PART I

Item 1 Business

     Veramark Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Veramark”), was incorporated originally under the name MOSCOM Corporation in New York in January 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1984. The Company’s name was changed to Veramark Technologies, Inc., on June 15, 1998. The Company merged with the privately-owned Angeles Group, Inc., on January 7, 2000.

     Veramark produces a broad range of communications cost management systems for users of IP-based and circuit-switched private branch exchange (PBX) networks. These products utilize industry standard databases and dynamic reports to reduce telephone usage costs, identify equipment locations and status, eliminate telecom fraud, and deliver online corporate directory information. Veramark’s products consist primarily of web-based software applications that run on personal computers or servers that use Microsoft Windows operating systems and Microsoft SQL Server database management. Target end- user customers range from small businesses with 20 employees to the largest organizations in industry, government, finance, and health care encompassing hundreds of locations with over 100,000 employees.

     Veramark is one of the world’s leading producers of call accounting systems and has sold, since its incorporation, nearly 100,000 of these systems, and related products, to customers in more than 80 countries. Veramark’s call accounting systems are sold through leading manufacturers and resellers of telephone systems including Avaya, SBC, ScanSource/Catalyst Telecom, VodaOne, Jenne Communications, Sprint/North Supply, and Graybar.

     In addition to call management, Veramark’s enterprise telemanagement systems provide cable management, invoice and asset management, flexible directory applications, and work order management. Due to their higher levels of complexity and cost, these more comprehensive systems are primarily sold to end users on a direct basis.

Products and Services

eCAS™

     Veramark’s 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 gives businesses easy access to detailed information on telephone usage including the dialed or incoming telephone number, calling or receiving extension, call duration, time of day, destination, trunk used, and cost of each call. The eCAS software provides this essential information in graphical, summary and detailed report formats, without monitoring the content of actual phone conversations.

     The primary appeal of eCAS is that clients save an average of 10–30% through heightened awareness and proactive management of their network usage. As a result, the cost of an eCAS system can generally be recovered through direct expense reduction in less than one year.

     In addition to call management, the eCAS software is frequently purchased and used for other valuable reasons including:

     The eCAS product, released in October 2001, was the first and only fully web-based system in the market at that time. The eCAS software is installed on the client’s network and 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 eCAS systems high-performance reporting engine delivers all reports electronically to the Internet browser, allowing the user to readily view and manipulate the information and making the data more useful for understanding cost, usage, security, and productivity trends. 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.

     The eCAS product has allowed the Company to broaden its channels of distribution as well as increase sales to existing channels and direct end-user customers. To the Company’s knowledge, the eCAS solution remains as the only completely web-based solution available in the market today.

4

     Clients running the eCAS software with multiple locations have the option to use Veramark’s Pollable Storage Unit (PSU). The PSU is a solid-state device that collects data from circuit-switched PBXs and Key Systems and stores the data until polled by the call accounting system. Veramark’s Service Bureau clients also use these devices extensively.

     PBX fraud detection systems address a problem estimated to exceed $1 billion annually the theft of telephone service through PBX “hacking” and employee abuse. All of Veramark’s call accounting systems allow businesses to detect potential fraud/abuse through the use of dynamic user-defined criteria that when met or exceeded result in an email alarm. Upon receipt of a fraud alarm, the business can take corrective action to minimize loss. Through use of these products, businesses receive 24-hour protection against fraud.

VeraSMART®

     Our next generation Quantum Series® software solution, VeraSMART®, is a highly modular solution that takes advantage of its totally web-based design to quickly and effectively deliver essential information to the people who need it. The modularity of the system allows clients to pick and choose the modules they need today, while keeping an eye on what the future may hold.

     Released in the second quarter of 2003, VeraSMART 1.0 contained SMART Call Accounting, the first module to harness the speed and flexibility of our new totally web-based platform. SMART Call Accounting brought the ease and power of web-based software to enterprise-level telecom usage monitoring and tracking. The launch of the VeraSMART 1.0 product gave enterprise customers unprecedented ability to see and control their telecommunications usage expenses.

