PART I
Item 1 Business
Veramark Technologies, Inc. (the Company or Veramark), was originally incorporated under the
name MOSCOM Corporation in New York in January 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1984. The
Companys name was changed to Veramark Technologies, Inc. on June 15, 1998.
For over 20 years, Veramarks telemanagement solutions have set the industry standard for
technological excellence, application experience, and process expertise. Veramarks completely
web-based software architecture integrates communications management software with operation
support systems (OSS) software. These solutions include eCAS and VeraSMART Call Accounting, Work
Flow Management, Help Desk/Trouble Ticket, Asset Management, Directory/Information Management,
Service Inventory Build and Line Verification, Service Analysis and Recommendations, Wireless
Optimization and Ongoing Management, Contract Analysis/Negotiations, and Billing Dispute
Resolution.
Additionally, Veramarks Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) solution will not only ensure
that you know exactly what telecommunication services you have, where those services are located
and what they cost, but will also ensure that you are being invoiced correctly and are only paying
for services you need. This will give you the base line of information you need to manage your
telecom environment in the most efficient and cost effective manner going forward.
This broad portfolio of products and services allows enterprises to optimize telecom performance,
increase productivity, improve enterprise security, and measurably reduce communications expenses.
By utilizing industry-standard databases, secure web-browser based user interfaces, and dynamic
reporting tools, Veramarks products and services make managing complex communications networks
easy and efficient. Veramarks web-based architecture eliminates the need for client software and
makes the solutions accessible from every networked PC in the enterprise. In addition to Veramarks
premise-based solutions, Veramark offers its customers a robust application service provider (ASP)
and Managed Services alternative that is designed to meet all or a portion of the customers
defined needs.

The company sells and markets its solutions directly and through leveraged distribution
channels to customers ranging from the Fortune 500 to small businesses as well as the public
sector, including government agencies and the military. Veramarks leadership position is
demonstrated by its relationships with telecoms leaders Avaya®, Nortel Networks®, Cisco
Systems®, NEC Unified, AT&T Inc., Sprint® and others.
Products and Services
VeraSMART®
Our enterprise-level software solution, VeraSMART®, is a highly modular solution that takes
advantage of its totally web-based design to quickly and effectively deliver business-critical
information to the people who need it. The modularity of the system allows clients to purchase the
modules they need today, while providing an option to expand the system through future purchases as
needed.
Released in the second quarter of 2003, VeraSMART 1.0 delivered Directory and Call Accounting.
This version was the Companys initial offering for the large enterprise market and effectively
harnessed the speed and flexibility of Veramarks totally web-based endeavor architecture.
VeraSMART 1.0 provided enterprise clients with unprecedented ability to see and control their
telecommunications usage expenses.
The VeraSMART 2.0 software, released in the second quarter of 2004, brought even more ease and
power to enterprise cost management. VeraSMART 2.0 featured enhancements to Directory and Call
Accounting, as well as introducing three new modules: Allocation, Invoice Management and Online
Directory. Each new module was designed to expand the VeraSMART platform beyond management of
telecom use, to include the management of telecom assets, infrastructure, fixed costs, and
ultimately wireless device costs; presenting a more robust management tool to enterprise customers.
The Online Directory solution, a natural extension of the Directory module, allows large
enterprise clients to put frequently needed contact information (extension number, cell phone or
pager numbers, email and traditional mailing addresses, and more) on the desktop of any network
connected user, effectively expanding the applications appeal and more tightly linking it to the
day-to-day operations of the enterprise. VeraSMART 2.0 also introduced EZ-Share, Veramarks
exclusive data configuration and export solution, which facilitates much tighter integration of
VeraSMART into enterprise back-office systems, like general ledgers and enterprise resource
management systems.
VeraSMART 3.0 software, released in the first quarter of 2005, provided numerous enhancements
to the existing suite of modules and introduced Electronic Billing Format (EBF) which allows
customers to electronically import third-party product and service invoices, thereby streamlining
the spend management process.
VeraSMART 4.0, released in the third quarter of 2005, added flexible workflow and helpdesk
management functionality with the introduction of Work Order and Online Ticket Manager. Work Order
allows customers to take control of their work flow management environments by allowing
administrators to configure rules which define and enforce corporate policies. Online Ticket
Manager reduces administrative overhead by providing an online ticket request mechanism to any
network connected user, complete with an up-to-date online ticket status.
4
VeraSMART 5.0, generally available since October 2006, is the most recent release of
Veramarks enterprise platform. VeraSMART 5.0 introduced the ability to manage, track and optimize
both tangible and non-tangible assets through out their life cycle.
Todays VeraSMART consists of these modules:
|
|
|
Directory, the central repository for personnel and organization data. It provides a
complete personnel profile that includes location and affiliation to cost centers within
the corporate structure. It also provides the tools for system-wide configuration,
security, reports, and database/system-wide diagnostic utilities. |
|
|
|
|
Online Directory, which provides quick, customizable desktop access to key contacts and
personnel information contained in the Directory module. Corporate users can maintain their
own phone listings, which may consist of any company entries plus personal numbers they
might wish to add. |
|
|
|
|
Call Accounting provides the ability to control usage-based charges. Call Accounting
connects to business telephone systems (PBXs, IP-PBXs, Key Systems, etc.) to collect,
store, and rate information on every telephone call made or received. |
|
|
|
|
Allocation, which allows the user to accurately distribute fixed charges on a one-time,
recurring and pro-rated basis for equipment, services, and more to any individual or group.
Because it has the ability to distribute any charges, it can provide a complete picture of
all telecom costs. |
|
|
|
|
Invoice Management, which allows the allocation of outside vendor charges by individual,
logical functional group or customized distribution list. The Invoice Management module
gives you the power to track and analyze all your communications costs, helping you prevent
overpayments, while identifying areas for potential savings. Electronic Billing Format
(EBF) gives you the ability to import third-party vendor invoices, saving you valuable time
and assuring an unprecedented degree of accuracy. |
|
|
|
|
Work Order provides the user with the ability to gain control of their workflow
management environment. Work Order can effectively track issues, work requests, directory
updates and support calls and manage OSS process (such as helpdesk, bug tracking, and
facilities management) according to highly configurable, easy to use process rules. |
|
|
|
|
Wireless Management provides the ability to generate reports that show actual costs
for each wireless device by airtime, roaming, toll charges, surcharges, taxes, and more. It
then identifies your carriers optimum plan for each wireless device, even those in
pooled-minute or shared plans. |
|
|
|
|
Asset Management, provides the ability to manage, track and optimize both tangible and
non-tangible assets including IP and mobile devices, phones, furniture, computers, SLAs
and maintenance agreements through out their life cycle. |
Going forward, Veramark plans to continue increasing VeraSMARTs value add by adding
features and functionality such as invoice payment tracking, contract compliance, and invoice alert
notification. Veramark plans on releasing the next version of VeraSMART in 2007. The new
5
version will enhance our capabilities in the Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM)
area.
eCAS®
Veramarks totally web-based eCAS Call Accounting software system connects to business
telephone systems (PBXs, IP-PBXs, Key Systems, etc.) to collect, store, and rate information on
every telephone call made or received.
eCAS clients can significantly reduce, through heightened awareness and proactive management,
their telecommunications costs. As a result, the cost of an eCAS system can generally be recovered
through direct expense reduction in less than one year. In addition, eCAS addresses the problem of
theft of telephone service through PBX hacking and employee abuse. Using user-defined criteria,
that is generally indicative of fraud/abuse, clients are immediately alerted to potential problems
and are able to take corrective action to minimize loss.
