PART I Item 1. Business. OVERVIEW USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, “USAT”, or “Our”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. We are a providerof 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 marketsegments, such as amusement, commercial laundry, kiosk and others. Since our founding, we have designed and marketed systems and solutions that facilitateelectronic payment options, as well as telemetry and machine-to-machine (“M2M”) services, which include the ability to remotely monitor, control, and report onthe results of distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions. Historically, these distributed assets have relied on cash for payment in the form ofcoins 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. We derive the majority of our revenues from license and transaction fees resulting from connections to, as well as services provided by, our ePort Connect service.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-partyinstalled POS terminals. The majority of ePort Connect customers pay a monthly fee plus a blended transaction rate on the transaction dollar volume processed bythe Company. Connections to the ePort Connect service, therefore, are the most significant driver of the Company’s revenues, particularly revenues from licenseand transaction fees. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately 333,000 connections to its ePort Connect service, compared to approximately 266,000 connections as ofJune 30, 2014, representing a 25% increase. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Company processed approximately 217 million cashless transactionstotaling approximately $389 million in transaction dollars, representing a 28% increase in transaction volume and a 32% increase in dollars processed from the 169million cashless transactions totaling approximately $294 million during the previous fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The above chart shows the increases over the last four fiscal years in the number of connections, revenues and the dollar value of transactions handled by us. Thevertical bars depict total revenues, segmented by license and transaction fees and equipment revenues. The solid line depicts the number of connections to ourePort Connect service, as of the end of each of the last four fiscal years, as indicated by the dot at the mid-point on the revenue bar for each year. Similarly, thedollar value of transactions handled by us during each of the last four fiscal years is indicated by the dotted line and the dot at the mid-point on the revenue bar foreach year. Our solutions and services have been designed to simplify the transition to cashless for traditionally cash-only based businesses. As such, they are turnkey andinclude our comprehensive ePort Connect service and POS electronic payment devices or certified payment software, which are able to process traditionalmagnetic stripe credit and debit cards, contactless credit and debit cards and mobile payments. Standard services through ePort Connect are maintained on ourproprietary operating systems and include merchant account setup on behalf of the customer, automatic processing and settlement, sales reporting and 24x7customer support. Other value-added services that customers can choose from include things such as cashless deployment planning, cashless performance reviewand loyalty products and services. Our solutions also provide flexibility to execute a variety of payment applications on a single system, transaction security,connectivity options, compliance with certification standards, and centralized, accurate, real-time sales and inventory data to manage distributed assets (wirelesstelemetry and M2M). 4 Our customers range from global food service organizations to small businesses that operate primarily in the self-serve, small ticket retail markets includingbeverage and food vending, amusement and arcade machines, smartphones via our ePort Mobile™ solution, commercial laundry, tolls, and various other self-servekiosk applications as well as equipment developers or manufacturers who incorporate our ePort Connect service into their product offerings. We believe that we have a history of being a market leader in cashless payments with a recognized brand name, a value-added proposition for our customers and areputation of innovation in our product and services. We believe that these attributes position us to capitalize on industry trends. THE INDUSTRY We operate primarily in the small ticket electronic payments industry and, more specifically, the unattended POS market. We also have the ability to acceptcashless payment “on the go” through mobile-based payment services, which are generally higher ticket transactions. Our solutions and services facilitateelectronic payments in industries that have traditionally relied on cash transactions. We believe the following industry trends are driving growth in demand forelectronic payment systems in general and more specifically within the markets we serve: ■Ongoing shift toward electronic payment transactions and away from cash and checks; ■Increasing demand for electronic transaction functionality from both consumers and merchant/operators; and ■Improving POS technology and NFC equipped mobile phone payment technology. Shift toward electronic payment transactions and away from cash and checks There has been an ongoing shift away from paper-based methods of payment, including cash and checks, towards electronic-based methods of payment. Accordingto The Nilson Report, December 2012, paper-based methods of payment continued to decline in 2010, representing 38.97% of transaction dollars measuredcompared to 50.45% in 2005. The four card-based systems—credit, debit, prepaid, and electronic benefits transfer—generated $4.22 trillion in the United States in2011, 50.6% of transaction dollars measured, compared to 42.3% in 2006. The Nilson Report projects that by 2016 spending at merchants in the U.S., from thefour card-based system will grow to $6.5 trillion, or 62.8% of total transaction dollars measured. Increase in Consumer and Merchant/Operator Demand for Electronic Payments Increase in Consumer Demand . The unattended, vending and kiosk POS market has historically been dominated by cash purchases. However, oftentimes, cashpurchases at unattended POS locations represent a cumbersome transaction for the consumer because they do not have the correct monetary value (paper or coin),or the consumer does not have the ability to convert their bills into coins. We believe electronic payment system providers such as USA Technologies that canmeet consumers’ demand within the unattended market will be able to offer retailers, card associations, card issuers and payment processors and business ownersan expanding value proposition at the POS. Increase in Merchant/Operator Demand . We believe that, increasingly, merchants and operators of unattended payment locations (e.g., vending machines,laundry, tabletop games, etc.) are utilizing electronic payment alternatives as a means to improve business results. The Company works with its customers to helpthem drive increased revenue of their distributed assets through this expanded market opportunity. In addition, electronic payment systems can provide merchantsand operators real-time sales and inventory data utilized for back-office reporting and forecasting, like USA Technologies’ solutions and services, helping them tomanage their business more efficiently. Increase in Demand for Networked Assets . M2M (machine-to-machine) technology includes capturing value from wireless modules and electronic devices toimprove business productivity and customer service. The term M2M describes any kind of 2-way communication system between geographically distributeddevices through a centrally managed software application without human intervention and as such, the Company’s integrated POS and ePort Connect remote datamanagement capabilities fall into this category of solution. In addition, networked assets can provide valuable information regarding consumers’ purchasingpatterns and payment preferences, allowing operators to more effectively tailor their offerings to consumers. According to a Verizon Wireless 2011 whitepaper,titled “When Machines Talk, Businesses Listen”, within ten years, the number of machines that can be connected should exceed sixty billion units. The Companybelieves that its expertise in integrating cashless payments, its scalable network data capacity, its proven ability to handle high transaction volume, and its highquality and reliable data management capabilities make it well suited for the growing opportunities in the M2M market. POS Technology and NFC Equipped Mobile Phone Payment Improvements Consumer Interest in Mobile Payment. NFC, or Near Field Communication, is a short range wireless connectivity technology that uses electromagnetic radiofields to enable communication between devices when there is a physical touch, or when they are within close proximity to one another. We believe that POScontactless terminals that are enabled to accept NFC payments and digital wallet applications, such as Google Wallet, Chase Wallet, Apple Pay, the recentlyintroduced Android Pay, and others, stand to benefit from these evolving trends in mobile payment. Digital wallet is essentially a digital service, accessed via theweb or a mobile phone application that serves as a substitute for the traditional credit or debit card. Providers can also market directly to targeted consumers withcoupons and loyalty programs. With over 70% of the Company’s connections contactless enabled to accept NFC payments (in addition to magnetic stripe cards) as of June 30, 2015, we believethat we are well-positioned to benefit from this emerging space. OUR TECHNOLOGY-BASED SOLUTION Our solutions have been designed to be turnkey and includes the ePort Connect service, POS electronic payment devices, certified payment software able toprocess traditional magnetic stripe credit and debit cards, contactless credit and debit cards, and NFC equipped mobile phones that allow consumers to makepayments with their cell phones. We believe that our ability to bundle our products and services, as well as the ability to tailor and customize them to individualcustomer needs, makes it easy and efficient for our customers to adopt and deploy our technology, and results in a service unmatched in the small-ticket,unattended retail market today. 5 The Product . The Company offers its customers several different devices or software to connect their distributed assets. These range from our QuickConnect™Web service, more fully described below under the section “OUR PRODUCTS”, and encrypted magnetic stripe card readers to our ePort ® hardware that can beattached to the door of a stand-alone terminal. The Network . Our network is designed to transmit payment information from our customers’ terminals for processing and sales and diagnostic data for storageand reporting to our customers. Also, the network, through server-based software applications, provides remote management information, and enables control ofthe networked device’s functionality. Through our network we have the ability to upload software and update devices remotely enabling us to manage the deviceseasily and efficiently (e.g., change protocol functionality, provide software upgrades, and change terminal display messages). The Connectivity Mediums. The client devices (described above) are interconnected for the transfer of our customers’ data through our ePort Connect network thatprovides multiple connectivity options such as phone line, ethernet, and wireless. Increased wireless connectivity options, coverage and reliability have allowed usto service a greater number of geographically dispersed customer locations. Additionally, we make it easy for our customers to deploy wireless solutions by actingas a single point of contact. We have contracted with Verizon Wireless and in the United States and Rogers Wireless in Canada in order to supply our customerswith wireless network coverage. Data Security. We are listed on the VISA Global Registry of Service Providers, meaning that VISA has reviewed and accepted our Report on Compliance (RoC)from an authorized Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) assessor as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider. Our entry on this is renewed annually, and our current entry is validthrough January 31, 2016. The VISA listing can be found online at http://www.visa.com/splisting/searchGrsp.do OUR SERVICES For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, license and transaction fees generated by our ePort Connect service represented 75% of the Company’s revenues. OurePort Connect solution provides customers with all of the following services, under one cohesive service umbrella: ●Diverse POS options. Ability to connect to a broad product line of cashless acceptance devices or software. ●Card Processing Services. Through our existing relationships with card processors and card associations, we provide merchant account and terminalID set up, pre-negotiated discounted fees on small ticket purchases, and direct electronic funds transfers (EFTs) to our customers’ bank accounts forall settled card transactions as well as ensure compliance with current processing regulations. ●Wireless Connectivity. We manage the wireless account activation, distribution, and the relationship with wireless providers for our customers, ifneeded. ●Customer/Consumer Services. We support our installed base by providing 24-hour help desk support, repairs, and replacement of impaired systemsolutions. In addition, all inbound billing inquiries are handled through a 24-hour help desk, thereby eliminating the need for our customers to dealwith consumer billing inquiries and potential chargebacks. ●Online Sales Reporting. Via the USALive online reporting system, we provide customers with a host of sales and operational data, includinginformation regarding their credit and cash transactions, user configuration, reporting by machine and region, by date range and transaction type, datareports for operations and finance, graphical reporting of sales, and condition monitoring for equipment service, as well as activation of new devicesand redeployments. ●M2M Telemetry and DEX data transfer. DEX, an acronym for digital exchange, is the Vending Industry’s standard way to communicate informationsuch as sales, cash in bill validators, coins in coin boxes, sales of units by selection, pricing, door openings, and much more. USA Technologies isable to remotely transfer and push DEX data to customers’ route management systems through its DEX partner program. USA Technologies operateswithin the VDI (Vending Data Interchange) standards established by NAMA (National Automatic Merchandising Association) and sends DEX filescompatible with most major remote management software systems. ●Over-the-Air Update Capabilities. Automatic over-the-air updates to software, settings, and security protocol from our network to our ePort cardreader keep our customers’ hardware up-to-date and enable customers to benefit from any advancement made after their hardware or softwarepurchase. ●Value-added Services. Access to additional services such as MORE , our loyalty program, two-tier pricing, special promotions such as ournationwide Apple Pay mobile payment and loyalty promotion for vending customers, as well as a menu of hardware purchasing options includingJumpStart, our terminal-included service option and hardware leasing options through third parties. ●Deployment Planning. Access to services to help operators successfully deploy cashless payment systems and integrated solutions that is based onour extensive market and customer experience data. We enter into a processing and licensing agreement, or ePort Connect Services Agreement, with our customers pursuant to which we act as a provider of cashlessfinancial services for the customer’s distributed assets, and the customer agrees to pay us an activation fee, monthly service fees, and transaction processing fees.Our agreements are generally cancelable by the customer upon thirty to sixty days’ notice to us from the time of shipment. It typically takes thirty to sixty days fora new connection to begin contributing to the Company’s license and transaction fee revenues. The Company counts its ePort connections upon shipment of an active terminal to a customer under contract, at which time activation on its network is performedby the Company, and the terminal is capable of conducting business via the Company’s network and related services. An ePort connection does not necessarilymean that the unit is actually installed by the customer on a machine, or that the unit has begun processing transactions, or that the Company has begun receivingmonthly service fees in connection with the unit. Rather, at the time of shipment of the ePort, the customer becomes obligated to pay the one-time activation fee (ifapplicable), and is obligated to pay monthly service fees and lease payments (if applicable) in accordance with the terms of the customer’s contract with theCompany. 6 OUR PRODUCTS ePort is the Company’s core device, which is currently being utilized in self-service, unattended markets such as vending, amusement and arcade, and various otherkiosk applications. Our ePort product facilitates cashless payments by capturing payment information and transmitting it to our network for authorization with thepayment system (e.g., credit card processors). Additional capabilities of our ePort consist of control/access management by authorized users, collection of auditinformation (e.g., date and time of sale and sales amount), diagnostic information of the host equipment, and transmission of this data back to our network for web-based reporting, or to a compatible remote management system. Our ePort products are available in several distinctive modular configurations, and as hardware,software or as an API Web service, offering our customers flexibility to install a POS solution that best fits their needs and customer demands. ● ePort Edge™ is a one-piece design and is intended for those customers who require a magnetic swipe-only cashless system with basic features at alower price point.● ePort G-8 is a two-piece design that supports traditional magnetic stripe credit/debit cards and contactless cards. The ePort G8 telemeter is alsoavailable as a stand-alone DEX telemetry solution.● ePort G-9 has been designed to offer all the features of the G-8 plus additional new features that support expanded acceptance options, consumerengagement offerings and advanced diagnostics.● QuickConnect is a Web service that allows a client application to securely interface with the Company’s ePort Connect service. QuickConnectessentially replaces ePort SDK (software development kit), which captured our ePort technology in software form for PC-based devices such askiosks. Other forms of our ePort technology include: ● eSuds, our solution developed for the commercial laundry industry that enables laundry operators to provide customers cashless transactions via theuse of their credit cards, debit cards and other payment mediums such as student IDs. Effective with the April 2013 mutually exclusive agreementwith Setomatic Systems, we are no longer selling the entire eSuds solution to new customers, but we continue to provide processing services forlaundry machines equipped with cashless hardware supplied by Setomatics Systems.● ePort Mobile is a mobile acceptance solution for credit and debit cards that is supported by USAT’s ePort Connect service. ePort Mobile is availableas a download from the iTunes and Google Play Store and is also available as an All-In-One solution that includes the phone and data plan. SPECIFIC MARKETS WE SERVE Our current customers are primarily in the self-serve, small ticket retail markets including beverage and food vending and kiosk, commercial laundry, car wash,tolls, amusement and gaming, and office coffee. While these industry sectors represent only a small fraction of our total market potential, as described below, theseare the areas where we have gained the most traction to date. In addition to being our current primary markets, we believe these sectors serve as a proof-of-conceptfor other unattended POS industry applications. Vending. According to Vending Times’ 2012 Census of the Industry, annual U.S. sales in the vending industry sector were estimated to be approximately $43billion in 2011 transacted by over 6 million machines. The Company believes these machines represent a significant market opportunity for electronic paymentconversion when compared to the Company’s existing ePort Connect service base and the overall low rate of industry adoption to date. For example, in anotherstudy conducted by Automatic Merchandiser (State of the Vending Industry, June 2013) that included a representative 5.4 million machines, cashless adoption wasprojected at only 7% in 2012, up from 4% in 2011. The increase was attributed to higher product price points, increased acceptance of debit and credit in retail forsmaller purchases, Gen X and Y/millennials joining the workforce to become vending consumers and the growing research about how cashless payment systemscan increase sales. With the continued shift to electronic payments and the advancement in mobile and POS technology, we believe that the traditional beverageand food vending industry will continue to look to cashless payments and telemetry systems to improve their business results. Kiosk . According to IHL Consulting Group’s August 2012 North American Self-Service Kiosks Market Study, which defines, for purposes of their study, a kioskas a self-standing, technology-based, unmanned device deployed across six retail and hospitality environments, approximately $926 billion was going to betransacted through self-service kiosks in 2013, with compound annual growth for the subsequent three years of seven percent (7%). We believe that kiosks arebecoming increasingly popular as credit, debit or contactless payment options enable kiosks to sell an increased variety of items. In addition, the study points to theincreasing trend toward self-sufficiency, where time is the most important commodity of the consumer. As merchants continue to seek new ways to reach theircustomers through kiosk applications, we believe the need for a reliable cashless payment provider experienced with machine integration, PCI compliance andcashless payment services designed specifically for the unattended market will be of increasing value in this market. Our existing kiosk customers integrate withour cashless payment services via our QuickConnect Web service using one of our encrypted readers or ePort POS technologies. Laundry . Our primary targets in laundry consist of the coin-operated commercial laundry and multi-housing laundry markets. According to the Coin LaundryAssociation, the U.S. commercial laundry industry was comprised of 30,000-35,000 laundromats in 2015 that our partner, Setomatic Systems, estimated translatesto roughly 2.5 million commercial washers and dryers. The Coin Laundry Association estimated gross revenue in the laundromat market at nearly $5 billionannually. Mobile Merchant. New mobile-based payment acceptance technology has made a transformational impact on an entire base of merchants that previously hadalmost no access to electronic-based payments. Goldman Sachs (Equity Research Report, June 19, 2012) sees the arrival of mobile technology at the micro/smallmerchant level addressing an estimated 13 million U.S.-based micro merchants that are likely to benefit from the ability to accept electronic payment from mobiledevices. The Company believes that its mobile-based acceptance product and existing turnkey service platform align well with the market’s need for integrated,mobile payment solutions. 7 OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS We believe that we benefit from a number of advantages gained through our over twenty-year history in our industry. They include: 1.One-Stop Shop, End-to-End Solution. We believe that our ability to offer our customers one point of contact through a bundled cashless payment solutionmakes it easy and efficient for our customers to adopt and deploy our electronic payment solutions and results in a service that is unmatched in the smallticket, self-service retail market today. To our knowledge, other cashless payment solutions available in the market today require the operator to set up theirown accounts for cashless processing and manage multiple service providers (i.e., hardware terminal manufacturer, wireless network provider, and/or creditcard processor). We interface directly with our card processor and wireless service provider, and with our hardware solutions are able to offer a bundledsolution to our customers. 2.Trusted Brand Name. We believe that the ePort and Energy Miser brands have a strong national reputation for quality, reliability, and innovation. We believethat card associations, payment processors, and merchants/operators trust our system solutions and services to handle financial transactions in a secureoperating environment. Our trusted brand name is best exemplified by our high level of customer retention, numerous exclusive three-year agreements withcustomers for use of our ePort Connect service. We have agreements with partners like Visa and Verizon Wireless as well as several one-way exclusiverelationships which we have solidified with leading organizations within the unattended POS industry, including Setomatic Systems, AMI EntertainmentNetwork, Inc., Innovative Foto, and Air-Serv. 3.Market Leadership. We believe we have the largest installed base of unattended POS electronic payment systems in the unattended small-ticket retail marketfor food and beverage vending and we are continuing to expand to other adjacent markets such as laundry, amusement and gaming and kiosks. As of June 30,2015, we had approximately 333,000 connections to our network. Our installed base supports our sales and marketing initiatives by enhancing our ability toestablish or expand our market position. Finally, we believe our installed base provides multiple opportunities for referrals for new business, either from themerchant or operator of the deployed asset or through one of our several strategic relationships. 