SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10‑K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. For this purpose, forward-looking statements are any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to, those preceded by or that include the words, “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intend,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projected,” or similar expressions. Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected, include, for example:
general economic, market or business conditions unrelated to our operating performance, including the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the Company's operations, financial condition, and the demand for the Company’s products and services;
failure to comply with the financial covenants of our credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. entered into on August 14, 2020;
the ability of the Company to raise funds in the future through sales of securities or debt financing in order to sustain its operations in the normal course of business or if an unexpected or unusual event would occur;
the ability of the Company to compete with its competitors to obtain market share;
whether the Company’s current or future customers purchase, lease, rent or utilize ePort devices or our other products in the future at levels currently anticipated by our Company;
whether the Company’s customers continue to utilize the Company’s transaction processing and related services, as our customer agreements are generally cancelable by the customer on thirty to sixty days’ notice;
the ability of the Company to satisfy its trade obligations included in accounts payable and accrued expenses;
the ability of the Company to sell to third party lenders all or a portion of our finance receivables, or to do so in a timely manner;
the ability of a sufficient number of our customers to utilize third party financing companies under our QuickStart program in order to improve our net cash used by operating activities;
the incurrence by us of any unanticipated or unusual non-operating expenses which would require us to divert our cash resources from achieving our business plan;
the ability of the Company to predict or estimate its future quarterly or annual revenue and expenses given the developing and unpredictable market for its products;
the ability of the Company to retain key customers from whom a significant portion of its revenue are derived;
the ability of a key customer to reduce or delay purchasing products from the Company;
the ability of the Company to obtain widespread commercial acceptance of its products and service offerings such as ePort QuickConnect, mobile payment and loyalty programs;
whether any patents issued to the Company will provide the Company with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for its products, or would be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others;
the ability of the Company to operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others;
the ability of our products and services to avoid unauthorized hacking or credit card fraud;
whether we are able to fully remediate our material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021 or continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting in the future, and are not able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations;
whether our suppliers would increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale;
whether the listing application for the Company’s securities which has been filed by the Company with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) will be granted in a timely manner; and
the risks associated with the currently pending litigation or possible regulatory action arising from the internal investigation conducted by the Audit Committee in fiscal year 2019 and its findings (the “2019 Investigation”), from the failure to timely file our periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, from the restatement of the affected
financial statements, from allegations related to the registration statement for the follow-on public offering, or from potential litigation or other claims arising from the shareholder demands for derivative action.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Actual results or business conditions may differ materially from those projected or suggested in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those described above and in thePart I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10‑K. We cannot assure you that we have identified all the factors that create uncertainties. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10‑K speaks only as of the date of this Form 10‑K. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Form 10‑K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Financial Information Included in this Form 10-K
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 contains our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, which have not previously been filed, as well as restatements of the following previously filed consolidated financial statements: (i) our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017; (ii) our selected financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 contained in Item 6 of this Form 10-K; (iii) our selected financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 contained in Item 6 of this Form 10-K; (iv) our selected financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 contained in Item 6 of this Form 10-K; and (v) our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, in Note 20, “Unaudited Quarterly Data” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, located in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
We have not filed and do not intend to file amendments to any of our previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatements of our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, as disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2019, and October 9, 2019, the consolidated financial statements contained in these previously filed financial reports, including any related press releases, earnings releases, management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, or investor communications should no longer be relied upon.
We have not filed and do not intend to file a separate Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Concurrent with this filing, we are filing our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2018, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2019 (the “Fiscal Year 2019 Form 10-Qs”).
We have not timely filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and the Fiscal Year 2019 Form 10-Qs as a result of the internal investigation of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) and the subsequent restatement of certain of our prior period financial statements as more fully described below.
As previously reported, our common stock and preferred stock were suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) effective September 26, 2019 as a result of our inability to remain current in our SEC reporting obligations. Pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules, we intend to request that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council review the determination of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to delist our securities. During the appeal period and the appeals process, trading in the Company’s securities on Nasdaq will remain suspended, and Nasdaq will not take further action to delist the Company’s securities. Following the suspension of trading in its securities on Nasdaq, the Company’s securities have been quoted on the OTC Markets.
Audit Committee Investigation and Subsequent Restatement
On September 11, 2018, the Company announced that the Audit Committee with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, was in the process of conducting an internal investigation of current and prior period matters relating to certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements. The Audit Committee’s investigation focused principally on certain customer transactions entered into by the Company during fiscal years 2017 and 2018.
On January 14, 2019, the Company reported that the Audit Committee’s internal investigation was substantially completed, the principal findings of the internal investigation, and the remedial actions to be implemented by the Company as a result of the internal investigation. The Audit Committee proposed certain adjustments to previously reported revenues related to fiscal quarters occurring during the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years of the Company.
On February 1, 2019, the Company’s former registered public accounting firm ("independent auditor") notified the Audit Committee of its resignation. The former independent auditor also indicated that reliance should not be placed on: (i) the Report of Independent Public Accounting Firm dated August 22, 2017 relating to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017; and (ii) the completed interim reviews for the periods ended September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018. The former independent auditor also recalled its previously issued audit report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
On February 4, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, and based upon the adjustments to previously reported revenues proposed by the Audit Committee, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017; and (2) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018.
On March 8, 2019, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the same date.
Non-Investigatory Adjustments Resulting From Financial Reporting Issues Identified During the Audit Process
During the audit process, significant financial reporting issues were identified by current management, including our new interim Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), and our new independent auditor, which were unrelated to the internal investigation and which resulted in further adjustments to the Company’s previously issued or prior fiscal years’ unissued financial statements. These issues were primarily due to the lack of supporting documentation for various historical accounting reserves and policies, failure to adequately and consistently complete the financial integration of Cantaloupe, and the inadequate performance of our internal controls during the 2019 fiscal year.
Based upon these non-investigatory adjustments, on October 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015; (2) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; and (3) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017.
The non-investigatory adjustments relate to revenue recognition, deferred income tax accounting, sales tax reserves, reserves for bad debts, inventory reserves, sale-leaseback accounting, balance sheet classification of preferred stock, and various other matters.
For more information regarding the aforementioned restatements and adjustments, refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements”, Note 20, “Unaudited Quarterly Data” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, and Item 9A. of this Form 10-K.
USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
PART I
Item 1. Business.
OVERVIEW
USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, “USAT”, or “Our”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. We are a provider of technology-enabled integrated solutions including wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring and other value-added services that facilitate electronic payment transactionspayments primarily within the unattended point of sale (“POS”) market. We are a leading provider in the small ticket beverage and food vending industry in the United States and are expanding our solutions and services in other unattended and self-service market segments, such as amusement, commercial laundry, air/vac, car wash, kiosk and others. Since our founding, we have designed and marketed systems, devices and solutions that facilitate electronic payment options, as well as telemetry and services facilitated by the Internet of Things (“IoT”), which include the ability to remotely monitor, control, and report on the health and performance of distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions. Historically, these distributed assets have relied on cash for payment in the form of coins or bills, whereas, ourOur systems allow themdistributed assets to accept cashless payments such as through the use of credit orcards, debit cards, or other emerging contactless forms, such as mobile payment.
On November 9, 2017, we acquired Cantaloupe Systems, Inc. (“Cantaloupe”), a premier provider of cloud and mobile solutions for the self-service retail market, in a transaction valued at approximately $88 million, consisting of $65 million in cashpayments and $23 million in shares of our common stock. The acquisition expanded our existing cashless payment and asset monitoring platform to ansupport end-to-end logistics and enterprise platform by integrating Cantaloupe’s Seedwith cloud-based software services which providefor advanced operational analytics, dynamic routeoperational scheduling, automated pre-kitting, proactive malfunction management, responsive merchandising, inventory management, warehouse purchasing and accounting management. We believe that the services we obtained as a result of the acquisition are highly complementary, value-added cloud-based and mobile services, which we are now cross-selling to our existing customer base. As a result of the Cantaloupe acquisition, we acquired approximately 1,400 new customers and 270,000 new connections to our service.
We derive the majority of our revenues from license and transaction fees resulting from connections to,transactions on, as well as services provided by, our ePort Connect service.Connect™ and Seed™ software services. These services include cashless payment, loyalty programs, inventory management, route logistics optimization, warehouse and accounting management, and responsive merchandising. Connections toDevices operating on the Company’s servicecompany’s platform and using our services include those resulting from the sale or lease of our POS electronic payment devices, telemetry devices or certified payment software or the servicing of similar third-party installed POS terminals or telemetry devices. The majority of ePort Connect customers pay a monthly fee plus a blended transaction rate on the transaction dollar volume processed by the Company. Connections toTransactions on the ePort Connect service, therefore, are the most significant driver of the Company’s revenues, particularly revenues from software license and transaction fees.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately 1,169,000 connections to its ePort Connect and Seed services, compared to approximately 1,028,000 connections to the ePort Connect service as of June 30, 2018, representing a 14% increase.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019,2020, the Company processed approximately 881.1 million cashless transactions totaling approximately $1.7 billion in transaction dollars, representing a 4.0% increase in transaction volume and a 5.0% increase in dollars processed from the 847.2 million cashless transactions totaling approximately $1.6 billion in transaction dollars, representing a 35% increase in transaction volume and a 38% increase in dollars processed from the 627.2 million cashless transactions totaling approximately $1.2 billion during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019.
The Company counts a telemeter and/or cashless payment device (for example, an ePort cashless payment device or Seed telemeter) as a connection upon shipment of an activated device to a customer under contract, at which time the device is capable of transmitting cashless payment and other data to USALive, the Company’s online reporting platform, or utilizing the Seed management services.
The Company counts a self-service retail location that does not utilize our telemeter and/or cashless payment device as a connection upon (i) receipt of notice from a customer under contract of a location that has been enabled with our API software, and (ii) our subsequent activation of the location on our platform which enables the location to utilize our payment transaction and logistics management services.
A connection to our device does not necessarily mean that our telemeter or cashless payment device has already been installed by the customer at a location, or has begun accepting and transmitting payment transactions, or has actually begun utilizing management services, or that the Company has begun receiving monthly service fees in connection with the device. Likewise, a non-device connection does not necessarily mean that the location has begun transmitting payment transactions, or has actually begun utilizing
the management services, or that the Company has begun receiving monthly service fees. Rather, at the time of shipment of the device or the activation of the non-device location on our platform, the customer becomes obligated to pay the one-time activation fee (if applicable), and is obligated to pay monthly service fees and lease payments (if applicable) in accordance with the terms of the customer’s contract with the Company.
A self-service retail location that utilizes an ePort cashless payment device as well as Seed management services constitutes only one connection.
Our customer contracts provide that the customer may deactivate a device or a non-device location, as the case may be, from our platform by prior notice to us (generally thirty to sixty days). We will no longer count an existing connection as a connection following the receipt of instructions from the customer to deactivate the device or non-device location, as the case may be, upon the expiration of the applicable notice period, provided that the notice is in accordance with the terms of the customer contract. A previously installed telemeter or cashless payment system that is no longer being utilized by our customer is considered and reported as an existing connection unless and until the customer provides the appropriate notice under the contract and the applicable notice period has expired.
The above charts show the increases over the last five fiscal years in the number of connections,transactions, revenues and the dollar value of transactions handled by us. The vertical bars depict total revenues, segmented by license and transaction and Seed services fees and equipment revenues. The solid lines depictbottom chart depicts the number of connections totransactions on our ePort Connect and Seed services and the dollar value of transactions handled by us,the Company, as of the end of each of the last five fiscal years. Since 2016, the number of transactions processed annually increased by 31.1%, 51.2%, 35.1%, and 4.0% year-over-year for fiscal years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. Over the same period, revenues have increased 30.8%, 30.6%, 9.0%, and 12.9%, with a 5-year compound annual growth rate of 16.0%. Our 2020 results were impacted by COVID-19 as discussed later in this section.
Our cashless solutions and services have been designed to simplify the transition to cashless payments for traditionally cash-only based businesses. As such, they are turn-key and include our comprehensive ePort Connect service and POS electronic payment devices or certified payment software, which are able to process traditional magnetic stripe credit and debit cards, contactless credit and debit cards and mobile payments. Standard services through ePort Connect are maintained on our proprietary operating systems and include merchant account setup on behalf of the customer, automatic processing and settlement, sales reporting and 24x7 customer support. Other value-added services that customers can choose from include cashless deployment planning, cashless performance review, loyalty products and services, and vending management solutions. Our solutions also provide flexibility to execute a variety of payment applications on a single system, transaction security, connectivity options, compliance with certification standards, and centralized, accurate, real-time sales and inventory data to manage distributed assets (wireless telemetry and IoT). The ePort® Interactive, which was unveiled in April 2016, is a cloud-based interactive media and content delivery management system and enables deliveryInternet of nutritional information, remote refunds, loyalty programs, and multimedia-marketing campaigns for the unattended and self-serve retail markets.Things (“IoT”)). Our Seed services complement our cashless services and provide customers with advanced
operational analytics, dynamic route scheduling, automated pre-kitting, proactive equipment malfunction management, responsive merchandising, inventory management, warehouse purchasing, and accounting management.
Our customers range from global food service organizations to small businesses that operate primarily in the self-serve, small ticket retail markets including beverage and food vending, amusement and arcade machines, smartphones via our ePort Online solution, commercial laundry, and various other self-serve kiosk applications as well as equipment developers or manufacturers who incorporate our ePort Connect service into their product offerings.
We believe that we have a history of being a market leader in cashless payments and software-based back office services for the unattended market with a recognized brand name, a value-added proposition for our customers and a reputation of innovation in our products and services. We believe that these attributes position us to capitalize on industry trends.
COVID-19
A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in China in December 2019 and subsequently declared a global pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 containment measures began in parts of the United States in March 2020 resulting in forced closure of non-essential businesses and social distancing protocols. COVID-19 has impacted our business, significantly reducing foot traffic to distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions and reducing discretionary spending by consumers. The Company did not observe meaningful reductions in processing volume until mid-March, when average daily processing volume decreased approximately 40%. By mid-April, processing volumes began to recover and have shown a steady improvement by approximately 30% over the mid-March levels. At this time, we have observed geographic disparities in containment measures and are unable to reasonably estimate the length of time that these measures will be in effect in the United States. Furthermore, even after containment measures are lifted there can be no assurance as to the time required to regain operations and sales at levels prior to the pandemic.
In January 2016,response to the outbreak and business disruption, first and foremost, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees by implementing work-from-home measures while continuing to serve our customers. Additionally, we have created an internal task force to lead measures to protect the business in light of the volatility and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including ensuring the safety of our employees and our community by implementing work from home policies, conserving liquidity, evaluating cost saving actions, partnering with customers to position USAT for renewed growth post crisis, and pausing on international expansion. The liquidity conservation and cost savings initiatives include but are not limited to: a 20% salary reduction for the senior leadership team until December 2020; deferral of all cash-based director fees until calendar year 2021; a temporary furlough of about 10% of our employee base; negotiations with and concessions from vendors in regard to cost reductions and/or payment deferrals; an increased collection effort to reduce outstanding accounts receivables; and various supply chain/inventory improvements. Our supply chain network has not been significantly disrupted and we are continuously monitoring it for the impact of COVID-19.
We have agreed to concessions on price and/or payment terms with certain customers who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and may negotiate additional concessions on price and/or payment terms. These concessions did not have a material impact on our financial results as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020.
We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company acquiredcannot reasonably estimate the cloud-based content deliveryimpacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, based on current trends and if the pandemic is not substantially contained in the near future, COVID-19 may have a material adverse impact on our revenue growth as well as our overall profitability in fiscal year 2021, and may lead to higher sales-related, inventory-related, and operating reserves. Further, a sustained downturn may also result in a decrease in the fair value of our goodwill or other intangible assets, causing them to exceed their carrying value. This may require us to recognize an impairment to those assets.
Definition of a connection
Management believes that connections provide insight into trends and relationships about the Company’s strategy of driving growth. The Company counts a telemeter and/or cashless payment device (for example, an ePort cashless payment device or Seed telemeter) as a connection upon shipment of an activated device to a customer under contract, at which time the device is capable of transmitting cashless payment and other data to USALive, the Company’s online reporting platform, or utilizing the Seed management services.
The Company counts a self-service retail location that does not utilize our telemeter and/or cashless payment device as a connection upon (i) receipt of notice from a customer under contract of a location that has been enabled with our API software, and (ii) our
subsequent activation of the location on our platform which enables the location to utilize our payment transaction and products,logistics management services.
A connection to our device does not necessarily mean that our telemeter or cashless payment device has already been installed by the customer base,at a location, or has begun accepting and intellectual property of VendScreen, Inc. of Portland, Oregon. In addition to new technology andtransmitting payment transactions, or has actually begun utilizing management services, this acquisition, in addition to the acquisition of Cantaloupe in November 2017, has added an extended operational footprint foror that the Company providing greater efficiencieshas begun receiving monthly service fees in operational performance, expanded customerconnection with the device. Likewise, a non-device connection does not necessarily mean that the location has begun transmitting payment transactions, or has actually begun utilizing the management services, sales and technical support toor that the Company’s customer base. As a resultCompany has begun receiving monthly service fees. Rather, at the time of shipment of the acquisition,device or the Company addedactivation of the non-device location on our platform, the customer becomes obligated to its product linepay the one-time activation fee (if applicable), and is obligated to pay monthly service fees and lease payments (if applicable) in accordance with the terms of the customer’s contract with the Company.
A self-service retail location that utilizes an interactive media, content deliveryePort cashless payment device as well as Seed management services constitutes only one connection.
Our customer contracts provide that the customer may deactivate a device or a non-device location, as the case may be, from our platform by prior notice to us (generally thirty to sixty days). We will no longer count an existing connection as a connection following the receipt of instructions from the customer to deactivate the device or non-device location, as the case may be, upon the expiration of the applicable notice period, provided that the notice is in accordance with the terms of the customer contract. A previously installed telemeter or cashless payment system including a vending application that is no longer being utilized by our customer is considered and reported as an existing connection unless and until the customer provides consumer product information, including nutritional data. The technology is NFC-enabledthe appropriate notice under the contract and compatible with mobile wallets including Apple Pay and Google Pay, and supports instant refunds, couponing, advertising and real-time consumer feedback to the owner and operator.applicable notice period has expired.
THE INDUSTRY
We operate primarily in the small ticket electronic payments and vending management industry and, more specifically, the broad unattended POS market. We provide our customers the ability to accept cashless payment “on the go” through mobile-based payment services. Our solutions and services facilitate electronic payments in industries that have traditionally reliedused to rely on cash transactions, andallowing our customers to simplify inventory, warehouse, logistics, and accounting management. We believe the following industry trends are driving growth in demand for electronic payment systems and advanced logistics management in general and more specifically within the markets we serve:
Ongoing shiftShift toward electronic payment transactions and away from cash and checks;digital payments accelerating as consumers move to adopt contactless payments;
IncreasingIncrease in consumer demand for electronic transaction functionality from both consumers and merchant/operators;non-traditional items in unattended retail;
Improving POS technology and NFC equipped mobile phone payment technology; and
Increasing demand for business efficiency through modern, cloud basedcloud-based logistics and inventory management systems.
Shift toward electronic payment transactions andToward Digital Payments Accelerating as Consumers Move to Adopt Contactless Payments.
There is an ongoing behavioral shift away from cash and checks
There has been an ongoing shift away fromusing paper-based methods of payment, including cash and checks, towards that of electronic-based (digital) methods of payment. AccordingCOVID-19 is accelerating the move to The Nilson Report, August 2018, during 2017, three card-based systems-credit, debit,a cashless-preferred economy. In a recent study analyzing 120,000 cashless terminals from January to July 2020, USAT found that cashless payments were accelerating at a rapid pace, with contactless payments driving much of that growth. In January 2020, 53.1% of total sales were made with cashless payments, and
prepaid global general-purpose cards from U.S. issuers-generated $5.55 trillion in purchase volume for goods and services, and purchases on commercial cards increased 8.8%. Consumer card purchase volume was up 7.7%. Employees by July, 61.7% of private companies, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations using credit and debit cards, as well as consumers using various prepaid products (payroll, government benefits, insurance payouts, disaster relief, and more) generated $1.242 trillion in commercial card purchase volume. This was 22.37% of combined commercial and consumer card purchase volume in 2017. That market share was an increase from 22.19% in 2016.
Increase in Consumer and Merchant/Operator Demand for Electronic Payments
Increase in Consumer Demand. The unattended, vending and kiosk POS market has historically been dominated by cash purchases. However, oftentimes, where purchases can only betotal sales were made by cash at unattended POS locations, the requirement represents a cumbersome transaction for the consumer because they do not have the correct monetary value (paper or coin), or the consumer does not have the ability to convert their bills into coins. We believe electronic payment system providers such as the Company that can meet consumers’ demand within the unattended market will be able to offer retailers, card associations, card issuers and payment processors and business owners an expanding value proposition at the POS. Based upon our survey of selected vending machines connected to our service, we estimate that average annualwith cashless sales per machine increased by approximately 53% over the first twelve months following cashless deployment, and cashless salespayments - with contactless payments growing 51% as a percentage of total machine sales (cashlesscashless payments. In the seven months during this study, USAT has seen contactless payments grow eight times as fast as non-contactless payments, showing that contactless payments are giving consumers a safe, secure and cash) increasedeasy way to buy goods and services.
Increase in Consumer Demand for Non-Traditional Items in Unattended Retail.
As Millennials and the first members of Generation Z take a greater share of the workforce and influence in retail, a study released in February 2020 by 16% from thosePYMNTS and USA Technologies found that these younger generations are bringing greater opportunities for retailers to sell non-traditional, higher ticket items such as consumer electronics through unattended channels. According to the Future of such prior twelve-month period. In addition, average consumer purchases duringUnattended Retail Study, which queried more than 2,300 people across the recent twelve-month period in which the consumer utilized a credit or debit cardUnited States, 35% of Millennials and 29% of Generation Z would be willing to spend more if non-traditional products were approximately 38% higher than purchases where the consumer utilized cash.offered.
Increase in Merchant/Operator Demand for Electronic Payments.
We believe that, increasingly, merchants and operators of unattended payment locations (e.g., vending machines, laundry, tabletop games, etc.) are utilizing electronic payment alternatives, with an emphasis on contactless transactions due to COVID-19 impacts on how consumers pay, as a means to improve business results. The Company works with its customers to help them drive increased revenue of their distributed assets through this expanded market opportunity. In addition, electronic payment systems can provide merchants and operators real-time sales and inventory data utilized for back-office reporting and forecasting, like the Company’s Seed solutions and services, helping them to manage their business more efficiently.
Increase in Demand for Integrated Payment Solutions. Solutions.
As unattended retailers look to diversify their business and offer more than one business line, an integrated solution becomes critical to operating with full visibility, control and manageable growth across their POS network. According to the 2018 Industry Census conducted by the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA), 62% of owners of unattended retail businesses, were “blended,” offering more than one business line.
We believe that merchants have come to value payment solutions that are integrated or bundled with other solutions and software. Offering an integrated solution allows us to provide a single-source solution forAs described earlier under Overview, our customers, and results in better customer retention and a better overall experience for our customers. Our recent acquisition of Cantaloupe allows us toSeed services provide an end-to-end enterprise solution to our customers, which includes advanced operational analytics, dynamic route scheduling, automated pre-kitting, proactive equipment malfunction management, responsive merchandising, inventory management, warehouse purchasing, and accounting management.customers. We also view our integrated solutions as a significant competitive advantage as competitors will need fully integrated solutions to compete.over the competition.
Increase in Demand for Networked Assets.Assets.
IoT technology includes capturing value from wireless modules and electronic devices to improve business productivity and customer service. In addition, networked assets can provide valuable information regarding consumers’ purchasing patterns and payment preferences, allowing operators to more effectively tailor their offerings to consumers. In February 2017, Gartner, Inc. forecastedOur services connect offline machines and devices and bring intelligence and operating efficiencies to the device and operator through our value-added services.
COVID-19’s Impact to Creating More Contactless Experiences in Unattended Retail.
COVID-19 has created increased awareness to consumers around contactless payments to provide easy, safe and secure ways of transacting in both retail and unattended retail. According to a Mastercard consumer study conducted in April 2020, 79% of respondents worldwide say they are now using contactless payments. Mastercard also reported that worldwide, connected things would reach 20.4 billion bycontactless transactions grew twice as fast as non-contactless transactions in the grocery and drug store categories between February and March 2020.
POS Technology Along with the rise of digital payments, we believe that while COVID-19 presents challenges for many industries, it is creating opportunities in unattended retail. With many hospital cafeterias closed and NFC Equipped Mobile Phone Payment Improvements
Near Field Communication (“NFC”) ishuman contact fraught due to the COVID-19 pandemic, healthy vending machine companies are stepping in to fill the void, reported Eater.com. Vending machines are also becoming a short range wireless connectivity technology that uses electromagnetic radio fieldsdestination to enable communication between devices when there is a physical touch, or when theyprovide personal protective equipment products directly to consumers; airports are within close proximityquickly adopting machines to one another.provide consumers easy and safe access to masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, wipes, etc. We believe thatPOS contactless terminals that are enabled to accept NFCcontactless and mobile payments and digital wallet applications, such as Google Wallet, Chase Pay, Apple Pay, Android Pay, and others, stand to benefit from these evolving trends in mobile payment. DigitalMobile payments include digital wallet is essentially a digital service, accessed via the web or a mobile phone application that serves as a substitute forapplications, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and others, which are popular alternatives to the traditional credit or debit card. Providers can also market directlycard, providing alternate security protocols and a safe way for consumers to targeted consumers with coupons and loyalty programs.
As approximately 792,000 of the Company’s connections are contactless enabled to accept NFC payments (in addition to magnetic stripe cards) as of June 30, 2019, we believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from this emerging space.pay.