In todays business climate, in addition to telecom costs, issues like productivity and
security are top concerns. Veramarks eCAS gives small and mid-size businesses (SME) a
cost-effective method to measure productivity, improve business security, reduce fraud, and
optimize network utilization. By capturing statistical details on every incoming and outgoing
call, and delivering that information to the desktop as easy-to-use reports, eCAS delivers
essential information to management, while retaining employee privacy, because the actual content
of phone conversations is not captured.
Common business drivers for Veramarks eCAS software include:
|
|
Improving business security through alarms and reports that identify called parties or incoming calls that can threaten
employees or the entire organization (e.g., bomb threats); |
|
|
|
Evaluating employee productivity and detecting unauthorized use of company phones for personal calls or 900 numbers; |
|
|
|
Traffic analysis used to optimize network performance and better project network capacity requirements, and to
determine the best long distance carrier plans based on usage trends; |
|
|
|
Detecting fraudulent use of the phone system by hackers. |
|
|
|
Producing revenues by reselling phone services to third-parties (e.g., tenants); and |
|
|
|
Allocating telephone expense to specific cost centers or clients based on actual use; |
In 2006, Veramark released eCAS 4.0. Highlights of the new version included increased call
record storage capacity, enhanced graphical reporting, enhanced alert management, new reports, and
support for new VoIP switches.
The software is installed on the clients network and is accessed entirely through a standard
Internet browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This architecture
allows clients to administer the system from virtually anywhere, without the added cost and
inconvenience of additional client software. The systems high-performance reporting engine
delivers all reports electronically to the Internet browser or via email, allowing the user to
readily view and manipulate the information and apply it for understanding telecommunications cost,
usage, security, and productivity trends.
6
The eCAS system collects and processes call records from up to 100 different remote locations
and can be deployed in business environments that range from 20 to 10,000 extensions. Avaya, their
distributors, and resellers sell a private label version of the eCAS system.
Clients running eCAS software with multiple locations have the option to use Veramarks
Pollable Storage Unit (PSU). The PSU is a solid-state buffer box that collects call record data
from circuit-switched PBXs and Key Systems and stores the data until polled by the call accounting
system. Veramarks Service Bureau clients use these devices extensively.
Managed Services Group
For companies that recognize the benefits of managing communications costs, but lack the means
or desire to utilize internal staff and equipment to perform it, Veramarks Managed Services team
provides completely hosted or partially hosted (e.g., Application Service Provider) solutions. By
using its broad portfolio of products and services, Veramark can remotely poll, process, and report
on telecommunications activity and data, then provide comprehensive reports and analysis to remote
clients in a variety of formats. Managed Services customers can access their data remotely and
securely by Internet login, email, fax, or CD-ROM. Clients that opt for Managed Services generally
sign multi-year contracts and pay for services monthly based on total call records processed and
delivery of other value-added services. Based on the scope of services required, Veramark may
elect to utilize third party contractors to provide portions of contracted services.
Professional Services and Maintenance
To varying degrees, all of the Companys products offer an opportunity to provide professional
services to customers on a fee basis. These sales typically include installation, implementation,
and training services, and often include software customization and data conversion services.
Veramark provides software support and maintenance for an annual fee. Software support and
maintenance includes post warranty support via telephone or modem as well as new software service
pack releases. Annual fees for maintenance range from 1520% of the original software license fee,
depending upon the hours and priority of support and whether a distributor plays an intermediary
support role.
Marketing and Sales
Veramarks marketing and sales personnel are located at its headquarters in Pittsford, New
York, and 11 other locations throughout the United States.
Veramark has separate marketing and distribution strategies for its enterprise and SME
markets. Because of the size and complexity of its enterprise platform, Veramarks marketing and
distribution strategy for VeraSMART is focused primarily on direct sales. On the other hand, the
strategy for its SME product, eCAS, is founded on building mutually beneficial relationships with
companies that have established distribution networks. The nature of these relationships vary,
depending on the product and market. Some sell privately labeled, customized products developed and
manufactured by Veramark to their defined specifications, while others resell Veramark-labeled
products.

New Product Development
Software development costs, meeting recoverability tests, are capitalized in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 when technological feasibility has been
established for the software. The costs capitalized are amortized on a product-by-product basis
over their estimated life, or the ratio of current revenues to current and anticipated revenues
from such software, whichever provides the greater amortization. The Company periodically records
adjustments to write down certain capitalized costs to their net realizable value.
Backlog
At December 31, 2006, Veramark had a backlog of $7,296,000, the majority of which is expected
to be recognized as revenue during 2007. Backlog as of December 31, 2005 was $4,502,000.
The Companys policy is to recognize orders only upon receipt of purchase orders.
8
Competition
The telecommunications management industry is highly competitive and highly fragmented. The
number of domestic suppliers of telemanagement systems for business users is estimated to exceed
100 companies. The vast majority of those are regional firms with limited product lines and
limited sales and development resources. Several competitors are established companies that are
able to compete with Veramark on a national and international basis.
There are fewer competitors in the market for large-scale telemanagement systems for telephone
service providers, although several existing competitors are substantially larger than Veramark and
may be able to devote significantly more resources to product development and marketing.
With respect to all of Veramarks products, some competing firms have greater name recognition
and more financial, marketing, and technological resources than Veramark. Competition in the
industry is based on price, product performance, breadth of product line, and customer service.
Veramark believes its products are priced competitively based upon their performance and
functionality. We also believe that our services organization effectively and efficiently
differentiates Veramark from that of competition. However, Veramark does not strive to be
consistently the lowest priced supplier in its markets. Historically, prices for application
software have declined rapidly in the face of competition. Increased competition for the Companys
software products could adversely affect the Companys sales volume and profits.
Employees
As of February 28, 2007 Veramark employed 94 full-time personnel. Veramarks employees are
not represented by any labor unions.
