PROSPECTUS USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. COMMON STOCK This Prospectus relates to up to 5,200,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of USA Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") which may be sold from time to time by the shareholders of the Company (the "Selling Shareholders") who purchased 1996 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "1996 Warrants") from the Company. The 1996 Warrants were issued pursuant to a warrant agreement dated as of May 1, 1996, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the warrant agent (the "1996 Warrant Agreement"). The Common Stock which may be sold by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus will be purchased from the Company by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the exercise of the 1996 Warrants. The Company issued 5,200,000 1996 Warrants to the Selling Shareholders in May 1996 pursuant to the 1996 Warrant Agreement in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and applicable state securities law. Each 1996 Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $.40 through December 31, 1996, and for $.50 at any time thereafter through May 31, 2001. The exercise price of the 1996 Warrants may be reduced by the Company at any time, or from time to time. The 1996 Warrants are exercisable at any time through May 31, 2001, or such later date as the Company may determine. The Company agreed, at its cost and expense, to register under the Act the Common Stock underlying the 1996 Warrants for resale by the Selling Shareholders, and to register or qualify such Common Stock under applicable state securities laws. See "Description of Securities - 1996 Common Stock Purchase Warrants." The Common Stock may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders named herein pursuant to this Prospectus. See "Selling Shareholders". As a condition to obtaining the Common Stock being offered hereby, the Selling Shareholders must exercise the 1996 Warrants by tendering the per share exercise price required under the 1996 Warrant Agreement. In the event all 5,200,000 1996 Warrants are exercised at $.50, the Company would receive gross proceeds of $2,600,000. In the event all 5,200,000 1996 Warrants are exercised at $.40, the Company would receive gross proceeds of $2,080,000. There is no assurance that any or all of the 1996 Warrants will be exercised by the Selling Shareholders, and if none of the 1996 Warrants are exercised, the Company would not receive any gross proceeds. The Company is responsible for all of the costs and expenses incident to the offer and sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus other than any brokerage fees or commissions incurred by the Selling Shareholders

in connection therewith. The Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders.

Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling Shareholders. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY The following information does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed information and Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Prospective investors should consider carefully the factors discussed below under "Risk Factors". The Company USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was founded in January 1992. The Company is in the development stage and intends to become the leading owner and licensor of unattended, credit card activated control systems for the vending, copying, debit card and personal computer industries. The Company's devices make available credit card payment technology in connection with the sale of a variety of products and services. The Company anticipates generating its revenues primarily from retaining a portion of the revenues generated from all credit card transactions conducted through its devices. The Company has developed a credit card activated control system for vending machines known as the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM, a credit card activated control system to be utilized with photocopying machines and computer printers known as the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, and a credit card activated control system to be utilized with debit card purchase/revalue stations known as the Credit Card Debit ExpressTM. The devices allow consumers to use credit cards to pay for these products and services. The Company has also developed the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM which is an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in connection with general use of a personal computer, as well as for the use of on-line services, including the Internet, and for the use of a laser printer. This product enables locations such as public libraries to offer the use of personal computers to the public on an "as needed" basis utilizing credit cards as a method of payment. The Company has entered into a strategic alliance with Dell Computer Corporation in connection with the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM. See "Business - Credit Card Computer ExpressTM." As of June 30, 1996, the Company has installed at commercial locations a total of 130 devices and revenues have been nominal. See "Business". Substantially all of these customers are university or public libraries. The Company's executive offices are located at 3 Glenhardie Corporate Center, Suite 306, 1265 Drummers Lane, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, and its telephone number is (610) 989-0340. 1