SPECIFIC MARKETS WE SERVE
Our current customers are primarily in the self-serve, small ticket retail markets in North America, including beverage and food vending and kiosk, commercial laundry, car wash, tolls, amusement and gaming, air and vacuum services, and office coffee. We estimate that there are approximately 1316 million to 1518 million potential connections in this self-serve, small ticket retail market.market in North America. The 1,320,000 connections to our service as of June 30, 2020 constitute 7% of these potential connections, compared to 1,169,000 connections to our service as of June 30, 2019, constitute 8% of these potential connections, compared to 1,028,000 connections to our service as of June 30, 2018, which constituted 7%6% of these potential connections. While these industry sectors represent only a small fraction of our total market potential, as described below, these are the areas where we have gained the most traction to date. In addition to being our current primary markets, we believe these sectors serve as a proof-of-concept for other unattended POS industry applications.
Vending. According to the 2018 Census of the Convenience Services Industry conducted by Technomic for NAMA, the convenience services industry, which consists of vending machines, micro markets, office coffee service (OCS) and pantry services, is estimated to represent a total annual revenue of $26 billion, a 4% increase since 2016. The Census found that while the vending segment of the convenience services industry continued to contract (-3% since 2016), micro markets, OCS and pantry service segments have more than made up for the shortfall. According to the Census, micro markets continued their rapid expansion, with revenues growing 99% over the previous two years, while OCS grew at 7%. The Company believes these machines represent a significant market opportunity for electronic payment conversion when compared to the Company’s existing ePort Connect service base and the overall low rate of industry adoption to date. For example, in another study conducted by Automatic Merchandiser (State(2019 State of the Vending Industry June 2015)Report) that included a representative 5.12.1 million machines, cashless adoption was estimated at only 11%59% in 2014.2018. Connected vending machines using telemeters to collect data are now used by 41% of respondents, which is an increase from the last two years, reported Automatic Merchandiser - showing opportunity to remove manual processes with technology solutions. With the continued shift to electronic payments and the advancement in mobile and POS technology, we believe that the traditional beverage and food vending industry will continue to look to cashless payments and telemetry systems to improve their business results.
Kiosk. The second annualkiosk industry posted its third consecutive year of double-digit growth in 2019, according to the 2020 Kiosk Market Census Report found thatwhich is published annually. Kiosk sales jumped 17.9% in 2019, closely aligning to the growth rates discussed in the previous two years of global interactive kiosksthe report and showing continuous adoption of self-service technology by consumers. Interactive kiosk sales - not countingexcluding automated teller, refreshment and amusement vending machines ATMs and mounted tablets - reached $9.2totaled an estimated $11.9 billion in 2019, marking an 18 percent 1-year gain and surpassing the prior year's growth rate.2019. We believe that kiosks are becoming increasingly popular as credit, debit or contactless payment options enable kiosks to sell an increased variety of items. In addition, the study points to rising mobile commerce and improved IoT technology as driving growth in self-service markets, similar to the increasing trend toward self-sufficiency, where time isfactors discussed in the most important commodityprevious two years of the consumer.report. As merchants continue to seek new ways to reach their customers through kiosk applications, we believe the need for a reliable cashless payment provider experienced with machine integration, PCI compliance and cashless payment services designed specifically for the unattended market will be of increasing value in this market. Our
existing kiosk customers integrate with our cashless payment services via our QuickConnect Web service using one of our encrypted readers or ePort POS technologies.
Laundry. Our primary targetsopportunities in laundry consist of the coin-operated commercial laundry and multi-housing laundry markets. According to the Coin Laundry Association, the U.S. commercial laundry industry is comprised of about 29,500 coin laundries in the U.S., with an estimated gross annual revenue of nearly $5 billion.
Amusement and Entertainment. Our current customers and primary opportunities in the amusement and entertainment markets are typically classified as “street/route business,” which are standalone businesses that are open to the general public and that offer card/coin-operated games such as claw machines, amusement park machines (i.e. body dryers), bowling alleys and bar entertainment (i.e. digital music machines, dart machines, etc.). According to the 2019 IBISWorld Industry Report on Arcade, Food & Entertainment Complexes in the U.S., this industry represents $2.5 billion, including $1.2 billion from card/coin-operated games, with approximately 6,900 businesses within this segment of the amusement and entertainment market. Our existing customers in the amusement and entertainment markets leverage our ePort Connect Platform to enable cashless acceptance, remote machine monitoring, and pulse capability for cashless devices. ePort Connect’s pulse capability enables coin/token based unattended retail environments to accept cashless by using pulse voltages to imitate coin and bill payments, and trigger machines to play.

Capitalize on Opportunities in International Markets. We are currently focused on the U.S. and Canadian markets for our ePort devices and related ePort Connect service but may seek to establish a presence in electronic payment markets in Europe, Asia,outside of the U.S. and Latin America.Canada. In order to do so, however, we would have to invest in additional sales and marketing and research and development resources targeted towards these regions.regions, and the Company's current focus remains on the U.S. and Canadian markets for the near-term due to resource constraints. At this time, the Company believes the most efficient route to these markets will be achieved by optimizing and coordinating opportunitiesworking closely with its global partners to leverage their expertise and customers.experience in navigating those markets.
Expanding the Value of our Service
Capitalize on the emerging contactless, NFC, and growing mobile payments trends. With approximately 91%93% of our cashless connected base enabled to accept NFC payments (including mobile wallets), the Company believes that continued increases in consumer preferences towards contactless payments, including mobile wallets like Apple Pay and AndroidSamsung Pay, represent a significant opportunity for the Company to further drive adoption. Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has approximately 260 thousand EMV enabled devices and continues to see accelerated adoption. As the variety of payment methods expands and consumer behaviors evolve, the ability to make credit and debit card payments at unattended terminals is highly in demand among consumers, with 70% of U.S., U.K. and Australian respondents in the 2018 TNS Unattended Terminals Survey saying they would prefer unattended vending machines and kiosks to accept both card and cash payments. This same survey found that 57% of adults between the ages of 18 and 34 were willing to make a payment at an unattended terminal with a digital wallet such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Google Pay. Further, 33% of the U.S. respondents said they would be willing to make a payment at an unattended kiosk or vending machine using a wearable device, such as a bracelet, fitness tracker, keyring, etc. As consumers continue to adopt these new methods of cashless payments, it is our belief that adoption will continue to accelerate at a rapid pace and result in more rapid adoption of cashless solutions like the Company’s ePort in the markets that we serve.
Continuous Innovation. We are continuously enhancing our solutions and services in order to satisfy our customers and the end-consumers relying on our products at the POS locations. We are making investments in new products and services, and continously partnering with other players within the ecosystem to drive additional value of combined service offerings to our customers and opportunities. Our product innovation team is always working to enhance the design, size,our operational and speed of data transmission,payments platform to drive easier integration and customer implementation as well as security andestablish compatibility with other electronic payment solution providers’ technologies. We believe our continued innovation will lead to further adoption of USAT’s solutions and services in the unattended POS payments market.
Comprehensive Service and Support. In addition to its industry-leading ePort cashless payments system, the Company seeks to provide its customers with a comprehensive, value-added ePort Connect service that is designed to encourage optimal return on investment through business planning and performance optimization; business metrics through the Company’s KnowledgeBase of data; a loyalty and rewards program for consumer engagement; marketing strategy and executional support; sales data and machine alerts; DEX data transmission; and the ability to extend cashless payments capabilities and the full suite of services across multiple aspects of an operator’s business including micro-markets contract food industry, online payments and mobile payments.

