PROSPECTUS
USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
COMMON STOCK
This Prospectus relates to up to 5,100,000 shares of Common Stock, no
par value (the "Common Stock"), of USA Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") which
may be sold from time to time by the shareholders of the Company (the "Selling
Shareholders") who purchased 1995 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "1995
Warrants") from the Company. The 1995 Warrants were issued pursuant to a warrant
agreement dated as of June 21, 1995, by and between the Company and American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the warrant agent (the "1995 Warrant
Agreement").
The Common Stock which may be sold by the Selling Shareholders pursuant
to this Prospectus will be purchased from the Company by the Selling
Shareholders pursuant to the exercise of the 1995 Warrants. The Company issued
5,100,000 1995 Warrants to the Selling Shareholders in June and July 1995
pursuant to the 1995 Warrant Agreement in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
and applicable state securities law. Each 1995 Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $.50 at any time through
January 31, 2001. The exercise price of the 1995 Warrants may be reduced by the
Company at any time, or from time to time. As more fully discussed below, to
date 3,686,000 1995 Warrants have been exercised at a reduced price. The 1995
Warrants are exercisable at any time through January 31, 2001, or such later
date as the Company may determine. The Company agreed, at its cost and expense,
to register under the Act the Common Stock underlying the 1995 Warrants for
resale by the Selling Shareholders, and to register or qualify such Common Stock
for resale under applicable state securities laws. See "Description of
Securities - 1995 Common Stock Purchase Warrants." The Common Stock may be sold
from time to time by the Selling Shareholders named herein pursuant to this
Prospectus. See "Selling Shareholders".
As a condition to obtaining the Common Stock being offered hereby, the
Selling Shareholders must exercise the 1995 Warrants by tendering the per share
exercise price required under the 1995 Warrant Agreement. Through June 30, 1996,
the 1995 Warrants were exercised for a total of 3,686,000 shares of Common Stock
which generated gross proceeds to the Company of $1,105,800. All of such 1995
Warrants were exercised at $.30 per share of Common Stock. If all of the
remaining 1,414,000 1995 Warrants are exercised at $.30 per share, the Company
would receive gross proceeds of $424,200. If the 1995 Warrants are exercised at
a price less than $.30, the gross proceeds received by the Company would be
reduced. There is no assurance that any or all of the remaining 1995 Warrants
will be exercised by the Selling Shareholders, and if none of the 1995 Warrants
are exercised, the Company would not receive any gross proceeds. The Company is
responsible for all of the costs and expenses incident to the offer and sale of
the Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus other
than any brokerage fees or commissions incurred by the Selling Shareholders
<PAGE>
in connection therewith.
The Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this
Prospectus may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders. The sale
of the Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling Shareholders may be effected
in one or more transactions that may take place on the over-the-counter market,
including ordinary brokers' transactions, privately negotiated transactions or
through sales to one or more dealers for resale of such securities as
principals. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or
commissions may be paid by the Selling Shareholders.
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders will receive
all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock and will pay all
selling commissions, if any, applicable to the sale of the Common Stock.
See "Risk Factors" on page 3 of this Prospectus for a discussion of
certain factors that should be considered by prospective investors in the Common
Stock offered hereby.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED
UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following information does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by and should be read in conjunction with the more
detailed information and Financial Statements, including the notes thereto,
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Prospective investors should consider
carefully the factors discussed below under "Risk Factors".
The Company
USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was
founded in January 1992. The Company is in the development stage and intends to
become the leading owner and licensor of unattended, credit card activated
control systems for the vending, copying, debit card and personal computer
industries. The Company's devices make available credit card payment technology
in connection with the sale of a variety of products and services. The Company
anticipates generating its revenues primarily from retaining a portion of the
revenues generated from all credit card transactions conducted through its
devices.
The Company has developed a credit card activated control system for
vending machines known as the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM, a credit card
activated control system to be utilized with photocopying machines and computer
printers known as the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, and a credit card activated
control system to be utilized with debit card purchase/revalue stations known as
the Credit Card Debit ExpressTM. The devices allow consumers to use credit cards
to pay for these products and services.
The Company has also developed the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM which
is an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in connection
with general use of a personal computer, as well as for the use of on-line
services, including the Internet, and for the use of a laser printer. This
product enables locations such as public libraries to offer the use of personal
computers to the public on an "as needed" basis utilizing credit cards as a
method of payment. The Company has entered into a strategic alliance with Dell
Computer Corporation in connection with the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM. See
"Business - Credit Card Computer ExpressTM."
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had installed at commercial locations
a total of 130 devices and revenues have been nominal. See "Business". As of
September 30, 1996, the Company had installed at commercial locations a total of
138 devices and revenues have been nominal. Substantially all of these customers
are university libraries or public libraries.
The Company's executive offices are located at 200 Plant Avenue, Wayne,
Pennsylvania 19087, and its telephone number is (610) 989-0340.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company anticipates that for the three months ended September 30,
1996, it will incur an operating loss of approximately $670,000 (unaudited).
During such three month period, the Company generated nominal operating
revenues.
In July 1996, the Company issued to an employee options to acquire up
to 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $.65 per share, and in August 1996, granted
to a consultant options to acquire up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock at $.50
per share.
In August 1996, the Company authorized the issuance of 265,000 shares
of Common Stock to two consultants. The Company has registered these shares
under the Act and such shares are freely tradeable thereunder. In September
1996, the Company granted to an employee options to purchase up to 50,000 shares
of Common Stock at $.45 per share. In November 1996, the Company granted to an
employee options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock at $.65 per
share and to a consultant options to purchase up to 50,000 share of Common Stock
at $.50 per share.
All stock options are granted at an exercise price determined by the
Board of Directors to be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of the grant.
RISK FACTORS
The securities described herein are speculative and involve a high
degree of risk. Each prospective investor in the Common Stock should carefully
consider the following risk factors inherent in and affecting the business of
the Company and the Common Stock before investing in the Common Stock.
1. Development Stage Company; Limited Operating History; Significant
Cumulative Operating Losses; Auditor Report Modification for Going Concern.
Since its founding in January 1992, the Company has been in the development
stage and has been engaged almost exclusively in research and development
activities focused on designing, developing, and marketing its credit card
activated control systems. From inception through June 30, 1996 the Company has
generated funds primarily through the sales of its securities. The auditor's
report includes a modification that indicates that the Company's existence may
be dependent on its ability to continue to raise capital and generate sufficient
revenue from operations. See "Financial Statements." The Company installed its
first product, the Golfer's OasisTM in June 1994. This product line did not
achieve the anticipated market acceptance and was also very capital intensive.
There are currently only 2 units in operation and net revenues through June 30,
1996 were nominal. The Credit Card Copy ExpressTM was first installed in January
1995, and as of June 30, 1996, there were only 77 units in operation and net
revenues therefrom were nominal. The Credit Card Vending ExpressTM was first
installed in March 1995, and as of June 30, 1996 there were only 6 units in
operation and net revenues were nominal. The Company's Credit Card Debit
ExpressTM was first installed in April 1995, and as of June 30, 1996, there were
only 24 units in operation and net revenues were nominal. The Credit Card
Computer ExpressTM was first installed in April 1996, and as of June 30, 1996,
there were only 21 units in operation and net revenues were nominal.
For its fiscal years ended June 30, 1994, June 30, 1995, and June 30,
1996, the Company incurred operating losses of $1,244,117, $1,645,750 and
$2,451,697, respectively. From its inception on January 16, 1992 through June
30, 1996, the Company has incurred operating losses of $6,242,959. Such
operating losses are anticipated to continue into fiscal 1997. See "Management's
Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations."
As of June 30, 1996, the Company's products have been installed at
only 130 locations and net revenues have been nominal. Accordingly, the Company
has an extremely limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the
Company's prospects can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of
the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment
of a new business as well as the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by
a development stage company. There is currently no basis upon which to assume
that the Company's business will prove financially profitable or generate more
than nominal operating revenues, and if not, investors may lose all or a
substantial portion of their investment.
4
<PAGE>
2. Dependence Upon Key Personnel. The Company is dependent on certain
key management personnel, particularly its President and Chief Executive
Officer, George R. Jensen, Jr. The loss of services of Mr. Jensen or other
executive officers would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business. The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Jensen
that expires in June 1997 and one-year employment agreements with the other
executive officers each of which contain non-compete agreements. The Company has
obtained a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $2,000,000 on Mr.
Jensen, and a key man life insurance policy in the amount of $1,000,000 on its
Vice President-Research and Development, Haven Brock Kolls, Jr. The Company does
not have and does not presently intend to obtain key man life insurance coverage
on any of its other executive officers.
3. Uncertainty of New Product Development; Unproven Commercial
Viability. While a number of products or services such as gasoline,
prepaid telephone cards, public telephones, vending machines, tickets and
facsimile machines, are currently provided through unattended, credit card
activated terminals, the commercial viability of the use of an unattended,
credit card activated control system in connection with the use of copiers and
personal computers has not been established. Although commercial production and
installation of the Company's products has commenced on a very limited basis,
there can be no assurance that the Company's products will be successful or
become profitable. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the demand for the
Company's products will be sufficient to enable the Company to become
profitable. In any such event, investors may lose all or substantially all of
their investment in the Company.
4. Dependence on Proprietary Technology; Patent Issues. The Company's
success is dependent in part on its ability to obtain patent protection for its
products, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the
