Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS

USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, “USAT”, or “Our”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. We are a provider of technology-enabled solutions and value-added services that facilitate electronic payment transactions primarily within the unattended Point of Sale (“POS”) market. We are a leading provider in the small ticket, beverage and food vending industry and are expanding our solutions and services to other unattended market segments, such as amusement, commercial laundry, kiosk, and others. Since our founding, we have designed and marketed systems and solutions that facilitate electronic payment options, as well as telemetry and machine-to-machine (“M2M”) services, which include the ability to remotely monitor, control, and report on the results of distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions. Historically, these distributed assets have relied on cash for payment in the form of coins or bills, whereas, our systems allow them to accept cashless payments such as through the use of credit or debit cards or other emerging contactless forms, such as mobile payment.

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, 2014. 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, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015. The balance sheet at June 30, 2014 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.

The Company had a net loss of $566,610 and $888,481 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The Company had net income of $27,530,652 for the year ended June 30, 2014. Included in net income for the year ended June 30, 2014 was a benefit for income taxes of $27,255,398. Net income (loss) 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 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 or debt financing.

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.

OUT-OF-PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded an approximately $747,000 out-of-period decrease in cost of equipment and accounts payable that affected our balance sheet and results of operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The adjustment was identified during our review of accounts payable. Management evaluated the effect of the adjustment on the Company’s financial statements based on SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99 and SAB 108 and concluded that it was immaterial to the current and prior year’s financial statements.

CASH

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

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 QuickStart Program. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification® (“ASC”) Topic 840, “Leases”, agreements under the QuickStart Program qualify for sales-type lease accounting. Accordingly, the future minimum lease payments are classified as finance receivables in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. QuickStart leases are generally for a sixty 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.

In February 2015, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “QS Sale Agreement”) with an equipment leasing company related to the Company’s QuickStart Program. Under the QS Sale Agreement, the Company received funds in exchange for assigning to the leasing company its rights to all of the future lease payments under certain existing QuickStart leases between the Company and its customers. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, “Transfer of Leased Property”, the Company accounts for each QS Sale transaction as a secured borrowing, as such, the proceeds received by the Company are recorded as a financing obligation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and interest expense is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations over the term of the financing. At the same time, the finance receivables related to the QS Sale Agreement remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and interest revenue is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations over the term of the QuickStart leases. Under a separate Vendor Agreement between the Company and the same equipment leasing company, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Company may in the future sell its ePort equipment to the leasing company, and the leasing company would enter into a QuickStart lease directly with the customer.

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 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, 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale or QuickStart lease of equipment is recognized on the terms of freight-on-board shipping point. Activation fee revenue is recognized when the Company’s cashless payment device is initially activated for use on the Company network. Transaction processing revenue is recognized upon the usage of the Company’s cashless payment and control network. License fees for access to the Company’s devices and network services are recognized on a monthly basis. In all cases, revenue is only recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company estimates an allowance for product returns at the date of sale.

EQUIPMENT RENTAL

The Company offers its customers a rental program for its ePort devices, the JumpStart Program (“JumpStart”). JumpStart terms are typically 36 months and are cancellable with thirty to sixty days’ written notice. In accordance with ASC 840, “Leases”, the Company classifies the rental agreements as operating leases, with service fee revenue related to the leases included in license and transaction fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cost for the JumpStart revenues, which consists of depreciation expense on the JumpStart equipment, is included in cost of services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ePort equipment utilized by the JumpStart Program is included in property and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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.

INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods.

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general and administrative expenses. No interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued or incurred during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Basic earnings (loss) 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.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Company held no Level 1 or Level 2 financial instruments.

