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 $24,700 to operating expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006.
For the three and nine months ended September 2005, 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: |

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS) |
|
|
|
SFAS 128 Earnings Per Share requires the Company to calculate 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 only 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 |
|
|
|
Our agreements with customers generally require us to indemnify the customer against claims
that our 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
September 30, 2006 we had not experienced any material losses related to these
indemnification obligations and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. We
do not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations, and
consequently, we have not established any related reserves. |

Overview
Sales of $2,590,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $7,640,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 compare with sales of $2,669,000 and $7,957,000 respectively, for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005.
12
Our net loss of $173,000, or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2006
compares with a net loss of $48,000, or $0.01 per share for the three months ended September 30,
2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the net loss incurred is $437,000, or $0.05 per
share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we reported a net income of $116,000, or $0.01
per diluted share.
Orders booked for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 of $2,977,000, represented an increase of
13% from orders booked of $2,625,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. For the first nine
months of 2006 we have experienced an increase in orders booked for each of our three major product
categories as compared to the first nine months of 2005. Orders for eCAS products and services have
increased 6%, orders for VeraSMART product and services have increased 15%, and orders for Managed
Services have increased 72% from the prior year. In late September the company announced the
signing of a three year managed service contract with a large national beverage company valued in
excess of $200,000 over the term of the contract. This new client will utilize our Call Accounting
module to perform departmental bill back of telecom charges in addition to employing Veramarks
Invoice Management module to perform carrier bill management and allocate usage charges from
multiple wireless and wire-line carriers.
Gross operating expenses of $2,574,000 and $7,496,000 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 increased 2% and 1% respectively from expenses levels of $2,529,000 and $7,435,000 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Sales
Sales of eCAS products and services increased 2% for the both three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 as compared with the same three and nine month periods of 2005, accounting for 65% of
sales revenues in 2006, up from 62% of total revenues in 2005.
Sales of VeraSMART, our enterprise level product offering, decreased 1% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 as compared the same quarter a year ago, but have increased 6% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 from the same nine month period of 2005. During the third quarter
we received eight new orders for VeraSMART spanning the healthcare, government, publishing, and
retail markets. Based upon the scheduled installation and implementation dates, portions of the
revenues associated with several of these orders are expected to be recognized during the fourth
quarter and beyond.
Revenues derived from our Managed Services Group (formerly Outsourced Solutions) increased 20% for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from
the same three and nine month periods a year ago. We offer hosted services in a variety of
scenarios ranging from full service to Application Service Provider (ASP) modules. Utilizing the
same telemanagement tools developed for our premise based solutions our Managed Service Group can
remotely poll, process, and report on telecommunication and work flow activities and provide
comprehensive reports and analysis in a variety of formats. With the addition of the new client
referred to in the overview section of this report, Veramark now manages service arrangements with
eight clients. Revenues for this latest client are expected to commence in the fourth quarter.
Offsetting the year to date increases in sales of eCAS, VeraSMART, and Managed Services is a 32%
reduction in Quantum maintenance revenues. New sales of Quantum, Vera Smarts predecessor product
were discontinued in April 2003 with the initial introduction of the VeraSMART platform. We have
continued our maintenance support of Quantum since that time, however are now in the process of
phasing out that support, with maintenance for Quantum no longer being offered beyond December 31,
2007.

Cost of Sales
Gross margins (defined as sales less cost of sales) of 78% of sales for both the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006 decreased from gross margins of 83% for both the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005. The lower margins reflect higher direct product costs attributable
to multi site VeraSMART implementations, and an increase in amortization costs associated with
previously capitalized software development costs.
Operating Expenses
Net expenses for engineering and software development of $185,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 decreased 30% from net engineering and software development expenses of $266,000
for the same three month period of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 net
engineering and software development expenses of $536,000 decreased 28% from expenses of $746,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The reduction in net expenses for both periods is

