NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(A Development Stage Corporation)
1. Business
USA Technologies, Inc. a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was
incorporated on January 16, 1992. In May 1995, the Company changed it's name
from USA Entertainment Center, Inc, to USA Technologies, Inc. to more accurately
reflect its business. Substantially all of the Company's activities to date have
been devoted to raising capital, developing markets, and starting up operations
which commenced during July 1994. The Company intends to become the leading
owner and licenser of credit card activated control systems for the vending,
copying, debit card, and personal computer industries. The Company's products
make available credit card payment technology in connection with the sale of a
variety of products and services.
The Company generally retains fifteen to thirty percent of the gross
revenues in connection with the control systems. To date the total gross
revenues received by the Company from these systems has been nominal.
2. Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information
The financial statements and disclosures included herein for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and for the date of inception
through March 31, 1996 are unaudited. These financial statements and disclosures
have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and reflect all adjustments consisting of adjustments of a
normal and recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and the results of
it's operations and cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
Licensing revenues are recognized upon the usage of the Company's
credit card activated control systems.
Loss per Common Share
Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the periods. No exercise of stock options, purchase
rights, purchase warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock and cumulative
preferred dividends was assumed because the exercise of these securities would
be antidilutive. The 4,365,000 common shares held in escrow (Note 5) are not
considered outstanding for purposes of calculating the loss per common share for
all periods presented.

At the request of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, all of the
executive officers and directors of the Company serving at the commencement of
the initial public offering of the Company agreed to place in escrow 10,700,000
shares of Common Stock (subsequently amended to 8,395,000 by the cancellation of
2,305,000 shares by the President of the Company during June 1995 and February
1996) beneficially owned by them until December 29, 1996. Under certain
circumstances as outlined by the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, the
President's shares may be held in escrow for an additional period of time, but
not later than June 30, 1998. Any additional shares of Common Stock acquired by
the executive officers and directors will also be held in escrow. The executive
officers and directors have agreed not to sell, pledge, or transfer, directly or
indirectly, any of the Common Stock held in escrow or any options to acquire
stock they may own. Additionally, the President of the Company has agreed that
4,365,000 shares of his escrowed Common shares would be canceled by the Company
and would no longer be issued and outstanding unless certain performance
measures as specified by the Commission are achieved. If the performance
measures are achieved, the common shares released from escrow will result in a
compensatory charge to the Company's operations. The charge will be based on the
fair value of the Company's common shares on the date the shares are released
from escrow. During the nine months ended March 31, 1996, there was no such
charge to operations. The 4,365,000 shares are not considered outstanding for
purpose of calculating the loss per common share for all periods presented.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation
and Financial Condition.
Introduction
Since its inception in January 1992, the Company, a development stage
corporation, has been engaged almost exclusively in research and development
activities focused on designing, developing, and marketing its credit card
activated control systems. From inception through March 31, 1996, the Company
has had nominal operating revenues and has generated funds primarily through the
sale of its securities. As of March 31, 1996 the Company has received, net of
expenses of such sales, the amount of $3,180,226 in connection with private
placements and $2,345,104 in connection with its initial public offering. The
Company has incurred operating losses since its inception resulting in an
accumulated deficit of $6,499,230 at March 31, 1996 and such losses are expected
to continue into fiscal 1997.
Results of Operations
The fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1996 resulted in a net operating
loss of $627,376 or $.07 loss per Common Share. This contrasts to a net loss of
$299,546 or $.05 loss per Common Share for the comparable fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 1995. A significant portion of this increased loss is due to a
$183,000 charge to expense to reflect the issuance of 300,000 shares of Common
Stock, at market value, to an outside consultant for services performed. On an
overall basis these continuing losses reflect the development stage nature of
the Company. Losses are projected to continue until sufficient revenue is
generated from various applications of the Company's proprietary technology.
Revenue from operations was $13,419, compared to $2,036 from the
previous year's fiscal quarter and remains level with the immediately preceding
quarter ended December 31, 1995. Despite this modest increase, revenue is still
well below the level required to be profitable.