Our agreement with Global Payments automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless either party provides 60 days’ notice of non-renewal to the other party.
AT&T
In August 2017, we signed an agreement with AT&T for access to their LTE machine to machine wireless wide area network for the transport of data, including credit card transactions and inventory management data. The initial term of the agreement is five years. The agreement will automatically renew for successive one year periods unless terminated by either party upon thirty days’ notice.
QUICK START PROGRAM
In order to reduce customers’ upfront capital costs associated with the ePort hardware, the Company makes available to its customers the Quick Start program, pursuant to which the customer would enter into a five-year non-cancelable lease with either the Company or a third-party leasing company for the devices. At the end of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device for a nominal fee.
From its introduction in September 2014 and through approximately mid-March 2015, the Company entered into these leases directly with its customers. In the third and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, however, the Company signed vendor agreements with two leasing companies, whereby our customers could enter into leases directly with the leasing companies.
There has been a shift by our customers from acquiring our product via JumpStart (our rental program), which accounted for 11.51% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2018, and for 11.01% of our gross connections in fiscal year 2019. The shift to a straight purchase, along with our ability to increase cash collections under QuickStart sales by utilizing leasing companies, improves cash provided by operating activities.
Due to the success of the QuickStart program, as measured by customer utilization of the program and the positive impact on the Company’s cash flows from operating activities when a leasing company is utilized, the Company intends to expand this program by entering into additional vendor agreements with leasing companies and/or expanding its relationship with the three incumbent leasing companies.
JUMP START PROGRAM
Pursuant to the JumpStart Program, customers acquire the ePort cashless device at no upfront cost by paying a higher monthly service fee, avoiding the need to make a major upfront capital investment. The Company would continue to own the ePort device utilized by its customer. At the time of the shipment of the ePort device, the customer is obligated to pay to the Company a one-time activation fee, and is later obligated to pay monthly ePort Connect service fees in accordance with the terms of the customer’s
contract with the Company, in addition to transaction processing fees generated from the device. In fiscal year 2019, the Company added approximately 6% of its gross new connections through JumpStart, compared to approximately 4% in fiscal year 2018.
MANUFACTURING
The Company utilizes independent third-party companies for the manufacturing of its products. Our internal manufacturing process mainly consists of quality assurance of materials and testing of finished goods received from our contract manufacturers. We have not entered into a long-term contract with our contract manufacturers, nor have we agreed to commit to purchase certain quantities of materials or finished goods from our manufacturers beyond those submitted under routine purchase orders, typically covering short-term forecasts.
COMPETITION
We are a leading provider of cashless payments systems for the small-ticket, unattended market in the United States, and believe we have the largest installed base of unattended POS electronic payment systems in the beverage and food vending industry in the United States. Factors that we consider to be our competitive advantages are described above under “OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS.” Our competitors are increasingly and actively marketing products and services that compete with our products and services in the vending spaceindustry, including manufacturers who may include in their new vending machines their own (or another third party’s) cashless payment systems and services. Our major competitor is Crane Payment Innovations. In addition to these competitors, there are also numerous credit card processors that offer card processing services to traditional retail establishments that could decide to offer similar services to the industries that we serve.
In the cashless laundry market, our joint solution with Setomatic Systems competes with hardware manufacturers, who provide joint solutions to their customers in partnership with payment processors, and with at least one competitor who provides an integrated hardware and payment processing solution.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a history of losses since inception and if we continue to incur losses, the price of our shares can be expected to fall.
We experienced losses from inception through June 30, 2012, and from fiscal year 2015 through fiscal year 2019.2020. For fiscal years 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017,2018, we incurred a net loss of $32.0$40.6 million, $11.3$29.9 million, and $7.5$11.3 million, respectively. In light of our recent history of losses as well as the length of our history of losses, profitability in the foreseeable future is not assured. Until the Company’s products and services can generate sufficient annual revenues, the Company will be required to use its cash and cash equivalents on hand and may raise capital to meet its cash flow requirements including the issuance of common stock or debt financing. Additionally, if we continue to incur losses in the future, the price of our common stock can be expected to fall.
We may require additional financing or find it necessary to raise capital to sustain our operations and without it we may not be able to achieve our business plan.
At June 30, 2019,2020, we had a net working capital surplus of $2.8$5.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $27.5$31.7 million. We had net cash (used in) provided by (used in) operating activities of $(28.7)$(14.1) million, $12.4$(28.2) million, and $(6.1)$12.4 million for fiscal years ended 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017,2018, respectively. Unless we maintain or grow our current level of operations, we may need additional funds to continue these operations. We may also need additional capital to respond to unusual or unanticipated non-operational events. Such non-operational events include but are not limited to full remediation of internal control deficiencies that existed as of June 30, 2019 and shareholder class action lawsuits, government inquiries or enforcement actions that could potentially arise from the circumstances that gave rise to our restatements, and extended filing delaydelays in filing our periodic reports.reports and the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Should the financing that we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
Our existing loanFailure to comply with any of the financial covenants under the Company’s credit agreement contains restrictions which may limit our flexibility in operating and growing our business.
Our existing loan agreement contains covenants regarding our maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio, each as defined in our loan agreement. Additionally, the loan agreement requires us to deliver to our bank, among other things, audited and unaudited financial statements on a periodic basis. We are not in compliance with these covenants and have obtained waivers and extensions of time to deliver such financial statements until October 31, 2019. Future failures to be in compliance with these covenants could result in an event of default which may accelerate our outstanding indebtedness or other obligations and have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity position and financial position.
On August 14, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “2021 JPMorgan Credit Agreement”) for a $5 million secured revolving credit facility and a $15 million secured term facility, which includes an uncommitted expansion feature that allows the Company to increase the total revolving commitments and/or add new tranches of term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5 million. The obligations under the 2021 JPMorgan Credit Agreement are secured by first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. The 2021 JPMorgan Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company (i) to maintain an adjusted quick ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00, not less than 2.50 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2020, not less than 2.75 to 1.00 beginning January 1, 2021 and 3.00 to 1.00 beginning April 1, 2021 and (ii) to maintain, as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters commencing with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021, a total leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00.
Failure to comply with the foregoing financial covenants, if not cured or waived, couldwill result in thean event of default that could trigger acceleration of all or a portion of our outstanding indebtedness, which would require us to repay all amounts owed under the 2021 JPMorgan Credit Agreement and could have a material adverse effectimpact on our business, liquidity position and financial conditionposition.
We cannot be certain that our future operating results will be sufficient to ensure compliance with the financial covenants in our 2021 JPMorgan Credit Agreement or to remedy any defaults. In addition, in the event of any event of default and results of operations.related acceleration, we may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to make the accelerated payments required under the 2021 JPMorgan Credit Agreement.
The loss of one or more of our key customers could significantly reduce our revenues, results of operations, and net income.
We have derived, and believe we may continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from one large customer or a limited number of large customers. Customer concentrations for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 2018 and 20172018 were as follows:
| | | | | For the year ended June 30, | | For the year ended June 30, |
| Single customer | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2017 | | 2020 | | 2019 | | 2018 |
| Total revenue | | 17 | % | | 16 | % | | 25 | % | | 16 | % | | 17 | % | | 16 | % |
The loss of such customers could materially adversely affect our revenues. Additionally, a major customer in one year may not purchase any of our products or services in another year, which may negatively affect our financial performance. We have offered, and may in the future offer, discounts to our large customers to incentivize them to continue to utilize our products and services. If we are required to sell products to any of our large customers at reduced prices or unfavorable terms, our results of operations and revenue could be materially adversely affected. Further, there is no assurance that our customers will continue to utilize our transaction processing and related services as our customer agreements are generally cancelable by the customer on thirty to sixty days’ notice. Additionally, the Audit Committee’s internal investigation of certain matters that was commenced in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and the resulting delay in the filing of the Company’s periodic reports could affect the willingness of potential customers to purchase the Company’s products and services and of existing customers to continue their relationship with the Company without revised terms and/or special provisions.
We depend on our key personnel and, if they leave us, or if we are unable to attract highly skilled personnel, our business could be adversely affected.
We are dependent on key management personnel, particularlyincluding the Chief Executive Officer, Stephen P. Herbert.Sean Feeney, and the rest of the executive leadership team and several functional areas within the Company. The loss of services of Mr. Herbert or otherfrom these officers and employees could dramatically affect our business prospects. Our executive officers and certain of our officers and employees are particularly valuable to us because:
they have specialized knowledge about our company and operations;
they have specialized skills that are important to our operations; or
they would be particularly difficult to replace.
We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Herbert,Feeney, which contains customary restrictive covenants, including perpetual confidentiality, non-disparagement, and intellectual property covenants, as well as a non-compete, provisions. The agreement providednon-solicit of customers and suppliers, and non-solicit of employees (including a no-hire) that each apply during employment and for an initial term continuing through January 1, 2013, which is automatically renewed for consecutive one year periods unless terminated by either Mr. Herbert or the Company upon at least 90 days’ notice prior to the end of the initial term ortwo years following any one-year extension thereof.termination.
Our success and future growth also depends, to a significant degree, on the skills and continued services of our management team, many of whom are recent hires, including our interimChief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Operating Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, and our Chief Compliance Officer.General Counsel. Further, potential reputational harm arising fromdue to the restatements and extended delay in filing our periodic reportscomplexity of the work required to make needed improvements within the Company, it may make itbe difficult for us to retain these new hires and other existing senior management, sales personnel, and development and engineering personnel critical to our ability to execute our business plan, which could result in harm to key customer relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment and training costs. We may experience a loss of productivity due to the departure of key personnel and the associated loss of institutional knowledge, or while new personnel integrate into our business and transition into their respective roles. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales, marketing and customer service personnel, including members of our management team.
Further, as a significant portion of the executive management team was recently externally hired, a significant amount of on-boarding and training is required to orient these personnel to the business. This risk is also compounded by the departure of several key functional leaders who possessed a deep knowledge of the legacy business, its systems and its processes. There is no assurance that we will be able to acclimate the new leadership team in a manner timely and adequate enough to ensure a successful transition.
Our dependence on proprietary technology and limited ability to protect our intellectual property may adversely affect our ability to compete.
Challenge to our ownership of our intellectual property could materially damage our business prospects. Our technology may infringe upon the proprietary rights of others. Our ability to execute our business plan is dependent, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for our proprietary products, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
As of June 30, 2019,2020, the United States Government and other countries have granted us 130 patents, of which 8772 are still in force. We had 1410 pending United States and foreign patent applications, and will consider filing applications for additional patents covering aspects of our future developments, although there can be no assurance that we will do so. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will maintain or prosecute these applications. There can be no assurance that:
any of the remaining patent applications will be granted to us;
we will develop additional products that are patentable or that do not infringe the patents of others;
any patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for our products;
any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others; or
any of our products would not infringe the patents of others.
If any of our products or services is found to have infringed any patent, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain licenses to continue to manufacture, use, sell, and license such product or service or that we will not have to pay damages and/or be enjoined as a result of such infringement.
If we are unable to adequately protect our proprietary technology or fail to enforce or prosecute our patents against others, third parties may be able to compete more effectively against us, which could result in the loss of customers and our business being adversely affected. Patent and proprietary rights litigation entails substantial legal and other costs and diverts Company resources
as well as the attention of our management. There can be no assurance we will have the necessary financial resources to appropriately defend or prosecute our intellectual property rights in connection with any such litigation.
If we are not able to implement successful enhancements and new features for our products and services, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Our success depends on our ability to develop new products and services to address the rapidly evolving market for cashless payments and cloud and mobile solutions for the self-service retail markets. Rapid and significant technological changes continue to confront the industries in which we operate, including developments in proximity payment devices. These new services and technologies may be superior to, impair, or render obsolete the products and services we currently offer or the technologies we currently use to provide them. Incorporating new technologies into our products and services may require substantial expenditures and take considerable time, and we may not be successful in realizing a return on these development efforts in a timely manner or at all. There can be no assurance that any new products or services we develop and offer to our customers will achieve significant commercial acceptance. Our ability to develop new products and services may be inhibited by industry-wide standards, payment card networks, existing and future laws and regulations, resistance to change from our customers, or third parties’ intellectual property rights. If we are unable to provide enhancements and new features for our products and services or to develop new products and services that achieve market acceptance or that keep pace with rapid technological developments and evolving industry standards, our business would be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, because our products and services are designed to operate with a variety of systems, infrastructures, and devices, we need to continuously modify and enhance our products and services to keep pace with changes in mobile, software, communication, and database technologies. We may not be successful in either developing these modifications and enhancements or in bringing them to market in a timely and cost-effective manner. Any failure of our products and services to continue to operate effectively with third-party infrastructures and technologies could reduce the demand for our products and services, result in dissatisfaction of our customers, and materially and adversely affect our business.
The termination of our relationships with certain third-party suppliers upon whom we rely for services that are critical to our products could adversely affect our business and delay achievement of our business plan.
The operation of our wireless networked devices depends upon the capacity, reliability and security of services provided to us by our wireless telecommunication services providers, AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless. In addition, if we terminate relationships with our current telecommunications service providers, we may have to replace hardware that is part of our existing ePort or Seed products that are already installed in the marketplace in order to make them compatible with a new network. This could significantly harm our reputation and could cause us to lose customers and revenues.
Substantially all of the network service contracts with our customers are terminable for any or no reason upon thirty to sixty days’ advance notice.
Substantially all of our customers may terminate their network service contracts with us for any or no reason upon providing us with thirty or sixty days’ advance notice. Accordingly, consistent demand for and satisfaction with our products by our customers is critical to our financial condition and future success. Problems, defects, or dissatisfaction with our products or services or competition in the marketplace could cause us to lose a substantial number of our customers with minimal notice. If a substantial number of our customers were to exercise their termination rights, it would result in a material adverse effect to our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Security is vital to our customers and therefore breaches in the security of transactions involving our products or services could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
We rely on information technology and other systems to transmit financial information of consumers making cashless transactions and to provide accounting and inventory management services to our customers. As such, the information we transmit and/or maintain are exposed to the ever-evolving threat of compromised security, in the form of a risk of potential breach, system failure, computer virus, or unauthorized or fraudulent use by consumers, customers, company employees, or employees of third party vendors. The steps we take to deter and mitigate these risks, including being certified for PCIannual validation of our compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, may not be successful, and any resulting compromise or loss of data or systems could adversely impact the marketplace acceptance of our products and services, and could result in significant remedial expenses to not only assess and repair any damage to our systems, but also to reimburse customers for losses that occur from the fraudulent use of confidential data. Additionally, we could become subject to significant fines, litigation, and loss of reputation, potentially impacting our financial results.
Further, substantially all of the cashless payment transactions handled by our network involve Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa”) or MasterCard.MasterCard International Incorporated ("MasterCard"). If we fail to comply with the applicable standards or requirements of the Visa and MasterCard card associations relating to security, Visa or MasterCard could suspend or terminate our registration with them. The termination of our registration with them or any changes in the Visa or MasterCard rules that would impair our registration with them could require us to stop providing cashless payment services through our network. In such event, our business plan and/or competitive advantages in the market place would be materially adversely affected.
We rely on other card payment processors, and if they fail or no longer agree to provide their services, our customer relationships could be adversely affected, and we could lose business.
We rely on agreements with other large payment processing organizations, primarily First Data, Chase Paymentech and Global Payments, Inc., formerly Heartland Payment Systems, Inc., to enable us to provide card authorization, data capture and transmission, settlement and merchant accounting services for the customers we serve. The termination by our card processing providers of their arrangements with us or their failure to perform their services efficiently and effectively will adversely affect our relationships with the customers whose accounts we serve and may cause those customers to terminate their processing agreements with us.
Disruptions at other participants in the financial system could prevent us from delivering our cashless payment services.
The operations and systems of many participants in the financial system are interconnected. Many of the transactions that involve our cashless payment services rely on multiple participants in the financial system to accurately move funds and communicate information to the next participant in the transaction chain. A disruption for any reason at one of the participants in the financial system could impact our ability to cause funds to be moved in a manner to successfully deliver our services. Although we work with other participants to avoid any disruptions, there is no assurance that such efforts will be effective. Such a disruption could lead to the inability for us to deliver services, reputational damage, lost customers and lost revenue, loss of customers’ confidence, as well as additional costs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, financial condition, and future growth.
We are subject to laws and regulations that affect the products, services and markets in which we operate. Failure by us to comply with these laws or regulations would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We are, among other things, subject to banking regulations and credit card association regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the suspension of our business, the limitation, suspension or termination of service, and/or the imposition of fines that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Additionally, changes to legal rules and regulations, or interpretation or enforcement thereof, could have a negative financial effect on us or our product offerings. To the extent this occurs, we could be subject to additional technical, contractual or other requirements as a condition of our continuing to conduct our payment processing business. These requirements could cause us to incur additional costs, which could be significant, or to lose revenues to the extent we do not comply with these requirements.
New legislation could be enacted regulating the basis upon which interchange rates are charged for debit or credit card transactions, which could increase the debit or credit card interchange fees charged by bankcard networks. An example of such legislation is the so-called “Durbin Amendment,” an amendment to the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The Durbin Amendment regulates the basis upon which interchange rates for debit card transactions are made to ensure that interchange rates are “reasonable and proportionate to costs.” Pursuant to regulations that were promulgated by the Federal Reserve, Visa and MasterCard have significantly increased their interchange fees for small ticket debit card transactions.
Increases in card association and debit network interchange fees could increase our operating costs or otherwise adversely affect our operations.
We are obligated to pay interchange fees and other network fees set by the bankcard networks to the card issuing bank and the bankcard networks for each transaction we process through our network. From time to time, card associations and debit networks increase the organization and/or processing fees, known as interchange fees that they charge. Under our processing agreements with our customers, we are permitted to pass along these fee increases to our customers through corresponding increases in our processing fees. Passing along such increases could result in some of our customers canceling their contracts with us. Consequently, it is possible that competitive pressures will result in our Company absorbing some or all of the increases in the future, which would increase our operating costs, reduce our gross profit and adversely affect our business.
As of July 1, 2017, we entered into a three-year agreement with Visa, U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa”), pursuant to which Visa has agreed to continue to make available to the Company certain promotional interchange reimbursement fees for small ticket debit and credit
card transactions. Similarly, MasterCard International Incorporated ("MasterCard") has agreed to make available to us reduced interchange rates for small ticket debit card transactions through March 1, 2019, and for successive one-year periods thereafter unless the agreement between the parties is terminated by either party upon sixty days' notice prior to the end of any such one-year renewal period. During the term of the Visa Agreement, the Company does not anticipate accepting any debit cards with interchange fees that are higher than the rates provided under the Visa Agreement. The Company will continue to accept Visa- and MasterCard- branded debit cards in addition to all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express at its current processing rates. If the Visa or MasterCard Agreements are not extended, our financial results would be materially adversely affected unless we are able to pass these significant additional charges to our customers. The Company is having discussions with Visa on a new agreement.
Any increase in chargebacks not paid by our customers may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In the event a dispute between a cardholder and a customer is not resolved in favor of the customer, the transaction is normally charged back to the customer and the purchase price is credited or otherwise refunded to the cardholder. When we serve as merchant of record, if we are unable to collect such amounts from the customer's account, or if the customer refuses or is unable, due to closure, bankruptcy or other reasons, to reimburse us for a chargeback, we bear the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder. We may experience significant losses from chargebacks in the future. Any increase in chargebacks not paid by our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We have policies to manage customer-related credit risk and attempt to mitigate such risk by monitoring transaction activity. Notwithstanding our programs and policies for managing credit risk, it is possible that a default on such obligations by one or more of our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Failure to maintain effective systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures could result in additional costs being incurred for remediation, cause a loss of confidence in our financial reporting and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide accurate financial information. We previously identified a material weakness inSection 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting as of the end of fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Additionally, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee and following discussions with management, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements for theeach fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, (2) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, (3) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and (4) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018. Similarly, it was determined that reliance should not be placed on the management’sto include a management report onassessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017. Additionally, we have concluded thatin our Annual Report on Form 10-K. As discussed in Item 9A., our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 20192020 due to the existence of a material weaknessesweakness in such controls. Management believes the controls are designed appropriately and we have also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective asis in the process of June 30, 2019, all as described in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” of this Form 10-K. Remediation efforts to addressremediating the identified weaknesses are ongoing and we were not able to fully remediate our material weaknesses in internal controls as of June 30, 2019, and weweakness. We cannot provide assurance that our remediation efforts will be adequate to allow us to conclude that such controls will be effective as of June 30, 2020. We also cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses in2021. If we are unable to adequately maintain our internal control over financial reporting will not arise or be identified in the future. We intend to continue our control remediation activities and to continue to improve the procedures and controls relating to our operational and financial systems, as well as to continue to expand, train, retain and manage our personnel who are essential to effective internal controls. In doing so, we will continue to incur expenses and expend management time on compliance-related issues.
If our remediation measures are insufficient to address the identified deficiencies, or if additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results. Moreover, because of the inherent limitations of any control system, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, or at all. If we are unableable to provide reliable and timelyaccurately report our financial reports in the future, our business and reputation may be further harmed. Failures in internal controls may negatively affect investorresults, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our management andreported financial information, negatively affecting the accuracy of our financial statements and disclosures, or result in adverse publicity and concerns from investors, any of which could have a negative effect on thetrading price of our shares, subject us to regulatory investigations and penalties and/or shareholder litigation, and materially adversely impact our business and financial condition.
Shareholder activists could cause a disruption to our business.
The circumstances that gave rise to our restatement and extended delays in filing our periodic reports and in holding an annual meeting of shareholders has increased the risk that we may be subject to legal and business challenges in the operation of our company due to actions instituted by activist shareholders or others, such as shareholder proposals, media campaigns, proxy contests and other such actions. Responding to proxy contests or such other actions could be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations and divert the attention of our Board and management from the pursuit of business strategies, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of shareholder activism or potential changes to the composition of our Board may lead to the perception of a change in the direction of the business, loss of potential business opportunities, instability or lack of continuity. This may be exploited by our competitors, cause concern to our current or potential customers, and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. In addition, actions of activist shareholders may cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business. On May 20, 2019, Hudson Executive Capital LP filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC reporting that it was the beneficial owner of 12% of our common stock, by an amendment thereto filed on August 5, 2019, reported that it wasor our ability to access the beneficial owner of 14% of our common stock, and, by an amendment thereto filed on September 27, 2019, reported that it was the beneficial owner of 16.9% of our common stock.capital markets.
The accounting review of our previously issued financial statements and the audits of prior fiscal years have been time-consuming and expensive, has resulted in the filing of class action lawsuits and the receipt of derivative demand letters, and may result in additional expense and/or litigation.
In fiscal year 2019, the Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, conducted an internal investigation of then-current and prior period matters relating to certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements (the “2019 Investigation”). Additionally in fiscal year 2019, significant financial reporting issues were identified which were unrelated to the internal investigation and which resulted in further adjustments to the Company’s previously issued or prior fiscal years’ unissued financial statements. As a result of the findings, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year
2017, our selected financial data as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018.
We have incurred significant expenses, including audit, legal, consulting and other professional fees, in connection with the Audit Committee’s investigation,2019 Investigation, the review of our accounting, the audits, the restatements of previously filed financial statements, bank consents, and the ongoing remediation of deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, duringreporting, the proxy solicitation, and professional services fees to assist the Company with accounting and compliance activities in fiscal year 2020 following the filing of the 2019 Form 10-K. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred various expenses including those relating to the internal investigation in the amount of $13.5 million, relating to the restatement in the amount of $1.9$21.3 million and relating to pending class action litigation in the amount$16.1 million of $0.5 million.those costs. To the extent that steps we are continuing to take to reduce errors in accounting determinations are not successful, we could be forced to incur significant additional time and expense. The incurrence of significant additional expense, or the requirement that management devote significant time that could reduce the time available to execute on our business strategies, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Although we have completed the restatement, we cannot guarantee that we will not receive inquiries from the SEC, NasdaqSecurities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other regulatory authorities regarding our restated financial statements or matters relating thereto, or that we will not be subject to future claims, investigations or proceedings. Any future inquiries from the SEC Nasdaq or other regulatory authority,authorities, or future claims or proceedings or any related regulatory investigation will, regardless of the outcome, likely consume a significant amount of our internal resources and result in additional legal and accounting costs.
We are also subject to a shareholder class action arising out of the misstatements in our financial statements or public filings. For additional discussion, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings and "Legal Matters" in Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our management has been, and may in the future be, required to devote significant time and attention to this litigation, and this and any additional matters that arise could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition as well as on our reputation. While we cannot estimate our potential exposure in these matters at this time, we have already incurred significant expense defending this litigation and expect to continue to need to incur significant expense.
We and certain of our current and former officers and directors have been named in shareholder class action lawsuits, which could require significant additional management time and attention, result in significant additional legal expenses or result in government enforcement actions.
We and certain of our current and former officers and directors have been named in shareholder class action lawsuits, and may become subject to further litigation, government investigations or proceedings arising therefrom. The pending litigation has been, and any future litigation, investigation or other actions that may be filed or initiated against us or our current or former officers or directors may be time consuming and expensive. We cannot predict what losses we may incur in these litigation matters, and contingencies related to our obligations under the federal and state securities laws, or in other legal proceedings or governmental investigations or proceedings related to these matters.
To date, we have incurred significant costs in connection with pending litigation and with the special litigation committee proceedings. Any legal proceedings, if decided adversely to us, could result in significant monetary damages, penalties and reputational harm, and will likely involve significant defense and other costs. We have entered into indemnification agreements
with each of our directors and certain of our officers, and our bylaws require us to indemnify each of our directors and officers. Further, our insurance may not cover all claims that have been or may be brought against us, and insurance coverage may not continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost. As a result, we have been and may continue to be exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities, including pursuant to our indemnification obligations, which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
For additional discussion of these matters, refer to Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” and Footnote 19. Commitments and Contingencies of the NotesNote 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Matters relating to or arising from the restatement and the Audit Committee’s investigation,2019 Investigation, including adverse publicity and potential concerns from our customers could continue to have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
We have restated our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year 2017, our selected financial data as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018. As a result, such restatements and other findings of the Audit Committee following the internal investigation, we have been and could continue to be the subject of negative publicity focusing on the restatement and adjustment of our financial statements, and may be adversely impacted by negative reactions from our customers or others with whom we do business. Concerns include the perception of the effort required to address our accounting and control environment
and the ability for us to be a long-term provider to our customers. The continued occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business and have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Additionally, as a result of the restatements, we have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including substantial unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement. If litigation did occur, we may incur additional substantial defense costs regardless of their outcome. Likewise, such events might cause a diversion of our management’s time and attention. If we do not prevail in any such litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs.
Matters relating to recent Department of Justice (“DOJ”) inquiries may require significant time and attention, result in substantial expenses and lead to adverse publicity.
We are and have been responding to inquiries from the DOJ related to the 2019 Investigation associated with fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. While these inquiries to date relate to events that took place under prior management that was in place during those years, they will likely require time and attention from current management to provide access to any internal company records that may be requested.
We are unable to predict what consequences, if any, that the investigation performed by the DOJ may have on us. The investigation performed by the DOJ could result in substantial legal and accounting expenses, divert management’s attention from other business concerns and harm our business. Any civil or criminal action commenced against us could result in administrative orders against us, the imposition of significant penalties and/or fines against us, and/or the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions against us or certain of our former officers, directors and/or employees. Any regulatory action could result in the filing of additional restatements of our prior financial statements or require that we take other actions. If we are subject to an adverse finding resulting from the investigation performed by the DOJ, we could be required to pay damages or penalties or have other remedies imposed upon us. The period of time necessary to resolve the investigations by the DOJ is uncertain, and these matters could require significant management and financial resources which could otherwise be devoted to the operation of our business. Additionally, as a result of these inquiries, we could be the subject of negative publicity including negative reactions from our customers or others with whom we do business.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has and will continue to significantly and adversely impact our business.
The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption on our business. Electronic payment transaction volume within unattended markets has decreased significantly since the pandemic accelerated in the United States in March 2020, as government authorities have imposed forced closure of non-essential businesses and social distancing protocols, significantly reducing foot traffic to distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions and reducing discretionary spending by consumers.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; and the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response. Furthermore, even after containment measures are lifted there can be no assurance as to the time required to regain operations and sales at levels prior to the pandemic. There may also be increased marketplace consolidation as companies are challenged to respond to the COVID-19 impact.
A sustained downturn may also result in a decrease in the fair value of our goodwill or other intangible assets, causing them to exceed their carrying value. This may require us to recognize an impairment to those assets. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic could decrease consumer spending, adversely affect demand for our technology and services, cause one or more of our customers and partners to file for bankruptcy protection or go out of business, cause one or more of our customers to fail to renew, terminate, or renegotiate their contracts, affect the ability of our sales team to travel to potential customers, impact expected spending from new customers and negatively impact collections of accounts receivable, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In response to the outbreak, we have agreed to concessions on price and/or payment terms with certain customers who have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and may negotiate additional concessions on price and/or payment terms.
It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition at this time.
We may not be entitled to forgiveness of our recently received Paycheck Protection Program Loan, and our application for the Paycheck Protection Program Loan could in the future be determined to have been impermissible.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, we received loan proceeds of approximately $3.1 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). We intend to use the PPP Loan in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act. The PPP Loan, if not forgiven, bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, and is subject to the standard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act.
Under the CARES Act, as amended in June 2020, loan forgiveness is generally available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the Covered Period, which is 8 weeks or 24 weeks (at the election of the Company) beginning on the date of the first disbursement of the PPP Loan. The amount of the PPP Loan eligible to be forgiven may be reduced in certain circumstances, including as a result of certain headcount or salary reductions. We will be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be eligible for loan forgiveness, that we will apply for forgiveness, or that any amount of the PPP Loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.
In order to apply for the PPP Loan, we were required to certify, among other things, that the current economic uncertainty made the PPP Loan request necessary to support our ongoing operations. We made this certification in good faith after analyzing, among other things, the maintenance of our workforce, our need for additional funding to continue operations, and our ability to access alternative forms of capital in the current market environment to offset the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following this analysis, we believe that we satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Loan, and that our receipt of the PPP Loan is consistent with the broad objectives of the CARES Act. The certification described above is subject to interpretation.
On April 23, 2020, the SBA issued guidance stating that it is unlikely that a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets will be able to make the required certification in good faith. The lack of clarity regarding loan eligibility under the Paycheck Protection Program has resulted in significant media coverage and controversy with respect to public companies applying for and receiving loans. If, despite our good-faith belief that given our circumstances we satisfied all eligible requirements for the PPP Loan, we are later determined to have not been in compliance with these requirements or it is otherwise determined that we were ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, we may be required to repay the PPP Loan in its entirety and/or be subject to additional penalties. Should we be audited or reviewed by federal or state regulatory authorities as a result of filing an application for forgiveness of the PPP Loan or otherwise, such audit or review could result in the diversion of management’s time and attention and the incurrence of additional costs. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to commercially manage the transition from the 3G network could lead to competitive disadvantage in the marketplace.
We will begin to plan transition away from the 3G network in 2021 as the network is being phased out in North America. This transition will affect a large portion of our active devices and will require a new customer retention initiative to ensure that our existing customer base is properly transitioned to the new platform. This change affects our industry and will also lead to changes with our competitors and their customers. Our ability to successfully transition and provide the new platform for our customers is critical to our strategy, our network and to the competitive balance in the marketplace.
Continued dependence on external providers and advisors could limit our ability to decrease operating expenses.
We continue to incur substantial fees associated with a series of external consultants and advisors who are supporting us with on-going accounting and reporting requirements and continued litigation. Our dependence upon these external parties to execute and complete large on-going projects and legal matters and our inability to transition these projects to internal resources may have a continued adverse impact on operating costs.
We may not successfully implement our go-to-market strategy which may adversely affect growth and profitability.
Our current core business is highly concentrated amongst several large customers in the vending industry. We have made inroads into other adjacent markets including laundry, gaming, entertainment and other commercial payments applications and continued expansion into these markets is a substantial piece of our potential future growth prospects. Changing technology, customer preferences, and competitor actions may limit our ability to successfully grow and expand beyond our core business.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
Trading in ourOur securities has been suspended by, and may bewere delisted from Nasdaq and we cannot assure you thatare now quoted on the suspension will be lifted, or that, if our securities are delisted, that they will be relisted.
As a result of the delay in filing our periodic reports with the SEC, we failed to comply with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). As a result, a Nasdaq Hearings Panel determined to delist our securities and suspended the trading of our securities on Nasdaq effective September 26, 2019. Pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules, we intend to request that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Review Council”) review the determination of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to delist our securities.OTC Markets. There can be no assurance that our appealsecurities will be successfulrelisted, or if weonce relisted, our securities might not remain listed.
As a result of our failure to comply with our periodic reporting obligations, on September 26, 2019, our securities were suspended from trading on Nasdaq. The Company’s securities were delisted from Nasdaq on February 18, 2020 and are currently quoted on the OTC Markets. The Company has applied to relist its common stock and preferred stock on Nasdaq, and the application is currently under review by the staff of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department.