proprietary rights of others. To date, the Company has filed seven patent
applications, and intends to file applications for additional patents covering
its future products. There can be no assurance that any of the patent
applications will be granted, that the Company will develop additional products
that are patentable or do not infringe the patents of others, or that any
patents issued to the Company will provide the Company with any competitive
advantages or adequate protection for its products. In addition, there can be no
assurance that any patents issued to the Company will not be challenged,
invalidated or circumvented by others. If any of the Company's products is found
to have infringed any patent, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain licenses to continue to manufacture and license such product or
that the Company will not have to pay damages as a result of such infringement.
Even if a patent application is granted for any of the Company's products, there
can be no assurance that the patented technology will be a commercial success or
result in any profits to the Company.
5
<PAGE>
5. Competition. The Company is not aware of any other business
competing in the areas of unattended, credit card activated control systems for
use in connection with copiers or personal computers. However, the businesses
which have developed unattended, credit card activated control systems currently
used in connection with gasoline dispensing, public telephones, ticket
dispensing machines, prepaid telephone cards, vending machines, or facsimile
machines are capable of developing products or utilizing their existing products
in direct competition with the Company. Many of these businesses are well
established, have substantially greater resources than the Company and have
established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of high
quality products. The Company is aware of one business which has developed an
unattended, credit card activated device for vending machines. Any such
increased competition may result in lower percentages of gross revenues being
retained by the Company in connection with its devices, or otherwise may reduce
potential profits or result in a loss of some or all of its customer base.
6. Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers. The Company is dependent on
third-party suppliers for the various component parts of its products. Although
the Company believes there are alternative sources for these component parts,
the failure of such suppliers to supply such component parts or the absence of
readily available alternative sources could have a material adverse effect on
the Company, including delaying the implementation of the Company's business
plan to achieve profitability. The Company does not have supply contracts with
any of such third-party suppliers and intends to purchase components pursuant to
purchase orders placed from time to time. See "Business-Procurement".
7. Cash Dividends Not Likely. There can be no assurance that the
proposed operations of the Company will result in significant revenues or any
level of profitability. Any earnings which may be generated by the Company would
be used, for the foreseeable future, to finance the growth of the Company's
business. Accordingly, while payment of dividends rests within the discretion of
the Board of Directors, no cash dividends on the Common Stock have been declared
or paid by the Company to date, and the Company does not presently intend to pay
cash dividends on the Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Although the
Company paid a special stock dividend in August 1995 consisting of 3 shares of
Common Stock for each share of outstanding Preferred Stock, there can be no
assurance that cash dividends will ever be paid on the Common Stock. See
"Description of Securities-Series A Convertible Preferred Stock." The Articles
of Incorporation of the Company prohibit the declaration of any dividends on the
Common Stock unless and until all unpaid and accumulated dividends on the
Preferred Stock have been declared and paid. Through June 30, 1996, the unpaid
and cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock equal $1,758,490.
On August 1, 1996 this amount was increased by $597,019. See "Description of
Securities- Series A Convertible Preferred Stock."
6
<PAGE>
8. Need For Market Acceptance; Location Risk. There can be no assurance
that demand for the Company's products will be sufficient to enable the Company
to become profitable. Likewise, no assurance can be given that the Company will
be able to install the credit card activated control systems at enough locations
to achieve significant revenues or that its operations can be conducted
profitably. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's products have been installed at
only 130 locations and revenues have been nominal. Alternatively, the locations
which would utilize the control systems may not be successful locations. In
such event, the revenues of the Company would be adversely affected. The
Company may in the future lose locations utilizing its products to competitors,
or may not be able to install its products at its competitor's locations.
9. No Assurance of Active Public Market. The Common Stock is currently
traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. Although there is limited trading
in the Common Stock, there is no established trading market therefore. Unless
and until there is an established trading market for the Common Stock, holders
of the Common Stock could find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations as to the price of, the Common Stock. See "Description of Securities
- - - Shares Eligible For Future Sale" and "Market For Common Stock."
10. Risks of Low-Priced Stocks. The Common Stock is subject to the
so-called penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice requirements
on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net
worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000
together with a spouse). For transactions covered by this rule, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior
to sale. These regulations may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to
sell the Common Stock.
The Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be
any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per
share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule
relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,
current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole
market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's
7
<PAGE>
presumed control over the market.
As of the date hereof, the Common Stock qualifies as a penny stock and
is subject to the above regulations. The above regulations could adversely
affect the market liquidity for the Common Stock and could limit the ability of
broker-dealers to sell the Common Stock as well as the ability of holders of the
Common Stock to sell the Common Stock in the secondary market.
11. Charge to Income in the Event of Release of Escrow Shares. If the
Company attains certain earning thresholds or the Company's Common Stock attains
certain prices required for the release of certain shares of Common Stock
currently held in escrow and which are subject to cancellation, such release
will require the Company to recognize additional compensation expense. In the
event such shares are released, they will be considered outstanding for purposes
of calculating per share information concerning the Company. Accordingly, the
Company will, in the event of the release of such Common Stock, recognize during
the period in which the earning thresholds are met or such per share prices
obtained, what could be a substantial charge that would have the effect of
substantially increasing the Company's loss or reducing or eliminating earnings,
if any, at such time. Such charge will not be deductible for income tax
purposes. Although the amount of compensation expense recognized by the Company
will not affect the Company's total shareholders' equity or cash flow, it may
have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's securities. If the
required earnings threshold was achieved at June 30, 1996, or the Company's
Common Stock attained certain prices required for the release of the escrowed
shares for a 30-day period during the year ended June 30, 1996, the compensatory
charge to the Company's operations during the year ended June 30, 1996 would
have been $2,837,250 (assuming the fair market value approximated $.65 per share
on June 30, 1996). This charge would not have affected the Company's cash flow
or total shareholders' equity. The net loss per share of Common Stock would have
been ($.42). See "Principal Shareholders - Escrow and Cancellation
Arrangements."
12. Uncertainty of Company to Continue as a Going Concern. The
Company's independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their
report on the Company's financial statements to the effect that the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," and "Financial Statements." If the Company ceases to continue as a
going concern, the investors in the Common Stock would lose all or substantially
all of their investment in their Common Stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of the
Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. See "Selling Shareholders" for a list
of those Shareholders entitled to receive net proceeds from the sales of the
Common Stock. The Company would, however, receive $.50 (or such lower exercise
price as the Company may determine) upon the exercise of each 1995 Warrant by a
Selling Shareholder. From February 12, 1996 through June 30, 1996, the Company
reduced the exercise price of the 1995 Warrants to $.30. See "Description of
Securities - 1995 Common Stock Purchase Warrants." Through June 30, 1996, a
total of 3,686,000 1995 Warrants were exercised at $.30, and gross proceeds to
the Company were $1,105,800. There is no assurance that any or all of the
remaining 1995 Warrants will be exercised by the Selling Shareholders. The
Selling Shareholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of the
Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus. The Company will incur costs of
approximately $46,000 in connection with the registration of the Common Stock
underlying the 1995 Warrants. See "Description of Securities - 1995 Common Stock
Purchase Warrants."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
Since January 1992, the Company, a development stage corporation, has
been engaged almost exclusively in research and development activities focused
on designing, developing, and marketing its unattended, credit card activated
control systems. From inception through June 30, 1996, the Company has had
nominal operating revenues (exclusive of interest) of $63,658 and has generated
funds primarily through the sale of its securities. Through June 30, 1996, the
Company has received, net of expenses, of such sales, the amount of $4,367,085
in connection with private placements, $1,105,800 from the exercise of the 1995
Common Stock Purchase Warrants, 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 $7,296,143 at June 30, 1996 and such
losses are expected to continue into fiscal 1997.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1996. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996, the Company had a net loss of $2,451,692. Overall this loss reflects the
continuing development stage activities of the Company. The Company's Preferred
Stock provides for an annual cumulative dividend of $1.50 per share payable to
the shareholders of record on February 1 and August 1 each year. The $3,405,997
loss applicable to common shares or $.23 loss per common share was derived by
adding the $2,451,697 net loss and the $954,300 of cumulative preferred
dividends for the year ending June 30, 1996 and dividing by the weighted average
shares outstanding.
Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 remained at a nominal
level reflecting the disappointing performance of the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM
product line. Expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30,1996 were $2,536,544,
representing a $868,546 or 52% increase over the prior year. The primary
contributors to this increase were general and administrative expense and
compensation.
General and administrative expense of $1,449,889 increased sharply by
$751,289 or 108% which reflects both a general increase in spending to support
the expansion of operations as well as several non-operational factors.
Specifically, the major contributors to this increase were (a) $187,122 increase
in travel and lodging which was concentrated in the operations area and reflects
installation of the Company's control devices, (b) $103,355 increase in
professional fees due to financial consultant and legal fees, including
increased patent activity, (c) $93,888 increase in product development expense
primarily due to the programming and configuration of the Company's Credit Card
Computer ExpressTM, (d) $313,548 increase in consulting expense, $247,205 of
which is a non-cash compensation expense attributable to the issuance of Common
Stock to an outside consultant for services rendered, and (e) the balance of the
increase includes public relations and technical services. Telephone, office
expense, and postage increased moderately.