4.Attractive Value Proposition for Our Customers . We believe that our solutions provide our customers an attractive value proposition. Our solutions andservices make possible increased purchases by consumers who in the past were limited to the physical cash on hand while making a purchase at an unattendedterminal, thereby increasing the universe of potential customers and the buying activity of those customers. In addition, value-added offerings and servicessuch as Two-Tier Pricing, which allows the operator to charge different amounts for the same product depending upon how the consumer chooses to pay, andM2M telemetry provide operators with the ability to pursue additional opportunities to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies. Lastly, new consumerengagement services further extend the potential for customers to build new revenue opportunities, customer loyalty and brand distinction. 5.Increasing Scale and Financial Stability. Due to the continued growth in connections to the Company’s ePort Connect service, during the 2015 fiscal year,75% of the Company’s revenues were from licensing and processing fees which are recurring in nature. We believe that this growing scale provides usimproved financial stability and the footprint to market and distribute our products and services more effectively and in more markets than most of ourcompetitors. 6.Customer-Focused Research and Development. Our research and development initiatives focus primarily on adding features and functionality to our electronicpayment solutions based on customer input and emerging market trends. Since we began operations in 1992 and through June 30, 2015, we have been granted89 patents (US and International) and currently have 12 patent applications pending. We have generated considerable intellectual property and know-howassociated with creating a seamless, end-to-end experience for our customers. OUR GROWTH OPPORTUNITY Our primary objective is to continue to enhance our position as a leading provider of technology that enables electronic payment transactions and value-addedservices primarily at small-ticket, self-service retail locations such as vending, kiosks, commercial laundry, and other similar markets. The Company believes itsservice-approach business model can create a high-margin stream of recurring revenues that could create a foundation for long-term value and continued growth.Key elements of our strategy are to: Drive Growth in Connections Leverage Existing Customers/Partners. We have a solid base of key customers across multiple markets, particularly in vending, that have currently deployed oursolutions and services to just a small portion of their deployed base. As a result, they are a key component of our plan to drive future sales. We have worked tobuild these relationships, drive future deployments, and develop customized network interfaces. Our customers have seen the benefits of our products and servicesfirst-hand and we believe they represent the largest opportunity to scale connections to our service. Expand Distribution and Sales Reach. We are intently focused on driving profitable growth through efficient sales channels. Added sales resources and newdistribution relationships have led to approximately 2,300 new ePort Connect customers as well as increased penetration in markets such as amusement and arcade,and commercial laundry in fiscal year 2015. Further Penetrate Attractive Adjacent Markets. We plan to continue to introduce our turnkey solutions and services to various adjacent markets such as the broad-based kiosk market and other similar markets by leveraging our expertise in cashless payment integration combined with the capacity and uniqueness of our ePortConnect solution. Capitalize on Opportunities in International Markets . We are currently focused on the U.S. and Canadian markets for our ePort devices and related ePort Connectservice but may seek to establish a presence in electronic payment markets in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. In order to do so, however, we would have toinvest in additional sales and marketing and research and development resources targeted towards these regions. At this time, the Company believes the mostefficient route to these markets will be achieved by optimizing and coordinating opportunities with its global partners and customers. Our energy managementdevices have been shipped to customers located in North America, Europe, and Asia. Expanding the Value of our Service Capitalize on the emerging NFC and growing mobile payments trends. With over 70% of our connected base contactless enabled to accept NFC payments(including mobile wallets), the Company believes that continued increases in consumer preferences towards contactless payments, including mobile wallets likeApple Pay and Android Pay, represent a significant opportunity for the Company to further drive adoption. According to a market research study conducted in June2015, almost one in six US consumers (15%) had used a mobile wallet in the past six months, up from 9% in the same period in 2013, and an additional 22% arelikely to adopt mobile wallet functionality in the coming six months (The Future of the Mobile Wallet - Chadwick Martin Bailey ). As consumers continue to adoptthese new methods of cashless payments, it is our belief that adoption will continue to accelerate at a rapid pace and result in more rapid adoption of cashlesssolutions like USA Technologies’ ePort in the markets that we serve. 8 Continuous Innovation. We are continuously enhancing our solutions and services in order to satisfy our customers and the end-consumers relying on our productsat the POS locations. Our product innovation team is always working to enhance the design, size, and speed of data transmission, as well as security andcompatibility with other electronic payment solution providers’ technologies. We believe our continued innovation will lead to further adoption of USAT’ssolutions and services in the unattended POS payments market. Comprehensive Service and Support. In addition to its industry-leading ePort cashless payments system, USA Technologies seeks to provide its customers with acomprehensive, value-added ePort Connect service that is designed to encourage optimal ROI through business planning and performance optimization; businessmetrics through the company’s KnowledgeBase of data; a loyalty and rewards program for consumer engagement; marketing strategy and executional support;sales data and machine alerts; DEX data transmission; and the ability to extend cashless payments capabilities and the full suite of services across multiple aspectsof an operators’ business including micro-markets, online payments, mobile payments and dining/retail POS. Leverage Intellectual Property . Through June 30, 2015, we have been granted 89 patents which contain various claims, including claims relating to paymentprocessing, networking and energy management devices. In addition, we own numerous trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. We will continue to exploreways to leverage this intellectual property in order to add value for our customers, attain an increased share of the market, and possibly generate licensing revenues. SALES AND MARKETING The Company’s sales strategy includes both direct sales and channel development, depending on the particular dynamics of each of our markets.

Compass/Foodbuy As per its website, Compass is a $13 billion organization with locations worldwide, is the leader in vending, food service management and support services, is thelargest national vending operating company, has over 500,000 associates, and is one of the leading owners and operators of vending machines in the United States.Compass is a division of UK-based Compass Group PLC. On June 30, 2009, we entered into a Master Purchase Agreement (“MPA”) with Foodbuy, LLC (“Foodbuy”), the procurement company for Compass Group USA,Inc. (“Compass”) and other customers. The MPA provides, among other things, that for a period of thirty-six months, Foodbuy on behalf of Compass shall utilizeUSAT as the sole credit or debit card vending system hardware and related software and connect services provider for not less than seventy-five percent of thevending machines of Compass utilizing cashless payments solutions. The MPA also provides that for a period of thirty-six months from the effective date of theagreement, USAT shall be a preferred supplier and provider to Foodbuy and its customers, including Compass, of USAT’s products and services. The MPAautomatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party upon sixty days’ notice prior to the end of any such one year renewalperiod. In addition, on July 1, 2009, USAT and Compass, in conjunction with the MPA described above, also entered into a three year ePort Connect ServicesAgreement pursuant to which USAT will provide Compass with all card processing, data, network, communications and financial services, and DEX telemetrydata services required in connection with all Compass vending machines utilizing ePorts. The agreement automatically renews for successive one year periodsunless terminated by either party upon sixty days’ notice prior to the end of any such one year renewal period. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015,Compass, represented approximately 20% of our total revenues. AMI Entertainment On August 22, 2011, we entered into an exclusive three-year agreement with AMI Entertainment (“AMI”) as their exclusive processor of credit and debit cards andother electronic payments in connection with equipment operated on AMI’s network in the U.S. and Canada. The agreement is subject to renewal for one yearperiods thereafter, subject to notice of non-renewal by either party; the agreement renewed for one year in August 2015. AMI manufactures various types ofamusement, entertainment and music equipment for sale to third party users. Setomatic Systems In April 2013, we entered into an three-year exclusive agreement with Setomatic Systems (“Setomatic”), a privately owned and operated developer andmanufacturer of both open and closed loop card payment systems, drop coin meters and electronic timers for the commercial laundry industry. Under the terms ofthe agreement, the Company, through our ePort Connect® service, will act as the exclusive service provider for all credit/debit card processing for all newcustomers of Setomatic’s SpyderWash, a credit/debit card acceptance product. Similarly, the Company will market its ePort Connect service in the United Stateslaundry market exclusively through Setomatic. QUICK START PROGRAM In order to reduce customers’ upfront capital costs associated with the ePort hardware, the Company makes available to its customers the Quick Start program,pursuant to which the customer would enter into a five-year non-cancelable lease with either the Company or a third-party leasing company for the devices. At theend of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device for a nominal fee. From its introduction in September 2014 and through approximately mid-March 2015, the Company entered into these leases directly with its customers. In thethird and fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, however, the Company signed vendor agreements with two leasing companies, whereby our customers could enter intoleases directly with the leasing companies. There has been a shift by our customers from acquiring our product via JumpStart, which accounted for 65% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2014, toQuickStart or a straight purchase, which was approximately 89% of gross connections for fiscal 2015. The shift to a straight purchase, along with our ability toincrease cash collections under QuickStart sales by utilizing leasing companies, has improved cash provided by operating activities. Due to the success of the QuickStart program as measured by customer utilization of the program and the positive impact on the Company’s cash flows fromoperating activities when a leasing company is utilized, the Company intends to expand this program by entering into additional vendor agreements with leasingcompanies and/or expanding its relationship with the two incumbent leasing companies. JUMP START PROGRAM Pursuant to the JumpStart Program, customers acquire the ePort cashless device at no upfront cost by paying a higher monthly service fee, avoiding the need tomake a major upfront capital investment. The Company would continue to own the ePort device utilized by its customer. At the time of the shipment of the ePortdevice, the customer is obligated to pay to the Company a one-time activation fee, and is later obligated to pay monthly ePort Connect service fees in accordancewith the terms of the customer’s contract with the Company, in addition to transaction processing fees generated from the device. In fiscal 2015, the Companyadded approximately 11% of its gross connections through JumpStart. 10 MANUFACTURING The Company utilizes independent third party companies for the manufacturing of its products. Our internal manufacturing process mainly consists of qualityassurance of materials and testing of finished goods received from our contract manufacturers. We have not entered into a long-term contract with our contractmanufacturers, nor have we agreed to commit to purchase certain quantities of materials or finished goods from our manufacturers beyond those submitted underroutine purchase orders, typically covering short-term forecasts. COMPETITION We are a leading provider of cashless payments systems for the small-ticket, unattended market and believe we have the largest installed base of unattended POSelectronic payment systems in the beverage and food vending industry. Factors that we consider to be our competitive advantages are described above under “OURCOMPETITIVE STRENGTHS.” Our competitors are increasingly and actively marketing products and services that compete with our products and services inthe vending space including manufacturers who may include in their new vending machines their own (or another third party’s) cashless payment systems andservices. These major competitors include Crane Payment Innovations and Cantaloupe Systems, Inc.. While we believe our products and services are superior toour competitors’, many of our competitors are much larger enterprises and have substantially greater revenues. In addition to these competitors, there are alsonumerous credit card processors that offer card processing services to traditional retail establishments that could decide to offer similar services to the industriesthat we serve. In the cashless laundry market, our joint solution with Setomatic Systems competes with hardware manufacturers, who provide joint solutions to their customers inpartnership with payment processors, and with at least one competitor who provides an integrated hardware and payment processing solution. CUSTOMER CONCENTRATIONS Customer concentrations for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Trade accounts and finance receivables- one customer 35% 22% 41%License and transaction processing revenues- two customers: First customer 21% 26% 26%Second customer (1) (1) 11%Equipment sales revenue- one customer 17% (1) (1)(1) Less than 10% TRADEMARKS, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, AND PATENTS The Company owns US federal registrations for the following trademarks and service marks: Blue Light Sequence®, Business Express®, CM2iQ®, CreatingValue Through Innovation®, EnergyMiser®, ePort®, ePort Connect®, ePort Edge®, ePort GO®, ePort Mobile®, eSuds®, Intelligent Vending®, Public PC®,SnackMiser®, TransAct®, USA Technologies® USALive®, VendingMiser®, and VM2iQ®.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, wereapproximately $1,457,000, $1,018,000, and $901,000 for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. EMPLOYEES On August 31, 2015, the Company had 64 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees. 11 Item 1A. Risk Factors. Risks Relating to Our Business We have a history of losses since inception and if we continue to incur losses, the price of our shares can be expected to fall. We experienced losses from inception through June 30, 2012, with net income for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014. However, we experiencedlosses for the 2015 fiscal year, and continued profitability is not assured. From our inception through June 30, 2015, our cumulative losses from operations areapproximately $172 million. Until the Company’s products and services can generate sufficient annual revenues, the Company will be required to use its cash andcash equivalents on hand, its line of credit, and may raise capital to meet its cash flow requirements including the issuance of Common Stock or debt financing. Forthe year ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred a net loss of $1,089,482 and earned a net income of $27,530,652 which includes a benefit for income taxes of$27,255,398, respectively. If we incur losses in the future, the price of our common stock can be expected to fall. The occurrence of unusual or unanticipated non-operational expenses may require us to divert our cash resources from achieving our business plan,adversely affecting our financial performance and resulting in the decline of our stock price. Our fiscal year 2016 business plan assumes that no material unusual or unanticipated non-operational expenses would be incurred by us. In the event we wouldincur any such expenses, we would anticipate diverting our cash resources from our JumpStart program in order to fund any such expenses. Any such occurrencemay cause our anticipated connections, revenues, gross profits, adjusted EBITDA, and other financial metrics for the 2016 fiscal year and beyond to be materiallyadversely affected. In such event, the price of our common stock could be expected to fall. The inability of our customers to utilize third party leasing companies under our QuickStart program would materially adversely affect our cashgenerated from operating activities and/or attaining our business plan. The use of third party leasing companies by our customers under our QuickStart program positively affects our net cash provided by operating activities becausewe receive the purchase price from the leasing company at the time of the sale. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such third party leasingcompanies. To the extent that third party leasing companies would not be available, we would lease the equipment directly to our customers. In such event, our netcash from operating activities would be adversely affected and we may be required to incur additional equity or debt financing to fund operations. In thealternative, we would not be able to attain our business plan, including anticipated connections and revenues. We may require additional financing or find it necessary to raise capital to sustain our operations and without it we may not be able to achieve ourbusiness plan. At June 30, 2015, we had net working capital of $6,293,137. We had net cash provided by operating activities of $(1,697,742), $7,085,400, and $6,038,952 for thefiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Although we believe that we have adequate existing resources (used in) to provide for our fundingrequirements through at least July 1, 2016, there can be no assurances that we will be able to continue to generate sufficient funds thereafter. Unless we maintain orgrow our current level of operations, we may need additional funds to continue these operations. We may also need additional capital to update our technology orrespond to unusual or unanticipated non-operational events. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitivelyexpensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. Our future operating results may fluctuate. Our future operating results will depend significantly on our ability to continue to drive revenues from license and transaction fees and our ability to develop andcommercialize new products and services. Our operating results may fluctuate based upon many factors, including: ●fluctuations in revenue generated by our business; ●fluctuations in operating expenses; ●our ability to establish or maintain effective relationships with significant partners and suppliers on acceptable terms; ●the amount of debit or credit card interchange rates that are charged by Visa and MasterCard; ●the fees that we charge our customers for processing services; ●the successful operation of our network; ●the commercial success of our customers, which could be affected by such factors as general economic conditions; ●the level of product and price competition; ●the timing and cost of, and our ability to develop and successfully commercialize, new or enhanced products and services; ●activities of, and acquisitions or announcements by, competitors; ●the impact from any impairment of inventory, goodwill, fixed assets or intangibles; ●the ability to increase the number of customer connections to our network; ●marketing programs which delay realization by us of monthly service fees on our new connections; ●the material breach of security of any of the Company’s systems or third party systems utilized by the Company; and ●the anticipation of and response to technological changes. Our products may fail to gain substantial increased market acceptance. As a result, we may not generate sufficient revenues or profit margins to achieveour financial objectives or growth plans. There can be no assurances that demand for our products will be sufficient to enable us to generate sufficient revenue or become profitable on a sustainable basis.Likewise, no assurance can be given that we will be able to have a sufficient number of ePorts ® connected to our network or sell or lease equipment utilizing ournetwork to enough locations to achieve significant revenues. Alternatively, the locations which utilize the network may not be successful locations and ourrevenues would be adversely affected. We may lose locations utilizing our products to competitors, or may not be able to install our products at competitors’locations, or may not obtain future locations which would be obtained by our competitors. In addition, there can be no assurance that our products could evolve orbe improved to meet the future needs of the marketplace. In any such event we may not be able to achieve our growth plans, including anticipated connections andrevenue growth. 12 We may be required to incur further debt to meet future capital requirements of our business. Should we be required to incur additional debt, therestrictions imposed by the terms of such debt could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to respond to changes in our business. If we incur additional debt, we may be subject to the following risks: ●our vulnerability to adverse economic conditions and competitive pressures may be heightened; ●our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry may be limited; ●our debt covenants may affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry; ●a high level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged and therefore, may be able totake advantage of opportunities that our indebtedness would prevent us from pursuing; ●the covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose ofassets and make certain investments; ●a significant portion of our cash flows could be used to service our indebtedness; ●we may be sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates if any of our debt obligations are subject to variable interest rates; and ●our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or otherpurposes may be impaired. We cannot assure you that our leverage and such restrictions will not materially and adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs orto engage in other business activities. In addition, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available when required or, if available, will be on termssatisfactory to us. The loss of one or more of our key customers could significantly reduce our revenues, results of operations, and net income. We have derived, and believe we may continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from one large customer or a limited number of large customers.Customer concentrations for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Trade accounts and finance receivables- one customer 35% 22% 41%License and transaction processing revenues- two customers: First customer 21% 26% 26%Second customer (1) (1) 11%Equipment sales revenue- one customer 17% (1) (1)(1) Less than 10% Our customers may buy less of our products or services depending on their own technological developments, end-user demand for our products and internal budgetcycles. A major customer in one year may not purchase any of our products or services in another year, which may negatively affect our financial performance. Ifwe are required to sell products to any of our large customers at reduced prices or unfavorable terms, our results of operations and revenue could be materiallyadversely affected. Further, there is no assurance that our customers will continue to utilize our transaction processing and related services as our customeragreements are generally cancelable by the customer on thirty to sixty days’ notice. We depend on our key personnel and if they would leave us, our business could be adversely affected . We are dependent on key management personnel, particularly the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen P. Herbert and our Chief Services Officer, DavidDeMedio. The loss of services of Mr. Herbert or Mr. DeMedio or other officers could dramatically affect our business prospects. Our executive officers and certainof our officers and employees are particularly valuable to us because: ●they have specialized knowledge about our company and operations; ●they have specialized skills that are important to our operations; or ●they would be particularly difficult to replace. We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Herbert that expires on January 1, 2016 and with Mr. DeMedio which expires on June 30, 2016, each ofwhich contains confidentiality and non-compete agreements. We also may be unable to retain other existing senior management, sales personnel, and development and engineering personnel critical to our ability to executeour business plan, which could result in harm to key customer relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment andtraining costs. Our dependence on proprietary technology and limited ability to protect our intellectual property may adversely affect our ability to compete. Challenge to our ownership of our intellectual property could materially damage our business prospects. Our technology may infringe upon the proprietary rightsof others. Our ability to execute our business plan is dependent, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for our proprietary products, maintain trade secretprotection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Through June 30, 2015, we had 12 pending United States and foreign patent applications, and will consider filing applications for additional patents coveringaspects of our future developments, although there can be no assurance that we will do so. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will maintain or prosecutethese applications. The United States Government and other countries have granted us 89 patents as of June 30, 2015. There can be no assurance that: ●any of the remaining patent applications will be granted to us; 13 ●we will develop additional products that are patentable or do not infringe the patents of others; ●any patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for our products; ●any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others; or ●any of our products would not infringe the patents of others. If any of our products or services is found to have infringed any patent, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses to continue to manufacture,use, sell, and license such product or service or that we will not have to pay damages and/or be enjoined as a result of such infringement. Even if a patentapplication is granted for any of our products, there can be no assurance that the patented technology will be a commercial success or result in any profits to us. If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary technology or fail to enforce or prosecute our patents against others, third parties may be able to competemore effectively against us, which could result in the loss of customers and our business being adversely affected. Patent and proprietary rights litigation entailssubstantial legal and other costs, and diverts Company resources as well as the attention of our management. There can be no assurance we will have the necessaryfinancial resources to appropriately defend or prosecute our intellectual property rights in connection with any such litigation. Competition from others could prevent the Company from increasing revenue and achieving its growth plans. While we are a leading provider and believe we have the largest installed base of unattended POS electronic payment systems in the small ticket, beverage andfood vending industry, our competitors are increasingly and actively marketing products and services that compete with our products and services in this vendingspace. The competition includes manufacturers who may include in their new vending machines their own (or another third party’s) cashless payment systems andservices other than our systems and services. While we believe our products and services are superior to our competitors, many of our competitors are much largerenterprises and have substantially greater revenues. In addition to these competitors, there are also numerous credit card processors that offer card processingservices to traditional retail establishments that could decide to offer similar services to the industries that we serve. Competition from other companies, includingthose that are well established and have substantially greater resources, may reduce our profitability or reduce our business opportunities. Competition may resultin lower profit margins on our products or may reduce potential profits or result in a loss of some or all of our customer base. To the extent that our competitors areable to offer more attractive technology, our ability to compete could be adversely affected. The termination of any of our relationships with third parties upon whom we rely for supplies and services that are critical to our products couldadversely affect our business and delay achievement of our business plan. We depend on arrangements with third parties for a variety of component parts used in our products. We have contracted with various suppliers to assist us todevelop and manufacture our ePort® products. For other components, we do not have supply contracts with any of our third-party suppliers and we purchasecomponents as needed from time to time. We have contracted with a third-party data system recovery vendor to host our network in a secure, 24/7 environment toensure the reliability of our network services. We also have contracted with multiple land-based telecommunications providers to ensure the reliability of our land-based network. If these business relationships are terminated, the implementation of our business plan may be delayed until an alternative supplier or serviceprovider can be retained. If we are unable to find another source or one that is comparable, the content and quality of our products could suffer and our business,operating results and financial condition could be harmed. A disruption in the manufacturing capabilities of our third-party manufacturers, suppliers or distributors would negatively impact our ability to meetcustomer requirements. We depend upon third-party manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to deliver components free from defects, competitive in functionality and cost, and incompliance with our specifications and delivery schedules. Since we generally do not maintain large inventories of our products or components, any terminationof, or significant disruption in, our manufacturing capability or our relationship with our third-party manufacturers or suppliers may prevent us from fillingcustomer orders in a timely manner. We have occasionally experienced, and may in the future experience, delays in delivery of products and delivery of products of inferior quality from third-partymanufacturers. Although alternate manufacturers and suppliers are generally available to produce our products and product components, the number ofmanufacturers or suppliers of some of our products and components is limited, and a qualified replacement manufacturer or supplier could take several months. Inaddition, our use of third-party manufacturers reduces our direct control over product quality, manufacturing timing, yields and costs. Disruption of themanufacture or supply of our products and components, or a third-party manufacturer’s or supplier’s failure to remain competitive in functionality, quality or price,could delay or interrupt our ability to manufacture or deliver our products to customers on a timely basis, which would have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness and financial performance. Substantially all of the network service contracts with our customers are terminable for any or no reason upon thirty to sixty days’ advance notice. Substantially all of our customers may terminate their network service contracts with us for any or no reason upon providing us with thirty or sixty days’ advancenotice. Accordingly, consistent demand for and satisfaction with our products by our customers is critical to our financial condition and future success. Problems,defects, or dissatisfaction with our products or services or competition in the marketplace could cause us to lose a substantial number of our customers withminimal notice. If a substantial number of our customers were to exercise their termination rights, it would result in a material adverse effect to our business,operating results, and financial condition. Our reliance on our wireless telecommunication service provider exposes us to a number of risks over which we have no control, including risks withrespect to increased prices and termination of essential services. The operation of our wireless networked devices depends upon the capacity, reliability and security of services provided to us by our wireless telecommunicationservices providers, AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless. We have no control over the operation, quality or maintenance of these services or whether the vendorwill improve its services or continue to provide services that are essential to our business. In addition, subject to our existing contracts with them, our wirelesstelecommunication services providers may increase their prices, which would increase our costs. If our wireless telecommunication services providers were tocease to provide essential services or to significantly increase prices, we could be required to find alternative vendors for these services. With a limited number ofvendors, we could experience significant delays in obtaining new or replacement services, which could lead to slowdowns or failures of our network. In addition,we may have to replace our existing ePort ® devices that are already installed in the marketplace and which are utilizing the existing vendor’s services. This couldsignificantly harm our reputation and could cause us to lose customers and revenues. 14 We may accumulate excess or obsolete inventory that could result in unanticipated price reductions and write downs and adversely affect our financialresults. Managing the proper inventory levels for components and finished products is challenging. In formulating our product offerings, we have focused our efforts onproviding products with greater capability and functionality, which requires us to develop and incorporate the most current technologies in our products. Thisapproach tends to increase the risk of obsolescence for products and components we hold in inventory and may compound the difficulties posed by other factorsthat affect our inventory levels, including the following: ●the need to maintain significant inventory of components that are in limited supply; ●buying components in bulk for the best pricing; ●responding to the unpredictable demand for products; ●responding to customer requests for short lead-time delivery schedules; and ●failure of customers to take delivery of ordered products. If we accumulate excess or obsolete inventory, price reductions and inventory write-downs may result, which could adversely affect our results of operation andfinancial condition. We may not be able to adapt to changing technology and our customers’ technology needs. We face rapidly changing technology and frequent new service offerings that can render existing services obsolete or unmarketable. Our future depends, in part, onour ability to enhance existing services and to develop, introduce and market, on a timely and cost effective basis, new services that keep pace with technologicaldevelopments and customer requirements. Developing new products and technologies is a complex, uncertain process requiring innovation and accurateanticipation of technological and market trends. When changes to the product line are announced, we will be challenged to manage possible shortened life cyclesfor existing products and continue to sell existing products. Our inability to respond effectively to any of these challenges may have a material adverse effect onour business and financial success. Security is vital to our customers and therefore breaches in the security of transactions involving our products or services could adversely affect ourreputation and results of operations. Protection against fraud is of key importance to purchasers and end-users of our products. We incorporate security features, such as encryption software and securehardware, into our products to protect against fraud in electronic payment transactions and to ensure the privacy and integrity of consumer data. We design and testour products to industry security standards and our products and methodologies are under periodic review and improvement. We also maintain the highest levelPCI validation standard as mandated by the card industry and engage third party auditors not only to ensure that we meet the highest industry standards, but also toadvise us on improving our security methods. Nevertheless, our products and services and third party products and services that are utilized by us may bevulnerable to breaches in security due to defects in our security mechanisms, the operating system and applications in our hardware platform. Securityvulnerabilities could jeopardize the security of information transmitted or stored using our products. The security of the information in our products iscompromised, our reputation and marketplace acceptance of our products will be adversely affected, which would adversely affect our results of operations, andsubject us to potential liability. If our security applications are breached and sensitive data is lost or stolen, we could incur significant costs to not only assess andrepair any damage to our systems, but also to reimburse customers for losses that occur from the fraudulent use of the data. We may also be subject to fines andpenalties from the credit card associations in the event of the loss of confidential card information. Our products and services may be vulnerable to security breach. Credit card issuers have promulgated credit card security guidelines as part of their ongoing efforts to battle identity theft and credit card fraud. We continue towork with credit card issuers to assure that our products and services comply with these rules. There can be no assurances, however, that our products and servicesor third party products and services utilized by us are invulnerable to unauthorized access or hacking. When there is unauthorized access to credit card data thatresults in financial loss, there is the potential that parties could seek damages from us, and our business reputation may be materially adversely affected. If we fail to adhere to the standards of the Visa and MasterCard credit card associations, our registrations with these associations could be terminatedand we could be required to stop providing payment processing services for Visa and MasterCard. Substantially all of the transactions handled by our network involve Visa or MasterCard. If we fail to comply with the applicable requirements of the Visa andMasterCard credit card associations, Visa or MasterCard could suspend or terminate our registration with them. The termination of our registration with them orany changes in the Visa or MasterCard rules that would impair our registration with them could require us to stop providing payment processing services throughour network. In such event, our business plan and/or competitive advantages in the market place could be materially adversely affected. We rely on other card payment processors; if they fail or no longer agree to provide their services, our customer relationships could be adversely affectedand we could lose business. We rely on agreements with other large payment processing organizations, primarily Chase Paymentech, to enable us to provide card authorization, data capture,settlement and merchant accounting services and access to various reporting tools for the customers we serve. The termination by our card processing providers oftheir arrangements with us or their failure to perform their services efficiently and effectively may adversely affect our relationships with the customers whoseaccounts we serve and may cause those customers to terminate their processing agreements with us. We are subject to laws and regulations that affect the products, services and markets in which we operate. Failure by us to comply with these laws orregulations would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We are, among other things, subject to banking regulations and credit card association regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in thesuspension of our business, the limitation, suspension or termination of service, and/or the imposition of fines that could have an adverse effect on our financialcondition. Additionally, changes to legal rules and regulations, or interpretation or enforcement thereof, could have a negative financial effect on us or our productofferings. To the extent this occurs, we could be subject to additional technical, contractual or other requirements as a condition of our continuing to conduct ourpayment processing business. These requirements could cause us to incur additional costs, which could be significant, or to lose revenues to the extent we do notcomply with these requirements. 15 New legislation could be enacted regulating the basis upon which interchange rates are charged for debit or credit card transactions, which could increase the debitor credit card interchange fees charged by bankcard networks. An example of such legislation is the so-called “Durbin Amendment,” to the Dodd Frank Wall StreetReform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Durbin Amendment regulates the basis upon which interchange rates for debit card transactions are made toensure that interchange rates are “reasonable and proportionate to costs.” Pursuant to regulations that were promulgated by the Federal Reserve, Visa andMasterCard have significantly increased their interchange fees for small ticket debit card transactions. As of November 14, 2014, we entered into a three-year agreement with Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa”), pursuant to which Visa has agreed to continue to make availableto the Company certain promotional interchange reimbursement fees for small ticket debit and credit card transactions. Similarly, MasterCard InternationalIncorporated ("MasterCard") has agreed to make available to us reduced interchange rates for small ticket debit card transactions pursuant to a three-yearMasterCard Acceptance Agreement dated January 12, 2015, as amended by a First Amendment thereto dated April 27, 2015. If the foregoing agreements with Visaand MasterCard are not extended, our financial results would be materially adversely affected unless we are able to pass these significant additional charges to ourcustomers. Increases in card association and debit network interchange fees could increase our operating costs or otherwise adversely affect our operations. If we donot pass along to our customers any future increases in credit or debit card interchange fees, assessments and transaction fees, our gross profits would bereduced. We are obligated to pay interchange fees and other network fees set by the bankcard networks to the card issuing bank and the bankcard networks for eachtransaction we process through our network. From time to time, card associations and debit networks increase the organization and/or processing fees, known asinterchange fees that they charge. Under our processing agreements with our customers, we are permitted to pass along these fee increases to our customersthrough corresponding increases in our processing fees. Passing along such increases could result in some of our customers canceling their contracts with us.Consequently, it is possible that competitive pressures will result in our Company absorbing some or all of the increases in the future, which would increase ouroperating costs, reduce our gross profit and adversely affect our business. During the term of the Visa Agreement, the Company does not anticipate accepting any debit cards with interchange fees that are higher than the rates providedunder the Visa Agreement. The Company will continue to accept Visa- and MasterCard- branded debit cards in addition to all major credit cards, including Visa,MasterCard, Discover and American Express at its current processing rates. If the Visa or MasterCard Agreements are not extended, our financial results would bematerially adversely affected unless we are able to pass these significant additional charges to our customers. The ability to recruit, retain and develop qualified personnel is critical to the Company’s success and growth. For the Company to successfully compete and grow, it must retain, recruit and develop the necessary personnel who can provide the needed expertise required inits business. In addition, the Company must develop its personnel to provide succession plans capable of maintaining continuity in the midst of the inevitableunpredictability of human capital. However, the market for qualified personnel is competitive and the Company may not succeed in recruiting additional personnelor may fail to effectively replace current personnel who depart with qualified or effective successors. The Company’s effort to retain and develop personnel mayalso result in significant additional expenses. The Company cannot assure that key personnel, including executive officers, will continue to be employed or that itwill be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. Failure to retain or attract key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Risks Related to Our Common Stock We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore investors should not anticipate cash dividends on their investment. The holders of our common stock and series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends when, and if, declared by our board of directors. Ourboard of directors does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead intends to retain any and all earnings to finance the growth of thebusiness. To date, we have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock or our series A convertible preferred stock and there can be no assurance that cashdividends will ever be paid on our common stock. In addition, our articles of incorporation prohibit the declaration of any dividends on our common stock unless and until all unpaid and accumulated dividends onthe series A convertible preferred stock have been declared and paid. Through September 15, 2015, the unpaid and cumulative dividends on the series Aconvertible preferred stock are $13,257,454. As of June 30, 2015, each share of series A convertible preferred stock was convertible into 0.1940 of a share ofcommon stock at the option of the holder and is subject to further adjustment as provided in our Articles of Incorporation. The unpaid and cumulative dividends onthe series A convertible preferred stock are convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of $1,000 per share at the option of the holder. During the yearended June 30, 2015, none of our series A convertible preferred stock and no cumulative preferred dividends were converted into shares of common stock. Our articles of incorporation also provide that the preferred stock has a liquidation preference over the common stock in the amount of $10 per share plus accruedand unpaid dividends. As of June 30, 2015, the liquidation preference was $17,354,908. Upon certain fundamental transactions involving the Company, such as a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets, we may be required todistribute the liquidation preference then due to the holders of our series A preferred stock as well as cash payments to certain of our warrant holderswhich would reduce the amount of the distributions otherwise to be made to the holders of our common stock in connection with such transactions. Our articles of incorporation provide that upon a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets or upon the disposition of more than 50% of our voting power, theholders of at least 60% of the preferred stock may elect to have such transaction treated as a liquidation and be entitled to receive their liquidation preference. Uponour liquidation, the holders of our preferred stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock which asof June 30, 2015 is equal to $17,354,908. The terms of the warrants that were issued in March 2011 to acquire up to 3,900,000 shares of common stock at $2.6058 per share which expire in September 2016provide that upon a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the warrant) the holder shall have the right to have the warrant purchased by the Company for cash atits Black Scholes Value (as defined in the warrant). The term Fundamental Transaction includes a merger, sale of substantially all of our assets, or if any personshall acquire 50% or more of the voting power of our shares. The Black Scholes Value (as defined in the warrant) payable for the 3,900,000 warrants as of June 30,2015 was approximately $5.3 million. 