As permitted by Pennsylvania law, our by-laws limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty except for liability in certain instances. As a result of our by-law provisions and Pennsylvania law, shareholders may have limited rights to recover against directors for breach of fiduciary duty.

If securities and/or industry analysts fail to continue publishing research about our business, if they change their recommendations adversely, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly for any reason, including the recent suspension of trading in our securities or a potentialcontinued delisting of our securities by Nasdaq, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. In addition, it is likely that, in some future period, our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. For this purpose, forward-looking statements are any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to, those preceded by or that include the words, “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intend,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projected,” or similar expressions. Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected, include, for example:
general economic, market or business conditions unrelated to our operating performance;
the ability of the Company to raise funds in the future through sales of securities or debt financing in order to sustain its operations if an unexpected or unusual event would occur;
the ability of the Company to compete with its competitors to obtain market share;
whether the Company’s current or future customers purchase, lease, rent or utilize ePort devices or our other products in the future at levels currently anticipated by our Company;
whether the Company’s customers continue to utilize the Company’s transaction processing and related services, as our customer agreements are generally cancelable by the customer on thirty to sixty days’ notice;
the ability of the Company to satisfy its trade obligations included in accounts payable and accrued expenses;
the ability of the Company to sell to third party lenders all or a portion of our finance receivables;
the ability of a sufficient number of our customers to utilize third party financing companies under our QuickStart program in order to improve our net cash used by operating activities;
the incurrence by us of any unanticipated or unusual non-operating expenses which would require us to divert our cash resources from achieving our business plan;
the ability of the Company to predict or estimate its future quarterly or annual revenue and expenses given the developing and unpredictable market for its products;
the ability of the Company to retain key customers from whom a significant portion of its revenue are derived;
the ability of a key customer to reduce or delay purchasing products from the Company;
the ability of the Company to obtain widespread commercial acceptance of its products and service offerings such as ePort QuickConnect, mobile payment and loyalty programs;
whether any patents issued to the Company will provide the Company with any competitive advantages or adequate protection for its products, or would be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others;
the ability of the Company to operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others;
the ability of our products and services to avoid unauthorized hacking or credit card fraud;
whether we continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting in the future, and are not able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations;
the risks associated with the currently pending litigation or possible regulatory action arising from the internal investigation and its findings, from the failure to timely file our periodic reports with the SEC, from the restatement of the affected financial statements, from allegations related to the registration statement for the follow-on public offering, or from potential litigation or other claims arising from the shareholder demands for derivative action;
whether our suppliers would increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale; and
our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Actual results or business conditions may differ materially from those projected or suggested in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those described above. We cannot assure you that we have identified all the factors that create uncertainties. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Form 10-K speaks only as of the date of this Form 10-K. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Form 10-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

COVID-19 Update
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in China in December 2019 and subsequently declared a global pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 containment measures began in parts of the United States in March 2020 resulting in forced closure of non-essential businesses and social distancing protocols. As a result, COVID-19 has impacted our business, significantly reducing foot traffic to distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions and reducing discretionary spending by consumers. The Company did not observe meaningful reductions in processing volume until mid-March, when average daily processing volume decreased approximately 40%. By mid-April, processing volumes began to recover and have shown a steady improvement by approximately 30% over the mid-March levels. At this time we are unable to reasonably estimate the length of time that containment measures will be needed in the United States. Furthermore, even after containment measures are lifted there can be no assurance as to the time required to regain operations and sales at levels prior to the pandemic.
In response to the outbreak and business disruption, first and foremost, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees by implementing work-from-home measures while continuing to diligently serve our customers. Additionally, we have created an internal task force to lead measures to protect the business in light of the volatility and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including ensuring the safety of our employees and our community by implementing work from home policies, conserving liquidity, evaluating cost saving actions, partnering with customers to position USAT for renewed growth post crisis,
and pausing on international expansion. The liquidity conservation and cost savings initiatives include but are not limited to: a 20% salary reduction for the senior leadership team until December 2020; deferral of all cash-based director fees until calendar year 2021; a temporary furlough of about 10% of our employee base; negotiations with and concessions from vendors in regard to cost reductions and/or payment deferrals; an increased collection effort to reduce outstanding accounts receivables; and various supply chain/inventory improvements. Our supply chain network has not been significantly disrupted and we are continuously monitoring for the impact of COVID-19.
We have agreed to concessions on price and/or payment terms with certain customers who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and may negotiate additional concessions on price and/or payment terms. These concessions did not have a material effect on our financial results as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020.
We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, based on current trends and if the pandemic is not substantially contained in the near future, COVID-19 may have a material adverse impact on our revenue growth as well as our overall profitability in fiscal year 2021, and may lead to higher sales-related, inventory-related, and operating reserves. Further, a sustained downturn may also result in a decrease in the fair value of our goodwill or other intangible assets, causing them to exceed their carrying value. This may require us to recognize an impairment to those assets.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
The Company has applied for, and has received, funds under the Paycheck Protection Program in the amount of $3.1 million. The application for these funds required the Company to, in good faith, to certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP,generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and they conform to general practices in our industry. We apply critical accounting policies consistently from period to period and intend that any change in methodology occur in an appropriate manner. Accounting policies currently deemed critical are listed below:
Revenue Recognition. The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale or lease of equipment and services to the small ticket, unattended Point of Sale (“POS”)POS market.
The Company’s application of the accounting principles in U.S. GAAP related to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates. Complex arrangements may require significant judgment in contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. Specifically, the determination of whether we are a principal to a transaction (gross revenue) or an agent (net revenue) can require considerable judgment.
The Company enters into arrangements with multiple performance obligations, which may include various combinations of equipment and services. Our equipment and service deliverables qualify as separate performance obligations and can be sold on a standalone basis. A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and, where return rights exist, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially within the Company’s control. For these multiple deliverable arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to the deliverables based on their relative selling prices. To the extent that a deliverable is subject to specific guidance on whether and/or how to allocate the consideration in a multiple element arrangement, that deliverable is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance. The Company limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered items to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or meeting other future performance obligations.
The Company allocates revenue based on a selling price hierarchy of vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, and then estimated selling price. Vendor-specific objective evidence is based on the price charged when the deliverable is sold separately. Third-party evidence is based on largely interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. As the Company is unable to reliably determine what competitor products’ selling prices are on a standalone basis, the Company is not typically able to determine third-party evidence. Estimated selling price is based on the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of deliverables would be if they were sold regularly on a standalone basis. Estimated selling price is established considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices in different geographies, customer classifications, major product and services groups.
The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” effective July 1, 2018. The standard supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and will have an impact on the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies. Management has reassessed the critical accounting policies and determined that there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies except for recently adopted accounting policy changes as discussed in Note 3, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities. The carrying values of deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the application of our income tax accounting policies in accordance with applicable accounting standards and are based on management’s assumptions and estimates regarding future operating results and levels of taxable income, as well as management’s judgment regarding the interpretation of the provisions of applicable accounting standards. The carrying values of liabilities for income taxes currently payable are based on management’s interpretations of applicable tax laws and incorporate management’s assumptions and judgments regarding the use of tax planning strategies in various taxing jurisdictions. The use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments in connection with accounting for income taxes may result in materially different carrying values of income tax assets and liabilities and results of operations.
We evaluate the recoverability of these deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely heavily on estimates. We use our historical experience and our short and long-term business forecasts to provide insight. To the extent we do not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established. As of June 30, 20192020 and June 30, 2018,2019, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $349$403 million and $333$349 million, respectively, to offset future taxable income, the majority of which expire through approximately 2039. Federal and some state net operating loss carryforwards generated in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 can be
carried forward indefinitely. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are reserved with a full valuation allowance because, based on the available evidence, we believe it is more likely than not that we would not be able to utilize those deferred tax assets in the future. If the actual amounts of taxable income differ from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted. Federal and state operating loss carryforwards start to expire in 2022 and 2020, respectively.certain state operating loss carryforwards are currently expiring.
Goodwill. Pursuant to applicable accounting standards, we test goodwill for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value using a market approach. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which, if any, the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized cannot exceed the reporting unit’s goodwill balance.
The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date. The Company has concluded there has been no impairment of goodwill during the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, 2018, or 2017. 2018. As of the date of our annual impairment test for fiscal year 2020, the fair value of our reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by a margin of approximately $350 million. As of June 30, 2019,2020, if our estimate of the fair value of our reporting unit was 10% lower, no goodwill impairment would have existed.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment is indicated. A loss is then recognized for the difference, if any, between the fair value of the asset (as estimated by management using its best judgment) and the carrying value of the asset. If actual market value is less favorable than that estimated by management, additional write-downs may be required.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. Estimating this amount requires us to analyze the financial strengths of our customers. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. By its nature, such an estimate is highly subjective, and it is possible that the amount of accounts receivable that we are unable to collect may be different than the amount initially estimated. Our allowance for doubtful accounts on June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $7.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts was primarily due to an increase in the aging of our trade accounts receivable from June 30, 2018, was $4.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively.2019 to June 30, 2020. To the extent the actual collectability of our accounts receivable differs from our estimates by 10%, our June 30, 20192020 net income would be higher or lower by approximately $0.5$0.8 million, on an after-tax basis, depending on whether the actual collectability was better or worse, respectively, than the estimated allowance.
Inventories. We determine the value of inventories using the lower of cost or net realizable value. We write down inventories for the difference between the carrying value of the inventories and their net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional write-downs may be required.
We estimate our reserves for inventory obsolescence by continuously examining our inventories to determine if there are indicators that carrying values exceed net realizable values. Experience has shown that significant indicators that could require the need for additional inventory write-downs are the age of the inventory, the length of its product life cycles, anticipated demand for our products, changes to technical standards required by payment companies or by law, and current economic conditions. While we believe that adequate write-downs for inventory obsolescence have been made in the consolidated financial statements, actual demand could be less than forecasted demand for our products and we could experience additional inventory write-downs in the future. Our inventory reserve on June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The decrease in the inventory reserve was primarily due to the disposal of inventory during the year ended June 30, 2018, was $5.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively.2020. To the extent that actual obsolescence of our inventory differs from our estimate by 10%, our June 30, 20192020 net income would be higher or lower by approximately $0.6$0.3 million, on an after-tax basis.
Cantaloupe Acquisition.We are required to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations as of the acquisition date, including identified intangible assets. The amount of purchase price paid in excess of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The fair values are estimated in accordance with accounting standards which define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values of the net assets acquired are determined primarily using Level 3 inputs (inputs that are unobservable to the marketplace participant).
The most significant of the fair value estimates is related to intangible assets subject to amortization. We recorded $30.8 million of acquired intangible assets in connection with the Cantaloupe acquisition. This amount of intangible assets was determined based primarily on Cantaloupe’s projected cash flows. The projected cash flows include various assumptions, including the timing of projects embedded in backlog, success in securing future business, profitability of the business, and the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate used to discount the projected cash flows. The residual value assigned to goodwill was $52.7 million.
Loss Contingencies. Loss contingencies are uncertain and unresolved matters that arise in the ordinary course of business and result from events or actions by others that have the potential to result in a future loss. Such contingencies include, but are not limited to, litigation.
When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. When there appears to be a range of possible costs with equal likelihood, liabilities are based on the low-end of such
range. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. Moreover, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be continuously evaluated to determine both the likelihood of potential loss and whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
Disclosure is provided for material loss contingencies when a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, and when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded provision. We regularly review all contingencies to determine whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. As discussed above, development of a meaningful estimate of loss or a range of potential loss is complex when the outcome is directly dependent on negotiations with or decisions by third parties, such as regulatory agencies, the court system and other interested parties. Such factors bear directly on whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of potential loss and boundaries of high and low estimates.
See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following tables set forth our results of operations for the periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of our historical results is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. Additionally, in connection with the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company identified certain adjustments that are required to be made to its fiscal year 2019 annual financial statements which resulted in a $2.1 million decrease in net loss for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Company does not believe these adjustments are material to the previously issued financial statements.

Revenue
Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2020 was $163.2 million, consisting of $133.2 million of license and transactions fees and $30.0 million of equipment sales, compared to $144.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2019, consisting of $122.9 million
of license and transaction fees and $21.6 million of equipment sales. The $18.7 million increase in total revenue from the prior fiscal year was attributable to a $10.3 million increase in license and transaction fees driven primarily by an increase in connection count compared to the same period last year and a $8.4 million increase in equipment sales driven primarily by higher shipments compared to the same period last year due to a large equipment sale made to a strategic customer during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2020. To date, the fee concessions through June 30, 2020 granted to customers whose locations were affected by COVID-19 shutdowns totaled approximately $0.7 million, which was not material to the financial results as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2019 was $143.8$144.5 million, consisting of $123.6$122.9 million of license and transactions fees and $20.2$21.6 million of equipment sales, compared to $132.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, consisting of $96.9 million of license and transaction fees and $35.6 million of equipment sales. The $11.3$12.0 million increase in total revenue from the prior fiscal year was attributable to a $26.7$26.0 million increase in license and transaction fees offset by a $15.4$14.1 million decrease in equipment sales. The increase in license and transaction fees is driven by approximately 141,000 net new connections in FY2019. The decrease in equipment sales is driven by lower shipments in 2019.
Cost of sales
Total revenuecost of sales for the year ended June 30, 20182020 was $132.5$116.9 million, consisting of $96.9$83.0 million of licensecost of services and transactions fees and $35.6$33.9 million of equipment sales,costs, compared to $101.4$104.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2017,2019, consisting of $69.1$80.0 million of licensecost of services and transaction fees and $32.3$24.3 million of equipment sales.costs. The $31.1$12.6 million increase in total revenuecost of sales from the prior fiscal year was attributable to a $27.7$3.0 million increase in license and transaction feescost of services driven primarily by an increase in connection count compared to the same period last year and a $3.3$9.6 million increase in equipment sales, bothcosts driven primarily by an increase in connections andhigher shipments compared to the Cantaloupe acquisition.
Cost of salessame period last year.
Total cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2019 was $105.7$104.3 million, consisting of $80.5$80.0 million of cost of services and $25.2$24.3 million of equipment costs, compared to $96.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, consisting of $61.2 million of cost of services and $35.7 million of equipment costs. The $8.8$7.4 million increase in total cost of sales from the prior fiscal year was attributable to a $19.3$18.8 million increase in cost of services offset by a $10.5$11.4 million decrease in equipment costs, driven by lower shipments in fiscal year 2019.
Total cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2018 was $96.8 million, consisting of $61.2 million of cost of services and $35.7 million of equipment costs, compared to $76.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2017, consisting of $46.5 million of cost of services and $29.9 million of equipment costs. The $20.5 million increase in total cost of sales from the prior fiscal year was attributable to a $14.7 million increase in cost of services and a $5.8 million increase in equipment costs, both driven by an increase in connections, increased year over year equipment shipments and the Cantaloupe acquisition.
Gross Margin
Overall gross margin decreasedincreased from 27.8% for fiscal year 2019 to 28.4% for fiscal year 2020. This increase is attributable to an increase in the license and transaction fee margin from 34.9% for fiscal year 2019 to 37.7% for fiscal year 2020 and a relatively flat change in equipment margin from (12.7)% for fiscal year 2019 to (13.1)% for fiscal year 2020. The increase in the license and transaction fee margin is primarily due to higher license and transaction fee margin earned in fiscal year 2020 from a strategic customer.
Overall gross margin increased from 26.9% for fiscal year 2018 to 26.5%27.8% for fiscal year 2019. This decrease is attributable to a decreaseincrease occurred despite decreases in the license fee and transaction fee margin from 36.8% for fiscal year 2018 to 34.9% for fiscal year 2019 which was driven by an increase in transaction processing revenue as a total percentage of our product mix and a decrease inthe equipment margin from (0.1)% for fiscal year 2018 to (24.5)(12.7)% for fiscal year 2019, driven by higher inventory carrying costs related to reduced inventory turnover and increased reserves for obsolete inventory.
Overall gross2019. Low or negative margin increased from 24.7% forequipment sales were a much lower proportion of total revenue in fiscal year 20172019 at 15% compared to 26.9% for27% in fiscal year 2018. This increase is attributable to an increase in the license fee and transaction margin from 32.7% for fiscal year 2017 to 36.8% for fiscal year 2018, which was driven by the impact of the Cantaloupe acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in the equipment margin, from 7.6% for fiscal year 2017 to (0.1)% for fiscal year 2018, reflecting our strategy of using equipment sales as an enabler for driving longer-term, higher margin license and transaction fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2020 were $60.3 million, compared to $46.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2019. The $13.7 million increase from the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to $7.5 million in increased employee related costs due to higher headcount in 2020 to further invest in the Company’s strategic plans for growth and increased severance and stock compensation related to employee and officer transitions, a $3.8 million increase in professional fees due to increased staff augmentation costs to support the Company’s operations and $2.6 million of additional sales tax related liabilities.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BUSINESS
Overview
USA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, “USAT”, or “Our”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in January 1992. We are a provider of technology-enabled solutions and value-added services that facilitate electronic payment transactions and consumer engagement services primarily within the unattended Point of Sale (“POS”) market. We are a leading provider in the small ticket, beverage and food vending industry in the United States and are expanding our solutions and services to other unattended market segments, such as amusement, commercial laundry, kiosk and others. Since our founding, we have designed and marketed systems and solutions that facilitate electronic payment options, as well as telemetry and IoTInternet of Things services, which include the ability to remotely monitor, control, and report on the results of distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions. Historically, these distributed assets have relied on cash for payment in the form of coins or bills, whereas, our systems allow them to accept cashless payments such as through the use of credit or debit cards or other emerging contactless forms, such as mobile payment. The connection to the ePort Connect platform also enables consumer loyalty programs, national rewards programs and digital content, including advertisements and product information to be delivered at the point of sale.
On November 9, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Cantaloupe Systems, Inc. (“Cantaloupe”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”). Cantaloupe is a premier provider of cloud and mobile solutions for vending, micro markets, and office coffee service. The acquisition expanded the Company’s existing platform to become an end-to-end enterprise platform integrating Cantaloupe’s Seed Cloud which provides cloud and mobile solutions for dynamic route scheduling, automated pre-kitting, responsive merchandising, inventory management, warehouse and accounting management, as well as cashless vending. The combined companies offer a complete the value chainproposition for customers by providing both top-line revenue generating services as well as bottom line business efficiency services to help operators of unattended retail machines run their businessbusinesses better. The combined product offering provides the data-rich Seed system with USAT’s consumer benefits, providing operators with valuable consumer data that results in customized experiences. In addition to new technology and services, due to Cantaloupe’s existing customer base, the acquisition expands the Company’s footprint into new global markets.

COVID-19
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in China in December 2019 and subsequently declared a global pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 containment measures began in parts of the United States in March 2020 resulting in forced closure of non-essential businesses and social distancing protocols. As a result, COVID-19 has impacted our business, significantly reducing foot traffic to distributed assets containing our electronic payment solutions and reducing discretionary spending by consumers. The Company did not observe meaningful reductions in processing volume until mid-March, when average daily processing volume decreased approximately 40%. By mid-April, processing volumes began to recover and have shown a steady improvement by approximately 30% over the mid-March levels. At this time we are unable to reasonably estimate the length of time that containment measures will be needed in the United States. Furthermore, even after containment measures are lifted there can be no assurance as to the time required to regain operations and sales at levels prior to the pandemic.
In response to the outbreak and business disruption, first and foremost, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees by implementing work-from-home measures while continuing to diligently serve our customers. Additionally, we have created an internal task force to lead measures to protect the business in light of the volatility and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including ensuring the safety of our employees and our community by implementing work from home policies, conserving liquidity, evaluating cost saving actions, partnering with customers to position USAT for renewed growth post crisis, and pausing on international expansion. The liquidity conservation and cost savings initiatives include but are not limited to: a 20% salary reduction for the senior leadership team until December 2020; deferral of all cash-based director fees until calendar year 2021; a temporary furlough of about 10% of our employee base; negotiations with and concessions from vendors in regard to cost reductions and/or payment deferrals; an increased collection effort to reduce outstanding accounts receivables; and various supply chain/inventory improvements.