The VeraSMART 2.0 software, scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2004, brings even more ease and power to enterprise cost management. In addition to SMART Call Accounting, VeraSMART 2.0 software contains four additional modules, each designed to pinpoint and facilitate an important aspect of communications management. The VeraSMART 2.0 software modules include:

5

In future versions of the VeraSMART product, we will continue to expand the features and capabilities of our powerful new totally web-based platform. VeraSMART software Version 3.0, for example, is being developed to feature the automated import of invoices from electronic media (disks, CDs, etc.) and expanded reporting on invoices and charges. Other modules being considered for future addition to the VeraSMART platform are Work Order/Trouble Ticket, Asset Management, and Cable Management.

Quantum Series ™®

     The target market for Veramark’s Quantum Series® product is Fortune 1000 companies and comparably sized organizations in health care, utilities, financial services and government sectors. This flexible and highly modular telemanagement system employs a central directory system and relational database that features user-definable database views and customized reports. The suite offers a wide variety of billing and facilities management tools that can be used as standalones or in combination, thereby allowing clients to customize a solution to their specific business needs. The suite includes:

Outsourced Solutions Group

     For companies that recognize the benefits of telemanagement, but lack the means or desire to utilize internal staff and equipment to perform it, Veramark’s Outsourcing team provides completely hosted or partially hosted (e.g., software application service provider) solutions. Using the same telemanagement tools developed by Veramark for licensed software customers, Veramark can remotely poll, process, and report on telecommunications activity and data, then provide comprehensive reports and analysis in a variety of formats. Outsourced Solution customers can access their data remotely and securely by Internet login, email, fax, or CD-ROM. Clients that opt for outsourced solutions generally sign multi-year contracts and pay for services monthly based total call records processed and delivery of other value-added services.

Professional Services and Maintenance

     To varying degrees, all of the Company’s 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. The vast majority of active users of Veramark’s products pay annual maintenance fees, which entitle them to post warranty support via telephone or modem as well as new software service pack releases. Annual fees for maintenance range from 15–30% 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

     Veramark’s marketing and sales personnel are located at its headquarters in Pittsford, New York, and 7 locations throughout the United States.

     Veramark’s marketing and distribution strategy is founded on building mutually beneficial relationships with companies that have established distribution networks. The nature of the relationship varies depending on the product and market. Some sell privately labeled, customized products developed and manufactured by Veramark to their specific specifications, while others resell Veramark’s products.

     Veramark’s marketing strategy is focused on telephone switch vendors, equipment and system resellers, system integrators, consultants, and providers of telephone services. A partial listing of companies privately labeling or reselling Veramark products follows:

New Product Development

     Veramark is currently pursuing several opportunities to expand its telemanagement lines and to offer products for related markets.

     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 its 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, 2003, Veramark had a backlog of $968,859, all of which is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2004. Backlog as of December 31, 2002 was $3,507,426. Backlog is not deemed to be a material indicator of 2004 revenues.

     The Company’s policy is to recognize orders only upon receipt of purchase orders.

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.

8

     With respect to all of Veramark’s 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 Company’s software products could adversely affect the Company’s sales volume and profits.

Employees

     As of February 29, 2004, Veramark employed 108 full-time personnel. Veramark’s employees are not represented by any labor unions.

Item 2 Properties

     The Company’s 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.

     As of February 1, 2004, the Company also occupies 3,819 square feet of a building in Westlake Village, California, pursuant to a lease that expires on March 31, 2007.

Item 3 Legal Proceedings

     There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject.

Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Results of Operations

     Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains statements that are forward-looking. Such statements are identified by the use of words like “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations, financial performance, the Company’s strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market position and expenditures. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations as of the date of this report. The Company cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be accurate, although the Company believes that it has been reasonable in its expectations and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are subject to the risks identified in “Issues and Risks” and elsewhere in this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements and are advised to review the risks identified in “Issues and Risks” and elsewhere in this report. The Company has no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

2003 Compared with 2002

     The Company’s overall performance in 2003 represented a significant improvement in a number of key areas, both financial and operational, from results realized over the prior 3 years. Despite the necessity to maintain static staffing levels throughout 2003 the Company was able to continue its investment in a number of key product development projects essential to the Company’s long–term growth plans. These projects included major upgrades to the eCAS™ call accounting product line, as well as the initial release of a new enterprise level product platform, VeraSMART®. The Company intends that future releases of the VeraSMART software, currently under development, will continue to expand its inherent functionality and eventually replace the Company’s current Quantum Series enterprise class product.