16 We may issue additional shares of our common stock, which could depress the market price of our common stock and dilute your ownership. As of September 15, 2015, we had issued and outstanding warrants to purchase 4,298,000 shares of our common stock. The shares underlying 4,253,000 of thesewarrants have been registered and may be freely sold. Market sales of large amounts of our common stock, or the potential for those sales even if they do notactually occur, may have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock. In addition, if our future financing needs require us to issue additionalshares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, the supply of common stock available for resale could be increased which could stimulatetrading activity and cause the market price of our common stock to drop, even if our business is doing well. Furthermore, the issuance of any additional shares ofour common stock including those pursuant to the exercise of warrants by the holders thereof, or securities convertible into our common stock could besubstantially dilutive to holders of our common stock. Our stock price may be volatile. The trading price of our common stock is expected to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to various factors including, but not limited to, thefollowing: ●variations in operating results and achievement of key business metrics; ●changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts, if any; ●any differences between reported results and securities analysts’ published or unpublished expectations; ●announcements of new contracts, service offerings or technological innovations by us or our competitors; ●market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments announced by us or our competitors; ●demand for our services and products; ●shares of common stock being sold pursuant to Rule 144 or upon exercise of warrants; ●regulatory matters; ●concerns about our financial position, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to agreements,patents or proprietary rights; ●potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock by shareholders and by the Company; ●the amount of average daily trading volume in our common stock; ●our ability to obtain working capital financing; and ●general economic or stock market conditions unrelated to our operating performance. The securities market in recent years has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance ofparticular companies. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions, may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our commonstock. The substantial market overhang of our shares may tend to depress the market price of our shares. As of September 15, 2015, the Company has 4,253,000 of our shares underlying warrants exercisable at $2.6058 per share at any time before September 18, 2016which are required to be registered by us for resale under applicable securities laws. Sales in the public market of a substantial number of the shares underlyingthese warrants, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition, the sale of these sharescould impair our ability to raise capital, should we wish to do so, through the sale of additional common stock. We are unable to estimate the number of shares thatmay be sold because this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors. Director and officer liability is limited. As permitted by Pennsylvania law, our by-laws limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty except for liabilityin certain instances. As a result of our by-law provisions and Pennsylvania law, shareholders may have limited rights to recover against directors for breach offiduciary duty. In addition, our by-laws and indemnification agreements entered into by the Company with each of the officers and directors provide that we shallindemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our publicly-filed reports are reviewed by the SEC from time to time and any significant changes required as a result of any such review may result inmaterial liability to us, and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock. The reports of publicly-traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicabledisclosure requirements and to enhance the overall effectiveness of companies’ public filings, and comprehensive reviews of such reports are now required at leastevery three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. SEC reviews may be initiated at any time. While we believe that our previously filed SEC reportscomply, and we intend that all future reports will comply in all material respects with the published SEC rules and regulations, we could be required to modify orreformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review. Any modification or reformulation of information contained in such reports couldbe significant and result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock. Item 2. Properties. The Company conducts its operations from various facilities under operating leases. The Company leases 17,249 square feet of space located in Malvern,Pennsylvania for its principal executive office and for general administrative functions, sales activities, product development, and customer support. The lease termexpires on April 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s rent payment for this facility is approximately $32,000 per month. 17 The Company also leases 11,250 square feet of space in Malvern, Pennsylvania for its product warehousing and shipping under a lease agreement, which expireson February 28, 2016. As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s rent payment is approximately $5,000 per month. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. On January 26, 2015, Universal Clearing Solutions, LLC (“Universal Clearing”), a former non-vending customer of the Company, filed a complaint against theCompany in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. On April 10, 2015, Universal Clearing filed an amended complaint, and on June 19, 2015,Universal Clearing filed a second amended complaint, which alleged causes of action against the Company for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, anddefamation. The allegations in the complaint relate to an agreement entered into between the Company and Universal Clearing pursuant to which UniversalClearing could board certain sub-merchants on the Company’s service. The complaint seeks monetary damages allegedly incurred by Universal Clearing as a resultof, among other things, the Company’s refusal to board on its service certain sub-merchants of Universal Clearing. On July 24, 2015, the Company filed an answerto the defamation count of the complaint denying the allegations, and filed a motion to dismiss the remaining counts. The court has not yet ruled on the Company’smotion to dismiss. On July 24, 2015, the Company filed a counterclaim against Universal Clearing seeking damages of approximately $680,000 which were incurred by the Companyin connection with chargebacks relating to Universal Clearing’s sub-merchants which had been boarded on the Company’s service. The counterclaim alleges thatUniversal Clearing is responsible under the agreement for these chargebacks, and Universal Clearing misrepresented to the Company the business practices andother matters relating to these sub-merchants. On August 17, 2015, Universal Clearing filed an answer to the counterclaim denying that it was responsible for thechargebacks or had made any misrepresentations. On August 7, 2015, the Company filed a third party complaint in the pending action against Steven Juliver, the manager of Universal Clearing, as well as againstUniversal Tranware, LLC, and Secureswype, LLC, entities affiliated with Universal Clearing. The third party complaint sets forth causes of action for fraud andbreach of contract, and seeks to recover from these defendants the chargebacks relating to Universal Clearing’s sub-merchants described above. On September 14,2015, the third party defendants filed a motion to dismiss the third party complaint. The court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss. The Company does not believe that the claims set forth in the second amended complaint have merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter. The Companydoes not believe that this action would have a material adverse effect on its financial statements, results of operations or cash flows. The Company also intends topursue its claims for damages set forth in the counterclaim and third party complaint. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not applicable. 18 PART II Item 5.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. USA Technologies, Inc. provides wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring, and other value-added services principally to the small ticket,unattended Point of Sale (“POS”) market. Our ePort ® technology can be installed and/or embedded into everyday devices such as vending machines, a variety ofkiosks, amusement, commercial laundry, kiosk and smartphones via our ePort Mobile™ solution. Our associated service, ePort Connect ® , is a PCI-compliant,comprehensive service that includes simplified credit/debit card processing and support, consumer engagement services as well as telemetry and machine-to-machine (“M2M”) services, including the ability to remotely monitor, control and report on the results of distributed assets containing our electronic paymentsolutions. In addition, the Company provides energy management products, such as its VendingMiser ® and CoolerMiser™, which reduce energy consumption invending machines and coolers. The Company generates revenue in multiple ways. We derive the majority of our revenues from license and transaction fees related to our ePort Connect service.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-partyinstalled POS terminals. The majority of ePort Connect customers pay a monthly fee plus a blended transaction rate on the dollar volume processed by theCompany. Customers with higher expected transaction rates might pay a lower or no ePort Connect monthly fee, but a higher blended transaction rate on dollarvolume processed by the Company. Connections to the ePort Connect service, therefore, are the most significant driver of the Company’s revenues, particularlyrevenues from license and transaction fees. The Company also generates equipment revenue through the direct sale, lease, or rental of ePort ® technology as well as our stand-alone, non-networked energymanagement products. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL 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, isrecognized when the Company’s cashless payment device is initially activated for use on the Company network. Transaction processing revenue is recognizedupon 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 ona 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 thedate 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 witheither the Company or a third-party leasing company for the devices. At the end of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device fora nominal fee.

The Company estimates an allowance for product returns at the date of sale andlicense and transaction fee refunds on a monthly basis. LONG LIVED ASSETS In accordance with ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews its definite lived long-lived assets whenever events orchanges 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 itsnet 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 assetsare 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 Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets purchased in acquisitions. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. Under ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is subject to periodic testing for impairment. Testingfor 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 Companyhas selected April 1 as its annual test date. The Company trademarks with an indefinite economic life are not being amortized. The trademarks, not subject to amortization, are related to the EnergyMiserasset group and consist of four trademarks. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment using a two-step process. The first step screens forpotential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company uses a relief from royalty analysis to complete the first step in thisprocess. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred.The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date for its indefinite-lived intangible assets. Patents and trademarks, with an estimated economic life, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over theirestimated economic life. The Company reviews intangibles, subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that thecarrying amount may not be recoverable. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 Results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 continued to demonstrate growth toward achieving our long-term goals. Highlights of year over year improvementsinclude: ·Record net new connections of 67,000;·Total revenue up 37% to $58.1 million;·Recurring license and transaction fee revenue up 22% to $43.6 million; and·Improvements in cash flows from operating activities in third and fourth quarters, as a result of QuickStart reintroduced during the fiscal year. 23 Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 were $58,077,474, consisting of $43,633,462 of license and transactions fees and $14,444,012 of equipmentsales, compared to $42,344,964 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, consisting of $35,638,121 of license and transaction fees and $6,706,843 of equipmentsales. The increase in total revenue of $15,732,510, or 37%, was equally attributable to the increase in equipment sales of $7,737,169 or 115% and the increase inlicense and transaction fees of $7,995,341, or 22%, from the prior year. Revenue from license and transaction fees, which represented 75% of total revenue for fiscal 2015, is primarily attributable to monthly ePort Connect® servicefees and transaction processing fees. Highlights for fiscal 2015 include: ● Adding 67,000 net connections to our service, consisting of 82,000 new connections to our ePort Connect service in fiscal 2015, offset by 15,000deactivations, compared to 52,000 net connections added in fiscal 2014;● As of June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately 333,000 connections to the ePort Connect service compared to approximately 266,000connections to the ePort Connect service as of June 30, 2014, an increase of 67,000 net connections or 25%;● Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled for fiscal 2015 of 29% and 32%, respectively, compared to thesame period a year ago; and● ePort Connect customer base grew 32% from June 30, 2014. The increase in license and transaction fees was due to the growth in ePort Connect service fees and transaction dollars that stems from the increased number ofconnections to our ePort Connect service. Pursuant to its agreements with customers, in addition to ePort Connect service fees, the Company earns transaction processing fees equal to a percentage of thedollar volume processed by the Company. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company processed approximately 216.6 million transactions totalingapproximately $388.9 million compared to approximately 168.5 million transactions totaling approximately $293.8 million during the year ended June 30, 2014, anincrease of approximately 29% in the number of transactions and approximately 32% in the value of transactions processed. New customers added to our ePort® Connect service during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 totaled 2,300, bringing the total number of customers toapproximately 9,600 as of June 30, 2015. The Company added approximately 2,250 new customers in the year ended June 30, 2014. By comparison, the Companyhad approximately 7,300 customers as of June 30, 2014, representing a 32% increase during the past twelve months. The Company views the total installed base ofmachines managed by its customers that have yet to transition to cashless payment, as a key strategic opportunity for future growth in connections. We count acustomer as a new customer upon the signing of their ePort Connect service agreement. When a reseller sells our ePort, we count a customer as a new customerupon the signing of the applicable services agreement with the customer. The $7,737,169 increase in equipment sales was a result of an increase of approximately $8,159,507 related to ePort® products, offset by decreases ofapproximately $433,130 in Energy Miser products. The increase in ePort products is directly attributable to selling more units, versus renting units via theJumpStart program, during the current fiscal year due to the reintroduction of the QuickStart program in September 2014. The decrease in Energy Miser products isdirectly attributable to selling fewer units during the current fiscal year. Cost of sales consisted of cost of services for license and transaction fees of $29,429,385 and $23,018,001 and equipment costs of $11,825,455 and $4,254,127, forthe years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $13,982,712, or 51%, was due to an increase in cost of equipment salesof $7,571,328 due to selling more units during the period under the QuickStart program. In fiscal 2014, the JumpStart program accounted for a significantpercentage of the Company’s net new connections. Under this program, the cost of the device is depreciated to cost of services for license and transaction fees overthe expected rental period. There was also an increase in cost of services of $6,411,384 that stemmed from the greater number of connections to the Company’sePort Connect service and increases in transaction dollars processed by those connections. Gross profit (“GP”) for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $16,822,634 compared to GP of $15,072,836 for the previous fiscal year, an increase of $1,749,798, or12%, of which $14,204,077 is attributable to license and transaction fees GP and $2,618,557 of equipment sales GP. Overall gross profit margins decreased from36% to 29% due to a decrease in license and transaction fees margins to 33%, from 35% in the prior fiscal year and by a decrease in equipment sales margins to18%, from 37% in the prior fiscal year. License and transaction fees margins decreased due to the impact of certain JumpStart connections added during the third and fourth quarters of 2014 fiscal yearwith fee grace periods extending into fiscal year 2015 under sales incentives, as well as approximately $1,716,000 of net rent expense during the year ended June30, 2015 related to the Sale Leaseback transactions, which is approximately $535,000 higher than the depreciation the Company would have recorded on the ePortsduring the same period had the Sale Leaseback transactions not occurred. Also contributing to the decrease of license and transaction fee margins was a charge ofapproximately $410,000 connection with a customer billing dispute. The decrease in equipment revenue margins is attributable to sales under the QuickStart program, which has generally lower margins than what is recognized undera rental, or JumpStart. In addition, there were approximately $878,000 less in activation fees recorded during fiscal 2015 versus fiscal 2014, which are a highermargin revenue source, and to date have not been part of the QuickStart program. The $166,000 increase in equipment sales GP includes one-time recoveries of $747,000 and $152,000 in the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The$747,000 relates to recoveries arising from a customer agreement; and, the $152,000 was a reversal of a prior charge for equipment rebates. Excluding these one-time items, equipment sales GP decreased $429,000 from the prior year, which was mostly attributable to having $878,000 less GP from ePort activation fees,which are a higher margin revenue source and which to date are not part of the QuickStart Program and $215,000 less GP related to fewer energy miser offset by ahigher dollar volume of gross profit from the large increase in equipment revenue dollars as compared to a year ago. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $16,451,255 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, increased by $2,415,239 or 17%, from the priorfiscal year. Approximately $1,130,000, or 47% of the increase, were non-cash expenses. The overall increase in SG&A is attributable to increases of approximately$1,100,000 in bad debt estimates, $588,000 in employee and director compensation and benefits expenses, $552,000 in consulting and professional services, andby a net increase of $175,000 for various other expenses. 24 Other income and expense for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily consisted of a $393,144 non-cash charge for the change in the fair value of the Company’swarrant liabilities. The primary factor affecting the change in fair value is the increase in the Black-Scholes value of the warrants from June 30, 2014 to June 30,2015, which factored in the increase in the Company’s stock price as well as a decrease in its volatility used for this calculation during that period. The fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 resulted in net loss of $1,089,482 compared to net income of $27,530,652 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. Included innet income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 is a benefit from a reduction in income tax valuation allowances of $26,713,897. After preferred dividends of$664,452 for each fiscal year, net (loss)/income applicable to common shareholders was $(1,753,934) and $26,866,200 for the fiscal years ended 2015 and 2014,respectively. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, net loss per common share (basic and diluted) were $0.05, compared to net earnings per common share (basicand diluted) of $0.78. Non-GAAP net loss was $470,262 for the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to non-GAAP net income of $188,804 for the year ended June 30, 2014.Management believes that non-GAAP net income is an important measure of USAT’s business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures tomonitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. We believe that non-GAAPfinancial measures serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-term performance of our corebusiness and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP (United States’Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current and future financialperformance. A reconciliation of net income to Non-GAAP net income for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: Year ended June 30, 2015 2014 (1) Net income (loss) $(1,089,482) $27,530,652 Non-GAAP adjustments: Non-cash portion of income tax provision (benefit) 226,076 (27,276,419)Fair value of warrant adjustment 393,144 (65,429)Non-GAAP net income (loss) $(470,262) $188,804 Net income (loss) $(1,089,482) $27,530,652 Cumulative preferred dividends (664,452) (664,452)Net income (loss) applicable to common shares $(1,753,934) $26,866,200 Non-GAAP net income (loss) $(470,262) $188,804 Cumulative preferred dividends (664,452) (664,452)Non-GAAP net loss applicable to common shares $(1,134,714) $(475,648) Net earnings (loss) per common share - basic and diluted $(0.05) $0.78 Non-GAAP net loss per common share - basic and diluted $(0.03) $(0.01) Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic and diluted 35,663,386 34,613,497 (1)Net income for the year ended June 30, 2014 includes an income tax benefit of $27,255,398 for the reduction on tax valuation allowances. As used herein, non-GAAP net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding costs or benefits relating to any adjustment for fair value of warrantliabilities and non-cash portions of the Company’s income tax benefit (provision). Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted is calculated bydividing non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. 25 For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $6,258,993. Reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the yearsended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: Year ended June 30, 2015 2014 Net income (loss) $(1,089,482) $27,530,652 Less interest income (82,695) (30,337) Plus interest expense 301,767 256,844 Plus income tax expense (benefit) 289,141 (27,255,398) Plus depreciation expense 5,731,356 5,463,985 Plus amortization expense - 21,953 Plus change in fair value of warrant liabilities 393,144 (65,429) Plus stock-based compensation 715,762 529,041 Adjusted EBITDA $6,258,993 $6,451,311 As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fairvalue of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-operating item, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because itrepresents 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 doesnot reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP(Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for thefinancial 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 incomeor 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 ispresented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible tovariances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-basedcompensation expense. FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 Results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 continued to demonstrate growth and improvements in the Company’s operations as compared to the fiscal yearended June 30, 2013.

