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, Internet of Things (“IoT”), 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, 2015. 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, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2016. The balance sheet at June 30, 2015 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.

CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. 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

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

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Accounts receivable include amounts due to the Company for sales of equipment, other amounts due from customers, merchant service receivables, and unbilled amounts due from customers, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments, including from a shortfall in the customer transaction fund flow from which the company would normally collect amounts due.

The allowance is determined through an analysis of various factors including the aging of the accounts receivable, the strength of the relationship with the customer, the capacity of the customer transaction fund flow to satisfy the amount due from the customer, an assessment of collection costs and other factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is management’s best estimate as of the respective reporting date. If the factors described above were to deteriorate, additional amounts may need to be added to the allowance.

Changes in the estimated allowance are due to write-offs or collections of receivables. Other changes in the estimated allowance in the period are charged to bad debt expense and included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FINANCE RECEIVABLES

The Company offers extended payment terms to certain customers for equipment sales under its Quick Start Program. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification® (“ASC”) Topic 840, “Leases”, agreements under the Quick Start 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. Finance receivables or Quick Start 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.

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.

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.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks and patents.

The Company’s trademarks with an indefinite economic life are not being amortized. The trademarks, not subject to amortization, are related to the EnergyMiser asset group and consist of four trademarks. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment using a two-step process. The first step screens for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company uses a relief from royalty analysis to complete the first step in this process. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date for its indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets purchased in acquisitions. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. Under ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is subject to periodic testing for impairment. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The 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 accounted for in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” Under ASC 820 the Company uses inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy to measure its financial assets and liabilities. 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).

USA Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 accounts receivable, short-term 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 agreements and the long-term portion of its finance receivables approximates their carrying value as such instruments are at market rates currently available to the Company.

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, if applicable, 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 and license and transaction fee refunds on a monthly basis.

ePort hardware is available to customers under the QuickStart program pursuant to which the customer would enter into a five-year non-cancelable lease with either the Company or a third-party leasing company for the devices. At the end of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device at its residual value.

PREFERRED STOCK

Preferred stock is recorded on the balance sheet in the equity section at its par value.

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 that, 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 six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

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 period plus the effect of potential common shares unless such effect is anti-dilutive.

RECLASSIFICATION

As reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, commencing with the September 30, 2015 financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it presents certain uncollected customer accounts receivable and the related allowance in its consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of cash flows. These accounts receivable represent a large number of small balance amounts due from customers for processing and service fees which had not been billed to customers, and as to which, there had been no customer transaction proceeds from which the Company could collect the amounts due in

USA Technologies, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

accordance with its normal procedures. The previous accounting classification recorded these amounts as a reduction of its accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of cash flows. The new accounting classification moves these amounts to accounts receivable and allowance for bad debt.

Accordingly, the respective balances for all prior periods presented in these financial statements were reclassified in order to be consistent with and comparable to the accounting classification of these items in our December 31, 2015 financial statements. The new accounting classification as well as the reclassification for prior periods had no effect on the consolidated statements of operations or the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. The details of the reclassification of the respective consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows amounts are presented in the table below:

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company changed the manner in which it treats certain costs for internally developed software with the capitalization of those costs. These capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over three years.

Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software development and costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility and estimated economic life. At December 31, 2015, the Company had $85 thousand in capitalized software development of which will be amortized beginning with the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, prescribes the reporting required for comprehensive income and items of other comprehensive income. Entities having no items of other comprehensive income are not required to report on comprehensive income. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company is evaluating whether the effects of the following recent accounting pronouncements or any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU was amended by ASU No. 2015-14, issued in August 2015, which deferred the original effective date by one year. The ASU is now effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12 Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for share-based payments when the terms of the award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. This pronouncement will be effective for the Company beginning with the year ending June 30, 2017.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This pronouncement will be effective for the Company beginning with the year ending June 30, 2017.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. This pronouncement will be effective for the Company beginning with the year ending June 30, 2017.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the measurement of inventory. This pronouncement will be effective for the Company beginning with the year ending June 30, 2018.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments". ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. ASU 2015-16 will be effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2016. Since this standard is prospective, the impact of ASU 2015-16 on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will depend upon the nature of any measurement period adjustments identified in future periods.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17"), which will require entities to present all deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2017. Early application is permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, income tax provisions of $402 thousand and $42 thousand, respectively, (substantially all deferred income taxes) were recorded; of those amounts, $395 thousand was due to the decrease in the applicable tax rate utilized to tax affect the deferred tax assets that was caused by a state income tax law change. The remaining provision (benefit) of $7 thousand and $(353) thousand for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, was based upon income (loss) before provision for income taxes using an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 51% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 and a (benefit) for the tax effect of the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities which was treated discretely.