As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the fair values of the Company’s Level 3 financial instrument totaled $1,240,996 and $585,209, respectively. The Level 3 financial instrument consists of common stock warrants issued by the Company in March 2011, which include features requiring liability treatment of the warrants. The fair value of warrants issued in March 2011 to purchase 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock is based on valuations performed by an independent third party valuation firm. The fair value was determined using proprietary valuation models using the quality of the underlying securities of the warrants, restrictions on the warrants and security underlying the warrants, time restrictions and precedent sale transactions completed in the secondary market or in other private transactions. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between level 1, level 2, or level 3 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

7. INCOME TAXES

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, an income tax provision of $137,820 and $179,705, respectively, was recorded; of those amounts, $395,605 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was due to the decrease in the applicable tax rate utilized to tax effect the deferred tax assets that was caused by a state income tax law change. The remaining benefit of $215,900 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was based upon loss before provision for income taxes using an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 64% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 and the effect of a change in estimated state income tax rates, the effect of which was treated discretely.

7. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company has significant deferred tax assets, a substantial amount of which result from operating loss carryforwards. In periods prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company had determined that it was more likely than not that the benefit of its deferred tax assets would not be realized and recorded a full valuation allowance against such assets. As of March 31, 2014 the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would realize a substantial portion of its deferred tax assets and reduced its valuation allowance by $26,713,897.

The reduction of the $26,713,897 in valuation allowances is reflected as an income tax benefit in the provision for income taxes for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2014. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 also reflects a benefit of $13,823 which represents the provision for income taxes recorded through December 31, 2013 relating to amortization of indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill for income tax purposes and not subject to offset against finite life assets when full valuation allowances were reflected against deferred tax assets.

8. COMMON STOCK, COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)

On August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the 2015 LTI Stock Plan covering Stephen P. Herbert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and David M. DeMedio, Chief Financial Officer. The 2015 LTI Stock Plan provides that each executive officer would be awarded shares of common stock of the Company in the event that certain metrics relating to the Company’s 2015 fiscal year would result in specified ranges of year-over-year percentage growth. The metrics are total number of connections as of June 30, 2015 as compared to total number of connections as of June 30, 2014 and adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2015 fiscal year as compared to adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2014 fiscal year.

If none of the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not be awarded any shares. If all of the year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: Stephen P. Herbert – $341,227 (100% of base salary); and David M. DeMedio – $178,406 (75% of base salary). If all of the maximum distinguished year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: Mr. Herbert – $682,454 (200% of base salary); and Mr. DeMedio – $356,812 (150% of base salary). Assuming the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the award would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric. The shares awarded under the 2015 LTI Stock Plan would vest as follows: one-third at the time of issuance (June 30, 2015); one-third on the first anniversary of issuance; and one-third on the second anniversary of issuance. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $73,030 and $128,619 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, on account of the 2015 LTI Stock Plan.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, non-executive employees of the Company cancelled 31,899 shares of Common Stock to satisfy $61,987 of payroll tax obligations resulting from share based compensation.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, executive officers exercised their rights to cancel shares of Common Stock awarded to them under prior employment agreements and the Special Equity Plan granted to an executive officer in September 2012 for the payment of payroll taxes, including 13,796 and 42,354 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to satisfy $27,731 and $75,106 of related payroll obligations, respectively.

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the stock options it grants using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company’s assumption for expected volatility is based on its historical volatility data related to market trading of its own common stock. The Company bases its assumptions for expected life of the new stock option grants on the life of the option granted, and if relevant, its analysis of the historical exercise patterns of its stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on dividends expected to be paid over the expected life of the stock option. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined by using the U.S. Treasury rates of the same period as the expected option term of each stock option.

On August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors awarded options to purchase common stock under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option Incentive Plan to each of Messrs. Herbert and DeMedio.

Mr. Herbert was awarded incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code), to purchase up to 55,555 shares at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The options vest on September 1, 2015, and expire if not exercised prior to September 1, 2021. Mr. Herbert was also awarded non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 150,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The options vest as follows: one-third on September 1, 2015; one-third on September 1, 2016; and one-third on September 1, 2017. The options expire if not exercised prior to September 1, 2021.

In January 2015, various non-executive employees were awarded options to purchase a total of 85,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option Incentive Plan.

The fair value of options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was estimated at the grant date using the following weighted average assumptions:


	August 2014			January 2015
Expected volatility		79	%		78	%
Expected life		7 years			7 years
Expected dividends		0.00	%		0.00	%

On August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the Fiscal Year 2015 Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 STI Plan”) covering Stephen P. Herbert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and David M. DeMedio, Chief Financial Officer.