Revenue from license and transaction fees, which represented 84% of total revenue for fiscal 2014, is primarily attributable to monthly ePort Connect® servicefees and transaction processing fees. Highlights for fiscal 2014 include: ● Adding 52,000 net connections to our service, consisting of 76,000 new connections to our ePort Connect service in fiscal 2014, offset by 24,000deactivations, compared to 50,000 net connections added in fiscal 2013;● As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 266,000 connections to the ePort Connect service compared to approximately 214,000connections to the ePort Connect service as of June 30, 2013, an increase of 52,000 net connections or 24%;● Increases in the number of small-ticket, credit/debit transactions and dollars handled for fiscal 2014 of 31% and 34%, respectively, compared to thesame period a year ago; and● ePort Connect customer base grew 24% from June 30, 2013. The increase in license and transaction fees was due to the growth in ePort Connect service fees and transaction dollars that stems from the increased number ofconnections to our ePort Connect service. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately 266,000 connections to the ePort Connect service compared toapproximately 214,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of June 30, 2013. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company added approximately52,000 net connections to our network compared to approximately 50,000 net connections added during the year ended June 30, 2013. Pursuant to its agreements with customers, in addition to ePort Connect service fees, the Company earns transaction processing fees equal to a percentage of thedollar volume processed by the Company. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company processed approximately 169 million transactions totalingapproximately $294 million compared to approximately 129 million transactions totaling approximately $219 million during the year ended June 30, 2013, anincrease of approximately 31% in the number of transactions and approximately 34% in the value of transactions processed. 26 New customers added to our ePort® Connect service during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 totaled 2,250, bringing the total number of customers toapproximately 7,300 as of June 30, 2014. The Company added approximately 1,750 new customers in the year ended June 30, 2013. By comparison, the Companyhad approximately 5,050 customers as of June 30, 2013, representing a 45% increase during the past twelve months. The Company views the total installed base ofmachines managed by its customers that have yet to transition to cashless payment, as a key strategic opportunity for future growth in connections. We count acustomer as a new customer upon the signing of their ePort Connect service agreement. When a reseller sells our ePort, we count a customer as a new customerupon the signing of the applicable services agreement with the customer. The $811,028 increase in equipment sales was a result of an increase of approximately $1,058,000 related to ePort® products, offset by decreases of approximately$174,000 in Energy Miser products and approximately $73,000 in other products. The $1,058,000 increase in ePort products is directly attributable to selling moreunits and an increase in activation fees during the current fiscal year. The $174,000 decrease in Energy Miser products is directly attributable to selling fewer unitsduring the current fiscal year. Cost of sales consisted of cost of services for license and transaction fee related costs of $23,018,001 and $18,219,945 and equipment costs of $4,254,127 and$3,623,686, for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in total cost of sales of $5,428,497, or 25%, was due to an increase in cost ofservices of $4,798,056 that stemmed from the greater number of connections to the Company’s ePort Connect service and increases in transaction dollarsprocessed by those connections. Also, there was an increase in cost of equipment sales of $630,441 due to selling more units during the period. Gross profit (“GP”) for the year ended June 30, 2014 was $15,072,836 compared to GP of $14,096,613 for the previous fiscal year, an increase of $976,223, or 7%,of which $12,620,120 is attributable to license and transaction fees GP and $2,452,716 of equipment sales GP. Overall gross profit margins decreased from 39% to36% due to a decrease in license and transaction fees margins to 35%, from 39% in the prior fiscal year and by a decrease in equipment sales margins to 37%, from39% in the prior fiscal year. Lower license and transaction fee margins are largely attributable to approximately 24,000 deactivations that occurred during the fiscalyear primarily attributable to one customer as well as the impact of certain new JumpStart connections associated with grace periods under sales incentives. For thenew connections associated with the grace periods, the Company incurred costs without receiving the associated monthly service fees. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $14,036,016 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, increased by $1,967,450 or 16%, from the priorfiscal year. The overall increase is comprised of approximately a $1,207,000 increase in employee and director compensation and benefit expenses; $329,000 inprofessional services, $224,000 increase in sales and marketing expenses; and, smaller, numerous, net increases in several other expenses totaling $207,000. Theincrease in employee and director compensation and benefits expenses predominantly related to expanding our base of employees, sales commissions and bonusesfor record connections added in fiscal 2014 as well as bonus accruals related to performance-based compensation arrangements. Other income and expense for the year ended June 30, 2014, primarily consisted of a reduction of $26.7 million of the valuation allowance we had on our deferredtax assets as the Company believes that it is more likely than not it will be able to utilize net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable earnings. Alsoincluded is $65,429 of non-cash gain for the change in the fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities. The primary factor affecting the change in fair value isthe decrease in the Black-Scholes value of the warrants from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014, which factored in the increase in the Company’s stock price as wellas a decrease in its volatility during that period. The fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 resulted in net income of $27,530,652 compared to net income of $854,123 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, animprovement of $26,676,529 between fiscal years. Included in net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 is a benefit from reduction income tax valuationallowances of $26,713,897. After preferred dividends of $664,452 for each fiscal year, net income applicable to common shareholders was $26,866,200 and$189,671 for the fiscal years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, net earnings per common share (basic and diluted) were$0.78, compared to net earnings per common share (basic and diluted) of $0.01. Non-GAAP net income was $751,326 for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to non-GAAP net income of $914,195 for the year ended June 30, 2013.Management believes that non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income is an important measure of USAT’s business. Management uses the aforementionednon-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. Webelieve that non-GAAP financial measures serve as useful metrics for our management and investors because they enable a better understanding of the long-termperformance of our core business and facilitate comparisons of our operating results over multiple periods, and when taken together with the corresponding GAAP(United States’ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures and our reconciliations, enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current andfuture financial performance. 27 A reconciliation of net income to Non-GAAP net income for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows: Year ended June 30, 2014 (1) 2013 Net income $27,530,652 $854,123 Non-GAAP adjustments: Proxy related costs (SG&A) - 328,000 Non-cash portion of income tax provision/benefit (27,276,419) 27,646 Fair value of warrant adjustment (65,429) (267,928)Non-GAAP net income $188,804 $941,841 Net income $27,530,652 $854,123 Cumulative preferred dividends (664,452) (664,452)Net income applicable to common shares $26,866,200 $189,671 Non-GAAP net income $188,804 $941,841 Cumulative preferred dividends (664,452) (664,452)Non-GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common shares $(475,648) $277,389 Net earnings per common share - basic $0.78 $0.01 Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - basic $- $0.01 Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding 34,613,497 32,787,673 Net earnings per common share - diluted $0.78 $0.01 Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per common share - diluted $- $0.01 Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding 34,613,497 33,613,346 (1)Net income for the year ended June 30, 2014 includes an income tax benefit of $27,255,398 for the reduction on tax valuation allowances. As used herein, non-GAAP net income represents GAAP net income excluding costs relating to the proxy contest, any adjustment for fair value of warrantliabilities and changes in the Company’s valuation allowances for taxes. As used herein, non-GAAP net earnings per common share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and where diluted shares are required, adds back thepreferred dividend since the conversion of preferred shares are accounted for in the diluted share count. 28 For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $6,451,311. Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the yearsended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows: Year ended June 30, 2014 2013 Net income $27,530,652 $854,123 Less interest income (30,337) (57,121) Plus interest expense 256,844 157,205 Plus income tax expense (benefit) (27,255,398) 27,646 Plus depreciation expense 5,463,985 3,837,174 Plus amortization expense 21,953 742,400 Plus change in fair value of warrant liabilities (65,429) (267,928) Plus stock-based compensation 529,041 502,907 Adjusted EBITDA $6,451,311 $5,796,406 As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value ofwarrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-operating item, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because itrepresents a non-cash charge or gai n that is not related to the Company’s operations. We have excluded the non-cash expense, stock-based compensation, as itdoes not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP(Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for thefinancial 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 incomeor 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 ispresented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible tovariances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-basedcompensation expense. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the year ended June 30, 2015, net cash used by operating activities was $1,697,742 as a result of a net loss of $1,089,482, offset by non-cash operatingactivities net benefit of $7,251,674, and net cash used by the change in operating assets and liabilities of $7,859,934. Of the $7,251,674 of non-cash activities, themost significant during fiscal year 2015 was $5,731,356 depreciation expense, of which, $5,119,674 related to depreciation on JumpStart equipment allocated tocost of services. In addition to depreciation expense, other non-cash charges included $715,762 related to the vesting of equity-based compensation for employeesand directors, $1,099,528 of bad debt expense, $393,144 expense due to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities and $395,038 of deferred income taxes.These non-cash charges were offset by an $833,619 non-cash gain from sale-leaseback transactions. The $7,859,934 cash used in the change in the Company’soperating assets and liabilities was the result of increases in finance receivables of $4,113,898 related to the QuickStart program, accounts receivable of$2,517,493, predominately related to sales of hardware sold with credit terms, $1,930,857 in inventory; these uses of cash were partially offset by an increase of$918,761 in accounts payable. During the fiscal year the Company reintroduced QuickStart, a program whereby our customers are able to purchase our ePort hardware via a five-year, non-cancellable lease. From its introduction in September 2014 and through approximately mid-March 2015, the Company was entering into these leases directly withits customers. Under this scenario, the Company recorded a long-term and short-term receivable for the five-year leases. The $4,113,898 increase in financereceivables is directly due to leases the Company entered into directly with its customers. In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2015, the Company signedvendor agreements with two leasing companies, whereby our customers would enter into leases directly with the leasing companies. Under this scenario, theCompany invoiced the leasing company for the equipment leased by our customer, and recorded as an accounts receivable. Unlike its finance receivables, whichthe cash would be collected over a five-year period, the accounts receivable due from the leasing company is typically collected within 30 days. Since entering intothe vendor agreements, and through June 30, 2015, the majority of QuickStart sales consummated were with the customer entering into the lease directly with theleasing company, which contributed to the $2,517,493 increase in accounts receivable, whereby amounts due from the leasing companies had not yet beencollected by June 30, 2015. There has been a shift by our customers from acquiring our product via JumpStart, which accounted for 60% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2014, and wasjust 4% in our 2015 fourth quarter, to QuickStart or a straight purchase, which accounted for 89% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2015 and wasapproximately 54% of gross connections for our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter. This is further illustrated in our cash flow statement whereby the cash used for thepurchase of property for rental program reduced from $10,883,473 in fiscal 2014 to just $1,641,993 in fiscal 2015. This shift, as well as our ability to increase thecash collection under QuickStart sales, by utilizing leasing companies (as described above) if available, significantly improves cash flows from operating activities.We believe we will continue to be able to utilize third party leasing companies in our QuickStart program, and therefore do not expect finance receivables toincrease in the future. The exception being, for any customer unable to secure third party leasing for which the Company may decide to enter in a lease directlywith the customer or if we are unable to procure satisfactory and/or sufficient third party leasing arrangements. During the year ended June 30, 2015, $3,353,491 of cash was provided by investing activities of which $4,993,879 was received from the sale of rental equipmentunder sale-leaseback transactions, which were offset by cash used of $1,641,993 related to the purchase of equipment for the JumpStart program. 29 Net cash provided by financing activities was $645,904 predominately from $2,056,724 of proceeds received by selling finance receivables with recourse and/orthe rights to the cash flows from the finance receivables to a third party leasing company, offset by the repayment of $1,000,000 on the Line of Credit and$358,582 of debt. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $6,258,993 compared to $6,451,311 for the prior fiscal year. The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA toreflect the liquidity of operations and a measure of operational cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant non-cash charges such as depreciation, fair valuewarrant liability changes, stock-based compensation from net income and changes to the Company’s valuation allowances for taxes. We believe that, providedthere are no unusual or unanticipated material non-operational expenses, achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA is sustainable, and will continue to increase, as ourconnection base increases. As a result of the continued growth in connections to our ePort Connect service that has resulted in strong growth in recurring revenue from license and transactionfees and the improvement in GP dollars, as well as the significant reduction in cash used for JumpStart, and the utilization of third party leasing companies in ourQuickStart program, the Company generated positive free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for the purchase of rentalequipment/JumpStart) for its third and fourth quarters in fiscal year 2015. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter was $2,681,155, and the Company believes it willcontinue to generate positive free cash flow for the 2016 fiscal year, assuming QuickStart remains a significant component of connections, and third party leasingcompanies continue to enter into leases directly with our customers. The Company has three sources of cash available to fund and grow the business as of June 30, 2015: (1) cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $11million; (2) the anticipated cash provided by operating activities from our QuickStart program; and (3) $3 million available under the line of credit with acommercial bank, provided we continue to satisfy the various covenants set forth in the loan agreement. The line of credit matures on August 17, 2017. In addition,the Company believes the capital markets, debt and equity, would be available to provide additional sources of cash, if required. Therefore, the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents and available cash resources as of June 30, 2015, would provide sufficient funds through atleast July 1, 2016 in order to meet its cash requirements, including payment of its accrued expenses and payables, any cash resources to be utilized for theJumpStart program, other anticipated capital expenditures, and the repayment of long-term debt. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS As of June 30, 2015, the Company had certain contractual obligations due over a period of time as summarized in the following table: Payments due by period Less Than More than Contractual Obligations Total 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years 5 years Long-Term Debt Obligations $2,483,072 $519,472 $1,572,269 $391,330 $- Capital Lease Obligations 382,666 157,304 225,362 - - Operating Lease Obligations, other 362,737 361,927 810 - - Operating Lease Obligations under Sale Leaseback 5,420,041 2,641,155 2,778,886 - - Total $8,648,516 $3,679,859 $4,577,328 $391,330 $- Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. The Company’s exposure to market risks for interest rate changes is not significant. Interest rates on its long-term debt are generally fixed. The Company has noexposure to market risks related to Available-for-sale securities. Market risks related to fluctuations of foreign currencies are not significant and the Company hasno derivative instruments. 30 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

F- 5 USA Technologies, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. BUSINESS USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, “USAT”, or “Our”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. We are a providerof 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 marketsegments, such as amusement, commercial laundry, kiosk and others. Since our founding, we have designed and marketed systems and solutions that facilitateelectronic payment options, as well as telemetry and machine-to-machine (“M2M”) services, which include the ability to remotely monitor, control, and report onthe results of distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions. Historically, these distributed assets have relied on cash for payment in the form ofcoins 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. 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompanyaccounts 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 estimatesand 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 Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtfulaccounts for accounts receivable and finance receivables based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers’ ability to pay and current economictrends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when management determines the balance is uncollectible and the Company ceasescollection 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 AccountingStandards Board Accounting Standards Codification® (“ASC”) Topic 840, “Leases”, agreements under the Quick Start Program qualify for sales-type leaseaccounting. Accordingly, the future minimum lease payments are classified as finance receivables in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Financereceivables or Quick Start leases are generally for a sixty month term. Finance receivables are carried at their contractual amount and charged off against theallowance for credit losses when management determines that recovery is unlikely and the Company ceases collection efforts. The Company recognizes a portionof the note or lease payments as interest income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements based on the effective interest rate method. INVENTORY Inventory consists of finished goods and packaging materials. The Company’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost (average cost basis) or market. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the respective lease term. INTANGIBLE ASSETS The company’s intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks and patents. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets purchased in acquisitions. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. Under ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is subject to periodic testing for impairment. Testingfor 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 Companyhas selected April 1 as its annual test date. The Company has concluded there has been no impairment of goodwill during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015,2014 and 2013, respectively. F- 6 USA Technologies, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Company trademarks with an indefinite economic life are not being amortized. The trademarks, not subject to amortization, are related to the miser asset groupand consist of the following trademarks: 1) VendingMiser, 2) CoolerMiser, 3) PlugMiser and 4) SnackMiser. The Company tests indefinite-life intangible assetsfor impairment using a two-step process. The first step screens for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Companyuses a relief from royalty analysis to complete the first step in this process. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events orcircumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date for its indefinite-lived intangibleassets. The Company has concluded there has been no impairment of trademarks during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Patents and trademarks, with an estimated economic life, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over theirestimated economic life. Intangible assets with an estimated economic life were fully amortized as of June 30, 2014. 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 orchanges 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 itsnet 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 assetsare 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. TheCompany has concluded that the carrying amount of definite lived long-lived assets is recoverable as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic820”): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends certain disclosure requirements of Subtopic 820-10. This ASU providesadditional 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 requirementsincluding 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 usesinputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy to measure its financial assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows: Level 1- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2- Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs includequoted 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 otherthan 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 byobservable 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 developsthese 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 andaccrued expenses, are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’sobligations under its long-term debt credit agreements and the long-term portion of its finance receivables approximates their carrying value as such instrumentsare at market rates currently available to the Company. CONCENTRATION OF RISK S Financial instruments that subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts and finance receivables. The Companymaintains cash with various financial institutions where accounts may exceed federally insured limits at times. Approximately 35% and 22% of the Company’strade accounts and finance receivables at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were concentrated with one customer. Concentration of revenues with customers subject the Company to operating risks. Approximately 21%, 26% and 26% of the Company’s license and transactionprocessing revenues for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were concentrated with one customer. Additionally for the year ended June30, 2013, approximately 11% of the license and transaction processing fees were with another customer. There was a 17% concentration of equipment salesrevenue with one customer for the year ended June 30, 2015 with no concentrations for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s customers areprincipally located in the United States. 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, isrecognized when the Company’s cashless payment device is initially activated for use on the Company network. Transaction processing revenue is recognizedupon 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 ona 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 thedate 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 witheither the Company or a third-party leasing company for the devices. At the end of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device fora nominal fee. EQUIPMENT RENTAL The Company offers its customers a rental program for its ePort devices, the JumpStart program (“JumpStart”). JumpStart terms are typically 36 months and arecancellable with thirty to sixty days’ written notice. In accordance with ASC 840, “Leases”, the Company classifies the rental agreements as operating leases, withservice fee revenue related to the leases included in license and transaction fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cost for the JumpStart revenues,which consists of depreciation expense on the JumpStart equipment, is included in cost of services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. ePort equipmentutilized by the JumpStart program is included in property and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. F- 7 USA Technologies, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) WARRANTY COSTS The Company generally warrants its products for one to three years. Warranty costs are estimated and recorded at the time of sale based on historical warrantyexperience, if available. These costs are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, periodically throughout the year. SHIPPING AND HANDLING Shipping and handling fees billed to our customers in connection with sales are recorded as revenue. The costs incurred for shipping and handling of our productare recorded as cost of equipment. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrativeexpenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $1,457,000, $1,018,000 and $901,000, for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and2013, respectively. Our research and development initiatives focus on adding features and functionality to our system solutions through the development andutilization of our processing and reporting network and new technology. ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY AWARDS In accordance with ASC 718 the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of theaward and allocated over the requisite service period of the award. INCOME TAXES The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which provides detailed guidance for the financialstatement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods. Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognizedfor estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuationallowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. TheCompany recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general and administrative expenses. No interest or penalties relatedto uncertain tax positions were accrued or incurred during the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013. The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The tax years ended June 30, 2012 through June 30,2015 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. As of June 30, 2015, the Company did not have any income taxexaminations in process. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding forthe period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average common sharesoutstanding for the period plus the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents unless the effects of such common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive. For the yearsended June 30, 2015 and 2014 no effect for common stock equivalents was considered in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effectwas anti-dilutive. For the year ended June 30, 2013 the dilutive effect for 825,673 shares of common stock equivalents was considered in the calculation of dilutedearnings (loss) per share. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, prescribes the reporting required for comprehensive income and items of other comprehensive income. Entities having noitems of other comprehensive income are not required to report on comprehensive income. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income for its yearsended June 30, 2015, 2014 or 2013.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described in Note 2, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are required tobe measured at fair value as of June 30, 2015 and 2014: June 30, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Common stock warrant liability, warrants exercisable at$2.6058 from September 18, 2011 through September 18,2016 $- $- $978,353 $978,353 June 30, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Common stock warrant liability, warrants exercisable at$2.6058 from September 18, 2011 through September 18,2016 $- $- $585,209 $585,209 The Level 3 financial instrument consists of common stock warrants issued by the Company in March 2011 include features requiring liability treatment of thewarrants. The fair value of warrants issued in March 2011 (see Note 13) to purchase 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock is based on valuationsperformed by an independent third party valuation firm. The fair value was determined using proprietary valuation models using the quality of the underlyingsecurities of the warrants, restrictions on the warrants and security underlying the warrants, time restrictions and precedent sale transactions completed in thesecondary market or in other private transactions. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between level 1, level 2, or level 3 during the years ended June 30,2015 and 2014.