Item 2 Properties
The Companys principal administrative office and manufacturing facility is located in a
one-story building in Pittsford, New York. Veramark presently leases approximately 65,000 square
feet of the building, of which approximately 8,600 square feet is currently sub-let. The term of
the lease expires on October 31, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of that agreement the Company plans
to exercise its option to renew the existing lease for an additional three years through October
31, 2010.
Item 3 Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is currently a party or
of which any of its property is the subject.
Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

2006 Compared with 2005
Overview
Sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $2,721,000 which compared with sales of
$2,902,000 for the same quarter of 2005. Sales for the full year ended December 31, 2006 totaled
$10,361,000 which compared with sales of $10,859,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Veramark incurred a net loss of $51,000, or $0.01 per share, for the quarter ended December 31,
2006. For the same quarter of 2005 we reported a net income of $266,000, or $0.03 per diluted
share. For the full year ended December 31, 2006 our net loss of $488,000 or $0.06 per share,
compared with a net income of $382,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31,
2005.
Order rates experienced during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, particularly for VeraSMART
and Managed Services increased significantly from the same periods of 2005. Significant portions
of the revenue associated with these orders will be recognized in the first quarter of 2007 and
beyond. Orders booked for the first two quarters of 2006 averaged approximately $2.6 million per
quarter. Orders booked for the third quarter increased to approximately $3.0 million, and orders
booked for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased to approximately $5.4 million.
In December 2006 we announced the award of a contract from a large national retail chain to provide
them with Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) services. The initial term of this contract,
which is included in fourth quarter orders, is valued at approximately $2 million. Pursuant to
terms of the contract, we will provide a range of TEM services for a period of eighteen months, at
which time the customer has the option to license Veramark software products and provide those
services internally. If the customer opts to have Veramark continue to perform the contracted
services on their behalf, the contract will be extended an additional eighteen months, increasing
the total contract value to approximately $4 million over the three years.
11
In addition to the Managed Service opportunity described above, orders received in the fourth
quarter for new VeraSMART systems, combined with upgrades to existing systems, represented the
highest level of orders received for VeraSMART products in any quarter since the initial release of the
product line. For the full year ended December 31, 2006 orders for VeraSMART products and services
increased 42% from the prior year.
In total, orders booked increased 26% from $10.8 million for 2005, to $13.6 million for 2006. As a
result our backlog of embedded revenues, representing orders and contracts received for which
revenue has not yet been recognized, increased to approximately $7.3 million dollars at December
31, 2006, an increase of 62% from the embedded revenue backlog of approximately $4.5 million at
December 31, 2005.
Sales
Sales of VeraSMART, our enterprise level product suite increased 12% and 8%, respectively for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006, as compared with the same three and twelve month
periods of 2005. In October of 2006 we announced the release of VeraSMART 5.0, introducing the
VeraSMART Asset Management Module, further enhancing our enterprise productivity and resource
management solution. The new asset management module is fully integrated with our Work Order/Help
Desk, Allocation, and Directory modules allowing customers the ability to manage and optimize any
tangible or intangible asset within their organization. With the release of VeraSMART 5.0 we are
now able to offer a complete array of facilities management options to our customers.
Included in sales of our enterprise level category of products are the continuing maintenance
revenues associated with VeraSMARTs predecessor product, Quantum. Support for the Quantum line of
products has been in the process of being phased out since April 2003 when new sales of Quantum
were suspended with the introduction of VeraSMART. Maintenance revenues in 2006 derived from
Quantum declined 63% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 41% for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2006 from prior year levels. As previously reported, support for the Quantum
product will cease in its entirety December 31, 2007.
Sales of eCAS products and services increased 9% and 3%, respectively, for the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the same three and twelve month periods of 2005.
Though we have experienced declines in sales of new licenses for eCAS through our largest
distribution channel, Avaya Inc, and their master distributors, these declines have been offset by
increased revenues generated from our eCAS maintenance and support activities.
Sales generated from our Managed Services Group (formerly referred to as Service Bureau) increased
13% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 9% for the twelve months ended December 31,
2006 from the same periods of 2005. Our Managed Services organization offer a variety of services
ranging from full service applications to Application Service Provider (ASP) models, utilizing the
same tools and products developed for our premise based offerings. During 2006 we announced two new
managed services contracts, both for three year terms, and both with large companies in the
beverage industry. Initial revenues associated with those contracts began in the fourth quarter of
2006.
12
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended December 31, 2006 gross margin (defined as sales minus cost of sales)
was $2,202,000 or 81% of sales. For the three months ended December 31, 2005 gross margin was
$2,348,000, also representing 81% of sales. For the year ended December 31, 2006 gross margin was
$8,181,000 or 79% of sales versus $8,971,000, or 83% of sales for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
The lower gross margins for 2006 as compared with 2005 were attributable to higher amortization
costs from previously capitalized software development efforts and an increase in costs associated
with our managed service operation.
Engineering and Software Development Expenses
Net engineering and software development expenses of $891,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006
decreased 13% from net engineering and development expenses of $1,021,000 incurred for the year
ended December 31, 2005. Gross expenditures for 2006, before the effects of software
capitalization, were slightly below 2005 levels, declining from $2,197,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2005 to $2,176,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The chart below summarizes
gross engineering and development expenses, software costs capitalized, the resulting net expenses
charged against operations, and amortization expenses recorded and charged to cost of sales for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Selling General and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2006 selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totaled
$7,814,000, an increase of 3% from expenses of $7,594,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
increased SG&A expenses result from staffing additions made to our direct sales force, a process
initiated during the first half of 2006, which we felt essential to increasing future sales levels.
As a result, selling expenses increased 20% in 2006 over the expenses incurred for 2005, primarily
in the form of higher compensation and travel expenses. Offsetting the additional selling expenses
were reductions in expenses recorded for marketing, administration, and support functions.
13
2005 Compared with 2004
Overview
Veramarks sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 of $2,902,000 represented an
increase of 9% from the sales achieved for the third quarter of 2005. Sales for the fourth quarter
of 2004 were $3,013,000. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 sales of $10,859,000
compared with sales of $11,036,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 our net income of $266,000, or $0.03 per diluted
share compared with a net income of $416,000, or $0.04 per diluted share for the same quarter of
2004. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, net income of $382,000 or $0.04 per diluted
share, represents an improvement of $496,000 from the net loss of $114,000, or $0.01 per share,
incurred for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.
During 2005 we realized an increase in orders booked for each fiscal quarter, with orders
increasing from approximately $2.3 million for the first quarter of the year to over $2.9 million
for the fourth quarter of 2005. The steady growth in orders was primarily attributable to new
orders for VeraSMART, our enterprise level platform, which we have continued to expand in terms of
features and functionality since its inception in 2003. In late September of 2005 we announced the
release of VeraSMART 4.0. This latest version of VeraSMART introduced SMART Work Order, a module
that provides flexible workflow and helpdesk management tools to the overall platform. With this
release, VeraSMART now encompasses integrated modules for Help Desk/Trouble Ticket, Work order,
Directory, Allocation, Call Accounting, Invoice Management, Wireless Management and On-Line
Directory. The continued expansion of the capabilities of VeraSMART is integral to the success of
our strategy to address business opportunities and provide network and work flow solutions to
customers beyond the telemanagement applications on which the Company had traditionally been
focused for much of its history.
