1. 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, 2016. 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2017. The balance sheet at June 30, 2016 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 UNCOLLECTIBLE 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 uncollectible 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.

Table of Contents

USA Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when management determines the balance is uncollectible and the Company ceases collection efforts. Management believes that the allowance recorded is adequate to provide for its estimated credit losses.

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 for 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, Net

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, Net

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.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s intangible assets include goodwill, non-compete agreements, brand, developed technology and customer relationships.

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.

Table of Contents

USA Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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

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

The Company’s financial instruments, principally 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. The company makes an adjustment for rebates and product returns.

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 financing company for the devices. The Company utilizes its best estimate of selling price when calculating the revenue to be recorded under these leases. The leases qualify for sales type lease accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognizes a portion of lease payments as interest income for leases not placed with a third-party financing company. At the end of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device at its residual value.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Company adopted the provisions of (“ASU”) 2014-16 in determining whether the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“preferred stock”) is more equity-like or debt-like, and whether derivatives embedded in the preferred stock, if any, must be bifurcated and accounted for separately from its host contract. Based upon management’s review of the preferred stock features, management has determined that the preferred stock is more equity-like and that the embedded derivatives do not require bifurcation. As such, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the company's financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY AWARDS

In accordance with the (“ASC”) Topic 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 (“ASC”) Topic 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. Accordingly, tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of (“ASC”) Topic 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, 2016 and 2015.

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 are 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.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company follows the (“ASC”) Topic 350-40, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or obtained for Internal Use”, which provides for guidance for what costs can be capitalized for internal use.

Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in fixed assets 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company is evaluating whether the effects of the following recent accounting will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2016, the (“FASB”) issued (“ASU”) 2016-19 – “Technical Corrections and Improvements”.

In January 2017, the (“FASB”) issued (“ASU”) 2017-04 – “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment.

RECLASSIFICATION

Commencing with the June 30, 2016 financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it presents certain unfunded finance receivables in its consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of cash flows. These finance receivables have yet to be and are expected to be funded by a third-party funding source. The previous accounting classification recorded these amounts as accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of cash flows. The impact of this change on the Statement of Cash Flows is as follows:

6. LINE OF CREDIT

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and other ancillary documents (as amended, the “Heritage Loan Documents”) with Heritage Bank of Commerce (“Heritage Bank”), providing for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in an amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Heritage Line of Credit”) at an interest rate calculated based on the Federal Reserves’ Prime, which was 3.75% at 12/31/2016, plus 2.25%. The Heritage Line of Credit and the Company’s obligations under the Heritage Loan Documents are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property. The maturity date of the Heritage Line of Credit is March 29, 2017. At the time of maturity, all outstanding advances under the Heritage Line of Credit as well as any unpaid interest are due and payable. Prior to maturity of the Heritage Line of Credit, the Company may prepay amounts due under the Heritage Line of Credit without penalty, and subject to the terms of the Heritage Loan Documents, may re-borrow any such amounts.

The Company and Heritage Bank entered into a Second Amendment as of September 30, 2016 to the Loan and Security Agreement.

The Heritage Loan Documents contain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company. The Heritage Loan Documents also require the Company to achieve a minimum Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Heritage Loan Documents, measured on a quarterly basis; that the number of the Company’s connections as of the end of each fiscal quarter shall not decrease below a specified number or by more than five percent as compared to the number of the Company’s connections as of the end of the immediately prior fiscal quarter; and that the Company shall maintain a minimum balance of unrestricted cash at the Bank.

The balance due on the Heritage line of credit was $7.1 million at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, $4.9 million was available under our line of credit. Interest expense on the line of credit was approximately $200 thousand and $100 thousand for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company periodically enters into capital lease obligations to finance certain office, network equipment and related support for use in its daily operations. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2016 the Company commenced capital lease obligations of $326 thousand. The obligations are due in two to five years in monthly or quarterly installments

of $1 thousand to $21 thousand. The value of the acquired equipment is included in property and equipment and amortized accordingly.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of June 30, 2016, the fair values of the Company’s Level 3 financial instrument totaled $3.7 million for 2.2 million warrants. The Level 3 financial instrument consist of common stock warrants issued by the Company in March 2011, which include features requiring liability treatment of the warrants. The fair value of warrants issued in March 2011 to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock is based on valuations performed by an independent third-party valuation firm. The fair value was determined using proprietary valuation models using the quality of the underlying securities of the warrants, restrictions on the warrants and security underlying the warrants, time restrictions and precedent sale transactions completed in the secondary market or in other private transactions. During the six months ended December 31, 2016 all of the aforementioned warrants were exercised and the then-fair value warrant liability was reclassified as Common Stock.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	December 31,				December 31,

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between level 1, level 2, or level 3 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company held no Level 1 or Level 2 financial instruments.