INCOME TAXES The Company has significant deferred tax assets, a substantial amount of which result from operating loss carryforwards. The Company routinely evaluates itsability to realize the benefits of these assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that such benefit will be realized. In periods prior to the year ended June30, 2014, the Company’s evaluation of its ability to realize the benefit from its deferred tax assets resulted in a full valuation allowance against such assets. Basedupon earnings performance that the Company had achieved along with the belief that such performance will continue into future years, the Company determinedduring the year ended June 30, 2014 that it was more likely than not that a substantial portion of its deferred tax assets would be realized and reduced its valuationallowances recorded in prior years by approximately $27 million, which includes $40,245 of deferred tax liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2013 reversing in thecurrent year. In addition to considering recent periods’ performance, the evaluation of the amount of deferred tax assets expected to be realized involves forecasting the amountof taxable income that will be generated in future years. The Company has forecasted future results using estimates that management believes to be conservative.The number of connections added in a service year are a key metric, which in the Company’s recurring revenue service model become an important ingredient indriving future growth and earnings. The forecasts the Company used assumes that significantly fewer net connections would be added to its service year than whatit has historically achieved during each of its previous five fiscal years. With respect to its forecasts, the Company also has taken into account several industryanalysts who have projected that demand for technology and services similar to the Company’s will continue to grow in the markets the Company serves. Usingthese forecasts, the Company estimated that it was more likely than not that approximately $64 million of its operating loss carryforwards would be utilized tooffset corresponding future years’ taxable income. If in future periods the Company demonstrates its ability to grow taxable income in excess of the forecasts described above, it will re-evaluate the need to keepsome, or all, of the remaining valuation allowances of approximately $23 million on its deferred tax assets. The benefit (provision) for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 is comprised of the following: 2015 2014 2013 Current: Federal $(58,028) $(21,021) $- State (6,325) - - (64,353) (21,021) - Deferred: Federal 365,143 20,970,149 (20,842)State (589,931) 6,306,270 (6,804) (224,788) 27,276,419 (27,646) $(289,141) $27,255,398 $(27,646) The provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2015 includes $395,605 for the state and federal income tax effects of a decrease in the applicable statetax rate used to tax effect deferred tax assets caused by a state income tax law change. The provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2013 wasrecorded for the future potential income tax effects for basis differences between financial reporting and income tax purposes for indefinite life intangible assetsand goodwill that are being amortized for income tax purposes but not for financial reporting. Because there was a full valuation allowance reflected againstdeferred tax assets as of June 30, 2013, the potential future income tax effects associated with such indefinite life assets were not subject to offset deferred taxassets with finite lives. A reconciliation of the benefit (provision) for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 to the indicated benefit (provision) based on income(loss) before benefit (provision) for income taxes at the federal statutory rate of 34% is as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Indicated benefit (provision) at federal statutory rate of 34% $272,116 $(93,586) $(299,801)Effects of permanent differences (215,271) (8,168) 71,379 State income taxes, net of federal benefit (410,410) (17,989) (4,490)Income tax credits 40,000 - - Changes related to prior years 187,373 - - Change in valuation allowances (162,949) 27,375,141 205,266 $(289,141) $27,255,398 $(27,646) F- 14 USA Technologies, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 10. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) At June 30, 2015 the Company had federal operating loss carryforwards of approximately $163 million to offset future taxable income expiring throughapproximately 2035. The timing and extent to which the Company can utilize operating loss carryforwards in any year may be limited by provisions of the InternalRevenue Code regarding changes in ownership of corporations (i.e. IRS Code Section 382). The changes in ownership limitations under IRS Code Section 382have had the effect of limiting the maximum amount of operating loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2015 available for use to offset future years’ taxable income toapproximately $125 million. Those operating loss carryforwards start to expire June 30, 2022. The net deferred tax assets arose primarily from net operating loss carryforwards, as well as the use of different accounting methods for financial statement andincome tax reporting purposes as follows: June 30, 2015 2014 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $46,919,363 $47,776,042 Asset reserves 791,915 391,155 Deferred research and development costs 1,009,303 710,640 Intangibles 605,836 907,274 Deferred gain on assets under sale-leaseback transaction 632,317 460,902 Stock-based compensation 223,883 250,426 Other 436,510 348,885 50,619,127 50,845,324 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets (491,990) (683,159)Intangibles and goodwill (84,520) (67,459)Deferred tax assets, net 50,042,617 50,094,706 Valuation allowance (22,996,634) (22,833,685)Deferred tax assets (liabilties), net of allowance 27,045,983 27,261,021 Less current portion 1,257,796 907,691 Deferred tax assets (liabilties), non-current $25,788,187 $26,353,330 11.

On December 30, 2014, the Company settled a legal action brought in connection with a customer billing dispute. Under the settlement, the Company agreed topay approximately $690,000. Approximately $280,000 of this amount was recorded in fiscal 2014 and $410,000 of this amount was recorded in fiscal 2015 andwas reflected in Cost of Services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During 2015, the Company became involved in a legal proceeding with a former non- vending customer and entities affiliated with the former customer.

The Company does not believe any ofthe claims asserted against it have merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter. Additionally, the Company intends to pursue its claims in order to recoupthe chargebacks . F- 20 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015. Based on thisevaluation, they conclude that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, the disclosure controls andprocedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure thatinformation required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are accumulated andcommunicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, asappropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded thatthe consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flowsfor the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. (b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting. Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process affected by the Company’s management to provide reasonable assurance regardingthe reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally acceptedaccounting principles. In designing and evaluating our internal controls and procedures, our management recognized that internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceivedand operated, can provide only a reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal controls and procedures are met. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. In making this assessment, it used thecriteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission’s 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based onits assessment, management identified deficiencies in both the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, whichwhen aggregated, represent a material weakness in internal control. The most significant of these was the process over the reconcilement, analysis and managementoversight of certain customer accounts receivable balances related to customer processing and service fees. The procedures in place did not identify a large numberof small balance accounts that may be uncollectible and were not appropriately dispositioned, collected, remediated, reserved-for and/or written-off. As a result, theCompany changed its June 30, 2015 financial results included in its September 10, 2015 press release by increasing its bad debt reserve by approximately$450,000, resulting in an after-tax charge of approximately $270,000 relating to these customer accounts receivable. A material weakness is a deficiency or acombination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual orinterim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of this material weakness, management concluded that the Company didnot maintain effective control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. The Company’s internal controls over financial reporting with respect to the reconcilement, analysis and management oversight of certain customer accountsreceivable balances are being evaluated and will be adjusted appropriately and remediated as soon as is practical. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companiesunder Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. (c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or arereasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting except those reported in section 9 A (b) above. 32 PART III Item 10.

The Compensation Committee has, from time to time, retained anindependent compensation consultant, Buck Consultants, LLC, as deemed necessary to assist the Committee in making appropriate recommendations regardingour executive officers’ compensation. We have developed a compensation policy that is designed to attract and retain key executives responsible for our success and motivate management to enhancelong-term shareholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that compensation of the Company’s executive officers should encourage creation ofshareholder value and achievement of strategic corporate objectives, and the Committee seeks to align the interests of the Company’s shareholders andmanagement by integrating compensation with the Company’s annual and long-term corporate and financial objectives. The Compensation Committee also ties asignificant portion of each executive officer’s compensation to key operational and financial goals and performance. We have also designed and implemented our compensation package in order to be competitive with other companies in our peer group, as compiled by ourcompensation consultant, and to motivate and retain our executive officers. Our compensation package also takes into account individual responsibilities andperformance. Certain elements of our compensation reflect different compensation objectives. For example, as base salaries are generally fixed in advance of the year in whichthe compensation will be earned, the Committee believes that it is appropriate to determine base salaries with a focus on similarly situated officers at comparablepeer group companies while also having them reflect the officer’s performance. On the other hand, annual bonuses and long-term incentives are better able toreflect the Company’s performance as measured by total number of connections, total revenues, non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBIDTA, and cash generatedfrom operations. In addition, annual bonuses and long-term incentive awards, including the performance goals they are based on, help us achieve our goal ofretaining executives, and motivating executive officers to increase shareholder value. The other elements of compensation reflect the Committee’s and Board’sphilosophy that personal benefits, including retirement and health benefits, should be available to all employees on a non-discriminatory basis. Our Executive Compensation Practices Our compensation program for our executive officers features many commonly used “best practices” including: ·Pay-for-performance. A substantial part of our executive officer’s pay is, in our view, performance based. For the 2015 fiscal year, our Chief ExecutiveOfficer had approximately 62% of his total target compensation tied to performance while our Chief Financial Officer had approximately 55% of his totaltarget compensation tied to performance.·Stretch performance goals. Our performance target goals under our 2015 STI Plan and 2015 LTI Stock Plan are designed to stretch individual andorganizational performance in order to receive target payouts. 35 ·Capped payouts under incentive plans. Both our long-term and short-term bonus programs have maximum payout amounts in order to discourageexcessive risk taking.·Stock ownership guidelines. We have significant ownership guidelines. Our Chief Executive Officer is required to hold common stock with a value equalto a multiple of three times his base salary and our Chief Financial Officer is required to hold common stock with a value equal to one time his basesalary.·No Tax Gross-Up Provisions. Our compensation program does not include any excise tax gross-up provisions with respect to payments contingent upon achange of control.·Limited perquisites for our executives. Perquisites are not a significant portion of our executive officers’ compensation, representing 1% of Mr. Herbert’sand 1% of Mr. DeMedio’s total target compensation.·Independent compensation consultant. The Committee has from time to time retained an independent compensation consultant, Buck Consultants, LLC,to review the executive compensation programs and practices.·No payment on change of control without a “double trigger”. Payments under our employment agreements require two events for vesting – both thechange of control and a “good reason” for termination of employment.·No repricing of underwater options. Our stock option incentive plan does not permit repricing or the exchange of underwater stock options withoutshareholder approval. Pay-for-Performance Review Pay-for-performance is an important component of our compensation philosophy and is evident in the structure of our compensation program. Our compensationapproach is designed to motivate our executive officers to substantially contribute to the Company’s long-term sustainable growth. Our pay-for-performanceapproach provides that a large portion of our executive officers’ total compensation should be in the form of short-term and long-term incentive awards withperformance hurdles designed to stretch individual and organizational performance. Reinforcing pay-for-performance is a significant underpinning of our compensation program. During the 2015 fiscal year, a total of 62% of Mr. Herbert’s and 55%of Mr. DeMedio’s total target compensation was in the form of performance-based variable compensation designed to motivate them to deliver strong businessperformance and create shareholder value. These compensation elements were dependent upon the Company’s achievement of pre-established financial and otherbusiness goals recommended by the Committee as well as individual goals established by the Committee or consisted of stock option awards which are inherentlyperformance based as they only deliver value if the stock price increases. All stock options awarded by the Committee are exercisable at the closing share price onthe date of the grant. Based on actual results, the annual variable compensation amount and the ultimate value of the equity compensation awards could have beensignificantly reduced if the Company or management did not perform. For fiscal year 2015, the targeted aggregate compensation of our named executive officers consisted of the following components expressed as a percentage of totalcompensation: Named Executive Officer Base Salary Annual Bonus Long-Term Incentive Compensation Perquisites & Other Benefits Total Compensation Stephen P. Herbert 37% 15% 47% 1% 100% David M. DeMedio 44% 11% 44% 1% 100% Michael Lawlor 49% 49% 0% 2% 100% Maeve Duska 63% 37% 0% 0% 100% The long-term incentive compensation in the above table does not reflect the one-time awards to Mr. Herbert of non-qualified stock options to purchase up to150,000 shares, to Mr. DeMedio of non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 90,000 shares, to Mr. Lawlor of incentive stock options to purchase up to 25,000shares, or to Ms. Duska of incentive stock options to purchase up to 25,000 shares. The foregoing awards are, however, reflected in the table set forth below aslong-term incentive compensation. The long-term incentive compensation in the above table and in the table set forth below each reflect the awards to Mr. Herbertof incentive stock options to purchase up to 55,555 shares and to Mr. DeMedio of incentive stock options to purchase up to 33,333 shares. For fiscal year 2015, the aggregate compensation actually paid or awarded to our named executive officers consisted of the following components expressed as apercentage of total compensation: Named Executive Officer Base Salary Annual Bonus Long-Term Incentive Compensation Perquisites & Other Benefits Total Compensation Stephen P. Herbert 40% 12% 47% 1% 100% David M. DeMedio 47% 6% 46% 1% 100% Michael Lawlor 64% 15% 18 % 3% 100% Maeve Duska 73% 15% 12% 0% 100% Peer Group Analysis In July 2014, the Company obtained an updated analysis from Buck Consultants, LLC which contained a new peer group and updated the compensation analysisthat had been previously performed. Buck Consultants, LLC assembled a peer group of 15 companies that it deemed comparable to the Company on the basis ofsize, market capitalization, industry, or financial performance. The peer group consisted of: 36 ·Clearfield, Inc. ·Netsol Technologies, Inc. ·Procera Networks, Inc.·Immersion Corp. ·Local Corp. ·Tangoe, Inc.·Digimarc Corp. ·Numerex Corp. ·Transact Technologies, Inc.·Jive Software, Inc. ·Onvia, Inc. ·Westell Technologies, Inc.