In addition to the quarterly increases in orders booked for 2005 our balance sheet was
significantly strengthened by the generation of positive cash flows throughout the year. From a
total cash and investment position of $978,000 at March 31 of this year, we were able to increase
total cash and investments to $1,081,000 at June 30, $1,257,000 at September 30 and to $1,512,000
at December 31. This increase in cash and investment position was achieved through careful
monitoring of operating expenses and staffing levels. For the full year ended December 31 2005,
total gross operating expenses of $9,791,000 were 8% lower than operating expenses incurred for the
year ended December 31, 2004 of $10,670,000.
During 2005 we capitalized $1,176,000 of software development costs associated with versions 3.0
and 4.0 of VeraSMART, down from $1,279,000 of software capitalization during 2004. The development
of version 5.0 of VeraSMART, which will introduce a state-of-the-art Inventory and Assets module,
is currently in development with product launch expected late in the second quarter of 2006.
Sales
Sales of VeraSMART increased 43% for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared with prior year
results, accounting for 22% and 18% of total sales for the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 respectively. Additionally Veramark continues to earn revenue from
14
VeraSMARTS
predecessor product, The Quantum Series, primarily in the form of maintenance contracts. Though
maintenance revenues derived from Quantum are declining as sales of that product were discontinued
in 2003, new sales of VeraSMART product and services are providing growth to the overall sales of
enterprise level products. For the year ended December 31, 2005 total enterprise revenues increased
13% from 2004 results accounting for 36% of total 2005 revenue, up from 31% of total revenues for
2004.
Sales of the Companys core telemanagement product, eCAS, decreased 3% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 as compared with the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. eCAS continues to be
sold primarily on a direct basis to Avaya Inc, or through Avayas master distributor channels. For
the year ended December 31, 2005 direct sales to Avaya decreased 17% from 2004 levels and sales to
Avayas master distributor channels decreased 2%. We continue our efforts to expand sales of eCAS
through alternative channels of distribution, and though experiencing some success, those newer
channels have not as yet provided sufficient sales volumes to make up for the shortfall. In total,
sales of eCAS products and services were 3% lower than a year ago and accounted for 59% of total
revenues for 2005 versus 60% of total revenues for 2004.
Veramark also offers an Outsourced Solutions Group for companies that recognize the benefits of
better managing their telecommunication and network management needs but lack either the means or
desire to utilize internal staff or equipment to perform the function. Veramarks Outsourcing
Group provides completely hosted or partially hosted solutions. Revenues derived from the
outsourced solutions group decreased 21% in 2005 as compared with 2004 results due to the loss of a
major client through its acquisition early in the year. Despite the reduced revenues in 2005 the
Company views the providing of outsourced solutions as a major growth area for the future. In the
last four months of 2005 we began providing outsourced services to new two clients, including SONY
Corporation of America, which signed an initial three year agreement under which Veramark will
manage their call accounting, allocation, invoice management , on-line directory and work order
requirements.
Cost of Sales
For the quarter ended December 31, 2005 our gross margin (defined as sales minus cost of sales) was
$2,348,000 representing 81% of sales. For the fourth quarter of 2004 gross margin totaled
$2,592,000, or 86% of sales. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 gross margins
were $8,971,000 and $9,272,000 representing 83% and 84% of sales respectively. The decrease in
gross margin earned as a percentage of sales for both the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2005 as compared with the same periods of 2004 is primarily attributable to an increase in the
amortization expense associated with software development costs capitalized in prior periods.
Amortization costs of $263,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005 were 59% higher than those incurred
for the fourth quarter of 2004 and amortization costs of $867,000 for the year ended December 31,
2005 were 50 % higher than the previous year.
15
Engineering and Software Development Expenses
Net engineering and software development expenses of $1,021,000 for the year ended December 31,
2005 decreased 28% from the net engineering and software development expenses of $1,415,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2004. Gross expenses, prior to the effects of software capitalization
decreased as well, from $2,694,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $2,197,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2005, a reduction of 18%. The table below summarizes our engineering and
software development efforts for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in terms of gross
expenses incurred, costs capitalized, the resulting net engineering and software development
expenses, and costs amortized and charged to cost of sales.

The reductions in expense, both on a gross and net of capitalization basis reflect lower staffing
levels required in 2005 as opposed to 2004. For 2005 average employment in the engineering and
software development group totaled 21 employees versus an average of 27 employees for 2004
resulting in reductions to both salary and benefit expenses.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2005 selling, general and administrative expenses of $7,594,000
decreased 5% from expenses of $7,976,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our selling,
general and administrative expenses are separated into four separate functions. Those four
functions and a comparison of 2005 and 2004 expenses levels are as follows.

The decrease in expenses associated with marketing, direct sales and support and service, as
was the case with engineering and software development costs, is attributable to reductions in
staffing levels during 2005 versus 2004. Much of the opportunity to reduce staffing levels
reflects the diminished
16
level of resources required to support the Quantum Series, VeraSMARTs
predecessor product, as former Quantum customers have been successfully transitioned to the
VeraSMART platform which requires significantly lower levels of support and maintenance resources.
The company expects that expenditures for selling and marketing costs will increase during 2006 as
we are currently in the process of recruiting additional staff for
those particular functions.
The increase in Administrative expense for 2005 over 2004 reflect higher costs for professional
fees and services, legal and accounting costs, and business insurance coverages.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2006 Veramarks total cash position, consisting of cash in the bank and
short term investments totaled $1,695,000 up 12% from the December 31, 2005 balance of $1,512,000.
Cash balances have remained stable throughout 2006 as we continue to carefully monitor operating
expenses levels and capital spending.
Accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 of $1,444,000 are slightly below the December 2005
accounts receivable balance of $1,522,000 due to the lower sales volume for the fourth quarter of
2006 as compared with the fourth quarter of 2005. The reserve for bad debts at December 31, 2006 is
$30,000 versus $32,000 at the end of 2005. We encountered no significant collection problems in
2006 with total write-offs totaling approximately $1,000.
Prepaid expenses of $262,000 at December 31, 2006 are $101,000 higher than prepaid expenses of
$161,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase represents payments to a third party service provider
for work to be completed in the first quarter of 2007 in conjunction with the Managed Service TEM
contract referred to earlier, and an increase in prepaid commission for orders received in 2006.