<PAGE>
Compensation expense was $903,398, an increase of $215,013 or 31% over
the previous fiscal year. This increase was concentrated in the marketing
function and corporate staffing, and also including $27,343 of expense to
initiate an employee medical benefits plan.
Depreciation expense of $72,016 increased by $56,548, which is
attributable to the increased depreciable asset base. Advertising remained
consistent with the previous year.
A provision for losses on equipment was charged to operations in the
amount of $44,100 which represents the final charge for the discontinuance of
the Golfer's OasisTM product line.
Interest expense returned to normal levels with the elimination of the
public offering interest cost reflected in the prior year.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1995. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995, the Company had a net loss of $1,645,750. Overall this loss reflects the
continuing development stage activities of the Company including the costs
associated with the de-emphasis of the Golfer's OasisTM product line. The
Company's Preferred Stock provides for an annual cumulative dividend of $1.50
per share payable to the shareholders of record on February 1 and August 1 each
year. In addition, in August 1995 the Company paid a special stock dividend of 3
shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding
on August 1, 1995, consisting of an aggregate of 1,908,600 shares of Common
Stock. The $2,149,624 loss applicable to common shares or $.19 loss per common
share was derived by adding the $1,645,750 net loss and the $503,784 of
cumulative preferred dividends for the year ending June 30, 1995 and dividing by
the weighted average shares outstanding.
Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 remained at a nominal
level reflecting the disappointing performance of the Golfer's OasisTM and the
slower than anticipated introduction of the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM product
line. Expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30,1995 were $1,667,998,
representing a $413,914 or 33% increase over the prior year. The primary
contributors to this increase were general and administrative expense and a
provision for loss on obsolete equipment.
General and administrative expense of $653,693 increased sharply by
$314,689 which reflects both a general increase in spending to support the
expansion of operations as well as several non-operational factors.
Specifically, the major contributors to this increase were (a) $120,000 increase
in consulting fees which includes a non-recurring charge of $99,750 for the
non-cash compensation expense associated with the 150,000 shares of Common Stock
issued to an outside consultant, (b) $47,000 increase in rent, which includes a
non-recurring charge of $44,000 for the planned lease termination for the
Jacksonville facility, (c) 25,000 increase in equipment rental expense
associated with the Jacksonville location, (d) $69,000 increase in professional
fees due to legal, accounting, and public relations activities, (e) increase
of $12,000 in telephone expense, and (f) an increase of $12,000 in postage.
Compensation expense remained level with the prior year. At year end
the Company had thirteen full time employees representing a net addition of only
one. However the composition of the staff has shifted in support of the new
product development.
A provision for losses on obsolete equipment of $148,615 was recorded
to reflect the Company's decision to deemphasize the Golfer's OasisTM product
line. It is management's opinion that the new products already developed
represent a better utilization of the Company's resources and will yield returns
higher than the capital intensive Golfer's OasisTM. All of the software and
technology related to this control system has been incorporated into and will be
marketed under the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM line. This charge to expense
represents the cost of liquidating the machines, parts, and components in excess
of the Company's current requirements.
Advertising and interest expense were both level with the prior year.
The majority of the interest expense, however, is related to the Company's
initial public offering which closed in February 1995 and therefore will not
continue. Research and development expense decreased significantly in 1995 by
$73,125 primarily due to the transition of projects from outside contracts to
in-house personnel which is accounted for under Compensation. Depreciation
increased by $7,410 as a function of the increased asset base.

