revenues for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 were $20,693,572, consisting of $17,178,129 of license and transaction fees and $3,515,443 of equipment sales, compared to $17,274,599 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, consisting of $14,309,598 of license and transaction fees and $2,965,001 of equipment sales. The increase in total revenue of $3,418,973, or 20%, was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $2,868,531, or 20%, and an increase in equipment sales of $550,442 or 19%, from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Revenue from license and transaction fees, which represented 83% of total revenue for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, is primarily attributable to monthly ePort Connect® service fees and transaction processing fees. Highlights for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 included:

●

We added 10,000 net connections to our service, consisting of 31,000 new connections to our ePort Connect service in the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, offset by 21,000 deactivations, compared to 22,000 net connections added in the same six-month period of fiscal 2013;

●

Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 of 31% and 35%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago; and

●

1,025 ePort Connect customers added in the first six-months, 28% more than were added in the same period a year ago, for 6,075 customers at December 31, 2013.

The increase in license and transaction fees was due to the growth in ePort Connect service fees and transaction dollars that stems from the increased number of connections to our ePort Connect service. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 224,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as compared to approximately 186,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of December 31, 2012. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company added approximately 10,000 net connections to our network compared to approximately 22,000 net connections added during the six-month period ended December 31, 2012.

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 six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company processed approximately 78.7 million transactions totaling approximately $137.0 million compared to approximately 60.2 million transactions totaling approximately $101.8 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, an increase of approximately 31% in the number of transactions and approximately 35% in the value of transactions processed.

New customers added to our ePort® Connect service during the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 totaled 1,025, bringing the total number of such customers to approximately 6,075 as of December 31, 2013. The Company added approximately 800 new customers in the six-month period ended December 31, 2012. By comparison, the Company had approximately 4,100 customers as of December 31, 2012, representing a 48% increase during the past twelve months. The Company views the total installed base of machines managed by its customers, that have yet to transition to cashless payment, as a key strategic opportunity. We count a customer as a new customer upon the signing of their ePort Connect service agreement. When a reseller sells our ePort, we count a customer as a new customer upon the signing of the applicable services agreement with the customer.

The $550,442 increase in equipment sales was a result of $300,000 of revenue recorded under our Isis Marketing Agreement and an increase of approximately $289,000 in sales of ePort® products, offset by a decrease of approximately $29,000 in sales of eSuds products and by a decrease of approximately $10,000 in other product sales.

Cost of sales consisted of license and transaction fee related costs of $10,904,848 and $8,555,572 and equipment costs of $2,375,820 and $1,974,564 for the six-months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $2,750,532, or 26%, was primarily due to an increase in cost of services of $2,349,276 that stemmed from the greater number of connections to the Company’s ePort Connect service and increases in transaction dollars processed by those connections. The increase in total cost of sales was also attributable to an increase in cost of equipment sales of $401,256, or 20%, was primarily due to an increase in sales of ePort® products, as a result of increased sales incentives offered during the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012.

GP for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 was $7,412,904 compared to GP of $6,744,463 for the previous corresponding six-month period, an increase of $668,441, or 10%, of which $519,255 represents increases attributable to license and transaction fees GP and $149,186 of greater equipment sales GP. Overall gross profit margins decreased from 39% to 36% due to a decrease in license and transaction fees margins to 37%, from 40% in the previous corresponding six-month period and by a decrease in equipment sales margins to 32% from 33% in the previous corresponding six-month period. The decrease in license and transaction fees margins is largely attributable to the 21,000 deactivations by our customers during the six-month period as well as certain sales incentives, and cost benefits achieved with a supplier that did not take effect until towards the end of the first quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $6,488,912 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, increased by $574,112, or 10%, from the same six-month period in the prior fiscal year. Included in the $5,914,800 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $328,000 in charges related to the 2012 proxy contest, related litigation and settlement.

Exclusive of the proxy contest, SG&A increased approximately $902,000, or 15%, in the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same six-month period a year ago. The overall increase in SG&A is attributable to increases of approximately $387,000 in employee and director compensation and benefits expense; $244,000 in professional services expense; $138,000 in travel and entertainment expense; and smaller increases in other expenses totaling $133,000, net.

Other income and expense for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, primarily consisted of $121,381 of interest expense and $181,201 of non-cash gain for the change in the fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities. The primary factor affecting the change in fair value is the decrease in the Black-Scholes value of the warrants from June 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013, which factored in an increase in the Company’s stock price as well as a decrease in its volatility.

The six-month period ended December 31, 2013 resulted in net income of $702,845 compared to net income of $192,897 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, an improvement of $509,948. After preferred dividends of $332,226 in each six-month period, net income (loss) applicable to common shares was $370,619 and $(139,329) for the six-months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As a result, net earnings per common share, basic and diluted, were $0.01 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to $0.00 for the prior corresponding six-month period.