The net value of property and equipment at December 31, 2006 totals $669,000, as compared with
$771,000 at December 31, 2005. New capital purchases for 2006 totaled $160,000 and disposals of
obsolete equipment amounted to $52,000, all of which had been fully depreciated. Depreciation
expense for 2006 was $261,000.
Capitalized software development costs of $3,175,000 at the end of 2006 increased 12% from the
prior year balance of $2,827,000. During 2006 we capitalized $1,285,000 of software development
costs, up from $1,176,000 in 2005. Previously capitalized development costs amortized in 2006
totaled $936,000 versus $867,000 in 2005.
As of
December 31, 2006 pension assets, which consist of the cash surrender values of Company-owned life insurance policies designed to fund the companys future pension obligations,
were $2,866,000, an increase of 15% from the December 31, 2005 balance of $2,502,000. These cash
surrender values are available to fund our current operations should that be deemed necessary.
Management currently has no plans to access these funds for operational purposes.
Total current liabilities at December 31, 2006 of $4,834,000, compare with total current
liabilities of $4,073,000 at December 31, 2005. Of the total $761,000 increase, $381,000 is
attributable to an increase in deferred revenues, which essentially represent backlog to the Company. Deferred
revenues which total $3,317,000 at December 31, 2006 versus $2,936,000 at the end of 2005,
represent the value of after sale services for which the company has billed customers, but for
which it has not yet performed the service, and therefore not recorded the associated revenues.
These
17
services typically include maintenance and support, installation, training, and
implementation services. Deferred revenues are accounted for in the current liability section of
the Companys balance sheet in order to recognize the existence of a future obligation. However,
no outflow of working capital, beyond the normal operating costs required to provide those
obligations will be necessary
Other accrued liabilities increased $188,000 from the December 31, 2005 balance of $135,000 to
$323,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase includes a $170,000 deposit from a single customer for
a VeraSMART installation that we anticipate will occur in the second quarter of 2007.
As of December 31, 2006 the net present value of the companys pension obligation was $5,292,000.
As December 31, 2005 the net present value of the pension obligation totaled $4,424,000. The
company carries a series of company-owned life insurance policies, the death benefits of which are
intended to cover future pension obligations. The accumulated death benefits attached to those
policies is $10.2 million at December 31, 2006.
Total Stockholders Equity of $1,003,000 at December 31, 2006 compares with a total $1,786,000
at December 31, 2005, the decrease reflecting the net loss for 2006 of $488,000 and a
reclassification of approximately $349,000 required to initially apply FASB No. 158, Employers
accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. Statement 158 required the
reclassification of unrecognized prior service costs and any unrealized gain or loss on the pension
obligation to the stockholders equity section.
In light of our current cash flows, the access to cash surrender values of company- owned life
insurance, current operating expenses levels, and the absence of debt, it is managements opinion
that sufficient liquidity is available to fund operations and development schedules for the next
twelve months and beyond.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Pension
Obligations The Company sponsors a non-qualified, unfunded, Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (SERP), which provides certain key employees with a defined pension benefit. The
Company believes that the SERP is an important part of its compensation package, necessary for the
recruitment and retention of qualified employees.
The SERP is not encumbered by the coverage and benefit restrictions imposed on qualified plans
by the IRS. In addition, the Company generally is not required to comply with non-discrimination
rules imposed on qualified plans under ERISA.
Unfunded means that the Company has not set aside any particular assets to satisfy its SERP
liabilities. Accordingly any assets the Company may have available to satisfy SERP liabilities are
subject to claims by the Companys creditors.
Recovery of 100% of projected SERP costs is designed through a program of Company-owned life
insurance (COLI). Recovery for the imputed time value of the money, plus all costs associated with
the COLI premium payments, and benefit obligations, are included in this program. The Company
currently owns 14 separate life insurance contracts on selected current and former employees, not
all of who will ultimately qualify for participation in the plan. The cumulative death
18
benefit attached to these policies is $10.2 million and is not included in the Companys
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006.
The cash surrender values of these policies at December 31, 2006 totaled approximately
$2,866,000 and are included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets under the caption of
Pension Assets.
The projected future pension benefits expected to be paid under this plan are as follows,
assuming retirement at 65 and a life expectancy of 80 years for all participants:

The net present value of these projected pension obligations at December 31, 2006, totals
$5,291,798, and is included in the current and long-term liability sections of the Companys
consolidated balance sheets.
Lease
Obligations The Company leases current office facilities and certain equipment under
operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2008. Rent expense under all operating

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. The most significant of these involving
difficult or complex judgments in 2006 include:
|
|
|
Revenue recognition |
|
|
|
|
Capitalization of software development costs |
|
|
|
|
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
|
|
|
Pension liability |
In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or
future events that are inherently uncertain.
The Companys revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software to resellers and end
user customers; fees for services rendered to include installation, training, implementation, and
customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing or hosting of services.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition
With Respect to Certain Transactions, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables, and related interpretations.
Sales of licensed software sold directly to an end user customer are recognized as revenue
upon delivery and installation of the software at the customer site. Sales of licensed software to
a reseller are recognized as revenue when delivery is made to the reseller. Regardless of the form
of sale no revenue is recognized without persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing. Persuasive
evidence is determined to be a signed purchase order received from the customer or an equivalent
form for those customers lacking a formalized purchase order system. In the case of VeraSMART
sales, a software license agreement signed by both parties is often required in addition to a
purchase order or equivalent. Additionally, revenue is only recognized when a selling price is
fixed or determinable and collectibility of the receivable is deemed to be probable.
Service revenues such as training, installation and implementation are recognized when the
service is complete and acknowledged by the customer, regardless as to whether the sale is on a
direct basis or through a reseller arrangement.
Fees charged to customers for post-contract Customer Support are recognized ratably over the
term of the contract. Costs related to maintenance obligations are expensed as incurred.
Sales which constitute a multiple-element arrangement are accounted for by determining if the
elements can be accounted for as separate accounting units, and if so, by applying values to those
units for which there is vendor specific objective evidence of their fair value. We use the
residual method to apply any remaining balance to the remaining elements of the arrangement. More
specifically, this methodology applies when there is embedded maintenance (post-contract customer
support) involved in the sale of a software license, or when the sale of a software license is made
in conjunction with installation services. In the latter case, the recognition of the software
license is deferred until installation is completed.
The Companys revenues generated through hosting solutions are recognized using the
proportional performance method. Revenues are recognized in the month services are rendered and
earned under service agreements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable.
20
Contracts can be terminated with 90 days written notice. All services provided by us through the date
of cancellation are due and payable under the contract terms.
The Company believes its revenue recognition policies are appropriate, in all circumstances,
and that its policies are reflective of complexities arising from customer arrangements involving
such features as maintenance, warranty agreements, license agreements, and other normal course of
business arrangements.