<PAGE>
Preliminary Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 1996
The Company continued to incur losses during the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 of approximately $670,000 and generated nominal revenues. See
"Recent Developments."
Plan of Operations
As of June 30, 1996 the Company had a total of 130 credit card
activated control systems installed in the field as follows: Credit Card Copy
ExpressTM 77, Credit Card Debit ExpressTM 24, Credit Card Vending ExpressTM 8,
and the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM 21. Through June 30, 1996 the total gross
revenues received by the Company from these systems has been nominal.
11
<PAGE>
During the past year the Company has refined its direction on new
product development. It has shifted its emphasis to products capable of
generating new incremental revenue for equipment operators (ie. Computer
ExpressTM, Business ExpressTM, Automated Printer Payment SystemTM) as opposed to
in the past simply providing a better method of payment (i.e. Credit Card Copy
ExpressTM).
The Company commenced marketing the Business ExpressTM in October 1996.
Development is complete and as of September 30, 1996, there are four test sites
in operation. The marketing and sales function has been increased to four direct
sales representatives and four dealers to market this product.
Another significant change in direction implemented has been the move
toward the sale of equipment (which includes the Company's credit card activated
control systems) to operators rather than the revenue sharing arrangements
employed to date. The Company still retains all rights to software and
proprietary technology which it licenses to location operators for their
exclusive use. However this shift in market approach reduces the Company's
dependancy on future revenue from its devices by providing an upfront gross
profit on the sale of the equipment, and simultaneously reduces the Company's
capital asset requirements.
Plans for the coming fiscal year include progressing from the
developmental stage to an operating mode. This includes the Company's plans to
relocate to a 7,000 square foot facility which will provide assembly and
warehousing space to support the assembly of the Business ExpressTM. The
Business ExpressTM, will be assembled at the Company's new facility and then
shipped direct for site installation by Company personnel.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Company completed a
number of equity transactions. Net proceeds of $1,441,185 were realized from the
private placement offering of Preferred Stock and 1996 Common Stock Purchase
Warrants, which closed August 31, 1995. In February 1996, the exercise price for
the 1995 Warrants was reduced from $.50 per share to $.30 per share and net
proceeds of $1,105,800 were generated from the 1995 Warrants exercised. In April
1996, a private placement offering generated an additional $1,249,264 of net
proceeds. As of June 30, 1996 total working capital was $1,530,864, including
cash on hand of $1,773,356.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, net cash of $2,392,538 was
used by operating activities, primarily compensation and general and
administrative expenses. Net cash of $108,904 was used by investing activities
principally for the purchase of property and equipment . The net cash provided
by financing activities of $3,898,607 was principally due to the net proceeds
generated from the issuance of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of $3,953,899.
The Company anticipates that its net cash requirements for the year
ending June 30, 1997 would approximate $1.7 million. The Company anticipates
that such cash would be utilized for selling, general and administrative
expenses, as well as capital investment and working capital required to support
the anticipated increased operating levels associated with the Business
Express(TM) and the Computer Express(TM) products.
The Company's independent auditors have included an explanatory
paragraph in their report on the Company's June 30, 1996 financial statements
discussing issues which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the funds available at
June 30, 1996 combined with the revenues to be generated during fiscal year
1997, the potential capital to be raised from the exercise of the 1995 and 1996
Warrants, and the ability to defer anticipated expenditures, if required, will
provide for the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no
assurance, however, that any significant revenues will be generated during the
1997 fiscal year or that any capital can be raised by the Company. In such event
the Company may cease to be a going concern and investors in the Common Stock
may lose all of their investment. See "Risk Factors - Development Stage Company;
Limited Operating History; Significant Cumulative Operating Losses."
Commitment
During February 1996, the Company entered into a commitment to acquire
250 control system equipment for $142,000. As of June 30, 1996, 174 units were
received and accordingly $99,000 was included in accounts payable. An additional
$43,000 will be payable upon the delivery of the remaining 76 units in fiscal
year 1997. These amounts are expected to be paid from the existing cash
resources.
In October 1996, the Company entered into a lease for approximately
7,000 square feet in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The lease expires on October 15, 1999.
The Company is obligated to continue to pay rent under its lease for its
previous Wayne, Pennsylvania office space through August 1997.
BUSINESS
USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was
founded in January 1992. The Company is in the development stage and intends to
become the leading owner and licensor of unattended, credit card activated
control systems for the vending, copying, debit card and personal computer
industries. The Company's devices make available credit card payment technology
12
<PAGE>
in connection with the sale of a variety of products and services. The Company
anticipates generating its revenues from both retaining a portion of the
revenues generated from all credit card transactions conducted through its
control systems, as well as the direct sale of its control systems and the
resale of configured office products.
The Company has developed an unattended, credit card activated control
system for vending machines known as the Credit Card Vending ExpressTM, an
unattended, credit card activated control system to be utilized with
photocopying machines and computer printers known as the Credit Card Copy
ExpressTM, and an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used
in connection with debit card purchase/revalue stations known as the Credit Card
Debit ExpressTM. The devices allow consumers to use credit cards to pay for
those products and services.
The Company has also developed the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM which
is an unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in connection
with general use of a personal computer, as well as for the use of on-line
services, including the Internet, and for the use of a laser printer. This
product enables locations such as public libraries to offer the use of personal
computers to the public on an "as needed" basis utilizing credit cards as a
method of payment. In addition, the Company introduced to the university library
market its Automated Print Payment SystemTM. This system enables libraries to
charge users via credit/debit cards for the printed output from computer
networks, thus providing a new source of revenue to cover their increasing costs
of operations.
In September 1996, the Company completed the prototype of its Business
ExpressTM which will be marketed to the hospitality industry as an amenity to
the business traveler. The Business ExpressTM combines the Company's existing
applications for computers, copiers, and facsimiles into a kiosk type
configuration. All services provided are credit card activated.
In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Dell
Marketing, L.P., a subsidiary of Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell"), pursuant to
which the Company was appointed as a Dell authorized "Remarketer/Integrator".
Dell is one of the leading manufacturers of personal computers and other related
computer products in the world. Pursuant to the agreement, Dell will manufacture
Dell computers containing the Company's C3XTM credit card activated control
system. These products will be sold to the Company by Dell either for resale by
the Company to its customers or for licensing by the Company to its customers.
The Company is entitled to a discount off of the list price of the Dell products
being purchased from Dell. Dell may ship the complete computer system (including
the integrated C3XTM control system) directly to the Company's customer on a COD
basis and remit the applicable discount to the Company. The agreement has an
initial term of one year and is cancelable by either party upon thirty days
notice. Through June 30, 1996, the Company has acquired 25 computer systems from
Dell for approximately $75,000.
For the year ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, the Company has spent
approximately $130,000 and $224,000, respectively for the development of its
proprietary technology. These amounts include the expense of outside consultants
and contractors as well as compensation paid to the Company's employees and
included in Compensation in the accompanying financial statements.