Our development efforts during 2006 have been focused on the development of VeraSMART 5.0, the
release of which was announced October 5, 2006. VeraSMART 5.0 introduces an Asset Management Module
to the VeraSMART suite. The Asset Management Module is completely integrated with our Work
Order/Help Desk, Allocation, and Directory modules allowing VeraSMART to offer a complete
stand-alone work flow and facilities management solution, and allow enterprises to manage, track
and optimize both their tangible and non-tangible assets throughout their life cycle.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,025,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2006 increased 1% from expenses of $2,002,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 selling, general and administrative expenses of $5,907,000
increased 2% from expenses of $5,771,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase
in operating expenses
results from higher salary, benefit, and travel expenses attributable to the addition of personnel
to strengthen our direct sales force presence and marketing capabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2006 Veramark total cash balance position (cash plus short-term investments)
of $1,501,000, decreased from $1,631,000 at June 30, 2006, yet remains relatively unchanged from
the December 31, 2005 total cash position of $1,511,000. The company does not foresee significant
variations in total cash position during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Accounts receivable of $1,301,000 at September 30, 2006 decreased 15% from the December 31, 2005
balance of $1,522,000, however increased 11% from the June 30, 2006 balance of $1,177,000. The
reserve for bad debts is $33,000 at September 30, 2006 up from $32,000 at December 31, 2005. We
have seen no significant change in the percentage of past due accounts during 2006, nor have we
experienced significant write-offs of accounts during the first nine months of 2006.
Prepaid expenses consisting primarily 2006 business insurance renewals and prepaid rent, total
$260,000 at September 30, 2006, up from $161,000 at December 31, 2005. Prepaid expenses will
decrease during the fourth quarter as the economic benefit associated with the prepaid insurance
premiums are realized and charged against income.
During the first nine months of 2006 capital equipment purchases total $97,000, primarily for new
equipment utilized in our software development and managed services operations, but also include an
upgrade to our telephone and voicemail systems. During 2006 we have disposed of approximately
$52,000 of obsolete equipment, all of which had been fully depreciated.
Software development costs capitalized and included on our Balance Sheet at September 30, 2006 of
$3,135,000 have increased $308,000, or 11% from the December 31, 2005 balance of $2,827,000. During
the first nine months of 2006 we capitalized $1,054,000 of software development costs, versus
$917,000 of capitalization for the first nine months of 2005. The amortization expense associated
with previously capitalized development costs, and charged to cost of sales, totaled $746,000 for
the first nine months of 2006, up from $604,000 for the first nine months of 2005.
Pension assets which consist of the cash surrender value of company owned life insurance policies
designed to fund future pension obligations, total $2,645,000 at September 30, 2006, an increase of
6% from cash surrender values of $2,502,000 at December 31, 2005. These cash surrender values are
available to the company to fund current operations in the event that became necessary, though
management does not envision that need in the near future. Not included on the companys balance
sheet is the aggregate death benefit attached to the company owned policies, which totals $10.2
million.
Current liabilities total $4,129,000 at September 30, 2006, representing an increase of 6% from
total current liabilities of $3,913,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in current liabilities
results from an increase of $262,000 in the value of deferred revenues from $2,936,000 at December
31, 2005 to $3,198,000 at September
30, 2006. Deferred revenues consist of services such as training, installation, maintenance and
support, and consulting fees for which the company has billed customers, but have not yet provided
the contracted service, and therefore have not yet recognized the revenue associated with those
services. Virtually all of the services currently included in deferred revenues are expected to be
performed and converted to revenue during the next twelve months.
15
Stockholders Equity at September 30, 2006 is $1,389,000, a reduction of $397,000 from the December
31, 2005 balance of $1,786,000. The reduction in equity include the loss of $437,000 incurred for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, partially offset by proceeds received from the exercise
of employee stock options and the purchase of Company stock by employees under the companys
employee stock purchase plan.
In managements opinion, given our current cash and investment position, current operating expense
levels, and the absence of debt, sufficient resources are available to fully fund operations for
the next twelve months and beyond.
Accounting Pronouncements
|
1) |
|
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which updates the guidance in
SAB No. 101, integrates the related set of Frequently Asked Questions, and recognizes the
role of EITF 00-21. The adoption of SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements. |
|
|
2) |
|
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 Companys financial position or
results of operations. |
|
|
3) |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes
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 eliminates 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(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax
effects and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS 123(R) 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(R) 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(R). In April 2005, the
SEC issued a rule that SFAS
16
No. 123(R) will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after June 15, 2005.
|
|
|
SFAS 123(R) became effective for our fiscal year 2006 and we utilized the modified
prospective method. We have selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the most
appropriate fair-value method for our awards and will recognize compensation cost on a
straight-line basis over our awards vesting periods. Although the adoption of SFAS No.
123(R) had no adverse impact on our balance sheet or total cash flows, it is expected to
negatively impact our net income and earnings per share for 2006 by less than $50,000. The
actual effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will 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. |
|
|
4) |
|
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 have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. |
|
|
5) |
|
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. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our
results of operations or financial condition. |
|
|
6) |
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective as of the beginning of
the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on its consolidated
financial statements. |
|
|
7) |
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,
88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the
overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to
recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income. SFAS 158 is effective for an employer with publicly traded equity
securities as of the end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, SFAS 158
also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its
year-end statement of financial position, effective for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2008 As such, the Company is required to recognize the funded status of its defined
benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required |
17
|
|
|
disclosures at the beginning of the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS
158 on its consolidated financial statements. |
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
18
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
19
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
managed service 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 intense 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.
20
Item 3 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.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys
Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (Chief Accounting 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.