Non-GAAP net income was $521,644, compared to non-GAAP net income of $461,399 for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Management believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net earnings 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 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.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income to Non-GAAP net income for the six-months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Six months ended December 31,
	2013			2012
Net income	$	702,845		$	192,897
Non-GAAP adjustments:
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative:
Proxy related costs		-			328,000
Fair value of warrant adjustment		(181,201	)		(59,498	)
Non-GAAP net income	$	521,644		$	461,399

Net income	$	702,845		$	192,897
Non-GAAP net income	$	521,644		$	461,399

Cumulative preferred dividends		(332,226	)		(332,226	)
Net income (loss) applicable to common shares	$	370,619		$	(139,329	)
Non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares	$	189,418		$	129,173

Net earnings (loss) per common share - basic	$	0.01		$	-
Non-GAAP net earnings per common share - basic	$	0.01		$	-

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		33,730,590			32,626,312

Net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted	$	0.01		$	-
Non-GAAP net earnings per common share - diluted	$	0.01		$	-

Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding		33,816,437			32,626,312

As used herein, non-GAAP net income represents GAAP net income excluding costs relating to the proxy contest and any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities. As used herein, non-GAAP net earnings per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and where diluted shares are required, adds back the preferred dividend since the conversion of the preferred shares are accounted for in the diluted share count.

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $3,346,006, compared to $2,483,428 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012. Reconciliation of GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the six-months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

	Six months ended
	December 31,
	2013			2012
Net income	$	702,845		$	192,897

Less interest income		(18,240	)		(41,827	)

Plus interest expense		121,381			48,023

Plus income tax expense		13,823			13,823

Plus depreciation expense		2,496,589			1,738,586

Plus amortization expense		21,953			371,200

Plus change in fair value of warrant liabilities		(181,201	)		(59,498	)

Plus stock-based compensation		188,856			220,224

Adjusted EBITDA	$	3,346,006		$	2,483,428

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,655,176 as a result of a net income of $702,845, non-cash charges of $2,629,649 and net cash used in the change in operating assets and liabilities of $677,318. Of the $2,629,649 of non-cash charges, the most significant during the six-month period were depreciation and amortization of assets and charges for the vesting and issuance of common stock for employee and director compensation, offset by the decrease in the fair value of warrant liabilities. The cash used in the $677,318 change in the Company’s operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by decreases in accounts and finance receivables, inventory and other assets.

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company used $4,568,587 for investing activities of which $4,568,222 related to the purchase of equipment for the JumpStart Program, including approximately $625,000 for the change in JumpStart equipment on hand in the six-month period ended December 31, 2013. Approximately 50% of gross new connections added during the six months ended December 31, 2013 were from our JumpStart program.

The Company obtained net cash of $2,587,410 through financing activities, $1,000,000 of which are net proceeds from the Line of Credit and cash proceeds of $1,812,462 from warrant exercises, offset by $177,677 for the repayment of debt and $47,375 related to the cancellation of common stock by our executive officers to satisfy income tax liability due in connection with common stock awards.

We experienced losses from inception through June 30, 2012, with net income for the year ended June 30, 2013 and net income continuing through the six-months ended December 31, 2013. Our accumulated deficit through December 31, 2013 is composed of cumulative losses amounting to approximately $197,600,000, 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 resulted in the strong growth in recurring revenue from license and transaction fees and the substantial improvement in GP dollars, the operating activities of the business are now providing cash to fund operations of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 was $3,346,006 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2,483,428 for the same six-month period a year ago. 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. We believe that, provided there are no material unusual or unanticipated non-operational expenses, achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA is sustainable, and will continue to increase, as our connection base increases.

For the three and six-months ended December 31, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was $1,743,352 and $2,655,176, respectively. The Company believes it will continue to generate positive cash flow from operations during the remainder of the 2014 fiscal year, and into the 2015 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 for use in the Company’s JumpStart Program. During the three and six-months ended December 31, 2013, the Company used cash of $2,493,247 and $4,568,222, respectively, in its JumpStart Program.

The Company anticipates using the JumpStart Program for approximately 55% to 60% of its anticipated gross connections in fiscal 2014 as a result of the potential growth in connections from the kiosk market, where many customers only require our Quick Connect™ Web service. The Company has efforts under way in sales, marketing, development and partnering efforts that are focused on securing connections from sources other than JumpStart, such as QuickConnect Web service, ePort Mobile and direct sales of its ePort hardware device.

The Company has four sources of cash available to fund and grow the business: (1) cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $6.7 million at December 31, 2013; (2) the $549,000 from warrant exercises received subsequent to December 31, 2013; (3) the anticipated cash generated from operations; and (4) $1 million available on the line of credit with Avidbank, provided we continue to satisfy the various covenants set forth in the loan agreement. Although the line of credit matures on June 21, 2014, we anticipate that we will be able to extend the maturity date of line of credit or be able to procure a new line of credit to replace the existing line of credit.

Therefore, the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents and available cash resources would provide sufficient funds through at least July 1, 2014 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 December 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 December 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.