Any and all accumulated and unpaid cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock must be declared and paid prior to the declaration and payment of any dividends on the Common Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock may be called for redemption at the option of the Board of Directors for a price of $11.00 per share plus payment of all accrued and unpaid dividends. No such redemption has occurred as of December 31, 2015. In the event of any liquidation as defined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued shall be entitled to receive $10.00 for each outstanding share plus all cumulative unpaid dividends. If funds are insufficient for this distribution, the assets available will be distributed ratably among the preferred shareholders. The Series A Preferred Stock liquidation preference as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 is as follows:

14. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company’s 401(k) Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) allows employees who have completed six months of service to make voluntary contributions up to a maximum of 100% of their annual compensation, as defined in the Retirement Plan and subject to IRS limitations. The Company may, in its discretion, make a matching contribution, a profit sharing contribution, a qualified non-elective contribution, and/or a safe harbor 401(k) contribution to the Retirement Plan. The Company must make an annual election at the beginning of the plan year as to whether it will make a safe harbor contribution to the plan. For the plan year ending June 30, 2016, the Company has elected to make safe harbor matching contributions of 100% of the participant’s first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of compensation deferred into the Retirement Plan. The Company’s safe harbor contributions for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 approximated $49 thousand and $41 thousand, respectively. The Company’s safe harbor contributions for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 approximated $103 thousand and $88 thousand, respectively.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There were no related party transactions during the three or six-month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

In June 2014 and through the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company and a third party finance company, entered into Sale Leaseback Agreements (the “Sale Leaseback Agreements” or a “Sale Leaseback Agreement”) pursuant to which a third-party finance company purchased ePort equipment owned by the Company and used by the Company in its JumpStart Program.

Upon the completion of the sale under these agreements, the Company computed a gain on the sale of its ePort equipment, which is deferred and is amortized in proportion to the related gross rental charged to expense over the lease terms in accordance with the FASB topic ASC 840-40, “Sale Leaseback Transactions”. The computed gain on the sale is recognized ratably over the 36-month term and charged as a reduction to the Company’s JumpStart rent expense included in costs of services in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company is accounting for the Sale Leaseback as an operating lease and is obligated to pay to the finance company a base monthly rental for this equipment during the 36-month lease term.

The following table summarizes the changes in deferred gain from the sale-leaseback transactions:

LITIGATION

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising during the normal course of business which, in the opinion of the management of the Company, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

On January 26, 2015, Universal Clearing Solutions, LLC (“Universal Clearing”), a former non-vending customer of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. On April 10, 2015, Universal Clearing filed an amended complaint, and on June 19, 2015, Universal Clearing filed a second amended complaint, which alleged causes of action against the Company for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and defamation. On July 24, 2015, the Company filed an answer to the defamation count of the complaint denying the allegations, and filed a motion to dismiss the remaining counts. On January 29, 2016, the Court granted the Company's motion, and dismissed the breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Company. The Company does not believe that the remaining defamation count of the complaint has merit or represents a material legal proceeding, and intends to vigorously defend against the claim.

On July 24, 2015, the Company filed a counterclaim against Universal Clearing seeking damages of approximately $680 thousand which were incurred by the Company in connection with chargebacks relating to Universal Clearing’s sub-merchants which had been boarded on the Company’s service. The counterclaim alleges that Universal Clearing is responsible under the agreement for these chargebacks, and Universal Clearing misrepresented to the Company the business practices and other matters relating to these sub-merchants. On August 17, 2015, Universal Clearing filed an answer to the counterclaim denying that it was responsible for the chargebacks or had made any misrepresentations.