The 2015 STI Plan provides that each executive officer would earn a cash bonus in the event that the Company achieved during the 2015 fiscal year certain annual financial goals and certain annual specific performance goals relating to the executive officer which are to be established by the Compensation Committee.

If none of the minimum threshold target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not earn a cash bonus.

If all of the maximum distinguished target goals are achieved, the executive officers would earn a cash bonus as follows: Mr. Herbert – $273,000 (80% of base salary); and Mr. DeMedio – $118,938 (50% of base salary). Assuming the minimum threshold target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the amount of the cash bonus to be earned would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the bonus would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded expense of $41,040 and $87,238 and a corresponding liability, respectively, for the 2015 STI Plan.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014

Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 continued to demonstrate growth in the Company’s revenues and connections to its service as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Highlights of year over year improvements include:

●

Total revenue up 47% to $15.4 million;

●

Recurring license and transaction fee revenue up 23% to $11.1 million; and

●

Total connections to its ePort Connect service base as of March 31, 2015 up 24% as compared to March 31, 2014.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $15,357,740, consisting of $11,059,846 of license and transaction fees and $4,297,894 of equipment sales, compared to $10,443,932 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, consisting of $8,999,689 of license and transaction fees and $1,444,243 of equipment sales. The increase in total revenue of $4,913,808, or 47%, was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $2,060,157, or 23%, and an increase in equipment sales of $2,853,651 or 198%, from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

We derive the majority of our revenues from license and transaction fees resulting from connections to, as well as services provided by, our ePort Connect service. The majority of ePort Connect customers pay a monthly fee plus a blended transaction rate on the transaction dollar volume processed by the Company. Connections to the ePort Connect service, therefore, are the most significant driver of the Company’s revenues, particularly revenues from license and transaction fees. Connections to our service stem from our POS electronic payment devices or certified payment software or the servicing of similar third-party installed POS electronic payment devices. Customers can obtain POS electronic payment devices from us in the following ways:

●

Purchasing devices directly from the Company or one of its authorized resellers;

●

Leasing devices under the Company’s QuickStart Program, which are non-cancellable sixty month sales-type leases, through an unrelated equipment leasing company or directly from the Company; and

●

Renting devices under the Company’s JumpStart Program, which are cancellable month-to-month operating leases.

The Company counts its ePort 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 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, if applicable, and is obligated to pay monthly service fees in accordance with the terms of the customer’s contract with the Company.

Revenue from license and transaction fees, which represented 72% and 86% of total revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is primarily attributable to monthly ePort Connect® service fees and transaction processing fees. Highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 include:

●

Adding 14,000 net connections to our service, consisting of 24,000 new connections to our ePort Connect service in the quarter, offset by 10,000 deactivations, compared to 20,000 net connections added in the same quarter of fiscal 2014, consisting of 22,000 new connections, offset by 2,000 deactivations;

●

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 302,000 connections to the ePort Connect service compared to approximately 244,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of March 31, 2014, an increase of 58,000 connections, or 24%;

●

Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 of 28% and 32%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago; and

●

ePort Connect customer base grew 34% from March 31, 2014.

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 March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 302,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as compared to approximately 244,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of March 31, 2014. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company added approximately 14,000 net connections to its network compared to approximately 20,000 net connections added during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

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, 2015, the Company processed approximately 54.8 million transactions totaling approximately $97.7 million compared to approximately 42.8 million transactions totaling approximately $73.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately 28% in the number of transactions and approximately 32% in the value of transactions processed.

New customers added to our ePort® Connect service during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 totaled 475, bringing the total number of customers to approximately 8,925 as of March 31, 2015. The Company added approximately 575 new customers in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. By comparison, the Company had approximately 6,650 customers as of March 31, 2014, representing 2,275 customers added, or a 34% 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 for future growth in connections. In addition, we believe our growing customer base is indicative of a broadening adoption and acceptance of cashless payments in the industries we serve. 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 $2,853,651 increase in equipment revenue was a result of an increase of approximately $2,953,000 in sales of ePort® products, offset by a decrease of approximately $97,000 in sales of Energy Misers and other net sales of $3,000. The $2,953,000 increase in ePort products was primarily attributable to selling more units during the period due to the Company’s QuickStart Program which was reintroduced during the fiscal year in September 2014.