We have agreed to concessions on price and/or payment terms with certain customers who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and may negotiate additional concessions on price and/or payment terms. These concessions did not have a material impact on our financial results for the year ended June 30, 2020.
We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, based on current trends and if the pandemic is not substantially contained in the near future, COVID-19 may have a material adverse impact on our revenue growth as well as our overall profitability in fiscal year 2021, and may lead to higher sales-related, inventory-related, and operating reserves. Further, a sustained downturn may also result in a decrease in the fair value of our goodwill or other intangible assets, causing them to exceed their carrying value.

2. RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Overview
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 contains our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, which have not previously been filed, as well as restatements of the following previously filed consolidated financial statements: (i) our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017; (ii) our selected financial data as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 contained in Item 6 of this Form 10-K; and (iii) our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, December 31, 2017 and 2016, March 31, 2018 and 2017, and June 30, 2017 in Note 20, “Unaudited Quarterly Data” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have not filed and do not intend to file amendments to any of our previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatements of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, we have not filed and do not intend to file a separate Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Concurrent with this filing, we are filing our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2018, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2019 (the “Fiscal Year 2019 Form 10-Qs”). We have not timely filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and the Fiscal Year 2019 Form 10-Qs as a result of the internal investigation of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) and the subsequent restatement of certain of our prior period financial statements as more fully described below.
Background
On September 11, 2018, the Company announced that the Audit Committee with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, was in the process of conducting an internal investigation of current and prior period matters relating to certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements. The Audit Committee’s investigation focused principally on certain customer transactions entered into by the Company during fiscal years 2017 and 2018.
On January 14, 2019, the Company reported that the Audit Committee’s internal investigation relating to accounting and reporting matters was substantially completed, the principal findings of the internal investigation, and the remedial actions to be implemented by the Company as a result of the internal investigation. The Audit Committee found that, for certain of the customer transactions under review, the Company had prematurely recognized revenue. The Audit Committee proposed certain adjustments to previously reported revenues related to fiscal quarters occurring during the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years of the Company. In most cases, revenues that had been recognized prematurely were, or were expected to be, recognized in subsequent quarters, including quarters subsequent to the quarters impacted by the investigative findings. The investigation further found that certain items that had been recorded as expenses, such as the payment of marketing or servicing fees, were more appropriately treated as contra-revenue items in earlier fiscal quarters.
On February 4, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, and based upon the adjustments to previously reported revenues proposed by the Audit Committee, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017; and (2) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018.
In addition to the Audit Committee investigation matter described above, the Company also corrected for (i) out of period adjustments and errors related to the Company's acquisition and financial integration of Cantaloupe and (ii) out of period adjustments and errors identified during management's review of significant accounts and transactions.
The acquisition and financial integration-related adjustments referred to in (i) above were made in the restatement and relate to errors in the purchase accounting for our acquisition of Cantaloupe and errors in periods subsequent to the acquisition resulting from an ineffective integration of the financial systems and processes of the acquired entity with those of the Company.
The significant account and transaction review adjustments referred to in (ii) above were made in the restatement and relate to revenue recognition, deferred income tax accounting, sales-tax reserves, reserves for bad debts, inventory reserves, sale-leaseback accounting, balance sheet classification of preferred stock, and various other matters.
On October 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015; (2) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; and (3) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017.

Such adjustments resulted in a $0.7 million decrease in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and a $2.1 million decrease in net loss for the year ended June 30, 2019. The Company does not believe these adjustments are material to the previously issued financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents represent all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from time of purchase. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts where accounts may exceed federally insured limits at times. ItThe Company deems this credit risk not to be significant as cash is held at prominentwell-capitalized financial institutions in the US.U.S.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Accounts receivable include amounts due to the Company for sales of equipment, other amounts due from customers, merchant service receivables, and unbilled amounts due from customers, net of the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for probable incurred losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments, including from a shortfall in the customer transaction fund flow from which the Company would normally collect amounts due.
The allowance is determined through an analysis of various factors including the financial condition of the customer, the aging of the accounts receivable, the strength of the relationship with the customer, the capacity of the customer transaction fund flow to satisfy the amount due from the customer, and an assessment of collection costs and other factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is management’s best estimate as of the respective reporting date. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances against the allowance for doubtful accounts when management determines the balance is uncollectible and the Company ceases collection efforts. Management believes that the allowance recorded is adequate to provide for its estimated credit losses.
FINANCE RECEIVABLES
The Company offers extended payment terms to certain customers for equipment sales under its Quick Start Program. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification® (“ASC”) Topic 840,842, “Leases”, agreements under the Quick Start Program qualify for sales-type lease accounting. Accordingly, the future minimum lease payments are classified as finance receivables in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance receivables or Quick Start leases are generally for a sixty month term. Finance receivables are carried at their contractual amount net of allowance of credit losses when management determines that it is probable a loss has been incurred. Finance receivables are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when management determines that the finance receivables are uncollectible and the Company ceases collection efforts. The Company recognizes a portion of the note or lease payments as interest income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements based on the effective interest rate method.
INVENTORY, NET
Inventory consists of finished goods. The company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, generally using a weighted-average cost method.
The Company establishes allowances for obsolescence ofslow-moving inventory based upon quality considerations and assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET
Property and equipment are recorded at either cost or, in the instance of an acquisition, the estimated fair value on the date of the acquisition, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the respective lease termterm. Depreciation expense on our property and areequipment, excluding property and equipment used for rentals, is included in “Depreciation and amortization"amortization” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depreciation expense on our property and equipment used for rentals is included in “Cost of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additions and improvements that extend the estimated lives of the assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets purchased in acquisitions. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”. Under ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is subject to periodic testing for impairment. Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. We test goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value using a market approach. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which, if any, the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized cannot
exceed the reporting unit’s goodwill balance. The Company has selected April 1 as its annual test date. The Company has concluded there has been no0 impairment of goodwill during the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, 2018, or 2017.2018.
The Company's intangible assets include trademarks, non-compete agreements, brand, developed technology, customer relationships and tradenames and were acquired in a purchase business combination. The Company carries these intangibles at
cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which span between three and eighteen years, and are included in “Depreciation and amortization" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
There were no0 indefinite-lived intangible assets at June 30, 20192020 or 2018.2019.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, theThe Company reviews its definite lived long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets exceeds its net realizable value, the asset will be written down to its fair value. In the period when the plan of sale criteria of ASC 360 are met, definite
Definite lived long-lived assets are reported as held for sale depreciationwhen management commits to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group, the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale and amortization cease,is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, an active program to sell has been initiated, the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a sale within one year, and it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortized and the assets are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
The Company has concluded that the carrying amount of definite lived long-lived assets is recoverable as of June 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Under ASC 820
Fair value is defined as the Company usesprice that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs fromused in the three levels of thevaluation methodologies in measuring fair value hierarchy to measure its financial assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1‑ Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2‑ Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3‑ Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available.
CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
Concentration of revenue with customers subject the Company to operating risks. Approximately 17%16%, 16%17% and 25%16% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 2018 and 2017,2018, respectively, were concentrated with one customer. The Company’s customers are principally located in the United States.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective transition method to all open contracts with customers that were not completed as of June 30, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic revenue recognition methodology under ASC 605.
Revenue Recognition Under ASC 606 (Periods Subsequent to July 1, 2018)
The new revenue recognition guidance provides a single model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue using a five-step model resulting in revenue being recognized as performance
obligations within a contract have been satisfied. The steps within that model include: (i) identifying the existence of a contract with a customer; (ii) identifying the performance obligations within the contract; (iii) determining the contract’s transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and, (v) recognizing revenue as the contract’s performance obligations are satisfied. Judgment is required to apply the principles-based, five-step model for revenue recognition. Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions about the Company’s contracts with its customers, including, among others, the nature and extent of its performance obligations, its transaction price amounts and any allocations thereof, the events which constitute satisfaction of its performance obligations, and when control of any promised goods or services is transferred to its customers. The new standard also requires certain incremental costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract to be deferred and amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to the customer.
The Company provides an end-to-end payment solution which integrates hardware, software, and payment processing in the self-service retail market. The Company has contractual agreements with customers that set forth the general terms and conditions of the relationship, including pricing of goods and services, payment terms and contract duration. Revenue is recognized when the obligation under the terms of the Company’s contract with its customer is satisfied and is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.
The Company’s business model is to act as the Merchant of Record for its sellers. We provide cashless vending payment services in exchange for monthly service fees, in addition to collecting usage-based consideration for completed transactions. The contracts we enter into with third-party suppliers provide us with the right to access and direct their services when processing a transaction. The Company combines the services provided by third-party suppliers to enable customers to accept cashless payment transactions, indicating that it controls all inputs in directing their use to create the combined service. Additionally, USAT sells cashless payment devices (e.g., e-Ports, Seed), which are either directly sold or leased through the Company's QuickStart or JumpStart programs.
Cashless vending services represent a single performance obligation as the combination of the services provided gives the customer the ability to accept cashless payments. The Company’s customers are contracting for integrated cashless services in connection with purchasing or leasing unattended point-of-sale devices. The activities when combined together are so integral to the customer’s ability to derive benefit from the service, that the activities are effectively inputs to a single promise to the customer. Certain services are distinct, but are not accounted for separately as the rights are coterminous, they are transferred concurrently and the outcome is the same as accounting for the services as individual performance obligations. The single performance obligation is determined to be a stand-ready obligation to process payments whenever a consumer intends to make a purchase at a point-of-sale device. As the Company is unable to predict the timing and quantity of transactions to be processed, the assessment of the nature of the performance obligation is focused on each time increment rather than the underlying activity. Therefore, cashless vending services are viewed to comprise a series of distinct days of service that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. As a result, the promise to stand ready is accounted for as a single performance obligation.
Revenue related to cashless vending services is recognized over the period in which services are provided, with usage-based revenue recognized as transactions occur. Consideration for this service includes fixed fees for standing ready to process transactions, and generally also includes usage-based fees, priced as a percentage of transaction value and/or a specified fee per transaction processed. The total transaction price of usage-based services is determined to be variable consideration as it is based on unknown quantities of services to be performed over the contract term. The underlying variability is satisfied each day the service is performed and provided to the customer. Clients are billed for cashless vending services on a monthly basis and for transaction processing as transactions occur. Payment is due based on the Company’s standard payment terms which is typically within 30 to 60 days of invoice issuance.
Equipment sales represent a separate performance obligation, the majority of which is satisfied at a point in time through outright sales or sales-type leases (ASC 840 for years ended June 30, 2019 and prior and ASC 842 for years after) when the equipment is delivered to the customer. Revenues related to JumpStart equipment are recognized over time as the customer obtains the right to use the equipment through an operating lease. Clients are billed for equipment sales on a monthly basis, with payment due based on the Company’s standard payment terms which is typically within 30 to 60 days of invoice issuance.
USAT will occasionally offer volume discounts, rebates or credits on certain contracts, which is considered variable consideration. USAT uses either the most-likely or estimated value method to estimate the amount of the consideration, based on what the Company expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled to on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company will qualitatively assess if the variable consideration should be constrained to prevent possible significant reversal of revenue, as applicable.
The Company assesses the goods and/or services promised in each customer contract and separately identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a distinct good or service. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract using relative standalone selling prices. The Company determines standalone selling
prices based on the price at which a good or service is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through historic data, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by considering all reasonably available information, including market data, trends, as well as other company- or customer-specific factors.
The Company recognizes fees charged to our customers primarily on a gross basis as transaction revenue when we are the principal in respect of completing a payment transaction. As a principal to the transaction, when we are the Merchant of Record, we control the service of completing payments for our customers through the payment ecosystem. The fees paid to payment processors and other financial institutions are recognized as transaction expense. For certain transactions in which we act in the capacity as an agent, these transactions are recorded on a net basis. These are transactions in which we are not the Merchant of Record, and the customer is entering into a separate arrangement with a third party payment processor for the fulfillment of the payment service.
Warranties and Returns
The Company offers standard warranties that provide the customer with assurance that its equipment will function in accordance with contract specifications. The Company's standard warranties are not sold separately, but are included with each customer purchase. Warranties are not considered separate performance obligations and, therefore, are estimated and recorded at the time of sale. The Company estimates an allowance for equipment returns at the date of sale on a monthly basis. The estimate of expected returns is calculated in the same way as other variable consideration. The expected value method is generally used to predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled.
Accounts Receivable and Contract Liabilities
A contract with a customer creates legal rights and obligations. As the Company satisfies performance obligations under customer contracts, a right to unconditional consideration is recorded as an account receivable.
Contract liabilities represent consideration received from customers in excess of revenues recognized (i.e., deferred revenue). Contract liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying contractual rights and obligations.
Contract Costs
The Company incurs costs to obtain contracts with customers, primarily in the form of commissions to sales employees. The Company recognizes as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover these costs. The Company currently does not incur material costs to fulfill its obligations under a contract once it is obtained but before transferring goods or services to the customer. Contract costs are amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. A straight-line or proportional amortization method is used depending upon which method best depicts the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to the customer. The Company’s contracts frequently contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and overtime. In these instances, the Company amortizes the contract costs proportionally with the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. Amortization of costs to obtain a contract are classified as selling, general and administrative expense. In addition, these contract costs are evaluated for impairment by comparing, on a pooled basis, the expected future net cash flows from underlying customer relationships to the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs.
In order to determine the appropriate amortization period for contract costs, the Company considers a number of factors, including expected early terminations, estimated terms of customer relationships, the useful lives of technology USAT uses to provide goods and services to its customers, whether future contract renewals are expected and if there is any incremental commission to be paid on a contract renewal. The Company amortizes these assets over the expected period of benefit. Costs to obtain a contract with an expected period of benefit of one year or less are expensed when incurred.
Revenue Recognition Under ASC 605 (Periods Prior to July 1, 2018)
Revenue from the sale of QuickStart lease of equipment is recognized on the terms of free-on-board shipping point. Transaction processing revenue is recognized upon the usage of the Company’s cashless payment and control network. License fees for access to the Company’s devices and network services are recognized on a monthly basis. In all cases, revenue is only recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company estimates an allowance for product returns at the date of sale and license and transaction fee refunds on a monthly basis.
Hardware is available to customers under the QuickStart program pursuant to which the customer would enter into a five-year non-cancelable lease with either the Company or a third-party leasing company for the devices. The Company utilizes its best
estimate of selling price when calculating the revenue to be recorded under these leases. The QuickStart contracts qualify for sales type lease accounting. At lease inception, the Company recognizes revenue and creates a finance receivable in an amount that represents the present value of minimum lease payments. Accordingly, a portion of the lease payments are recognized as interest income. At the end of the lease period, the customer would have the option to purchase the device at its residual value. Any customer payments received in advance and prior to the Company satisfying any performance obligations are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized as revenue is recognized.
Equipment Rental
The Company offers its customers a rental program for its hardware devices, the JumpStart program (“JumpStart”). JumpStart terms are typically 36 months and are cancellable with 30 to 60 days' written notice. In accordance with ASC 840, “Leases”, the Company classifies the rental agreements as operating leases, with service fee revenue related to the leases included in license and transaction fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Costs for the JumpStart revenue, which consist of depreciation expense on the JumpStart equipment, are included in cost of services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Equipment utilized by the JumpStart program is included in property and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Lessee Accounting

The Company has contractualoperating and finance leases for office space, warehouses, automobiles and office equipment. USAT’s leases have lease terms of one year to eight years and some include options to extend and/or terminate the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal options are included in the determination of the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or any material restrictive covenants.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate, which is the collateralized rate of interest that we would pay to borrow over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. USAT has lease agreements with customers that set forth the general termslease and conditions of the relationship, including pricing of goods and services, payment terms and contract duration.

Lessor Accounting
Lessor accounting remained substantially unchanged with usage-based revenue recognizedthe adoption of Topic 842. The Company offers its customers financing for the lease of our POS electronic payment devices. We account for these transactions as transactions occur. Consideration for this service includes fixed fees for standing ready to process transactions,sales-type leases. Our sales-type leases generally have a non-cancellable term of 60 months. Certain leases contain an end-of-term purchase option that is generally insignificant and generally also includes usage-based fees, priced as a percentage of transaction value and/or a specified fee per transaction processed. The total transaction price of usage-based services is determinedreasonably certain to be variable considerationexercised by the lessee.

In order to determine the appropriate amortization period for contract costs, the Company considers a number of factors, including expected early terminations, estimated terms of customer relationships, the useful lives of technology USAT uses to provide goods and services to its customers, whether future contract renewals are expected and if therelease payments as interest income. Revenue from operating leases is any incremental commission to be paid on a contract renewal.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING
Shipping and handling fees billed to our customers in connection with sales are recorded as revenue. The costs incurred for shipping and handling of our product are recorded as cost of equipment.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $0.7 million, $0.7 million, and $0.4 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and primarily consist of personnel, contractors and product development costs. Research and development expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $3.8 million, $4.6 million $1.3 million and $1.4$1.3 million, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017,2018, respectively. Our research and development initiatives focus on adding features and functionality to our system solutions through the development and utilization of our processing and reporting network and new technology.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
We capitalize qualifying internally-developed software development costs incurred during the application development stage, as long as it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization of such costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalized software development costs are included in “Property and equipment, net” on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives
ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY AWARDS
In accordance with ASC 718, theThe cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of the award and allocated over the requisite service period of the award. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
LOSS CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in litigation, claims, contingencies and other legal matters. We record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We expense legal costs, including those legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency, as incurred.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The
measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,whichprovides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financialstatements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to be recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general and administrative expenses. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions incurred during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 20172018 were immaterial.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The tax years ended June 30, 20162017 through June 30, 20192020 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. While the statute of limitations has expired for years prior to the year ended June 30, 2016,2017, changes in reported losses for those years could be made examination by tax authorities to the extent that operating loss carryforwards from those prior years impact upon taxable income in current years. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company did not have any income tax examinations in process.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents unless the effects of such common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive. For the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 2018 and 20172018, no effect for common stock equivalents was considered in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting pronouncements adopted
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"), which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We early adopted ASU 2017-04 for impairment tests to be performed on testing dates after
ASC Topic 842 - Leases
On July 1, 2017, which did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which modifies the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when stock awards vest or are settled. In addition, cash flows related to excess tax benefits are to be separately classified as an operating activity apart from other income tax cash flows. The standard also allows2019, the Company to repurchase more of an employee’s vested shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, and clarifies that all cash payments made to tax authorities on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard as of July 1, 2017.
The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the Company's provision for income taxes which is applied prospectively starting July 1, 2017 in accordance with the guidance. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of $31 thousand of excess tax benefits in the Company's provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2018. Through June 30, 2017 excess tax benefits were reflected as a reduction of deferred tax assets via reducing actual operating loss carryforwards because such benefits had not reduced income taxes payable. Under the new standard the treatment of excess tax benefits changed and the cumulative excess tax benefits as of June 30, 2017 amounting to $67 thousand were credited to accumulated deficit.
The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 did not impact our statement of cash flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740), Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118." The standard adds guidance to ASC 740, Income Taxes, that contain SEC guidance
related to SAB 118. The standard is effective upon issuance. Refer to Note 15 for further information regarding the impact of the standard.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” ASU 2017-01 provides guidance in ascertaining whether a collection of assets and activities is considered a business. The Company adopted this standard as of July 1, 2018, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting.” The standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require modification accounting, which may result in a different fair value for the award. The Company adopted this standard as of July 1, 2018, and it will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. Its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new guidance makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard as of July 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“the New Standard”). The New Standard provides a single model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The New Standard also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows rising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the New Standard on July 1, 2018,Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method appliedapplying the guidance to those contracts which were not completedleases existing as of July 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic revenue recognition methodology under ASC 605. Refer to Note 5 for further discussion.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory,” which simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company early adopted this guidance during fiscal year 2017, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments”, whicheffective date. Topic 842 requires, that the acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional purchase accounting amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the purchase accounting adjustment is determined. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015‑17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", which will require entities to present all deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. The Company early adopted this guidance for fiscal year 2017 on a prospective basis. As a result of the adoption, $2.3 million of deferred tax assets were reclassified from current to noncurrent assets as of June 30, 2016.
Accounting pronouncements to be adopted
The Company is evaluating whether the effects of the following recent accounting pronouncements, or any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which will require, among other items, lessees to recognize a right of usean ROU asset and a related lease liability for most leases on the balance sheet. QualitativeLessees and lessors are required to disclose quantitative disclosures will be enhancedand qualitative information about leasing arrangements to better understandenable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this new guidancedetermined that there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet. We will continue to report periods prior to July 1, 2019 usingin our financial statements under prior guidance as outlined in Topic 840.
The Company’s adoption of Topic 842 resulted in an increase in the optional modified retrospective transition method. The Company expects the adoption to result in gross up on its consolidated balance sheets from the recognition ofCompany’s assets and liabilities arising out of operating leases.approximately $3.9 million at July 1, 2019, and did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or its consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, there was no impact on the Company’s covenant compliance under its then-current debt agreements as a result of the adoption of Topic 842. The Company will recognize assets forelected the right to use the underlying leased property during the lease term and will recognize liabilities for the corresponding financial obligation to make lease payments to the lessor.
The Company plans to elect the transition package of practical expedients permitted withinincluded in this guidance, which allowed it to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and, (iii) the initial direct costs. The Company iscosts for existing leases.

Additionally, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of the standard will impact any debt covenants or result in significant changes to the internal processes, including the internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s operating leases primarily comprise of office facilities, with the most significant leases relating to corporate headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania and an office in San Francisco, California. The Company is in the process of finalizing changes to its systems and processes in conjunction with its review of lease agreements and will disclose the actual impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 in its interim report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, “Codification Improvements”.