On August 7, 2015, the Company filed a third party complaint in the pending action against Steven Juliver, the manager of Universal Clearing, as well as against Universal Tranware, LLC, and Secureswype, LLC, entities affiliated with Universal Clearing. The third-party complaint sets forth, among other things, causes of action for fraud and breach of contract, and seeks to recover from these defendants the chargebacks relating to Universal Clearing’s sub-merchants described above. On September 14, 2015, the third party defendants filed a motion to dismiss the third party complaint and on January 29, 2016, the court denied the motion to dismiss the fraud and breach of contract claims. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims for damages set forth in the counterclaim and third party complaint.

On October 1, 2015, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by Steven P. Messner, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, against the Company and its executive officers, alleging violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a purported class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of the Company between September 29, 2014 through September 29, 2015. The complaint alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements, relating to, among other things, the failure to identify a large number of doubtful small balance accounts. The complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified damages including attorneys’ fees and other costs. On December 15, 2015, the court appointed a lead plaintiff, and on January 18, 2016, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint that set forth the same causes of action and requested substantially the same relief as the original complaint. On February 1, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint alleging, among other things, the amended complaint does not satisfy the applicable pleading standards under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the action.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with VendScreen, Inc. (“VendScreen”) pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets (the “Purchased Assets”) and assumed certain liabilities of VendScreen. VendScreen was in the business of developing vending industry cashless payment technology, including an interactive media, content delivery system for the self-service vending market.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company paid VendScreen the sum of approximately $5.6 million at closing for the Purchased Assets. The Purchased Assets include all of VendScreen’s intellectual property (including software, patents, domain names, and copyrights), inventory, customer agreements, goodwill, and certain accounts receivable. The Company assumed the lease agreement for the offices of VendScreen located in Portland, Oregon, which, subject to extension options, expires on September 30, 2016. At the time of closing, the employees of VendScreen became employees of or consultants to the Company. The Company and VendScreen also entered into a Transitional Services Agreement pursuant to which VendScreen may provide services to the Company following the closing and under which the Company will pay to VendScreen the sum of $250 thousand.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, on January 15, 2016, the Company and Avidbank Corporate Finance, a division of Avidbank (the “Bank”), entered into a Fifteenth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) previously entered into between them. The Loan Agreement provided for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit facility (the “Line of Credit”) of up to $7.5 million.

Pursuant to the Amendment, and as required by the Loan Agreement, the Bank consented to the purchase by the Company of substantially all of the assets of VendScreen. The Bank also made a three-year term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $3.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan was used by the Company to repay to the Bank an advance that had been made to the Company under the Line of Credit in December 2015, and which had been used by the Company to pay for the Purchased Assets. The Term Loan provides that interest only is payable monthly during year one, interest and principal is payable monthly during years two and three, and all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable on the third anniversary of the Term Loan. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to 1.75% above the prime rate as published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal, or five percent (5%), whichever is higher. The Amendment also increases the amount available under the Line of Credit to $7.5 million less the amount then outstanding under the Term Loan. The Amendment amended the definition of Adjusted EBITDA set forth in the Loan Agreement to exclude the one-time costs and expenses incurred or accrued by the Company in connection with the purchase of VendScreen.

On January 22, 2016, the Company and J. Duncan Smith entered into a Separation Agreement and Release pursuant to which, Mr. Smith resigned as CFO of the Company, effective January 22, 2016.

On January 27, 2016, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Leland P. Maxwell pursuant to which he will serve as the Company’s interim CFO commencing January 28, 2016 through September 30, 2016. The letter agreement provides that Mr. Maxwell will receive monthly compensation of $23 thousand, and will be an independent contractor to the Company. Mr. Maxwell will also participate in the Fiscal Year 2016 Management Incentive Plan of the Company, and would receive a cash bonus equal to 50% of the compensation received by him from the Company during the fiscal year if the Company achieves certain annual financial goals during and for the entire fiscal year.