Cost of sales consisted of license and transaction fee related costs of $7,157,333 and $5,785,721 and equipment costs of $3,054,268 and $660,423 for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $3,765,457, or 58%, was primarily due to an increase in cost of equipment of $2,393,845 that was primarily due to selling more ePort devices due to the Company’s QuickStart Program. In addition, the increase in cost of services of $1,371,612 stemmed from the greater number of connections to the Company’s ePort Connect service and increases in transaction dollars processed by those connections.

Gross profit (“GP”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $5,146,139 compared to GP of $3,997,788 from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $1,148,351, or 29%, of which $688,545 is attributable to license and transaction fees GP and $459,806 is attributable to an increase in equipment sales GP. Overall gross profit margins decreased from 38% to 34% due to a decrease in license and transaction fee margins to 35% from 36% in the prior corresponding fiscal quarter, and by a decrease in equipment sales margins to 29% from 54% in the prior corresponding fiscal quarter.

License and transaction fees margins decreased due to approximately $445,000 of quarterly net rent expense related to the Sale Leaseback transactions, which is approximately $155,000 higher than the quarterly depreciation the Company would have recorded on the ePorts, had the Sale Leaseback transactions not occurred.

The approximate $460,000 increase in equipment sales GP includes one-time recoveries of approximately $747,000 and $152,000 in the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The $747,000 relates to recoveries arising from a customer agreement in a prior quarter; and, the $152,000 was a reversal of a prior charge for equipment rebates. Excluding these one-time items, equipment sales GP decreased $135,000 from the prior corresponding quarter, which was mostly attributable to having $75,000 less GP from ePort equipment revenue. This decrease was predominately a result of fewer activation fees, which are a higher margin revenue source and which to date are not part of the QuickStart Program and $60,000 less GP related to fewer energy miser and other sales during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 when compared to the similar period a year ago.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $4,279,888 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, increased by $800,588, or 23%, from the same quarter in the prior fiscal year; approximately $466,000, or 58% of the increase, were non-cash expenses. The overall increase in SG&A is attributable to increases of approximately $314,000 in bad debt estimates, $301,000 in employee compensation and benefits expenses, and $234,000 in consulting and professional services, offset by a net decrease of $48,000 for various other expenses.

Other income and expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, primarily consisted of $1,101,241 of non-cash loss 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 December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015, which factored in the increase in the Company’s stock price during that period.

The quarter ended March 31, 2015 resulted in a net loss of $566,610 compared to net income of $26,866,526 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, net loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.03, compared to net earnings per common share (basic and diluted) of $0.75 for the prior corresponding fiscal quarter.

Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $534,631 compared to non-GAAP net income of $321,526 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, was $0.01 and $0.00 for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 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. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (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 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 financial performance.

A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Non-GAAP net income (loss) for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net income (loss)	$	(566,610	)	$	26,866,526
Non-GAAP adjustments:

Benefit from reduction of valuation allowances		-			(26,713,897	)
Non-GAAP net income	$	534,631		$	321,526

Net income (loss)	$	(566,610	)	$	26,866,526
Non-GAAP net income	$	534,631		$	321,526

Cumulative preferred dividends		(332,226	)		(332,226	)
Net income (loss) applicable to common shares	$	(898,836	)	$	26,534,300
Non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares	$	202,405		$	(10,700	)

Net earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted	$	(0.03	)	$	0.75
Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted	$	0.01		$	-

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic		35,687,650			35,504,911

As used herein, non-GAAP net income represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding costs or benefits relating to any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities and changes in the Company’s valuation allowances for taxes. As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $2,381,126, compared to $1,839,080 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net income (loss)	$	(566,610	)	$	26,866,526

Less interest income		(26,394	)		(3,102	)

Plus interest expense		85,349			60,934

Plus income tax expense (benefit)		137,820			(26,727,720	)

Plus depreciation expense		1,433,251			1,413,521

Plus change in fair value of warrant liabilities		1,101,241			168,897

Plus stock-based compensation		216,469			60,024

Adjusted EBITDA	$	2,381,126		$	1,839,080

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, 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 non-cash charges for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense.

Nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014

Results for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 continued to demonstrate growth in the Company’s revenues and connections to its service as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Highlights of year over year improvements include:

●

Total revenue up 30% to $40.4 million;

●

Recurring license and transaction fee revenue up 21% to $31.7 million; and

The increase in total revenue of $9,293,775, or 30%, was primarily due to an increase in license and transaction fees of $5,517,746, or 21%, and an increase in equipment sales of $3,776,029 or 76%, from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

●

Purchasing devices directly from the Company or one of its authorized resellers;

●

Leasing devices under the Company’s QuickStart Program, which are non-cancellable sixty month sales-type leases, through an unrelated equipment leasing company or directly from the Company; and

●

Renting devices under the Company’s JumpStart Program, which are cancellable month-to-month operating leases.

Revenue from license and transaction fees, which represented 78% and 84% of total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is primarily attributable to monthly ePort Connect® service fees and transaction processing fees. Highlights for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 include:

●

Adding 36,000 net connections to our service, consisting of 51,000 new connections to our ePort Connect service in the nine month period, offset by 15,000 deactivations, compared to 30,000 net connections added in the same nine month period of fiscal 2014, consisting of 53,000 new connections and 23,000 deactivations;

●

Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 of 27% and 31%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago; and

●

ePort Connect customer base grew 34% from March 31, 2014.

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 March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 302,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as compared to approximately 244,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of March 31, 2014. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company added approximately 36,000 net connections to its network compared to approximately 30,000 net connections added during the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company processed approximately 154.4 million transactions totaling approximately $276.1 million compared to approximately 121.5 million transactions totaling approximately $210.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately 27% in the number of transactions and approximately 31% in the value of transactions processed.

New customers added to our ePort® Connect service during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 totaled 1,625, bringing the total number of customers to approximately 8,925 as of March 31, 2015. The Company added approximately 1,600 new customers in the nine months ended March 31, 2014. By comparison, the Company had approximately 6,650 customers as of March 31, 2014, representing 2,275 customers added, or a 34% 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 for future growth in connections. In addition, we believe our growing customer base is indicative of a broadening adoption and acceptance of cashless payments in the industries we serve. 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 $3,776,029 increase in equipment revenue was a result of an increase of approximately $4,095,000 in sales of ePort® products, offset by a decrease of approximately $326,000 in sales of Energy Misers. The $4,095,000 increase in ePort products was primarily attributable to selling more units during the period due to the reintroduction of the Company’s QuickStart Program in September 2014.

Cost of sales consisted of license and transaction fee related costs of $21,566,280 and $16,690,569 and equipment costs of $6,850,366 and $3,036,243 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $8,689,834 or 44%, was primarily due to an increase in cost of services of $4,875,711 that stemmed from the greater number of connections to the Company’s ePort Connect service, increases in transaction dollars processed by those connections and a charge to settle a customer billing dispute. In addition, the increase in cost of equipment sales of $3,814,123 was primarily due to selling more ePort devices due to the QuickStart Program.

Gross profit (“GP”) for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $12,014,633 compared to GP of $11,410,692 from the same nine month period in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $603,941, or 5%, of which $642,035 is attributable to license and transaction fees GP, offset by a decrease of $38,094 attributable to equipment sales GP. Overall gross profit margins decreased from 37% to 30% due to a decrease in license and transaction fee margins to 32%, from 36% in the prior corresponding nine month period, and by a decrease in equipment sales margins to 22% from 39% in the prior corresponding fiscal nine month period.

License and transaction fees margins decreased due to the impact of certain JumpStart connections added during the third and fourth quarters of 2014 fiscal year with fee grace periods extending into fiscal year 2015 under sales incentives, as well as approximately $1,270,000 of net rent expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 related to the Sale Leaseback transactions, which is approximately $401,000 higher than the depreciation the Company would have recorded on the ePorts during the nine month period had the Sale Leaseback transactions not occurred. Also contributing to the decrease of license and transaction fee margins was a charge of approximately $410,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 in connection with a customer billing dispute.