As set forth in Note 1, the Company capitalizes software development costs when technological
feasibility has been established for the software in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Such capitalized costs
are amortized on a product-by-product basis over their economic life or the ratio of current
revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such software, whichever provides the greater
amortization. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of capitalized software
development costs and impairments are recognized in the results of operations when the expected
future undiscounted operating cash flow derived from the capitalized software is less than its
carrying value. Should the Company inaccurately determine when a product reaches technological
feasibility or the economic life of a product, results could differ materially from those reported.
Veramark uses what it believes are reasonable assumptions and where applicable, established
valuation techniques in making its estimates.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
potential inability of its customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes
accounts receivable, historical bad debts, credit concentrations and customer payment terms when
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
As
set forth in Note 7 Benefit Plans, the Company sponsors an unfunded Supplemental
Executive Retirement Program (SERP), which is a nonqualified plan that provides certain key
employees a defined pension benefit. In order to properly record the net present value of future
pension obligations a number of assumptions are required to be made by Companys management. These
assumptions include years of service, life expectancies, and projected future salary increases for
each participant. In addition, management must make assumptions with regard to the proper
long-term interest and liability discount rates to be applied to these future obligations.
Should the Company need to alter any of these assumptions, there is the potential for
significant adjustments to future projected pension liabilities.

Accounting Pronouncements
|
1) |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123®, Share-Based Payment, which established
standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services. This standard requires an issuer to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the award and the recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements.
This eliminated the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic value method
previously allowable under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. Pro forma
disclosure of fair value recognition will no longer be an alternative. In addition, the
adoption of SFAS No. 123® required additional accounting related to the income tax effects
and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS 123® permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: |
Modified prospective method: Compensation cost is recognized beginning with the
effective date of adoption (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123® for all
share-based payments granted after the effective date of adoption and (b) based on
the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the
effective date of adoption that remain unvested on the date of adoption.
Modified retrospective method: Includes the requirements of the modified prospective
method described above, but also permits restatement using amounts previously
disclosed under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 either for (a) all periods
presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. In March 2005, the
SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, Share-Based Payment, which
expresses views of the SEC Staff about the application of SFAS No. 123®. In April
2005, the SEC issued a rule that SFAS No. 123® will be effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005.
|
|
|
SFAS 123® became effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2006 and we opted to utilize the
modified prospective method. We have selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the
most appropriate fair-value method for our awards and have recognized compensation costs on
a straight-line basis over our awards vesting periods. Although the adoption of SFAS No.
123® had no adverse impact on our balance sheet or total cash flows, it adversely affected
our net income and earnings per share for 2006 by approximately $30,000. The actual effects
of SFAS No. 123® depend on numerous factors including the amounts of share-based payments
granted in the future, our stock price volatility, estimated forfeiture rates and employee
stock option exercise behavior. See Note 1 for the effect on reported net income and
earnings per share if we had accounted for our stock option plan using the fair value method
in 2005 and 2004. |
|
|
2) |
|
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan
amendment to APB Opinion No. 29. This statement amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception
for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of
|
22
|
|
|
the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial
condition. |
|
|
3) |
|
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154). SFAS 154
changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. As such, the Company was required to adopt these provisions at the
beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Adoption of SFAS 154 did not have to
have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements. |
|
|
4) |
|
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an
Interpretation of FASB Statement NO. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. This
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. Fin 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As
such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting Fin 48
on its financial statements, but does not expect adoption to have a significant effect. |
|
|
5) |
|
In September 2006, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) was issued to
provide guidance on Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements. SAB 108 addresses how
the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current-year financial statements. The SAB 108 requires registrants to
quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light
of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
determined to be material, the SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a
cumulative-effect to beginning-of-year retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006 and early application is encouraged for any interim
period of the first fiscal year ending after that date. The Company will adopt SAB 108 in
January, 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on its financial
statements, but does not expect adoption to have a significant effect. |
Issues and Risks
|
|
|
The following factors, among others discussed herein and in the Companys filings under the
Act, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth
or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: economic, competitive, governmental and
technological factors, increased operating costs, failure to obtain necessary outside
financing, risks related to natural disasters and financial market fluctuations. Such
factors also include: |
23
|
|
|
Intellectual Property Rights
Veramark regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect it with a combination
of copyright, trademark and trade secret protections, employee and third-party
non-disclosure agreements and other methods of protection. Despite those precautions, it may
be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of Veramarks products,
reverse engineer or obtain and use information that Veramark regards as proprietary. The
laws of some foreign countries do not protect Veramarks proprietary rights to the same
extent as the laws of the United States. Any misappropriation of Veramarks intellectual
property could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.
Furthermore, although Veramark take steps to prevent unlawful infringement of others
intellectual property, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
infringement claims against Veramark in the future with respect to current or future
products. Any such assertion could require Veramark to enter into royalty arrangements or
result in costly litigation. |
|
|
|
|
New Products and Services
Veramark has made significant investments in research, development and marketing for new
products, services and technologies, including the VeraSMART® software offering and its
service bureau outsourced solutions. Significant revenue from new product and service
investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, if such
products or services are profitable, operating margins may not be as high as the margins
historically experienced by Veramark. |
|
|
|
|
Declines in Demand for Software
If overall market demand for software and computer devices generally, as well as call
accounting software or enterprise level products specifically, declines, or corporate
spending for such products declines, Veramarks revenue will be adversely affected.
Additionally, Veramarks revenues would be unfavorably impacted if customers reduce their
purchases of new software products or upgrades to existing products. |
|
|
|
|
Product Development Schedule
The development of software products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products
and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods.
Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products,
particularly any delays in future releases of the VeraSMART® suite of products, could
adversely affect Veramark revenues. |
|
|
|
|
Competition
Veramark experiences intensive competition across all markets for its products and services.
Some competing firms have greater name recognition and more financial, marketing and
technological resources than Veramark. These competitive pressures may result in decreased
sales volumes, price reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for marketing and
sales incentives, resulting in lower revenues, gross margins and operating income. |
|
|
|
|
Marketing and Sales
Veramarks marketing and distribution strategy is founded on building mutually beneficial
relationships with companies that have established distribution networks. Some sell
privately labeled, customized products developed and manufactured by Veramark to their
specific specifications, while others resell Veramarks products. Any loss of the continued
availability of those relationships could have a material adverse effect on Veramarks business and
results of operations.
|
24
Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has no long-term bank debt obligations. The Company has no foreign currency
exchange risk and has no foreign currency exchange contracts.
The Company generally invests its available cash in low risk securities such as bond funds or
government issued securities.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005 the carrying value of investments approximated fair market
value. Investments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 consisted of the following:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders
Veramark Technologies, Inc.
