ITEM
      8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On
  July 25, 2006, USA Technologies, Inc. ("USA") filed a complaint
  against Transaction Network Services, Inc. ("TNS") in the United
  States District Court for the District of Delaware known as
USA
  Technologies, Inc. v. Transaction Network Services, Inc.
,
  C.A. No. 06-453. The Complaint alleges that TNS has infringed United States
  Patent No. 6,505,095 owned by USA in connection with TNS's cashless payment
  system for use with vending machines. The complaint requests that TNS be enjoined
  from further acts of infringement, an award of unspecified money damages against
  TNS, treble damages be assessed against TNS, and other relief.
During
      February 2004, USA had filed a prior complaint with the Court (C.A. No.
      04-0115(GMS)) alleging infringement by U.S. Wireless Data, Inc. of the patent.
      U.S. Wireless filed for bankruptcy after the filing of the complaint and the
      case was stayed. The U.S. Wireless products referred to in the complaint were
      purchased by TNS from U.S. Wireless as part of the bankruptcy proceedings.
