SafeHarborStatement . All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward- looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to, business, financial, market and economic conditions and the outcome of the pending proxy contest. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in USA’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Form 10-Q report for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which you will find on our website, www.usatech.com, under the “Investor Relations” tab and USAT’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on May 18, 2012. Undue reliance should not be placed on any such forward looking statement, which speak only as of the time they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. . Non-GAAP Information: This presentation will include a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP financial measure which we believe is useful for an understanding of our ongoing operations. This non-GAAP financial measure is supplemental to, and not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures such as net income or loss. Details of these items and a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP financial measures can be found in this presentation and in our Form 10-Q report for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 which is on our website, www.usatech.com, under the “Investor Relations” tab.

Appendix 23
Non-GAAPReconciliation Adjusted EBITDA ------- ----- - . Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and change in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock -based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-operating item, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, because it represents a non-cash charge that is not related to USA Technologies' (USAT) operations. We have excluded the non-cash expenses, stock-based compensation, as it does not reflect the cash-based operations of USAT. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measured prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net income or net loss of USAT or net cash used in operating activities. Management recognizes that non- GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with USAT's net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for or a measure of USAT's profitability or net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because USAT believes it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense.