<PAGE>
The Company has been certified by First Data Corp., the leading credit
card processor in the United States. First Data has extended to the Company a
fixed rate percentage processing charge in connection with the credit card
transactions conducted through the Company's products. This charge is paid by
the Company out of its share of the gross proceeds. See "Business-Credit Card
Processing." Each credit card activated control device records and transmits all
transaction data to the Company, and the Company then forwards such data to the
credit card processor. After receiving transaction information from the Company,
the credit card processor electronically transfers the funds to the Company's
bank account. The Company then forwards to the location utilizing the Company's
control system its share of the funds.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had 77 Credit Card Copy ExpressTM
control systems, 24 Credit Card Debit ExpressTM control systems, and 21 Credit
Card Computer ExpressTM control systems at the following commercial locations:
Adams State College, Anaheim Public Library, Boston College Law School, Bradley
University Library, Bucks County Community College, Central Arkansas Library
System, Clarkson University, Cleveland State University, Colgate University,
Denver Public Library, Drexel University, Georgetown University Law Library,
Library of Congress, Loyola University Medical School, Michigan State
University, Nanuet Public Library, New England Law Library, Nova Southeastern
University, Ohio University, Penn State University, Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy & Science, Princeton University, San Francisco Public Library, Temple
University Law Library, University of Arkansas Law Library, University of
Chicago, University of the District of Columbia, University of Georgia,
University of Houston, University of Maine, University of Maryland, University
of Pittsburgh, University of Tennessee, University of Texas, University of
Wisconsin, Upper Merion Public Library, Villanova University, and William Jeanes
Memorial Library. Through June 30, 1996 the total gross revenues received by the
Company from these systems has been nominal.
The Company had licensed its Credit Card Vending ExpressTM technology
to an apparel manufacturer to be used in connection with the sale from vending
machines of T-shirts, windbreakers, and tote bags, and has also licensed this
technology to two golf courses. In July 1996, the licensing arrangement with the
apparel manufacturer was terminated by the apparel manufacturer effective
September 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996, there were 8 Credit Card Vending ExpressTM
control systems in operation and the gross revenues to the Company from those
machines has been nominal. As of the date hereof, there are no Credit Card
Vending ExpressTM control systems in operation.
Industry Trends
With trends over the last twenty years indicating an ever increasing
customer reliance on the use of credit cards as a method of payment, the Company
believes the future of purchasing products and services is in credit cards
rather than cash. There are approximately eight hundred million credit cards
issued in the United States. The Company has focused its efforts towards
developing unattended, credit card activated control systems for use in the
vending, copier, debit card and personal computer industries.
Credit Card Processing
14
<PAGE>
Each of the Company's credit card activated control devices records and
transmits all transaction data to the Company, and the Company then forwards
such data to the credit card processor. After receiving transaction information
from the Company, the credit card processor electronically transfers the funds
(less the credit card processor's charge) to the Company. The Company then
forwards to the location its share of the funds.
The Company and each location have agreed on a percentage split of the
gross proceeds from the Company's device. The credit card processor's fees and
cost to forward the location's share of the gross proceeds are all paid for out
of the Company's portion of the gross revenue.
In connection with its Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, the Company is
currently retaining 15 to 30% of the gross revenues from each device. The
Company anticipates retaining approximately 90% of the gross revenues where it
licenses the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM complete system to a location and
20% of the gross revenues where the Company sells a complete system to a
location or where the Company licenses only the C3XTM control system to a
location for use in connection with existing computer equipment.
15
<PAGE>
The Credit Card Copy ExpressTM
Traditionally, customers wishing to use a photocopying machine have
either used a prepaid, stored value card or cash. In most circumstances, this
places a burden on employees of the facility to provide a number of services
unrelated to their primary jobs, such as providing change, coin collecting, coin
counting and coin reloading. With the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, the attendant
no longer needs to interact with the customers for these purposes.
The Credit Card Copy ExpressTM provides a cashless method to pay for
the use of photocopying machines. The device is attached to the photocopying
machine, computer printer, or microfilm/fiche printer in a similar manner as
attaching a standard coin acceptor. The device can be attached to either
existing or new equipment. The control system enables customers to photocopy
documents with the use of a credit card.
The Credit Card Debit ExpressTM
Many "closed" environments such as universities utilize a private card
system to store cash value known as a debit or "stored value" card. The system
works by encouraging customers to transfer lump sum cash values onto a magnetic
stripe or imbedded chip card that can be used to activate equipment within the
closed environment. As the cardholder uses the card to purchase products or
services the cash value is deducted from the total value on the card.
The Company's Credit Card Debit ExpressTM enables customers to purchase
or revalue their debit cards with a credit card and eliminates the need for cash
or for an attendant to handle cash, provide change or process credit card
transactions. The Credit Card Debit ExpressTM eliminates any reliance on cash by
allowing customers to use a credit card to purchase or place additional value on
a debit card.
The Company's product is presently being used with debit card machines
in university libraries. Such debit cards are used for the copy machines located
in the library. The Company generally retains 15% of the gross revenues from the
devices.
16
<PAGE>
The Credit Card Computer ExpressTM
The Company believes that the growing dependence on personal computers
has created an environment where there is a need for access to personal
computers by the general public on an "as needed" basis. To meet this need, the
Company has developed the Credit Card Computer ExpressTM. Through June 30, 1996,
the Company's system is in commercial use at 21 locations, substantially all of
which are public libraries. The device enables the public to utilize personal
computers and/or the services they offer on an "as-needed" basis. The system is
designed so that the computer could not be used until a valid credit card is
swiped through the control system. Once the user is authorized to proceed, the
system would charge for time in use, printed output, and any modem activity.
The Company could either sell the C3XTM control device to locations
which already have personal computers, or alternatively, either license or sell
to the location a Credit Card Computer ExpressTM complete system. If the
complete system is purchased by the location from the Company, the Company
anticipates retaining 20% of the gross revenues, or if the complete system is
purchased by the Company and licensed to the location, the Company anticipates
retaining approximately 90% of the gross revenues.
During February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Dell
Marketing, L.P., a subsidiary of Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell"), pursuant to
which the Company was appointed as a Dell authorized "Remarketer/Integrator."
Dell is one of the leading manufacturers of personal computers and other related
computer products in the world. Pursuant to the agreement, Dell will manufacture
Dell computers containing the Company's C3XTM credit card activated control
system. See "Business Procurement." These products will be sold to the Company
by Dell either for resale by the Company to its customers or for licensing by
the Company to its customers. The Company is entitled to a discount off of the
list price of the Dell products being purchased from Dell. Dell may ship the
complete computer system (including the integrated C3XTM control device)
directly to the Company's customer on a COD basis and remit the applicable
discount to the Company. The agreement has initial term of one year and is
cancelable by either party upon thirty days notice. Through June 30, 1996, the
Company ordered 25 computer systems from Dell.
The initial customer base to be targeted by the Company for the Credit
Card Computer ExpressTM is public and university libraries. The Company believes
that the personal computer is becoming an integral part of how library patrons
access and utilize the information available to them. The Company also believes
that the majority of these libraries do not currently offer general use personal
computers to their patrons. The Company will also pursue print shops, cyber
cafes, hotels, airports, convention and conference centers, and various retail
outlets as potential customers.
The Business ExpressTM
The hotel/motel hospitality industry continues to expand, but has
become more competitive as chains increase their efforts to attract the most
dominant and profitable customer; the business traveler. Business travelers and
conference attendees account for the majority of hotel occupancy, stay longer
and spend more per visit than the leisure traveler. For these reasons, the
Company believes that hotels have become very sensitive and responsive to the
needs and preferences of the business traveler. The Business ExpressTM enables
a hotel to address these needs in a comprehensive and cost effective manner,
while simultaneously generating increment of revenue.
The Business ExpressTM utilizes the Company's existing applications
for computers, copiers, and facsimile equipment, and combines them into a
branded product. The Business ExpressTM bundles the Credit Card Computer
ExpressTM unit, the Credit Card Copy ExpressTM unit, and the Credit Card Fax
ExpressTM unit, into a functional kiosk type work station. All devices are
credit card activated, therefore eliminating the need for an attendant normally
required to provide such services.
During August 1996, the Company completed the Business ExpressTM
prototype and during September 1996 installed the first four operational test
sites at Courtyard by Marriott, Wayne, PA; the Westin, Holiday Inn, and Chino
Hotel all located in Ottawa, Ontario.
17
<PAGE>
Marketing
The Company is currently marketing its products through its full-time
sales staff consisting of six persons to university libraries and public
libraries, either directly or through facility management companies servicing
these locations.
Procurement
The Company's control system devices consist of a card reader, printer,
amplifier, circuit board and micro chip in a specially designed housing. The
devices are currently manufactured to the Company's design specification by an
independent contractor, LMC - Autotech Technologies, LP. The Company has
recently contracted for the purchase of 250 control devices, for a total
purchase price of $142,000. Through June 30, 1996, 174 units have been delivered
and $99,000 has been included in acounts payable. The Company anticipates
obtaining its complete computer systems (other than the C3XTM control system)
from Dell pursuant to the agreement entered into with Dell.
Competition
The Company believes that there are currently no other businesses
competing in the areas of unattended, credit card activated control systems for
use in connection with copiers or personal computers. However, the businesses
which have developed unattended, credit card activated control systems currently
in use in connection with gasoline dispensing, public telephones, prepaid
telephone cards, ticket dispensing machines, vending machines, or facsimile
machines, are capable of developing products or utilizing their existing
products in direct competition with the Company. Many of these businesses are
well established, have substantially greater resources than the Company and have
established reputations for success in the development, sale and service of high
quality products. The Company is aware of one business which has developed an
unattended, credit card activated control system to be used in connection with
vending machines. Any such increased competition may result in lower percentages
of gross revenues being retained by the Company in connection with its licensing
arrangements, or otherwise may reduce potential profits or result in a loss of
some or all of its customer base. See "Risk Factors - Competition".
Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Information
The Company has applied for federal registration of its trademarks
Credit Card Printer ExpressTM, Credit Card Copy ExpressTM, Credit Card Debit
ExpressTM, Credit Card Computer ExpressTM, C3XTM, PC ExpressTM and Business
ExpressTM.
Much of the technology developed or to be developed by the Company is
subject to trade secret protection. To reduce the risk of loss of trade secret
protection through disclosure, the Company has entered into confidentiality
agreements with its key employees.
18
<PAGE>
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining
such trade secret protection or that others will not capitalize on certain of
the Company's technology.
The Company has applied for seven United States letters patent related
to its cashless vending technology, and has applied for certain corresponding
foreign letters patent in connection therewith. As of the date hereof, all of
such applications are pending and have not been granted. See "Risk Factors -
Dependence on Proprietary Technology; Patent Issues."
Employees
As of the date hereof, the Company has sixteen full-time employees and
two part-time employees.
Properties
The Company leases its principal executive offices, consisting of
approximately 7,000 square feet, at 200 Plant Avenue, Wayne, Pennsylvania for a
monthly rental of $5,000 plus utilities and operating expenses. The lease
expires on October 15, 1999. Effective October 1996, the Company cancelled its
lease in Jacksonville, Florida and has no further obligation thereunder. The
Company is obligated to continue to pay rent under the lease for its previous
Wayne, Pennsylvania executive offices through August 1997.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Escrow And Cancellation Arrangements
At the request of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, all of the
executive officers and directors of the Company have placed in escrow with
Meridian Bank, as escrow agent, all of the 8,603,675 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by them as of the date hereof. Any additional shares of
Common Stock beneficially acquired by them will also be held in escrow. Until
December 29, 1996, and subject to the provisions of the escrow agreement, the
31
<PAGE>
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 Common Stock which they may own. As set forth below, under certain
circumstances, Mr. Jensen's shares of Common Stock may be held in escrow for an
additional period of time but not later than June 30, 1998.
Pursuant to the request of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, Mr.
Jensen has agreed that 4,365,000 shares of his escrowed Common Stock would be
canceled by the Company and would no longer be issued and outstanding unless one
of the following occurs (i) the bid price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds
$1.75 for 30 consecutive trading days at any time during the period of July 1,
1996 through June 30, 1998; or (ii) the Company's cumulative operating income