9. INCOME TAXES

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, income tax benefits of $0 and $0.1 million, respectively, (substantially all deferred income taxes) were recorded. The benefits are based upon income (loss) before income taxes using an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 30% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. However, such benefits actually calculated have been limited to $0.1 million pending the materialization of additional income before income taxes resulting in an increase of $0.03 million in valuation allowances for the calculated additional benefits. The benefits for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were reduced by a provision for the tax effect of the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities which was treated discretely. All of those warrants were exercised as of September 30, 2016.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, income tax provisions of $0.2 million were recorded (substantially all deferred income taxes). The provisions consist of the tax effect of the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities which was treated discreetly offset by a tax benefit based upon loss before provision before income taxes using an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 41% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.

STOCK OPTIONS

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

In August 2016 stock options were awarded to purchase up to 20,080 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.98 per share. The options vest on August 31, 2017, and expire if not exercised prior to August 31, 2023. The options are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The fair value of options granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:


	Six months ended
	December 31,
	2016			2015
Expected volatility		50	%		63-66	%
Expected life		4 years			4-4.5 years
Expected dividends		—	%		—	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.06	%		1.34-1.49	%
Number of options granted		20,080			119,586
Weighted average exercise price	$	4.98		$	3.38
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	1.98		$	1.77

Stock based compensation related to stock options for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $47 thousand and $92 thousand, respectively and $95 thousand and $207 thousand, respectively for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

COMMON STOCK

On July 1, 2016 $40 thousand of stock grants were awarded to each non-employee Director based on the prior 30-day average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock, for a total of 56,784 shares. The shares vest as follows: 18,960 on 07/01/2017, 18,960 on 07/01/2018 and 18,954 on 07/01/2019. The total expense recognized for these grants during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 was $37 thousand and $73 thousand.

During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Company awarded an aggregate of 78,711 shares to its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Services Officer under its fiscal year 2016 long term stock incentive plan and an aggregate of 6,254 shares to three non-employee Directors in satisfaction of board fees. During the six-month period, the Chief

Executive Officer cancelled 6,533 shares of Common Stock awarded to him under the 2016 fiscal year long term stock incentive plan in satisfaction of $31 thousand of related payroll obligations.

During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,401,408 shares upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

LTI PLANS

The Board approved the Fiscal Year 2017 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 LTI Stock Plan”) which provides that executive officers would be awarded shares of common stock of the Company in the event that certain metrics relating to the Company’s 2017 fiscal year would result in specified ranges of year-over-year percentage growth. The metrics are total number of connections as of June 30, 2017 as compared to total number of connections as of June 30, 2016 (50% weighting) and adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2017 fiscal year as compared to the adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2016 fiscal year (50% weighting).

If none of the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not be awarded any shares. If all of the year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) - $675,000 (150% of base salary); and Chief Services Officer (“CSO”) - $250,000 (100% of base salary). If all of the maximum distinguished year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: CEO - $1,012,500 (225% of base salary); and CSO - $375,000 (150% of base salary). Assuming the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the award would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric. The shares awarded under the 2017 LTI Stock Plan would vest as follows: one-third at the time of issuance; one-third on June 30, 2018; and one-third on June 30, 2019.

The Company had long-term stock incentive plans (“LTI”) in prior fiscal years for its then executive officers. Stock based compensation related to the LTI plans was as follows in the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

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 unrelated to our operating performance;

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 financing companies under our QuickStart program resulting in improved net cash used by 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 the Company to operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others;

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

whether our remediation of the control deficiencies that gave rise to 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, 2016, would be effective or successful;

Table of Contents

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

our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired.

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.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

The Company generates revenue in multiple ways. During the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we derived 76% and 74% of our revenues from recurring license and transaction fees related to our ePort Connect service and 24% and 26% of our revenue from equipment sales, respectively. 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 recurr ing 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;

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

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

Highlights of the Company are below:

Over 77 employees with its headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania;

Over 11,900 customers and 469,000 connections to our service;

Table of Contents

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

77 United States and foreign patents are in force;

The Company’s fiscal year ends June 30 th ; and

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

The Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $28 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

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 financing company for the devices. At the end of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device for a nominal fee.

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

Table of Contents

Non-compete agreements, brand, developed technology, and customer relationships, 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.

Revenue. The increase in net new connections of approximately 21,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to approximately 20,000 in the same period last year represents an increase of 5%. The Company’s total connections have grown to 469,000 at December 31, 2016 compared to 369,000 at December 31, 2015, or a 27% increase year-over-year. The increase in total connections is driving the growth in license and transaction fees of 22% quarter-over-quarter. The increase in equipment revenue is due to more units sold during the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period last year.