     The Company was also able to maintain and slightly improve its liquidity position, generating a positive cash flow from operations for 2003 of just under $100,000. This increase was achieved by closely monitoring staffing levels, discretionary spending, carefully analyzing capital expenditures and the streamlining of operations throughout the organization. The Company remains free of any bank debt as of December 31, 2003 and does not anticipate a need for borrowing in the near future. The Company believes that, given its current cash position, level of operating expenses, and projections for 2004 revenues, adequate sources of capital are in place to meet its objectives throughout 2004 and beyond, subject to continued improvement of the economy generally and enterprise capital spending specifically.

     While the Company is encouraged by the year’s results, we remain cautious in the face of current economic conditions. While positive signs have emerged in certain segments of the economy, there has not been a consistent and sustainable upward trend in capital spending throughout our markets. Customers continue to hold back on their capital spending and continue to delay upgrades to their systems whenever and wherever possible. As the Company doesn’t typically generate large backlogs, its financial results and short-term cash flows are heavily dependent on current market conditions and order rates. Over the last two quarters of 2003 in particular, the weekly order intakes

12

have varied significantly from month to month, a situation, which makes long term forecasting and strategic planning difficult.

     For both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003, the Company achieved an increase in net sales of 3% from the same three and twelve months ended December 31, 2002. Net sales of $2,844,153 for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared with net sales of $2,761,933 for the same three months of 2002, and net sales of $11,463,867 for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased from $11,141,507 for the prior year.

     The Company reported net income of $465,935, or $0.05 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, which compared with a net loss of $413,415, or a loss of $0.05 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company generated net income of $294,934 or $0.03 per diluted share, representing a significant improvement from the net loss of $2,008,443, or $0.24 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2002. This improvement in the Company’s annual net income resulted from a combination of factors, including:

     The increase in net sales for both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the same three and twelve months of the prior year resulted from increased sales of the Company’s core call accounting and telemanagement products and services. Net sales of call accounting and telemanagement products increased 8% and 14% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003 from 2002 results for the same periods, primarily due to increased sales of the Company’s eCAS™ product line, still believed to be the only totally web-based product of its kind on the market two years after its initial launch.

     The increase in net sales of core call accounting products, however, was partially offset by a decrease in net sales of the Company’s enterprise-level product offerings, repeating a pattern that the Company has experienced over the past several years. Sales of the Company’s enterprise products decreased 4% and 12% for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the same three and twelve months ended December 31, 2002. The decline, particularly in sales of the Company’s Quantum Series® product line, which is being phased out by the Company and replaced by the VeraSMART® software solution, reflects the continued reluctance of customers to increase capital spending and to delay upgrades to their systems and networks until economic conditions stabilize. Despite the decline in enterprise sales during 2003, we remain optimistic about our new VeraSMART enterprise product platform. The initial version of the product, VeraSMART 1.0, was released late in the second quarter of 2003, and accounted for 9% of fourth quarter revenues. Although we recognize that overall enterprise capital spending has been slow to resume, current economic forecasts reflect slow but steady improvement in enterprise spending during 2004 and we believe we are well positioned with the VeraSMART software solution to take full advantage of this recovery. Since the beginning of this year, we have seen a quantitative increase in the number of requests for proposals for larger enterprise solutions. For the year ended December 31, 2003, sales of enterprise-level products accounted for 33% of the Company’s total sales.

