NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against USA Technologies, Inc. (“USA Technologies” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:USAT) and certain of its officers.   The class action, filed in United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and docketed under 15-cv-5427, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased USA Technologies securities between September 29, 2014 and September 29, 2015 inclusive (the “Class Period”).  This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  

If you are a shareholder who purchased USA Technologies securities during the Class Period, you have until December 1, 2015 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.  A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com.

USA Technologies provides wireless networking, cashless transactions, asset monitoring, and other value-added services principally to the small ticket unattended retail markets in the United States and internationally.  The Company's products include ePort, a device that is used in self-service and/or unattended markets such as vending machines, amusement parks, arcades, car washes, and kiosks to facilitate cashless payments.  USA Technologies also manufactures and sells energy management products that reduce the electrical power consumption of equipment such as refrigerated vending machines and glass front coolers.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) there were significant deficiencies in both the design and operating effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting; (ii) the deficiencies, when aggregated, represented a material weakness in internal control; (iii) as a result of these deficiencies, the Company’s procedures failed to identify a large number of uncollectible small balance accounts; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, USA Technologies’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On September 29, 2015, post-market, USA Technologies filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC (the “Late Filing Notice”).  In the Late Filing Notice, the Company announced that it was unable to file its annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 on Form 10-K with the SEC (the “2015 10-K”).

As a result of this news, shares of USA Technologies fell $0.28, or 10.1%, to close at $2.49 on September 30, 2015.