equals or exceeds $.18. Mr. Jensen has agreed that an amount equal to 1,030,000
shares of his escrowed Common Stock (rather than 4,365,000 shares) would be
canceled if (i) at any time after July 1, 1994 and prior to June 30, 1998, the
Company's cumulative operating income per share of Common Stock is at least $.12
but less than $.18 and Mr. Jensen affirmatively elects to have this provision
apply, or (ii) on June 30, 1998, the Company's cumulative operating income per
share of Common Stock since July 1, 1994 is at least $.12 but less than $.18.
See "Risk Factors - Charge to Income in the Event of Release of Escrow Shares."
For purposes of computing the Company's cumulative operating income, all
operating results prior to July 1, 1994 are ignored, and the cumulative
operating income is deemed to be zero on and as of such date. Subject to the

available for payment of dividends. No dividend may be paid on the Common Stock
until all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock have been
paid.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders
of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets of
the Company available for distribution, subject to the liquidation preference of
the Preferred Stock of $10.00 per share and any unpaid and accumulated dividends
on the Preferred Stock. The holders of the Common Stock do not have any
preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase shares, obligations, 1995
Warrants, 1996 Warrants, or other securities of the Company.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The holders of shares of Preferred Stock have the number of votes per
share equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share
is convertible (i.e., 1 share of Preferred Stock equals 10 votes). The shares of
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the vote of the
shareholders of the Company, including the election of directors.
The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to an annual cumulative cash
dividend of $1.50 per annum, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors. Any and all accumulated and unpaid cash dividends on the Preferred
Stock must be declared and paid prior to the declaration and payment of any
dividends on the Common Stock. Any unpaid and accumulated dividends will not
bear interest. As of June 30, 1996 the accumulated and unpaid dividends on the
Preferred Stock were $1,758,490. An additional $597,019 of dividends accrued
on August 1, 1996. Any unpaid and accumulated dividends will not bear interest.
Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into 10 shares
of fully issued and non-assessable Common Stock. Accrued and unpaid dividends
earned on shares of Preferred Stock being converted into Common Stock are also
convertible into Common Stock at the rate $1.00 per share of Common Stock at the
time of conversion and whether or not such dividends have then been declared by
the Company. As of June 30, 1996, a total of 21,175 shares of Preferred Stock
have been converted into Common Stock and accrued and unpaid dividends therein
have been converted into 41,626 shares of Common Stock. The conversion rate of
the
43
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock (and any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) will be equitably
adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations, and in
connection with certain other issuances of Common Stock by the Company. Upon any
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive a distribution in preference to the Common Stock
in the amount of $10.00 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The Company has the right, at any time on or after January 1, 1998, to
redeem all or any part of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock for the sum
of $11.00 per share plus any and all unpaid and accumulated dividends thereon.
Upon notice by the Company of such call, the holders of the Preferred Stock so
called will have the opportunity to convert their shares of Preferred Stock and
any unpaid and accumulated dividends thereon (whether or not such dividends have
been declared by the Company as of such date) into shares of Common Stock.
The Company paid a special stock dividend consisting of 3 shares of
Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on August
1, 1995. The stock dividend consisted of an aggregate of 1,908,600 shares of
Common Stock.
1995 Common Stock Purchase Warrants
Each 1995 Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common
Stock from the Company at an exercise price of $.50, or such lower exercise
price as may be determined by the Company from time to time. The exercise price
of the 1995 Warrants had been reduced by the Company to $.40 during the period
of time from February 12, 1996 through April 30, 1996. Subsequent to April 30,
1996, the exercise price of the 1995 Warrants was further reduced to $.30 until
June 30, 1996, and such reduction was made retroactive to those holders who had
already exercised the 1995 Warrants at $.40. As a result thereof, the Company
returned the sum of $87,200 to such holders. At June 30, 1996, a total of
3,686,000 1995 Warrants had been exercised generating gross proceeds of
$1,105,800. There were 1,414,000 unexercised 1995 Warrants as of June 30, 1996,
and no additional 1995 Warrants have been exercised through the date hereof. The
1995 Warrants are exercisable at any time through January 31, 2001, or such
later date as may be determined by the Company ("1995 Warrant Termination
Date").
The 1995 Warrants have been issued pursuant to a 1995 Warrant Agreement
dated as of June 21, 1995, by and between the Company and American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, the 1995 warrant agent (the "1995 Warrant Agreement").
As a condition to obtaining their Common Stock, the Selling
Shareholders must exercise the 1995 Warrants by tendering the per share exercise
price required under the 1995 Warrant Agreement. In the event all remaining 1995
Warrants are exercised at $.30, the Company would receive gross proceeds of
$424,200. If all the remaining 1995 Warrants are exercised at a price of less
than $.30, the gross proceeds received by the Company would be reduced. There is
no assurance that any of the remaining 1995 Warrants will be exercised by the
Selling Shareholders, and if none of the remaining 1995 Warrants are exercised,
the Company would not receive any further gross proceeds. Any such exercise may
occur on or before the 1995 Warrant Termination Date.
The Company has agreed, at its expense, to register for resale by the
Selling Shareholders the Common Stock underlying the 1995 Warrants under the
Act, and to register or qualify the Common Stock
44
<PAGE>
for resale in those states in which the Selling Shareholders are located.
The exercise price of the 1995 Warrants and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 1995 Warrants are subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances, including a stock split of, stock dividend
on, or a subdivision, combination or recapitalization of the Common Stock. Upon
the merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all the assets of the Company,
or other similar transaction, the 1995 Warrant holders shall, at the option of
the Company, be required to exercise the 1995 Warrants immediately prior to the
closing of the transaction, or such 1995 Warrants shall automatically expire.
Upon such exercise, the 1995 Warrant holders shall participate on the same basis
as the holders of Common Stock in connection with the transaction.
The 1995 Warrants do not confer upon the holder any voting or any other
rights of a shareholder of the Company. Upon notice to the 1995 Warrant holders,
the Company has the right, at any time and from time to time, to reduce the
exercise price or to extend the 1995 Warrant Termination Date.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Of the 23,023,976 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on June
30, 1996, 10,204,376 are freely transferable without restriction or further
registration under the Act (other than shares held by "affiliates" of the
Company), and the remaining 12,819,600 are "restricted securities". As of June
30, 1996, there are 796,025 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding,
293,075 of which are freely transferable without further registration or
restriction under the Act (other than shares held by "affiliates" of the
Company), and the remaining 502,950 are "restricted securities". The 796,025
shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof are
convertible into 7,960,250 shares of Common Stock. Of such shares of Common
Stock, 2,930,750 would be fully transferable without registration or regulation
under the Act and 5,029,500 would be "restricted securities" within the meaning
of Rule 144.
As set forth in the prior paragraph, there are 12,819,600 shares of
Common Stock and 502,950 shares of Preferred Stock which are "restricted
securities" and cannot be resold without registration, except in reliance upon
Rule 144 or another applicable exemption from registration. Of such Common
Stock, an aggregate of 8,603,675 shares may not be sold or transferred until
December 29,1996. See "Principal Shareholders-Escrow And Cancellation
Arrangements." Subject to such prohibition, during calendar year 1996,
12,539,600 shares of such Common Stock and 152,950 shares of such Preferred
Stock are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. During calendar year 1997,
180,000 shares of Common Stock and 152,950 of Preferred Stock would become
eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. During calendar year 1998, the
45
<PAGE>
remaining 100,000 shares of Common Stock and 180,000 shares of Preferred Stock
would become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. The Company is unable to
predict the effect that sales made under Rule 144 or otherwise may have on the
market price of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock prevailing at the time of
any such sales.
As of June 30, 1996, there are outstanding options to acquire 3,335,000
shares of Common Stock, 220,000 of which are exercisable at $.05 per share,
2,565,000 of which are exercisable at $.25 per share, and 550,000 of which are
exercisable at $.65 per share. There are also outstanding purchase rights to
acquire 157,300 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share. All of such Common
Stock, if issued on the date hereof, would be "restricted securities" as defined
in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. In connection with the options
exercisable at $.25 and $.65 per share, the Company has agreed, at its cost and
expense, to file a registration statement under the Act and applicable state
securities laws covering all of the Common Stock underlying the options before
the end of calendar year 1996. As of June 30, 1996, there are also 1,414,000
shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company to the holders of the outstanding
unexercised 1995 Warrants and 5,200,000 shares of Common Stock issuable by the
Company to the holders of the outstanding unexercised 1996 Warrants. Such Common
Stock, if issued, will be freely tradeable under the Act. See "Description of
Securities."
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are required to be aggregated), including any affiliate of the
Company, who beneficially owns "restricted securities" for a period of at least
two years is entitled to sell within any three-month period, shares equal in
number to the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of the same class
of shares, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the same class of shares
during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the required notice of
sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission.The seller must also comply
with the notice and manner of sale requirements of Rule 144, and there must be
current public information available about the Company. In addition, any person
(or persons whose shares must be aggregated) who is not, at the time of sale,
nor during the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company, and who has
beneficially owned restricted shares for at least three years, can sell such
shares under Rule 144 without regard to the notice, manner of sale, public
information or the volume limitations described above.
Limitation of Liability; Indemnification
As permitted by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988
("BCL"), the Company's By-laws provide that Directors of the Company will not be
personally liable, as such, for monetary damages for any action taken unless the
Director has breached or failed to perform the duties of a Director under the
BCL and the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful
46
<PAGE>
misconduct or recklessness. This limitation of personal liability does not apply
to any responsibility or liability pursuant to any criminal statute, or any
liability for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, State or local law. The
By-laws also include provisions for indemnification of the Company's Directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the BCL. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to
Directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock, Preferred Stock,
1995 Warrants, and 1996 Warrants is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40
Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Common Stock is being registered to permit public secondary trading
of the Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders from time to time after the date
of this Prospectus. The Company has agreed to bear all the expenses (other than
selling commissions) in connection with the registration and sale of the Common
Stock covered by this Prospectus.
The Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this
Prospectus may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders. The sale
of the Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling Shareholders may be effected
in one or more transactions that may take place on the over-the-counter market,
including ordinary brokers' transactions, privately negotiated transactions or
through sales to one or more dealers for resale of such securities as
principals. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or
commissions may be paid by the Selling Shareholders.
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the
Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders will receive
all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock and will pay all
selling commissions, if any, applicable to the sale of the Common Stock. The
Company is responsible for all other expenses incident to the offer and sale of
the Common Stock.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states,
if applicable, the Common Stock will be sold in such jurisdictions
only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In
47
<PAGE>
addition, in certain states, the Common Stock may not be sold unless it has been
registered or qualified for resale by the Selling Shareholder in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is
available and complied with.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the Common Stock has been passed upon for the Company by
Lurio & Associates, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
USA Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of USA Technologies, Inc. (A
Development Stage Corporation) as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended June 30, 1996 and the period January 16, 1992
(inception) through June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of USA Technologies, Inc. at June
30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1996 and for the period January
16, 1992 (inception) through June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming USA
Technologies, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to
the financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations from
its inception and its accumulated deficit through June 30, 1996, raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1996
1. Business
USA Technologies, Inc. a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), was
incorporated on January 16, 1992. In May 1995, the Company changed its name from
USA Entertainment Center, Inc. to USA Technologies, Inc. to more accurately
reflect its business. Substantially all of the Company's activities to date have
been devoted to raising capital, developing markets, and starting up operations.
The Company intends to become the leading provider and licenser of credit card
activated control systems for the vending, copying, debit card, and personal
computer industries. The Company's products make available credit card payment
technology in connection with the sale of various products and services.
Through June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, the Company installed 77 and 42
Credit Card Copy Express(TM) control systems; 24 and 9 Credit Card Debit
Express(TM) control systems, and at June 30, 1996, 21 Computer Express(TM)
control systems at various colleges, universities and public libraries. The
Company generally retains twenty to thirty percent of the gross revenues in
connection with the machines. Through June 30, 1996, the total gross revenues
received by the Company from these systems has been nominal.
The Company has also licensed and installed refreshments centers which utilize
the Credit Card Vending Express(TM) control system. The Company licensed its
Credit Card Vending Express(TM) technology to an apparel manufacturer to be used
in connection with the sale from a vending machine of T-shirts, windbreakers,
and tote bags. The Company generally retains 20% of the gross revenues from such
systems. Through June 30, 1996, the total gross revenues to the Company from
these machines were nominal. Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the apparel
manufacturer terminated its agreement with the Company effective September 30,
1996.