PART I

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. For this purpose, forward-looking statements are any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to, those preceded by or that include the words, “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intend,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projected,” or similar expressions. Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected, include, for example:

●

general economic, market or business conditions;

●

the ability of the Company to raise funds in the future through sales of securities or debt financing in order to sustain its operations if an unexpected or unusual event would occur;

●

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

●

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

●

whether the Company’s customers continue to utilize the Company’s transaction processing and related services, as our customer agreements are generally cancelable by the customer on thirty to sixty days’ notice;

●

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

●

the ability of a sufficient number of our customers to utilize third party leasing companies under our QuickStart program in order to continue to significantly reduce net cash used in operating activities;

●

the incurrence by us of any unanticipated or unusual non-operating expenses which would require us to divert our cash resources from achieving our business plan;

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

the ability of the Company to obtain widespread commercial acceptance of its products and service offerings such as ePort QuickConnect, mobile payment and loyalty programs;

●

whether any patents issued to the Company will provide the Company with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for its products, or would be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others;

●

the ability of our products and services to avoid unauthorized hacking or credit card fraud;

●

whether our ongoing remediation of the material weakness that we identified in our internal controls over financial reporting, and which was reflected in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, would be effective;

●

whether we experience additional material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting in the future, and are not able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations;

●

whether our suppliers would increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale; and

●

the ability of the Company to operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Actual results or business conditions may differ materially from those projected or suggested in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those described above. We cannot assure you that we have identified all the factors that create uncertainties. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

OVERVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

USA Technologies, Inc. provides wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring, and other value-added services principally to the small ticket, unattended Point of Sale (“POS”) market. Our ePort® technology can be installed and/or embedded into everyday devices such as vending machines, a variety of kiosks, amusement, commercial laundry, kiosk 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, Internet of Things (“IoT”), 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.

The Company generates revenue in multiple ways. During fiscal year 2015, we derived approximately 75% of our revenues from recurring license and transaction fees related to our ePort Connect service and approximately 25% of our revenue from equipment sales. Connections to our service stem from the sale or lease of our POS electronic payment devices or certified payment software or the servicing of similar third-party installed POS terminals. Connections to the ePort Connect service are the most significant driver of the Company’s revenues, particularly the recurring revenues from license and transaction fees. 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.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Incorporated in 1992, USA Technologies, Inc. has been helping customers in self-serve retail, traditionally cash-based industries, seamlessly make the transition to cashless payment. Highlights of the Company are below:

Over 71 employees with its headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania as of December 31, 2015. On January 15, 2016, as a result of the acquisition of VendScreen, 12 additional employees were added.

Over 10,600 customers and 369,000 connections to our service

Three direct sales teams at the national, regional, and local customer-level and a growing number of OEMs and national distribution partners

78 United States and foreign patents are in force

The Company’s fiscal year ends June 30^th

The Company has traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “USAT” since 2007

The Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $27 million resulting from a series of operating loss carry forwards that may be available to offset future taxable income from federal income taxes over the next five or more years.

THE MARKET WE SERVE

We believe our growing customer base is indicative of a broadening adoption and acceptance of cashless payments in the industries we serve. We estimate the United States market generates over $120 billion in annual cashless transaction revenues, representing 13-15 million potential connections in the self-serve retail market. Included in the self-service retail market is the Company’s largest market segment, vending. This supports the Company’s position in the market and opportunities for growth.

Additionally, management estimates that the Company’s existing customer base controls over 2.0 million potential connections. 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they conform to general practices in our industry. We apply critical accounting policies consistently from period to period and intend that any change in methodology occur in an appropriate manner. Accounting policies currently deemed critical are listed below:

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 and license and transaction fee refunds on a monthly basis.

Long Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews its definite lived long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets exceeds its net realizable value, the asset will be written down to its fair value. In the period when the plan of sale criteria of ASC 360 are met, definite lived long-lived assets are reported as held for sale, depreciation and amortization cease, and the assets are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company trademarks with an indefinite economic life are not being amortized. The trademarks, not subject to amortization, are related to the EnergyMiser asset group and consist of four trademarks. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment using a two-step process. The first step screens for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company uses a relief from royalty analysis to complete the first step in this process. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date for its indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Patents and trademarks, with an estimated economic life, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic life. The Company reviews intangibles, subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance is determined through an analysis of various factors including the aging of accounts receivable, the strength of the relationship with the customer, the capacity of the customer transaction fund flow to satisfy the amount due from the customer, an assessment of collection costs and other factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is management’s best estimate as of the respective reporting period. If the factors described above were to deteriorate, additional amounts may need to be added to the allowance.