The decrease in equipment revenue margins is attributable to sales incentives offered with the QuickStart Program as well as having approximately $275,000 less in activation fees, which are a higher margin revenue source which to date are not part of the QuickStart Program.

The $38,000 decrease in equipment sales GP includes one-time recoveries of $747,000 and $152,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The $747,000 relates to recoveries arising from a customer agreement in a prior quarter; and, the $152,000 was a reversal of a prior charge for equipment rebates. Excluding these one-time items, equipment sales GP decreased $633,000 from the prior corresponding nine month period, which was mostly attributable to having $466,000 less GP from ePort equipment revenue. This decrease was predominately a result of fewer activation fees, which are a higher margin revenue source and which to date are not part of the QuickStart Program and $167,000 less GP related to fewer energy miser and other sales during the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 when compared to the similar period a year ago.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $11,442,439 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, increased by $1,474,227 or 15%, from the same nine months in the prior fiscal year; approximately $807,000, or 55% of the increase, were non-cash expenses. The overall increase in SG&A is attributable to increases of approximately $670,000 in employee and director compensation and benefits expenses, $536,000 in bad debt estimates, $230,000 in consulting and professional services, and by a net increase of $38,000 for various other expenses.

Other income and expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, primarily consisted of $655,787 of non-cash loss 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 June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2015, which factored in the increase in the Company’s stock price during that period.

The nine months ended March 31, 2015 resulted in a net loss of $888,481 compared to net income of $27,569,371 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Included in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 is a benefit for income taxes of $26,713,897. Included in the net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 is a non-cash charge of $395,605 as a component of our tax provision for the effect on our deferred tax assets for a state income tax law change. After preferred dividends of $332,226 in each nine month period, net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders was $(1,552,933) and $26,904,919 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, net loss per common share (basic and diluted) was $0.04, compared to net earnings per common share (basic and diluted) of $0.78, for the prior corresponding nine month period.

Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $162,911, compared to non-GAAP net income of $843,170 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share was $(0.01) and $0.01 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 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.

As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding costs or benefits relating to any adjustment for fair value of warrant liabilities, a state income tax law change and changes in the Company’s valuation allowances for taxes. As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $5,007,746 compared to $5,185,086 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:


	Nine months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net income (loss)	$	(888,481	)	$	27,569,371

Less interest income		(40,491	)		(21,342	)

Plus interest expense		209,689			182,315

Plus income tax expense (benefit)		179,705			(26,713,897	)

Plus depreciation expense		4,350,373			3,910,110

Plus amortization expense		-			21,953

Plus change in fair value of warrant liabilities		655,787			(12,304	)

Plus stock-based compensation		541,164			248,880

Adjusted EBITDA	$	5,007,746		$	5,185,086

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $4,378,897 as a result of a net loss of $888,481 and net cash used in the change in operating assets and liabilities of $9,192,083, offset by net non-cash charges of $5,701,667. Of the $5,701,667 of net non-cash items, the most significant during the nine month period were charges related to depreciation of assets, increase in the fair value of warrant liabilities, bad debt expense, and the vesting and issuance of common stock and options for employee and director compensation, offset by the benefit related to the recognition of deferred gain from sale-leaseback transactions. The cash used in the $9,192,083 change in the Company’s operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of increases in finance and trade receivables and inventory and decreases in accounts payable. The increase in finance receivables was directly related to the reintroduction of the QuickStart Program in September 2014. The increase in inventory was primarily attributable to the reclassification of JumpStart rental program equipment to inventory.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the cash provided by investing activities was $3,351,895, of which $4,993,879 related to the proceeds from the sale of rental equipment under the Sale Leaseback transactions, offset by $1,641,993 for the purchase of equipment for the JumpStart Program. Approximately 15% of gross new connections added during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 were from our JumpStart Program, which was lower than anticipated due to increased connections added through our QuickStart Program which constituted approximately 65% of gross connections added during the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the cash provided by financing activities was $429,388, of which $1,752,717 related to the proceeds received in exchange for assigning to a leasing company the Company’s rights to all of the future lease payments under certain existing QuickStart leases between the Company and its customers (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Those proceeds were offset by $1,000,000 for the repayment of a portion of its outstanding balance on its line of credit, $261,342 for the repayment of debt, and $61,987 for the retirement of Common Stock for payroll taxes.

