USA Technologies eSuds(TM) Extends Its Reach Abroad



    USA Technologies (USAT: NASDAQ) reported that JLA, the leading
    supplier of commercial laundry equipment in the United Kingdom, has
    begun distributing the eSuds solution to universities and colleges
    through its Circuit subsidiary. Circuit´s first installation of eSuds
    is operating at the University of York in Heslington, York, UK.

    "Circuit constantly strives to provide customers with the latest
    technology to improve customer satisfaction, and the eSuds solution
    with its online capability brings a whole new level of service to add
    considerable ease and convenience to doing laundry," said Richard Lee,
    Managing Director, Circuit. "Our goal is to ensure we provide our
    customers with the best possible solutions to make our laundry
    facilities more efficient, cost effective and safer, and eSuds offers
    all that while responding to the emerging demand for networked laundry
    services."

    JLA is Europe´s biggest independent distributor of commercial
    laundry equipment and supplies to a wide range of markets including
    hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, armed forces bases and prisons. In
    the education sector the company´s Circuit division operates over
    1,200 laundries, working in partnership with more than 80% of the
    United Kingdom´s colleges and universities.

    The eSuds online laundry system enables users to go online to
    check the availability of washers and dryers in college and university
    laundries, pay for their wash and dry cycles with their student ID,
    debit or credit cards and automatically receive an email or page when
    their wash or dry cycles are complete.

    "We are pleased to be the first to bring eSuds to our student
    body. We understand that students enjoy using the technology, and it´s
    appropriate for the networked world students live in," said Jon
    Greenwood, Director of Commercial Services at the University of York.

    Erik O´Connor, a student at the University of York and Chair of
    the junior common room, commented, "It (eSuds) is very helpful for
    students, because we can check machine availability whilst we do our
    work. Some people have quite a long way to walk to the laundrette, but
    now they can check things from their own room."

    "Distributing our eSuds product line through one of the major
    laundry service companies in the United Kingdom is a landmark
    development for USA Technologies," said Stephen P. Herbert, President
    and COO. "The JLA relationship is an important part of our efforts
    underway to expand and grow our business internationally, across all
    our product lines."

    More than 2,000 washers and dryers in the United States were
    connected to the eSuds system over the summer, bringing the total
    number of installs to nearly 6,000 in 40 colleges and universities
    nationwide. This announcement also follows the Company´s announcement
    of eSuds Credit(TM) which opens up the multi-family housing laundry
    market with 7.5 million washer and dryers.

    USA Technologies product line also includes the EnergyMiser(R)
    energy management technology, the ePort(R) wireless cashless
    transaction solutions for vending machines and point-of-sale
    terminals, and Business Express(R) unattended business center
    services.