Pittsford, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Veramark Technologies, Inc. as of December
31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Veramark Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

VERAMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006, 2005 AND 2004
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description
of business Veramark Technologies, Inc., (the Company) designs and produces
communications management and operation support software for users and providers of
telecommunication services in the global market. The Company operates in one segment.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair value of the Companys
cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value, which, due to the relatively short
maturities and variable interest rates of the instruments, approximates current market rates.
Investments
The Company records its investments in accordance with Statement of Financial
Account Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Certain Debt and
Equity Securities. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has classified its portfolio
as available-for-sale securities. These securities are recorded at fair value, based on quoted
market prices in an active market, with net unrealized holding gains and losses reported in
stockholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2006 and 2005
the carrying value of investments approximated fair market value.
Investments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 consisted of the following:

The contractual maturities of the Companys investments as of December 31, 2006 are primarily
due within one year.
Accounts
receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts The Company extends credit to its
customers in the normal course of business and collateral is generally not required for trade
receivables. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through the use of credit approvals, credit
limits and monitoring procedures. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance based on its analysis of specific
balances, taking into consideration the age of the past due account and anticipated collections
resulting from legal issues. An account is considered past due after
thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Based on these factors, there was an allowance for
doubtful
34
accounts of $30,000 and $32,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Changes
to the allowance for doubtful accounts are charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net
of recoveries.
Concentrations
of credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company
to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of investments and accounts
receivable. The Company places its cash and investments with quality financial institutions
and, by policy, limits the amount of investment exposure to any one financial institution. The
Company has not experienced any losses to date on its invested cash and investments.
The Companys customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region, nor in any
specific industry. As of December 31, 2006, one customer accounted for approximately $346,000
of the total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2005, two customers accounted for
approximately $521,000 of the total accounts receivable balance. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers financial conditions but does not require collateral to
support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based
upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other
information. Such losses to date have been within managements expectations.
The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks, which may from time to time exceed
federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the
institutions and believes that the risk of any loss is minimal.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company
evaluates the net realizable value of inventory on hand considering deterioration,
obsolescence, replacement costs and other pertinent factors, and records adjustments as
necessary.
Prepaid Expenses consist of cash outlays made by the Company for economic benefits to be
realized in future periods. These benefits typically include the unutilized portions of
current business insurances and maintenance contracts on Company-owned equipment. Prepaid
expenses are generally expensed on a straight-line basis over the corresponding life of the
underlying asset, with the exception of prepaid commissions which are expensed at the time the
revenue that gave rise to the commission is recognized.
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis using the
following useful lives:
|
|
|
Computer hardware and software
|
|
3-5 years |
Machinery and equipment
|
|
4-7 years |
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
5-10 years |
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Term of lease or useful life |
All maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and
accumulated depreciation for property and equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are
removed from the accounts, and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings.
Long-lived assets In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company tests
long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded in
2006, 2005, or 2004.
35
Software development costs meeting recoverability tests are capitalized, under SFAS No. 86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, and amortized on a product-by-product basis over their economic life, ranging from three to five
years, or the ratio of current revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such software,
whichever provides the greater amortization in a particular period. The Company capitalized
$1,285,233 of development costs in 2006, $1,175,281 of development costs in 2005 and $1,278,900
of development costs in 2004. The Company amortized $936,492 of development costs in 2006, and
$867,119 of development costs in 2005 and $577,856 of development costs in 2004. The Company
periodically reviews the carrying value of capitalized software development costs and
impairments are recognized in the results of operations when the expected future undiscounted
operating cash flow derived from the capitalized software is less than its carrying value. No
charges for impairment were required in 2006, 2005 or 2004.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires entities to disclose the
fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized
on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. SFAS No. 107 defines
fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the carrying
value of certain financial instruments (accounts receivable, accounts payable, and current
portion of capital lease obligations) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of
the instruments or interest rates, which are comparable with current rates. At December 31,
2006 and 2005, the Company has no long-term debt.
Revenue
recognition The Companys revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software
to resellers and end user customers; fees for services rendered to include installation,
training, implementation, and customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing or hosting of
services.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Software Revenue
Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and related interpretations.
Sales of licensed software sold directly to an end user customer are recognized as revenue upon
delivery and installation of the software at the customer site. Sales of licensed software to
a reseller are recognized as revenue when delivery is made to the reseller. Regardless of the
form of sale no revenue is recognized without persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing.
Persuasive evidence is determined to be a signed purchase order received from the customer or
an equivalent form for those customers lacking a formalized purchase order system. In the case
of VeraSMART sales, a software license agreement signed by both parties is often required in
addition to a purchase order or equivalent. Additionally, revenue is only recognized when a
selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the receivable is deemed to be
probable.
Service revenues such as training, installation and implementation are recognized when the
service is complete and acknowledged by the customer, regardless as to whether the sale is on a
direct basis or through a reseller arrangement.
Fees charged to customers for post-contract Customer Support are recognized ratably over the
term of the contract. Costs related to maintenance obligations are expensed as incurred.
Sales which constitute a multiple-element arrangement are accounted for by determining if the
elements can be accounted for as separate accounting units, and if so, by applying values to
those units for which there is
vendor specific objective evidence of their fair value. We use the residual method to apply
any remaining balance to the remaining elements of the arrangement. More specifically, this
methodology
36
applies when there is embedded maintenance (post-contract customer support)
involved in the sale of a software license, or when the sale of a software license is made in
conjunction with installation services. In the latter case, the recognition of the software
license is deferred until installation is completed.
The Companys revenues generated through hosting solutions are recognized using the
proportional performance method. Revenues are recognized in the month services are rendered
and earned under service agreements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable.
Contracts can be terminated with 90 days written notice. All services provided by us through
the date of cancellation are due and payable under the contract terms.
Income taxes are provided on the income earned in the financial statements. In accordance with
SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company applies the liability method of accounting
for income taxes, under which deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the impact of
temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. A valuation allowance is
recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than
not, that such assets will be realized.
Net income (or loss) per common share (EPS) is computed in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of stock options
and warrants issued. Included in diluted earnings per share in 2005 are 553,972 shares,
representing the dilutive effect of stock options issued. There were no dilutive effects of
stock options in 2006 or 2004, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive, due to net loss
incurred for those years.
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders equity during
the period except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners. The
Companys comprehensive income includes net loss or earnings, unrealized gains or losses on
available for sale investments, and unrecognized prior service costs and gains or loss
associated with the Companys Supplement Executive Retirement Program.