Disaggregated Revenue
Based on similar operational and economic characteristics, the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by License and Transaction Feestransaction fees and Equipment Sales,sales, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes these revenue categories depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are influenced by economic factors, and also representsrepresent the level at which management makes operating decisions and assesses financial performance.
Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations
In determining the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations, we did not include non-recurring charges. Further, we applied the practical expedient to not consider arrangements with an original expected duration of one year or less, which are primarily month to month rental agreements. The majority of contracts are considered to have a contractual term of between 36 and 60 months based on implied and explicit termination penalties. These amounts will be converted into revenue in future periods as work is performed, primarily based on the services provided or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable accounting method.
The following table reflects the estimated fees to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at the end of the period:

Amounts allocated to intangible assets included $18.9 million related to customer relationships, $10.3 million related to developed technology, and $1.6 million related to trade names. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was determined using the excess earnings method. The fair value of both the acquired developed technology and the acquired trade names was determined using the relief from royalty method. The estimated useful life of the acquired intangible assets ranged from 6 to 18 years, with a weighted average estimated useful life of 13 years. The related amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis.
Goodwill of $52.5 million arising from the acquisition includes the expected synergies between Cantaloupe and the Company, the value of the employee workforce, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at the time of acquisition. The goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, was assigned to the Company’s only reporting unit.

7. LOSS PER SHARE CALCULATION
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, applicable only to years ended with reported income, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock-based awards using the treasury stock method.

Sale of Finance Receivables
The Company accounts for transfers of finance receivables as sales when it has surrendered control over the related assets. Whether control has been relinquished requires, among other things, an evaluation of relevant legal considerations and an assessment of the nature and extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred. During fiscal year 2018, the Company transferred certain groups of finance receivables with no recourse to third-party financing entities for approximately $2.3 million. The transfers were accounted for as sales with derecognition of the associated finance receivables. Gains and losses stemming from such transfers are immaterial.
Transfers of finance receivables that do not qualify for sale accounting are reported as collateralized borrowings. Accordingly, the related assets remain on the Company’s balance sheet and continue to be reported and accounted for as if the transfer had not occurred. Cash proceeds from these transfers are reported as financing obligations (debt), with attributable interest expense recognized over the life of the related transactions. During December 2017, the Company transferred certain groups of finance receivables to third-party financing entities for approximately $1.1 million. Such transfers are subject to recourse provisions for the first 3 months after the date of transfer, after which the recourse provisions expire. Accordingly, the related finance receivables remained on the balance sheet at December 31, 2017 and the cash proceeds of approximately $1.1 million were reported as financing obligations at December 31, 2017. During March 2018, the recourse provisions expired resulting in the finance receivables and financing obligations being derecognized.

The Amendment provided that the payment would be in full satisfaction of any and all liquidated damages which may be due by the Company to Antara under the Registration Rights Agreement for the failure to timely file the Form S-1 registration statement and/or to obtain and maintain the effectiveness thereof.

15. INCOME TAXES
The Company has significant deferred tax assets, a substantial amount of which result from operating loss carryforwards. The Company routinely evaluates its ability to realize the benefits of these assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that such benefit will be realized. In periods prior to the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s evaluation of its ability to realize the benefit from its deferred tax assets resulted in a full valuation allowance against such assets. Based upon earnings performance that the Company had achieved along with the belief that such performance would continue into future years, the Company determined during the year ended June 30, 2014 that it was more likely than not that a substantial portion of its deferred tax assets would be realized with approximately $64 million of its operating loss carryforwards being utilized to offset corresponding future years’ taxable income resulting in a reduction in its valuation allowances recorded in prior years. However, due to the adjustments to earnings and management's reassessment of the underlying factors it uses in estimating future taxable income, and in accordance with the history of losses generated, the Company believes that for the year ended June 30, 2016 and onward, it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company re-established a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

STOCK OPTIONS
Stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The options typically vest over a three-yearthree to four-year period and each option, if not exercised or terminated, expires on the seventh anniversary of the grant date.
The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the stock options it grants using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company’s assumption for expected volatility is based on its historical volatility data related to market trading of its own common stock. The Company bases its assumptions foruses the simplified method to determine expected term, as the Company does not have adequate historical exercise and forfeiture behavior on which to base the expected life of the new stock option grants on the life of the option granted, and if relevant, its analysis of the historical exercise patterns of its stock options.assumption. The dividend yield assumption is based on dividends expected to be paid over the expected life of the stock option. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined by using the U.S. Treasury rates of the same period as the expected option term of each stock option.
The fair value of options granted during the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 20172018 was determined using the following assumptions:

STOCK GRANTS
The Company grants shares of common stock to executive officers pursuant to long-term stock incentive plans ("LTIPs"(“LTIPs”) under which executive officers are awarded shares of common stock of the Company in the event that certain targets are achieved. These achievement targets are typically aligned with specified ranges of year-over-year percentage growth in metrics such as total number of connections and adjusted EBITDA. If none of the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not be awarded any shares. Assuming the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the award would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric. The shares awarded under the LTIPs typically vest as follows: one-third at the time of issuance; one-third on the one-year anniversary of the fiscal year end for which the shares were awarded; and one-third on the two-year anniversary of the fiscal year end for which the shares were awarded.
The Company also grants shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units (RSUs) to members of the board of directors as compensation for their service on the board.board as well as to employees as additional compensation. These stock awards to directors typically vest over a twoone to three year period.

17. PREFERRED STOCK
The authorized Preferred Stock 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. As of June 30, 20192020 each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible
into 0.1988 of a share of Common Stock and each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 0.1988 of a vote on all matters on which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote. Series A Preferred Stock provides for an annual cumulative dividend of $1.50 per share, payable when, and if declared by the Board of Directors, to the shareholders of record in equal parts on February 1 and August 1 of each year. Any and all accumulated and unpaid cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock must be declared and paid prior to the declaration and payment of any dividends on the Common Stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock may be called for redemption at the option of the Board of Directors for a price of $11.00 per share plus payment of all accrued and unpaid dividends. NoNaN such redemption has occurred as of June 30, 2019.2020. In the event of any liquidation as defined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, 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.

The Series A Preferred Stock liquidation preference as of June 30, 20192020 and 20182019 is as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |

The Company intends to consolidate its Portland and San Francisco office into this new office location.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(i) Background.
Prior to filing of this Form 10-K, we have neither issued audited financial statements, nor filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2018, respectively. Consequently, management previously had not evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures since as of March 31, 2018 or our internal controls over financial reporting since as of June 30, 2017. As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2019, management’s and its independent auditor’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017 should no longer be relied upon.
As more fully explained in our Explanatory Note, the remedial measures undertaken in response to the Audit Committee’s investigation and the non-investigatory issues that were identified by current management and our independent auditor during the audit process, and the conclusions that our current management reached in its evaluations of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, are described below.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described with this item 9A, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Management’s belief is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
The completion of the Audit Committee’s investigation and the substantial resources expended (including the use of external consultants) and the resulting adjustments we made to our previously issued financial statements, including the restatement of our fiscal year 2017 audited financial statements and our unaudited quarterly and year-to-date financial statements for September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018;
The subsequent identification by management and our independent auditor during the audit process of non-investigatory issues, leading to the adjustment of our previously issued and non-issued financial statements, including the restatement of our fiscal year 2015 and 2016 selected financial data contained in Item 6 of this Form 10-K and our quarterly and year-to-date financial statements for September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017;
Based on the actions described above, we have updated, and in some cases corrected, our accounting policies and have applied those to our previously issued financial statements and to our fiscal year 2018 and 2019 financial statements; and
Certain remedial actions we have undertaken to address the identified material weaknesses, as discussed below.
Audit Committee Investigation and Subsequent Restatement
On September 11, 2018, the Company announced that the Audit Committee with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, was in the process of conducting an internal investigation of current and prior period matters relating to certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements. The Audit Committee’s investigation focused principally on certain customer transactions entered into by the Company during fiscal years 2017 and 2018. As a result of the investigation, the Audit Committee proposed certain adjustments to previously reported revenues related to fiscal quarters occurring during the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years of the Company.
On February 4, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, and based upon the adjustments to previously reported revenues proposed by the Audit Committee, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017; and (2) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018.
The investigatory adjustments are further discussed in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, located in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Non-Investigatory Adjustments Identified During the Audit Process
During the audit process, financial reporting issues were identified by current management, including our new interim Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), and our new independent auditor, which were unrelated to the internal investigation and which resulted in further adjustments to the Company’s previously issued or prior fiscal years’ unissued financial statements. These issues were due to the lack of supporting evidence for various historical accounting reserves or accounting policies, failure to adequately and consistently complete the financial integration of Cantaloupe, and the inadequate performance of our internal controls during the 2019 fiscal year.
Based upon these non-investigatory adjustments, on October 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015; (2) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; and (3) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017.
The non-investigatory adjustments are further discussed in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, located in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

(ii)(i) | Evaluation of disclosure controlsDisclosure Controls and proceduresProcedures. |
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company’sOur disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019. Based on this evaluation, they conclude that because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Companyus in the reports that it fileswe file or submitssubmit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and formsforms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Companyus in the reports that it fileswe file or submitssubmit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’sour management, including its principal executivethe Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions,Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(iii)Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), have concluded that, due to the existence of one deficiency that rose to the level of a material weakness, and based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020.
Notwithstanding the existence of the material weakness described below, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(ii)Management’s reportReport on internal controlInternal Control over financial reportingFinancial Reporting.
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act RuleRules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process affecteddesigned by, or under the Company’s managementsupervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.principles.
In designingManagement, including our Chief Executive Officer and evaluating our internal controls and procedures, our management recognized that internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only a reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal controls and procedures are met. In addition, any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting in future periods is subject to risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s managementChief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of itsthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019.2020. In making this assessment, itmanagement used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission’s 2013 Internal Control-IntegratedControl‑Integrated Framework. Based on itsIt is management’s assessment as well as factors identified duringthat the Audit Committee investigation and subsequent audit process, management has concluded that that ourCompany did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019 was not effective due2020. Management has identified a weakness related to assessing the accounting impact of a non-routine and complex transaction. Specifically this related to the existenceCompany’s August 14, 2020 debt re-financing activities whereby management, in assessing the impact of the material weaknessesanticipated refinancing on the June 30, 2020 financial statements, originally reached the wrong conclusion related to the accounting for debt issuance costs related to the senior secured term loan facility with Antara Capital Master Fund LP. However, the proper accounting treatment for such costs was applied in internal control overboth the fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial reportingresults reported in this Form 10-K. As described below.previously, this re-financing was a unique transaction, would not be expected to re-occur within the normal course of business and occurred subsequent to the Company’s fiscal year-end of June 30, 2020.
BDO USA, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements included in this Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.
| |
| (iii) (a). | Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Identified in Prior Years. |
As more fully disclosed in our June 30, 2019 Form 10-K, we identified and reported several material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the timeliness of our internal controls, application of our accounting methodologies and financial controls associated with the company’s integration of Cantaloupe Systems in fiscal year 2018. Consistent with our remediation plan, we have designed, implemented, and tested these controls to fully remediate these prior year material weaknesses.
Remediation actions taken include:
Implemented a risk-based internal controls program and integrated specific internal controls into major business processes including customer contracting, revenue recognition and financial closing to ensure consistent application, appropriate documentation and timeliness of completion.
Developed formal accounting methodologies and policies for financial accounting processes that are based upon assumptions, are technical and complex in nature, and require judgment to conclude on the appropriate accounting and reporting treatment.
Completed the integration of major business processes associated with the Cantaloupe acquisition including combining external customer-facing sales and customer support activities in addition to internal support functions including contracts and billing administration, accounts payable, payroll, information technology administration and accounting and reporting.
Additionally, management has improved the overall internal control environment by improving the flow of information and communication across the organization, implemented processes designed to identify and manage risk, and established a compliance organization to ensure that the monitoring of key internal controls and processes is performed.
These remediation efforts were designed in conjunction with the Company’s remediation plan and implemented according to internal control standards adopted by the Company in this fiscal year. Using this foundation of internal control, and as supported by the current leadership team, management has and will continue to make enhancements to various business and administrative processes and information systems to help ensure that new processes and controls are properly designed, meet the company’s internal controls requirements, and are formalized to support independent monitoring and testing.
| |
| (iii) (b). | Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Identified in the Current Year. |
Specific to the current year’s material weakness, as disclosed above, and the re-classification of certain costs associated with the August 14, 2020 re-financing, management has reinforced its existing internal control structure designed to ensure that one-time, large and unusual transactions are subject to timely and formal evaluation by senior finance and accounting leadership. Management will continue to review all one-time and unusual transactions to ensure proper accounting treatment.
| |
| (iv) | Material Weaknesses Identified and Remedial Measures Implemented Based upon Audit Committee Investigation.
|
Based on the principal findings of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee, management has concluded that it did not maintain an appropriate control environment, inclusive of structure and responsibility, and risk assessment and monitoring activities which led to revenue recognition, tonal concerns, and communication issues and which constituted the following material weaknesses:
| |
A. | Pressure to achieve sales targets gave rise to the premature and/or inappropriate recognition of revenues and reporting of connections associated with certain of the examined transactions, typically occurring at or near the end of financial reporting periods; |
| |
B. | On multiple occasions, the Company’s finance function was not timely or fully apprised of the salient transaction terms in order to permit them to properly evaluate the accounting treatment of a given transaction; |
| |
C. | The Company’s internal controls failed and/or were not adequate to ensure that there was effective communication between the sales and finance functions of the Company so as to allow proper and timely evaluation of the accounting treatment of the examined transactions; |
| |
D. | Senior management did not timely or fully report certain employee complaints and concerns to the independent auditor and/or the Audit Committee; and |
| |
E. | Senior management did not timely or thoroughly investigate or effectively remediate certain employee complaints or concerns relating to compliance and/or financial reporting matters. |
As previously reported, and as more fully described below, the Board determined to implement significant remedial measures to address the findings of the Audit Committee. The Company has substantially completed the implementation of the remedial measures as identified in the Audit Committee investigation, and believes that the implementation of these measures will effectively address the tonal issues identified by the internal investigation and provide for a sustained culture of compliance.
Enhancing the Company’s internal controls, particularly those relating to unusual or quarter end customer transactions and communication between the sales and finance departments.
The Company has implemented a new customer contract approval process which applies to each new customer order and focuses specifically on ensuring that any non-standard terms and conditions are fully considered prior to the transaction being approved. The process is designed to ensure that there is appropriate interaction/communication between the sales and finance teams. As part of this process, all new customer contracts are required to be routed by the sales team to the Company’s CFO for review and approval, including an accounting treatment analysis.
The Company intends to continue to enhance and improve its internal control environment as part of its Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements and in conjunction with process changes being planned for fiscal year 2020.
Mandatory training for the sales department.
The Company has conducted a series of compliance outreach and training for its sales department which will continue into fiscal year 2020. These training sessions included a review of the new sales process described above and discussion and training relating to potential improper customer transactions identified by the internal investigation. These trainings also included a review of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) and the Employee Complaints & Whistleblower Policy (the “Whistleblower Policy”).
Claw-back of any appropriate compensation under the Company’s incentive compensation plans.
In July 2019, the Board approved a new Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) that had been developed and recommended by the Compensation Committee. The Clawback Policy is effective as of July 1, 2019 and applies to any incentive compensation that may have been paid, settled or awarded to an executive officer thereafter under any Company policy, plan or program.
The Compensation Committee has determined that based upon the restated financial statements for the 2017 fiscal year, the awards paid or issued to the executive officers under the Company’s incentive compensation bonus plans for the 2017 fiscal year were in excess of what they would have been under the restated financial results. The Company’s Clawback Policy would not apply to these awards as the policy only applies to incentive compensation paid or issued to our executive officers prospectively since its
adoption in July 2019. The March 27, 2019 settlement agreement between Michael Lawlor, our former Chief Services Officer, and the Company provides for the claw back by the Company of any overpayment made to Mr. Lawlor. Stephen Herbert, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), has voluntarily agreed to the claw back of any overpayment.
Expanding the Company’s public disclosure regarding connections.
Management has expanded the definition of the Company’s connection count which, among other things, clarifies that the count reflects devices that may not be installed in a customer’s vending machine or which were previously installed but have subsequently become inactive.
Company-wide training about compliance matters, including with respect to employee complaints and concerns and enhancement of the customer contracting process.
The Company has conducted Company-wide training sessions which will continue into fiscal year 2020. These sessions focused on a number of areas related to sensitivity training/tonal concerns, including increased promotion and training around the Code of Conduct and the Whistleblower Policy, and a review of potential improper contractual arrangements identified by the internal investigation. The Company is in the process of designing and implementing a more formalized compliance program with the goal of sustaining a culture of compliance.
Considering appropriate employment actions relating to certain employees.
In January 2019, the Company implemented a senior leadership reorganization pursuant to which, among other things, the Company retained a new Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and a new Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and separated the employment of our former Chief Services Officer (“CSO”).
Enhancing the internal compliance and legal functions, and authorizing management to retain the appropriate individual or individuals.
As part of the senior leadership reorganization referred to above, we have retained a new CCO and a new COO, each of whom has enhanced the internal compliance function.
The Board has established a new standing Committee of the Board, the Compliance Committee, which has oversight responsibility for the Company’s compliance functions and for supervising the Company’s CCO. The Board has appointed Donald Layden, Ingrid Stafford and Joel Brooks as members of the new Compliance Committee.
As also discussed above, the Company has enhanced its internal control environment and redesigned its new contract approval process. This process includes coordination among the leadership team with representation from sales, finance, legal counsel, and others as appropriate.
Management has identified the need for an internal, management-led compliance committee which would assist the Company on an ongoing basis in understanding and promoting a wide range of both internal and regulatory compliance requirements. The internal committee will consist of a cross section of management, including both the CCO and legal counsel, and would meet at least quarterly.
The Company has enhanced its Whistleblower Policy by including our CCO in the investigation, documentation and resolution process.
During January 2019, the Board split the roles of Chairman and CEO.
The Board authorized the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to identify additional independent directors who had corporate governance or auditing experience, and in April 2019 appointed each of Donald Layden, Patricia Oelrich and Ingrid Stafford as independent directors.
| |
(v) | Material Weaknesses Identified and Remedial Measures Implemented as a Result of Non-Investigatory Issues Identified During the Audit Process.
|
During the audit process, and subsequent to June 30, 2019, financial reporting and accounting policy issues were identified by current management, including our new interim CFO, and our new independent auditor, that were unrelated to the internal investigation. These issues resulted in material adjustments to our fiscal year 2015 through 2019 financial statements, including the restatement of the fiscal year 2015 and 2016 selected financial data contained in Item 6 of this Form 10-K, and the quarterly
and year-to-date unaudited financial statements for September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017 which are contained in Note 20, “Unaudited Quarterly Data”, of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements, located in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
We have identified the following material weaknesses in connection with the non-investigatory issues:
RISK ASSESSMENT, CONTROL ENVIRONMENT, AND MONITORING
| |
A. | Management did not effectively design controls in response to the risks of material misstatement and specifically did not have an adequate process or appropriate business combination controls in place to prevent or detect material errors in the financial statements of Cantaloupe, our subsidiary acquired on November 9, 2017. There was not a full nor effective financial integration of Cantaloupe resulting in significant adjustments as follows: |
Certain trade and finance receivables relating to customer leasing/rental contracts of Cantaloupe were double counted by the Company on the opening balance sheet, and the Company’s sales-type lease accounting policy was not consistently or accurately applied by the Company to these contracts subsequent to the date of the acquisition.
In several cases, current management reversed previously recorded revenue associated with certain incorrect customer transactions and recorded accruals for potential uncollectible amounts due from customers.
Management has now determined the correct original amount of finance receivables and the proper balance for this and the other assets and liabilities acquired by the Company in its acquisition of Cantaloupe.
Cantaloupe’s goodwill had been incorrectly calculated using the Company’s weighted average stock price for the period leading up to the closing of the transaction. Current management has determined that the stock should have been valued on the November 9, 2017 opening balance sheet using the sale price on the date of closing resulting in an increase of approximately $3.5 million to goodwill and equity.
We have concluded that we did not have appropriate financial reporting controls and processes in place to prevent or detect material errors in the financial statements of Cantaloupe on and subsequent to the acquisition, the financial integration of Cantaloupe was not adequately or consistently performed, and certain accounting practices were not implemented in order to conform to the Company’s existing accounting policies and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
We continue to strengthen our internal controls with respect to Cantaloupe, and continue to refine our processes, procedures and documentation pertaining to our approach to the on-going accounting for Cantaloupe.
CONTROL ENVIRONMENT AND CONTROL ACTIVITIES
| |
B. | Management did not maintain an effective control environment including ensuring that required accounting methodologies, policies and supporting documentation were in place. This control deficiency led to a series of financial adjustments recently identified by both current management and the Company’s independent auditor related to fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017 and resulted in the requirement to restate previously issued financial statements. |
The Company recorded an accrual for the payment of sales taxes in certain states for certain products which affected fiscal years 2016 through 2019 due to the failure to historically account for these matters.
The Company has determined to fully restore its income tax valuation allowance which resulted in a charge to the income statement and a corresponding reduction to retained earnings in fiscal year 2016 due to the lack of supporting evidence for its accounting position.
The Company has determined that the original accounting treatment of a 2014 fiscal year sale-leaseback transaction as an operating lease was incorrect, and should have been treated as a capital lease, and appropriate adjustments have been recorded during fiscal years 2015 through 2019.
Due to incorrect historical accounting treatment, the Company wrote off the outstanding inventory on the balance sheet relating to obsolete inventory during the 2015 through 2019 fiscal years which was returned to the Company by customers in exchange for new equipment as the Company did not have a history of collecting these items and the equipment was obsolete.
The Company had to revise its excess and obsolete inventory reserve analysis to conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as the Company lacked supporting evidence for its historical reserve analysis.
The Company has reversed certain costs which were previously incorrectly capitalized and has now appropriately reclassified debt and preferred stock.
| |
C. | Management did not perform all internal controls in a timely manner throughout the 2019 fiscal year. |
Although key financial closing controls were performed, documented, and tested from April 1 through June 30, 2019, not all of the Company’s internal controls were performed adequately or consistently during the year. Management has concluded that the foregoing was attributable to several factors including the lack of finance leadership during this interim period, not retaining the Company’s third-party professional SOX testing consultant during this interim period, and significant management turnover.
We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes related to these non-investigatory matters and will continue to diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address deficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above. We expect that our remediation efforts, including design and implementation, will continue through fiscal year 2020, with the goal to fully remediate all remaining material weaknesses by fiscal year-end.
| |
(vi) | Changes in internal controlInternal Control over financial reportingFinancial Reporting. |
Other than the ongoing remediation effortscurrent year material weakness and the control improvements described above in the “Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Identified in Prior Years,” there have beenwere no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) provides information regarding our executive compensation philosophy, the elements of our executive compensation program, and the factors that were considered in the compensation actions and decisions for our named executive officers during the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years.2020.