Expenses for the period were $646,004 which represents an increase over
the prior year of $343,146 or 113%, and is due primarily to the charge noted
above for consulting services.
Compensation increased by $30,280 or 18% over the prior year which is
attributable to increased staffing primarily in the marketing function as the
Company prepares for the introduction of its credit card activated personal
computer. General and administration expenses also increased by $291,674 or
250%. The major contributors to this sharp increase were Professional Fees -
$30,707 and Travel Expense - $27,238. Research and Development expense was also
up by $29,709 due to the increased number and pace of application projects.
8
<PAGE>
For the nine month period ended March 31, 1996, the net operating loss
was $1,696,410 compared to last years quarter of $1,005,654, representing a 68%
increase and reflecting the accelerated level of operations. Revenue from
operations of $61,565 for the period compared to last years $2,829, while a
significant increase, remains well below breakeven requirements. Compensation
increased 30% and general and administrative was up 159% while interest expense
was favorably impacted by the elimination of the interest paid the previous
period to investors in the Company's initial public offering.
Plan of Operations
As of March 31, 1996 the Company's installation base consisted of the
following; Credit Card Copy ExpressTM 82, Credit Card Debit ExpressTM 19, Credit
Card Printer ExpressTM 14, Credit Card Vending ExpressTM 11, and the Credit Card
Computer ExpressTM 9, for a total of 135 control system units. It is the
Company's intention to increase the number of installed units as quickly as
possible.
During the current quarter, the company's newest product was launched,
the Credit Card Computer Express, or C3X. This product enables locations such as
libraries, hotels, convention centers and retailers to offer state of the art
computer technology and the capacity to charge for these services via credit
card. The company has entered into a dealer relationship with a major computer
manufacturer who will supply all required equipment configured to the Company's
specifications. Technical and leasing support has also been arranged.
In spite of the de-emphasis of the Golfers Oasis'TM product line, the
control technology developed has very broad application to the vending industry.
It is the Company's intention to pursue these applications under the Credit Card
Vending ExpressTM. trademark and attempt to broaden the current client
relationships with merchandisers who would dispense apparel and other higher
priced items such as paperback books, sunglasses, etc. via vending machines
utilizing the Company's control system.
The Company is also currently developing a "mini business center" which
will be completely credit card activated and will provide computer, copier and
facsimile services. It is the Company's intention to market this product line to
the hospitality industry and to "quick print" retail locations.
Additionally the Company has commenced development of an application of
its proprietary technology to the coin operated laundry industry. The prototype
is currently scheduled for completion in May 1996. This device would permit
consumers to utilize their credit cards in connection with laundry washing
machines and dryers.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 31, 1995 the Company completed a private offering on a fully
subscribed basis. A total of 170 units were sold at $10,000 per unit, each
consisting of 1000 shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 30,000
shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $.50 per share, This offering
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $1,647,567 ($1,700,000 less expenses
of $52,433). As of March 31, 1996, the Company's total cash balance was
$414,551. The Company anticipates that such cash would be utilized for selling,
general and administrative expense as well as capital investment and related
costs of installation.
On May 1, 1996, the Company initiated a private offering of Securities,
under which a total of 120 units will be sold at $10,000 per unit. Each unit
consists of 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 40,000
shares of Common Stock at $.50 per share. As of May 10, 1996 the Company had
sold and collected $1,209,000 of the offering and anticipates that it will be
closed at a total of $1.3 million.
Management believes that the existing cash balance noted above together
with the proceeds of the offering will enable the Company to be sufficiently
capitalized to execute the operating plan outlined above, and will not require
additional funding through June 30, 1997.
During the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 net cash of
$1,323,607 was used by operating activities (principally compensation and
general and administrative expenses). Net investing activities of $394,511 were
principally due to the purchase of property and equipment of $445,911, net of
proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $51,000. The net cash
provided by financing activities of $1,756,478 was principally due to the net
proceeds generated from the issuance of Common and Preferred stock of
$1,763,585.