2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company
has been in the development stage since its inception in 1992 and has incurred
losses from operations since its inception through June 30, 1996 amounting to
$6.2 million. The Company's working capital has been substantially reduced due
to operating losses incurred subsequent to June 30, 1996. Such losses are
expected to continue in fiscal year 1997. Additionally, the Company has
implemented a plan to sell its proprietary control systems, and accordingly, the
Company will require additional capital to maintain the required inventory
levels. These factors combined with the significant working capital required in
the future raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken will
provide for the Company to continue as a going concern. Such actions include the
generation of revenues from operations, raising capital from the exercise of the
1995 and 1996 Common Stock purchase warrants, and/or the deferral of anticipated
expenditures in order to satisfactorily meet its obligations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over five to seven years for financial statement purposes
and accelerated methods for income tax reporting purposes.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
License fee revenue is recognized upon the usage of the Company's credit card
activated control systems.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Such
research and development costs amounted to approximately $224,000 and $130,000
for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and approximately
$393,000 for the period January 16, 1992 (date of inception) to June 30, 1996.
These costs are reflected in general and administrative and compensation in the
accompanying financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach
whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for
financial reporting purposes. Such differences result from differences in the
timing of recognition by the Company of certain accrued expenses, and the
periods of amortization and depreciation of certain assets.
Loss Per Common Share
Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. No exercise of stock options, purchase rights,
stock purchase warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock and cumulative
preferred dividends was assumed because the exercise of these securities would
be antidilutive. The 4,365,000 common shares held in escrow (Note 11) are not
considered outstanding for purposes of calculating the loss per common share for
all periods presented.

5. Related Party Transactions
During July 1996, the Company formalized certain agreements with two Directors
of the Company who performed consulting services during fiscal year 1996. During
the year ended June 30, 1996, $98,600 was paid for such services performed.
At June 30, 1996 and 1995, approximately $14,000 and $19,000, respectively, of
the Company's accounts payable are due to several shareholders for various legal
and technical services performed.
6. Commitments
The Company conducts its operations from various facilities under operating
leases. Rental expense under such arrangements was approximately $69,000 and
$72,000, respectively during the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and $233,000
for the period January 16, 1992 (date of inception) to June 30, 1996.
The Company closed its storage facility in Jacksonville, Florida during the year
ended June 30, 1995. Accordingly, a $44,000 charge to operations was recorded
during 1995 representing the future minimum lease payments due under the related
leases net of anticipated sub-lease payments.
During fiscal year 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to lease $34,400
of computer equipment which has been accounted for as a capital lease. This
computer equipment is included in control systems at June 30, 1996. Lease
amortization of $5,700 is included in depreciation expense for the year ended
June 30, 1996.

During February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor
whereby it committed to acquire 250 control system units. As of June 30, 1996,
174 units were received and approximately $99,000 was included in accounts
payable in connection with this obligation. An additional $43,000 will be
payable upon the delivery of the remaining 76 units during fiscal year 1997.
During February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a consulting
firm whereby the Company committed to pay this firm $50,000, and issued 300,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock which were registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company extended its
agreement with this consulting firm providing for the issuance of an additional
250,000 shares of its Common Stock. Through June 30, 1996, $22,000 of the
commitment was paid in accordance with the agreement. An additional $28,000 is
payable at $4,000 per month from July 15, 1996 through January 15, 1997.
The Company has several employment agreements with its officers, none of which
extend beyond one year.