Highlights of USAT’s connections for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 include:

●

20,000 net new connections to our ePort Connect service in the quarter, compared to 12,000 net connections added in the same quarter last year, an increase of 8,000, or 67%;

●

369,000 connections to the ePort Connect service compared to the same quarter last year of approximately 288,000 connections, an increase of 81,000 connections, or 28%;

●

USAT has shifted from providing financing for the customer’s equipment purchases through month-to-month agreements under the JumpStart rental program, to using outside leasing companies through the QuickStart program with sixty month terms. This shift to QuickStart provides for an upfront payment by the leasing companies for the equipment which significantly improves the Company’s free cash flow**. It should be noted that the Company may hold QuickStart leases as finance receivables for customers that are not able to obtain third party leasing arrangements.

**Free cash flow is defined as the Company’s cash flow from operating activities less cash used for purchases of property for the JumpStart rental program.

Total connections at period-end		369,000						288,000
Net new connections in period		36,000						22,000

Revenue. The increase in net new connections of approximately 20,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to approximately 12,000 in the same period last year represents an increase of 66.7%. The increase in net new connections of 36,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to 22,000 for the same period last year represents an increase of 63.6%. The Company’s total connections have grown to 369,000 at December 31, 2015 compared to 288,000 at December 31, 2014, or a 28.1% increase year-over-year. The increase in total connections is driving the growth in license and transaction fees of 30.5% quarter-over-quarter and 28.9% year-over-year.

Gross Margin. Equipment gross margins have expanded from 17.6% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2014 to 18.1% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015. Equipment gross margins have expanded from 14.5% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2014 to 20.0% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015. The increases in both periods are primarily due to increases in sales under the QuickStart program. License and transaction fees gross margin for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015 has expanded from 31.7% to 33.7% when compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2014, and from 30.2% to 33.2% for the respective six-month periods as promotional grace-periods for customers ended.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $1.2 million or 32.7% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Operating expenses increased $2.3 million or 31.3% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. However, operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2015 to 26.4% compared to 28.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased for the six months ended December 31, 2015 to 28.0% compared to 29.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2014. As revenues continue to grow over time, management expects operating expenses as a percentage of sales to decrease gradually over time. Although in the near term there will be variations from quarter to quarter based on business needs. Specifically, the Company anticipates additional selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) spending on research and development, sales and customer service support, along with accounting and professional fees to be incurred by the Company in connection with compliance issues related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“SOX”), during this fiscal year. In this regard, we will need to comply with Section 404(b) of SOX for the 2016 fiscal year, which will require us to obtain from our registered public accounting firm an attestation, and report on, management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. We are implementing additional procedures to support the requirements of Section 404(b), which are expected to be costly and time consuming. See Table 5 in Item 2 for a breakdown SG&A expenses.

Total Other Income (Expense). Includes interest expense, other income, and the change in the fair value of warrants. The primary driver for volatility in Other Income / (Expense) has been non-cash changes to the fair value of the warrant liabilities which are based on the Company’s stock price. The Company adjusts the warrant liability for fair value using the Black-Scholes model through the income statement quarterly. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2015 the Company recorded expense of $1.2 million for the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities compared to recording income of $135 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2014. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2015 the Company recorded expense of $887 thousand for the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities compared to recording income of $445 thousand for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The change in both periods can be primarily attributed to the increase in market price of the Company’s stock at the valuation date which was $3.08 at December 31, 2015 and $1.61 at December 31, 2014.

Net Loss. Net loss is a function of the items described above. The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to the increase in the fair value of warrant liabilities, partially offset by the improved gross margin in license and transaction fees and equipment sales.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 adjusted EBITDA increased 34.4% from $1.7 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2015. For the six months ended December 31, 2015 adjusted EBITDA increased 52.7% from $2.6 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2015. The increase in adjusted EBITDA in both periods can be attributed to the increased gross margin on license and transaction fees and equipment sales.