13

     Revenues generated from the Company’s Service Bureau operations continue to increase, up 10% for 2003 versus 2002. By opting for an outsourced solution to meet their telemanagement needs, customers can reap the benefits of managed telemanagement services without having to utilize internal staff and equipment and the inherent costs that creates. While still relatively modest in terms of current revenues, the Company continues to promote its capability to provide outsourced telemanagement solutions to those that recognize the benefits of telemanagement, but lack the means or desire to utilize internal staff or equipment to perform it. Using the same telemanagement tools developed for software customers, the Company can remotely poll, process, and report on telecommunications activity and data. Service Bureau customers can access standard, as well as customized, reports by e-mail, fax, web or CD-ROM. Customers typically sign multi-year contracts and pay for services monthly, based on the number of call records processed. In early 2004 the Company reached terms with the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, of the Lockheed Martin Corporation, to provide outsourced call accounting applications with services beginning in the first quarter of 2004. In addition to Lockheed Martin, current Service Bureau clients include Prudential Insurance, Travelers, and Fleet Bank.

     The Company continues to recognize an increasing proportion of its revenues from a variety of post sale activities that include maintenance and support, installation services, training and customization. For the year ended December 31, 2003, these post sale activities accounted for 63% of the Company’s total sales, as compared with 60% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2002.

     Gross profit margins, as determined by subtracting cost of sales from total net sales, improved in 2003 as compared with 2002, primarily due to a reduction in amortization expenses charged to cost of sales for development costs capitalized in prior years. For the year ended December 31, 2003, amortization expense totaled $454,707, as compared to $915,102 for the year ended December 31, 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company earned a gross profit margin of $9,758,902, or 85% of sales, up 10% from the gross profit margin of $8,845,080, or 79% of sales, for the year ended December 31, 2002.

     Despite the difficulties encountered in the last several years, principally due to the general economic conditions that caused enterprise capital spending of our customers to decrease significantly, we continue to move forward with new development projects. During 2003, the Company remained committed to investing development resources in both eCAS™ and VeraSMART® products. Although pleased with the progress eCAS has made since its introduction in 2002, the Company sees new opportunities for this solution in the small to mid-sized marketplace. The Company also believes that the ongoing development efforts on the VeraSMART platform, which, when complete will be the next generation replacement of the current Quantum Series® enterprise product suite, will provide a distinct competitive advantage in the large enterprise market. Additionally, the expansion of the VeraSMART platform should broaden outsourced services capabilities, a key growth area for the Company.

     For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company realized a decrease in net engineering and development expenses, as compared with 2002, reflecting the capitalization of development costs related to the development of the VeraSMART enterprise platform. The table below summarizes the Company’s engineering and development efforts for 2003, as compared with 2002,

14

detailing gross spending, costs capitalized, amounts amortized, and the overall impact on the Company’s Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

     For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred selling, general, and administrative expenses of $7,666,338, a reduction of 4% from selling, general, and administrative expenses of $8,002,936 incurred for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company was able to reduce operating expenses, while maintaining employment levels through the careful monitoring of discretionary spending in the areas of salaries and benefits, travel, and facility costs. A breakdown of expenses incurred by function for 2003 versus 2002 follows:

     The Company continues to monitor operating expenses carefully, as well as search for additional operating efficiencies. As of December 31, 2003, the Company employed 102 full-time employees versus 101 employees at December 31, 2002.

2002 Compared with 2001

     Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 were $2,761,933 as compared to $2,887,218 for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s sales were $11,141,507 versus $12,512,690 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     For the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company incurred a net loss of $413,415 or $0.05 per diluted share, an improvement of $71,650 from the net loss of $485,065, or $0.06 per diluted share for the same quarter of 2001. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, the net loss incurred was $2,008,443, or $0.24 per diluted share as compared with a net loss of $1,802,457, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. Results for 2001 included a one-time gain of $315,676 recognized on the sale of the Company’s former billing and customer care product line.