RISK FACTORS The securities described herein are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Each prospective investor in the Common Stock should carefully consider the following risk factors inherent in and affecting the business of the Company and the Common Stock before investing in the Common Stock. 1. Development Stage Company; Limited Operating History; Significant Cumulative Operating Losses. Since its founding in January 1992, the Company has been in the development stage and has been engaged almost exclusively in research and development activities focused on designing, developing, and marketing its credit card activated control systems. From inception through June 30, 1996 the Company has generated funds primarily through the sales of its securities and unless and until the Company generates sufficient revenues from operations, its existence may be dependent on the ability to continue to raise capital. See "Financial Statements." The Company installed its first product, the Golfer's OasisTM in June 1994. This product line did not achieve the anticipated market acceptance and was also very capital intensive. There are currently only 2 units in operation and net revenues through June 30, 1996 were nominal. The Credit Card Copy ExpressTM was first installed in January 1995, and as of June 1996, there were only 77 units in operation and net revenues therefrom were nominal. The Credit Card Vending ExpressTM was first installed in March 1995, and as of June 30, 1996 there were only 6 units in operation and net revenues were nominal. The Company's Credit Card Debit ExpressTM was first installed in April 1995, and as of June 30, 1996, there were only 24 units in operation and net revenues were nominal. The Credit Card Computer ExpressTM was first installed in April 1996, and as of June 30, 1996, there were only 21 units in operation and net revenues were nominal. For its fiscal years ended June 30, 1994, and June 30, 1995, the Company incurred operating losses of $1,244,117 and $1,645,750, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company incurred an operating loss of $1,696,410. From its inception on January 16, 1992 through March 31, 1996, the Company has incurred operating losses of $5,487,672. The Company anticipates that for the three months ended June 30, 1996, it will incur an operating loss of approximately $600,000. Such operating losses are anticipated to continue into fiscal 1997. See "Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations." As of June 30, 1996, the Company's products have been installed at only 130 locations and net revenues have been nominal. Accordingly, the Company has an extremely limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company's prospects can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business as well as the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by a development stage company. There is currently no basis upon which to assume that the Company's business will prove financially profitable or generate more than nominal operating revenues, and if not, investors may lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. 4
SB-210th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
2. Dependence Upon Key Personnel. The Company is dependent on certain key management personnel, particularly its President and Chief Executive Officer, George R. Jensen, Jr. The loss of services of Mr. Jensen or other executive officers would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business. The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Jensen that expires in June 1997 and one-year employment agreements with the other executive officers each of which contain non-compete agreements. The Company has obtained a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $2,000,000 on Mr. Jensen, and a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $1,000,000 on its Vice President-Research and Development, Haven Brock Kolls, Jr. The Company does not have and does not presently intend to obtain key man life insurance coverage on any of its other executive officers. 3. Uncertainty of New Product Development; Unproven Commercial Viability. While a number of products or services such as gasoline, prepaid telephone cards, public telephones, vending machines, tickets and facsimile machines, are currently provided through unattended, credit card activated terminals, the commercial viability of the use of an unattended, credit card activated control system in connection with the use of copiers and personal computers has not been established. Although commercial production and installation of the Company's products has commenced on a very limited basis, there can be no assurance that the Company's products will be successful or become profitable. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the demand for the Company's products will be sufficient to enable the Company to become profitable. In any such event, investors may lose all or substantially all of their investment in the Company. 4. Dependence on Proprietary Technology; Patent Issues. The Company's success is dependent in part on its ability to obtain patent protection for its products, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. To date, the Company has filed seven patent applications, and intends to file applications for additional patents covering its future products. There can be no assurance that any of the patent applications will be granted, that the Company will develop additional products that are patentable or do not infringe the patents of others, or that any patents issued to the Company will provide the Company with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for its products. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patents issued to the Company will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others. If any of the Company's products is found to have infringed any patent, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain licenses to continue to manufacture and license such product or that the Company will not have to pay damages as a result of such infringement. Even if a patent application is granted for any of the Company's products, there can be no assurance that the patented technology will be a commercial success or result in any profits to the Company. 5
SB-211th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
5. Competition. The Company is not aware of any other business competing in the areas of unattended, credit card activated control systems for use in connection with copiers or personal computers. However, the businesses which have developed unattended, credit card activated control systems currently used in connection with gasoline dispensing, public telephones, ticket dispensing machines, prepaid telephone cards, vending machines, or facsimile machines are capable of developing products or utilizing their existing products in direct competition with the Company. Many of these businesses are well established, have substantially greater resources than the Company and have established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of high quality products. The Company is aware of one business which has developed an unattended, credit card activated device for vending machines. Any such increased competition may result in lower percentages of gross revenues being retained by the Company in connection with its devices, or otherwise may reduce potential profits or result in a loss of some or all of its customer base. 6. Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers. The Company is dependent on third-party suppliers for the various component parts of its products. Although the Company believes there are alternative sources for these component parts, the failure of such suppliers to supply such component parts or the absence of readily available alternative sources could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including delaying the implementation of the Company's business plan to achieve profitability. The Company does not have supply contracts with any of such third-party suppliers and intends to purchase components pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time. See "Business-Procurement". 7. Cash Dividends Not Likely. There can be no assurance that the proposed operations of the Company will result in significant revenues or any level of profitability. Any earnings which may be generated by the Company would be used, for the foreseeable future, to finance the growth of the Company's business. Accordingly, while payment of dividends rests within the discretion of the Board of Directors, no cash dividends on the Common Stock have been declared or paid by the Company to date, and the Company does not presently intend to pay cash dividends on the Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Although the Company paid a special stock dividend in August 1995 consisting of 3 shares of Common Stock for each share of outstanding Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that cash dividends will ever be paid on the Common Stock. See "Description of Securities-Series A Convertible Preferred Stock." The Articles of Incorporation of the Company prohibit the declaration of any dividends on the Common Stock unless and until all unpaid and accumulated dividends on the Preferred Stock have been declared and paid. Through June 30, 1996, the unpaid and cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock equal $1,758,490. On August 1, 1996 this amount will increase by $597,019. See "Description of Securities- Series A Convertible Preferred Stock." 6

8. Need For Market Acceptance; Location Risk. There can be no assurance that demand for the Company's products will be sufficient to enable the Company to become profitable. Likewise, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to install the credit card activated control systems at enough locations to achieve significant revenues or that its operations can be conducted profitably. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's products have been installed at only 130 locations and revenues have been nominal. Alternatively, the locations which would utilize the control systems may not be successful locations. In such event, the revenues of the Company would be adversely affected. The Company may in the future lose locations utilizing its products to competitors, or may not be able to install its products at its competitor's locations. 9. No Assurance of Active Public Market. The Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. Although there is limited trading in the Common Stock, there is no established trading market therefore. Unless and until there is an established trading market for the Common Stock, holders of the Common Stock could find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the Common Stock. See "Description of Securities - Shares Eligible For Future Sale" and "Market For Common Stock." 10. Risks of Low-Priced Stocks. The Common Stock is subject to the so-called penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with a spouse). For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. These regulations may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Common Stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's 7
SB-213th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
presumed control over the market. As of the date hereof, the Common Stock qualifies as a penny stock and is subject to the above regulations. The above regulations could adversely affect the market liquidity for the Common Stock and could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Common Stock as well as the ability of holders of the Common Stock to sell the Common Stock in the secondary market. 11. Charge to Income in the Event of Release of Escrow Shares. If the Company attains certain earning thresholds or the Company's Common Stock attains certain prices required for the release of certain shares of Common Stock currently held in escrow and which are subject to cancellation, such release will require the Company to recognize additional compensation expense. In the event such shares are released, they will be considered outstanding for purposes of calculating per share information concerning the Company. Accordingly, the Company will, in the event of the release of such Common Stock, recognize during the period in which the earning thresholds are met or such per share prices obtained, what could be a substantial charge that would have the effect of substantially increasing the Company's loss or reducing or eliminating earnings, if any, at such time. Such charge will not be deductible for income tax purposes. Although the amount of compensation expense recognized by the Company will not affect the Company's total Shareholders' equity or cash flow, it may have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's securities. If the required earnings threshold was achieved at March 31, 1996, or the Company's Common Stock attained certain prices required for the release of the escrowed shares for a 30-day period during the nine months ended March 31, 1996, the compensatory charge to the Company's operations during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 would have been $2,837,250 (assuming the fair market value approximated $.65 per share on March 31, 1996). This charge would not have affected the Company's cash flow or total Shareholders' equity. The net loss per share of Common Stock would have been ($.37). See "Principal Shareholders - Escrow and Cancellation Arrangements." USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. See "Selling Shareholders" for a list of those Shareholders entitled to receive proceeds from the sales of the Common Stock. The Company would, however, receive $.40 through December 31, 1996 and $.50 thereafter (or such lower exercise price as the Company may determine) upon the exercise of each 1996 Warrant by a Selling Shareholder. There is no assurance that any or all of the 1996 Warrants will be exercised by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus. The Company expects to incur costs of approximately $40,000 in connection with the registration of the 1996 warrants. See "Description of Securities - 1996 Common Stock Purchase Warrants." 8