·LGL Group, Inc. ·Planar Systems, Inc. ·Planet Payment, Inc. When making compensation decisions, the Committee reviews the aggregate target compensation paid to an executive officer relative to the compensation paid tosimilarly situated executives, to the extent available, at our peer companies. For fiscal year 2015, the Committee recommended a compensation program for ourexecutive officers consisting of target level compensation approximately equal to the 50th percentile for similarly situated officers at the peer group companiescompiled by Buck Consultants. Elements of Compensation This section describes the various elements of our compensation program for our named executive officers during the 2015 fiscal year. The components ofcompensation reflected in our named executive officers’ compensation program are set forth in the following table: Element Key Characteristics Why We Pay this Element How We Determine the Amount Base Salary Fixed compensation component payable incash. Reviewed annually and adjusted whenappropriate. Provide a base level of competitive cashcompensation for executive talent. Experience, job scope, peer group, andindividual performance. Annual Bonus Variable compensation component payable incash or stock based on performance ascompared to annually-established companyand/or individual performance goals. Motivate and reward executives forperformance on key operational, financialand personal measures during the year. Organizational and individual performance, withactual payouts based on the extent to whichperformance goals are satisfied. Long TermIncentives Variable compensation component payable inrestricted stock or stock options. Alignment of long term interests ofmanagement and shareholders.Retention of executive talent. Organizational and individual performance, withactual awards based on the extent to which goalsare satisfied. Perquisites andOther PersonalBenefits Fixed compensation component to providebasic competitive benefits. Provide a base level of competitivecompensation for executive talent. Periodic review of benefits provided generallyto all employees. Base Salary Base salary is the fixed component of our named executive officers’ annual cash compensation and is set with the goal of attracting talented executives andadequately compensating and rewarding them for services rendered during the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee reviews our executive officers’ basesalary on an annual basis. The base salaries of each of our executive officers reflect the individual’s level of responsibility and performance. In recommending base salaries of our executiveofficers to the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee also considers changes in duties and responsibilities, our business and financial results, and itsknowledge of base salaries paid to executive officers of our peer group. The base salaries of each of Ms. Duska and Mr. Lawlor were established by our ChiefExecutive Officer after discussions with each employee. None of our named executive officer’s base salaries were increased during the 2015 fiscal year. Annual Bonus Performance-based annual bonuses are based on each named executive officer’s achievement of performance goals. Annual bonuses are intended to provideofficers with an opportunity to receive additional cash compensation based on their individual performance and Company results, including the achievement ofpre-determined Company and/or individual performance goals. Performance-based bonuses are included in the compensation package because they incentivize ournamed executive officers, in any particular year, to pursue particular objectives that are consistent with the overall goals and strategic direction that the Board hasset for the Company for that year. The Committee believes that the annual performance-based bonus reinforces the pay-for-performance nature of our compensation program. Fiscal Year 2015 Short-Term Incentive Plan At the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors adopted the 2015 STI Plan covering Messrs. Herbert and DeMedio. Pursuant tothe 2015 STI Plan, each executive officer would earn a cash bonus in the event that the Company achieved during the 2015 fiscal year certain annual financialgoals (80% weighting) and certain annual specific performance goals relating to the executive officer which were established by the Compensation Committee(20% weighting). The annual financial goals are total revenues (30% weighting), cash generated from operations (30% weighting), and non-GAAP net income(40% weighting). Assuming the minimum threshold target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the amount of the cash bonus to be earned would bedetermined on a pro rata basis, provided that the bonus would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric. 37 The individual performance goals established by the Committee for Mr. Herbert included developing a long-term financial model, implementing a managementreorganization plan to support growth of the Company, and continuing to evolve enterprise risk management. The individual performance goals established by theCommittee for Mr. DeMedio included developing a long-term financial model, securing QuickStart funding sources to support the growth of the Company, andcontinuing to evolve enterprise risk management. The Committee set the cash bonus opportunity for each executive officer as a percentage of his respective annual base salary as set forth in the following table. Named Executive Officer Threshold Performance Target Performance Distinguished Performance Stephen P. Herbert - 40% 80% David M. DeMedio - 25% 50% Below were the threshold, target and distinguished cash bonus award target opportunities for our executive officers: Named Executive Officer Threshold Performance Target Performance Distinguished Performance Stephen P. Herbert $- $136,491 $272,982 David M. DeMedio $- $59,469 $118,938 Mr. Herbert earned a cash bonus of $101,732, representing 29.8% of his base salary, and Mr. DeMedio earned a cash bonus of $31,242 representing 13.1% of hisbase salary, under the 2015 STI Plan. The Committee determined that Mr. Herbert had achieved the individual maximum distinguished performance goalsestablished by the Committee (200%) and Mr. DeMedio had achieved 90% of the individual target performance goals established by the Committee. Based on theactual performance of the Company during the 2015 fiscal year, the minimum threshold performance targets established under the 2015 STI Plan were not met foroperating cash and non-GAAP net income. Revenues for the fiscal year were in excess of the target goal but less than the maximum distinguished target goal. The cash bonuses were paid to the executive officers in September 2015. Other Named Executive Officers’ Cash Bonus For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the cash bonuses earned by Mr. Lawlor and Ms. Duska were based upon the attainment of financial target goals by theCompany relating to connections (35% weighting), revenues (15% weighting), non-GAAP net income (25% weighting), and adjusted EBITDA (25% weighting).Based on the actual performance of the Company during the 2015 fiscal year, the minimum threshold performance targets were not met for non-GAAP net incomeand adjusted EBITDA. Connections for the fiscal year were in excess of the minimum threshold target goal but less than the target goal and revenues were inexcess of the target goal but less than the maximum distinguished target goal. The cash bonuses were paid to the officers in September 2015. Duska Stock Bonus During July 2014, and subsequent to the end of the 2014 fiscal year, Ms. Duska was awarded 24,155 vested shares of common stock as a one-time bonus inrecognition of her performance during the 2014 fiscal year. Although the Compensation Committee considered this bonus to be part of Ms. Duska's fiscal year2014 compensation and is not considered to be part of her compensation for the 2015 fiscal year under this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, this stockaward is reflected as required by applicable disclosure regulations in the fiscal year 2015 compensation tables set forth below. Long-Term Incentive Compensation As described above, the Committee believes that a substantial portion of each executive officer’s compensation should be in the form of long-term incentivecompensation in order to further align the interests of our executive officers and shareholders. Fiscal Year 2015 Long-Term Incentive Performance Share Plan At the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors adopted the 2015 LTI Stock Plan covering Messrs. Herbert and DeMedio. Underthe 2015 LTI Stock Plan, each executive officer would be awarded shares of common stock in the event that certain metrics relating to the Company’s 2015 fiscalyear would result in specified ranges of year-over-year percentage growth. The metrics are total number of connections as of June 30, 2015 as compared to totalnumber of connections as of June 30, 2014 (50% weighting), and adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2015 fiscal year as compared to adjusted EBITDA earnedduring the 2014 fiscal year (50% weighting). The shares awarded under the 2015 LTI Stock Plan would vest as follows: one-third on the date of issuance; one-thirdon the first anniversary of the date of issuance; and one-third on the second anniversary of the date of issuance. At the time of the establishment of the 2015 LTI Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee believed that the attainment of the target goals under the 2015 LTIStock Plan would represent a significant achievement for management, and were designed to stretch the Company’s and management’s performance during thefiscal year. The Committee established target long-term award levels for each executive officer as a percentage of his respective annual base salary as indicated in the table setforth below. Named Executive Officer Threshold Performance Target Performance Distinguished Performance Stephen P. Herbert - 100% 200% David M. DeMedio - 75% 150% 38 The table set forth below lists the value of the shares that would have been awarded to the executive officers under the 2015 LTI Stock Plan if all of the minimumthreshold performance goals had been achieved, if all of the target performance goals had been achieved, and if all of the distinguished performance goals had beenachieved. Assuming the minimum threshold target goal was achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric was required to bedetermined on a pro-rata basis, provided that the award could not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric. Named Executive Officer Threshold Performance Target Performance Distinguished Performance Stephen P. Herbert $- $341,227 $682,454 David M. DeMedio $- $179,653 $359,306 Based on the actual performance of the Company during the 2015 fiscal year, the minimum threshold performance target established under the 2015 LTI StockPlan was not met for adjusted EBITDA. Connections for the fiscal year were in excess of the minimum threshold but less than the target goal. Consequently, thestock award to each executive officer under the 2015 LTI Stock Plan was as follows: Number of Shares Value of Sharesas of June 30, 2015 Stephen P. Herbert 42,678 $115,230 David M. DeMedio 22,314 $60,247 The shares awarded to Mr. Herbert had a value equal to 33.8% of his annual base salary, and the shares awarded to Mr. DeMedio had a value equal to 25.3% of hisannual base salary. The shares were issued (subject to the vesting requirements) to the executive officers in September 2015. Stock Option Awards During August 2014, Mr. Herbert was awarded incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the “Code”), to purchase up to 55,555 shares at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The options vest on September 1, 2015, and expire if not exercised prior toSeptember 1, 2021. Mr. Herbert was also awarded non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 150,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The optionsvest as follows: one-third on September 1, 2015; one-third on September 1, 2016; and one-third on September 1, 2017. The options expire if not exercised prior toSeptember 1, 2021. During August 2014, Mr. DeMedio was awarded incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code to purchase up to 33,333 shares at anexercise price of $1.80 per share. The options vest on September 1, 2015, and expire if not exercised prior to September 1, 2021. Mr. DeMedio was also awardednon-qualified stock options to purchase up to 90,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The options vest as follows: one-third on September 1, 2015;one-third on September 1, 2016; and one-third on September 1, 2017. The options expire if not exercised prior to September 1, 2021. During April 2015, Mr. Lawlor was awarded incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code to purchase up to 25,000 shares at anexercise price of $2.75 per share. The options vest as follows: one-third on April 8, 2016; one-third on April 8, 2017; and one-third on April 8, 2018. The optionsexpire if not exercised prior to April 8, 2022. During January 2015, Ms. Duska was awarded incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code to purchase up to 25,000 shares at anexercise price of $1.62 per share. The options vest as follows: one-third on January 2, 2016; one-third on January 2, 2017; and one-third on January 2, 2018. Theoptions expire if not exercised prior to January 2, 2022. Perquisites and Other Benefits Our named executive officers were entitled to the health care coverage, group insurance and other employee benefits provided to all of our other employees. Post-Termination Compensation As set forth in his employment agreement, upon the termination of Mr. Herbert’s employment under certain circumstances, including termination by the Companywithout cause or by a notice of non-renewal of the employment agreement, or under certain circumstances following a change of control of the Company, theCompany has agreed to pay Mr. Herbert a lump sum amount equal to two times his annual base salary and all restricted stock awards or stock options wouldbecome vested as of the date of termination. As set forth in his employment agreement, upon the termination of Mr. DeMedio’s employment under certain circumstances, including termination by theCompany without cause or by a notice of non-renewal of the employment agreement, or under certain circumstances following a change of control of theCompany, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. DeMedio a lump sum amount equal to one times his annual base salary and all restricted stock awards or stockoptions would become vested as of the date of termination. We believe that these provisions are an important component of each executive’s employment arrangement and will help to secure the continued employment anddedication of our executive officers, notwithstanding any concern that they might have at such time regarding their own continued employment, prior to orfollowing a change of control. The Committee notes that there would be no payments to our executive officers upon a change of control without a “double trigger”. Payments under ouremployment agreements require two events for vesting – both the change of control and a “good reason” for termination of employment. Additional information regarding what would have been received by our executive officers had termination occurred on June 30, 2015 is found under the heading“Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control” on page 43 of this Form 10-K. 39 Stock Ownership Policy We believe that providing our executive officers who have responsibility for the Company’s management and growth with an opportunity to increase theirownership of Company shares aligns the interests of the executive officers with those of the shareholders. Our Stock Ownership Guidelines provide that the ChiefExecutive Officer should own shares with a value of at least three times his annual base salary, and the Chief Financial Officer should own shares with a value of atleast one times his annual base salary. Each executive officer has until April 2016 to comply with the policy. Our Stock Ownership Guidelines provide that each non-employee director should own shares of common stock with a value of at least five times his or her annualcash retainer. For this purpose, the annual retainer shall include the annual retainer for service on the Board as well as the annual retainer for serving on one (butnot more than one) Committee of the Board for a total share value of at least $150,000. Each director has until June 30, 2016 to comply with the stock ownershiprequirements, and future directors would have five years to comply. For purposes of these guidelines, “shares” include shares owned by the executive officer or director or by such person’s immediate family members residing in thesame household and include non-vested restricted stock awards held by the executive officer or non-employee director. Effect Of 2015 Say-On-Pay Vote At the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, over 88% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers were in favor ofthe Company’s executive compensation disclosed in the proxy statement. The Compensation Committee considered the vote, and even though the results conveystrong shareholder support for the Company’s executive compensation programs and the Compensation Committee’s decisions, the Committee determined that itwas in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to continue to evaluate our executive compensation programs and, if appropriate, to strengthen certainaspects of these programs. Impact of Taxation and Accounting Considerations on Executive Compensation The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors take into account tax and accounting consequences of the compensation program and weigh these factorswhen setting total compensation and determining the individual elements of any named executive officer’s compensation package. The stock and option awards to our named executive officers under our equity incentive plans provide that the officer is responsible for any withholding or payrolltax obligations incurred by the Company in connection with the award, and that the officer may satisfy any such obligations by, among other things, either thedelivery to the Company of a cash payment equal to the obligations, or the assignment or transfer to the Company of shares having a value equal to the obligations,or such other method that shall be satisfactory to the Company.

To the extent required by the Payment Brand(s), TP3 must be registered, andmaintain such registration, as a third party service provider with such Payment Brand(s). With respect to all Merchants, TP3 agrees to provide to Paymentech thedata described on Schedules B hereto, and such other information as Paymentech may reasonably request from time to time to enable it to track and evaluate theProgram’s success and to meet Paymentech’s compliance and reporting obligations to the Payment Brands, in such a timeframe as required on Schedule B . TP3shall assume full financial liability, and be fully liable to Paymentech, for Transactions submitted on behalf of Merchants, as well as for any disputed Transactions,credits, or customer service-related expenses, Chargebacks, or fraud.