7. Income Taxes
At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company had a net tax operating loss carryforward
of approximately $5,176,000 and $2,565,000, respectively, to offset future
taxable income expiring through 2011. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $2,537,000 and $1,564,000, which
were reduced by a valuation allowance of same amounts. The deferred tax assets
arose primarily from the use of different accounting methods for financial
statement and income tax reporting purposes principally related to the
accounting for preoperating costs and research and development costs and net
operating loss carryforwards.
As of June 30, 1993, the timing and manner in which the Company can utilize
operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions for capitalized items in
any year was limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding
changes in ownership of corporations. The Company believes that such limitation
will have an impact on the ultimate realization of its carryforwards and future
tax deductions (generated through June 30, 1993). Cumulative losses generated
for income tax purposes from June 30, 1994 through June 30, 1996, are not
expected to be subject to the limitation.
8. Preferred Stock
The Preferred Stock authorized may be issued from time to time in one or more
series, each series with such rights, preferences or restrictions as determined
by the Board of Directors. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
right to ten votes and is convertible at any time into ten shares of Common
Stock. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provides for an annual cumulative
dividend of $1.50 per share payable to the shareholders of record on February 1
and August 1 of each year. Cumulative unpaid dividends at June 30, 1996 and 1995
amounted to $1,758,490 and $845,816, respectively. Cumulative unpaid dividends
are convertible into common shares at $1.00 per common share at the option of
the shareholder. During the year ended June 30, 1996, certain holders of the
Preferred Stock converted 20,175 shares into 201,750 shares of Common Stock.
Certain of these shareholders also converted cumulative preferred dividends of
$41,626 into 41,626 shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock may be
called for redemption at the option of the Board of Directors at any time on and
after January 1, 1998 for a price of $11.00 per share plus payment of all
accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event of any liquidation, the holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued shall be entitled to receive $10.00
for each outstanding share plus all cumulative unpaid dividends. If funds are
insufficient for this distribution, the assets available will be distributed
ratably among the preferred shareholders.

9. Stock Transactions
During April 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the increase in the
number of the Company's authorized common stock to 45,000,000 and to increase
the number of designated shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from
700,000 to 1,000,000.
During April 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,300,000
private placement offering of 130 units at a unit price of $10,000 and each unit
included 40,000 1996 Common Stock purchase warrants and 1,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 1996, all 130 units were sold,
generating net proceeds of $1,249,264 ($1,300,000 less offering costs of
$50,736). During August 1996, the Company filed a Registration Statement Form
SB-2 to register the Common Stock underlying the 1996 Common Stock purchase
warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 5,200,000 1996
warrants issued are exercisable at any time on or before May 31, 2001, unless
such date is extended by the Company. Each warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one share of Common Stock for $.40 through December 31, 1996 and for
$.50 at any time thereafter through May 31, 2001. The exercise price of the 1996
warrants may be reduced by the Company at any time, or from time to time. At
June 30, 1996 there are 5,200,000 1996 warrants outstanding.
During February 1996, the Company filed a Registration Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an agreement with a
consulting company whereby the Company issued and registered for sale 300,000
shares of its Common Stock in exchange for consulting and advisory services to
be rendered to the Company. A charge of $183,000, reflecting the estimated fair
value of the shares issued, is recorded in general and administrative expenses
in connection with this agreement.
During February 1996, the Company sold 50,000 shares of its Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock for $200,000 to a private investment company pursuant to
Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.
During June 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,500,000
private placement offering of 150 units at a unit price of $10,000 and each unit
included 30,000 1995 Common Stock purchase warrants and 1,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 1995, 24.9 units were sold
generating net proceeds of $206,382. During July 1995, the Company obtained
approval to extend the private placement offering to $1,700,000 and 170 units.
This private placement offering closed on July 31, 1995 and a total of 170 units
F-17

9. Stock Transactions (continued)
were sold generating net proceeds of $1,647,567 ($1,700,000 less offering costs
of $52,433). The subscriptions receivable at June 30, 1995 recorded in
connection with this offering were received during July 1995. The 1995 Common
Stock purchase warrants are exercisable at any time on or before January 31,
2001, unless such date is extended by the Company. Each warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $.50. The exercise price of the
1995 warrants may be reduced by the Company at any time, or from time to time.
During the period February 1996 through April 1996, 271,000 of the 1995 Common
Stock purchase warrants were exercised at a reduced amount of $.40 per warrant
generating gross proceeds of $108,400. Subsequent to April 30, 1996, the
exercise price of the 1995 warrants was further reduced to $.30 until June 30,
1996. Such further reduction was made retroactive to those holders who had
already exercised the 1995 warrants at $.40. Accordingly, the Company returned
$27,100 to such holders. Subsequent to April 30, 1996 and through June 30, 1996,
2,814,000 of the 1995 warrants had been exercised at $.30. Through June 30,
1996, a total of 3,686,000 1995 warrants had been exercised for a total gross
proceeds to the Company of $1,105,800. Of this amount, $106,350 was not received
as of June 30, 1996 and is accordingly reflected as a subscription receivable
(Note 12). At June 30, 1996, the Company had 1,414,000 of 1995 Common Stock
purchase warrants outstanding.
During May 1995, the Company's shareholders approved the payment of a stock
dividend of 3 shares of Common Stock, for each outstanding share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on August 1, 1995. The
effects of this stock dividend have been reflected in shareholders' equity in
the accompanying financial statements as if the stock dividend had occurred on
June 30, 1995 for the 636,200 Series A Convertible shares issued and outstanding
on June 30, 1995.
During May 1995, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8,
pursuant to which 250,000 (subsequently amended to 280,000) shares of Common
Stock will be issued to a consultant in consideration for services rendered for
the period April 1, 1995 through August 31, 1995. During the years ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, the Company issued 150,000 and 130,000, respectively, shares
under this agreement. Professional fees of $64,205 and $99,750, respectively,
were charged to operations during the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
representing the estimated fair value of the shares issued.

During December 1993, the Company commenced an offering of public securities in
an effort to raise, before offering costs, a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum
of $3,000,000. The offering permitted a minimum of 50,000 units or a maximum of
300,000 units at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of 1 share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and 7 shares of Common Stock. The offering
terminated on February 28, 1995 and, a total of 300,000 units were sold
generating net proceeds of $ 2,345,104 ($3,000,000 less offering costs of
$654,896).
During October 1992, the Company's Board of Directors authorized private
offering of $2,000,000 for up to 200 units at a unit price of $10,000 which
includes 30,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. The Company allocated $9.97 per share to the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock due to the Preferred Stock's senior position. The
private offering closed on June 30, 1993 from which the Company issued 142.2
units and raised $1,270,254 of net proceeds ($1,422,000 less offering costs of
$151,746).
During July 1993, the Company granted 157,300 Common Stock purchase rights at
$1.00 per share to certain consultants and to a broker dealer in connection with
this private placement offering. These rights were immediately vested and are
exercisable for a period of five years.
During July 1992, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,500,000
private placement offering of 150 units of Common and Preferred Stock. The
offering was canceled effective September 1992. Approximately $50,000 of costs
incurred in connection with the canceled offering were charged to operations
during the year ended June 30, 1993.
10. Stock Options

value. During June 1995, the Company issued 10,000 options at $.25 per share

11. Escrow and Cancellation Arrangements
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

shares by the President of the Company during June 1994, March 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 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,

own. Additionally, the President of the Company has agreed that his 4,365,000
escrowed common shares would be canceled by the Company and would no longer be
issued and outstanding unless certain performance measures as specified by the
Commission are achieved. If the performance measures are achieved, the common
shares released from escrow will result in a compensatory charge to the
Company's operations. The charge will be based on the fair value of the
Company's common shares on the date the shares are released from escrow. During
the year ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, there was no such charge to operations.
The 4,365,000 shares of Common Stock held by the President are not considered
outstanding for purposes of calculating the loss per common share for all
periods presented.
12. Subsequent Events
During July 1996, the Company granted options to an employee to purchase up to
100,000 shares of Common Stock at $.65 per share. These options vest at the rate
of 12,500 every three months over a two-year period. The Board of Directors
determined the options price to be granted at or above the fair market value of
the underlying common shares on the date of grant.
During August 1996, the Company granted fully vested options to a consultant to
purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at $.50 per share. The Board of Directors
determined the option price of the underlying shares to be at or above the fair
market value on the date of grant.
During August 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the issuance of
265,000 shares of Common Stock to two consultants.
On September 10, 1996, the Company received $106,350 of subscriptions receivable
relating to the 1995 Common Stock Purchase warrants exercised as described in

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

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