We experienced losses from inception through June 30, 2012, with net income for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2014. Our accumulated deficit through March 31, 2015 is composed of cumulative losses amounting to approximately $169,890,000, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $5,007,746. 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 income tax, depreciation, fair value warrant liability changes and stock and equity-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 increase, as our connection base increases.

The Company anticipates using the JumpStart Programs for up to approximately 20% of its anticipated gross connections for the remainder of the fiscal year. Cash used for the JumpStart and QuickStart Programs is classified as investing and operating activities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively. Accordingly, depending upon the composition of connections added under each of the JumpStart and QuickStart Programs as well as the success of the QuickStart third party leasing program begun near the end of the third fiscal quarter, the Company may generate positive cash flow from operations during the remainder of the 2015 fiscal year. In February 2015, the Company signed a Vendor Agreement with an equipment leasing company pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Company may sell its cashless hardware to the leasing company, who in turn, then leases the equipment directly to our customers. We believe this third party leasing program, if successful, would allow us to reduce the use of the Company’s cash flows from operations for the QuickStart Program. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company sold approximately $900,000 of ePort equipment to the leasing company pursuant to the Vendor Agreement. The Company also has efforts under way in sales, marketing, development and partnering efforts to secure connections from sources other than JumpStart and QuickStart, such as QuickConnect Web service, ePort Mobile, and direct sales of its ePort hardware device.

The Company had three sources of cash available to fund and grow the business as of March 31, 2015: (1) cash on hand of approximately $8.5 million; (2) $3 million available on the line of credit with Avidbank, provided we continue to satisfy the various covenants set forth in the loan agreement; and (3) monies which may become available under the Vendor Agreement described above. Lastly, the Company believes the capital markets, debt and equity, would be available to provide additional sources of cash, if required.

Therefore, the Company believes its existing cash and available cash resources as of March 31, 2015, would provide sufficient funds through at least July 1, 2015 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, QuickStart Program, other anticipated capital expenditures, and the repayment of long-term debt.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant changes to our market risk since June 30, 2014. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

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, 2015. 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, 2015 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, 2015 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, 2015 are $12,925,228. 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.

Borrower acknowledges that there are existing and uncured Events of Default arising from Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 6.9 of the Agreement for the periods ended January 31, 2015 and February 28, 2015 (the “Covenant Defaults”). Subject to the conditions contained herein and performance by Borrower of all of the terms of the Agreement after the date hereof, Bank waives the Covenant Defaults. Bank does not waive Borrower’s obligations under such section after the date hereof, and as amended hereby, and Bank does not waive any other failure by Borrower to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents.

2. The following definition in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“RML” means the average monthly amount (based on the prior three months) of Borrower’s “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” including Jumpstart Investments, as set forth in Borrower’s monthly cash flow statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, plus (solely with respect to month ended February 28, 2015) cash proceeds received by Borrower from TimePayment Corp. with respect to the sale of certain assets pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of January 28, 2015.

4. TERM AND TERMINATION AND SURVIVAL PROVISIONS. This Agreement will be effective on the Effective Date and unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, will expire on completion of the Term. In the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement, the terms of Sections 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10 will survive such expiration or termination of this Agreement in order to give effect to their purpose.

The New York Supreme Court for the County of Westchester in New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes relating to this Agreement.

9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between MasterCard and Merchant, and there are no other agreements, representations, warranties or understandings between MasterCard and Merchant with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. To the extent that any other agreement, written or verbal, appears to exist between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, this Agreement supersedes any such agreement.

10. PUBLICITY. Subject to any disclosure required under applicable securities laws, neither party shall issue an independent press release or make any other public announcement, whether written, oral or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, it being expressly agreed that MasterCard may issue press releases and make any other public announcements, whether written, oral or otherwise, with respect to the MasterCard Interchange Rate (as defined in Exhibit B.1) (provided, that the rate structure provided to Merchant under the terms of this Agreement and Merchant name as a qualifying merchant under such rate structure, shall remain confidential and not be disclosed unless otherwise disclosed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 above).