In addition, there were substantial changes in our management team throughout fiscal 2020 (and continuing through fiscal 2021). Therefore, the Compensation Committee (as currently constituted) has been actively restructuring our compensation for, or award any discretionary bonusesprograms throughout the end of fiscal 2020 (and continuing into fiscal 2021) to accommodate these management changes and to design and implement a program that the Compensation Committee believes will better align with the Company’s long-term strategic plan, reflect our executive officers other than discretionary bonuses awarded topay-for-performance philosophy, encourage retention of key executives, and increase alignment between the interests of our new executive officers.executives and our shareholders.

Overview
Investigation and Restatement
As discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, on September 11, 2018, the Company announced that the Audit Committee with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, was in the process of conducting an internal investigation of current and prior period matters relating to certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements. The Audit Committee’s investigation focused principally on certain customer transactions entered into by the Company during fiscal years 2017 and 2018.
On January 14, 2019, the Company reported that the Audit Committee’s internal investigation was substantially completed and described the principal findings of the internal investigation and the remedial actions to be implemented by the Company as a result of the internal investigation. These remedial actions included the retention of a Chief Compliance Officer and aMatthew W. McConnell, our former Chief Operating Officer which were newly created positions, and the separation of our CSO from the Company.
On(through February 4, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, and based upon the adjustments to previously reported revenues proposed by the Audit Committee, determined that the following financial statements previously issued by the Company should no longer be relied upon: (1) the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017; and (2) the quarterly and year-to-date unaudited consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2018. The Company also reported that related press releases, earnings releases, management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon. During the audit process, significant financial reporting issues were identified by current management which were unrelated to the internal investigation and which resulted in further adjustments to the Company’s previously issued or prior fiscal years’ unissued financial statements, including those for the 2017 fiscal year. For more information regarding the restatement, refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements”28, 2020); and Note 20, “Unaudited Quarterly Data”

Key Developments in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.Fiscal 2020
During the Audit Committee’s investigation and the subsequent restatement and audit process, we were delayed in filing our periodic reports with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. As a result, we did not file a Compensation Discussion and Analysis or any other compensation-related information contemplated by Item 402 of Regulation S-K for our fiscal year 2018 actions and decisions. Consequently, those actions and decisions are included as part of the CD&A, together with our actions and decisions for the 2019 fiscal year.
Executive Officer Changes During Fiscal Year2020
Throughout fiscal 2020, our management team underwent a number of key changes (and we have continued to add depth to our management structure in fiscal 2021). Following the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer, Stephen P. Herbert, on October 17, 2019,

As described above, in connection with the 2018 fiscal year ourreplacement of all but two members on the Board on April 26, 2020, the entire membership of the Compensation Committee consisted of Messrs. Moschnerwas replaced with our current members, who include: Michael K. Passilla (Chair), Lisa P. Baird, and Reilly. Effective January 13, 2019,Douglas L. Braunstein.

On April 8, 2019, Mr. Barnhart became a member of the Committee. The Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Reilly, Metzger, and Barnhart.moves forward with its strategic plans.
Our Compensation Process and Philosophy
The Compensation Committee is responsible for annually reviewing and recommending to the Board for approval the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the executive officers of the Company, evaluating the executive officers’ performance in light of those goals and objectives, and recommending for approval to the Board the executive officers’ compensation levels based on this evaluation. DuringFrom time to time, the 2018Compensation Committee may seek input and 2019 fiscal years,recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer assisted the Compensation Committee in establishingregarding the compensation of our other executive officers. The compensation of Mr. Agrawal (who is not an executive officer) was determined by our Chief Executive Officer with input fromofficers; however, the Compensation Committee. At the time of the acquisition of Cantaloupe, and as a condition thereof, the Company and each of Messrs. Agrawal and Arora entered into an employment agreement which set forth his respective compensation arrangements. Our Chief Executive Officer regularly provides information to the Compensation Committee. The Chief Executive Officer is not present during voting or deliberations on his compensation. The Compensation Committee utilizedis empowered to utilize the services of an independent compensation consultant; however, our current Compensation Committee does not retain a compensation consultant. As the Company’s management team and executive compensation programs continue to grow, the Compensation Committee may consider engaging a compensation consultant Willis Towers Watson, in order to assist the Committee in making appropriate recommendations regarding our executive officers’with market analysis and program structure.
The Company’s compensation for the 2018 fiscal year and the 2019 fiscal year.
We have developed a compensation policy thatphilosophy is designed to attract and retain key executives responsible for our success, reflect pay-for-performance, and motivate management to enhancealign management’s interests without the creation of long-term shareholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that compensation of the Company’s executive officers should encourage creation of shareholder value and achievement of strategic corporate objectives, and the Committee seeks to align the interests of the Company’s shareholders and managementthese goals are best accomplished by integrating compensation with the Company’s annual and long-term corporate and financial objectives. The Compensation Committee also seeks to tietying a significant portion of each executive officer’s compensation to key operational and financialthe achievement of performance goals and performance.equity incentives.
We
In particular, the Compensation Committee believes that equity awards are an essential component of an effective compensation program, because they provide a direct link between our shareholders’ interests and our employees, executive officers, directors, and advisors. The Compensation Committee - and the Board - believe that this link is key to the future success of the Company, and have been working to implement changes in the Company’s compensation programs to emphasize equity compensation. Increased emphasis on equity compensation also historically designedenables the Company to conserve cash flow, which has become increasingly important in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and implemented ourits effect worldwide. A more prominent role for equity compensation package in order to be competitive with other companies

In fact, attractive equity compensation consultant,opportunities were a key piece of the arrangements put into place for our new Chief Executive Officer, Sean Feeney (and, in fiscal 2021, for our new Chief Financial Officer, R. Wayne Jackson), and of modifications to motivatethe compensation arrangements for certain of our other NEOs. The Compensation Committee firmly believes that the Company can best attract and retain key talent by providing attractive “upside” growth opportunity if our executive officers. Our compensation package also takes into account individual responsibilities and performance.new leadership succeeds in improving our Company’s past performance, which is directly aligned with our shareholder interests. For further information on fiscal 2020 equity awards, please see the below discussion under “-Equity Awards.”

Other elements of our compensation reflect differentprogram include base salary, annual bonuses, and limited perquisites. For more information, please see the below discussion under “-Elements of Compensation.”
Market Analysis
Although the Compensation Committee may consider the compensation objectives.levels of our competitors in establishing executive compensation, in order to ensure that we are offering attractive and competitive opportunities to adequately retain our key employees, market comparison is only one factor in the Compensation Committee’s analysis. For example,this reason, executive compensation levels are not tied to any specific “benchmark” or other comparative level. The Compensation Committee does not presently maintain a formal, specific peer group of companies against which our compensation programs are compared, but may develop a prescribed peer group (either independently or with the assistance of an independent compensation consultant) as base salariesit continues on the path of enhancing our compensation programs and fiscal 2020 and 2021 management transitions are generally fixedsubstantially completed.
Say-On-Pay
At the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 21, 2020, approximately 16% of our shareholders expressed support for the Company’s fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 NEO compensation programs through our advisory “say-on-pay” vote. However, the Board, after the April 26, 2020 membership changes, recommended that our shareholders vote against that proposal in advancea proxy statement supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2020. The Board’s recommendation related to the fact that none of the yearcurrent Compensation Committee members were involved in whichestablishing fiscal 2018 and 2019 compensation programs, and the current Board’s assessment that our executive compensation programs would substantially benefit from updating and revision, as described in more detail in this CD&A. In particular, as our management transitions are completed through fiscal 2020 and 2021 and our executive compensation programs evolve to fit our new go-forward strategy, our Compensation Committee is focused on increasing the emphasis of equity-based compensation to further link our executive compensation programs with shareholder interests and provide attractive equity growth opportunities to continue to attract and retain key talent, all in line with our pay-for-performance philosophy.
As our executive compensation programs continue to evolve, our Compensation Committee values shareholder feedback, and will be earned, the Committee believes that it is appropriate to determine base salaries with a focus on similarly situated officers at comparable peer group companies, while also having them reflect the officer’s performance. On the other hand, annual incentive bonusesconsider any shareholder suggestions and long-term incentives are better able to reflect the Company’s performance, as measured by total number of connections, total revenues, non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBIDTA, and cash generated from operations. In addition, annual incentive bonuses and long-term incentive awards, including the performance goals upon which they are based, help us to achieve our goal of retaining executives, and motivating executive officers to increase shareholder value. In addition, we may also award discretionary annual bonusescommentary related to our executive officers in appropriate circumstances, including bonuses contingent on continued employment with the Company. The other elements of compensation reflect the Committee’spractices and the Board’s philosophy that personal benefits, including retirement and health benefits, should be available to all employees on a non-discriminatory basis.structures, whether through our annual “say-on-pay” votes or otherwise.
Our Executive Compensation Practices
Our compensation program for our executive officers features many commonly used “best practices” including:
Pay-for-performance. A substantial part of our executive officers’ pay has been, in our view, performance-based. For the 2018 fiscal year, our Chief Executive Officer had approximately 68% of his total target compensation tied to performance, while our former Chief Financial Officer, former Chief Services Officer, and former Chief Product Officer had approximately 59%, 58%, and 67%, respectively, of their total target compensation tied to performance. For the 2018 fiscal year, Mr. Agrawal (who is not an executive officer) had approximately 52% of his total target compensation tied to performance. Due to the circumstances present during the 2019 fiscal year, we did not establish any incentive compensation plans or award any discretionary bonuses to our executive officers other than discretionary bonuses awarded to our new executive officers.
Stretch performance goals. Our performance target goals under our Fiscal Year 2018 Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 STI Plan”) and Fiscal Year 2018 Long-Term Incentive Performance Share Plan (the “2018 LTI Stock Plan”) are designed to stretch individual and organizational performance in order to receive target payouts.
Capped payouts under incentive plans. Both our long-term and short-term bonus programs have maximum payout amounts in order to discourage excessive risk-taking.
Stock ownership guidelines. We have significant ownership guidelines. Our Chief Executive Officer is required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to a multiple of three times his base salary and our Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers are required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to one time his or her base salary.
No Tax Gross-Up Provisions. Our compensation program does not include any excise tax gross-up provisions with respect to payments contingent upon a change of control.
Limited perquisites for our executives. Perquisites are not a significant portion of our executive officers’ compensation, representing 1% of Mr. Herbert’s, 1% of Ms. Singh’s, 1% of Mr. Arora’s, and 2% of Mr. Lawlor’s total target compensation during the 2018 fiscal year.
Independent compensation consultant. During the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, the Committee retained an independent compensation consultant to review the executive compensation programs and practices and to provide input to the Committee.
No payment on change of control without a “double trigger.” Payments under our employment agreements require two events for vesting: both the change of control and either a “good reason” for termination of the executive’s employment by the executive or termination of the executive’s employment by the Company “without cause”.
No repricing of underwater options. Our stock incentive plans do not permit repricing or the exchange of underwater stock options without shareholder approval.
Clawback Policy. In July 2019, the Board adopted an Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) which had been developed and recommended by the Committee and which applied to any future incentive compensation awarded to our executive officers. The Clawback Policy provides that in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results, an executive officer would have to return to the Company any overpayment of incentive compensation based on such restated results; provided, however, that the executive officer must have engaged in intentional misconduct that contributed to the need for the restatement.
Compensation-Setting Process in Fiscal Year 2018
In August 2017 in connection with our annual review of our executive officers’ compensation, we established the 2018 STI Plan and the 2018 LTI Stock Plan for our executive officers, increased the base salaries of our executive officers, awarded discretionary
cash bonuses to two of our executive officers, and granted options to two of our executive officers. Due to the delay in finalizing our fiscal year 2018 financial statements, we were not able to finalize the awards under the 2018 STI Plan or the 2018 LTI Stock Plan until the date of filing of this Form 10-K which includes these financial statements. We intend to pay the cash bonuses earned under the 2018 STI Plan and to issue the shares earned under the 2018 LTI Stock Plan as soon as practicable after the filing of this Form 10-K.
Compensation-Setting Process in Fiscal Year 2019
The Committee’s 2019 fiscal year executive compensation actions and decisions reflected the ongoing Audit Committee investigation and subsequent restatement and audit process, the significant changes in our executive team during the fiscal year and the forecasted management financial results for the fiscal year. The Committee did not award any incentive compensation or award any discretionary bonuses to our executive officers during the fiscal year other than discretionary bonuses awarded to our new executive officers. Following the Audit Committee investigation, the Committee and our Board determined that ensuring our executive officers prioritize and maintain a sustained culture of compliance should be an additional principle that should guide our executive compensation actions and decisions.
The actions and decisions taken during fiscal year 2019 were not the result of a change in our compensation philosophy, but reflected the circumstances facing the Company during the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee intends to follow its historical practice of establishing short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans for our executive officers and emphasizing pay-for-performance during fiscal year 2020 and future fiscal years.
Compensation-Setting Process in Fiscal Year 2020
On October 7, 2019, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved incentive compensation plans for the 2020 fiscal year for our executive officers. Specific target metrics will be finalized after the Company's 2020 financial plan has been finalized.
2020 STI Plan
The Board approved the Fiscal Year 2020 Short-Term Incentive Plan which provides that each executive officer would earn a cash bonus in the event that the Company achieves during the 2020 fiscal year certain annual financial goals (70% weighting) and certain annual specific performance goals relating to the executive officer which are to be established by the Compensation Committee (30% weighting). The annual financial goals are total revenues (15% weighting), cash generated from operations (15% weighting), and non-GAAP net income (40% weighting). The specific performance goals to be established will prioritize the promotion of a sustained culture of compliance.
If none of the minimum threshold target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not earn a cash bonus. Assuming the minimum threshold target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the amount of the cash bonus to be earned would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the bonus would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric (which in any event cannot exceed 150% of the executive officer’s target bonus award).
2020 LTI Stock Plan
The Board approved the Fiscal Year 2020 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan which provides that each executive officer would be awarded shares of common stock of the Company in the event that certain metrics relating to the Company’s 2020 fiscal year would result in specified ranges of year-over-year percentage growth. The metrics are total number of connections as of June 30, 2020 as compared to total number of connections as of June 30, 2019 (40% weighting) and adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2020 fiscal year as compared to the adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2019 fiscal year (60% weighting).
If none of the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not be awarded any shares. Assuming the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the award would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric (which in any event cannot exceed 150% of the executive officer’s target bonus award). Any shares awarded under the plan would vest as follows: one-third at the time of issuance; one-third on June 30, 2021; and one-third on June 30, 2022.
Pay-for-Performance Review
Pay-for-performance has historically been an important component of our compensation philosophy and is evident in the structure of our compensation program. Our compensation approach is designed to motivate our executive officers to substantially contribute
to the Company’s long-term sustainable growth. Our pay-for-performance approach provides that a large portion of our executive officers’ total compensation should be in the form of short-term and long-term incentive awards with performance hurdles designed to stretch individual and organizational performance.
Reinforcing pay-for-performance is a significant underpinning of our compensation program which is designed to motivate executives to deliver strong business performance and create shareholder value. These compensation elements were dependent upon the Company’s achievement of pre-established financial and other business goals recommended by the Committee as well as individual goals established by the Committee or consisted of stock option awards, which are inherently performance-based as they only deliver value if the stock price increases. All stock options awarded by the Committee are exercisable at the closing share price on the date of the grant. Based on actual results, the annual variable compensation amount and the ultimate value of the equity compensation awards could have been significantly reduced if the Company or management did not perform.
Fiscal Year 2018 Actions and Decisions

Fiscal Year 2019 Actions and Decisions
As discussed above, during the 2019 fiscal year, we did not award any incentive compensation or award any discretionary bonuses to our executive officers other than discretionary bonuses awarded to our new executive officers. The Committee did not increase any of the base salaries of our executive officers during the fiscal year.
In October 2019, and upon our recommendation, the Board awarded to Mr. McConnell, our new Chief Operating Officer, a cash bonus of $20,700 which is equal to the pro-rated amount of his target short-term incentive compensation bonus (which was 45% of his annual base salary) and awarded shares to him with a value of $46,000 which is equal to the pro-rated amount of his target long-term incentive compensation bonus (which was 100% of his annual base salary). The pro-ration was based on the days employed by Mr. McConnell during the fiscal year. At the time he signed his employment agreement, we also granted to him non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 50,000 shares.
In October 2019, and upon our recommendation, the Board awarded to Mr. Pollock, our new Chief Compliance Officer, a cash bonus of $13,576 which is equal to the pro-rated amount of his target short-term incentive compensation bonus (which was 30% of his annual base salary) and granted to him incentive stock options to purchase up to 5,760 shares at $7.43, the price of our shares as of June 30, 2019. The pro-ration of his cash bonus was based on the days Mr. Pollock was employed by the Company during the fiscal year. At the time Mr. Pollock joined the Company, we granted to him incentive stock options to purchase up to 20,000 shares, and he received a $30,000 cash signing bonus which was paid on August 15, 2019.
The engagement agreement of Mr. Goold, our interim Chief Financial Officer, provides that he would receive a $100,000 cash bonus if he remains our interim Chief Financial Officer through December 31, 2019, and he would receive a $200,000 cash bonus upon the Company regaining compliance with its periodic reporting requirements and with the Nasdaq listing rules. We paid Mr. Goold the amount of $50,000 in May 2019 on account of the $100,000 cash retention bonus which he has agreed to repay if he is not acting as our interim Chief Financial Officer on December 31, 2019.
Peer Group Analysis
In August 2016, the Company obtained an updated analysis from our independent compensation consultant, which contained a new peer group, and updated the compensation analysis that had previously been performed. Our independent compensation consultant assembled a peer group of 15 companies that it deemed comparable to the Company on the basis of size, market capitalization, industry, or financial performance. The peer group consisted of:
|
| | |
☐ Agilysys, Inc.• | ☐ Exav CorporationPay-for-performance. We seek to tie a significant amount of executive compensation to the achievement of performance goals and as equity-based awards to link our executives’ long-term incentives with our shareholders’ interests. |
| ☐ PDF Solutions, Inc. |
☐ Amber Road, Inc.• | ☐ Infrustrure, Inc.Stock ownership guidelines. We have significant ownership guidelines. Our Chief Executive Officer is required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to a multiple of three times his base salary, our Chief Operating Officer is required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to two times his base salary, and our Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers are required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to his or her base salary (in each case subject to applicable grace periods for new executive officers). |
| ☐ Radysis Corporation |
☐ Callidus Software, Inc.• | ☐ Limelight Networks, Inc.No Excise Tax Gross-Up Provisions. Our NEOs are not provided with any excise tax gross-up provisions with respect to payments contingent upon a change of control. |
| ☐ SciQuest, Inc. |
☐ CVI Global, Inc.• | ☐ NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc.Limited perquisites for our executives. Perquisites are not a significant portion of our executive officers’ compensation, and generally consist of health, welfare, and retirement benefits broadly available to our employees. |
| ☐ Upland Software, Inc. |
☐ Exa Corporation• | ☐ Numerex Corp. | ☐ Zix CorporationNo repricing of underwater options. Our equity incentive plans do not permit repricing or the exchange of underwater stock options without shareholder approval. |
| |
| • | Clawback Policy. In July 2019, the Board adopted an Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) which applies to any incentive compensation paid, settled, or awarded to an executive officer after July 1, 2019. The Clawback Policy provides that in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results, the Company can seek return of any overpayment of incentive compensation paid to an executive officer based on such restated results; provided, however, that the executive officer must have engaged in intentional misconduct that contributed to the need for the restatement. |
When making compensation decisions for fiscal year 2018, the Committee reviewed the aggregate target compensation paid to an executive officer relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives, to the extent available, at our peer companies. For fiscal year 2018, the Committee recommended a compensation program for our executive officers consisting of target level compensation approximately equal to the 50th percentile for similarly situated officers at the peer group companies compiled by our independent compensation consultant.
The Committee did not utilize a peer group in connection with its compensation decisions during fiscal year 2019. In January 2019, and in connection with the retention of a new Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, the Committee obtained a compensation analysis from its independent compensation consultant for these newly created positions. The Committee utilized this analysis in connection with its compensation program recommendations for these new executive officers and received input from the consultant.

