| 1. | We note your disclosure regarding developments at USA Technologies, Inc. (USAT) during the tenure of Messrs. Herbert and Lurio, including, among others, your disclosure that USAT attained its largest market cap of $1 billion as of August 7, 2018. Please balance such disclosure with the experience of USAT after August of 2018. For example, we note that after such time, financial reporting and financial controls issues were announced, the company did not timely file periodic reports, financial statements were restated, and USAT's securities were delisted from NASDAQ. In addition, disclose the business experience of Mr. Herbert since his departure from USAT. |
In response to the Staff’s comment, we have expanded disclosure of the developments of USAT after August of 2018 and added disclosure regarding the business experience of Mr. Herbert since his departure from USAT in the Registration Statement.
We thank the Staff in advance for its consideration of the foregoing. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our legal counsel, Wei Wang Esq., of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, at (212) 370-1300.