15

     Results for the fourth quarter of 2002 continued the pattern seen throughout 2002. Impressive gains in the sales of core call accounting products, being offset by a decline in the sales of larger enterprise level product offerings. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2002 sales of call accounting products and services increased by 21% from the sales levels achieved for the fourth quarter of 2001, and for the full year ended December 31, 2002 sales of call accounting products and services increased 16% from the prior year. The increased sales (with over 1,500 systems sold to mostly new customers) demonstrate the wide acceptance of the Company’s eCAS™ product launched in late 2001. The eCAS product has allowed the Company to broaden its channels of distribution as well as increase sales to existing channels and direct end-user customers. To the Company’s knowledge, eCAS remains as the only completely web-based solution available in the market today.

     Sales of the Company’s Quantum Series™® of products, marketed to Fortune 1000 companies, decreased 25% and 23% for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the same three and twelve months periods of 2001. The decline in sales of enterprise level products continues to be impacted by the ongoing economic recession, particularly in the telecom sector. Customers continue to hold back on their capital spending and continue to delay upgrades to their systems whenever and wherever possible.

     While still relatively modest in terms of current revenues, the Company continues to promote its capability to provide outsourced telemanagement solutions to those that recognize the benefits of telemanagement, but lack the means or desire to utilize internal staff or equipment to perform it. Using the same telemanagement tools developed for software customers, the Company can remotely poll, process, and report on telecommunications activity and data. Service Bureau customers can access standard, as well as customized, reports by e-mail, fax, web or CD-ROM. Customers typically sign multi-year contracts and pay for services monthly, based on the number of call records processed. In late December 2002, the Company signed a two-year agreement with Fleet National Bank to provide a number of call accounting services and related processing services for use in its operations. Fleet Bank joins a client list that includes Prudential Insurance, Travelers Insurance and Equistar. For the year ended December 31, 2002, service bureau revenues accounted for 4% of total sales.

     The Company continues to generate an increasingly larger percentage of its sales from a variety of service and support activities. These activities include installation, training, customization and consulting services, as well as maintenance and support. For the year ended December 31, 2002, service and support activities accounted for 60% of total sales, as compared with 52% of total sales for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     The gross profit margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2002, was $2,187,474 or 79% of sales, as compared to a gross profit margin of $2,322,887, representing 80% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the gross profit margin of $8,845,080 or 79% compared with a gross profit margin of $10,345,775, or 83% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decline in profit margins as a percentage of sales reflect higher amortization costs in 2002 versus those recognized in 2001, the result of amortizing previously capitalized costs associated with the development of the eCAS product.

     Net engineering and software development expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, of $2,868,188 represents a decrease of 3% from the net engineering and software

16

development expenses of $2,946,350 incurred for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. However, as the below table highlights, gross expenditures for engineering and software development expenses for 2002, were reduced by 30% from the prior year level of $4,108,238.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses of $8,002,936 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, were reduced 16% from the spending incurred for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 of $9,587,099. A breakdown of expenses by functional area for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 follows:

     The Company continues to monitor operating expenses carefully, as well as search for additional operating efficiencies in these challenging economic times. As of December 31, 2002, the Company employed 101 full-time employees versus 118 employees at December 31, 2001.

     As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s total cash position, consisting of cash in operating accounts plus short-term investments, totaled $1,645,926. This represents a positive cash flow of $98,050 for 2003 over the December 31, 2002 cash position of $1,547,876.

     Accounts receivable at December 31, 2003 were $1,324,794, an increase of $189,018 from the December 31, 2002 balance of $1,135,776. Despite the increase in accounts receivable, which was the result of higher sales volumes in December 2003, as compared to December 2002, the overall aging of the current balance of accounts receivable has improved from the prior year. As a result, the allowance for bad debts at December 31, 2003 was reduced to $65,000 from $80,000 at December 31, 2002.

     Inventories of $43,183 at December 31, 2003 have been reduced from $92,276 at December 31, 2002. The sole component remaining in the Company’s inventory, other than software, is a

17

solid-state device utilized to collect and store call records in multi-site environments. Future inventory balances will fluctuate depending on the level of orders that require this device, but, in total, future inventory balances will constitute an insignificant percentage of the Company’s current total assets.

     Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $130,509 at December 31, 2003, declined 29% from $182,630 at December 31, 2002. The lower balance reflects reductions in the prepaid portions of certain business insurance policies, prepaid commissions, and maintenance contracts on specified equipment from the previous year.