Base Salary
Base salary is the fixed component of our named executive officers’NEOs’ annual cash compensation and is set with the goal of attracting and retaining talented executives and adequately compensating and rewarding them for services rendered during the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee reviews our executive officers’NEOs’ base salaries on an annual basis.
The base salary of each of our executive officers reflects the Base salaries are intended to reflect an individual’s level of responsibility and performance. In recommending base salaries of our executive officers to the Board of Directors,performance; however, the Compensation Committee also considers changes in duties and responsibilities, our business and financial results, and its knowledge of market practices in setting and adjusting base salaries.
Mr. Feeney was hired as our Chief Executive Officer at an initial base salary of $450,000. Mr. Goold’s base salary was established at $250,000 upon his appointment as Chief Accounting Officer on February 28, 2019; during Mr. Goold’s tenure as our interim Chief Financial Officer, he was an independent contractor (and not an employee) of the Company and was compensated as described below under “-Goold Offer Letter and Interim CFO Agreement.” Mr. Agrawal’s base salary in fiscal 2020 was $340,000, effective as of August 1, 2019 (prior to which Mr. Agrawal’s base salary was $280,000). Mr. Vogt’s base salary upon his hiring in October 2019 was set at $280,000 (increasing to $340,000 in connection with his promotion to Chief Operating Officer) and Mr. Pollock’s base salary during fiscal 2020 was set at $235,000. However, in light of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic, Messrs. Feeney’s, Goold’s, Agrawal’s, Vogt’s, and Pollock’s base salaries paid to executive officers of our peer group.
Effective August 16, 2017, andwere reduced by 20% as part of an across-the-board reduction in salaries for members of our annual compensation review, we increased Mr.senior leadership team. These reductions are expected to remain in effect through December 31, 2020.

Annual Bonus
Performance-based
As we continue to finalize the build-out of our management team and our compensation program evolves, our current Compensation Committee intends that performance-based annual cash bonuses arewill be based on each named executive officer’sNEO’s achievement of pre-established performance goals. Annualgoals for each fiscal year. These annual bonuses arewould be intended to provide officersNEOs with an opportunity to receive additional cash compensation based on their individual performance and Company results, including the achievement of pre-determinedpre-
determined Company and/or individual performance goals. Performance-basedAlthough the Compensation Committee intends that the fiscal 2021 bonus program will incorporate pre-established performance metrics and goals, the Compensation Committee also believes that discretionary bonus elements may continue to be necessary in fiscal 2021 as our management transitions are finalized.
Annual bonuses are includedin respect of fiscal 2020 were awarded on a discretionary basis to the following NEOs, in the compensation package because they incentivizeamounts summarized in the table below, based on each individual’s contributions (i) to our named executive officers,ethics and compliance culture, (ii) in any particular year, to pursue particular objectives that are consistentguiding the Company through our management changes and go-forward business and strategic planning, and (iii) in supporting key initiatives:
|

| Glen Goold | $20,000 |
| Anant Agrawal | $40,000 |
| Jeff Vogt | $85,000 |

Certain NEOs also received cash bonuses throughout fiscal 2020 in connection with individual retention arrangements, as described in further detail below under “-Executive Employment Agreements.” Mr. Feeney is only eligible for a cash bonus opportunity commencing with the overall goals and strategic direction that the Board has set for the Company for thatfiscal 2021 year.
The
Equity Awards
As described above, our current Compensation Committee believes that equity awards are an essential component of an effective compensation program, because they provide a direct link between our shareholders’ interests and our employees, executive officers, directors, and advisors. Our current Compensation Committee is therefore focused on emphasizing the important of equity compensation awards in setting executive compensation, as reflected in the awards made to key fiscal 2020 hires. In fiscal 2020, equity awards to our NEOs were primarily made as initial awards in connection with hires and promotions, as opposed to awards granted under a general annual program. The awards granted consisted of stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and contained various time-based and performance-based bonus reinforces the pay-for-performance naturevesting restrictions. Each NEO’s fiscal 2020 equity awards are described in further detail below:

In connection with our hiring of Mr. Feeney as our compensation program.
Fiscal Year 2018 Short-Term Incentive Plan
At the recommendationChief Executive Officer, Mr. Feeney was awarded an initial inducement grant of 1,000,000 stock options on May 8, 2020, with an exercise price of $6.30 per share. Fifty percent of the Compensation Committee,options are eligible to vest based on Mr. Feeney’s continued service in August 2017four equal installments on each anniversary of the Boardgrant date, 12.5% of Directors adopted the 2018 STI Plan covering our executive officers.

The annual financial goals are total revenues (15% weighting), cash generated from operations (15% weighting), and non-GAAP net income (50% weighting). Assuming the minimum threshold target goal would be exceeded for a particular metric, the amount of the cash bonus to be earned would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the bonus would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric.
The financial target goals under the 2018 STI Plan were based upon the 2018 fiscal year financial plan established by management which reflected the anticipated results from the acquisition of Cantaloupe, and the Compensation Committee believed that the attainment of these target goals would represent a significant achievement for management, and would stretch the Company’s and management’s performance during the fiscal year.
Under the 2018 STI Plan, the primary individual performance goals established by the Compensation Committee for Mr. Herbert were the following: completing the Cantaloupe acquisition within the financial parameters established by the Board of Directors; providing significant management attention to the integration of Cantaloupe following the acquisition to form a cohesive market offering to take advantage of the contemplated market synergies; and clearly communicating the Company’s strategy, goals and objectives to the investment community.
Under the 2018 STI Plan, the Compensation Committee sets the cash bonus opportunity for each executive officer as a percentage of his or her respective annual base salary as set forth in the following table:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| Executive Officer | | Threshold Performance | | Target Performance | | Distinguished Performance |
| | | | | | | |
| Stephen P. Herbert | | — | | 50 | % | | 75 | % |
| Priyanka Singh | | — | | 35 | % | | 53 | % |
| Michael Lawlor | | — | | 35 | % | | 53 | % |
| Mandeep Arora | | — | | 40 | % | | 60 | % |
Subsequent to the establishment of the 2018 STI Plan, and in February 2018, the Committee recommended and the Board approved the increase of the target performance bonus from 30% to 40% of annual base salary for each of Ms. Singh and Mr. Lawlor effective as of January 1, 2018, resulting in a target performance bonus for the fiscal year ending on each such date to be established by the Board. If at least 80% of the performance goals for each of them of 35% of annual base salary which is reflected inan applicable fiscal year are achieved, the above table.
Below were the threshold, target and distinguished cash bonus award target opportunities under the 2018 STI Plan for our executive officers:

Mr. Agrawal earned a cash bonus under the 2018 STI Plan of $33,735, representing 11% of his prorated base salary.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
As described above, the Compensation Committee believes that a substantial portion of each executive officer’s compensation should be in the form of long-term incentive compensation in order to further align the interests of our executive officers and shareholders.
Fiscal Year 2018 Long-Term Incentive Performance Share Plan
At the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, in August 2017 the Board of Directors adopted the 2018 LTI Stock Plan covering our executive officers. Under the 2018 LTI Stock Plan, each executive officer would be awarded3,595 shares of Common Stock in the event that certain metrics relating torestricted stock under the Company’s 2018 fiscal year would result in specified rangeslong-term incentive program, 2,396 of year-over-year percentage growth.

The shares awarded under the 2018 LTI Stock Plan would vest as follows: one-third on the date of issuance; one-third on June 30, 2019; and one-third on June 30, 2020.
The target goals under the 2018 LTI Stock Planwhich were basedvested immediately upon the 2018 fiscal year financial plan established by management which reflected the anticipated results from the acquisition of Cantaloupe. The Compensation Committee believed that the attainment of the target goals under the 2018 LTI Stock Plan would represent a significant achievement for management, and would stretch the Company’s and management’s performance during the fiscal year.
The Compensation Committee established target long-term award levels for each executive officer under the 2018 LTI Stock Plan as a percentage of his or her respective annual base salary, as indicated in the table set forth below.
|

Assuming the minimum threshold target goal was achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric was required to be determined on a pro-rata basis, provided that the award could not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric.

Based on the actual performance of the Company during the 2018 fiscal year, connections for the fiscal year exceeded the minimum threshold target but were less than the target goal under the plan, and Adjusted EBITDA was less than the minimum threshold target.

Perquisites and Other CompensationPersonal Benefits
Perquisites do not make up a significant portion of NEO compensation. Our named executive officers wereNEOs are generally entitled to participate in the health care coverage, group insurance, and other employee benefits provided(e.g., 401(k) plan) broadly available to all of our other employees.
In connection with Mr. Agrawal’s relocation from California to the Philadelphia metropolitan area, in February 2018, the Company and Mr. Agrawal entered into an amendment to his employment agreement which provided for reimbursement of moving expenses, and a housing allowance of $6,000 per month, and a car allowance of $500 per month for 20 months,months.

However, in July 2019, Mr. Agrawal relocated back to San Francisco, California, and in accordance with a further amendment to his employment agreement, the housing allowance and car allowance previouslywere terminated.
During his tenure as interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Layden was provided an additional housing, travel, and living allowance of $15,000 per month (plus payment for applicable taxes associated with this allowance), and Mr. Goold was provided use of Company-leased housing from July 28, 2019 until July 27, 2020.
Executive Employment Agreements
Our NEOs who remain employed with us are party to him were terminatedemployment agreements or offer letters with us. These arrangements provide our NEOs with severance protection in the case of a termination without “cause” or, in certain cases, a resignation for “good reason,” which in certain cases is enhanced if such termination occurs in connection with a “change of control.” The Compensation Committee believes that a market level of severance protection allows our NEOs to focus on performing their day-to-day tasks and enhancing value for our shareholders without fearing a loss of financial security as a result of July 1, 2019.
Post-Termination Compensation
As set forth in his employment agreement, upon thea termination (or constructive termination). Certain of Mr. Herbert’s employment under certain circumstances, including termination byour NEOs that departed from the Company without cause or by a noticeduring fiscal 2020 entered into separation agreements with us providing them with severance payments and benefits. These employment arrangements and separation agreements are described in further detail below; for more information, please also see the “Summary Compensation Table” below and the below discussion of non-renewal of the employment agreement, or under certain circumstances following a change of control of the Company, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Herbert a lump sum amount equal to two times his annual base salary, and all restricted stock awards or stock options would become vested as of the date of termination.
We believe that these provisions are an important component of Mr. Herbert’s employment arrangement, and will help to secure his continued employment and dedication, notwithstanding any concern that he might have at such time regarding his own continued employment, prior to or following a change of control.
The Committee notes that there would be no payments to our executive officers upon a change of control without a “double trigger.” Payments under our employment agreements require two events for vesting: both the change of control and a “good reason” for termination of employment.
As set forth in his employment agreement, upon the termination of Mr. Agrawal’s employment under certain circumstances, including termination by the Company without cause, or termination by Mr. Agrawal for good reason, the Company has agreed to continue to pay to Mr. Agrawal his base salary and to provide coverage for Mr. Agrawal and his family under all applicable Company group health benefit plans for a period of one year following the date of termination. Any such payment would be subject to Mr. Agrawal executing a release of any and all claims, suits or causes of action against the Company and its affiliates.

Stock Ownership PolicyGuidelines
We believe
As described above, the Compensation Committee believes that providingequity ownership in the Company by our executive officers who have responsibility for theis essential to increasing shareholder alignment. The Company’s management and growth with an opportunity to increase their ownership of Company shares aligns the interests of the executive officers with those of the shareholders. Our Stock Ownership Guidelines providesupport this belief by providing that the Chief Executive Officer should own sharesis required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to a multiple of at least three times his annualbase salary, our Chief Operating Officer is required to hold Common Stock with a value equal to two times his base salary, and theour Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers should own sharesare required to hold Common Stock with a value of at least one timesequal to his or her annual base salary. Each executive officer has five years to obtain such ownership fromsatisfy the commencement of servingapplicable guideline following his or her appointment as an executive officer. As of the date hereof, each executive officer isof our NEOs who remain employed with us are in compliance with the policy.policy or are in the grace period for compliance.
Our Stock Ownership Guidelines provide that each non-employee director should own shares of Common Stock with a value of at least five times his or her annual cash retainer. For this purpose, the annual retainer shall include the annual retainer for service on the Board as well as the annual retainer for serving on one (but not more than one) Committee of the Board. Each director has five years to obtain such ownership from commencement of service as a director. As of the date hereof, each of the directors is in compliance with the policy.
For purposes of these guidelines, “shares” include shares owned by the executive officer or director or by such person’s immediate family members residing in the same household, and include non-vestedunvested restricted stock awards held by the executive officer or non-employee director.(but not unexercised stock options).
Clawback Policy
In
As described above, in July 2019, we adopted an Incentive Compensationour Clawback Policy, (the “Clawback Policy”) which provides that in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results (other than due to a change in applicable accounting methods, rules, or interpretations), the result of which is that any incentive compensation paid, settled, or awarded to an executive officer after July 1, 2019 would have been lower or none at all had it been calculated based on such restated results, the Compensation Committee shall review such incentive compensation.
If the Committee determines that (1) the amountCompany can seek return of any overpayment of incentive compensation actually paid settled, or awarded to an executive officer (the "Awarded Compensation") would have been a lower amount had it been calculated based upon theon such restated financial results (the "Actual Compensation"), and (2)results; provided, however, that the executive officer must have engaged in intentional misconduct that contributed to the need for the restatement, then the Committee shall, except as provided below, recommend to the Board of Directors that the executive officer be required to return, repay or forfeit the difference between the Awarded Compensation and the Actual Compensation.restatement.
The Committee may determine not to recommend the return, repayment or forfeiture to the extent it determines (i) that to do so would be unreasonable or (ii) that it would not be in the best interests of the Company to do so.
If the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Committee determines to seek a claw-back pursuant to the Clawback Policy, the Company shall make a written demand for repayment from the executive officer and, if the executive officer does not within a reasonable period tender repayment in response to the demand, the Company may seek a court order against the executive officer for such repayment.
The Clawback Policy is effective as of July 1, 2019, and applies to any incentive compensation to be paid, settled, or awarded to an executive officer thereafter under any applicable Company compensation policy, plan or program, and shall be incorporated into any such applicable compensation policy, plan and program currently adopted or which may be adopted by the Company as of or after July 1, 2019.
Recovery of Incentive Compensation Bonuses in Connection with the Restatement
In light of our restatement of our fiscal year 2017 financial statements and pursuant to the remedial measures adopted by the Board as a result of the internal investigation, in October 2019, the Compensation Committee re-evaluated the awards that were previously paid or issued to our executive officers under our short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans that were established for that fiscal year. Based on the restated financial results for the fiscal year, a reduced award under these plans would have been awarded to these executive officers. The Company’s Clawback Policy would not apply to these awards as the policy only applies to incentive compensation paid or issued to our executive officers prospectively since its adoption in July 2019. Pursuant to the March 2019 Separation Agreement, the Company will reduce the cash bonus that was awarded to Mr. Lawlor under the Fiscal Year 2018 STI Plan by $38,086, representing the overpayment he received under the fiscal year 2017 incentive compensation plans. Mr. Herbert has agreed to repay to the Company the amount of $120,014, representing the overpayment he received under the fiscal year 2017 incentive compensation plans.
Anti-Hedging Policy
In July 2019, the Board adopted an Anti-Hedging Policy that was developed and recommended by the Committee.Policy. The policy prohibits our employees, officers, and directors from engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Company’s securities, including through the establishment of a short position in the Company’s securities, that are designed to or that may reasonably be expected to have the effect of hedging or offsetting a decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities.
Effect of 2018 Say-On-Pay Vote
At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 26, 2018, over 86% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers were in favor of the Company’s executive compensation disclosed in the proxy statement (relating to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2017).
Because of the Audit Committee’s investigation and subsequent restatement and audit process, we have not held an annual meeting of shareholders since April 26, 2018, and have not conducted a say-on-pay vote relating to our fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2019 compensation of our named executive officers. In evaluating executive compensation for future years, the Committee intends to consider the results of upcoming say-on-pay votes and other feedback from our shareholders.
Impact of Taxation and Accounting Considerations on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors taketakes into account tax and accounting consequences of theour executive compensation program and weighweighs these factors when setting total compensation and determining the individual elements of any named executive officer’sNEO’s compensation package.
The stock
In particular, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue of 1986, as amended, generally precludes a publicly held corporation from a federal income tax deduction for a taxable year of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to its “covered employees,” which generally include its chief executive officer, chief financial officer, its next three most highly compensated executive officers, and option awardsany individual who is or was a “covered employee” for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016. However, the deductibility of compensation is only one of a myriad of factors that the Compensation Committee takes into account when setting executive compensation, and we and our Compensation Committee firmly believe that it is important for the Company to retain flexibility to pay compensation to our namedemployees (including our NEOs) that appropriately achieves our goals of incentivizing retention, paying for performance, and aligning compensation with shareholder interests, even if the deductibility of that compensation is limited (whether under Section 162(m) or otherwise).
Looking Ahead: Additional Management Changes in Fiscal 2021
We have continued to add to the depth of our executive officersleadership team in fiscal 2021, including with the appointment of Eugene C. Cavanaugh as our interim Chief Financial Officer, effective as of July 1, 2020. Mr. Cavanaugh’s compensation arrangement with the Company includes (i) $15,000 per month in cash, and (ii) 3,000 shares of vested Common Stock per month of service, in each case prorated for any partial month. Mr. Cavanaugh’s engagement with the Company was scheduled to end upon the appointment of our permanent Chief Financial Officer on August 10, 2020 (as described below), but Mr. Cavanaugh has agreed to continue to provide consulting services to the Company’s finance and accounting functions and its executive management under ourthe same compensation terms, until the arrangement is terminated by either Mr. Cavanaugh or the Company upon 14 days’ prior written notice.
On August 10, 2020, the Company appointed R. Wayne Jackson as the Company’s permanent Chief Financial Officer. Under his employment agreement with the Company, Mr. Jackson’s base salary is $280,000 per year, increasing to $350,000 per year on January 1, 2021, and his annual target bonus opportunity is equal to 50% of base salary, with a maximum bonus opportunity of 150% of the target bonus (with a minimum fiscal 2021 bonus of $175,000). In addition, Mr. Jackson was awarded an initial equity incentive plans providegrant of 400,000 stock options, with an exercise price of $7.10 per share, which are eligible to vest as follows: (i) 50% of the options are eligible to vest in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, and (ii) the remaining 50% of the options are eligible to vest in three equal installments on each of June 30, 2021, June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2023, subject to the achievement of performance goals for the fiscal year ending on each such date to be established by the Compensation Committee following the commencement of the applicable fiscal year, and in each case subject to Mr. Jackson’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. If at least 80% of the performance goals for an applicable fiscal year are achieved, the Compensation Committee may determine that the officerportion of the option eligible to vest in respect of such fiscal year will vest on a prorated basis. In addition, any of the stock options then-outstanding and unvested will immediately vest upon a “change of control,” subject to Mr. Jackson’s continued employment as of immediately prior to the “change of control.”
Under Mr. Jackson’s employment agreement, if Mr. Jackson is responsibleterminated without “cause” or resigns for any withholding or payroll tax obligations incurred by the Company in connection“good reason”, then subject to Mr. Jackson’s execution of a release of claims and continued compliance with the award,covenants in his employment agreement, Mr. Jackson will be provided a severance package consisting of (i) continued base salary at the monthly rate then in effect during the “Severance Period” (as defined below), (ii) senior executive-level outplacement counseling and thatsupport services during the officer may satisfy anySeverance Period, and (iii) a COBRA subsidy during the Severance Period.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
REVIEW OR APPROVAL OF TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
We have adopted a formal written policy, which is set forth in our Audit Committee Charter, that our executiveAudit Committee review and approve all related-party transactions, defined by, or those transactions required to be disclosed under, Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Executive officers, directors, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, and any member of the immediate family of, and any entity affiliated with, any of the foregoing persons, are not permitted to enter into a related person transaction with us without the prior consent of our Audit Committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, principal shareholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 is considered a “related party transaction” and must first be presented to our Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit Committee is to consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the Audit Committee, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.
In addition, under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, our executive officers and directors have a responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to interfere with their exercise of independent judgment or materially impair the performance of their responsibilities to our Board of Directors, which shall be responsible for reviewing such transaction or relationship and determining whether any action needs to be taken.
Unregistered Issuance to Hudson Executive as Reimbursement
Hudson Executive, a greater than 10% shareholder of the Company, requested that the Company reimburse the expenses it incurred in connection with its proxy solicitation and informed the Company that it was prepared to accept non-cash consideration for such reimbursement. On June 29, 2020, following consultation with independent legal and financial advisors, the disinterested and independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved the reimbursement of $4,500,000 of the third party costs and expenses incurred by Hudson Executive in connection with its proxy solicitation (the “Reimbursement”), which amount represented a substantial majority but less than the full amount of the third party costs and expenses incurred by Hudson Executive. Douglas G. Bergeron and Douglas L. Braunstein, Managing Partners of Hudson Executive, recused themselves from the Board’s deliberations and voting on the Reimbursement. The Board determined to pay the Reimbursement in the form of shares of common stock of the Company, with the value of the common stock calculated based on the average of the high and low trading price on the date of Board approval. On June 30, 2020, the Company issued 635,593 shares of common stock to funds managed by Hudson Executive in satisfaction of the Reimbursement, which shares represent approximately 0.98% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
In approving the Reimbursement, the Board considered a number of factors, including but not limited to the following: the Company and all of its shareholders have shared in the benefits created by Hudson Executive’s actions to reconstitute the Board and improve the Company’s governance; shareholders representing a majority of the voting power of the Company had voted in favor of Hudson Executive’s nominees to the Board prior to the end of its proxy solicitation; it is a common practice to reimburse a shareholder’s expenses in connection with the settlement of a proxy contest; the Company previously reimbursed the expenses of a shareholder in the settlement of a proxy contest; and by issuing shares of common stock, the Company will conserve its cash position and Hudson Executive will bear the risk of the common stock maintaining its value until the time such shares are sold by Hudson Executive.