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Introduction Since January 1992, the Company, a development stage corporation, has been engaged almost exclusively in research and development activities focused on designing, developing, and marketing its unattended, credit card activated control systems. From inception through March 31, 1996, the Company has had nominal operating revenues and has generated funds primarily through the sale of its securities. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $6,499,230 at March 31, 1996 and such losses are expected to continue into fiscal 1997. Results of Operations Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1995. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Company had a net loss of $1,645,750. Overall this loss reflects the continuing development stage activities of the Company including the costs associated with the de-emphasis of the Golfer's OasisTM product line. The Company's Preferred Stock provides for an annual cumulative dividend of $1.50 per share payable to the shareholders of record on February 1 and August 1 each year as declared by the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, in August 1995 the Company paid a special stock dividend of 3 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on August 1, 1995, consisting of an aggregate of 1,908,600 shares of Common Stock. The $2,149,624 loss applicable to common shares or $.19 loss per common share was derived by adding the $1,645,750 net loss and the $503,784 of cumulative preferred dividends for the year ending June 30, 1995 and dividing by the weighted average shares outstanding. Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 remained at a nominal level reflecting the disappointing performance of the Golfer's OasisTM and the slower than anticipated introduction of the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM product line. Expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30,1995 were $1,667,998, representing a $413,914 or 33% increase over the prior year. The primary contributors to this increase were general and administrative expense and a provision for loss on obsolete equipment. General and administrative expense of $653,693 increased sharply by $314,689 which reflects both a general increase in spending to support the expansion of operations as well as several non-operational factors. Specifically, the major contributors to this increase were (a) $120,000 increase in consulting fees which includes a non-recurring charge of $99,750 for the non-cash compensation expense associated with the 150,000 shares of Common Stock issued to an outside consultant, (b) $47,000 increase in rent, which includes a non-recurring charge of $44,000 for the planned lease termination for the Jacksonville facility, (c) 25,000 increase in equipment rental expense associated with the Jacksonville location, (d) $69,000 increase in professional fees due to legal, accounting, and public relations activities, (e) increase of $12,000 in telephone expense, and (f) an increase of $12,000 in postage. 9
SB-215th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
Compensation expense remained level with the prior year. At year end the Company had thirteen full time employees representing a net addition of only one. However the composition of the staff has shifted in support of the new product development. A provision for losses on obsolete equipment of $148,615 was recorded to reflect the Company's decision to deemphasize the Golfer's OasisTM product line. It is management's opinion that the new products already developed represent a better utilization of the Company's resources and will yield returns higher than the capital intensive Golfer's OasisTM. All of the software and technology related to this control system has been incorporated into and will be marketed under the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM line. This charge to expense represents the cost of liquidating the machines, parts, and components in excess of the Company's current requirements. Advertising and interest expense were both level with the prior year. The majority of the interest expense, however, is related to the Company's initial public offering which closed in February 1995 and therefore will not continue. Research and development expense decreased significantly in 1995 by $73,125 primarily due to the transition of projects from outside contracts to in-house personnel which is accounted for under Compensation. Depreciation increased by $7,410 as a function of the increased asset base. Fiscal Quarter And Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996. The fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1996 resulted in a net loss of $627,376 or $.07 loss per common share. This contrasts to a net loss of $299,546 or $.05 loss per common share for the comparable fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1995. A significant portion of this increased loss is due to a $183,000 charge to expense to reflect the issuance of 300,000 shares of Common Stock, at market value, to an outside consultant for services performed. Overall these continuing losses reflect the development stage nature of the Company. Losses are projected to continue until sufficient revenue is generated from various applications of the Company's proprietary technology. Revenue from operations was $13,419, compared to $2,036 from the previous year's fiscal quarter and remains level with the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 1995. However revenue is still well below the level required to be profitable. Expenses for the period were $646,004 which represents an increase over the prior year of $343,146 or 113%, and is due primarily to the change noted above for consulting services. 10
SB-216th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
Compensation increased by $30,280 or 18% over the prior year which is attributable to increased staffing primarily in the marketing function as the Company prepares for the introduction of its credit card activated personal computer. General and administration expenses also increased by $291,674 or 250%. The major contributors to this increase were in the areas of professional fees ($30,707), and travel expense ($27,238). Research and development expense was also up by $29,709 due to the increased number and pace of application projects. For the nine month period ended March 31, 1996, the net operating loss was $1,696,410 compared to last years quarter of $1,005,654, representing a 69% increase and reflecting the accelerated level of operations. Revenue from operations of $61,565 for the period compared to last years $7,383, while a significant increase, remains well below breakdown requirements. Compensation increased 30% and general and administrative expense was up 159% while interest expense was favorably impacted by the elimination of the interest paid the previous period to investors in the Company's initial public offering. Preliminary Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 The Company continued to incur losses during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 of approximately $600,000 and generated nominal revenues. Plan of Operations As of March 31, 1996 the Company's installation base consisted of the following: Credit Card Copy ExpressTM 84, Credit Card Debit ExpressTM 19, Credit Card Vending ExpressTM 11, and the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM 9 (all of which are test sites) for a total of 123 control system units. It is the Company's intention to build the installation base to the break even level as quickly as possible. The Credit Card Computer ExpressTM or C3XTM, will enable libraries and service establishments to offer state of the art computer technology, such as access to the Internet, as well as the capability of charging users via credit card for usage of the equipment. The Credit Card Debit ExpressTM will enable consumers to transfer value from their credit card to their stored value debit card. This stored value card is typically used in connection with copy machines in university libraries. The Company generally retains 15% of the gross revenues from these devices. See "Business - Credit Card Debit Express." 11
SB-217th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
In spite of the de-emphasis of the Golfer's OasisTM product line, the control technology developed can be utilized in other areas of the vending industry. It is the Company's intention to pursue these alternatives under the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM trademark. The Company is utilizing its direct sales force to market the control systems to university and public libraries. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company commenced a private placement offering on June 21, 1995 which was closed on a fully subscribed basis on July 31, 1995 and generated net proceeds of $1,647,567. On March 31, 1996 the Company had cash on hand of $414,551. Management believes that such cash balance together with the net proceeds of the private placement offering which closed in May 1996 of $1,249,264, and the gross proceeds of $1,105,800 obtained by the Company from the exercise of the 1995 Warrants through June 30, 1996, will enable the Company to be sufficiently capitalized through June 30, 1997. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, net cash of $1,353,741 was used by operating activities (primarily compensation and general and administrative expense). Net cash used by investing activities resulted from the purchase of property and equipment of $213,370. The net cash provided by financing activities of $1,499,091 was principally due to the net proceeds generated from the issuance of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of $1,512,183. During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, net cash of $1,323,607 was used by operating activities (principally compensation and general and administrative expenses). Net investing activities of $394,511 were principally due to the purchase of equipment of $445,511, net of proceeds from the sale of equipment of $51,000. The net cash provided by financing activities of $1,756,478 was principally due to the net proceeds generated from the issuance of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of $1,763,585. BUSINESS USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was founded in January 1992. The Company is in the development stage and intends to become the leading owner and licensor of unattended, credit card activated control systems for the vending, copying, debit card and personal computer industries. 12
SB-218th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
The Company's devices make available credit card payment technology in connection with the sale of a variety of products and services. The Company anticipates generating its revenues primarily from retaining a portion of the revenues generated from all credit card transactions conducted through its devices. The Company has developed an unattended, credit card activated control system for vending machines known as the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM, an unattended, credit card activated control system to be utilized with photocopying machines and computer printers known as the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, and an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in connection with debit card purchase/revalue stations known as the Credit Card Debit ExpressTM. The devices allow consumers to use credit cards to pay for those products and services. The Company has also developed the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM which is an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in connection with general use of a personal computer, as well as for the use of on-line services, including the Internet, and for the use of a laser printer. This product enables locations such as public libraries to offer the use of personal computers to the public on an "as needed" basis utilizing credit cards as a method of payment. In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Dell Marketing, L.P., a subsidiary of Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell"), pursuant to which the Company was appointed as a Dell authorized "Remarketer/Integrator". Dell is one of the leading manufacturers of personal computers and other related computer products in the world. Pursuant to the agreement, Dell will manufacture Dell computers containing the Company's C3XTM credit card activated control system. These products will be sold to the Company by Dell either for resale by the Company to its customers or for licensing by the Company to its customers. The Company is entitled to a discount off of the list price of the Dell products being purchased from Dell. Dell may ship the complete computer system (including the integrated C3XTM control system) directly to the Company's customer on a COD basis and remit the applicable discount to the Company. The agreement has an initial term of one year and is cancelable by either party upon thirty days notice. Through June 30, 1996, the Company ordered 25 computer systems from Dell. For the year ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, the Company has spent approximately $163,000 and $130,000, respectively for the development of its proprietary technology. In the year ended June 30, 1995, these amounts include the expense of outside consultants and contractors (approximately $45,000) as well as compensation paid to the Company's employees (approximately $85,000) and included in Compensation in the accompanying financial statements. 13