Non-GAAP Net Income. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 non-GAAP net income increased 11,333.3% from $6 thousand at December 31, 2014 compared to $686 thousand at December 31, 2015. For the six months ended December 31, 2015 non-GAAP net income increased 158.9% from a loss of $704 thousand at December 31, 2014 compared to $415 thousand at December 31, 2015. The increase in non-GAAP net income in both periods can be attributed to the increased gross margin on license and transaction fees and equipment sales.

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding. The gradual increase in the basic weighted average number of common shares has been due to stock issued through the Company’s stock based compensation programs.

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring professional service fees recorded in SG&A that were incurred in connection with the VendScreen, Inc. (“VendScreen”) transaction, 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 gain or 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. We have excluded the non-recurring professional service fees incurred in connection with the VendScreen transaction in order to allow more accurate comparisons of the financial results to historical operations. 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 allows management and investors to consider the ongoing operations of the business both with, and without, such expenses. Additionally, the Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in its management incentive compensation plans.

Salaries and Benefit Costs. Includes employee compensation and benefits, directors’ fees, incentives, and stock-based compensation. The increase in cost from the six months ended December 31, 2014 to the six months ended December 31, 2015 was due to increased headcount, benefits, bonuses and stock based compensation.

Marketing Related. Marketing related costs were higher for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2015 due to trade show expenses and marketing initiatives for sales support and sales deployment.

Professional Services. Professional services include information technology, legal, public relations, accounting, and other consulting costs. The Company anticipates continued use of professional services to support its growing sales and service structure.

Premises, Equipment and Insurance Costs. Includes facilities, sales & use taxes, and workers compensation. The increase for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 was from sales & use tax and printing expenses related to marketing initiatives in the same quarter.

The gradual increase in the basic weighted average number of common shares has been due to stock issued through the Company’s stock based compensation programs.

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 and non-cash portions of the Company’s income tax benefit (provision), and non-recurring professional service fees recorded in SG&A that were incurred in connection with the VendScreen transaction. Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Non-GAAP net income (loss) 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. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted are important measures of the Company's business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors' overall understanding of our current and future financial performance. Additionally, the Company utilizes non-GAAP net income as a metric in its management incentive compensation plans.

Highlights from the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 compared to June 30, 2015 include:

Property and Equipment (“PP&E”) includes mostly JumpStart rental equipment and has declined $2.0 million pursuant to the Company’s strategy of using third-party leasing programs through QuickStart. Net PP&E is expected to continue to decline over time.

Accounts payable declined $2.7 million as the Company paid down its vendors over the normal course of business.

Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2015 includes amounts in aged receivables (>90 days) of a large equipment sale due from a third-party leasing company under our QuickStart program. Collection was delayed due to document requirements but was received subsequent to September 30, 2015 and prior to December 31, 2015. The Company continues working to improve its lease document workflow to accelerate collections and improve cash flow.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Highlights from the statement of cash flow include:

The Company has experienced positive operating cash flow in the last four quarters and expects continued growth of cash flow from operations and free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less cash used for purchases of property for the JumpStart rental program).

Finance receivables decreased $701 thousand from June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2015 due to the Company’s efforts to consummate sales utilizing the QuickStart third-party leasing program.

Investment in property for the JumpStart rental program has been zero during the past five quarters due to the QuickStart program and transfers from inventory.

In September 2014, the Company reintroduced QuickStart, a program whereby our customers are able to purchase our ePort hardware via a five-year, non-cancellable lease. Under the QuickStart program, the Company provides the equipment to customers in a rent-to-own agreement and creates a long-term and current finance receivable for five-year leases. In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2015, the Company signed vendor agreements with two leasing companies, whereby our customers would enter into leases directly with the leasing companies. Under this scenario, the Company invoices the leasing company for the equipment leased by our customer, and records the full equipment sales amount to accounts receivable. Unlike finance receivables, where the cash from the equipment sale would be collected over a five-year period, the accounts receivable due from the leasing company is typically collected within 30 days. QuickStart, through third-party leasing companies, reduces cash flow needed for investing activities and improves the cash flow from operations which, when combined, increases the Company’s free cash flow. The Company previously financed its customers’ acquisition of ePort equipment primarily through the JumpStart rental program. Under Jumpstart, the Company records an investing capital expenditure cash outflow for the equipment provided and fixed assets on the balance sheet, and then receives rental income from a month-to-month lease.