Page 4 of 35 1.8 Commercial Entities. TP3 agrees and understands that the Payment Brand Rules require that, in addition to any contract between Merchant and TP3,Paymentech must enter into a written agreement with each Merchant having Visa annual sales greater than $100,000 or MasterCard annual sales greater than$1,000,000 (a “Commercial Entity”) and that such requirements shall be included in either a separate agreement or in the TP3 Merchant Processing Agreement.TP3 shall promptly notify Paymentech of any Merchant which it has reason to believe may be or is likely to become a Commercial Entity, but such requirementshall not affect TP3’s obligation to enter into an agreement with a Merchant as required by Section 1.5. At any time and from time to time, Paymentech shall beentitled to designate any Merchant as a Commercial Entity which Paymentech reasonably believes will meet the criteria outlined above, and to require, eitherdirectly or through TP3, such Merchant to execute an agreement with Paymentech in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Schedule C , withsuch changes as the Payment Brands may require from time to time. With respect to each Merchant entity that Paymentech designates as a Commercial Entity, TP3shall collect and forward all information requested by Paymentech to comply with Paymentech’s or Member’s legal or compliance obligations, Payment BrandRules as well as Paymentech’s or Member’s then current policies, including, without limitation, its credit policies. Exercise of any right by Paymentech against anyMerchant or TP3 shall not preclude Paymentech, in its sole discretion, from enforcing its right against, or recovery fromTP3.. Any Merchant having annualMasterCard sales greater than $1,000,000 must receive settlement funds directly from Paymentech as required by current Payment Brand Rules. TP3 will assistPaymentech in obtaining appropriate documentation pertaining to the settlement account from such Merchants. 2. AUTHORIzATIONS. 2.1 Obtaining Authorizations. TP3 is required to obtain authorization/approval codes through Paymentech, in accordance with this Agreement, for allTransactions. TP3 acknowledges for itself and on behalf of the Merchants that an authorization/approval code of a Transaction indicates only (i) that the PaymentInstrument contains a valid account number; and (ii) that the Customer’s Payment Instrument has an available credit balance sufficient for the amount of theTransaction at the time the authorization is given, but does not constitute a representation from Paymentech, Member, a Payment Brand, or a card issuing bank thata particular Transaction is a valid or undisputed transaction entered into by the actual Customer. 2.2 Lack of Authorization. Paymentech reserves the right to refuse to process any Transaction Record submitted by TP3 (i) unless a proper authorization/approvalcode is recorded, (ii) that Paymentech reasonably determines is or may become uncollectible from the Customer to which the Transaction would otherwise becharged, or (iii) that was prepared in violation of any provision of this Agreement or the Payment Brand Rules. 3. REFUNDS AND ADJUSTMENTS. 3.1 Disclosure of Refund Policy. TP3 is required to ensure that TP3 and all Merchants each maintain a fair policy with regard to the refund, return, or cancellationof merchandise or services and adjustments of Transactions. TP3 is also required to ensure that TP3 and each Merchant discloses its refund, return, or cancellationpolicy to Paymentech and to Customers. 3.2 Changes to Policy. Any change in a refund, return, or cancellation policy must be submitted to us, in writing, not less than fourteen (14) days prior to theeffective date of such change. Paymentech reserves the right to refuse to process any Transaction Record made subject to a revised refund, return, or cancellationpolicy of which Paymentech has not been notified in advance. 3.3 Procedure for Refunds/Adjustments. If TP3 or the Merchants allow a price adjustment, return of merchandise, or cancellation of services in connection witha Settled or Conveyed Transaction, TP3 will prepare and deliver to us a Transaction Record reflecting such refund/adjustment within three (3) days of receiving therequest for such refund/adjustment. The amount of the refund/adjustment cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original Transaction Record exceptby the exact amount required to reimburse the Customer for postage that the Customer paid to return merchandise. TP3 is not allowed to accept cash or any otherpayment or consideration from a Customer in return for preparing a refund to be deposited to the Customer’s account; nor may cash refunds be given to aCustomer in connection with a Settled or Conveyed Transaction, unless permitted or required by law. 4. SETTLEMENT. 4.1 Submission of Transaction Record. TP3 is required to submit the Transaction Record no later than the next business day immediately following the day thatsuch Transaction Record is originated. Failure to do so can result in higher interchange fees and other costs and increased Chargebacks. For debit card transactionsthat are credits to a Customer’s account, TP3 agrees to submit such Transaction Record within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the authorization for such credit.Unless otherwise indicated on Schedule A , TP3 will be solely responsible for all communication expenses required to facilitate the submission and transmissionof all Transaction Records to Paymentech. Page 5 of 35 4.2 TP3’s Bank Account(s). Unless it has been agreed to by the parties that Paymentech will directly fund a Commercial Entity for its respective Transactionsettlement funds, TP3 must maintain (a) one or more “for the benefit of” (FBO) accounts designated to receive funds related to the settlement of all CommercialEntities’ Transactions; and (b) one or more FBO accounts designated to receive funds related to the settlement of all other Merchants’ Transactions. All FBOaccounts must be compliant with all applicable laws pertaining to such accounts, held at a bank that is a member of the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”)system or the Federal Reserve wire system, and established in accordance with Schedule D attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. TP3 must not,under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), account for funds in the FBO accounts as their own funds. Furthermore, TP3 must designate at least onebank account for the debit of any fees and costs associated with Paymentech’s processing of the Transactions or for other obligations and liabilities of TP3 or theMerchants under this Agreement. All FBO and bank accounts designated by TP3 pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be collectively referred to herein as “SettlementAccount ”. During the term of this Agreement, and thereafter until we notify TP3 that all monies due from TP3 and all Merchants under this Agreement have beenpaid in full, TP3 agrees not to close the Settlement Account without giving Paymentech at least five (5) days’ prior written notice and substituting anotherSettlement Account. TP3 is solely liable for all fees and costs associated with the Settlement Account and for all overdrafts. TP3 authorizes Paymentech to initiateelectronic credit and debit entries and adjustments to the Settlement Account or applicable bank account at any time without regard to the source of any moniestherein. Paymentech will not be liable for any delays in receipt of funds or errors in Settlement Account entries caused by third parties, including, but not limitedto, delays or errors by the Payment Brands or TP3’s bank. 4.3 Conveyed Transactions. To the extent that TP3 submits any Conveyed Transactions for processing by Paymentech and TP3 or the Merchant does not have avalid agreement in effect with the applicable Payment Brand, TP3 hereby authorizes Paymentech, at Paymentech’s option, to submit such Transactions to theapplicable Payment Brand, and to share with the applicable Payment Brand such information from the Application, or otherwise provided to Paymentech by TP3or Merchant, as may be required in order to approve acceptance of such Payment Instrument as method(s) of payment. Subject to such approval, TP3 agrees to theapplicable Payment Brand’s standard terms and conditions with respect to such method(s) of payment. Upon the transmission of such Conveyed Transactions toPaymentech, the Conveyed Transaction will be forwarded to the appropriate Payment Brand. Payment of the proceeds due for such Conveyed Transaction will begoverned by the agreement with that Payment Brand, and Paymentech bears no responsibility for performance of such agreement. Even if a valid authorization fora Conveyed Transaction is obtained, Paymentech is not liable for errors in Settlement Account entries relating to the funding of those Conveyed Transactions,including delays caused by TP3, Merchant, third parties, the Payment Brands, or TP3‘s or Merchant’s bank. 4.4 Transfer of Settlement Funds. For all Settled Transactions, Paymentech will process the Transaction Records to facilitate the funds transfer between thevarious Payment Brands, TP3, and Merchant. Promptly after receiving credit for such Transaction Record, Paymentech will provide provisional credit to theSettlement Account for the proceeds. The proceeds payable shall be equal to the amounts received by Paymentech in connection with the Transaction Record lessthe sum of the following: (i) all fees, imposed by Paymentech or any third parties passed through to TP3, charges, and discounts set forth in Schedule A ; (ii) allChargebacks; (iii) all equipment charges (if any); (iv) all Customer refunds, returns, and adjustments; and (v) all Reserve Account amounts; (vi) any fundsPaymentech may pay directly to a Merchant if direct funding is required by the Payment Brand Rules; and (vii) any fees, charges, fines, assessments, penalties, orother liabilities that may be imposed on Paymentech or the Member from time to time by the Payment Brands and all related costs and expenses incurred byPaymentech pursuant to this Agreement. Paymentech also reserves the right to withhold or offset from the proceeds owed to TP3 or any Merchant by Paymentechany or all amounts owed by TP3 or a Merchant to Paymentech or its affiliates under any other agreement between you and Paymentech. TP3 agrees that amountsset forth above, and any other amounts are due and payable by TP3 at the time the related services are rendered and may be imposed on a daily basis if Paymentechso determines; that all Reserve Account amounts due from TP3 hereunder are payable upon establishment; and that the related Chargebacks, Customer refunds andadjustments, fees, charges, fines, assessments, penalties, and all other liabilities are due and payable when Paymentech receives notice thereof from the PaymentBrands or any third party, or otherwise pursuant to this Section 4.4. In the event Paymentech does not deduct such amounts from the proceeds payable, TP3 agreesto pay all such amounts immediately without any deduction or offsets. Alternatively, at Paymentech’s sole option, Paymentech may debit the Settlement Accountor the Reserve Account for such amounts at any time. Without limiting the foregoing or Paymentech’s rights under Section 7.2 or Section 10, if a Payment Brandnotifies Paymentech or the Member that it or they intend to impose any fine, fee, or penalty as a result of excessive Chargebacks or TP3’s acts or omissions(including, without limitation, failure to fully comply with any Payment Brand Rules), Paymentech may suspend the processing of the Transactions upon at least10 days prior notice. Page 6 of 35 4.5 Negative Balances. To the extent the proceeds from Settled Transactions do not represent sufficient credits or the Settlement Account does not have asufficient balance to pay amounts due under this Agreement (in connection with either TP3’s or Merchant’s Transactions), in addition to any other rights andremedies Paymentech may have under this Agreement (including termination), Paymentech may pursue one or more of the following options: (i) demand andreceive immediate payment for such amounts from TP3; (ii) debit the Settlement Account or Reserve Account for the amount of the negative balance; (iii)withhold or offset any or all settlement payments until all amounts are paid; (iv) delay presentation of refunds ; and (v) pursue any other remedies available at lawor in equity. Furthermore, if the amount represented by Transaction Records in any day is negative due to refunds or credits being submitted in excess of theproceeds from the Transactions, TP3 shall provide sufficient funds prior to the submission of the Transaction Records to prevent the occurrence of a negativebalance. 4.6 Reserve Account. If: (i) there is a material, adverse change in TP3’s or a Merchant’s financial condition; (ii) TP3 or Merchant is in material default of thisAgreement; (iii) TP3 or Merchant changes its billing practice in relation to the provision or shipment of merchandise or fulfillment of service or changes refundprocedures currently in place, and fails to notify Paymentech in advance; (iv) TP3 or Merchant is receiving excessive Chargebacks (as defined in Section 7.2below); (v) TP3 or Merchant significantly alters the nature of its business or product lines; or (vi) Paymentech has reasonable grounds to believe that it may be orbecome liable to third parties for the provisional credit extended to TP3 or Merchant or that TP3 or Merchant may be liable to Customers, Payment Instrumentissuing banks, or the Payment Brands, or (vii) Paymentech has reasonable grounds to believe that it may be subject to any additional liabilities, including, withoutlimitation, any fines, fees, or penalties assessed by any of the Payment Brands, arising out of or relating to Transactions, the Program, Chargebacks, a Merchant orTP3’s failure to comply with this Agreement, any of the Payment Brand Rules, or the Security Standards (as defined in Section 17), Paymentech may suspend ordelay payments during investigation of the issue and/or designate an amount of funds Paymentech must maintain in order to protect it against the risk of, amongother things, existing, potential, or anticipated Chargebacks and to satisfy the other obligations under this Agreement (such funds being hereinafter referred to asthe “Reserve Account”), which may be funded in the same manner as provided for negative balances in Section 4.5. The Reserve Account will contain sufficientfunds to cover any unbilled processing costs plus our estimated exposure based on reasonable criteria for Chargebacks, returns, unshipped merchandise and/orunfulfilled services, and all additional liabilities anticipated under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Chargebacks, fines, fees, and penalties as set forthin Section 4.4. Paymentech may (but is not required to) apply funds in the Reserve Account toward, and set off any funds that would otherwise be payable against,the satisfaction of any amounts which are or may become due from TP3 or a Merchant pursuant to this Agreement. The Reserve Account will be held andcontrolled by Paymentech and TP3 will have no legal right or interest in the funds in the Reserve Account; provided, however, that upon satisfaction of all ofobligations under this Agreement, Paymentech will pay to TP3 any funds then remaining in the Reserve Account. Any funds in the Reserve Account may becommingled with other funds, and need not be maintained in a separate account, but will be tracked and accounted for separately by Paymentech. Effective uponestablishment of a Reserve Account, TP3 irrevocably grants to Paymentech a security interest in any interest TP3 has now or may later acquire in any and allfunds, together with the proceeds thereof, that may at any time be in the Reserve Account and that would otherwise be payable to TP3 pursuant to the terms of thisAgreement. TP3 agrees and agrees to cause Merchant to execute and deliver to Paymentech such instruments and documents (including, without limitation,security agreements and releases) that Paymentech may reasonably request to perfect and confirm the security interest in the Reserve Account. 5. ACCOUNTING . Paymentech will supply a detailed statement reflecting the activity for TP3’s account(s) by online-access (or otherwise if agreed to by bothparties). Paymentech will not be responsible for any error that TP3 does not bring to Paymentech’s attention within one hundred and eighty (180) days from thedate of such statement. TP3, for itself and on behalf of Merchant, acknowledges and agrees that it is TP3’s and the Merchants’ respective responsibility to ensureits secure online access. Page 7 of 35 6. RETRIEVAL REQUESTS. 6.1 Records . TP3 agrees to store and retain each Transaction Record in compliance with the Payment Brand Rules. 6.2 Response to Retrieval Requests. Paymentech will send TP3 any Retrieval Request that it cannot satisfy with the information it has on file concerning anySettled Transaction. In response, TP3 must provide, in writing by certified or overnight mail or by confirmed fax (or by other means as agreed to by Paymentech),the resolution of the investigation of such Retrieval Request and include legible copies of any documentation required by the Retrieval Request within seven (7)days after it is sent (or such shorter time as the Payment Brand Rules may require). TP3 acknowledges that failure to timely fulfill a Retrieval Request and inaccordance with Payment Brand Rules may result in an irreversible Chargeback. 7. CHARGEBACKS. 7.1 Chargeback Reasons. TP3 or Merchant may receive a Chargeback from a Customer or Payment Brand for a number of reasons under the Payment BrandRules. The following are some of the most common reasons for Chargebacks; in no way is this intended to be an exhaustive list of possible Chargeback reasons: (1) Failure to issue a refund to a Customer upon the return of or failure to provide the applicable goods or services. (2) A required authorization/approval code was not obtained. (3) The Transaction Record was prepared incorrectly or fraudulently. (4) TP3 did not respond to a Retrieval Request within 7 days or any shorter time period required by the Payment Brand Rules. (5) The Customer disputes the Transaction or the authenticity of the signature on the Transaction Record or Payment Instrument, or claims that the Transaction issubject to a set-off, defense, or counterclaim. (6) The Customer refuses to make payment for a Transaction because in the Customer’s good faith opinion, a claim or complaint has not been resolved, or hasbeen resolved in an unsatisfactory manner. (7) The credit or debit card comprising the Payment Instrument was not actually presented at the time of the Transaction or an electronic record or physicalimprint of such Payment Instrument was not obtained, and the Customer denies making the purchase. The TP3 acknowledges, for itself and on behalf of Merchant,that, under these circumstances, the fact that an authorization/approval code was obtained does not mean that a particular Transaction is a valid or undisputedtransaction entered into by the actual Customer. 7.2 Excessive Chargebacks. If TP3 or Merchant are receiving an excessive amount of Chargebacks, as determined by the Payment Brands from time to time, inaddition to other remedies under this Agreement, Paymentech may take the following actions: (i) review TP3’s or Merchant’s internal procedures relating toacceptance of Payment Instruments and notify TP3 or Merchant of new procedures which should be adopted to avoid future Chargebacks; (ii) collect from TP3(pursuant to Section 4.6) an amount determined by us to be sufficient to cover anticipated Chargebacks and all related fees, penalties, expenses, and fines; (iii)terminate this Agreement or the agreement between Paymentech and Merchant; or (iv) refuse to process for Merchant’s Transactions . TP3 also agrees to pay anyand all penalties, fees, fines and costs assessed against TP3, A Merchant, Paymentech, and/or Member relating to TP3’s or a Merchant’s violation of thisAgreement, a Commercial Entity Agreement or the Payment Brand Rules with respect to the acceptance of Payment Instruments, Transactions, or ExcessiveChargebacks under this Section. 7.3 Claims of Customers. TP3 agrees that it will have full liability to Paymentech for all Chargebacks, regardless of whether TP3 receives payment orreimbursement from the Merchants therefore, and TP3 acknowledges that the funds provided to TP3 by Paymentech with respect to any Transaction represent onlya provisional credit, and remain subject to potential Chargebacks. To the extent Paymentech has paid or may be called upon to pay a Chargeback, refund, oradjustment for or on the account of a Customer and TP3 does not immediately reimburse Paymentech as provided in this Agreement, then for the purpose ofobtaining reimbursement of such sums paid or anticipated to be paid, Paymentech shall have all of the rights and remedies of such Customer under applicablefederal, state, or local laws and TP3 (for itself and on behalf of the Merchants) authorizes Paymentech to assert any and all such claims in Paymentech’s own namefor and on behalf of any such Customer individually or all such Customers as a class. Page 8 of 35 8. DISPLAY OF PAYMENT BRAND MARKS . TP3 is prohibited from using the Payment Brand Marks, as defined below, other than as expressly authorized bythe Payment Brands or the Payment Brand Rules. TP3 shall also ensure that Merchant’s use of the Payment Brand Marks shall only be as authorized and inaccordance with all requirements of this Section and the Payment Brand Rules. Payment Brand Marks or Marks mean the brands, emblems, trademarks, and logosthat identify a Payment Brand. Additionally, and except as authorized by the Payment Brands, TP3 shall not use the Payment Brand Marks other than to displaydecals, signage, advertising, and other forms depicting the Payment Brand Marks that are provided to TP3 (i) by the Payment Brands; (ii) by Paymentech pursuantto this Agreement; or (iii) as otherwise approved in writing by Paymentech. TP3 may use the Payment Brand Marks only to promote the services covered by thePayment Brand Marks by using them on decals, indoor and outdoor signs, advertising materials, and marketing materials; provided, that all such uses must beconsistent with Payment Brand Rules.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in Schedule A , pricing is based on all Transactions qualifying underthe Payment Brand Rules for the lowest Payment Brand interchange rates. For Transactions that do not qualify for the best rate, the Payment Brands may dictatethat the Transaction is subject to a “downgrade”, which will result in TP3 being charged a higher rate than the qualified rate shown on Schedule A . Fees payableunder this Agreement that contain a fraction of a cent will be rounded up to the next full cent. 9.2 Price Changes .(a) Paymentech may modify the pricing on Schedule A upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to TP3. If TP3 does not agree with the new pricing, TP3may terminate this Agreement upon 120 days’ notice to Paymentech.(b) In addition, Paymentech may change its fees, charges, and discounts resulting from (i) changes in Payment Brand fees (such as interchange, assessments,and other charges); (ii) changes in pricing by any third party provider of a product or service used by TP3 or a Merchant; or (iii) fees which are added by aPayment Brand or card issuer. Such new prices will be applicable as of the effective date established by the Payment Brand or third party provider. For clarity, anyprice changes made pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) shall not give rise to a termination right by TP3. 10. TERMINATION . 10.1 Term.