Research and Development Costs Research and development costs, other than certain software
development costs previously disclosed in Note 1, are expensed as incurred. For the years
ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, research and development costs expensed were $890,616,
$1,021,338, and $ 1,415,000, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements
based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite
service period (usually the vesting period). We adopted SFAS No. 123R effective beginning
January 1, 2006, using the Modified Prospective Application. SFAS No. 123R applies to the new
awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. The impact of adopting
SFAS No. 123R was an increase of $29,700 to operating expenses for the year ended December 31,
2006.
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the following table includes disclosures
required by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No.
148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, and illustrates
the effect on net
earnings and net earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123:

Accounting Pronouncements
1) |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123®, Share-Based Payment, which established
standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services. This standard requires an issuer to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the award and the recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements.
This eliminated the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic value method
previously allowable under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. Pro forma
disclosure of fair value recognition will no longer be an alternative. In addition, the
adoption of SFAS No. 123® required additional accounting related to the income tax effects
and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. |
|
|
|
SFAS 123® permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: |
Modified prospective method: Compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective
date of adoption (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123® for all share-based
payments granted after the effective date of adoption and (b) based on the requirements
of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of adoption
that remain unvested on the date of adoption.
Modified retrospective method: Includes the requirements of the modified prospective
method described above, but also permits restatement using amounts previously disclosed
under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 either for (a) all periods presented or
(b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
|
|
In March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, Share-Based Payment,
which expresses views of the SEC Staff about the application of SFAS No. 123®. In April 2005,
the SEC issued a rule that SFAS No. 123® will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after June 15, 2005. |
|
|
|
SFAS 123® became effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2006 and we opted to utilize the
modified prospective method. We have selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the
most appropriate fair-value method for our awards and have recognized compensation costs on a
straight-line basis over our awards vesting periods. Although the adoption of SFAS No. 123®
had no adverse impact on our balance sheet or total cash flows, it adversely affected our net
income and earnings per share for 2006 by approximately $30,000. The actual effects of SFAS
No. 123® depend on numerous factors including the amounts of share-based payments granted in
the future, our stock price volatility, estimated forfeiture rates and employee stock option
exercise behavior. See Note 1 for the effect on reported net income and earnings per share if
we had accounted for our stock option plan using the fair value method in 2005 and 2004. |
|
2) |
|
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment
to APB Opinion No. 29. This statement amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception
for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary
exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange. Adoption of this statement did not
expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. |
|
3) |
|
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections -
a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154). SFAS 154
changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in |
39
|
|
the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. As such, the Company was required to adopt these provisions at the
beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Adoption of SFAS 154 did not
have to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements. |
|
4) |
|
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an
Interpretation of FASB Statement NO. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. This
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. Fin 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As
such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting Fin 48
on its financial statements, but does not expect adoption to have a significant effect. |
|
5) |
|
In September 2006, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) was issued to
provide guidance on Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements. SAB 108 addresses how
the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current-year financial statements. The SAB 108 requires registrants to
quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light
of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
determined to be material, the SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a
cumulative-effect to beginning-of-year retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006 and early application is encouraged for any interim
period of the first fiscal year ending after that date. The Company will adopt SAB 108 in
January, 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on its financial
statements, but does not expect adoption to have a significant effect. |
Stock Purchase Plans Under the Companys Employees Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), employees
can purchase Veramark stock at a 15% discount to the lesser of the market price at the beginning
or ending date of the six-month periods ending approximately June 30th and December
31st. Employees may elect to make after-tax payroll deduction of 1% to 10% of
compensation as defined by the plan to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under
this plan does not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the
full market value of the shares at the time such option is granted), and only to the extent that,
immediately after the grant, such employee would not own or hold outstanding options to purchase
stock, such that his or her combined voting power would exceed 5% of all classes of capital stock
of the Company. Employee payroll deductions are for six-month period beginning approximately each
January 1 and July 1. Shares of the Companys common stock are purchased on or about June 30 or
December 31 unless the participant has either elected to withdraw from the plan or was terminated.
Purchased shares are restricted for sale or transfer for a six-month period. All participants
funds received prior to the ESPP purchase dates are held as Company liabilities without interest
or other increment. No dividends are paid on employee contributions until shares are purchased.
Plan participants purchased 15,436 shares at an average
purchase price of $0.60 in 2006, 20,211 shares at an average purchase price of $0.66 in 2005
and 24,938 shares at an average purchase price of $0.83 in 2004.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS) |
|
|
|
SFAS 128 Earnings Per Share requires the Company to calculate its net income (loss) per share
based on basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, as defined. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, issued by the Company, are reflected in
diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options will
generally have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the
period exceeds the exercise price of the options. |

INDEMNIFICATION OF CUSTOMERS |
|
|
The Companys agreements with customers generally require us to indemnify the customer against
claims that its software infringes third party patent, copyright, trademark or other
proprietary rights. Such indemnification obligations are generally limited in a variety of
industry-standard respects, including our right to replace an infringing product. As of
December 31, 2006, the Company had not experienced any material losses related to these
indemnification obligations and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. The
Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations, and
consequently, the Company has not established any related reserves. |

Effective with the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company adopted FASB No. 158 Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. FASB 158 requires the
Company to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined postretirement plan as
an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the
year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Statement further requires
companies to measure its plan assets and obligations as of the date of the companys fiscal
year end balance sheet. Accordingly the Company has moved the annual measurement date of its
Supplemental Executive Retirement Program from October 31 to December 31. |
|
|
|
As a result of the adoption of FASB No.158 the Company has adjusted its pension liability as of
December 31, 2006 for unrecognized prior service costs of $374,618 and recorded an unrealized
gain of $25,658 related to the pension obligation, both of which have been included in other
comprehensive income. |
|
|
|
The Company maintains life insurance covering certain key employees under its Supplemental
Executive Retirement Program with the Company named as beneficiary. The Company intends to use
the death benefits of these policies, as well as loans against the accumulating cash surrender
value of the policies, to fund the pension obligation. The total death benefit associated with
these policies is $10.2 million, with an associated accumulated cash surrender value of
approximately $2,866,000 at December 31, 2006. The accumulated cash surrender values of these
policies at December 31, 2005, was approximately $2,502,000. All of the current
accumulated cash surrender values are available to meet current pension obligations, or to fund
current general operations of the Company in the event that should become necessary. |
|
|
|
The projected future pension benefits under this plan are as follows, assuming a retirement age
of 65 and a life expectancy of 80 years for all participants: |

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys
Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance (Chief Financial Officer) concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting, that occurred during the period covered by this report, that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting.
The Companys disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that all deficiencies in design or
operation of those control systems, or all instances of errors or fraud, will be prevented or
detected. Those control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the
goals of those systems in light of the Companys resources and nature of the Companys business
operations. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting remain subject to risks of human error and the risk that controls can be circumvented for
wrongful purposes by one or more individuals in management or non-management positions.