Gross Margin. License and transaction fees gross margin for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 decreased from 33.7% to 31.6% compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in license and transaction gross margin is attributable to, among other things, reduced fees periodically extended to customers who offer strategic and/or large market opportunities and increased merchant fees associated with a change in card mix. License and transaction fees gross margins increased from 31.3% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 to 31.6% for the three month period ended December 31, 2016.

Table of Contents

Equipment gross margins increased from 18.1% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2015 to 21.2% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016. The increase in equipment gross margin is primarily attributable to cost reductions with respect to our products in the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015. Equipment gross margins increased from 20.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 to 21.2% for the three month period ended December 31, 2016.

Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased $1.2 million or 25% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the prior period in 2015, representing 28% and 26% of sales, respectively. The $0.4 million increase in professional services is attributable to operational compliance costs associated with collection efforts, Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX 404) compliance, and internal audit. The $0.2 million increase in marketing related expenses is due to marketing and customer promotions. The $0.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to the assets acquired in the Vendscreen acquisition. The $0.2 million increase in premises, equipment and insurance costs is primarily due to increasing rent expense for leased properties and employer business insurance. As reflected in Table 5 below, our SG&A expense for the December 31, 2016 quarter was approximately $1.1 million less than our SG&A expense for the September 30, 2016 quarter, representing 26.6% and 32.0% of sales, respectively.

Total Other Income (Expense). 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. Using the Black-Scholes model, the Company adjusts the warrant liability for fair value through the income statement quarterly. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not record any expense for the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities compared to recording an expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. As the warrants giving rise to the warrant liability were exercised in September 2016, there was no such liability recorded in the December 31, 2016 quarter.

Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) is a function of the items described above. Net income for the second quarter was $0.2 million compared to net loss of $0.9 million for the comparable period a year ago. The primary reason for the difference in net income (loss) was the warrant liability charge taken during the December 31, 2015 quarter. The Company earned $.01 per share during the quarter as compared to a loss of ($0.02) per share during the prior corresponding quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, adjusted EBITDA decreased to $1.7 million from $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses which was partially offset by an increase in gross profit.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss). Non-GAAP net income decreased to $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015 of $0.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses which was partially offset by an increase in gross profit.

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding. The increase in the weighted average number of common shares was due to exercises of warrants and to stock issued through the Company’s stock based compensation programs.

Revenue. The Company’s total connections have grown to 469,000 at December 31, 2016 compared to 369,000 at December 31, 2015, or a 27% increase year-over-year. The increase in total connections is driving the growth in license and transaction fees of 24% year over year.

Gross Margin. License and transaction fees gross margin for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016 decreased from 33.2% to 31.4% compared to the six-month period ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in license and transaction gross margin is attributable to, among other things, reduced fees periodically extended to customers who offer strategic and/or large market opportunities and increased merchant fees associated with a change in card mix.

Table of Contents

Equipment gross margin increased from 20.0% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015 to 20.6% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016. The increase in gross margin on a year-to-date basis is primarily attributable to cost reductions of our products.

Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased $3.4 million or 35% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the prior period in fiscal year 2015. The $2.1 million increase of professional services is attributable to SOX 404 compliance, internal audit, and audit of our financial statements driven primarily by our status as a first time accelerated filer which required an audit of our annual SOX 404 assessment. The $0.5 million salaries and benefits increase is due to employee compensation, headcount and employee related medical benefits. The $0.3 million increase in premises, equipment and insurance costs is due to increasing rent expense for leased properties and employer business insurance. The $0.2 million increase in marketing related expenses is due to marketing and customer promotions. Total operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased slightly for the six-months ended December 31, 2016 to 31% compared to 28% for the six months ended December 31, 2015.

Total Other Income (Expense). 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. Using the Black-Scholes model, the Company adjusts the warrant liability for fair value through the income statement quarterly. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2016 the Company recorded $1.5 million for the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities (all attributable to the quarter ended September 30, 2016) compared to expense of $0.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015. As the warrants associated with the liability were exercised in September 2016, there will be no fair value liability recorded in subsequent periods.

Net Income (Loss). Net (loss) is a function of the items described above. Net loss for the six months ending December 31, 2016 was $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the comparable period a year ago. The Company lost ($0.07) per share during the six month period as compared to a loss of ($0.02) per share during the prior corresponding six month period.

Adjusted EBITDA. For the six months ended December 31, 2016, adjusted EBITDA decreased to $2.4 million from $4.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 or 39%. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses which was partially offset by an increase in gross profit.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss). Non-GAAP net income decreased to ($0.7) million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to non-GAAP net income for the six months December 31, 2015 of $0.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses which was partially offset by an increase in gross profit.