If any provision of this Agreement does not comply with law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, now existing or hereinafter enacted, such provision shall to the extent possible be interpreted in such a manner so as to comply with such law, ordinance or regulation, or if such interpretation is not possible, it shall be deemed amended, to satisfy the minimum requirements of this Agreement.

12. COUNTERPART AND FAX SIGNATURES. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be signed and transmitted by facsimile, with such signature to be treated as an original and the document transmitted to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document. At the request of either party, any facsimile document will be re-executed in original form by the Parties who signed the facsimile document.

EXHIBIT B

During the Term, MasterCard and Merchant agree as follows:

Transaction Incentive Program. In exchange for Merchant’s agreement to comply with its obligations contained herein and subject to Merchant’s agreement to secure and maintain, throughout the Term, a merchant agreement with an Acquiring Bank (as defined below), MasterCard agrees to offer the following interchange rate (the “MasterCard Interchange Rate”) for Qualified MasterCard Debit Transactions taking place within the Territory during the Term:

With respect to any Qualified MasterCard Debit Transactions in an ***, the MasterCard Interchange Rate shall be *** (which shall equal ***); provided, that each such Qualified MasterCard Debit Transaction *** is in compliance with the established qualification criteria for those rates as detailed in the Standards or as otherwise provided to, or accessible by, Merchant.

In respect of (i) above, for clarification, it is agreed by the Parties that all other classes of transactions (other than Qualified MasterCard Debit Transactions) will receive the then-current published rates in accordance with the established qualification criteria.

MasterCard shall make the MasterCard Interchange Rate available directly to the Merchant’s MasterCard acquiring financial institution(s) which shall be identified, if changed, to MasterCard by Merchant pursuant to Section 2 of this Exhibit B (collectively, the “Acquiring Bank(s)”) for Qualified MasterCard Debit Transactions. Merchant acknowledges that MasterCard does not set or have any influence over the merchant discount rate charged to the Merchant by Acquiring Banks for Qualified MasterCard Debit Transactions, and that such discount rate is determined entirely through a separate agreement between Merchant and the Acquiring Banks, to which MasterCard is not a party and about which MasterCard has no knowledge (the “Acquirer Relationship”). Merchant acknowledges and agrees that Acquiring Banks will directly realize the benefit of the MasterCard Interchange Rate and no direct payment will be made to Merchant from MasterCard. The extent to which Merchant benefits from this MasterCard Interchange Rate will be solely pursuant to the Acquirer Relationship.

Should Merchant fail to maintain an Acquirer Relationship throughout the Term, Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be denied the benefits as set forth in Exhibit B (the “Denied Benefits”). Upon the occurrence of a Denied Benefits event, written notification of such Denied Benefits will be provided to Merchant as soon as commercially feasible.

Changing Acquiring Bank. Merchant will promptly notify MasterCard, in writing, if its Acquiring Bank changes, for any reason, or if an additional Acquiring Bank is engaged by Merchant for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement.

MasterCard Acceptance. Merchant agrees to accept MasterCard Debit Cards for the payment of goods and services by MasterCard Cardholders for all Applicable Transactions in accordance with the Standards. Further, Merchant will accept other MasterCard Cards (including credit cards) for Applicable Transactions in a separate channel.

MasterCard Acceptance Expansion. During the Term, Merchant agrees to discuss opportunities with MasterCard to expand acceptance of MasterCard Cards and identify cashless opportunities throughout its business not heretofore identified. Further, Merchant agrees that it shall use its reasonable efforts to market the acceptance benefits of MasterCard Debit Cards to its customers.

Reports. Merchant agrees that it shall provide written reports to MasterCard on a quarterly basis throughout the Term which such reports shall be true and accurate and shall include the following information (in each case, both for the just-completed quarter and for the corresponding quarter during the immediately preceding calendar year): (i) *** during the applicable quarters; and (ii) ***.
