USA Technologies Comments on Extension Request of Form 10-K

USA Technologies (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ:USAT) ("USAT"), a leader of wireless, cashless payment and M2M/IoT solutions for small-ticket, self-serve retailing industries, announced that it anticipates filing its 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 on October 1, 2015. On September 29, 2015, it filed for an extension because the company determined that it was not able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 (the "Form 10-K") within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.

The change disclosed in its 10-K extension filing yesterday only impacts the financial results for the year and quarter ended June 30, 2015 which were included in the press release of September 10, 2015. It does not alter revenue or connection data for fiscal 2015. A summary of the changes are shown in the table below:

Today the company reaffirmed that for fiscal 2016, it expects to add more than 75,000 net new connections and expects total revenue to be between $69 million and $71 million.

The extension request is attributable to a process the company's management undertook to assess the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. Based on its assessment, management identified deficiencies in both the design and operating effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting, which when aggregated represent a material weakness in internal control.

The most significant of these was the process over the reconcilement, analysis and management oversight of certain customer accounts receivable balances related to customer processing and service fees. The procedure in place did not identify a large number of small balance accounts that may be uncollectible and were not appropriately dispositioned, collected, remediated, reserved for and/or written-off.