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring fees and charges that were incurred in connection with the integration of the VendScreen business, 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 costs and expenses incurred in connection with the VendScreen transaction in order to allow more accurate comparison 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. Additionally, the Company utilizes Adjusted EBTIDA as a metric in its executive officer and management incentive compensation plans.

Table of Contents

The increase in the weighted average number of common shares was due to exercises of warrants and to stock issued through the Company’s stock based compensation programs.

As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) represents GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) 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), non-recurring fees and charges that were incurred in connection with the integration of the VendScreen business, and professional fees incurred in connection with the class action litigation and the SLC Investigation. 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. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) is an important measure of USAT’s business. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP. The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net income or net loss of the Company or net cash used in operating activities. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with the Company’s net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for or a measure of the Company’s profitability or net earnings. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per share 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 this non-GAAP financial measure serves as a useful metric 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 (loss) as a metric in its executive officer and management incentive compensation plans.

of the reclassification of fair value of warrant liability, both attributable to warrants exercised during the September 30, 2016 quarter for 2.4 million shares of common stock;

$9.9 million increase in net working capital primarily attributable to a $1.9 million increase in accounts receivable, a $2.8 million increase in inventory, a $3.3 million decrease in accounts payable and elimination of any warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2016. The increase of $1.9 million in accounts receivable was largely the result of the quarter ending on a Saturday, a day on which we do not receive funds due to us from our processor. The increase in inventory was to provide stock for anticipated sales in subsequent quarters. The decrease in accounts payable was attributable primarily to the last business day of the month occurring on a Friday; which is the highest level of routine customer payments of all weekdays.

Operating cash flow for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 improved by $0.6 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The improvement is primarily due to:

$1.0 million less cash used by operating assets and liabilities:

Table of Contents

Offset by a $0.4 million decrease in net income as adjusted for non-cash operating items, as follows:

$0.2 million net income and $1.4 million of non-cash operating items for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, as compared to

$0.9 million of net loss offset by $2.9 million of non-cash operating items for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Net cash used by investing activities increased by $1.1 million from the prior corresponding quarter, reflecting $0.4 for equipment and furniture purchased in connection with the relocation of the Malvern office, $0.2 for internally developed software, and $0.7 million for ePort units purchased for use in the JumpStart rental program.

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 finance agreement. Under the QuickStart program, the Company sells the equipment to customers and creates a long-term and current finance receivable for five-year agreements. In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2015, the Company signed vendor agreements with two finance companies, whereby our customers would enter into agreements directly with the finance companies as part of our QuickStart program. Under this scenario, the Company invoices the finance company for the equipment financed by our customer, and typically receives full payment within thirty days. Prior to the reintroduction of QuickStart, the Company had 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. QuickStart through third-party finance companies reduces cash flow needed for investing activities and improves the cash flow from operations.

Since entering into vendor agreements with two third-party finance companies, the majority of QuickStart sales consummated have been with customers entering into agreements directly with the finance companies. Our customers have shifted from acquiring our products via JumpStart, which accounted for 65% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2014, to QuickStart and sales under normal trade receivable terms, which accounted for 89% and 91% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2015 and 2016, respectively. JumpStart was approximately 7% of gross connections in the three months ending December 31, 2016.

The Company is seeking to expand its outside financing partners. The goal of the program would be to have enough finance partners so that the Company would not need to provide financing to its customers.

Sources of Cash

The Company’s net working capital, which is defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $14.8 million, $14.0 million, $4.9 million, ($0.2) million, and $9.9 million over the last five quarter-end reporting dates beginning December 31, 2016 and working backwards. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s primary sources of cash include:

Cash on hand of approximately $18.0 million;

$4.9 million available under the line of credit provided we continue to satisfy the various covenants set forth in the loan agreement, including the requirement to meet minimum quarterly adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the loan agreement. Although the line expires on March 29, 2017, we anticipate renewing the line with Heritage Bank or obtaining a new line of credit from another financial institution;

Sales to third party lenders of all or a portion of our finance receivables; and

Anticipated cash which may be provided by operating activities in future quarters.

The Company believes its existing cash and available cash resources described above, would provide sufficient capital resources to operate its anticipated business over the next twelve months.

There have been no significant changes to our market risk since June 30, 2016. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of such period because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K"), as described below. Notwithstanding the material weakness identified in the 2016 Form 10-K, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

In our Form 2016 10-K, we stated that management had identified control deficiencies, including three significant deficiencies, in the design or operating effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, which when aggregated, represent a material weakness in internal control. The significant deficiencies included that the operation of an existing control did not result in timely resolution of account receivable aging issues; the design of certain of our internal controls allowed for errors or omissions in the accrual process; and one operational control did not identify certain merchant receivables as one of the critical accounts to be audited on a monthly basis. In order to address the significant deficiencies identified in our 2016 Form 10-K, the Company implemented changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, and remains committed to remediating the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness.