     As of December 31, 2003, the cost value of property and equipment of $5,833,354 was reduced from the cost value of property and equipment at December 31, 2002 of $6,656,249. During 2003, the Company wrote-off approximately $934,000 of obsolete equipment, the majority of which had been fully depreciated, recording a loss on the disposal of this equipment of approximately $1,000. For the full year ended December 31, 2003, the Company purchased $111,320 of new capital equipment, consisting primarily of computer equipment utilized in the Company’s research and development function.

     Software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $1,817,438 at December 31, 2003, up 14% from capitalized development costs of $1,590,054 at December 31, 2002. During 2003 the Company capitalized $682,091 of current development costs associated with the development of the VeraSMART® platform and amortized $454,707 of previously capitalized costs.

     Pension and related assets increased from $2,303,580 at December 31, 2002 to $2,511,847 at December 31, 2003. The increase primarily reflects the change in the cash surrender values of Company-owned life insurance policies. The death benefit and cash values of these policies are intended to fund future pension obligations of the Company. The current cash surrender values of these policies are approximately $1,858,000 and are available to fund current operations of the Company in the event that should become necessary.

     Accounts payable have been reduced from $265,184 at December 31, 2002 to $212,660 at December 31, 2003. The decrease reflects merely the timing of payments to vendors and suppliers rather than a change in Company payment practices.

     Accrued compensation and related taxes increased to $491,848 at December 31, 2003 from $392,808 at the end of 2002. The increase reflects an increase of approximately $76,000 in accruals for current salaries and bonuses payable, as well as an increase of approximately $20,000 in accruals required for accrued vacation time payable.

     Deferred revenues of $2,918,337 at December 31, 2003 decreased $281,808 from the prior year balance primarily as a result in reduced sales of the Company’s Quantum Series™® enterprise-level products, which is being phased out and replaced by the VeraSMART® solution. Deferred revenues represent services such as training, installation and maintenance and support for which the Company has billed customers, but for which it has not yet performed the associated services. All services currently deferred, are expected to be provided over the next twelve months, and recorded as sales revenue at the time those services are actually rendered.

18

     Other accrued liabilities of $209,364 at December 31, 2003 increased from $167,808 at December 31, 2002 due to an increase of approximately $39,000 in an accrual required for potential sales and use tax due the State of New York based on the preliminary results of an audit currently being conducted by the State.

     As of December 31, 2003, the Company has an accumulated pension obligation of $4,009,849, up from $3,625,000 at December 31, 2002. The increase includes the effects of a reduction in the liability discount rate applied to future pension obligations from 7% to 6% to reflect current economic indicators.

     Stockholders equity at December 31, 2003 is $1,508,687 versus a total equity of $1,171,033 at December 31, 2002. The change in the balance reflects the 2003 net income of $294,934, proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $58,793 and $15,968 received from employees of the Company for purchase of Company stock through an Employee’s Stock Purchase Plan.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

     Pension Obligations - The Company sponsors a non-qualified, unfunded, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), that 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 Company’s creditors.

     Recovery of 100% of projected SERP costs is designed through a program of Company-owned life insurance (COLI). Recovery for the inputted 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 benefit attached to these policies is $10.2 million dollars and is not included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2003.

     The cash surrender values of these policies at December 31, 2003 totaled approximately $1,858,000 and are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption of “Pension and Related Assets.”

     The projected future pension benefits under this plan are as follows, assuming retirement at 65 and a life expectancy of 80 years for all participants:

19

     The net present value of these projected pension obligations at December 31, 2003, totals $4,009,849, and is included in the liability section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption under “Pension Obligation.”

     Lease Obligations – The Company leases current manufacturing and office facilities and certain equipment under operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2008. Rent expense under all operating leases (exclusive of real estate taxes and other expenses payable under the leases) was approximately $558,000, $615,000, and $616,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2003 under capital and operating leases are as follows:

     Purchase Commitments – The Company has no purchase commitment contracts in place as of December 31, 2003.