The Company has been certified by First Data Corp., the leading credit card processor in the United States. First Data has extended to the Company a fixed rate percentage processing charge in connection with the credit card transactions conducted through the Company's products. This charge is paid by the Company out of its share of the gross proceeds. See "Business-Credit Card Processing." Each credit card activated control device records and transmits all transaction data to the Company, and the Company then forwards such data to the credit card processor. After receiving transaction information from the Company, the credit card processor electronically transfers the funds to the Company's bank account. The Company then forwards to the location utilizing the Company's control system its share of the funds. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had 77 Credit Card Copy ExpressTM control systems, 24 Credit Card Debit ExpressTM control systems, and 21 Credit Card Computer ExpressTM control systems at the following commercial locations: Adams State College, Anaheim Public Library, Boston College, Boston Law School, Bradley University Library, Bucks County Community College, Central Arkansas Library System, Clarkson University, Cleveland State University, Colgate University, Denver Public Library, Drexel University, Georgetown University Law Library, Library of Congress, Loyola University Medical School, Michigan State University, Nanuet Public Library, New England Law Library, Nova Southeastern University, Ohio University, Penn State University, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy & Science, Princeton University, San Francisco Public Library, Temple Law Library, University of Arkansas Law Library, University of Chicago, University of the District of Columbia, University of Georgia, University of Houston, University of Maine, University of Maryland, University of Pittsburgh, University of Tennessee, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, Upper Merion Public Library, Villanova University, and William Jeanes Memorial Library. Through June 30, 1996 the total gross revenues received by the Company from these systems has been nominal. The Company has licensed its Credit Card Vending ExpressTM technology to an apparel manufacturer to be used in connection with the sale from vending machines of T-shirts, windbreakers, and tote bags, and has also licensed this technology to two golf courses. In July 1996, the licensing arrangement with the apparel manufacturer was terminated by the apparel manufacturer effective September 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996, there were 8 Credit Card Vending ExpressTM control systems in operation and the gross revenues to the Company from those machines has been nominal. Credit Card Processing 14
SB-220th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 20th
Each of the Company's credit card activated control devices records and transmits all transaction data to the Company, and the Company then forwards such data to the credit card processor. After receiving transaction information from the Company, the credit card processor electronically transfers the funds (less the credit card processor's charge) to the Company. The Company then forwards to the location its share of the funds. The Company and each location have agreed on a percentage split of the gross proceeds from the Company's device. The credit card processor's fees and cost to forward the location's share of the gross proceeds are all paid for out of the Company's portion of the gross revenue. In connection with its Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, the Company is currently retaining 15 to 30% of the gross revenues from each device. The Company anticipates retaining approximately 90% of the gross revenues where it licenses the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM complete system to a location and 20% of the gross revenues where the Company sells a complete system to a location or where the Company licenses only the C3XTM control system to a location for use in connection with existing computer equipment. Industry Trends With trends over the last twenty years indicating an ever increasing customer reliance on the use of credit cards as a method of payment, the Company believes the future of purchasing products and services is in credit cards rather than cash. There are approximately eight hundred million credit cards issued in the United States. The Company has focused its efforts towards developing unattended, credit card activated control systems for use in the vending, copier, debit card and personal computer industries. The Credit Card Vending ExpressTM According to the Vending Times, Census of the Industry, vending sales in the United States have increased from approximately $14.8 billion in 1983 to approximately $29.3 billion in 1994. The Company believes that operators have become increasingly aware of the economic gains to be realized by selling higher priced items from a vending machine. Selling higher priced products from a vending machine is difficult using a coin and dollar bill based system. These difficulties include handling increased amounts of cash as well as collecting, counting, changing and depositing the cash. 15
SB-221st Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
The Company has developed a credit card activated control system to be used in connection with vending machines known as the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM. This product allows owner/operators of vending machines to sell higher priced items from one or more vending machines. Using a valid credit card, the customer swipes his or her credit card to activate the equipment which could offer items without limitation as to price. The Company's device makes the vending machines operable 24 hour per day, 365 days per year and eliminates the need for cash. The Credit Card Copy ExpressTM Traditionally, customers wishing to use a photocopying machine have either used a prepaid, stored value card or cash. In most circumstances, this places a burden on employees of the facility to provide a number of services unrelated to their primary jobs, such as providing change, coin collecting, coin counting and coin reloading. With the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, the attendant no longer needs to interact with the customers for these purposes. The Credit Card Copy ExpressTM provides a cashless method to pay for the use of photocopying machines. The device is attached to the photocopying machine, computer printer, or microfilm/fiche printer in a similar manner as attaching a standard coin acceptor. The device can be attached to either existing or new equipment. The control system enables customers to photocopy documents with the use of a credit card. The Credit Card Debit ExpressTM Many "closed" environments such as universities utilize a private card system to store cash value known as a debit or "stored value" card. The system works by encouraging customers to transfer lump sum cash values onto a magnetic stripe or imbedded chip card that can be used to activate equipment within the closed environment. As the cardholder uses the card to purchase products or services the cash value is deducted from the total value on the card. The Company's Credit Card Debit ExpressTM enables customers to purchase or revalue their debit cards with a credit card and eliminates the need for cash or for an attendant to handle cash, provide change or process credit card transactions. The Credit Card Debit ExpressTM eliminates any reliance on cash by allowing customers to use a credit card to purchase or place additional value on a debit card. The Company's product is presently being used with debit card machines in university libraries. Such debit cards are used for the copy machines located in the library. The Company generally retains 15% of the gross revenues from the devices. 16
SB-222nd Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
The Credit Card Computer ExpressTM The Company believes that the growing dependence on personal computers has created an environment where there is a need for access to personal computers by the general public on an "as needed" basis. To meet this need, the Company has developed the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM. Through June 30, 1996, the Company's system is in commercial use at 21 locations, substantially all of which are public libraries. The device enables the public to utilize personal computers and/or the services they offer on an "as-needed" basis. The system is designed so that the computer could not be used until a valid credit card is swiped through the control system. Once the user is authorized to proceed, the system would charge for time in use, printed output, and any modem activity. The Company could either sell the C3XTM control device to locations which already have personal computers, or alternatively, either license or sell to the location a Credit Card Computer ExpressTM complete system. If the complete system is purchased by the location from the Company, the Company anticipates retaining 20% of the gross revenues, or if the complete system is purchased by the Company and licensed to the location, the Company anticipates retaining approximately 90% of the gross revenues. During February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Dell Marketing, L.P., a subsidiary of Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell"), pursuant to which the Company was appointed as a Dell authorized "Remarketer/Integrator." Dell is one of the leading manufacturers of personal computers and other related computer products in the world. Pursuant to the agreement, Dell will manufacture Dell computers containing the Company's C3XTM credit card activated control system. See "Business Procurement." These products will be sold to the Company by Dell either for resale by the Company to its customers or for licensing by the Company to its customers. The Company is entitled to a discount off of the list price of the Dell products being purchased from Dell. Dell may ship the complete computer system (including the integrated C3XTM control device) directly to the Company's customer on a COD basis and remit the applicable discount to the Company. The agreement has initial term of one year and is cancelable by either party upon thirty days notice. Through June 30, 1996, the Company ordered 25 computer systems from Dell. The initial customer base to be targeted by the Company for the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM is public and university libraries. The Company believes that the personal computer is becoming an integral part of how library patrons access and utilize the information available to them. The Company also believes that the majority of these libraries do not currently offer general use personal computers to their patrons. The Company will also pursue print shops, cyber cafes, hotels, airports, convention and conference centers, and various retail outlets as potential customers. 17

Marketing The Company is currently marketing its products through its full-time sales staff consisting of six persons to university and public libraries, either directly or through facility management companies servicing these locations. Procurement The Company's control system devices consist of a card reader, printer, amplifier, circuit board and micro chip in a specially designed housing. The devices are currently manufactured to the Company's design specification by an independent contractor, LMC - Autotech Technologies, LP. The Company has recently contracted for the purchase of 250 control devices, for a total purchase price of $143,000. Through June 30, 1996, 148 units have been delivered and $85,000 has been included in acounts payable. The Company anticipates obtaining its complete computer systems (other than the C3XTM control system) from Dell pursuant to the agreement entered into with Dell. Competition The Company believes that there are currently no other businesses competing in the areas of unattended, credit card activated control systems for use in connection with copiers or personal computers. However, the businesses which have developed unattended, credit card activated control systems currently in use in connection with gasoline dispensing, public telephones, prepaid telephone cards, ticket dispensing machines, vending machines, or facsimile machines, are capable of developing products or utilizing their existing products in direct competition with the Company. Many of these businesses are well established, have substantially greater resources than the Company and have established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of high quality products. The Company is aware of one business which has developed an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in connection with vending machines. Any such increased competition may result in lower percentages of gross revenues being retained by the Company in connection with its licensing arrangements, or otherwise may reduce potential profits or result in a loss of some or all of its customer base. See "Risk Factors - Competition". Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Information The Company has applied for federal registration of its trademarks Credit Card Printer ExpressTM, Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, Credit Card Debit ExpressTM, Credit Card Computer ExpressTM, and C3XTM. Much of the technology developed or to be developed by the Company is subject to trade secret protection. To reduce the risk of loss of trade secret protection through disclosure, the Company has entered into confidentiality agreements with its key employees. 18
SB-224th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 24th
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining such trade secret protection or that others will not capitalize on certain of the Company's technology. The Company has applied for seven United States letters patent and has applied for foreign letters patent in connection therewith. See "Risk Factors - Dependence on Proprietary Technology; Patent Issues." Employees The Company has sixteen full-time employees and two part-time employees. Properties The Company leases its principal executive offices, consisting of approximately 3400 square feet, at 3 Glenhardie Corporate Center, 1265 Drummers Lane, Suite 306, Wayne, Pennsylvania for a monthly rental of $3,300. The lease expires on August 31, 1997. The Company also leases approximately 5,000 square feet of warehouse space in Jacksonville, Florida, for $2,300 per month. The lease expires on April 30, 1997. It is the Company's intention to vacate or sublease this facility prior to the expiration date, and accordingly the Company has reserved an appropriate amount for the continuing expense. Legal Proceedings In January 1995, Norman H. Greenspun, a former officer and Director, commenced litigation against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, in the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The complaint alleges that the plaintiff was subject to age discrimination in conjunction with the termination of his employment in violation of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. The complaint seeks unspecified damages in excess of $100,000. In May 1996, the Court granted preliminary objections to the complaint, and dismissed the action against the Company's Chief Executive Officer and struck plaintiff's request for punitive damages and a jury trial against the Company. The Company believes that the action has no merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. 19

In June and July 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,100,000 1995 Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("1995 Warrants") pursuant to a private placement under Regulation D of the Act and various state securities laws. The Company has registered the Common Stock underlying the 1995 Warrants under the Act and appropriate state securities laws, and such Common Stock when and if issued will be freely tradeable thereunder. The 1995 Warrants entitle the holder hereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $.50. The exercise price of the 1995 Warrants had been reduced by the Company to $.40 during the period of time from February 12, 1996 through April 30, 1996. Subsequent to April 30, 1996, the exercise price of the 1995 Warrants was further reduced to $.30 until June 30, 1996, and such further reduction was made retroactive to those holders who had already exercised the 1995 Warrants at $.40. As a result thereof, the Company returned the sum of $87,200 to such holders. At June 30, 1996, a total of 3,686,000 1995 Warrants had been exercised for a total exercise price to the Company of $1,105,800. There are 1,414,000 unexercised 1995 Warrants as of June 30, 1996. The 1995 Warrants are exercisable on or before January 31, 2001. During calendar year 1995, the Company issued an aggregate of 280,000 shares of Common Stock to Jerome Wenger, a consultant to the Company, in exchange for consulting services. These shares were registered under the Act and freely tradeable thereunder. In February 1996, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share to Samuel Investors International LDC, a Cayman Island Company. Such shares were issued pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Act, and such issuance was exempt from registration under the Act. In March 1996, the Company issued 300,000 shares of Common Stock to Diversified Corporate Consulting Group, L.C., a consultant to the Company, in exchange for consulting services. These shares were registered under the Act and are freely tradeable. Pursuant to the request of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, Mr. Jensen has agreed that unless certain conditions are satisfied, either 4,365,000 or, alternatively, 1,030,000 shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by him would be cancelled by the Company. In the event that any of Mr. Jensen's shares of Common Stock are cancelled, such cancelled shares would no longer be issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Unless and until any such shares would be cancelled, and subject to the restrictions on sale or transfer pursuant to the escrow arrangement, Mr. Jensen has retained all rights pertaining to such shares, including voting rights. See "Principal Shareholders-Escrow and Cancellation Arrangements." 40

Common Stock The holder of each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting for directors. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for payment of dividends. No dividend may be paid on the Common Stock until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets of the Company available for distribution, subject to the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock of $10.00 per share and any unpaid and accumulated dividends on the Preferred Stock. The holders of the Common Stock do not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase shares, obligations, 1996 Warrants, or other securities of the Company. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock The holders of shares of Preferred Stock have the number of votes per share equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share is convertible (i.e., 1 share of Preferred Stock equals 10 votes). The shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the vote of the shareholders of the Company, including the election of directors. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to an annual cumulative cash dividend of $1.50 per annum, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Any and all accumulated and unpaid cash dividends on the Preferred Stock must be declared and paid prior to the declaration and payment of any dividends on the Common Stock. Any unpaid and accumulated dividends will not bear interest. As of June 30, 1996 the accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock were $1,758,490. An additional $597,019 of dividends will accrue on August 1, 1996. Any unpaid and accumulated dividends will not bear interest. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 10 shares of fully issued and non-assessable Common Stock. Accrued and unpaid dividends earned on shares of Preferred Stock being converted into Common Stock are also convertible into Common Stock at the rate $1.00 per share of Common Stock at the time of conversion and whether or not such dividends have then been declared by the Company. As of June 30, 1996, a total of 21,175 shares of Preferred Stock have been converted into Common Stock and accrued and unpaid dividends therein have been converted into 41,626 shares of Common Stock. The conversion rate of the 41
SB-247th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 47th
Preferred Stock (and any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) will be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations, and in connection with certain other issuances of Common Stock by the Company. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a distribution in preference to the Common Stock in the amount of $10.00 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Company has the right, at any time on or after January 1, 1998, to redeem all or any part of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock for the sum of $11.00 per share plus any and all unpaid and accumulated dividends thereon. Upon notice by the Company of such call, the holders of the Preferred Stock so called will have the opportunity to convert their shares of Preferred Stock and any unpaid and accumulated dividends thereon (whether or not such dividends have been declared by the Company as of such date) into shares of Common Stock. The Company paid a special stock dividend consisting of 3 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on August 1, 1995. The stock dividend consisted of an aggregate of 1,908,600 shares of Common Stock. 1996 Common Stock Purchase Warrants Each 1996 Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.40 per share through December 31, 1996, and at an exercise price of $.50 thereafter. The 1996 Warrants are exercisable at any time through May 31, 2001, or such later date as may be determined by the Company ("1996 Warrant Termination Date"). As of the date hereof, no 1996 Warrants have been exercised. The 1996 Warrants have been issued pursuant to a 1996 Warrant Agreement dated as of May 1, 1996, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the 1996 warrant agent (the "1996 Warrant Agreement"). As a condition to obtaining their Common Stock, the Selling Shareholders must exercise the 1996 Warrants by tendering the per share exercise price required under the 1996 Warrant Agreement. In the event all 5,200,000 1996 Warrants are exercised at $.40, the Company would receive gross proceeds of $2,080,000. There is no assurance that any or all of the 1996 Warrants will be exercised by the Selling Shareholders, and if none of the 1996 Warrants are exercised, the Company would not receive any gross proceeds. Any such exercise may occur through the 1996 Warrant Termination Date. The Company has agreed, at its expense, to register for resale by the Selling Shareholders the Common Stock underlying the 1996 Warrants under the Act, and to register or qualify the Common Stock 42
SB-248th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 48th
in those states in which the Selling Shareholders are located. The exercise price of the 1996 Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 1996 Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including a stock split of, stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or recapitalization of the Common Stock. Upon the merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, or other similar transaction, the 1996 Warrant holders shall, at the option of the Company, be required to exercise the 1996 Warrants immediately prior to the closing of the transaction, or such 1996 Warrants shall automatically expire. Upon such exercise, the 1996 Warrant holders shall participate on the same basis as the holders of Common Stock in connection with the transaction. The 1996 Warrants do not confer upon the holder any voting or any other rights of a shareholder of the Company. Upon notice to the 1996 Warrant holders, the Company has the right, at any time and from time to time, to reduce the exercise price or to extend the Warrant Termination Date of the Warrants. Shares Eligible for Future Sale Of the 23,023,976 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on June 30, 1996, 10,204,376 are freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Act (other than shares held by "affiliates" of the Company), and the remaining 12,819,600 are "restricted securities". As of June 30, 1996, there are 796,025 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, 293,075 of which are freely transferable without further registration or restriction under the Act (other than shares held by "affiliates" of the Company), and the remaining 502,950 are "restricted securities". The 796,025 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof are convertible into 7,960,250 shares of Common Stock. Of such shares of Common Stock, 2,930,750 would be fully transferable without registration or regulation under the Act and 5,029,500 would be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144. As set forth in the prior paragraph, there are 12,819,600 shares of Common Stock and 502,950 shares of Preferred Stock which are "restricted securities" and cannot be resold without registration, except in reliance upon Rule 144 or another applicable exemption from registration. Of such Common Stock, an aggregate of 8,511,500 shares may not be sold or transferred until December 29,1996. See "Principal Shareholders-Escrow And Cancellation Arrangements." Subject to such prohibition, during calendar year 1996, 12,539,600 shares of such Common Stock and 152,950 shares of such Preferred Stock are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. During calendar year 1997, 180,000 shares of Common Stock and 152,950 of Preferred Stock would become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. During calendar year 1998, the 43
SB-249th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 49th
remaining 100,000 shares of Common Stock and 180,000 shares of Preferred Stock would become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. The Company is unable to predict the effect that sales made under Rule 144 or otherwise may have on the market price of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock prevailing at the time of any such sales. As of June 30, 1996, there are outstanding options to acquire 3,435,000 shares of Common Stock, 220,000 of which are exercisable at $.05 per share, 2,565,000 of which are exercisable at $.25 per share, and 650,000 of which are exercisable at $.65 per share. There are also outstanding purchase rights to acquire 157,300 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share. All of such Common Stock, if issued on the date hereof, would be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. In connection with the options exercisable at $.25 and $.65 per share, the Company has agreed, at its cost and expense, to file a registration statement under the Act and applicable state securities laws covering all of the Common Stock underlying the options before the end of calendar year 1996. As of June 30, 1996, there are also 1,414,000 shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company to the holders of the outstanding 1995 Warrants. Such Common Stock, if issued, will be freely tradeable under the Act. See "Description of Securities." In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated), including any affiliate of the Company, who beneficially owns "restricted securities" for a period of at least two years is entitled to sell within any three-month period, shares equal in number to the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of the same class of shares, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the same class of shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the required notice of sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission.The seller must also comply with the notice and manner of sale requirements of Rule 144, and there must be current public information available about the Company. In addition, any person (or persons whose shares must be aggregated) who is not, at the time of sale, nor during the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company, and who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least three years, can sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the notice, manner of sale, public information or the volume limitations described above. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification As permitted by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 ("BCL"), the Company's By-laws provide that Directors of the Company will not be personally liable, as such, for monetary damages for any action taken unless the Director has breached or failed to perform the duties of a Director under the BCL and the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful 44

misconduct or recklessness. This limitation of personal liability does not apply to any responsibility or liability pursuant to any criminal statute, or any liability for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, State or local law. The By-laws also include provisions for indemnification of the Company's Directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the BCL. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Directors and Shareholders USA Technologies, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of USA Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Corporation) as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1995 and the period January 16, 1992 (inception) through June 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of USA Technologies, Inc. at June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1995 and for the period January 16, 1992 (inception) through June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

USA Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Corporation) Notes to Financial Statements 1. Business USA Technologies, Inc. a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was incorporated on January 16, 1992. In May 1995, the Company changed its name from USA Entertainment Center, Inc. to USA Technologies, Inc. to more accurately reflect its business. Substantially all of the Company's activities to date have been devoted to raising capital, developing markets, and starting up operations which commenced during July 1994. The Company intends to become the leading owner and licenser of credit card activated control systems for the vending, copying, debit card, and personal computer industries. The Company's products make available credit card payment technology in connection with the sale of various products and services. Through June 30, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the Company has installed 42 and 84 Credit Card Copy ExpressTM control systems, 9 and 19 Credit Card Debit ExpressTM control systems, and at March 31, 1996 9 Credit Card Computer ExpressTM control systems at various colleges, universities and public libraries. The Company generally retains twenty to thirty percent of the gross revenues in connection with the machines. To date the total gross revenues received by the Company from these systems has been nominal. The Company has also licensed and installed refreshments centers which utilize the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM control system. The total gross revenues received to date by the Company have been nominal. The Company has also recently licensed its Credit Card Vending ExpressTM technology to an apparel manufacturer to be used in connection with the sale from a vending machine of T-shirts, windbreakers, and tote bags. The Company generally retains 20% of the gross revenues from the machines. Through June 30, 1995 and March 31, 1996 11 of the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM control systems are in operation and the total gross revenues to the Company from these machines have been nominal. 2. Accounting Policies Interim Financial Information The financial statements and disclosures included herein for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and for the date of inception through March 31, 1996 are unaudited. These financial statements and disclosures have been prepared by the F-11

USA Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Corporation) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. Accounting Policies (continued) Interim Financial Information (continued) Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over five to seven years for financial statement purposes and accelerated methods for income tax reporting purposes. Revenue Recognition Licensing revenues are recognized upon the usage of the Company's credit card activated control systems. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

USA Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Corporation) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. Accounting Policies (continued) Income Taxes (continued) Such differences result from differences in the timing of recognition by the Company of certain accrued expenses, and the periods of amortization and depreciation of certain assets. Loss Per Common Share Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. No exercise of stock options, purchase rights, stock purchase warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock and cumulative preferred dividends was assumed because the exercise of these securities would be antidilutive. Additionally, the effect of the stock dividend as discussed in Note 9 has not been considered at June 30, 1995 in the loss per common share calculation as it would be antidilutive. The 4,365,000 common shares held in escrow (Note 11) are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating the loss per common share for all periods presented. 3. Property and Equipment Property and equipment consist of the following: June 30 March 31 1995 1994 1996 ------------ ------------- ------------- (Unaudited) Equipment components $ 41,719 $ 118,657 $ 375,575 Equipment installed 119,604 36,199 177,599 Furniture and equipment 52,919 45,631 55,580 Vehicles 17,333 17,333 17,333 ------------ ------------- ------------- 231,575 217,820 626,087 Less accumulated depreciation 24,192 9,324 39,060 ------------ ------------- ------------- $ 207,383 $ 208,496 $ 587,027 ============ ============= ============= F-13

USA Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Corporation) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 3. Property and Equipment (continued) The Company discontinued the Golf Oasis(TM) vending machines and an agreement was entered into with the manufacturer of the machines to repurchase certain of the machines at an amount significantly below the purchase amount. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a charge for the permanent impairment to the carrying value of the related assets of $149,000 during the year ended June 30, 1995. 4. Accrued Expenses June 30 March 31 1995 1994 1996 ------------- -------------- -------------- (Unaudited) Accrued rent $ 19,000 $ - $ 18,865 Accrued interest--shareholders - 43,293 4,853 Accrued payroll 352 49,787 15,284 ------------- -------------- -------------- $ 19,352 $ 93,080 $ 39,002 ============= ============== ============== 5. Related Party Transactions At June 30, 1995 and 1994 and March 31, 1996, approximately $19,000, $15,000, and $14,000, respectively, of the Company's accounts payable are due to several shareholders for various legal and technical services performed. The Company borrowed $40,000 from its President and shareholder of the Company during September 1992 in the form of a 5% demand note payable. The note was repaid to the President and shareholder during August 1993. 6. Commitments The Company conducts its operations from various facilities under leases. Rental expense under such arrangements was approximately $72,000 and $69,000, respectively, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, $57,000 and $72,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and $222,000 for the period January 16, 1992 (date of inception) to March 31, 1996. Future F-14

USA Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Corporation) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 6. Commitments (continued) minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases subsequent to June 30, 1995 are approximately $76,000 in 1996, $78,000 in 1997, and $9,000 in 1998. The Company closed its storage facility in Jacksonville, Florida during the year ended June 30, 1995. Accordingly, a $44,000 charge to operations was recorded during 1995 representing the future minimum lease payments due under the related leases net of anticipated sub-lease payments. The Company entered into a commitment to acquire certain control system units. As of June 30, 1995, $100,000 was included in accounts payable (and subsequently paid in August 1995). An additional $150,000 was paid on March 31, 1996. The Company has several employment agreements with its officers, none of which extend beyond two years. 7. Income Taxes At June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company had a net tax operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,565,000 and $1,016,000, respectively, to offset future taxable income expiring through 2010. At June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,564,000 and $894,000, respectively, which were reduced by a valuation allowance of same amounts. The deferred tax assets arose primarily from the use of different accounting methods for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes principally related to the accounting for preoperating costs and research and development and net operating loss carryforwards. As of June 30, 1993, the timing and manner in which the Company can utilize operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions for capitalized items in any year was limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership of corporations. The Company believes that such limitation will have an impact on the ultimate realization of its carryforwards and future tax deductions (generated through June 30, 1993). Losses generated for income tax purposes for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are not expected to be subject to the limitation. F-15

The effects of this stock dividend have been reflected in shareholders' equity in the accompanying financial statements as if the stock dividend had occurred on June 30, 1995 for the 636,200 Series A Convertible shares issued and outstanding on June 30, 1995. Additionally, on May 12, 1995 the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to authorize the issuance of up to a maximum of 34,000,000 shares of Common Stock, without par value, and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, without par value.

Through June 30, 1995, the Company issued 150,000 shares under this agreement. Professional fees of $99,750 were charged to operations during the year ended June 30, 1995 representing the estimated fair value of the shares issued. On December 29, 1993, the Company commenced an offering of public securities in an effort to raise, before offering costs, a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $3,000,000. The offering permitted a minimum of 50,000 units or a maximum of 300,000 units at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of 1 share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 7 shares of Common Stock. The offering terminated on February 28, 1995 and a total of 300,000 units were sold generating net proceeds of $ 2,345,104 ($3,000,000 less offering costs of $654,896). F-17

Stock Transactions (continued) During October 1992, the Company's Board of Directors authorized private offering of $2,000,000 for up to 200 units at a unit price of $10,000 which includes 30,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company allocated $9.97 per share to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock due to the Preferred Stock's senior position.

Additionally, the President of the Company has agreed that his 4,365,000 escrowed common shares would be canceled by the Company and would no longer be issued and outstanding unless certain performance measures as specified by the Commission are achieved. If the performance measures are achieved, the common shares released from escrow will result in a compensatory charge to the Company's operations. The charge will be based on the fair value of the Company's common shares on the date the shares are released from escrow. During the year ended June 30, 1995 and the nine months ended March 31, 1996, there was no such charge to operations. The 4,365,000 common shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating the loss per common share for all periods presented. 12. Events Subsequent to the Date of the Report of Independent Auditors (Unaudited) During February 1996, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with an agreement with a consulting company whereby the Company issued and registered for sale 300,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for consulting and advisory services to be rendered to the Company. Consulting costs of $183,000 were charged to operations in connection with this agreement. During February 1996, the Company sold 50,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for $200,000 to a private investment company pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. During February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor whereby it committed to acquire 250 control system units for approximately $143,000. Based on deliveries through June 30, 1996, approximately $85,000 was included in accounts payable in connection with this obligation. An additional $58,000 is payable upon the delivery of all units. During April 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,300,000 private placement offering of 130 units at a unit price of $10,000 and each unit includes 40,000 1996 common stock purchase warrants and 1,000 shares of Series A convertible Preferred Stock. All 130 units were sold, generating net proceeds of $1,249,264. Each 1996 warrant is exercisable at any time prior to June 1, 2001 for one share of common stock at $.50 per share, provided that the exercise price is $.40 per share through December 31, 1996. F-20

USA Technologies, Inc. (A Development Stage Corporation) Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 12. Events Subsequent to the Date of the Report of Independent Auditors (Unaudited) (continued) During the period February 12, 1996 through April 30, 1996, the exercise price of the 1995 warrants (Note 9) was reduced to $.40 per warrant. (The original warrant exercise price was $.50.) Subsequent to April 30, 1996, the exercise price of the 1995 warrants was further reduced to $.30 until June 30, 1996, and such further reduction was made retroactive to those holders who had already exercised the 1995 warrants at $.40. Accordingly, the Company returned $87,200 to such holders. Through June 30, 1996, a total of 3,686,000 1995 warrants had been exercised generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,105,800. During April 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the increase in the number of the Company's authorized common stock to 45,000,000 and to increase the number of designated shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from 700,000 to 1,000,000. During March, April, and May 1996, the Company issued options to acquire up to 650,000 shares of its common stock to certain employees of the Company at $.65 per share, which was determined to be at or above the fair market value on the date of grant. These options principally vest in quarterly intervals over a five year period. During July 1996, the Company formalized certain agreements with two Directors of the Company to perform consulting services during fiscal year 1996.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS Item 24. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Section 1746 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended ("BCL"), authorizes a Pennsylvania corporation to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving such persons because of their holding or having held such positions with the corporation and to purchase and maintain insurance of such indemnification. The Company's Bylaws substantively provide that the Company will indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent provided by Section 1746 of the BCL. Section 1713 of the BCL permits a Pennsylvania corporation, by so providing in its By-laws, to eliminate the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for any action taken unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office and the breach or failure constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. In addition, no such limitation of liability is available with respect to the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local law. The Company's By-laws eliminate the personal liability of the directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 1713 of the BCL. Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

Item 28. Undertakings. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in II-11
SB-285th Page of 88TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 85th
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