Since entering into vendor agreements with two third-party leasing companies, the majority of QuickStart sales consummated have been with customers entering into a lease directly with the leasing companies. Our customers have shifted from acquiring our products via JumpStart, which accounted for 60% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2014, to QuickStart and sales under normal trade receivable terms, which accounted for 88% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2015, and was approximately 90% of gross connections in the first six months of fiscal year 2016. The Company is actively working to expand its outside leasing partners. The goal of the program would be to have enough leasing partners so that the Company would not need to provide financing to its customers. Accordingly, with continued success of the QuickStart third-party leasing program, the Company should continue to generate positive cash flow from operations during the remainder of the 2016 fiscal year.

Sources of Cash

Primary: The Company’s primary sources of cash include:

Current cash on hand of approximately $14.8 million as of December 31, 2015;

In addition to cash on hand, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $869 thousand for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015. The Company’s increased liquidity position is further demonstrated by increases in net working capital, which is defined as current assets less current liabilities, which were $9.9, $7.5, $6.3, $5.7 and $2.6 million over the last five quarters beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2015. These positive trends are expected to continue and result in continued free cash flow; and

On January 15, 2016, the Bank also made a three-year term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $3.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan provides that interest only is payable monthly during year one, interest and principal is payable monthly during years two and three, and all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable on the third anniversary of the Term Loan. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to 1.75% above the prime rate as published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal, or five percent (5%), whichever is higher. The Bank also increased the amount available under the Line of Credit to $7.5 million less the amount then outstanding under the Term Loan. As of December 31, 2015, the balance outstanding under the Line of Credit was $7.0 million.

Other Sources: Other sources of cash include:

Approximately $11.1 million of potential cash from unexercised stock warrants exercisable at $2.6058 per share that are set to expire on September 18, 2016;

If the Company exhausted its primary sources of cash and required capital, it believes it could sell a portion of its finance receivables at a discount to a third-party lender; and

The Company has had success in accessing capital markets, debt and equity in the past. However, the current focus is on profitability and generating free cash flows.

(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, 2015.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes during the quarter ended December 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 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, Universal Clearing Solutions, LLC (“Universal Clearing”), a former non-vending customer of the Company, filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona against the Company alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and defamation. During July 2015, the Company filed an answer to the defamation count of the complaint denying the allegations, and filed a motion to dismiss the remaining counts. On January 29, 2016, the Court granted the Company’s motion, and dismissed the breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Company. The Company does not believe that the remaining defamation count of the complaint has merit or represents a material legal proceeding, and intends to vigorously defend against the claim.

During July 2015, the Company filed a counterclaim against Universal Clearing seeking damages of approximately $680,000 which were incurred by the Company in connection with chargebacks relating to Universal Clearing’s sub-merchants which had been boarded on the Company’s service. The Company also filed a third party complaint in the pending action against Steven Juliver, the manager of Universal Clearing, as well as against Universal Tranware, LLC, and Secureswype, LLC, entities affiliated with Universal Clearing. The third party complaint sets forth, among other things, causes of action for fraud and breach of contract, and seeks to recover from these defendants the chargebacks relating to Universal Clearing’s sub-merchants described above. On September 14, 2015, the third party defendants filed a motion to dismiss the third party complaint, and on January 29, 2016, the court denied the motion to dismiss the fraud and breach of contract claims. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims for damages set forth in the counterclaim and third party complaint.

As previously reported, on October 1, 2015, a purported class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Company and its executive officers alleging violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On December 15, 2015, the court appointed a lead plaintiff, and on January 18, 2016, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint that set forth the same causes of action and requested substantially the same relief as the original complaint. On February 1, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint alleging that, among other things, the amended complaint does not satisfy the applicable pleading standards under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the action.