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 2003 include:

20

     In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain.

     The Company’s overall policies with regard to revenue recognition are set forth in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As noted therein, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and related interpretations. Our software licensing with customers typically have terms and conditions that are described in signed orders. Revenue from perpetual licenses is recognized upon delivery of the licensed product, provided that acceptance has occurred and a signed contractual obligation has been received, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility of the receivable is probable.

     Service revenues consist principally of software installation, implementation, upgrades, and customer training, as well as software maintenance agreements that include both customer support and the right to upgrades. The Company estimates the value of post-contract customer support sold together with perpetual licenses by reference to published price lists which generally represent the prices at which customers could purchase renewal contracts for such services. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, usually one year. Revenue from training, support and other services is recognized as the services are performed.

     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.

21

     As set forth in Note 8 – 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 Company’s 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

     In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement clarifies the accounting guidance on derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. The standard is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of SFAS No. 150 as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

     On January 17, 2003 the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The objective of Financial Interpretation No. 46 is to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. Financial Interpretation No. 46 changes certain consolidation requirements by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements apply to entities created before February 1, 2003, no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003, as amended by FASB Staff Position Financial Interpretation 46-R. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

     In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Issue 00-21 provides guidance on how to

22

account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provision of Issue 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of Issue 00-21 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Issues and Risks

     The following factors, among others discussed herein and in the Company’s 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:

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 Veramark’s products, reverse engineer or obtain and use information that Veramark regards as proprietary. In addition, Veramark sometimes use “click-wrap” licenses, under which it license its products, which may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Also, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect Veramark’s proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Any misappropriation of Veramark’s 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 other’s 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 if 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, Veramark’s revenue will be adversely affected. Additionally, Veramark’s 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

23

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

Veramark’s 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 Veramark’s products. Any loss of the continued availability of those relationships could have a material adverse effect on Veramark’s business and results of operations.

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, 2003 and 2002 the carrying value of investments approximated fair market value. Investments at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following:

2003. There were no development costs capitalized in 2002. The Company amortized $454,707 of development costs capitalized in prior years in 2003, and $915,102 of prior capitalized development costs in 2002. 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 2003, 2002 and 2001.

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, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2003 and 2002, the Company has no long-term debt.

Revenue recognition - Revenue is derived from the sale of computer software products and from related maintenance contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, and related interpretations. Revenue from the sale of computer software products is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of the product, the selling price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility of the receivable is probable. The Company estimates the value of post-contract customer support, sold together with the computer software products, by reference to published price lists which generally represent the prices at which customers could purchase renewal contracts for such services. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Costs related to maintenance obligations are expensed as incurred. Revenue from training, support and other services is recognized as the services are performed.

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 2003 are 612,337 shares, representing the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants issued. There were no dilutive effects of stock options and warrants in 2002 or 2001, as the effect would be anti-dilutive, due to net losses 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 Company’s comprehensive income includes net loss or earnings, and unrealized gains or losses on available for sale investments.

35

Research and Development Costs – Research and development costs, other than certain software development costs previously disclosed in Note 1, are expensed as incurred.

Post Retirement benefits – In December 2003, the Company adopted the revisions to SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” This revised standard requires additional disclosures in the financial statements about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Reclassifications - Certain prior year balances have been made to conform with current year presentation, which have no effect on net income or loss.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company continues to measure compensation for such plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting, prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB), Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Accounting Pronouncements

     In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement clarifies the accounting guidance on derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. The standard is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of SFAS No. 150 as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

     On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The objective of Financial Interpretation No. 46 is to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. Financial Interpretation No. 46 changes certain consolidation requirements by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements apply to entities created before February 1, 2003, and no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003, as amended by FASB Staff Position Financial Interpretation 46-R. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

     In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Issue 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of Issue 00-21 applied to revenue arrangements entered into in periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of Issue 00-21 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s 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, 2003, 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.

The Company paid pension obligations of $159,134, $158,817, and $159,767 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. A reconciliation of the SERP plan’s funded status with amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is as follows:
